CHAPTER 254: CHAPTER 254

Later, the kidnappers discovered that Yu Dingding was using her cellphone and confiscated it.

Despite that Ye Chen called again, wanting to ask Yu Dingding what urgent matter needed her help in the middle of the night, Yu Dingding couldn’t answer the phone anymore.

So now, the person Yu Dingding hated and least wanted to see was Ye Chen.

Jiang Moxi knew Yu Dingding was feeling upset, all she could do was temporarily set these matters aside and contacted Scavenger to dispose of the four bodies.

However, what she didn’t know was that Scavenger, Jing Yan, was tightly pursued by Fu Youhan’s men.

Just as he had set up the bodies and started to douse them with gasoline to burn, Fu Youhan’s men arrived.

Jing Yan naturally couldn’t just surrender, so he left the burning bodies behind.

Chi Jing commanded his men to split into two groups, some went after Scavenger, while he stayed with a few brothers to inspect what Scavenger was up to.

They extinguished the fire and discovered four severely burnt bodies inside.

The key point was, on the forehead of each body, there was a distinctly visible plum blossom-shaped hole.

Therefore, Chi Jing immediately reported the matter to Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan was puzzled after hearing the report, "Who would be worth Dead Ghost going to such great lengths for?"

On the other end of the telephone, Chi Jing said, "Unable to find any other clues, the fire rendered the bodies unrecognizable."

After pondering for a moment, Fu Youhan said, "First, send the bodies to the laboratory, compare the DNA, and confirm the identities."

When ending the call, Fu Youhan felt somewhat heavy-hearted, even several cigarettes couldn’t ease his mind.

He thought for a while, then still took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Moxi.

At that moment, Jiang Moxi was at the hospital.

Upon seeing Fu Youhan’s call, she hurriedly ran out of the ward to answer, "What’s up?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to see what you were doing."

The man’s voice was somewhat husky and low, yet inexplicably charming.

Listening to Fu Youhan’s voice, Jiang Moxi felt the combative spirit she had just a while ago, wanting to drag down everything in the world as funeral goods, substantially fading in that instant.

Even her voice and tone softened quite a bit.

"Dealing with some things. What about you? Did you get Miss Fu home?"

Right, when they left the private hot spring hotel today, Fu Wangning said she had come in Fu Yiming’s car, but Fu Yiming had left earlier, and she wanted to leave in Fu Youhan’s car.

While Fu Wangning was negotiating with them, Jiang Moxi and Ling Ye, Ling Hua had left first.

Fu Youhan still remembered that Jiang Moxi left especially carefreely back then, without even looking back.

Now hearing her take the initiative to ask about this, Fu Youhan couldn’t help but chuckle, "So you do care? I thought Miss Jiang was so generous that you’d even share your man with someone else?"

Fu Youhan seldom teased Jiang Moxi like this, which caught Jiang Moxi off guard, making her ears feel as if they were burned by the phone.

"Who is my man!" Jiang Moxi gritted her teeth.

Perhaps Jiang Moxi’s reaction was adorable, making Fu Youhan want to tease her further.

"If I’m not, would you let me do that to you?"

When he uttered the last two words, Fu Youhan’s voice was husky, highly reminiscent of a certain moment.

Jiang Moxi blushed, slightly annoyed.

But the man on the other end seemed to sense Jiang Moxi was about to get angry first, not even waiting for Jiang Moxi’s response before he spoke again.

"Alright, I had Chi Jing take her home first, Ye Chen and I continued to drink the newly released Biluochun tea at the hot spring hotel afterwards."

Fu Youhan also said, "Little vinegar jar, feeling better now?"

A man of Fu Youhan’s age, much more charismatic than those youths who have just stepped out of school.

Especially when he’s willing to patiently coax a woman, his charm is unmatched.

Jiang Moxi was somewhat discomfited by his rare tenderness, "I wasn’t jealous at all!"

Just hearing Youhan mention Ye Chen earlier made Jiang Moxi feel quite bitter inside.

Yu Dingding was bullied to such an extent by people Qin Shuang found, and Ye Chen knew nothing about it, even happily drinking this year’s newly released Biluochun Tea – how ironic!

"I’ll deal with some matters first, we can talk more tonight."

Jiang Moxi didn’t want to continue the conversation, fearing her mood might cause her to reveal everything to Youhan.

She hastily ended the call, while Youhan thought she was just shy from his teasing.

Thinking of her embarrassed and annoyed expression, Youhan actually quite liked it.

As he put away his phone, he even thought about teasing Jiang Moxi again when he got home tonight.

As for that heavy feeling he had earlier, it seemed like he had completely tossed it to the back of his mind...

*

When Jiang Moxi finished the call and returned to Yu Dingding’s hospital room, Yu Dingding, like a frightened animal, suddenly hid in the corner of the room.

She didn’t even have time to put on her shoes, curling up in that corner shivering.

"Dingding!"

"Dingding, it’s me!"

Jiang Moxi saw how uneasy Yu Dingding looked and felt extremely heartbroken.

"Moxi, it’s really you..."

Upon seeing her, Yu Dingding’s eyes reddened,

Jiang Moxi squatted down and embraced Yu Dingding.

"It’s okay, everything will pass."

"Mm, I believe you." Yu Dingding said this but tears slowly slid down from the corners of her eyes.

If she hadn’t placed her last plea for help with Ye Chen and had instead sought out Jiang Moxi, she believed Jiang Moxi wouldn’t have let her endure such agony.

Unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in this world.

"Get some sleep..."

Jiang Moxi brought Yu Dingding back to the bed, coaxing her to sleep.

But Yu Dingding struggled to fall asleep, and in the end, the doctor had to administer a sedative before she fell into a groggy slumber.

The doctor told Jiang Moxi, "Miss Yu will sleep till morning with this injection. You should go back and rest for now, and if there’s any issue, our medical staff will contact you."

The doctor also mentioned, "With such incidents, one cannot rush. The subsequent psychological recovery period will particularly require family support. You mustn’t break down at this time."

Lastly, the doctor advised it would be best to report to the police, as they had retrieved bodily fluids from those four individuals and could nab them without error.

But Jiang Moxi refused because she had already ensured those four individuals would never see tomorrow’s sun again.

When Jiang Moxi returned to Tianqin Bay, Youhan was already home.

He opened a bottle of red wine, and seeing Jiang Moxi come through the door, he lifted his wine glass and asked, "How about a glass?"

"Not drinking tonight."

Jiang Moxi thought back to last night, when they indulged at the hot spring hotel while Yu Dingding was being bullied by those hoodlums.

How helpless and desperate Yu Dingding must have felt then?

"What’s wrong? Still angry, jealous one?"

Youhan was somewhat surprised and simply embraced her from behind holding the glass of red wine.

"No, I just want to stay sober tonight."

Jiang Moxi felt that Yu Dingding’s current emotional state was awful, which might drive her to extremes.

Thus, she needed to remain sober now, ready to prevent any rash actions from Yu Dingding.

"Why stay sober? You..."

Just as Youhan was about to ask something, Jiang Moxi’s phone suddenly rang.
