Xiao Jiu stared at Huo Xian like a curious baby.
Huo Xian stared at his phone screen and the chat box with Song Ting.
Other than the first line, which stated that Song Ting had accepted the request, there was no other message.
At this moment, Huo Xian picked up his phone and typed a few lines of words on it.
Huo Xian was typing on his phone, but Xiao Jiu couldn’t see what he wrote. She was anxious.
After Huo Xian finished, she didn’t want to wait for a few seconds and immediately grabbed the phone and checked the message Huo Xian had sent to Song Ting.
Originally Xiao Jiu was very excited. But when she looked at the content of the message, her expression was a little puzzled, as well as hesitating.
Looking up at Huo Xian, she released a question, “Does it work?”
Huo Xian nodded, “Didn’t you say that she’s very competitive? She would reply at this time.”
As he spoke, Huo Xian took the phone and placed it on the table. He also gave Xiao Jiu a shot in the arm.”We’ll just wait.”
Xiao Jiu felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so she turned her gaze back to the phone screen.
It showed the latest message from Huo Xian: Hey, I saw your photo on a website. That site is a very authoritative looks rating site that specializes in letting netizens vote for the most attractive faces. Yours is actually in the last place. I’m super unconvinced!
There were quite a few words.
However, it had been three minutes since the message was sent, and there was no response from the other side.
Xiao Jiu couldn’t help but glance at Huo Xian.
Her big eyes were filled with doubt.
Huo Xian was still calm, “What’s the rush? Let’s wait a little longer.”
Xiao Jiu’s gaze returned to the phone screen and continued to wait for news.
At the same time, outside the room.
Mu Anan took her phone and walked to the stone bench in the courtyard to call Number Two.
As soon as the call connected, Mu Anan asked, “How’s the investigation going?”
Number Two said, “Miss, our people investigated Mu Caijie thoroughly according to your request.”
“According to the results of the investigation, Mu Caijie went to the company eight years ago to make noise after the Mu family’s accident, which is now the Jiang Medical Group.”
Mu Anan frowned. She didn’t know about this.
Mu Anan had been traumatized when she saw her mother and grandfather die with her own eyes, and her mother had died while protecting her.
During that period, she could not receive any news. She had suffered from emotional breakdowns and nightmares. It took her a long time to recover under the care of Seventh Master.
By the time he recovered, Mu Caijie had already disappeared. Moreover, there were no reports of Mu Caijie causing trouble at the company.
“What happened?” Mu Anan asked calmly.
Number Two replied, “At that time, Jiang Zhen did not even see him. He let the security guards treat him as a criminal who broke into the company. They beat him up and threw him out the back door. It was said that his right leg was broken at that time. The receptionist recalled that when Mu Caijie left, he dragged his right leg.”
Mu Anan frowned.
She saw that Mu Caijie’s movements were completely normal just now. She couldn’t see anything wrong with his legs.
“Continue.” Mu Anan ordered.
Number Two said, “After that, Mu Caijie made a scene a few times and was beaten up. There were even gangs that threatened him with death. In the end, he left the center of Jianglan City and returned to his father’s hometown. It’s a small county below Jianglan City. He has been living there for the past eight years.”
“Until last year, he came to the Jiang Group in Jianglan City to find Jiang Zhen. There has been no trace of him since then.”
“What do you mean by no trace of him?” Mu Anan did not understand what he meant.
Number Two replied, “That means the person, without the track of living in Jianglan City, and at the same time did not come back to the county, as if he had evaporated.”
“When did Hillside Yard begin to be built?” Mu Anan asked.
“Last year, after Mu Caijie went to look for Jiang Zhen, I suspect that Mu Caijie went to look for Jiang Zhen to reach an agreement. After that, he built Hillside Yard.”
Number Two was an excellent intelligence officer, so he did not need Mu Anan to tell him anything. He had already investigated and found some problems.
He said,” But, Miss Anan, when Mu Caijie went to look for Jiang Zhen a year ago, his right leg was crippled.”
Mu Anan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and subconsciously straightened her back.
Her right hand, which was originally placed casually on the table, was now clenched even more uncontrollably.
Especially when he saw Mu Caijie, who was giving instructions to the staff not far away from the courtyard.
He was dressed very sportily and had a friendly smile on his face. He looked refreshing and good-natured. When he walked, his legs were very nimble.
There was no sign of a limp on his right leg.
However, Mu Anan felt her body temperature drop and she felt inexplicably cold.
Mu Anan shivered when the cold wind blew past.
At the same time, Number Two continued to report on the phone.
“Our people asked around in the county town where Mu Caijie lives. According to the doctor at the clinic near Mu Caijie’s home, Mu Caijie’s leg injury could be cured at first, but Mu Caijie delayed the treatment before he limped.
“Therefore, based on the clues, we can get that after Mu Caijie went to Jiang Zhen and was beaten up, he was beaten up several times in a row, which was why his leg could not heal.”
Mu Caijie, who had been communicating with the staff, had already noticed Mu Anan when Number Two was reporting.
He smiled and greeted Mu Anan before walking over.
“Do you have any photos of him from the past few years?” Mu Anan asked in a low voice.
“Yes, I’ll send them to you.” Number Two said.
Mu Anan ended the call.
A few seconds later, Number Two sent Mu Caijie’s photos over the past few years, including the photo of Mu Caijie coming to the Barker Group to look for Jiang Town a year ago.
In the photo, Mu Caijie was wearing a flowery shirt and a gold chain. He was different from the hot-tempered playboy in Mu Anan’s memory.
The young man in the photo had been dealt with by the lowest class of society. He was uncultured, had a bad temper, and had a rough behavior. He was a crippled gangster.
The moment he looked back, that face was the same as Mu Caijie in Mu Anan’s memories, as well as Mu Caijie who was walking towards her.
However, when Mu Anan looked at the fierce-looking Mu Caijie in the photo, she felt that this was the normal appearance of her uncle in her memory.
She could even imagine the uncle in the photo pointing at Mu Anan and scolding her. His eyes were filled with hatred for her. That was what Mu Caijie should look like.
Not now…
“Anan, why are you sitting here alone?” Mu Caijie had already walked over and greeted Mu Anan with a smile.
His voice was gentle, like that of an elder.
He glanced at Mu Anan’s phone screen….
