Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The incident happened in the afternoon. They had never imagined that something like this would happen at home.

Everyone rushed to the crime scene in no time.

“Is the Old Mistress being looked after?”

The first thing that Yuan Xuan did when he arrived at the scene was to ask about the Old Mistress. That was because she was already so old, and he was the eldest grandchild of all. She was extremely fond of Yuan Xuan, but Yuan Zhe still had a special place in her heart as her oldest grandchild.

“She’s settled down already. The Old Mistress had some problems dealing with the shock. She was crying earlier but she just wants to stay in bed now. The Eldest Young Mistress also cried herself to exhaustion several times...”

Yan Jun gave a brief report on the whole situation.

Yuan Xuan nodded. His handsome face was faintly clouded over. He said flatly, “Go and call Doctor Bai’s medical team over. Make the necessary arrangements for them to stay in the Yuan household these few days so that they don’t have to leave. Also, the food and water that enters the Yuan household must undergo strict testing. Only then can it be consumed after being thoroughly cooked through. Get several capable individuals to supervise this matter.

“Pick out a few of the original servants and ensure that only one servant remains in each mansion. The rest will be interrogated and their reemployment will only be discussed after that.”

Yan Jun took note of Yuan Xuan’s instructions and set about his tasks immediately.

Mu Chenyan heard everything clearly from the sidelines. Yuan Xuan was worried that another poisoning case would happen in the future.

Soon, Jiu’er and Butler Fu were the only servants left in Upper Mansion. Ah Fu remained in Hibiscus Garden while Peace Mansion and Tranquility Mansion were respectively serviced by two servants that Butler Fu had raised since they were young. They would only consider taking back the other servants once the case was closed.

Mu Chenyan had initially planned to return to the station with Wu Huai and Su Qingcheng. She had just started walking to the doorway with her equipment when Yuan Xuan came forward and grabbed hold of her. He whispered, “Are you still going back there today?”

Mu Chenyan glanced at the police officers around her. Some of them were busy collecting evidence and placing them in the bags. The others were either taking photos or sealing off areas. The forensic investigator had already set up a team to bring the corpse back for the autopsy.

Some of Mu Chenyan’s colleagues became aware of the two of them when they saw Yuan Xuan pulling her aside.

Those who knew about their relationship thought, ‘Third Young Master Yuan is naturally handsome while Miss Mu is enchantingly beautiful. They’re truly a match made in heaven. Moreover, the Yuan Family is extremely influential. Now that one of his competitors has kicked the bucket, the Third Young Master has become even more unstoppable in Luo Hai!’

However, there were others like Zhang Xin who were unaware of these details. When he saw the imposing man forcefully grabbing his goddess, he could not help but curse inwardly, ‘Sh*t! Rich b*stards like him are truly shameless. How could he flirt with a beautiful woman now when such terrible things have happened to his family? He was even daring enough to try his luck with a beauty from the criminal police department. Would he simply seduce any gorgeous lady that he saw on the streets?’

There was a trace of annoyance on Mu Chenyan’s face. She sneakily used more force than she needed and attempted to push the man’s large hands off her. She had not expected that he would tighten his grip.

“I have to go back there because I’m still on the clock,” Mu Chenyan replied quietly.

Yuan Xuan’s striking face darkened slightly. “I’m worried about you leaving! This case involves the Yuan Family but I don’t know which of our enemies are trying to harm us!”

Although he usually detested Yuan Zhe, he was still one of the Yuan Family’s successors in the end.

Yuan Zhe’s sudden death was not all just a pleasant surprise to Yuan Xuan. It had become also another source of anxiety for him.

“I want to follow this case. I’m not a police officer so I don’t have to worry about arousing suspicion. Why would they harm me if they’re only concerned about the Yuan Family?”

Mu Chenyan had no idea why Yuan Xuan was suddenly allowing himself to be swayed by his emotions.

“I know that you don’t have to worry about that. But now that something had happened in our family, my heart will be extremely empty if you leave my sight. I don’t want the incident that occurred three years ago to happen again!”

