Chapter 448: Woman He Loved Wasn’t a Pushover
After Su Hang checked, disinfected, and confirmed that there was no infection among them, Mu Feichi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“This virus was probably specially researched and created. I just checked the ingredients, and they are the same as those in the batch that man had.”
Yun Xi turned to look at Mu Feichi and said, “If this virus also came from him, then you probably need to investigate this matter.”
The emergence of any new virus was a potential threat to the Mu family.
Those who released this sort of stuff should go to h*ll.
“I’ve already sent people to investigate. Since it happened at such a coincidental time, they will be checked first. Then I’m going to check the Zhao family.”
“The Zhao family?” Yun Xi only then realized that while she had been guarding against Li Sinuo, she’d forgotten about the Zhao family.
“You forgot? It’s only a few months before her coming-of-age ceremony. If the Zhao family wants to get rid of the first-in-line heir at this time, it wouldn’t be surprising.”
As soon as she heard that the culprit might be a member of the Zhao family, Zhao Yumo’s facial expression suddenly changed, and a gloomy, murderous look appeared on her face.
“D*mn! Who is the desperate guy who would dare to use this sort of thing against me? If I find him I won’t let him off the hook!”
Thinking that it might be her outlandish uncle or aunt, Zhao Yumo’s heart sank.
She didn’t dare imagine what the consequences would have been if she had really been infected with the virus. Just imagining how her life would be worse than death gave her the chills.
Jiang Chenghuan frowned and glanced at her, then stretched out his hand to grab hold of her collar and pull her back.
“Calm down, the first and most important thing now is to find out who made the move, lest the other party sees that you didn’t fall for it and try again. The next time, you might not be able to guard against it.”
Yun Xi glanced at Zhao Yumo and felt a little worried. “You shouldn’t come to class for the time being. If you’re infected with this virus, you’ll simply have a fever, so just pretend to be sick.”
“What about you?” Zhao Yumo looked at Yun Xi, also with worry. “Your situation is no better than mine. If Li Sinuo is the culprit, since she had the guts to harm me, she will try to harm you again.”
“Don’t worry, if it’s Li Sinuo, she’s not going to let me die so easily. Think about it! Why didn’t she use the virus against me? Obviously, she doesn’t want me to die yet.”
Due to the grudge between her and Li Sinuo, the fact that Li Sinuo hadn’t made a vicious move against her yet was surprising.
If it was because of the man who was behind her, that could be very interesting.
Thinking about this, she turned to look at the sullen man beside her. Her sly, clever eyes gleamed brightly.
“Young Marshal Mu…why don’t we tempt the snake out of his cave?”
Mu Feichi cocked his head and looked at her. There was an unfathomable, mysterious look in his eyes, as if he could easily see through her calculating thoughts at a single glance.
“How do you want to lure the snake out of his hole? Use yourself as bait to fish him out?”
“I’m not stupid, so I definitely won’t use myself as bait. Especially since this new type of virus is also involved. Before an effective antidote is developed, I definitely won’t take that risk since I don’t want to die.”
The prerequisite for taking such a risk was that she must have full certainty before making a move.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth…”
Yun Xi smiled, but the smile on her delicate face was in stark contrast to the expression in her eyes, which was cold and piercing.
Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes. It was rare to see her so aggressive, and it was actually quite adorable and alluring.
Sure enough, the woman he loved wasn’t a pushover who could be easily bullied.
“Before finding out the source of the virus, you can’t do it. You just obediently wait for the data.”
Yun Xi nodded. “Okay, but you have to be more careful yourself. Don’t startle the snake, otherwise I won’t be able to keep up the act.”
Mu Feichi patted her cheek in mock anger and said with a doting expression, “The people who work for me aren’t that useless!”
