Chapter 1222 Insight into everything
The car finally stopped in front of a hidden private villa. The old man of the Cheng family had been waiting for a long time. He was over fifty years old, but still energetic, with a pair of shrewd eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"Yunchuan, Mubai, they're here." Mr. Cheng spoke in a gentle tone with a kind smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the depth in his eyes.
"Grandpa." Cheng Yunchuan called out lightly, without any hint of intimacy in his tone.
Master Cheng didn't care. He just turned his gaze to Jiang Mubai, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Girl Mubai, you are getting more and more beautiful. Thank you for your hard work this time."
Jiang Mubai nodded slightly and responded politely: "Grandpa Cheng, you're welcome."
"Come on, everyone come in." Mr. Cheng turned and walked into the villa, followed closely by Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai.
In the villa, a sumptuous dinner had already been prepared. Master Cheng asked the two to sit down. While serving the dishes to Jiang Mubai, he asked about her recent situation with concern.
Jiang Mubai answered one by one, behaving properly and flawlessly, while Cheng Yunchuan watched quietly from the side, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
After dinner, Mr. Cheng called Cheng Yunchuan to the study.
"Yunchuan, what exactly do you think about Miss Mu Bai?" Mr. Cheng asked straight to the point in a serious tone.
Cheng Yunchuan raised his lips with a playful smile: "What do you think, Grandpa?"
"I don't care what you are thinking, but you have to remember that you can't play with Mu Bai at will. The Qin family has already started to take action." Master Cheng said in a heavy tone.
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were stern: "Qin family? What do they want to do?"
Master Cheng sighed: "They want to bring Mu Bai back. After all, she is the lost bloodline of the Qin family."
"Oh, what right do they have?" Cheng Yunchuan sneered.
"Because she is the only heir of the Qin family." Master Cheng said in a heavy tone.
"Yunchuan, I know you have feelings for Mu Bai, but the Qin family is not someone we can easily provoke."
"Grandpa, you worry too much." Cheng Yunchuan said calmly.
"I won't let anyone take her away from me."
Master Cheng looked at him deeply, and finally sighed: "I hope so."
Outside the study, Jiang Mubai leaned against the wall and heard the conversation between the two clearly.
The words Qin family and heir exploded in her mind like thunder.
She finally understood why Cheng Yunchuan was so obsessed with her and why he knew so much about her.
It turned out that he already knew her true identity.
Jiang Mubai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes had become extremely firm.
The Qin family, the Cheng family, and the entertainment industry will all become pawns in her revenge.
She turned and left, her figure disappearing into the night. In the study, Cheng Yunchuan looked at the direction she left, with a meaningful smile on his face. This game had just begun.
Late at night, Jiang Mubai returned to her apartment. She turned on her computer and her ten fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard. Lines of code poured down like a waterfall.
She wanted to find out what kind of existence the Qin family was.
Suddenly, a message popped up on the computer screen: "J, long time no see."
Jiang Mubai's pupils suddenly shrank, this name, this tone.
"K?" she responded tentatively.
"It's me." The other party replied quickly.
"It seems that you have recovered your memory."
Jiang Mubai's heart was in turmoil. K was her former partner in the hacker organization and her only friend in this world.
"Where have you been all these years?" Jiang Mubai typed these words tremblingly.
The other party replied: "It's a long story, anyway, I'm back now. J, are you ready? It's time for us to get back on track."
Jiang Mubai looked at the words on the screen, a sneer slowly formed at the corner of his mouth. The fun was just beginning.
A sudden calm
Jiang Mubai did not reply to K immediately. Her fingertips hovered above the keyboard for a long time without moving. The appearance of K disrupted her original plan and made her realize that she might be involved in a bigger conspiracy.
She needs time to sort out her thoughts before making a decision on the next step.
On the other side, in Cheng Yunchuan's villa, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the night view of the city, gently shaking a goblet filled with red wine in his hand.
K's appearance was also beyond his expectations. He knew that K and Jiang Mubai had a close relationship, and he also knew what kind of impact K's return would have on Jiang Mubai.
"J, what are you hesitating about?" K's message popped up again.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and replied, "I need time to think about it."
“Okay, but not too long. Some things can’t wait any longer,” K replied.
Jiang Mubai turned off the computer, walked to the window, and looked at the flashing neon lights outside, feeling mixed emotions.
K's appearance made her feel uneasy, but also a little excited. Perhaps this was her chance to escape from the current situation.
In the next few days, there was an eerie calm between Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan. Both of them had ulterior motives, but tacitly kept them secret.
Undercurrent
The Qin family finally couldn't hold back and sent someone to contact Jiang Mubai.
"Miss Jiang, our master wants to see you." A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.
Jiang Mubai held the phone in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Who is your master?"
"Mr. Qin." The other party replied.
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Tell him I'm busy."
"Miss Jiang, our master said that if you don't go, he will come to invite you personally." There was a hint of threat in the other party's tone.
Jiang Mubai hung up the phone and threw it on the sofa. Is the Qin family finally going to take action?
Hongmen Banquet
When Cheng Yunchuan learned that the Qin family had contacted Jiang Mubai, he rushed to her apartment immediately.
"What does the Qin family want you to do?" There was a hint of worry in his tone.
Jiang Mubai told him what happened, and said calmly, "They want me to go back."
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were stern: "You agreed?"
Jiang Mubai shook his head: "Not yet."
Cheng Yunchuan said firmly: "Don't go, the Qin family is not a good place."
Jiang Mubai looked at him with complicated eyes: "I know, but I have to go."
"Why?" Cheng Yunchuan was puzzled.
"There are some things I must figure out." Jiang Mubai said in a firm tone.
“Only in this way can I truly control my own destiny.”
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her and finally sighed: "I'll go with you."
Jiang Mubai did not refuse. She knew that this trip to the Qin family was destined to be a Hongmen Banquet.
The next day, Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan went to the Qin family's old house together.
The old house is located in the suburbs. It is an antique courtyard with lush flowers and trees and a quiet environment.
However, beneath this seemingly calm surface, there are endless undercurrents.
As soon as the two entered the hall, they felt a depressing atmosphere. Old Master Qin sat in the main seat with a gloomy face and sharp eyes.
