Chapter 229 - In This Past Month, You Went Back to America? (2/2)

“I’m quite curious. In the past month, what did you actually do in America? That night, the anger drove Elder Su directly to the emergency room. Thankfully, his life is stubborn. After four nights of hospitalization, he was able to return home. But from what I’ve seen, right now, they’re akin to a closed-off country refusing contact from all outsiders; ready to defend their property to death. Could it be that, for the sake of giving Ji Nuan her revenge, you’re really going to be ruthless against his precious granddaughter?”

Mo Jingshen’s smiled indifferently, as though the executioner manipulating the situation behind the scenes wasn’t him. His tone was heavy and calm. “I haven’t done anything. I’ve only allowed him to gain a clear look at the pros and cons of this situation. If he plans to make a joke of the Su Family’s fate, I naturally wouldn’t mind participating in this joke with him.”

Nan Heng raised his brows. He turned to scan the slightly empty condo; it clearly wasn’t being frequently used. He mocked, “After so long, could it be that Ji Nuan is still angry?”

Mo Jingshen’s gaze became cold. “You can scram now.”

Nan Heng glanced at the time. Right now was indeed not suitable for brothers to tease one another. He had rushed over through the night and had urgent matters to attend to.

Mo Jingshen was an expert who never left blood on his blade. From start to finish, aside from that extra fiancée Mo Shaoze had placed by his side for a year, he had never miscalculated a single step.

For him, Ji Nuan’s appearance and the way she constantly barged through his life was perhaps the only true surprise he had ever experienced.

Downstairs, several bodyguards who were on duty by the gates stood stiffly. Nan Heng appeared, bringing out a photo on his phone for them to see.

“This short-haired, tall, and skinny woman frequently visits this place. After last night, have you guys seen her?”

When they saw the photo, the bodyguards immediately recognized her as the person who frequently accompanied Miss Ji in and out of this condo.

“Two days ago, I saw her returning with Miss Ji. But she didn’t show up yesterday. I haven’t seen her for a whole day.”

After hearing these words, Nan Heng’s gaze turned cold. He took large steps, his expression frigid cold.

The next day, Ji Nuan stayed at T University as she usually did. She did not receive any news from Feng Ling for the entirety of yesterday. The calls she made were also not answered.

The batch of students under Professor Lin were about to receive a surprise quiz soon; otherwise, Ji Nuan would have headed to the condo neighborhood for a look.

Previously, when Feng Ling didn’t stay with her, she had suitable accommodations arranged in a less populated neighborhood near T University.

After completing another day of classes, the call that Ji Nuan made to Feng Ling was unanswered again.

She left T University and headed for the neighborhood Feng Ling previously stayed in.

After being close to her for a month, the sudden loss of contact from a person who was always by her side was difficult to get used to. She was also worried that Feng Ling may have met with some trouble.

That neighborhood was not far away from her condo; it was only one bus station away. Instead of taking the car, Ji Nuan headed there on foot.

To enter that neighborhood from this road, she needed to go around an entire row of buildings. In the middle, there was a narrow alley in between the buildings she had to pass through. Feng Ling had once brought Ji Nuan through that place.

When Ji Nuan arrived at the alley that was rarely used, she suddenly caught the sound of a loud collision—