Yuan Xuan was not being entirely irrational. Two strange murder cases had happened within these few years. The first case was the murder of “Qinger” that Mu Chenyan was falsely accused of committing. He did not know who would suffer from today’s murder.

Only then did Mu Chenyan realize that Yuan Xuan was worried about this. She smiled gently and said, “I’m a different person now. You don’t have to worry. I won’t be so stupid as to let others frame me again...”

Yuan Xuan pulled her into his arms in one swift motion. He did not care that other people were looking at him. He ignored the struggles the woman in his arms was putting up as well. “Chenyan, I’m sorry!”

The man’s voice was hoarse but seductive. This electrifying male voice had to belong to Yuan Xuan. Warm air left his lips as he caressed her forehead.

Mu Chenyan was stunned. She could not understand why Yuan Xuan had suddenly said these weird things.

“I didn’t protect you properly in the past! If I could turn back time, I would definitely change my decisions. I wouldn’t allow other people to take you away during our wedding! I was selfish!”

Yuan Xuan’s sounded a bit like he was choking back a sob.

Today’s events had unearthed the uneasiness in his heart. If this had not happened, he would probably have trouble mentioning the death of “Qinger” and the fact that Mu Chenyan was framed and dragged away on her wedding day.

He was certainly repenting for neglecting his duties and being selfish.

Shao Yibai was right. He had paid a hefty price to get rid of Mu Feng. Basically, he had disregarded all costs.

Certain things had crossed his mind today. If he allowed Mu Chenyan to leave him again, his world would probably crumble to pieces...

“I can’t leave you! Otherwise, I’ll truly die...”

This man, who was usually so reserved and composed, had openly expressed his deepest and most sincere feelings today.

Things like restraint, indifference, and arrogance could go to hell!

He had lost her for two years. This had forced her to experience so much suffering. She was a thorn in his flesh that could never be removed!

Mu Chenyan had no chance to breathe when he held her tightly in his arms, but her heart was filled with warmth. She could not help but to wrap her little hands around his waist.

The coldness, doubts, and confusion that lingered in her heart for a long time slowly vanished in this man’s passionate embrace. Expressing himself had never been his strong suit. If he had not gotten upset earlier, he would probably have kept this in his heart for the rest of his life!

“Yuan Xuan, I’d also die if I left you! So don’t worry, I won’t throw myself into the deep end like an idiot. I’m only following this case because it’s part of my job. It’ll be fine!”

Mu Chenyan buried her face against his chest. She did not care whether her colleagues were looking at them. She simply longed for his warmth.

This scene greatly shocked the onlookers.

Zhang Xin stared at his coworker in shock. This young man’s reaction was slightly delayed in comparison to everyone else. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind. His goddess probably treated him coldly all the time because there was something between her and Third Young Master Yuan!

However, their tender moment was suddenly interrupted.

The couple heard a woman’s mournful voice while they were still intimately intertwined. “Yuan Zhe... is dead?”

Mu Chenyan turned around and saw that Wen Ya was still dressed in her office wear. Her bony figure looked weak, helpless, and frightened.

Her ashen face was completely blank. She shot a questioning glance at Mu Chenyan when she saw her and Yuan Xuan.

Mu Chenyan walked over and held Wen Ya’s hand. “Wen Ya, Yuan Zhe’s dead. His body is in the car. They’re taking him away for an autopsy...”

Wen Ya still seemed to be in shock. It looked like she was walking on cotton when she took shaky steps towards the corpse on the stretcher.

Mu Chenyan could tell that Wen Ya was extremely conflicted. This man who had hit, tortured, and abused her had suddenly died. It was all over. He was still her husband though...

Wen Ya lifted the white cloth and stared at Yuan Zhe’s twisted face. Her shoulders trembled violently. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and ran to the Japanese banana tree. She sorrowfully wept until she lost her voice. She sobbed and threw up the food she just ate...
