After sending Ye Xin away, Mu Qing rubbed his temples, exhausted.
Things had gone completely off the rails. The switcheroo plan he had come up with to replace Song Ning with Ye Xin was completely replicated. The other party had secretly swapped Song Ning and Ye Xin back. Who was behind this? Apart from knowing about the switch, what else did the other party
know?
He suddenly felt as though there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, watching his every move. This feeling made him break out in cold sweat.
After a while, he called Ji An.
“Find Liang Zhou for me. No matter what, you have to find her!”
“Yes, boss! There’s another matter I want to report,” Ji An said tentatively.
“Speak.”
“The two wanted criminals who were involved in the car accident were hired by Ning Dong.”
“What did you say?” Mu Qing was shocked.
Ji An gulped. “Ning Dong asked me to recommend two people to him, and I did. However, he did not use those two people I recommended. Instead, he found the two wanted criminals somewhere else and orchestrated a car accident. That kid is really terrifying. At such a young age, he’s already so
scheming and ruthless. If it weren’t because I overheard this, I would’ve been kept in the dark as well.”
“Then, did you know that apart from the two wanted criminals, there was another person in the car crash?” Mu Qing asked.
“Huh? No, I know nothing about that,” Ji An said, shocked. He did not expect there to be another twist.
‘Mu Qing calmed down and said, “Investigate Ning Dong. We’ve clearly misjudged and underestimated him. That kid is even more vicious than his father.”
Ning Zhe was focused on his business while Ning Dong was doing all these things behind his back. Mu Qing knew very well that Ning Dong’s target was Ye Xin. However, the person who took Ye Xin away was not Ning Dong. After going to such lengths, how could Ning Dong let Ye Xin live?
While they were busy pursuing their goals, they were unaware of a greater danger lurking behind them. Like a puppet master, someone was watching them while pulling the strings from behind the scene! Who was it?
‘Mu Qing’s palms were sweating, He could only continue to advance. It was not the end yet, and the outcome had not been decided.
He would not allow Song Ning to return to the Mu family so easily. Mu Chen and his mother clearly hoped to let Song Ning return seamlessly and quietly. No matter how much Song Ning had suffered, they planned to bear with it. Naturally, it was also for the good of the Mu family.
‘Mu Qing sneered. Song Ning was truly virtuous. She was actually willing to make such a huge sacrifice for Mu Chen.
Right now, the most important thing was to find Liang Zhou. As long as Liang Zhou was not colluding with Mu Chen and Jiang Jin, it would mean that he had not been exposed. With that, he could continue to advance. After all, he had his trump card, Ye Xin, and behind his trump card was Ning Zhe. Now,
he could pull Ning Zhe firmly to his side.
Ye Xin was ignorant, but Mu Qing could clearly see that Ning Zhe’s goal was Zhuang Ji. Everyone was busy scrambling for benefits.
After that, he made a few more calls to send more people to look for Liang Zhou.
Finally, he called home.
‘The helper who answered the call said, “Master, Madam brought Xiao Yu to the mountain to meditate. Don’t you know?”
Mu Qing was stunned. Liang Zhou had gone to the mountain to meditate?
The helper continued to say, “Madam kept having nightmares about something bad happening to you. She couldn’t sleep well and her spirits were low. Hence, she brought Xiao Yu to the temple in the mountain to pray for blessings and meditate. Did Madam want to surprise you? After all, she performed
many rituals for you, but she didn’t want us to tell you about them..”
