Chapter 198: Things Were Messed Up

Mu Qingxue returned to the apartment and looked at the 100-square-meter apartment. It had two bedrooms and two living rooms, and it was decorated simply. Most people could afford such a house.

She had been with Long Junyao before, and with his wealth, he could easily live in a small villa.

If Yao Jun’s family was powerful and he was one of the heirs, it should not be too bad.

She didn’t understand why she would still believe Yao Jun after seeing his wealth, thinking that he was a noble from Europe.

How could a noble who expanded their business will live in such a poor little house?

She was really stupid before, believing it without any doubt.

It was all Ye Qingran’s fault for scheming her, letting this Yao Jun appear when she was at her most helpless.

That was why she did not suspect anything and gave everything without holding anything back.

She went to take a shower and opened her suitcase to pack some clothes and daily necessities.

Then, she closed the suitcase and put it back on the spot.

There was a soft sound coming from the living room. It sounded like Yao Jun had returned.

Mu Qingxue clenched her fists subconsciously and stopped her racing heart.

She took a deep breath and walked out of the living room with a sweet smile on her face. “Jun, you’re back.”

Yao Jun smiled gently at her. “You’re back too.”

“Yes.” Mu Qingxue walked over and sat down beside Yao Jun. She was in a bad mood and pretended to be fine.

“What’s wrong?” Yao Jun asked with concern.

Mu Qingxue looked up at Yao Jun. She wanted to say something but hesitated. She looked like she could not say anything.

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head.

Yao Jun held her hand. “If there’s anything, just say it. I can help you. I will help you.”

As if she was comforted and encouraged by Yao Jun, her eyes slowly turned red. In the end, she started to cry softly. “My mother is sick. I told her that I would bring her to the hospital but she refused. She said that she had gone to the hospital and asked about it. It will cost a lot of money. She doesn’t want to drag me down. I’m really sad.”

Yao Jun immediately said, “Of course she has to go to the hospital if she’s sick. Don’t worry about the money. Don’t you still have me?”

Mu Qingxue was in a difficult position. She cried and said, “I’ve asked too. It’s more than a million dollars. It’s too much. I can’t let you pay for it.”

Yao Jun asked, “Then, are you leaving your mother alone?”

If he could, he didn’t want to reply in this way. However, if he wanted to continue acting, he had to act the entire scene. In the current situation, he had to agree. He would see how to resolve it later.

Mu Qingxue wiped her tears and said to Yao Jun. “Then, I will borrow it from you. Don’t worry, I will return it to you in the future.”

Yao Jun did not expect her to return it. After all, he had to let her stay in the hospital first. The money would not be paid at once. He would think about it after she went to the hospital for treatment.

He said, “Tomorrow, I will go with you and bring your mother to the hospital.”

Mu Qingxue bit her lips, she said awkwardly, “My mother doesn’t know that I have a boyfriend. Moreover, you know that I’m in my third year of high school. If my mother finds out that I have a boyfriend, she will beat me to death. Can you transfer the money directly to me? I’ll write an IOU for you. I swear that I’ll pay you back.”

Yao Jun’s mind was full of ideas.

If she wanted to borrow so much money, he wanted to report it to the higher-ups.

However, Mu Qingxue kept pestering him and he did not have the time to ask how he was going to deal with this matter.

In the end, after Mu Qingxue hinted several times that his mother’s illness could not be delayed, looking at her pitiful appearance, he transferred one million dollars to Mu Qingxue.

He asked her to bring her mother to the hospital for treatment.

After taking the money, Mu Qingxue accompanied Yao Jun for another day. The next day, she left and said that she was going to bring her mother to the hospital.

However, after that day, Mu Qingxue did not return to the apartment. He could not reach her through her phone. He went to investigate and found out that Mu Qingxue’s mother was not sick at all.

Yao Jun knew that he had fallen into a trap.

The training was specially tailored to a woman’s weakness and it was used for higher-level missions. It should be more than enough to deal with an ordinary woman. Moreover, the purpose of the mission was to make her give up on revenge. This was considered the simplest level of the mission.

In the end, not only did he fail, but he failed miserably.

Damn it.

When did Mu Qingxue find out?

She did not even bat an eyelid. Instead, she swindled him out of his money and left.

Yao Jun did not dare to hesitate and quickly reported this matter to He Cizhou.

Ye Qingran was called over by Chu Yan.

In the past, Ye Qingran had seen Yao Jun once. His looks were indeed not bad. He should have undergone plastic surgery and was a little mixed-race. That was why he dared to say that he was a European aristocrat.

However, she did not know his name.

She asked, “What’s your name?”

Yao Jun was very anxious and afraid. He did not expect things to turn out this way.

Mu Qingxue must have found out his true identity. She knew that everything about him was fake. Hence, even if he was deceived, he would not go to the police. He could only keep quiet.

He replied with his real name, “Xia Mingchao.”

Ye Qingran said, “She shouldn’t have found it out a long time ago. Tell me the time and place that you contacted He Cizhou in the past half a month, and everything that happened previously.”

Yao Jun nodded and quickly told Ye Qingran everything.

Ye Qingran understood immediately, “You’ve always been very careful. Every time you contacted him, Mu Qingxue wasn’t there either. The biggest possibility is that you called He Cizhou that night. Mu Qingxue probably woke up and heard about it. She followed you the next day.”

Yao Jun was filled with regret and guilt. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have called that number. I had thought about calling on the next day, but I didn’t know why I suddenly called that number.”

That night, he felt strange about himself. He had always been calm.

Why did he suddenly become so anxious to contact He Cizhou?

“You don’t know what’s going on. Why did you suddenly call me? What are you thinking about?”

He Cizhou cursed.

He felt that all his pride had been thrown into the sea.

Not only did he failed in helping out with such a small matter, she even reversed the situation and tricked him. The amount of money was not much, it was a small matter, but his pride was gone.

He Cizhou might have thought that this was Yao Jun’s excuse for shirking responsibility.

However, Ye Qingran trusted Yao Jun. Even if the halo on the female lead was weak, it was still there. When she realized that the female lead had completely deviated from the main storyline, she had to think of a way to turn the main storyline back.

She could not escape no matter how hard she tried.

She waved her hand. “Forget it, you can leave now.”

This mission was quite difficult.

Under the premise of not breaking the law, it would be much more difficult for this person to obtain some kind of business secret, incite a rebellion or seduce someone.

Changing the female protagonist’s consciousness was simply a hellish difficulty.

Yao Jun heaved a sigh of relief after being pardoned.

He Cizhou reprimanded him a few more times before letting him out.

Then, he said to Ye Qingran, “I’m sorry. It’s such a simple matter, but I failed you.”
