"CEO, I've just investigated the Young Madam's whereabouts, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary, and no one knows the Young Madam either." Secretary Lee asked fearfully on the other end of the phone.

There was no answer to this question.

Lin Muhan's hands that were knocking on the table suddenly stopped. It was obvious that this was different from what he had expected.

"Are you sure that they have all been questioned?" Lin Muhan could not help but ask again.

"I'm sure!" Secretary Lee replied with certainty.

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Muhan was even more confused. Mi Xue obviously looked like she had suffered a huge blow today, but Secretary Lee did not seem to have received any news at all.

Was it really because she came to the house today?

Frowning, he once again looked at the velvet box that he had thrown far away with his distinct black and white eyes, sinking into deep thought.

It was no wonder that Secretary Lee could not find any trace of his. Although the monitoring software would show where he went, it would not show how long he stayed for. In Secretary Lee's opinion, Minxue would not go to either of these places.

There were gardeners and real estate agents in the old house, and he had not heard of the CEO buying anything lately.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Muhan seemed to have thought everything through, as he stood up and returned to his room.

He opened the door and entered the room. He saw that Michelle had fallen asleep, so he moved more gently. He walked around the bed and stood by it, staring at the tiny face that was still frowning in his sleep.

His heart suddenly ached.

Unconsciously sitting down on the side of the bed, Lin Muhan couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth her brows.

In her dreams, Mi Xue seemed to feel a sense of dependence. Her brows relaxed and her expression calmed down a little.

Lin Muhan stood up, he was even more curious about why the little lady was suddenly so down, could it be that Meng Yuyan said something?

Thinking like this, his gaze turned obscure.

The next day, when Michelle woke up, the person on the bed beside her had already left.

She had originally planned to wait for him last night. Perhaps it was due to her excessive sadness, but she had unknowingly cried herself to sleep.

After getting up, Michelle changed her clothes. She first sent a message to Xu Yansheng, then told the old man that she was going to the hospital.

She turned off her phone and quickly left the room.

Last night, she thought about who Manager Xu would sell to, and maybe other intermediaries would have a way to find out.

Early in the morning, she went straight to the places where the real estate agents were packed. At first, she was filled with confidence that even if that person wanted to hide things from her, they would still be no match for her. However, she did not expect the results to disappoint her time after time.

The majority of the answers were the same as the Manager Xu. When she walked out of the last house, her heart sank to the bottom.

Their hopes had been completely shattered.

Only after leaving the intermediary did she turn on her phone, and purposely went to take a walk around the mall to buy some things. Of course, she couldn't avoid reporting to Xu Yansheng about the matter, so she returned back to her dwelling.

For the past few days, Michelle had been walking out of the house, and she had lost all her interest. She was no longer as energetic as she had been before.

Everyone in the house could see it clearly, but no one said a word.

When he returned home that day, the old man couldn't help but call out to her when he saw that she was depressed again.

"Snow, come with me." The old man walked in front, and Michelle followed him into the study.

"Grandfather, what's the matter?" Michelle asked in a low voice.

The old man's gaze turned sharp as he sized her up, "Xuexue, is there something on your mind?"

"No, no." Michelle shook her head and forced herself to smile. "Grandpa, why do you ask?"

"Child, what do you have to say to grandpa that you still can't say? These few days, when you go out in the morning, you always come back during dinner time. Furthermore, you always come back unhappily, so how can you be fine? " The old man looked at Michelle reproachfully.

This made Mi Xue feel embarrassed. Every day, when she came back, she would forcefully pull herself together. To her surprise, it was seen through.

"Grandfather, I'm really alright." Michelle insisted.

She naturally couldn't speak of the house, or else the old tutor would surely be in a hurry to get angry.

"Sigh, it's this old man that's useless. You youngsters all have your own little secret now." The old man sighed and said sorrowfully.

Mi Xue didn't expect the old tutor to do this. She couldn't bear to see it.

"Grandfather, maybe it's because I'm pregnant and feeling bored at home, so I wanted to go out and take a look. I didn't expect that I would still be unable to lift my spirits." Mi Xue immediately used this excuse. Afraid that the old man would be worried, she added, "That's why I had the Dr. Xu check it for me that day. There were no problems. They just told me to go out more normally."

Although the old tutor was still skeptical, he also guessed that the pregnant woman's temper was a bit odd and didn't say anything after hearing these words.

"Next time when you go out, ask Jianqian to accompany you." The old man said casually.

Michelle waved her hand. "No need, no need. I'm fine by myself, and I plan to go to work tomorrow."

