The bodyguard who was under Mu Sihan’s instructions to look after An Feng, was bitten by her and when he was trying to stop the blood, An Feng had already run away.
When he gave chase, he saw how An Feng was being stepped on by Nan Yao.
He wanted to get even with Nan Yao but he stopped when he saw that Nan Yao was accompanied by the Duchess.
It must have been An Feng who had bumped into the Duchess.
The bodyguard helped An Feng up and asked with a frown, “Madam, are you all right?”
An Feng smiled and pointed to the Duchess. “I saw my mom… But, she had been gone for many years…”
The bodyguard was speechless.
She was the Duchess and had a high status, how could the Duchess be her mom?
Mu Sihan came out from the doctor’s office and found An Feng and the bodyguard. When he saw the red finger marks on An Feng’s face, his handsome and cold face darkened, a menacing look appeared in his eyes. “What happened? Didn’t I ask you to protect her?”
“It was my negligence.”
Mu Sihan could not punish the bodyguard in public. He asked coldly, “Who did it?”
The bodyguard replied in panic, “The Duchess’ party.”
A trace of irritation flashed past his dark eyes. He pursed his lips and pulled An Feng’s hand, planning to leave with her when An Feng hissed and drew back her hand.
Mu Sihan took her hand again and his face tensed up when he saw that the back of her hand was scratched and swollen, showing his anger and suppressed feelings.
“Take Madam to the car and apply medicine to her hand and face.”
Mu Sihan turned around, found the dean and went to the surveillance room together.
After seeing how An Feng got injured, a trace of murderous intent flashed past his dark eyes.
…
In the evening.
After Li Ying and Nan Yao had dinner in the castle, they took the car to Mr. Pei’s work place to pick up Pei Xuan.
Li Ying was in a good mood today and they could not help talking about what had happened in the hospital.
“There are quite a number of people who want to acknowledge the Duchess as mother, even a lunatic wants to become the daughter of the Duke. It’s really asking for the moon!”
Nan Yao smiled. “That’s right, she’s just daydreaming and delusional.”
Li Ying glanced at Nan Yao. “Why, you knew her? I didn’t see wrongly, when you walked past her, you stepped on her.”
Nan Yao thought of how if it had not been for Nan Zhi, she would not have slept with that silly Pei Xuan, and would not have been a slave to Li Ying. A trace of coldness flashed past her eyes. “She is like her daughter, they’re both sluts.”
Li Ying was interested and wanted to ask Nan Yao who that crazy woman was when the car suddenly braked and stopped.
Li Ying and Nan Yao’s body slammed forward and their heads knocked into the back of the seats in front.
Li Ying was furious and scolded the chauffeur in front, “What happened? Don’t you look where you’re drivingー”
Before she could finish, she saw a chartered car coming across and several masked man came down from the car in a fierce manner.
They pulled open the door quickly and dragged Li Ying, the chauffeur and Nan Yao down.
Li Ying’s eyes were covered by an eye mask. She opened her mouth, wanting to shout but she was slapped twice roughly on the face suddenly.
The palm of a man was heavier and more forceful than a woman’s. Stars were dancing before her eyes, her head dizzy and a sickly sweet taste appeared in her throat after being beaten. That fiery pain on her face had not gone away before she was slapped hard another few more times.
Nan Yao, on the other hand, had her head covered and pushed to the ground. Before she could get up, her hands that were pressed on the ground were stepped on by leather shoes.
Nan Yao screamed in pain.
But the person who stepped on her had no intention of letting go. She could feel the bones of her fingers almost breaking.
Those men only let her go after she fainted.
…
Bo Yan had not found that shepherd boy and after Mu Sihan ended the call with him, he turned and went to the living room from the balcony.
Auntie He had already made dinner.
“I’m not eating here, take good care of Madam.”
Auntie He nodded.
Mu Sihan left the apartment and sat in his car, but did not leave immediately.
He had installed a hidden surveillance camera in the kitchen and he took out his phone, turning it into the surveillance video.
Auntie He was serving soup.
After serving the soup, Auntie He brought it to the dining room.
She then went back to the kitchen and took out a small soup bowl.
She looked back at the kitchen door.
Seeing that there was no one, she secretly took out a small plastic bag from her pocket.
When Mu Sihan saw this, he frowned.
Auntie He entered the room to call An Feng out for dinner and Mu Sihan took the opportunity to replace the bowl of soup that had been drugged.
He took the soup and returned to the hospital.
He wanted to know what Auntie He had put in the soup.
An hour later.
The test results were out.
There was no trace of drugs in the soup.
Mu Sihan’s handsome face darkened slightly and felt that it was strange.
If there were no drugs in it, why did Auntie He have to sneak around so suspiciously?
Mu Sihan found the old dean of the Royal Hospital and asked him to run the test again.
The facts proved that Mu Sihan’s guess was correct.
The old dean had rich experience. According to his test and experience, the drug in the soup was a kind of chemical preparation that was colorless and tasteless. If given to a person a little bit every day, it would make a normal person’s mental state worsen, such that they would be prone to hallucinations and other side effects. If they continued to take it for a long time, not only would it make a person become mentally ill, it might also cause death!
When Mu Sihan heard this, a stunned expression appeared on his cold and handsome face.
Auntie He was originally a servant from Nan Zhi’s grandfather’s family. She was a loyal person, how could she do such a vicious thing?
After Mu Sihan got the results, he did not immediately question Auntie He.
He claimed that Xiaojie missed his grandmother and brought An Feng into the palace, leaving Auntie He in the apartment for a few days.
…
Bo Yan met Yan Hua not long after he had arrived at Gu Sheng’s hometown.
Seeing Yan Hua, Bo Yan felt a tremor in his heart. His tall body stepped forward a few steps. “Huahua, why are you here?”
Yan Hua went to the airport to meet Nan Zhi the other day and when she learnt that she was taken away by the guards, she was very anxious. She called Xiaojie and found that Nan Zhi was arrested because of her relationship with Gu Sheng.
Yan Hua had heard Nan Zhi mentioned some of the last moments she had spent with Gu Sheng.
So, she thought of coming to the place where the two of them had spent together to see if she could find any evidence to prove Nan Zhi’s innocence.
Yan Hua’s heart jumped when she saw Bo Yan.
Ever since he knew that Little Apple was his daughter, it was almost like he became another person.
As long as he had no training or missions, he would come to her apartment. She would ignore him but he did not care and even said that he came to see his daughter and not her, and asked her not to think too much.
Although he would appear in her apartment from time to time, Yan Hua had not taken a good look at him for a long time since they got divorced.
When they met here suddenly, she realized that he was much thinner and the outlines of his face became clearer and more handsome at such a close proximity.
