Chapter 1303: Such Threats? 3

Chapter 1303 Such Threats? 3

his low and sensitive voice had just fallen when xi xiaye felt at ease. she turned around to look at the ward behind her. through the window, she could see the weak mu lingshi sound asleep on the sickbed.

"mr. mu, no matter what, you have to get ah mo back in one piece. bring him home. she can't suffer anymore, or she will break down soon enough."

fate had not been very kind to her, so she should not be burdened with all these misfortunes.

as xi xiaye watched mu lingshi lying on the sickbed lifelessly, she felt her chest grow a little heavy in a way that made it hard to breathe. she even felt a little heartbroken.

mu yuchen nodded, his tone exceptionally certain as he said, "don't worry."

"mmm, let's go in and be with her for a bit," xi xiaye said softly.

he then held her and walked into the ward.

after a while, zhuang shurong's anxious call came. mu yuchen picked it up.

"you don't have to come over. it's alright. she's just lacking some nutrition and hasn't been in too stable of a mood. tell grandfather, so he doesn't worry. xiaye and i are here, so we'll have to leave xiao cheng with you for now, mother."

"chen er, did something happen? why did she suddenly faint?" zhuang shurong was still a little doubtful.

"i'll tell you all about it when i get back. don't worry. it's fine." it was not a good time to explain all of this now, so mu yuchen only briefly gave his assurance.

"is it about ah mo? tell us, your father and i are very worried. your father's about to go over to the hospital to see you all." zhuang shurong's tone was naturally concerned.

"mother, tell him that he doesn't have to come. when lingshi wakes up tomorrow, she'll be going home in two days if there aren't much problems. we'll talk about this again then. it's quite late already, so have your dinner first. xiaye and i are here. don't worry," mu yuchen casually said, then hung up.

mu yuchen actually had it all sorted with regards to mu lingshi's matter. when li si rushed over, from afar, he saw mu yuchen looking out of the window in the walkway, the dim lights covering him in a hazy chill.

"master? how's miss lingshi?" li si walked a few steps and reached him as he asked in concern.

"she's alright. bring these things to them for analysis. see if you can find out the place in these pictures. also, find out where doris is right now, and what she's been doing these past few days," mu yuchen said, then he handed li si a folder.

filled with doubt, li si quickly took the folder and opened it to look.

"ah mo? master! how is ah mo? he...is hurt? my gosh, those animals did it!"

li si quickly flipped through the large stack of photos, and after that, he frowned even more. "master, that's not right, why don't i see master qi? and yang sheng? weren't they kidnapped together? where did you get these pictures, master?"

mu yuchen slowly put his arms behind him. "these were sent directly to lingshi."

"sent to miss lingshi? who sent it? they sent these? what are they trying to do?" li si's heart clenched when he thought about the girl on the sickbed, and he could not help but feel enraged. "are they trying to use these things to threaten miss lingshi?"

mu yuchen did not answer, but the sneer that flashed on his lips already told li si his answer.

"how despicable!" li si growled angrily.

"the cover of the express delivery is inside too. take a look. you must find out who the sender is."

"yes, don't worry, master. i'll get it done right away!" li si responded. "oh right, master, master su sent over some documents earlier. he said it's for you to take a look. it seems to be related to master lingtian's accident six years ago."

when he said that, mu yuchen paused, fell silent for a bit, then calmly answered, "got it."

...

the accident six years ago...

lingtian...

if this had not been mentioned, xi xiaye would have almost forgotten about it. because too many things have been happening these past two days, she had forgotten all about that letter!

detective zhang's letter!

"what's wrong?" mu yuchen had just pushed the door open to enter when she saw xi xiaye standing there. upon seeing her odd expression, he asked in concern, "why do you look so pale? are you feeling unwell?"

"no, don't worry. it's nothing. i just remembered that letter i told you that detective zhang sent to me. i left it in the safe at home. it's still there. i almost forgot about it."

xi xiaye frowned and chided herself for forgetting about it!

"it's fine. once lingshi's alright tomorrow, we can go back and take a look too. let's go in."

...

mu lingshi woke up in a daze. she only sensed that her head was blank, and what greeted her sight was a helpless dullness as she felt all limp and weak. it was even hard to get up.

"ah shi? you're awake?" xi xiaye's surprised voice came through. she was relieved as she helped her sit up.

"sister-in-law? why are you here? where's this?" mu lingshi's misty eyes looked at xi xiaye who had suddenly appeared.

"you fainted all of a sudden, so we sent you to the hospital. you're in the hospital now. how are you feeling right now? your brother just went out to get mother to bring you some porridge. you're hungry, aren't you?" xi xiaye quickly poured her a cup of warm water.

mu lingshi accepted it in a dazed state. sipping slowly, her voice was weak and raspy as she held her heavy head and muttered softly, "hospital...how did i end up in the hospital?"

"it's fine. the doctor just said that you lack nutrition, and you can't be too stirred up emotionally. you have to maintain a good mood. that way, you'll give birth to a cute and healthy baby. don't worry, understand?"

once xi xiaye said that, something flashed in mu lingshi's mind and she immediately remembered everything. her face turned pale and she quickly held xi xiaye by the arm. "sis-in-law, how's ah mo now? those people must be treating him terribly. they must be! brother, where's my brother? brother, quickly help me save ah mo, brother!"

"ah shi! calm down! the doctor said you can't get too emotional!" xi xiaye felt heartbroken seeing mu lingshi like this. she set the cup in hand aside and then hugged her.

mu lingshi struggled for a while before she weakly fell into her embrace and quietly cried out.

poor thing! she kept getting hit by one thing after another. she had always been someone who was cold on the outside but soft on the inside. even xi xiaye was moved to the point that she could not keep it all in until now.

she gently patted her on the back and softly consoled, "it'll be okay. trust your brother. he'll rescue ah mo. don't worry..."