"It's good to go to work." The old man said with a smile.

From his point of view, Lin Muhan and Mi Xue had a good relationship. Mi Xue was pregnant too, so he decided to let go of this matter.

Michelle let out a long sigh and returned to her grandfather's room.

Lin Muhan said that he wanted to work overtime, so she didn't have anything to do. However, Mi Xue couldn't sit still anymore.

These few days, she had been busy with her own matters. Every day when he left, she would wake up, and when he came back she was already asleep. Although they shared a bed, they hadn't seen each other for several days, so today she planned to wait for him to come back.

He went downstairs and cooked some dumplings. After eating, he went out to the garden to eat.

She had no purpose, so she walked slowly along the stone road with her head down, thinking about how she could find out more about the house.

Just as she was about to turn a corner, she heard someone talking.

Immediately stopping, he wanted to turn around, but he heard the man talking about Lin Muhan. He frowned and slowed down his pace.

"Don't let Lin Muhan know about this beforehand. He's not as easy to deal with as those idiots." A low and oppressive voice was heard. It was extremely familiar to Michelle, but she could not recall where she had heard it before.

He wanted to leave, but he also wanted to know who this person was.

Mi Xue looked at the dark courtyard. It was quite a distance away from the main house. Few people would come here during the day, let alone at night. What if …

She didn't continue to think about it, but Mi Xue already had the thought of fleeing.

He had barely moved a step when he happened to step on a dry branch. Although the sound was soft, it was obvious that the man from earlier had noticed the commotion. Mi Xue heard the sound of her footsteps and felt as if her entire heart was stuck in her throat.

Just as she turned to leave, she saw that person walking over and looking at her with great satisfaction. "Sister-in-law, what a coincidence."

"What a coincidence." Michelle tried to pretend she was calm.

He did not expect that the person who appeared here was Qu Yiming, in the past few days, she had not even seen him at home. She originally thought that he would leave after the banquet, but she did not expect that he was still here.

Moreover, what he had heard earlier was not as simple as it seemed.

Lin Muhan was right, he had to stay away from this person!

Although there was still a distance of two meters between the two of them, Michelle could feel the danger.

She knew very well that the person in front of her was a dangerous person, but she could not lose her momentum!

Even though he had retreated ten thousand steps, his feet did not move at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Qu, I didn't expect you to be in such a good mood, enjoying the scenery so late at night."

"Sister-in-law, aren't you the same!?" Qu Yiming never thought that Mi Xue didn't seem to be afraid of him, but was actually smiling and talking to him.

The image of that person fleeing in panic flashed through his mind, and the devilish smile on his lips deepened.

"I have just finished my supper and am about to take a stroll. I'm heading back now!" Mi Xue spoke softly, not mentioning what she had just heard.

Qu Yiming swept his gaze across her body without hesitation.

Qu Yiming raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, "The moonlight today is quite nice, sister-in-law, how about we chat a bit?"

"Unfortunately, I'm a bit sleepy." Michelle didn't want to be with this man. Every minute she stayed was terrifying.

It was just that sometimes, it wasn't that she didn't want to, but that others would listen to her wishes.

The Qu Yiming in front of him was obviously one of these people.

He walked over nonchalantly, but the truth was that he had already cut off Mi Xue's escape route. It seemed that he had no choice but to talk about it.

Michelle narrowed her eyes as she recorded everything that was happening around her. If anything happened, she could just run away.

Qu Yiming didn't seem to care about her at all, "Sister-in-law, why are you so nervous? How could a person without any status like me do anything to you?"

Even so, Michelle still felt that she should be careful.

Since she couldn't dodge it, and this person didn't seem to have any feelings for her, her vigilant heart was slightly at ease.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Michelle asked indifferently.

"I need to talk to you about how to leave Lin Muhan."

If he didn't sound the bell, then so be it! If he did, then it would shock the world!

Mi Xue was so frightened by his words that she immediately became alert.

Although he didn't know what Lin Muhan was talking about, it definitely wasn't a good thing when he thought about it. Otherwise, who would hide in this corner and make a phone call just now?

Now, he actually said his intentions without hesitation. Other than Gu Licheng, no one else knew about this matter, so how did he know!?

With this thought in mind, Michelle became even more worried.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so nervous. I just want to make a deal with you." Qu Yiming looked at Mi Xue, his eyes squinting slightly, as though he could see through her, but at the same time had the effect of bewitching people's hearts.

Michelle quickly looked away, her eyes filled with hesitation.

"Actually, there's still a way to get out of here!" Qu Yiming spoke as if he was not paying attention at all.
