Chapter 163 Mu Xiaomu Had Really Gone Missing!
Mu Zhi thought she was mistaken in the beginning. She went through the report carefully again.
Although she did not work in a laboratory, this report had a wrong model, and there was even a missing
procedure!
The mistake was not too obvious. One would not have known if not a professional.
Mu Zhi double checked the report and was confident that it was a fake. She was suddenly clueless
about how she should face Lu Jinye.
Lu Jinye seemed to be still contemplating, and had not answered Mu Zhi yet about whether he would
marry her for Mu Xiaomu. Mu Zhi held up the report and studied Lu Jinye closely.
She did not spill it at once.
Because she wanted to know if Lu Jinye would marry her for Mu Xiaomu.
But Lu Jinye’s reluctance to answer for such a long time made Mu Zhi feel that he was turning her
down.
Just as Lu Jinye wanted to speak, Mu Zhi snorted, “You don’t have to answer anymore. There is no
need to… This report is fake. You are not biologically related to Mu Xiaomu.”
Lu Jinye was shaken when he heard that. He looked at Mu Zhi in disbelief.
Mu Zhi pointed out the mistake in the report to Lu Jinye.
Thinking about what Xu Se told him today, it suddenly came to his senses. Was this designed by Xu Se
so that he would not get married to Xiao Qingqing?
Nonsense!
Absolute monkey business!
Lu Jinye started his car, and looked at Mu Zhi as he explained, “If this is not genuine, I have to go back
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtimmediately.”
“Okay, I’ll get off.”
Mu Zhi did not even try to persuade him. Without a single word, she opened the car door and got off.
Without waiting for Lu Jinye to explain further.
Mu Zhi understood the situation. It was as clear as crystal, albeit causing disappointment in her.
Lu Jinye had cancelled his wedding with Xiao Qingqing for Mu Xiaomu. Now that he found out that this
was just a set up, he had obviously gone back to Xiao Qingqing.
When Lu Jinye saw Mu Zhi attempting to go down of the car, he stretched his hand out to stop her.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was Xiao Qingqing.
Mu Zhi heard Lu Jinye answering his phone as she was going down the car.
And was certain that was Xiao Qingqing.
She did not stay a second longer in the car, and got off without delay.
When Lu Jinye heard Xiao Qingqing, she was weeping wistfully on the other end of the phone. She
asked Lu Jinye gently, “Jinye, are you still coming back?”
Lu Jinye was at loss for words on the spur of the moment.
Actually… When he found out that Mu Xiaomu was not his child a while ago, he thought of returning to
his wedding. But, as he received Xiao Qingqing’s call, his mind suddenly went blank.
“Reporters are here and there right now. If you do not wish for this wedding to go on, could you come
and face them with me? Don’t just leave me alone like this.”
Xiao Qingqing said softly, “For the sake of… Old times when we loved each other.”
Lu Jinye stayed silent for a while. He did not answer to Xiao Qingqing’s request, but started his car and
headed in the back direction.
He simply left Xiao Qingqing a message, “I will settle this properly.
Xiao Qingqing obediently answered on the other end, “Alright, I shall wait for you.”
She thought she would be able to have him back that way.
…
Mu Zhi looked as Lu Jinye’s car left speedily.
It felt agonizing to be left behind like that. Although she had predicted this outcome, she could not help
but feel stupidly unrequited.
She hastily flagged down a cab and expressed Xu Se’s house address. She was on her way over.
Alas! She noticed something amiss as she arrived at Xu Se’s villa. The front door was left wide open,
and the security looked like a cat on hot bricks. An old man, probably the butler, was standing at the
door with his neck extended, as if looking out for someone to arrive.
There were a few moments that he looked as if he wanted to make a phone call out of desperation.
When he saw Mu Zhi’s car, he hurried over. But just as he saw Mu Zhi alone getting off the car, he
turned back disappointedly.
When Mu Zhi saw the butler, she walked towards him and asked gently, “Mister, I am Mu Xiaomu’s
mother. Is Mu Xiaomu here?”
“Finally you’re here! Have you got any idea when Young Master Xu will be coming back? We’re so
sorry that we hadn’t been able to find Mu Xiaomu yet.”
The butler’s face was overflowing with guilt.
Mu Zhi was dumbstruck when she heard this.
What did he mean that they hadn’t been able to find Mu Xiaomu?
Mu Zhi looked at the butler in shock, “Mister, what do you mean?”
“You see, Young Master Xu left Mu Xiaomu here for us to take care of. But when Young Master Xu and
Miss Jian left, the child stopped playing. She was so smart that she convinced us to leave her alone
when she went to the washroom. Then she disappeared!”
Mu Zhi blinked her eyes in disbelief.

She emphasized, then realized that this was not the time to argue over this trivial matter. The most
important thing now was to find Mu Xiaomu.
“Where did the child go missing?”
“Have you checked the surveillance cameras?”
Mu Zhi was getting more and more anxious as she continued asking.
The butler looked even guiltier, “Yes, the first thing we did was to check the surveillance cameras, but
the child seemed to have dodged them on purpose. We have not a single idea how she went missing.
We’ve turned the whole villa upside down and we still couldn’t find her!”
Mu Zhi went into total shock from these words.
She could feel a chill going down her spine, towards her whole body.
She didn’t know what to do at that moment.
The only thing she had in mind was to ask for help!
Mu Xiaomu was definitely not smart enough to hide away from all the surveillance cameras.
She must have been kidnapped by someone!
Who could help her?
This was not the first time Mu Xiaomu got kidnapped. But for this to happen the second time?
Goodness gracious! Mu Zhi felt her head spinning!
She held up her phone and called Lu Jinye at once without even thinking.
Lu Jinye had not picked the phone yet as the phone rang for the third time. Just then, Mu Zhi came
back to her senses.
The last time this happened, Lu Jinye did not save her and Mu Xiaomu because of Xiao Qingqing. How
would he give up his wedding with Xiao Qingqing now to save them?
How important was their wedding?
She immediately hung up the call and called Xu Se instead.
…
Lu Jinye had just gotten out of his car when he heard his phone ringing. Before he could pick up the
call, it was cut off!
