I tried to calm myself, but my face was still trembling with emotion.

I looked at the wounds on her face, each line like an abyss, and I could see everything in the other world.

She raised her eyebrows in disdain.

I looked at it with unflinching eyes.

"Then what about you? You escaped with your life only to come back and seek revenge on that demon you spoke of. You're not playing with fire, you're courting death."

After she finished speaking, her shrill and unbridled laughter resounded in her ears.

"Interesting, interesting! Lu Weian, I want you to see how I can slowly reveal the true face of that old cunning fox. "

There was nothing in her eyes but hatred and madness. She stared straight ahead, as if there was someone there, someone she had hated for half her life.

"Mr. Mou, this is what you taught me. To let a person live, to live in pain beyond hope is the best punishment."

After saying that, she laughed maniacally again.

"What a madman."

She probably didn't hear me. The car drove on for a while and stopped at an old address on the outskirts of the city.

This was a place that had been abandoned by the Mu City for many years, and was also a land that the real estate developers had been eyeing for a long time but never had the chance to take action on.

I looked out of the window and saw that the plaque at the entrance to the yard was half gone, tattered and dusty.

The words were blurred in the dust, but they were still recognizable.

The words "Jing'an Garden" were engraved on it.

I supported myself as I limped out of the car with Lin Shupei. I couldn't help but exclaim, "So the legendary Jing'an Garden is here."

She raised her eyebrows and turned to look at me. "Why, have you heard of this place?"

I ignored her. There was nothing to hold on to, so I could only hop on one leg and head straight into the yard.

When the Owner was here, he treated this place as a resting area. Because this place was far away from the city, it was quiet enough. After the Old Owner died, no one dared to move this place.

It seemed like he hadn't been here for a long time, but he was now in such a desolate state.

I sat down on a stone bench in the yard, next to a thick branch that would serve as my walking stick.

Lin Shupei walked in and looked down at me.

"Your sister is in this yard. If you can find her, go find her."

I was startled.

"Jing Yu is here?!"

She tilted her head and looked at me with interest.

I stood up against the branch and limped around the yard. There was more than one square in front of me, a gate facing the main hall, a side room on the left, a side room on the right.

I looked over my shoulder. There was no longer a complete house, only a dark wreckage.

The branches of the surrounding trees were also pitch black, as if they had been burned by a great fire.

My heart tightened.

It was burned. In the story that Shen Xiuyuan told me … Lin Shupei... She was burned alive.

Could it be...

"You guessed right."

I didn't know when she stood behind me, but I was startled by her sudden voice. Before I could even clench my hand, I dropped the branch on the ground.

"Back then, Lin Shupei died here." As she spoke, she bent down and picked up a branch from the ground.

"Lu Weian, what you will see, is far more than just this."

The moment those words were spoken, I felt a sharp pain in my head. The next second, I fainted and lost consciousness.

One swing of the rod broke my leg, and one swing knocked my person unconscious. Lin Shupei, what exactly do you want?

When I woke up again, I was locked in a dark closet with a crack in the door.

Looking through the crack, I saw Lu Jingyu sitting in the house!

It was an old-fashioned room, with a round, sandalwood stool in the middle of the room. Behind it was a large picture, something I couldn't see clearly.

She looked normal, with no signs of illness.

Sitting alone in a quiet room with paper and pen on the table, she wrote and painted just as she usually did.

I tried to struggle free, but my hands and feet were tied and my mouth was blocked. I couldn't make a sound or move.

Not long after, I heard the door open and looked in the direction of the sound. It was Lin Shupei. She looked at Lu Jingyu who was seated on the table and asked her with a gentle voice.

"Jing Yu, are you hungry?"

Jing Yu was not afraid either, raising her head, she nodded.

"I want noodles."

As I looked at all these, the doubt in my heart grew. Why did Jing Yu know her? Why was Jing Yu not afraid of such a terrifying face?

Just as he was wondering in his heart, he heard Lin Shupei continue to speak. "There's someone that wants to see you, when she sees you, we'll be eating, okay?"

Lu Jingyu nodded obediently.

The footsteps were so light that if one wasn't listening intently, it would be hard to tell that someone was coming. The wind was blowing.

Only the Mr. Mou's footsteps made this sound.

Sure enough, I saw Mu Huainan wearing a long Wind Robe here. He wore a mask, and there was even a cold spring breeze blowing on his body.

Lu Jingyu raised her head and looked over, and was slightly startled. When Mu Huainan slowly took off his mask, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, frantically grabbing the pen and paper on the table into her arms, she stood up and staggered backwards, as though she was extremely afraid.

She kept backing up until her body hit the outside of the cabinet that was holding me, causing the cabinet to shake from the impact.

She seemed to be mumbling something. I tried hard to listen, but found that Mu Huainan was also approaching step by step.

I unconsciously tightened my body and leaned back. Even though I was inside the cabinet, I still wanted to keep a certain distance from him, because I knew that he was a Mr. Mou and his sense of hearing was always on the alert. I was too close to him for fear that he would hear my breathing and my heartbeat.

