Chapter 349 Voluntary Departure
In her haste, Mu Xuan's mind went blank, and it wasn't until she saw Yan Ye's increasingly cold expression that she realized she had said the wrong thing.
She could say she didn't work with Lu Tingyun, but she shouldn't say she didn't know Lu Tingyun. Yan Ye taking her phone clearly meant he already knew she had Lu Tingyun's contact information.
"No, it's not what you think, Ye. I... I didn't take Yi Rou with me, I didn't..."
Mu Xuan no longer knew how to explain.
Why did things become like this?
It's clearly none of her business.
How could it become like this?
Yan Ye glared at her coldly: "I'll ask you one more time, where is Yi Rou?"
"I..." Mu Xuan didn't even dare to say she didn't know. She just tightly protected her neck and looked at Yan Ye with tears streaming down her face.
"Acheng, throw her into the sea." Yan Ye withdrew his gaze, his voice icy cold.
"No, Acheng, no, Acheng, don't listen to him, don't throw me into the sea."
Mu Xuan lowered her hands from around her neck, grabbed A-Cheng's arm tightly, and begged him not to throw her into the sea.
Judging from Yan Ye's expression, he really intended to throw Mu Xuan into the sea this time. A-Cheng panicked a little. Yan Ye's behavior towards Mu Xuan was not in their plans, nor did they expect it.
"Young Master, this is not a good idea. No matter what, she is a member of the Mu family and Old Master Mu's darling. Why not send her back to M City and let Old Master Mu deal with her? That way, we won't offend the Mu family."
"Am I afraid of offending the Mu family?" Yan Ye asked coldly.
"..." Acheng was speechless.
"Night, I know I was wrong. I promise I'll never ruin your relationship with Yirou again. Please let me go. My grandfather is waiting for me to come home. He's old. Please let me go. Don't make him sad. Waaah..."
Mu Xuan burst into tears because she was terrified. She was terrified that Yan Ye would throw her into the sea to feed the fish. She knew he was capable of doing it.
She didn't want to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish, she didn't want to...
She now wishes she could sprout wings and fly back to M City.
"Let you go? Only if you reveal Yi Rou's whereabouts."
"I don't know, I really don't know, sob sob..." She really didn't know, so why wouldn't they believe her?
Who exactly is harming her?
who is it?
Yue Yirou refused to leave Yan Ye no matter what, so it must not be her. It must be Lu Tingyun. It must be Lu Tingyun who took Yue Yirou away and then framed her.
Lu Tingyun, I hate you!
"Acheng, what are you standing there for? Throw her into the sea."
Yan Ye suddenly roared at A Cheng, who hesitated, looking extremely conflicted.
Just as Acheng decided to tell the truth to save Mu Xuan's life, Yan Ye's phone suddenly rang.
Yan Ye hurriedly took out his phone and saw that it was Grandpa Mu calling. He frowned and hesitated for a few seconds before going outside to answer the call.
"Xiao Ye, is Xuanxuan behaving herself? You've had a tough time these past few months."
"No, it's not hard at all, Grandpa Mu. How have you been feeling lately?"
"It's all good. I just miss Xuanxuan a little. When are you going to send her back?"
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Yan Ye kicked the corridor wall several times.
Mu Xuan wasn't thrown into the sea to feed the fish, but she wasn't sent back to M City either; instead, she was imprisoned.
In the days that followed, Yan Ye dealt with Hei Feng while sending people to search for Yue Yirou's whereabouts.
"Young Master, there is no news of the Young Madam."
Acheng had to repeat this sentence to Yan Ye countless times every day.
His response was a roaring question from Yan Ye.
"Why haven't you found one yet? You can't even find a woman. What are you all good for? I've been supporting you for nothing. Get out..."
Yan Ye's voice was so powerful that later, when A-Cheng reported news to Yan Ye, he had to secretly put on earplugs.
"Ah Cheng..."
Zhang Qier felt very sorry for Acheng. Because of her poor protection, Yan Ye still disliked her and Xue Tao and wouldn't let them join the search for Yue Yirou. Therefore, Acheng was the only one who reported the news to him, and it was always Acheng who got scolded.
"Acheng, you've worked so hard." Xue Tao, who was kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on, also felt sorry for Acheng.
"Uncle Xue, I'm fine." Acheng comforted Xue Tao somewhat guiltily. He could tell that Xue Tao was very upset, for him, for Yan Ye, for Yue Yirou, and also felt guilty, deeply guilty.
Seeing Xue Tao's advanced age and his constant sighing and worry, A-Cheng and Zhang Qi'er decided to tell him the truth after discussing it.
That night, Acheng and Zhang Qier knocked on Xue Tao's door.
"Acheng, Qi'er, it's so late, why are you here to see me? Is there any news about the young mistress?"
Xue Tao became very excited at the thought that Yue Yirou might have been found.
"Uncle Xue, let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."
As Acheng and Zhang Qier talked, they gently nudged a bewildered Xue Tao and entered his room, locking the door behind them.
"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
"Uncle Xue, please sit down first."
The two men helped Xue Tao to a chair, exchanged glances, and then knelt down in front of him.
"Acheng, Qi'er, what's wrong with you? Get up quickly."
"Uncle Xue, we're hiding something from you. It's very serious."
Xue Tao wanted to help them up, but after hearing what A-Cheng said, he stopped and slowly withdrew his hand.
Seeing Acheng and Zhang Qier like this, he vaguely guessed what was going on.
"Tell me, have you found the young mistress's whereabouts?"
After a few seconds of silence, Acheng and Zhang Qier nodded in unison.
"Where is the young mistress? Is she alright?" Xue Tao asked excitedly.
Ah Cheng said, "The young mistress is in Singapore now. She's fine, so there's no need to worry."
"I'll go tell the young master the good news." Xue Tao said, getting up to go find Yan Ye.
"We mustn't tell the young master."
Acheng and Zhang Qier quickly held Xue Tao down.
"Why?" Xue Tao asked, puzzled.
Acheng and Zhang Qier hung their heads, staring at Xue Tao's feet: "Because, uh, because..."
"Why is that?" Xue Tao was extremely anxious.
“Because Yi Rou left voluntarily,” Zhang Qi’er suddenly said, raising her eyes.
Did they leave voluntarily?
Xue Tao's anxious mood cooled down immediately, but he frowned.
"We helped the young mistress leave in order to protect the child in her womb, which is the young master's flesh and blood."
"The 'Mu Xuan' that day was actually the young mistress in disguise. I knocked the real Mu Xuan unconscious and put her in a suitcase."
……
Acheng and Zhang Qier each told Xue Tao the truth in detail.
Upon hearing this, Xue Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Uncle Xue, you absolutely mustn't let the young master know about this, or we won't be able to save his life," A-Cheng said solemnly.
Xue Tao nodded: "Don't worry, I won't betray you."
"Uncle Xue, this isn't about betraying us."
Zhang Qier got anxious. Was this the important point?
They weren't afraid of him betraying them; what they feared was that Yan Ye would find out, and that they wouldn't be able to save Xiao Xiao Ye or Xiao Xiao Rou's lives.
