Soft light spilled into every corner of the study room.

In the high-end swivel chair behind the desk, MO Xiuchen’s tall figure leaned back, a cigarette pinched between his long middle finger and index finger. The curling smoke added a layer of haziness to his exquisitely handsome features.

His deep-set eyes were fixed on the cell phone on the desk.

Two minutes later, the phone began vibrating with a melodious ring, echoing in the quiet study. He snuffed out the cigarette in an ashtray nearby, then he picked up the phone quite unhurriedly, his long finger pressed the answer button, “Hello!”

“Xiuchen, you were looking for me?”

On the other end of the phone, there was some noise, Qin Mu was probably in a bar or someplace like that.

MO Xiuchen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he asked deeply, “Earlier, I asked you to investigate Wen Ran. Have you found out everything?” “Ah, I did. Is anything wrong?

The sound of Qin Mu’s voice came with a touch of confusion. A glint of intensity flickered in MO Xiuchen’s eyes as he said lightly, “Wen Ran just told me that when she was six years old, she also had an illness, and she lost her previous memories. This detail wasn’t in the investigation report you gave me earlier.

“What a coincidence, just like Cheng Jia. They both got sick at six and lost their memories. She wouldn’t happen to be your lifesaver as well, would she? She doesn’t have a mole on her chin, though.”

Qin Mu knew that MO Xiuchen had particular feelings for Wen Ran. Even if there hadn’t been an incident at the Wen family, even if MO Zixuan hadn’t slept with other women, even if Wen Ran didn’t have to marry him for the sake of the company, he would have taken her away from MO Zixuan.

MO Xiuchen frowned in annoyance. He wished Wen Ran had a mole on her chin, he wished she was that little girl who saved his life back then. But how could he find out when she doesn’t remember anything before she was six? Her parents had both died in that car accident. It was unknown when Wen Jin would wake up.

“You look into it again. I need to know what happened before Wen Ran turned six. If I remember correctly, Wen Hongrui was not originally from G City, he moved to G city sixteen years ago. That year, as it turns out, was when Wen

Ran was six.”

“Xiuchen, you can’t really think Wen Ran is the girl from back then, can you?

And what about Cheng Jia?”

Qin Mu couldn’t help reminding him. Although MO Xiuchen’s instincts were usually accurate, this idea was too far-fetched.

“Even if she’s not, investigating those things might help find the killer who eliminated Wen Hongrui and his wife.”

MO Xiuchen said coldly. Wen Hongrui had a reputation for honesty and credibility in the business world, but someone intended to eradicate his whole family…

Now that he had married Wen Ran, it was his responsibility to find out who killed her parents. Moreover, the assassin didn’t just aim at Wen Hongrui and his wife, but also Wen Jin and Wen Ran.

“Okay, I will continue the investigation.”

On the other end of the phone, Qin Mu agreed readily. The noise from earlier was gone, replaced by faint footsteps, suggesting that he had left the bar.

“Mm, if you’re free this weekend, you could take a trip to Wen Hongrui’s hometown. You might just uncover some clues.”

After a thought, MO Xiuchen added a reminder. Qin Mu had just arrived at the parking lot when he heard him, he frowned in displeasure, internally complaining, but still answered ‘okay’. For the sake of a friend, he had to cancel his date.

Ignoring the slight unwilling sound in his ‘okay’, the corner of MO Xiuchen’s mouth curled up in satisfaction. Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening outside, he gave Qin Mu one more reminder before hanging up..
