Chapter 1525 - 1515: The Price

Chapter 1525: Chapter 1515: The Price

Perhaps the shock made Mu Yan’s nerves too tense; even after ensuring the child was safe, her mind couldn’t settle.

Eventually, she couldn’t resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.

But in a daze, she felt someone standing by the bed, that person watched her for a long time, then she saw him sit by the bed, gently stroking her cheek with his hand.

No one else would do such a thing but him.

She wanted to open her eyes but couldn’t no matter how hard she tried.

In the dream, she struggled desperately, wanting to get up, even pinching herself, trying to wake herself up.

Finally, as if breaking free from shackles, she opened her eyes to pitch-black darkness.

She turned on the bedside lamp; the room was empty, not a shadow in sight.

However, unwilling to give up, she lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and opened the door to go out.

The hallway was pitch black, the lights downstairs were off, the room silent, with no one there at all.

Mu Yan stood at the door for a while, then returned to the room, closed the door, and exhaled softly.

What was she thinking, actually taking a dream as reality.

She returned to bed, pulled the blanket over and lay down, soon turning over, tears flowed out just like that.

On this trip back to Upper City, she told herself to be strong, not to always think of depending on him, but in the dead of night, alone in this cold house, her psychological defenses began to retreat, even facing collapse.

She hadn’t been able to be with him properly for a long time, she really missed him.

She wondered if his injuries had healed?

Or maybe the treatment was delayed, leading to the injuries worsening?

At the thought of this possibility, she instantly felt all wrong.

And she hadn’t noticed that the bedroom window, originally half open, was now closed.

When Mu Yan woke up in the morning, she looked unwell, her eyes swollen.

Yu Ma looked at her with some concern, "Young Madam, should the doctor come again?"

"I’m fine," Mu Yan shook her head.

Kong Yanzi also arrived soon afterwards, seeing her with a sleepy look, asked, "Fighting Zhou Gong last night?"

Mu Yan looked at him in surprise, "So you actually know Zhou Gong?"

Kong Yanzi, "..."

Although he grew up abroad, as a descendant of the Kong Family, he’s certainly familiar with Chinese culture.

He laughed, "Seeing you’re still in the mood to joke with me, you must be fine."

Mu Yan sat at the dining table, took a sandwich, bit into it, swallowed it, and then asked, "How did the investigation of last night’s incident go?"

"The person who orchestrated your kidnapping was a man named Kang Qiao, a partner in a certain law firm."

Mu Yan thought for a moment, shook her head, "I don’t know this person."

"But you should know another person."

Mu Yan took another bite of the sandwich, looked at him, signaling him to continue.

"Yin Manqing."

Mu Yan’s chewing paused, she picked up the juice on the table, took a sip, swallowed the food in her mouth.

"You mean Yin Manqing wants to kidnap me?"

Kong Yanzi pulled a chair to sit across from her, and said, "I guess she wants to use kidnapping you to lure out Jiang Jingheng. Currently, Shengyuan Group’s stock price is plummeting, shareholders are uneasy, all pointing fingers at Jiang Jingheng. And the old master of the Jiang Family is now bedridden, like a useless person. If he doesn’t come out to turn the tide, Jiang Family’s assets may have nothing to do with him."

He picked up his juice, drank a sip, frowned in disgust, "Why is this orange juice so sour!"

Putting down the cup, he asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

Mu Yan said in a calm voice, "Anyone who dares to harm my child, I will make them pay a hundredfold."

As she spoke, she finished the juice, and said to Yu Ma, "Yu Ma, please pour me another glass of juice."
