C108

After waiting for no one to return, Mu Liancheng gradually lost his patience.

He had arranged for everyone in the Mu Family to go out and search for Gu Xiaoqi, but to no avail.

Then, he took out the surveillance footage from the park. From the surveillance footage, it could be seen that after Gu Xiaoqi left the house, she ran towards a black jeep.

As she ran, she waved in the direction of the car. It seemed like there was someone she knew in the car.

Gu Xiaoqi got on the car, and in a few minutes, the car had already left.

Mu Liancheng quickly ordered his men to check the license plate, but no matter how hard he searched, the license plate was actually fake.

The clues were immediately cut off.

Mu Liancheng tried his best to calm down and started to speculate about the people inside the carriage.

There were very few people Xiao Qi knew in Rong City, and even fewer close relationships.

Shen Waner, Ji Ruyu, Liu Qianyu, and — Xia Yichen.

The first person Mu Liancheng suspected was Xia Yichen, so he brought his people and went straight to the Xia Family.

At this time, most of the people in the Xia Family were already there. When Mu Liancheng rushed in, they were completely terrified.

"Ninth Master, you, what are you doing?" Elder Brother Xia, the manager of the Xia Family, ran out of the study in a panic.

"Where's Xia Yichen?" Mu Liancheng did not want to waste words, he was already standing on the edge of madness.

Boss Xia thought that Xia Yichen had somehow angered the devil of the Mu Family and wanted to advise him otherwise, "Ninth Master, Yi Wu Chen is still young and inexperienced, please don't bother with him!"

"Speak!" Mu Liancheng's face was filled with malice as he pinched Boss Xia's neck, lifting him up, "Where's Xia Yichen?"

"Ninth Master!"

"Ninth Master! "Don't be impulsive!"

The rest of them from the Xia Family immediately surrounded him. Even though they were normally eager for something to happen to Boss Xia and even had the chance to ascend to the stage themselves, when facing Mu Liancheng's challenge, they now stood united like never before.

Xia Family were also not something easy to deal with. Although their power could not compare to Mu Family, they would not allow anyone to run over to their house and do whatever they wanted.

In an instant, the living room was filled with tension.

Mu Liancheng pinched Boss Xia's neck, ready to take his life at any time.

The bodyguards from Xia Family and the people that Mu Liancheng brought confronted each other, all of them touching the bulging bags at their waists, waiting to take action.

Just as Mu Liancheng was unable to control his bloodthirsty impulses, Xia Yichen appeared.

He seemed to have just been roused, still in his pajamas.

"Mu Liancheng, what are you doing here?" Xia Yichen was truly worthy of being selected as the spokesperson by the direct line of descent, and was much calmer than the rest of the Xia Family.

Seeing Xia Yichen, Mu Liancheng finally let go. He turned around and followed his movements, turning towards Xia Yichen, "Where's Xiao Qi?"

Xia Yichen was startled at first, then smiled coldly as he hugged his shoulder: "Your girlfriend has disappeared, why did you come find me?"

What responded to Xia Yichen was a clear gunshot, and as the bullet flew past his ear, Mu Liancheng emphasized, "Where's Xiao Qi?"

After walking around the gates of hell, Xia Yichen's heart was tight. However, he would naturally not admit to something he had never done before, "I said, I don't know!"

Mu Liancheng raised his arm again, and aimed the gun at Xia Yichen's head.

As long as he slightly moved his finger, Xia Yichen would definitely lose his life.

The two of them looked at each other for a minute, then Mu Liancheng put his hands down and walked towards Xia Yichen step by step.

One meter, two meters, three meters …

As the distance between them got closer, the pressure from the man became even more intense.

All the people who were originally standing behind Xia Yichen couldn't help but take two steps back. Only Xia Yichen still stood at his original position without moving an inch.

"Mu …"

Bang!

Before Xia Yichen could even finish his second word, he was already knocked unconscious by a single swing of Mu Liancheng's hand. He didn't even have time to react.

The moment he fell, Xia Yichen's mind was filled with thoughts — I have learnt the [Free Combat] technique for over ten years, I'm afraid that I have not fed it to a dog.

After defeating Xia Yichen in front of everyone with Xia Family, he dragged his people and swaggered out of the Xia Family.

In his fury, Mu Liancheng didn't care about the reason why he had slapped Xia Family's face until it swelled up. This caused the other families to be wary, and they all started to guess whether the Mu Family was planning something big or was finally going to make a move on the Rong City's family.

A few families who were close to each other even called a secret meeting at the first moment and set up an alliance to defend and attack. If anything went wrong with their Mu Family, they would join hands to resist.

However, the Mu Family did not give him the chance to do so.

After Mu Liancheng kidnapped Xia Yichen, Zhou Minghan gave Xia Family a project which everyone was jealous of, and also hinted that had done something wrong by irritating the Ninth Master Mu, and it had nothing to do with anyone else, so the Ninth Master would not vent his anger on innocent people.

At this point, everyone felt relieved.

Some of the smaller families were even thinking darkly: How come their own family didn't have a prodigal son dying to touch the tiger's whiskers? Maybe they would be able to get a good project in exchange for that.

Of course, they only dared to think about it and not actually do it.

As for Mu Liancheng, he brought Xia Yichen back to the Mu Family and locked him up.

