Did you forget what I said?
In the Gu Group's general manager's office.
Gu Licheng sat in front of his desk. On his computer screen, there was only an open document, the huge title was very eye-catching — Plan to Deal with Lin Muhan.
To set up this plan, he had his people investigate Lin Muhan and the Lin's Group for a very long time.
"Mi Xue, you and Lin Muhan seem to be very good?"
"Yes, we are doing very well!"
In his mind, he recalled her answer to his classmate's reunion. He held the mouse in his hand and closed the document. Then, he paused on the name and pressed on the right button. However, he was unable to press the delete button no matter how hard he tried.
It was as if he could just press the button and he and Michelle would part ways forever.
Time seemed to stop as Gu Licheng maintained this inherent posture without changing in the slightest.
The phone on the table suddenly rang, the "weng weng" sound made people even more frustrated, Gu Licheng put down his mouse and picked up the phone.
"Lin Muhan?"
Seeing the name on the screen, he couldn't help but shout out.
Why would he call him at this hour? In Gu Licheng's opinion, he and Lin Muhan had never fought.
He immediately cut off the call and shifted his gaze to the document. In just a moment, his phone rang again. He picked it up and looked at it angrily. He had completely ignored his hesitation just now.
"Michelle is gone!"
The message had been sent by Lin Muhan, but the five simple words had touched Gu Licheng's heart.
He quickly took out his phone and dialed. "How did you take care of her? Why did she suddenly disappear?"
"I'm at the mouth of Yang Shan Road." Lin Muhan's voice came out.
Without even giving him the chance to react, the call already ended. Gu Licheng almost wanted to throw the phone in his hand, but the last bit of reason he had told him that looking for Mi Xue now was the most important thing.
"Yangshan Road!" he repeated, grabbing the car keys from the table and rushing out.
The car was like an arrow that had been released from a bow, it quickly drove out of the Gu Group's car park, and travelled through the streets of the city. Its speed was so fast that the pedestrians on the roadside couldn't help but scold it, but Gu Licheng wished he could hurry up and speed it up …
At the entrance of Yang Shan Road, Lin Muhan was sitting on pins and needles.
Originally, he did not plan to tell Gu Licheng about this matter, but at this moment, he could only force himself to beg Gu Licheng, feeling furious!
He could not help but take out his phone, "Secretary Lee, count out your Madam's preferences, the places she usually goes to, I want to see the results tonight!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Muhan felt that his heart was slightly more balanced.
Du du du!
Lin Muhan rolled down the window and saw that Gu Licheng's car was parked not far away. He made a driving posture, but Gu Licheng didn't have any intention to start up. Instead, he pointed to his own car.
Lin Muhan turned his head, a trace of flames flashed past his eyes, but he still managed to endure it in the end.
He quickly got off the car, walked to the side of Gu Licheng's car and opened the door to the passenger seat, then sat down unwillingly.
"What happened?" Gu Licheng turned and asked.
"Family matters." Lin Muhan did not even glance at him.
These two simple words caused Gu Licheng's heart to slightly ache, but he was still unable to let go of it in the end.
Perhaps, he had never put it down before.
Looking at Lin Muhan's clearly defined face, and thinking that he must have sat down again for something that made Mi Xue heartbroken, the anger in the bottom of his heart seemed to have been doused with oil, and continuously flared up.
Bang!
He swung his fist at Lin Muhan's face, who was beside him, like a leopard ready to strike.
This fist was approaching in full fury, and coupled with the small amount of space in the carriage, it made it impossible for Lin Muhan to dodge.
"I've said it before, if you dare bully Michelle, I won't let you off!" Gu Licheng said coldly.
Lin Muhan wiped the blood trail from the corner of his mouth. That scarlet light made his amber eyes flash with a hint of anger. Just as Gu Licheng was about to wave his fist again, he extended his hand and grabbed onto it.
"Just because I can let you give it a try doesn't mean that there will be a second time!" Lin Muhan looked coldly at Gu Licheng, and the aura in his eyes stunned him for a moment.
"Lin Muhan!" Gu Licheng roared in frustration.
"If Mr. Gu doesn't know where my wife is, then don't waste your time!" The light in Lin Muhan's eyes returned to its serenity once again.
It was obviously his fault, but at this moment, Gu Licheng felt that it was a wrong decision.
In front of this man, he had never received any benefits!
He slammed the steering wheel and started the engine quickly.
The bottom of Lin Muhan's heart felt as though it was filled with lead as he coldly gazed outside the window. The resolution in his heart was that if there wasn't a next time, he definitely wouldn't let Mi Xue encounter such a situation.
He turned his head, looked at Gu Licheng's furious expression, and could not help but add on. He would definitely not give this man, who was eyeing him covetously, an opportunity!
