When they arrived in Wang Xuxu's room, Mo Fan unleashed his senses to scan the surroundings for clues.

Rong Sheng felt his heart aching as they walked into the room. The night had been like a dream to him, yet it came to an end immediately the next morning. Everything had changed since then.

”I don't see any clues here, she must have left her room voluntarily,” said Mo Fan.

He turned around and was about to look behind him when he almost bumped into Rong Sheng, who was lost in his thoughts.

Mo Fan said helplessly when he saw Rong Sheng's expression, ”You should stop thinking about it.”

”Wang Xuxu seemed very scared lately. I tried to talk to her, but I felt like she was purposely avoiding me. I was really worried,” said Guo Wenyi.

”What was she scared of?” asked Mo Fan.

”I don't know… but I feel like she was afraid of Zhao Pinlin,” replied Guo Wenyi.

”It must be Zhao Pinlin! He must be threatening her, that must be it!” Rong Sheng suddenly came to his senses.

It explained why Wang Xuxu would suddenly lose interest in him, even though she had already accepted him the night before. Besides, if she was only concerned about his feelings, why would she allow him to caress her body?

”Zhao Pinlin did come to me that night,” said Mu Ningxue.

”He went to you?” Guo Wenyi and Rong Sheng were startled.

Mu Ningxue briefly described the situation. Anyone could tell that Zhao Pinlin was actually trying to win Mu Ningxue's affection.

”Wang Xuxu said the same thing to me, too. She said that Zhao Pinlin isn't very reliable… she was being dead serious, it did not feel like she was joking,” Guo Wenyi took out her phone and showed Mo Fan the messages.

Rong Sheng blurted out, ”Look, what did I say, she wasn't just trying not to hurt me! Zhao Pinlin must have done something to her! He might even have something to do with her disappearance. She was too scared of Zhao Pinlin, so she decided to hide somewhere. Now that the manor is in such a terrifying situation, it's too dangerous for her to be alone! We have to find her as quickly as possible!”

Mo Fan read the texts. From the content, it seemed like Wang Xuxu was a fairly smart girl. She was able to see the true nature of Zhao Pinlin through his passionate, gentle disguise. In addition, Zhao Pinlin tried to invite Mu Ningxue to spend the night together too. It further proved Wang Xuxu's point, Zhao Pinlin was unreliable!

”Zhao Pinlin's gaze had been strange these few days,” Mu Ningxue mused aloud.

Mu Ningxue was not low in IQ either. She could clearly sense Zhao Pinlin had changed lately, especially when he was looking at her. He was not embarrassed after being rejected, nor was he trying to act calm and normal in order to preserve his ego, but seemed rather aggressive!

A few times, Mu Ningxue felt like the man was trying to eat her with his eyes. His cold grin was even implied that she would eventually fall into his hands!

Mu Ningxue was a Magician, and a lot more observant than Zhao Pinlin. The man was utterly clueless that his desire to possess Mu Ningxue was completely exposed even though he was being extremely cautious.

As such, when everyone thought there was something wrong about Zhao Pinlin, she quickly shared her observations with them.

”Strange, how so?” Mo Fan did not realize it in the first place.

”I'll briefly describe what I felt. Somehow, his gaze looked ambitious. He was watching me closely, but he didn't actually do anything,” Mu Ningxue shared.

”He was interested in you. Everyone else could easily tell it. We were all discussing it when he invited you to the manor. He thought he was good at hiding his intentions,” said Guo Wenyi.

”No one would not like a pretty and special girl like Mu Ningxue,” whispered Rong Sheng.
