Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mu Qingxue had not returned home since the day she left the house. Su Tianhang could not get through to her phone and did not receive any reply to his messages. He sent someone to look for her, only to find that the car she was driving was parked in an abandoned parking lot.
She was gone and the car was parked in such a place. Moreover, the traces in the car were clearly cleaned up by someone.
It was obvious that something had happened.
Mu Qingxue was either kidnapped or murdered.
If she was kidnapped, then he had something to ask for. Mu Qingxue’s safety should not be a problem.
Then he only needed to wait for the kidnappers to call and demand a ransom.
However, a day, two days, and a week had passed, but he did not receive any calls.
Mu Qingxue did not appear again.
Su Tianhang started to feel uneasy.
If she was not kidnapped, then she must have been murdered.
Was she murdered intentionally or accidentally?
No matter what, she had to be found, alive or dead.
Su Tianhang sent more people to look for Mu Qingxue.
However, there was no result. It was as if Mu Qingxue had disappeared from this world. Not only could she not be found, he could not even find any trace of her.
From the looks of it, Mu Qingxue was most likely dead. She was most likely murdered.
However, for some reason, Su Tianhang felt that Mu Qingxue was not dead. She was just locked up.
Before Mu Qingxue disappeared, the last person she saw was Long Junyao. She met Long Junyao in order to rope him in. It could also be said that she was threatening him.
Although it was Mu Qingxue who threatened Long Junyao…
Long Junyao knew very well that killing Mu Qingxue was useless. The real threat was Su Tianhang who wanted him to turn against Su Yian.
If it was not Long Junyao, then who was it?
There were not many people who were on good terms with Mu Qingxue, but she had a person that she feared and disliked. It could also be said that she had a grudge against.
It was Chu Yan’s girlfriend, Ye Qingran.
She had once mentioned to him that the Ye family had harmed her father, and Ye Qingran had repeatedly set her up.
Was Mu Qingxue’s disappearance related to Ye Qingran? A sharp glint flashed across Su Tianhang’s eyes.
Whether it was true or not, he would know once he investigated it.
Winter came especially early in the capital city. It had only just entered winter when heavy snow started to fall.
The whistling cold wind swept up the white snow and covered the capital city in white.
Ye Qingran stayed at home and rested for a few days before returning to school.
She had been thinking about how Mu Qingxue had harassed her for the past few days. If Ruoruo found out about it, Mu Qingxue would probably not dare to harass her anymore. However, she could not ignore the fact that Ruoruo was pushed into the river.
Ye Qingran did not know about Mu Qingxue’s disappearance.
Before she could think of how to deal with Mu Qingxue, she was welcomed by an uninvited guest.
She stopped in her tracks and did not move forward. She stood in the snow and looked calmly at the man who was approaching her step by step.
The man was obviously prepared and was waiting for her to finish her class. Hence, it was not a coincidence that the two of them met.
Why was he looking for her?
Su Tianhang stopped ten steps away from Ye Qingran. His black jacket could not hide the man’s tall and straight figure. He still looked tall and handsome.
He had seen this woman once, on the day of Su Yian’s engagement.
Initially, he did not pay attention to her. It was Mu Qingxue who kept staring at her. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable hatred.
At that time, he asked and only then did he know that she was Ye Qingran. Mu Qingxue wanted to kill her as soon as possible.
At that time, he saw that Ye Qingran was beautiful and quiet. She did not speak much and her brows were peaceful. It was as if she did not care about anything.
However, he could tell that this woman was like a demon in a painting. She was not easy to deal with.
It was no wonder that Mu Qingxue was taken advantage of by her.
He strongly suspected that Mu Qingxue went missing because she wanted to do something to this woman. Then, she was backstabbed.
As Su Tianhang thought about it, he looked at Ye Qingran with a sharper gaze. His body was deliberately emitting a threatening aura. He wanted to suppress Ye Qingran in terms of aura.
This way, he would be able to know what he wanted to know from her mouth.
Ye Qingran was a very sharp person.
How could she not see through Su Tianhang? He deliberately assumed the posture of a superior, wanting to gain the upper hand first.
However, she was not afraid at all. From the beginning to the end, she looked at him indifferently. She looked gentle and did not have the slightest bit of offensive power. However, her entire person exuded an aura that caused her to be cold and distant.
It was obvious that she did not care about the man in front of her at all.
The two of them stood opposite each other in silence.
Although they looked calm, they were actually full of hidden currents that could erupt at any moment.
Su Tianhang sneered in his heart. This woman was really calm, his first instinct was right. This woman was very troublesome and difficult to deal with.
If Mu Qingxue really fell into her hands, she would probably be in deep trouble.
“I’m sorry to bother you, Miss Ye.” Compared to the way he looked at Ye Qingran, his tone was very gentle and polite.
This made Ye Qingran raise her eyebrows.
As expected of the biggest villain in the book, he was patient enough.
Ye Qingran smiled calmly and asked, “Yes.”
Su Tianhang did not beat around the bush. Instead, he told her the purpose of his trip. “I’m here to ask if Miss Ye knows where Qingxue is.”
“How would I know where Mu Qingxue is?” Wasn’t the person in front of her too funny? He was clearly Mu Qingxue’s boyfriend.
“About a week ago, it rained heavily. She hasn’t come back since she left.” Su Tianhang spoke very slowly. His gaze fell on Ye Qingran’s face, not missing any changes in her expression.
A week ago?
It was raining heavily?
Wasn’t that the day she went shopping with Ruoruo.
Could it be that Mu Qingxue pushed Ruoruo into the river that day, was afraid of being sued, was afraid of going to jail, and hid herself?
If she was really afraid of hiding, there was no way she wouldn’t tell Su Tianhang.
“You came looking for me when she went missing. Did you think that I kidnapped her?” Ye Qingran’s eyes were warm, and her expression was as calm as a tranquil lake, she said directly, “Or did you think that I killed Mu Qingxue and wanted to ask where I destroyed her body?”
Su Tianhang:”…”
He thought the same, but he did not expect her to say it out loud.
For a moment, he did not know what to say.
However, Ye Qingran did not seem to notice his awkwardness. “Do you want to call the police and have them check my whereabouts?”
Su Tianhang looked at her quietly, and a hint of cold contemplation flashed across his eyes. He suddenly smiled and asked, “Did I think that, or is that the truth?”
It looked like a simple conversation, but in reality, it was as sharp as a blade.
