Ye Kun looked as if he was electrocuted. He slowly lifted his head. His voice was croaky, as if he had just emerged from an otherworldly tomb. “Xiao Mei? Is that you?”

“It’s been so many years, yet you still didn’t change a bit…”

As he was saying that, Ye Kun extended his quivering arm, trying to touch Mu Chenyan’s face. However, his intense shaking had left him feeling inadequate as his outstretched hands faltered and returned to his side.

He looked down on his wobbling form, seemingly embarrassed.

Mu Chenyan crouched down and looked at the surprised expression on the aged face on the man. “Mr Ye, do you know my mother?”

Mu Chenyan was sure that Ye Kun must have mistaken her for Yan Mei as her visage does resemble her mother.

Hearing Mu Chenyan, Ye Kun’s eyes widened as if he had just woken from a dream. He was stunned looking at Mu Chenyan’s similar yet alien face. Carefully, he perused the face in front of him, trying to determine if it belonged to his Lil Mei.

“My mother is Yan Mei…”

Mu Chenyan did not expect how her quest to investigate why Zhao Yanni wanted to poison this man turned into a reunion of mother’s old acquaintance.

What an unforeseen result!

“You… you are the child born of Mu Family in Xi Fan… Young Master… Young Master married you…”

Ye Kun seemed to have understood. His senescent face paled, his hands scrambled about his body searching for something.

His eyes were crimson from the agitation. With his old injury, his hands trembling hysterically. Mu Chenyan took a step back in fright. “What… what are you looking for?”

“Cigarette… Where’re my cigarettes… Give me a cigarette…”

Ye Kun roared as he continued scouring on his wheelchair.

Mu Chenyan helped him look for his cigarettes. A pack of strong-smelling cigarette that Yuan Xuan gave him slipped out of the wheelchair. Mu Chenyan picked it up and passed him a roll.

Ye Kun took the cigarette. Mu Chenyan looked around and found a lighter on the table, which she used to light the cigarette for Ye Kun.

Ye Kun took a puff and exhaled a long ring of smoke.

The calming effects of the cigarette slowly allowing the man to cool down. He took a while and looked up, his reddish eyes fixing onto Mu Chenyan.

Suddenly, he laughed. His laughter filled the empty ward, which at this point, seemed ghastly, creepy, and abrupt…

Mu Chenyan felt a little scared. Under Ye Kun’s stare, she took a few steps back and asked, “Mr Ye, what is my mother to you?”

Mu Chenyan had wanted to ask why Zhao Yanni wanted to hurt him, but as he knew her mother, he must know Mu Feng. His hands were full of calluses, so he must have used guns, he could even be her father’s comrade…

Thinking about that, Mu Chenyan was a little stirred. She stared at Ye Kun expectantly. Hearing her inquiry on his relationship with Yan Mei, Ye Kun’s eyes cooled dramatically.

“You’re here to find me just so you can ask me what my relationship with Yan Mei is?”

The man paused, reviewing what he had just said, “Or did your brother send you to kill me?”

Mu Chenyan was confused. She did not understand how the man would change so quickly. Talking about her mother had gotten him to be gentle, but now he was claiming that her brother wanted to kill him…

“No! I don’t know what you’re talking about. I can’t even get in touch with my brother right now, how would I want to kill you? We have no dispute between us…”

“No disputes?” Ye Kun continued to laugh. “You Mu Family have no disputes between us? I can’t wait to kill every one of you Mu people so none of you could be redeemed…”

The man’s voice was strained and fatigued. He glowered at Mu Chenyan. “If you weren’t Lil Mei’s daughter, I would have killed you to hurt her. I really want to kill you with my own hands… I love her so much, how would I make her sad…”

Mu Chenyan shuddered. She was worried that the crazy man would go through with his threats and choke her to death.

Seeing Mu Chenyan’s fear, Ye Kun murmured.

“And Young Master, he’s been entranced by you, I don’t you why he would marry you, what a disgrace!”

Ye Kun was extremely melancholic at this point. He kept quiet for a while before realizing something and grasped his hair maniacally. “No, Young Master must have married you for vengeance! Yes, vengeance, pure, unadulterated vengeance, he wouldn’t have loved you… He knows your identity… he married you for revenge…”

“What if I make the decision for him, he must have been in pain. He can’t kill you by his hands, so I will…”

He suddenly turned around on his wheelchair and charged at Mu Chenyan!

Mu Chenyan did not understand why Ye Kun would hate her to her bones. She did not understand why he would claim that Yuan Xuan marrying her was to exact revenge. ‘What does that even mean?’

Back then, her brother also said the same thing in front of the tombstone. Why would they say that?

Seeing Ye Kun pounce, Mu Chenyan tried to put distance between them. “Don’t… Don’t come near me!”

Ye Kun’s red eyes glared at Mu Chenyan, still mumbling about killing her. His crazed look could only be described as savage and scary.

Mu Chenyan screamed, tripped by the velvet rug left on the ground by Ye Kun, and fell. Ye Kun had already closed in with her in an attempt to choke Mu Chenyan to death.

His stature was imposing, and even though he was hurt on his upper body, his frenzy had provided him with an abnormal strength to normal human beings.

Hearing Mu Chenyan’s scream, Zheng Shuyan rushed in. The guards also noticed the ruckus in the room and hurried over.

