Chapter 1295 Scheming, Retreating To Advance 1

mu yuchen watched the scene before him indifferently. his unfathomable gaze possessed an unusual sharpness and depth as he briefly looked around the surroundings and was almost done when he suddenly stopped.

his line of sign stopped on the door of a black car.

he saw that there was vague writing of the letter ‘d’ on the door, and also a very small triangular symbol.

mu yuchen’s eyes squinted. as he fell silent for a moment, a mysterious smirk flashed across his lips, but he did not say anything. he just turned and walked out.

“officer xu, i’ll leave this scene to you. i hope that the police’s efficiency will be of a level that the people are satisfied with. when the times come, i will thank you all well!”

“you’re being courteous now, master mu! this is our job that we should be doing.”

“alright, i won’t bother your work then. if there’s anything, just let us know when our cooperation is needed,” mu yuchen said, and then he looked back at su chen. “i’ll return to city z right away. are you coming along?”

su chen’s brows were raised. “of course! but i think that before that, we should have dinner. booking flight tickets take time. besides, the way you look, if you…keep going like this, you’ll fall. you don’t look good!”

“we’ll eat at the airport. i won’t die from skipping a meal,” mu yuchen stated, and then walked to the car.

shrugging, su chen followed after him.

“ah bao, stay back to help with investigations. let me know right away if there’s anything.”

“yes, master!”

mu yuchen’s low voice was colored with a hint of fatigue. then, he got into the car as su chen followed behind.

all of them made their way straight for the airport without stopping.

the car was still speeding along the highway to the airport, and from the moment mu yuchen got into the car, he shut his eyes to rest. there were clear signs of fatigue between his brows. when su chen looked at him with the help of the light of the car, he could vaguely see his pale complexion.

that would be no surprise. he had flown for more than 10 hours from the other side. given the jetlag as well, he had not even had the time to catch his breath when he rushed over. it was no surprise he could barely stay awake.

when he thought about this, su chen did not bother him further. he fell silent and took the materials from the side to read through.

nonetheless, mu yuchen only rested for about ten minutes. when he heard the faint sound of documents being flipped through, he forced himself to open his heavy eyelids again.

su chen could sense the man beside him stirring, so he asked, “did you notice anything earlier?”

“you’ve got a keen eye.” mu yuchen reached out with his long fingers and held up his forehead, trying to ease the weariness that was gathering within him.

“we’ve been bros for decades. if i can’t even read that, all our years would’ve been for nothing! tell me, what did you think of that symbol on the car door? could it have been left behind by ah mo?” su chen obviously noticed mu yuchen’s gaze too, so he could be sure that he must have noticed something.

mu yuchen smiled. “you saw it too? if it’s just the letter ‘d’, i might not have thought of anything, but that triangular symbol is ah mo’s usual symbol. his triangle always has a little trail at the end. because of that, i’ve even teased him about it once. if i guessed correctly, that ‘d’ might be him trying to tell us something. there aren’t too many coincidences in this world. with what we’ve been gathering recently, the answer’s quite obvious, no?”

“doris?” su chen quickly got it right.

“whether or not it was her, we must do a thorough check. earlier, i received something that my father found out through his investigation in my e-mail. on the day before lingtian’s incident, the car met an accident and was sent to the repair shop. then, not long after the repair shop owner disappeared, and the repair shop closed too. i’ve gotten people to look for the people from the repair shop. right now, i’m quite looking forward to see if the letter that detective zhang sent to xi xiaye will hold any valuable information.”

“mmm, also from today’s situation we can see that ah mo and the rest might not be in a dangerous situation. maybe…but do you really think that ah mo can be trusted? i don’t want the thing with lingtian to happen again. when i went over, someone already told me that he’s been meeting gu qiwu a lot recently. can you be sure that he won’t be the next lingtian?” su chen’s tone was heavy as he asked.

“what do you think? would he do that?” mu yuchen did not answer and asked him back instead.

upon hearing that, su chen’s expression froze he thought about it seriously and answered, “based on my understanding of ah mo, he wouldn’t.”

“do you think there’s anything else to doubt then?”

“but how can we explain his frequent meetings with gu qiwu?” this doubt was something that su chen still could not figure out.

mu yuchen sighed softly as he turned to look out of the window and fell silent for a while before he responded, “i think it was probably for lingshi.”

mu yuchen did not forget what xi xiaye had told him about mu lingshi’s matter. after all, doing so would fit lingshi’s personality.

“lingshi? why does it involve lingshi now? is lingshi thinking of wanting hui gu?” su chen kept thinking about it, and it seemed like this was the only answer.

“lingshi’s thoughts are simple and very straightforward. if she gets hui gu, doris and gu lingsha’s powers will be weakened much more. doris has always paid close attention to gu qiwu. do you think doris will neglect this?”with mu yuchen’s reminder, su chen suddenly snapped back. “are you saying that doris might think of doing something to lingshi?”

su chen’s lowered voice could not help but be colored with a chill and his dark eyes flickered. “yes, there’s a huge probability of that. right now, ah mo’s incident is enough to prove this! she’s got quite a huge patience. this time, it was most likely planned by her!”

“her good luck can only end here.” mu yuchen laughed lukewarmly.

“what are you planning to do about ah mo and qi lei’s matter?”

“if there’s no news, it means they should be safe. besides, if ah mo and qi lei were held down by these people so easily, then all their years in the wild would’ve meant nothing. right now, the most important thing for us to do is return to city z and watch doris. put our guard up against any more incidents. this time, i want doris to pay the price!” his calm tone held a hint of hostility.

“you’re a smart one. alright, i’ll play this game with you!”

a dazzling curve flashed on su chen’s lips…
