1250 I Want to Make You Stay 128 (1/2)

He had already learned quite a bit about the Mu family and the current situation of his ex-girlfriend's life.

I can't believe she'd actually be so cruel to her own daughter.

He picked Mu Wansheng up and brought her away from the Mu family home.

However, he did not have a place of his own and was currently staying at An Xiaoning's house. He could not bring Mu Wansheng back with him either.

Thus, he decided to bring her to the old house where his family used to reside.

He was born in a village and came from a humble background, which was also the very reason why he was so vulnerable to the harm others had caused him. After he had met with the mishap, his father moved away with his sister and had never once returned to the old family home.

He would not have thought of coming to this place if it weren't because it was nighttime.

He wished he could kill Mu Wansheng, at the thought of her being the only child of his ex-girlfriend. However, he decided to take her to the house after recalling An Xiaoning's words.

The gate of his old house was locked tightly, and there were weeds all over the backyard of the abandoned house. He pried the lock open and entered, guiding himself using a torchlight. He then dropped Mu Wansheng onto the couch. As soon as she fell onto the couch, the thick layers of dust sprung up high into the air.

He could not stay here any longer. Just as he was about to leave, Mu Wansheng's mobile phone began to ring.

Zong Jingyi turned around and searched her for her mobile phone. He unlocked it to see that her wallpaper was a photo of her and another man behaving intimately, and the contact that was calling her was saved as ”My Dearest”— the exact same way his ex-girlfriend used to address him. He kept his eyes fixed onto the screen with his temples throbbing.

He smashed the mobile phone onto the ground and crushed it beneath his foot, causing the ringing to cease abruptly. Zong Jingyi then stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket and changed his mind.

He picked Mu Wansheng up again and strode out of the house.

He zoomed away in his car and sped toward a remote hill where there was not a single soul in sight. He then dragged her out of the car and dumped her into the woods, not forgetting to leave a note in her pocket before leaving.

Back in Wei Ni Estate, Fan Shixin was monitoring Zong Jingyi's whereabouts using the GPS tracking system. He said to An Xiaoning, ”Young Madam, what is that Zong Jingyi doing in such a dilapidated place? Did he kill someone and decided to dump the corpse there?”

”No idea. Shixin, you and Xiao Bai go to this location later to see if there's anything unusual.”

”Okay.”

....

When Mu Wansheng regained her consciousness, she was greeted with pitch darkness before her eyes. She was lying motionlessly on the ground with tears streaming down her face incessantly. She wanted to move but could not gather the energy to do so.

When a bird started chirping all of a sudden, she got a huge fright and curled up into a ball.

The first thought that came to her mind was, Did my family dump me in this remote jungle?

She subconsciously moved her hand inside her pocket and fumbled about for her mobile phone. She heaved a sigh of relief the moment she felt it. However, her relief was short-lived, and she tensed up again immediately the moment she saw that her mobile phone had been shattered.

There was no way she could call for help at all.

Not a single chance.

Her immense fear and desire to live compelled her to bear with the pain and continue crawling away.

However, there was barely enough space for her to move about, and she felt as if she had been drowned in the vast ocean, struggling to swim to the surface of the water but to no avail.

Unable to contain her agony at the thought of her mother's actions, Mu Wansheng burst into tears. Why is it so difficult for me to pursue my own happiness!?!

Just as she was weeping and bawling incessantly, a sudden light shone in her direction. Mu Wansheng squinted to see that a car was being driven toward her.

Her joy was soon replaced by fear and panic.

It must be those people who had dumped me here!