Mu Chenyan’s face was red and her eyes lined with fear.

“Mr Ye, please calm down!”

Zheng Shuyan pulled at Mu Chenyan. Following him, the two guards held Ye Kun from behind and called out loudly, “Mr Ye, that’s a nurse, you’ve mistaken!”

“No! She’s not, she’s that kid! I need to kill her… There were so many deaths in Xi Fan, and all of them was because of him, it’s him… General’s dead… Everyone’s dead… I’m still alive, I need to avenge them… Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated and killed the general. He wants to kill me, he’s afraid that I might expose him…”

Ye Kun struggled in an increasingly deranged streak. The two guards could not do much except to ask Zheng Shuyan for help. “Doctor Zheng, please give him a shot of that tranquilizer!”

Ye Kun had lost control before, so the ward had tranquilizers prepared.

Zheng Shuyan quickly took the syringe and a dose of the tranquilizer, prepared it, and injected Ye Kun with it while the two guards held him down.

The drug soon took effect as Ye Kun slowly quietened and was knocked out.

As the two guards carried Ye Kun back to his bed, Mu Chenyan was still in shock, her face as white as paper.

She was still recalling Ye Kun’s words. “Mu Feng and his people from Xi Fan cooperated…”

This version and Mu Chenwu’s, which one was the truth?

The cooperation between Mu Feng and his men from Xi Fan was Yuan Family’s ploy to trap Mu Feng, according to Mu Chenwu.

However, the crazed Ye Kun had no reason to lie under this circumstance.

Just as she was spacing out, Zheng Shuyan asked her, “Miss Mu, are you alright?”

Mu Chenyan’s arm was scratched in several areas, and the skin on her delicate neck was showing startlingly purplish bruises.

What fun, now Yuan Xuan would definitely find out!

Mu Chenyan was really bummed as she looked at Zheng Shuyan apologetically. “Doctor Zheng, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to involve you in this!”

Zheng Shuyan smiled. “What’s done is done, so don’t be sorry. You were almost dead!”

Mu Chenyan sighed. “I seem to have done something really bad! Yuan Xuan would not forgive me if he finds out…”

She had done so many things behind Yuan Xuan’s back. The first few times only counted as minor incidents, so Yuan Xuan could turn a blind eye to them and even used her to get things going.

However, her visit to Ye Kun this time was unauthorized, and Ye Kun was Yuan Xuan’s secret.

Even though she did not get a verbal confirmation, she could already confirm that Zhao Yanni and Ye Kun had no prior disputes.

So, the one who sent her to kill Ye Kun was her own brother?

Could it be that it was like Ye Kun had said, someone wanted him killed to bury a secret?

Another issue was unraveled. If Mu Family did want Ye Kun killed, the only person who would transport Shu Qinger back to Luo Hai would be her brother.

Knowing that, Mu Chenyan’s heart broke.

No matter what intention on which her brother was operating, him moving Qinger to Luo Hai did implicate that he knew Qinger was alive.

This old case had her locked behind bars for two years, while her own brother knew the victim was not dead…

If she did not find out this on her own, she would still be in the dark from her brother’s secret!

Noticing the swift switches of facial expression on Mu Chenyan’s face, Zheng Shuyan thought she was not well. “Miss Mu, let me send you home!”

Mu Chenyan dismissed him. “Don’t worry about that. I drove here. If Dean Yuan finds out about this, you would be implicated, I’m really sorry, Doctor Zheng…”

Mu Chenyan apologized again. Zheng Shuyan sighed, “Miss Mu, let me bring you to get that sanitized.”

Mu Chenyan looked at her arms and nodded.

On the other side, a guard finished settling Ye Kun into his bed and picked up his phone. “Sir, a lady snuck in disguised as a nurse, Mr Ye went berserk and almost choked her to death…”

Mu Chenyan and Zheng Shuyan shared a glance…

…

Liu Li Villa

Receiving the call, Yuan Xuan’s irises shrank, and his brows furrowed.

“Is the lady hurt?”

After waiting for the answer, Yuan Xuan’s brows were almost knitted together.

“Let the doctor take care of her injury and send her back to Hibiscus Garden, Send someone to keep an eye on her!”

Yuan Xuan was enraged and looked frightening!

A man stepped out of the wine cellar. The white suit of him highlighted his grace as he had, in his hand, a 1982 collector’s edition bottle of red wine and a cigarette in his other hand.

His face was suave not less than Yuan Xuan’s. It may be his long-term stay out of the country that was causing his meal preference to be westernized, his bone structure to be more defined, and his muscles to be more developed.

He had an air of wickedness on him. Maybe he was too attractive, to the point that the slashing scar on his left cheek did not mar his appeal but only added a hint of bloodlust allure to him.

Seeing Yuan Xuan’s expressions as well as hearing the words, Shen Muqiu could guess a little about what had happened. He gently swung the bottle of wine in a rhythmic oscillation. “The only thing that didn’t change here is this wine cellar!”

Knowing this man had consumed a great amount of his treasured collection in just half a month, Yuan Xuan did not want to entertain him.

Shen Muqiu could recognize Yuan Xuan’s impatience. He inhaled from the cigarette and opened the bottle of wine. “I’m guessing it’s your Little Chili who got into trouble!”
