Marry Me Quick

Chapter 567

After Ziyue sent Xiyi off, she stood in the yard for a while before returning to the bedroom.

But when she arrived at the bedroom, Muchen was nowhere to be seen.

Ziyue was shocked. "Qin Muchen!"

No one answered her. The bathroom was empty too.

Muchen was still lying on the bed when she went out with Xiyi. Where did he disappear to in such a short time? Where could he have gone?

Ziyue started panicking.

She turned around and quickly ran out. But just as she was about to open the door, she saw a figure standing by the door, towering over her.

She raised her head and saw Muchen.

"Where did you go?"

Muchen asked before she could ask him.

Ziyue looked at his emotionless face. She took a moment to regain herself before answering, "I was sending Doctor Mo off."

"What did he say?" Muchen raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were cold as ice.

Ziyue pursed her lips and answered, "Nothing."

She noticed Muchen narrowing his eyes right after she answered him.

He always acted like this before he was about to get angry.

"I asked him about your health condition," Ziyue explained briefly.

Then, she raised her eyes and stared into Muchen's eyes. There was a complicated look in his dark and mysterious eyes.

Ziyue suddenly thought about what Xiyi had said. Her heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Where did you go?"

"I went to meet a friend," Muchen answered. He did not seem eager to return to the bedroom.

A hint of doubt flashed across Ziyue's face. She could feel that something was amiss about Muchen's tone. She asked, "A friend?"

Where was he going to see his friend? He was at home!

Perhaps Xiyi's words had made her more cautious because she now felt everything Muchen did and said was weird.

A dim light sparkled in Muchen's eyes. "You know him too. Let me bring you to meet him."

"Who is it?"

Muchen did not answer her. He pulled her hand and walked downstairs.

Ziyue feared she would aggravate his injury if she struggled, so she followed him obsequiously.

His grip was so tight one could never tell that he was wounded.

Nevertheless, Ziyue could not help but worry. "Slow down."

Muchen ignored her. He brought her to the basement.

When they reached the door of the basement, Muchen finally stopped.

Ziyue was astounded when she saw the door of the basement. "Why… Why have you brought me here?"

Muchen gave an evil smile. He stretched his hand out to push the basement door.

It was pitch dark in the basement. Ziyue squinted her eyes, trying to adjust to the surrounding.

The next second, she heard a flick of the switch, and the basement was instantly lit up.

The basement was sparsely furnished. There were a few chairs, stools, and some miscellaneous

belongings.

Amid the belongings was a person who got bound to a chair.

Ziyue slowly approached the person. He looked familiar to her.

The person slowly raised his head as she walked towards him.

When Ziyue saw his face, she could not help but gasp in shock. "Shichu!"

"Hah!"

Muchen snorted.

Ziyue turned to Muchen and stared at him with disbelief. She stretched her finger and pointed at Shichu, "Why did you tie him up?"

Muchen ignored Ziyue. He walked towards Shichu and asked calmly. "Are you going to tell me what I need to know today?"

Ziyue noticed Shichu's pale complexion. She marched towards Muchen furiously and grabbed his arm. She demanded, "What do you want him to tell you?"

Muchen continued to ignore Ziyue. He went on with his interrogation with Shichu. "Who is Lagos?"

"Are you crazy? Why would he know Lagos?" Ziyue could tell that Shichu had already been locked up in this place for a few days by the poor state he was in now.

Muchen sneered. "Am I crazy?"

"If I were crazy, this lover of yours would be crazy too! Why don't you ask him if he knows Lagos? See if he dares tell you about it!"

Muchen leaned closely towards Ziyue. He looked the same as she remembered. But the look on his face was menacing, and his voice was icy cold.

Ziyue could not help but shiver.

"That's nonsense!" Ziyue's first response was to refute the accusation that Shichu was her lover.

"Oh? Is he not your lover?" Muchen laughed.

Muchen was handsome and usually had a charming smile. But one could tell that the smile on his face was merely a façade.

"We should talk about this in private." Ziyue glanced at Shichu, then tried to bring Muchen away from the basement.

She did not want to fight with Muchen in front of Shichu.

"Why should we? Are you afraid that he would deny his ties with Gricy?" Muchen leaned into her and stroked her face. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

His palm felt rough but carried a tinge of warmth.

Ziyue could not help but startle for a while.

However, the next moment, Muchen turned around and aimed a hefty kick at Shichu.

"Cough…" Shichu fell to the ground and started coughing profusely.

"What's wrong with you?" Ziyue widened her eyes in shock. She quickly rushed towards Shichu to help him up.

Shichu was tied to the chair, so he could not support himself, and it took Ziyue a lot of effort to help him up.

After she helped Shichu up, she started to untie her.

Nevertheless, Shichu stopped her, "Ziyue."

Ziyue paused for a moment before speaking gently, "I'm sorry. I didn't know that he had captured you."

However, she could feel the air get colder as she continued to untie him.

She did not know how Muchen would react now, but she could not ignore Shichu either. She could only continue untying Shichu, despite the chilling air around Muchen.

Shichu looked into Ziyue's eyes and spoke weakly. "What he said is true."

Ziyue was stunned for a moment. Shichu had confirmed the truth about everything Muchen said to her.

Ziyue's hand stopped immediately. She was too stunned to move at this point.

She raised her head to look at Shichu. The shock in her eyes was evident as she withdrew her hands and clenched them tightly. A few moments later, she asked, "What… What did you say?"

Shichu's initially exhausted face looked even paler. His eyes dimmed as he admitted, "I'm the team leader of K7."

Although his voice was not loud, it sounded like roaring thunder in Ziyue's ears.

She took a few steps backward. Her eyes reddened, and tears started rolling down her cheeks. "Were you the one who instructed Yannan to feed Muchen with 'L1U73' in the mountains?"

"…Yes."

The person she had trusted the most had almost killed the love of her life.

"You…" Ziyue swallowed hard. She opened her mouth, but words would not come out.
