Kong Ya Lan looked at Mu Jing Chen, truly unsure if Yan Xi had saved the Milky Way in her past life, first Fu Yan Ting, and now Mu Jing Chen.
The men she found were all so excellent, so wealthy.
The more this was the case, the more Kong Ya Lan became jealous.
Jealous of Yan Xi's good fortune.
Kong Ya Lan grabbed Mu Jing Chen, not caring if Mu Jing Chen found her repulsive.
She made incoherent sounds, wanting to speak, but unable to open her mouth.
However, Mu Jing Chen still heard a "Fu" sound from Kong Ya Lan's mumbles.
Mu Jing Chen looked at Kong Ya Lan, suppressing the feeling of nausea, and asked, "Are you trying to say that Fu Yan Ting was the one who cut off your tongue and threw it in the trash?"
Kong Ya Lan didn't expect Mu Jing Chen to understand her meaning. She nodded vigorously.
Mu Jing Chen knew his guess was correct.
He then asked, "So Fu Yan Ting was also the one who called 120 to save Yan Xi?"
Kong Ya Lan wasn't entirely sure, but she couldn't speak at all now. Even if she could speak, Mu Jing Chen wouldn't be as sharp as he was just now, understanding what she meant.
She didn't dare to shake her head randomly, so she could only nod in agreement.
Now, Mu Jing Chen was basically certain that it was also Fu Yan Ting who had sent him the text message telling him Yan Xi was injured and hospitalized.
Because he was afraid of him finding out, Fu Yan Ting had canceled the phone number immediately after sending the message.
In Yan City, it was probably only Fu Yan Ting who dared to do such a bloody deed.
Mu Jing Chen prepared to leave.
However, Kong Ya Lan, driven by the intense hatred between rivals, clung tightly to Mu Jing Chen's sleeve, wanting to add fuel to the fire and exaggerate Yan Xi's ambiguous relationship with Fu Yan Ting.
Alas, her tongue had been cut off, and she couldn't speak clearly at all.
Even if she did, Mu Jing Chen wouldn't know what she was trying to say.
Mu Jing Chen glanced at Kong Ya Lan with disgust. If it weren't for Yan Xi, he wouldn't have tolerated standing here and talking to Kong Ya Lan.
Mu Jing Chen turned to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, looked back at his assistant, and said coldly, "Dispose of her."
Kong Ya Lan had caused Yan Xi to be disfigured. It wouldn't be excessive for him to take Kong Ya Lan's life.
After speaking, Mu Jing Chen turned and left.
He sent a message to eleven, asking to meet her.
Eleven respectfully asked upon seeing Mu Jing Chen, "Master, what are your orders?"
"Are you sure you successfully hypnotized Fu Yan Ting?"
Mu Jing Chen didn't beat around the bush. Looking at the face that was exactly like Yan Xi's, Mu Jing Chen calmly asked.
Eleven froze for a moment, then replied, "Of course. My hypnosis skills are second to none in the world. I personally hypnotized Fu Yan Ting and told him that Yan Xi loves you, not Fu Yan Ting, and that he should stop bothering Yan Xi."
Mu Jing Chen narrowed his eyes and asked indifferently, "Did you really hypnotize him like that?"
Eleven's heart tightened. She pretended to be calm and replied, "Of course it's true, Master. Did something happen? Why are you asking?"
Mu Jing Chen glanced coldly at Eleven and did not respond. He got up and left.
Yan Xi was lying alone in the hospital. He worried Yan Xi would overthink things and wanted to accompany her.
As Mu Jing Chen arrived at the hospital, his phone rang. It was his secretary, informing him that the project Mu Jing Chen had invested in had encountered problems.
Originally, the project had been progressing smoothly. Now, with the sudden issues, he didn't need to think to know someone was making trouble behind the scenes.
Mu Jing Chen's expression changed drastically.
Mu Jing Chen looked up at the illuminated hospital room light. He wanted to see Yan Xi, but the current situation did not permit it.
Mu Jing Chen turned the steering wheel and drove directly towards the company.
Yan Xi lay in the hospital room, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Although she and Fu Yan Ting had divorced, Yan Xi had never imagined that their relationship would become what it was now.
Even thinking of Fu Yan Ting now still caused Yan Xi a pang of heartache.
She didn't know how someone as proud as Fu Yan Ting could have an accident.
Kong Ya Lan was dead.
After Fu Yan Ting cut off her tongue, he had thrown her into the trash. It was Mu Jing Chen's people who killed Kong Ya Lan.
Kong Ya Lan's eyes were wide open when she died, which was probably a death with unresolved grievances.
Yan Xi learned of this news through the television news.
Yan Xi had no particular relationship with Kong Ya Lan, but after all, they had lived together for so many years. Now that Yan Xi knew Kong Ya Lan was dead, she felt a mix of emotions.
Yan Xi didn't know how she should face Kong Ya Lan's death.
Too many things had happened recently, so many that Yan Xi felt overwhelmed.
Yan Xi closed her eyes in despair.
Suddenly, her phone rang, startling Yan Xi.
Yan Xi picked it up and asked indifferently, "Who is this?"
"Miss Yan, your adoptive mother is dead. Aren't you sad or upset at all?"
Yan Xi couldn't help but frown. The voice was very unfamiliar, and Yan Xi didn't recognize the person at all, nor did she know who they were.
Yan Xi thought of Kong Ya Lan's death and immediately became alert, asking, "Is Kong Ya Lan's death related to you?"
"Miss Yan, you're not entirely foolish. However, there's a saying: too clever a woman is not good; her fate is only death."
Hearing the other party's words, Yan Xi couldn't help but frown.
Now, the enemy was in the dark, and Yan Xi had no idea who they were. She didn't dare to act rashly.
She frowned slightly, not responding to the other party's words.
However, he didn't seem to care much about Yan Xi's attitude.
He chuckled twice and then said, "Miss Yan, your adoptive mother is dead. If you don't cooperate with our work obediently, you'll be next."
Facing the other party's threat, Yan Xi felt a deep sense of helplessness, but she didn't know how to respond.
"Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
Yan Xi couldn't help but ask.
The other party let out a cold laugh, as if mocking Yan Xi's ignorance. After laughing, he directly hung up the phone.
Yan Xi looked at the disconnected phone, her brow furrowed. She had no idea who the other party was.
Even if she wanted to investigate this matter, she wouldn't know where to start.
Mu Jing Chen had been overwhelmed with work at the company for the past two days. No matter how he called, the other party had made it clear they refused to cooperate with Mu Jing Chen.
They would only cooperate with the Mu family if someone else managed the project.
Mu Jing Chen frowned. He already had an answer in his heart as to who was behind this.
He clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, the office door was pushed open...