The car was like a cheetah, streaking through the streets of the city and disappearing into the sea of cars.

In the cemetery, Michelle leaned against the tombstone in her usual posture, her eyes filled with confusion and unspeakable sorrow.
She just sat there quietly, her thin and weak body one with the tombstone.
It was as if he knew her mood. Today, the sun had not come out, and the wind blew past her, giving her a desolate appearance.
"Mom, I seem to have done something wrong again."
After a long silence, Mi Xue finally whispered as if she was recounting her own thoughts. "I know it's impossible between us, but even though I've already made up my mind to leave, I still hurt myself again and again. Mom, do you think I'm stupid?"
The wind had messed up her hair.
It also blocked the sparkling teardrop, until it slid down his cheek without a sound.
"Mom, why did you and Dad leave so quickly? What do I do now? " Michelle turned her head and stared blankly at the two amiable photos that were still smiling at her. She stretched out her hand and gently touched them, as if they were right beside her.
"The happiness I want is just the same as Daddy's, simple and simple. But why is it so hard? "Now, even if you want to leave, it's already a dream. Mom, get up. Tell me, what do I need to do?"
In the gloomy and lonely cemetery, only Michelle's voice was filled with sorrow and despair.
Tears rolled down his face like beads with broken strings.
However, in the end, he was still unable to wake up those people that had long slept.
Michelle was tired. She leaned against the tombstone and cried like a child.
Tap, tap, tap …
The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard, but Mi Xue didn't seem to care at all. She was immersed in her own sad world until she felt the footsteps stop right in front of her. A shadow shrouded her body.
Lifting his head slightly, he saw a trace of an evil face.
Qu Yiming held a beautifully wrapped bunch of chrysanthemums, and looked down at Mi Xue with a smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" Michelle looked at the man before her warily.
Qu Yiming slightly raised his lips, "Miss Mi, do you still remember what I told you before?"
For a moment, Michelle was lost in her thoughts. She even felt that the voice was bewitching, as if it was filled with venom, like a poppy.
What did he say?
"Looks like Miss Mi has forgotten. Let me remind you." Qu Yiming's somewhat charming voice sounded out once more, "If you want to leave Lin Muhan, you might as well look for me."
Leave …
Mi Xue was at a loss for a moment. At this moment, she did have this thought in her mind. Leaving Lin Muhan, the source of her sadness.
But this man in front of him …
After a while, she calmed down.
However, she had fallen into another pit from Lin Muhan.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I don't have those thoughts right now." Mi Xue raised her head and looked at Qu Yiming. Perhaps because she had been sitting on the ground for too long, she suddenly felt that her vision was blurred.
"Miss Mi, are you really planning to stay by his side? Even to become a chess piece that only has the function of passing down sect to family? " His voice was light and soft.
Mi Xue, on the other hand, seemed to have heard an earth-shattering secret as her entire person shuddered.
About that, only Xu Meiyu and Meng Yuyan knew about it, how would he know? A trace of disbelief flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
"Mr. Qu, you don't have to worry about our family matters. I just want to stay with my parents for a while. Please don't disturb me again!" Michelle tried her best to remain calm, but a slight tremor in her voice betrayed her.
Qu Yiming did not have the intention to leave, but continued to speak, "Miss Mi, why not listen to my thoughts."
Although it was a tone of discussion, it didn't have the slightest intention of being discussed.
Without waiting for Mi Xue to reply, Qu Yiming immediately added, "Lin Muhan and Meng Yuyan are childhood friends, and for Meng Yuyan's sake, Lin Muhan is willing to do anything. It's even to the point that she doesn't care about your safety at all, and just rushed over to take care of her.
"Enough!" Mi Xue cut him off, and the light in her eyes became clear. "Qu Yiming, you think he has some ulterior motive towards me. What about you?"
These words were a little unexpected to Qu Yiming, and he laughed after a while, "I naturally have my own reasons."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If I really want to leave, there's no need for Mister Qu to worry about me." There was determination in Michelle's voice.
"What I want, is perhaps what Miss Mi wants to give me." Qu Yiming's low and somewhat bewitching voice came over.
Michelle was not moved.
After so much, she was no longer that simple girl.
Right now, she was covered in scars and had a thorough understanding of human nature, "Mr. Qu, thank you for visiting my parents. Please leave."
Qu Yiming didn't say anything, and only put down the flower in his hand.
He gave a deep glance at Mi Xue, but the smile on his face still remained unabated. "I still have to say the same thing, if Miss Mi needs anything, you can come and find me here."
Celestial Water Pavilion...
The three words suddenly appeared in Michelle's mind. She quickly shook her head, unwilling to think too much into it.
