As time flew, the weather got colder. Han Qing and Yan returned to that clinic again a few days later. Fortunately, the flat-headed man assured that the man in bandages had woken up and the doctor gave him a thorough check. However, they were unable to remove the bandages as it would take another while.
Yan and Han Qing looked at each other before entering the ward. When they entered the ward, the flat-headed man whispered to them, “He was awake, but he is now asleep.”
Yan thought about it for a while before she walked toward the man, waving at him. “Young Master Ye?” she called.
For some reason, Yan’s voice triggered the sleeping man. His eyes fluttered open abruptly, giving Yan, who was close to him, a shock before making her cry out while taking a few steps back. After that, a pair of big hands supported her back. Yan looked back and realized that they were Han Qing’s hands. She instantly gave him an appreciative look, but before she could react, he withdrew his hands and spoke coldly, “Stand properly.” Yan then hurriedly stood straight.
Suddenly, the man in the bandages sat up on the bed like he was agitated. He was dumbfounded to see Yan, but he quickly reacted to it.
After Yan stood straight, she laid her eyes on the man and both of their eyes locked on each other. In that moment, she recognized the man’s identity, but she dared not confirm it, so she stared at him while carefully coming up with some questions.
Before she thought even further, the man opened his mouth first. “Young Master Ye. Where is Young Master Ye?” His identity was revealed the moment his voice came out of his mouth, which made Han Qing frown.
“Y-You’re Xiao Su?” Yan exclaimed.
Xiao Su nodded, forcefully getting down from the bed without notice of his words. He fell on the floor and Yan went over to help him up. “Calm down. There are wounds all over your body, and you’ve just woken up. Do you want to die?”
Xiao Su grabbed hold of her hand and said anxiously, “The plane had an accident and I landed with Young Master Ye. Is he alright?”
Yan went quiet for a while before answering him, “We only found you. As for Young Master Ye, he hasn’t been found yet. And also… we thought that you were Young Master Ye.”
Han Qing, who listened to their conversation from the side, frowned. Fortunately, after he realized that there was something wrong with the man in bandages, he did not stop the search for Ye Moxuan. That was why those men were still searching for Ye Moxuan, even though they whispered among themselves in private that he had already been found—so what else were they searching for?
“What?” As Xiao Su listened to her, he was overwhelmed by his emotions and fainted, falling into her arms.
Yan was rendered speechless. “What the hell? How can you just faint after you’ve regained consciousness? Hey! Wake up! Do you know where Young Master Ye’s exact location is? F*ck!” Yan accidentally swore.
After she swore, she suddenly realized that Han Qing was in the ward too and became embarrassed. She was unable to lift Xiao Su up and could not just simply move him due to the wounds on his body. Therefore, she looked at Han Qing. “Can you help me lift him up?”
Han Qing went up to help her with an indifferent face. Then, he called the doctor over before they went out of the ward.
“What should we do? Xiao Su is Young Master Ye’s assistant. Now, we’ve found the assistant, but Young Master Ye is still nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, we didn’t tell Muzi about this.”
“We’ll keep on finding.” What else could they do? The only way was to continue the search.
Yan had a look at the ward while her heart began to sob. The flat-headed man said that he has a deep cut on his face. Does that mean… he is disfigured forever? All of a sudden, she felt pity for him.
…
Han Muzi waited day after day and did not sleep or eat well, but her spirit was still fortunately okay. In the morning, Su Jiu visited her. “Even though you told me before not to visit you with President Han, but this time, I have to come.”
Han Muzi stared blankly at her without any response.
“If I were to tell you that you need to pull yourself together because your company’s employees are waiting for you, will you agree?” Su Jiu suddenly asked.
Han Muzi showed no reaction still.
Su Jiu remained quiet for a moment before saying, “This is expected. It looks like without Ye Moxuan, you don’t even want your company, but what if… it’s his company?”
When she heard her words, Han Muzi was startled and she finally looked at her. “What do you mean?” she asked.
“Even though your wedding didn’t go as planned, I know that both of you were once married to each other. Now, Ye Moxuan is missing and someone is using the chance to take away all of his fortune and power. Will you help him protect it?”
Han Muzi’s eyebrows frowned even deeper. Why do I feel like Su Jiu is saying… that someone is trying to snatch Moxuan’s company away? Who in the world would snatch away other people’s stuff just like that?
Han Muzi’s expression lacked warmth as she sighed. “We just can’t find him for the time being, so who would cast their eyes on his company?”
Su Jiu smiled before she continued, “Naturally, it would be his brother from a different mother.”
What? Ye Linhan?
“So, what you’re saying is… that he is trying to get back to Ye Group?” Regarding Ye Moxuan and Ye Linhan, Han Muzi actually knew very little of it as she chose not to delve deep into it. However, she sensed that Ye Moxuan hated his half-brother to the ends of the world from the emotions under his eyes and his undisguised tone whenever he talked about him. The grudge between them was not just a simple division between the legal wife and the mistress—there was something more to it.
“How could that be?” Han Muzi murmured. “Is Ye Linhan… really that kind of a person?”
“Then what kind of a person do you think he is? He wants to replace Ye Moxuan right after he had an accident. What do you think?”
Shivers went through Han Muzi’s body, as if someone had just poured a bucket of cold water on her. If… Ye Linhan really wants to replace him, then… I really am disappointed in him. At this point in time where Ye Moxuan met with an accident, he actually wants to take over his position. Isn’t that just despicable?
“This time, I’ve gathered enough information about the situation. You are Ye Moxuan’s wife and the only one who can save the situation at this time. If we are too late, I’m afraid…” Su Jiu trailed off, but Han Muzi knew clearly what she meant.
She knew that she could no longer stay here and do nothing. She wanted to wait for Ye Moxuan to return, but she must take care of what had belonged to him in the meantime. Nobody can take advantage of his absence by attempting to replace him. Nobody!
“I won’t force you. I will give you a day to consider and I’ll come over to see you tomorrow.” After Su Jiu finished, she smiled gently as she prepared to leave.
Then, Han Muzi lifted her head and her calm eyes landed on her face. “I don’t need to consider it. You can help me buy my plane tickets now.”
Su Jiu was speechless. Even though she was taken aback, she had expected Han Muzi to arrive at such a decision, so she nodded. “Alright. I will help to pass the message to President Han. And also, Miss Muzi… I can see you really love Young Master Ye.”
