Mu Han glanced at the bodyguard before looking down at Mu Wan, who was in the bodyguard’s arms. Then, the anger on Mu Han’s face eased slightly.

She actually fainted?

That was good too. She would leave her in this room and let her fend for herself!

“Lock her up in the room on the first floor!”

Now that she had locked Mu Wan in the room, she wanted to see how Mu Wan would escape!

Meanwhile, Ah Hui knew that this family was scheming. He looked at Mu Han and then at the unconscious Mu Wan in his arms. He knew that they did not want Second Miss to leave this house alive.

With Young Master Mu Chen in prison, no one in this world would care about Second Miss and her life anymore.

“Missy, Second Miss is injured. Should we get a doctor…”

“Ah Hui, mind your status and only say what you should. Don’t say what you shouldn’t say. In fact, you should shut your mouth!” Mu Han’s gaze was sharp. It was obvious that she was warning Ah Hui not to reveal this matter.

Knowing that Ah Hui used to be Mu Wan’s personal bodyguard, there was bound to be a master-servant relationship between them. If he was so concerned about Mu Wan, he might ruin Mu Han’s plans at any time.

Then, she turned around and said to the other two bodyguards, “Lock her in. No one is allowed to approach this place!”

After giving the order, Mu Han turned to look at Ah Hui. “From today onwards, you are to guard the front yard well. You are not allowed to step foot in here!”

Then, she glanced at Ah Hui and left without looking back.

When she left, she smirked triumphantly.

Once Mu Wan died, no one would snatch Jiang Ziheng from her anymore.

Meanwhile, Ah Hui stood at the same spot and watched Mu Wan being carried into the house by two bodyguards. He could not help but tighten his hands that were hanging by his sides.

He wanted to save Mu Wan. However, as a bodyguard, he had to listen to Mu Qingsong and his family. Thus, he could not save Second Miss.

Looking at Mu Wan from afar, Ah Hui turned around and left. At the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a glaring light on the ground.

Ai Hui frowned and walked closer to find a necklace with a black swan pendant.

This necklace… seemed to have been worn by Second Miss all along.

Ah Hui picked up the necklace and held it tightly in his hand. Then, he put it in his pocket and left.

…

Mu Wan was thrown onto a bed in the quiet and old room. She was unconscious and there was a deep wound on her calf. Blood was still flowing from the wound. It was a ghastly sight.

Night fell.

The entire manor was enveloped by the night, while the lights were mottled and scattered. However, the lights made the manor seem even more dazzling and bustling.

At the Imperial View Manor.

Xiao Bi looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 9 pm, but Miss Mu was not back yet. Should she tell Mr. Gu about this?

As she was hesitating, she heard the sound of an engine coming from the door. She quickly went over.

However, the person she saw was not Mu Wan, but Gu Tingyuan.

“Mr. Gu, you’re back.”

As Gu Tingyuan entered, the temperature in the living room instantly dropped by a few degrees.

Xiao Bi took the suit jacket from his hands. She needed to jog to keep up with Gu Tingyuan’s swift and decisive pace.

She wanted to report Miss Mu’s absence, but Gu Tingyuan spoke first.

“Step back.”

These two words were very straightforward.

Xiao Bi did not dare to take another step forward. She could only stop at the staircase and watch Gu Tingyuan as he went upstairs. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared around the corner.

Mr. Gu had already given the order. At this moment, Xiao Bi naturally could not take another step up the stairs.

Forget it. Mr. Gu would probably realize that Miss Mu wasn’t around later.
