His Beloved Treasure

”What you said... isn’t entirely without reason!”

Feng Fanghua felt a bit annoyed, but upon reflection, it did indeed seem to be the case.

Qin Mu went to the Qin Family, but the aunt said Qin Mingzhu went out in the afternoon, bringing many gifts with the intent to visit her sister’s home seriously, in a grand Qin Family manner.

Qin Mu’s heartbeat grew faster; they weren’t born from the same mother, so logically, it shouldn’t be like this.

But...

”Did anyone come looking for her this afternoon?”

Qin Mu thought for a while, standing at the door looking outside, and asked again.

”No, Second Miss had lunch outside and came back; she slept until after four before getting up to tidy and head out.”

The aunt thought for a moment; at that time, she was cleaning the living room and had glanced at the clock beside the TV.

”I understand! Don’t mention this to the leadership for now!”

Qin Mu instructed and then walked away quickly.

”Alright!”

The aunt stood at the door watching Qin Mu walk away, curious about what these sisters were up to—playing a game of cat and mouse?

Qin Mu drove off to continue searching for her, and then the phone rang again; she glanced down at the phone tossed on the passenger seat.

It was Wang Huanyu, Qin Mingzhu’s husband.

Surely he must have called too, and when unable to reach her, dialed Qin Mu’s number.

”Hello?”

”Qin Mu, are you with Mingzhu? I can’t get through to her phone.”

”No!”

Qin Mu replied, heart racing—she didn’t know whether to tell Wang Huanyu that she suspected Qin Mingzhu might be in trouble.

”No? I called home; the aunt said she went to your place!”

”I have a bad feeling!”

Qin Mu stopped the car, tightly gripping the steering wheel as she spoke.

She had to lower her head; the feeling of anxiety made her heart ache, and her breathing became a bit difficult.

”What? Wasn’t she going to help you solve the trouble with Bian Jingwen? How could this be? Bian Jingwen?”

”Bian Jingwen?”

Both spoke in unison, suddenly thinking of Bian Jingwen.

”They met this morning, but it wasn’t pleasant!”

Qin Mu thought quickly and said on the phone.

”It must be that woman; I’ll head over now; you go check Bian Jingwen’s apartment, and we’ll stay in contact!”

”Alright!”

Wang Huanyu was already driving from Beijing, and Qin Mu immediately dialed Luo Li’s number.

Luo Li was with Wan Dongnian after dinner and, upon seeing Qin Mu’s call, mentioned it to Wan Dongnian. She gently tucked her hair to one side, revealing her beautiful large ears as she answered the phone.

Qin Mu asked her for Bian Jingwen’s address and then immediately turned around towards Bian Jingwen’s apartment.

Hopefully, it’s Bian Jingwen, and hopefully, Bian Jingwen hasn’t done anything excessive.

Qin Mu drove up to the entrance of Bian Jingwen’s residential area, then got out of the car and went to the security room.

”Sir, hello, could I ask if Miss Bian from your community is home?”

”Miss Bian? Oh, the beauty from building three? She went out! Who are you?”

”I’m her friend; we planned to have a drink together, but now no one can find her.”

”She went out before dark and hasn’t returned yet.”

”Really? Then I’ll keep looking, maybe she’s somewhere else; thank you!”

Qin Mu thanked the middle-aged uncle and returned to her car.

The cold wind was biting outside, reddening her nose.

”Hey! Miss! She went out with a young man; perhaps they went on a date!”

The middle-aged uncle thought for a moment, came out of the security room, and knocked on Qin Mu’s car window.

Qin Mu gratefully nodded at him again, then slowly drove away from the place.

Qin Mu suddenly thought of someone and stopped the car halfway: ”Brother Yang, could you help me check a license plate number? The route from the Qin Family to the Mu Family.”

Yang Bo had already finished work and was at home having dinner with his parents; upon hearing this, he set down his chopsticks and, while walking out, said: ”A Qin Family car?”

”Yes! Qin Mingzhu said she was coming to my place for dinner; she hasn’t shown up, and her phone can’t be reached! So I’m asking you to help check the surveillance on that route, see if she took the road to our place.”

”Okay, don’t worry; I know all the Qin Family cars, I’ll handle it.”

”Thank you!”

Qin Mu expressed her thanks excitedly, but her voice was already a bit hoarse.

She suddenly felt like crying, but since Mingzhu hadn’t been found, she dared not show too much emotion; all she could do was maintain a positive mindset and wait.
