Chapter 104 Clues
Chapter 104 Clues
Mu Yanchen just smiled at Guan Qi's hostility. He was an important person to Sheng Baiyi, so his behavior was harmless.
He touched the rim of the cup, then raised the corners of his eyes, as if there was warm and gentle rain falling in his eyes, "When?"
This question couldn't help but make Guan Qi feel a little nervous.
"It was when Shen Zhao appeared in front of me again." Mu Yanchen said as he opened the drawer of the desk. In the drawer was an exquisite wooden box. He took it out and placed it gently on the table, as if it were some treasure.
Guan Qi looked at his series of actions suspiciously. Although he was curious, he suppressed his impulse and asked, "What is that?"
Mu Yanchen laughed again. If Situ Rui were there, he would probably be surprised too, because this was the conversation that made Mu Yanchen laugh the most.
Mu Yanchen took out an old-fashioned key and inserted it into the hole of the wooden box. He pushed it in one notch and turned it to the left twice, then pushed it in one notch and turned it to the right. The box opened with a click. Inside were handwritten notes and prescriptions. Mu Yanchen picked up one and handed it to Guan Qi. "Take a look. If it were you, would you be able to find it?"
Guan Qi took a piece of paper. He stared at the words on it in shock and then looked up at Mu Yanchen, "This is her handwriting! I recognize it!"
Mu Yanchen nodded, "Luckily, she met me when she just woke up, otherwise, given her current situation, if she was exposed, she would be in trouble."
His eyes seemed to be soaked in frosty white snow as he stared coldly at the papers. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if she met those people who wanted her life instead of him!
"She is indeed not careful enough. She should have been on guard against you first. After so many years, you still haven't given up coveting her!" Guan Qi put down the prescription and stared viciously at the calm and composed man in front of him.
Mu Yanchen turned his head and his cold eyes fell on Guan Qi. Guan Qi couldn't help but avoid his gaze. That look was so cold that it made him feel chilled to the bones.
Perhaps because the previous conversation was too peaceful, Guan Qi actually forgot who Mu Yanchen was and could not be rude in front of him. Fortunately, he was an important person to Sheng Baiyi, otherwise he did not know what would have happened to him.
Mu Yanchen retracted his oppressive gaze and spoke, "Why should I give up? I have never let go. It's you and Xiao Yi. If you had treated her well and not ignored her, she wouldn't have to suffer the pain of suffocation in the water. Do you know how uncomfortable she was at that time?"
For the first time, Mu Yanchen controlled his emotions and calmly spoke to Guan Qi about the past that he never wanted to mention again. If his body was not in this condition, would he have pushed Sheng Baiyi out?
Guan Qi raised his head and glared at Mu Yanchen stubbornly, "So what's wrong with you now? Are you still dragging her down with this broken body?"
"Since you can't protect her, then even if it costs me my life, I must ensure that she lives a happy and peaceful life from now on!"
"you!"
Guan Qi was a little indignant, but the fact is the fact, even though he was unwilling to admit it, "Have you ever asked her if she needs such an arrangement? You pushed her out in the past, and now she's back with you. No matter if it's fate or something else, she's back anyway. Are you going to push her away again this time?"
Mu Yanchen was unusually firm at this time, "No, unless I die, none of you will have another chance this time!"
Guan Qi suppressed his inner anger, which was directed at Mu Yanchen and even more so at himself. He was right. In order to protect her, he would rather let her forget about him. However, he and the people closest to her failed to protect her, and let her fall into danger. In fact, when the police notified him, he realized that she had left forever!
He swallowed down his surging impulse and anger, and asked in a vicious voice: "Then did you find out who did such a bad thing to her?"
"We have some clues. At least we know who stole the information about the new drug."
"Who?" Guan Qi stood up suddenly and stared at Mu Yanchen in astonishment.
"The third son of the Mu family in Shengjing, Mu Guichao."
"How could it be him?"
Guan Qi has been looking for it, but the information seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and any related news seems to have evaporated. Sometimes he even doubts whether the information exists.
Now, after listening to Mu Yanchen's words, he believed it a little. Firstly, Mu Yanchen and Mu Guichao were not on good terms. Secondly, Mu Yanchen was also a member of the Mu family. Although he was exiled to H City early on, he knew some of the secrets there. It was much easier for him to know some information than outsiders like them.
"Do you know that Sheng Baiyi has been engaged in drug research and development?"
Guan Qi nodded and waited for him to continue.
"All the male members of the Mu family are suffering from a serious disease. They have sought medical treatment but to no avail, and are only hanging on to their lives. All doctors have unanimously determined that they will not live past the age of 35, and Mu Guichao is the closest to 35. Do you think he is afraid of death?"
This news shocked Guan Qi. He could never have imagined that the Shengjing Mu family actually had such a secret. If this was the case, it would not be difficult to infer that the information was related to Mu Guichao.
"So, the medicine that Yiyi developed before is related to the serious illness of the male heir of the Mu family?"
Mu Yanchen nodded.
Guan Qi thought of this and stared at Mu Yanchen warily, "If it is as you said, then why aren't you the suspect? You are also a male of the Mu family."
"Yes, but I was the one who invested in the drug development. It just so happened that she worked there. And as far as I know, the drug has not been developed yet. If Mu Guichao uses it in a hurry, I don't know what the side effects will be. What do you think I, who knows the progress of drug development, will do to my own researchers?"
Guan Qi couldn't imagine that there was such a layer inside. If this was the case, many things would make sense.
For example, why did Mu Yanchen invest in drug research and development, and why did Mu Guichao try to grab the research and development results...
"But even if Mu Guichao really took the information, it doesn't mean he is the murderer."
"Yes, it is true, but maybe it has something to do with him. After all, I heard that Mu Guichao's health seems to have improved a lot recently. If he hadn't taken medicine, I would definitely not believe it."
"Then we can always find it by following his direction, right?"
Mu Yanchen raised his eyebrows. "My forces are mostly in H City, and now they can reach Shengjing. But why do you think you can't find Mu Guichao for so long? That's his ability. He can make an object disappear silently without leaving any trace. Even if there is, those traces will be completely erased layer by layer."
