Chapter 1139: One Person, One Silence

Jiang Mubai didn't say anything, but just nodded silently.

The car turned around and drove towards the Cheng family villa. Along the way, the two were silent, and the car was filled with a depressing atmosphere.

When they returned to the villa, the police were already there, conducting a scene investigation. Cheng Yunfeng's body had been covered with a white sheet, and the servants stood by, sobbing softly.

Seeing Jiang Mubai coming back, the servants focused their eyes on her, full of mixed emotions. There was sympathy, pity, and resentment. In their opinion, Jiang Mubai was not unrelated to Cheng Yunfeng's death.

Jiang Mubai ignored their gazes, walked straight to Cheng Yunfeng's body, slowly squatted down, and lifted the white cloth covering him.

Cheng Yunfeng's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at the stupidity and helplessness of the world. He held the wedding photo tightly in his hand. In the photo, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan smiled brightly and happily, which formed a sharp contrast with his coldness and silence at the moment.

Jiang Mubai couldn't hold back her tears and they fell on Cheng Yunfeng's cold face. She reached out her hand tremblingly and stroked his cheek, her heart filled with regret and grief.

"I'm sorry..." She choked up, "I'm sorry..."

Cheng Yunchuan stood behind her, looking at her silently, his eyes full of heartache and helplessness. He knew that Jiang Mubai's pain and self-blame at the moment were much deeper than what appeared on the surface.

"Mu Bai," he gently put his arm around her shoulders, "this is not your fault."

Jiang Mubai raised her head, tears blurring her vision. She looked at Cheng Yunchuan, her eyes full of helplessness and confusion.

"Yunchuan," she said tremblingly, "I'm afraid..."

Cheng Yunchuan hugged her tightly, giving her silent comfort. He knew that Jiang Mubai needed time to digest all this, and the only thing he could do was to stay by her side and give her support and strength.

The police investigation results came out quickly, and Cheng Yunfeng's death was determined to be suicide.

Cheng Yunfeng's funeral was held a few days later, and the Cheng family was immersed in grief. Jiang Mubai remained silent, as if she had lost all her vitality. Cheng Yunchuan stayed by her side, fearing that she would do something stupid.

After the funeral, Cheng Yunchuan took Jiang Mubai away from the Cheng family villa and returned to their own home.

"Mubai," Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai, his eyes full of worry, "Are you really okay?"

Jiang Mubai shook her head and said nothing. She walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside, her eyes empty and confused.

"Yunchuan," she said suddenly, "I want to be alone for a while."

Cheng Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Okay, I'll be outside, call me if you need anything."

Jiang Mubai stood by the window alone, looking at the busy traffic outside, feeling lost. Cheng Yunfeng's death was like a huge rock, weighing her down. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know where her future lay.

Suddenly, she felt someone approaching from behind. She turned around abruptly and saw a strange man standing behind her, holding a dagger that was shining coldly in his hand...

Jiang Mubai turned around abruptly, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. The man had a sinister smile on his face, and the dagger flashed coldly in front of her eyes, as dangerous as a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue. She instinctively took a step back and bumped into the windowsill with a dull sound.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai tried to remain calm, but his voice couldn't stop shaking.

The man didn't answer, but stepped closer, with an even weirder smile on his face. "Someone asked me to bring you a 'gift'." He said, raising the dagger in his hand.

Fear surged like a tide, and Jiang Mubai could hardly breathe. She tried desperately to escape, but found herself trapped in a corner with no way out. At the critical moment, the door was suddenly knocked open and Cheng Yunchuan rushed in.

"Mu Bai!" He took in the scene in front of him and his face turned pale in an instant.

Cheng Yunchuan rushed towards the man without hesitation, and the two wrestled together. Although Cheng Yunchuan was tall, the man was obviously professionally trained and his moves were deadly. After a few rounds, Cheng Yunchuan's face was already covered with bruises.

Jiang Mubai was so frightened watching the thrilling fight in front of her that she wanted to help but didn't know how to do it. She could only stand by helplessly, clenching her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh.

"Ah!" The man screamed, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Cheng Yunchuan seized the opportunity and punched the man in the face, knocking him to the ground.

The man struggled to get up, but Cheng Yunchuan stepped forward and pinned him to the ground. "Tell me! Who sent you here?"

The man spat out a mouthful of blood foam and glared at Cheng Yunchuan fiercely. "You...you don't know..."

Cheng Yunchuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he increased the strength of his hands. "You don't want to tell me? Then don't blame me for being rude!"

Just then, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door and several policemen rushed in.

"Stop!" the leading policeman shouted.

Cheng Yunchuan let go of the man and stood up. The man was handcuffed by the police and taken away.

Jiang Mubai walked to Cheng Yunchuan in shock, looking at the scars on his face, feeling distressed. "Yunchuan, are you okay?"

Cheng Yunchuan shook his head gently and held her in his arms tenderly. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Who on earth wants to harm me?" Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with fear and confusion.

Cheng Yunchuan gently stroked her hair, with a complex look in his eyes. "I'll find out."

In the following days, Cheng Yunchuan continued to investigate the incident, but he still could not find any clues. The man refused to reveal who was behind the crime, and the police could not get any more information from him.

That night, Cheng Yunchuan returned home and saw Jiang Mubai sitting on the sofa, holding a photo in his hand, his eyes empty and confused.

He walked over and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Mu Bai, what's wrong?"

Jiang Mubai raised his head and handed him the photo. In the photo, there was a young and beautiful woman with a gentle and sweet smile.

"Do you know this person?" Jiang Mubai's voice was low and hoarse.

Cheng Yunchuan looked at the woman in the photo, his expression changed slightly. "She...she is..."

"She is my sister, Jiang Muxue." Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, "She...she disappeared five years ago..."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai, his heart filled with shock and confusion. He had never heard Jiang Mubai mention that she had a sister.

"Mu Bai," he hesitated and asked, "Is there any connection between your sister's disappearance and this incident?"

Jiang Mubai did not answer, but just held the photo tightly, his eyes full of pain and confusion.