He clearly wanted him to find me and rescue me. I don't know why, but after seeing Jing Yu's reaction, I urgently needed to know the truth behind all of this.

So I can't let him find me.

He walked towards Jing Yu with a secretive look. He did not show any mercy.

He called out to her, "Jing Yu, I'll bring you back."

Jing Yu's entire body was trembling. After a long while, she finally managed to react and shook her head, trembling as she slowly slid down to the ground.

"No …" "I don't want to …"

I watched it all from the cupboard, my heart trembling uncontrollably.

[What the hell is going on?]

Before he could react, Lu Jingyu trembled as she opened her mouth again.

"I'm sorry … I'm sorry, Mr. Mou … I'm sorry, I was wrong. I am Lu Jingyu … I am Lu Jingyu … Not Lu Weian … I'm sorry, Mr. Mou … I was wrong. "I was really wrong..."

From start to finish, Mu Huainan had been looking at her coldly, watching her go crazy, watching her collapse, watching her cry and make a ruckus.

My heart hurts so much that I can't stand it anymore, but he can just stand there and watch coldly, not moving at all.

Lu Jingyu suddenly stood up and pushed Mu Huainan away with all his might. He stumbled out of the room, but it was too late for Lin Shupei to react.

Lin Shupei rushed out to chase after Jing Yu. She was a patient after all. Mu Huainan was the only one left in the room, along with me who was trapped in the cupboard.

I looked at him, and in the quiet room, I strolled over to the table and made myself a cup of tea. I picked it up and sniffed it, probably because I didn't like the smell of the tea, and then I frowned and put it down again.

He was sitting directly in front of me, and through the slit in the cabinet, he could see a square figure.

That man was sitting there with a faint trace of ruthlessness in his calm eyes. He suddenly looked over and I subconsciously closed my eyes. My back felt cold and I sank into darkness.

I didn't know what it was, but I heard the sound of something shattering and falling.

Is this Mu Huainan, who pampered me to the heavens and was extremely obedient to me, really the same person?

Steady and cautious, the sin of eternal life, but in the body of such a man, he easily controlled my love and hate, life and death.

I only found out now.

Not long after, Lin Shupei came in with Jing Yu. She couldn't help but tremble and hold on to Lin Shupei's arm, unwilling to let go.

Mu Huainan didn't get up, but calmly looked in Lu Jingyu's direction.

With just a glance, Lu Jingyu, who had calmed down a little with great difficulty, lost his composure once more. With a "putong" sound, he kneeled in front of Mu Huainan, almost without stopping.

"Jing Yu!"

Lin Shupei wanted to pull her up, but it was as if he had been possessed. The voices outside could not be heard at all, and he stubbornly crawled to Mu Huainan's feet, pulling at his trouser leg. He was shaking non-stop, begging nonstop.

"Mr. Mou is begging you, please let me go, I'm wrong …" I am Lu Jingyu, I am not Lu Weian. Mr. Mou begs you, please let me go … "Sorry, I was wrong..."

She repeated the same line over and over again.

"I am not Lu Weian, I am Lu Jingyu."

What did that mean?

Lu Jingyu kneeled on the ground and begged non-stop, but Mu Huainan did not even look at her, allowing her to lean at his feet, speaking with a hoarse voice.

The more she cried, the more desperate she became. The more she cried, the more crazy she became.

In the end, he simply cried until he stopped breathing. Then, he straightened his body, widened his eyes, and fainted.

The room suddenly quieted down. Just like how Jing Yu suddenly went crazy, it suddenly exploded and went out soundlessly.

Mu Huainan was still unmoved, as if the ruckus just now made him a little uncomfortable, he rubbed his glabella.

Lin Shupei helped Jing Yu up and placed her on the bed so she could sleep.

He stood by Mu Huainan's side and told him: "It's not that I don't want to hand Jing Yu over to you, but if you see her, she wouldn't even be willing to follow you back."

Mu Huainan could not help but laugh helplessly.

"I have raised Jing Yu for so many years, found the best doctor to treat her, and found the best nursing home for her to stay in. In the end, all she remembered was those years ago." After saying that, he suddenly looked up sharply, stared fixedly at Lin Shupei for a moment, and finally uttered a single word in a light voice: "And you."

The lightness of the Mr. Mou was the most merciless and helpless way to deal with it.

Under his gaze, Lin Shupei could not help but retreat two steps, secretly clenching his fists tightly, to calm himself down.

She wanted revenge, but she was still afraid when she saw him.

After a long moment, she glared at his face.

"You better not force Jing Yu to go back. If you force her into a corner and make her fall ill and die here, your peace and safety might not forgive you for the rest of your life."

Mu Huainan frowned, as if he had thought of something troubling him, and sighed with melancholy.

"If not for peace, Lu Jingyu would not have been able to live until now."

Just this sentence, let me from the cold to the feet.