He knew in his heart that this matter was very likely to have nothing to do with Xia Yichen, but if he didn't do something soon, he would be driven mad.

The news from all directions continuously spread to Mu Liancheng's ears. Some people said that they saw Xiao Qi's figure at the outskirts of the city, but he brought people to find out that he was an ordinary person who looked a little similar to Xiao Qi.

Some people said that Gu Xiaoqi's name was found at the train station, but in the end, she was just a passerby who shared the same name and surname.

Some people even said that Gu Xiaoqi's figure was found within the Gu family.

Once again, Mu Liancheng arrived at the Gu household without knowing exhaustion. He left hopefully, then left disappointed.

This kind of search, which covered the entire sky and the earth, alarmed the entire Rong City.

Everyone who was related knew that the heart of the Ninth Master in the Mu Family had been lost.

Everyone began to move. Some wanted to find someone to fawn over Mu Family, some wanted to take the opportunity to fish for some benefits, but there were also people who wanted Gu Xiaoqi to never be able to return.

For example — Gu Jiabao.

When she heard from Mu Lianyu that Gu Xiaoqi had gone missing, she almost jumped out of joy.

Whether this was retribution or not, that bitch who always went along with the flow had finally disappeared. He really hoped that she would die outside just like that.

Gu Jiabao thought in her heart, but she still revealed a worried expression on her face. "What should I do? Qi Qi is so beautiful, just in case, just in case …"

She did not finish her words, but how could Mu Lianyu not understand the meaning behind them?

After coldly glaring at Gu Jiabao, Mu Lianyu warned him sinisterly: "Gu Jiabao, stop with those dirty thoughts of yours, sister-in-law will definitely be fine."

The current Mu Lianyu no longer had the slightest trace of his usual gentleness.

"Lian Yu, I, I …" Gu Jiabao opened his mouth to explain, but in the end he could only reply with tears, "I understand."

"That's more like it." The sinister look on Mu Lianyu's face immediately turned gentle, he dotingly kissed Gu Jiabao on the forehead and then pulled her into his embrace.

Gu Jiabao touched her stomach, and could not help but shiver.

Since the day she met Mu Lianyu, she knew that he wasn't as obedient as he looked on the surface. But in this world, who would dare say that they didn't live in a mask?

Therefore, as long as he had the talent and money, it was enough for him to have a sliver of sincerity towards her.

In any case, they were just exchanging benefits in the name of love.

However, as a woman, how could she not have expectations for her future partner, and for her child's father?

During this period of time, she had relied on her pregnancy as a test to come up with a lot of unreasonable requests.

For example, if one wanted to eat the Soup Dumplings that was over ten kilometers away in the middle of the night, they would have to tear up ninety-nine French roses a day.

No matter how hard she tried, Mu Lianyu always pampered her like a perfect lover and spoiled her. This gave Gu Jiabao the illusion that she loved her dearly.

Until that day, when she accidentally brought up Mu Liancheng, and then said a few unpleasant words.

Mu Lianyu who was still rubbing her leg immediately erupted, he grabbed her neck, he was sinister and fierce, as though he was going to kill someone in the next second.

Although he apologized afterwards and bought a limited edition luxurious car as compensation, Gu Jiabao's heart still left a shadow behind.

After that, she didn't dare to bring up anything related to Mu Liancheng again.

Now, even Gu Xiaoqi was included.

However, Gu Jiabao was not a person who would stay still. After Mu Lianyu left, she immediately logged onto Weibo and sent a message: "Qi Qi, come back quickly. We are all worried about you."

Ever since Gu Jiabao became pregnant, she rarely showed her face anymore, but the number of her fans were all over the place.

After the Weibo was posted, many people forwarded it, commenting on it and paying attention to Gu Xiaoqi's situation.

Originally, they were only doing this in secret, because Gu Jiabao's "kindness" was completely exposed to the public.

Gu Xiaoqi's fans were even more worried, there were even people who reported him to the police without any way to confirm anything.

The people had disappeared, and he was a former celebrity who had once received the honor of being a movie queen. The attention of the citizens was immediately piqued.

But to Mu Liancheng, this was not a good thing.

Because, to be able to avoid his power and capture Gu Xiaoqi, he was definitely not an ordinary person.

If the other party was seeking money, then such a grand recruitment might anger the other party, just in case he hurt Xiao Qi …

Mu Liancheng did not dare to think further.

Days passed, but there was still no news of Gu Xiaoqi.

Gradually, many people gave up searching, except for Mu Liancheng.

The current Mu Liancheng was no longer as carefree as he was before. He had not shaved for many days and his hair was messy. He was in an extremely nervous state.

Every day, after Mu Liancheng finished handling the documents that he had no choice but to sign, he would fill up the entire place to find Gu Xiaoqi. He did not care about eating nor sleeping, and his weight had even plummeted.

In the end, even Shen Nan and the others could not bear to watch any longer, and blocked off the entrance of the office, bitterly exhorting.

Jiayuanhao even wanted to kneel down and beg him.

However, Mu Liancheng merely glanced at Jiayuanhao, and said indifferently and estranged from him, "I see you as my brother, so I won't kill you. In the future, don't appear in front of me again."

Jiayuanhao's legs went soft, and he almost couldn't stand anymore.
