Marry Me Quick

Chapter 724 Where is She?

Yunan and Muchen caught up with the jeep, only to see it plummeting down the cliff.

Muchen suffered a gunshot to his leg and had limited mobility.

They had just parked the car behind the jeep when Ziyue suddenly drove it into the cliff. Muchen opened the car

door and fell onto the ground in despair.

"No!"

He crouched on the ground and could only watch as the jeep rolled down the cliff, smashing his hope.

Yunan was stunned with shock. When he came to his senses, he saw Muchen crawling toward the cliff's edge. His

expression was devoid of the usual cool indifference and was replaced with utter despair.

Yunan knew what Muchen wanted to do and stepped forward to hold him back. He shouted, "What are you doing?

Are you going to jump down with her?"

Muchen kept looking at the cliff and did not spare Yunan a glance.

"Go away."

Yunan had witnessed too many deaths in his life. Although he was also in a couple of relationships before, he lost

interest in his girlfriends and broke up with them.

To him, death and separation were part and parcel of life. He could not stand seeing Muchen behaving as if his

world had collapsed.

If he was honest, he admired this aspect of Muchen.

"Are you out of your mind? How can you try to kill yourself because she is dead? You still have a son! Have you

forgotten?" Yunan never expected he would one day have to comfort someone.

Muchen ignored Yunan no matter what he said. He struggled to break free, but Yunan held him firmly. He and Yunan

soon got into a physical altercation.

Both men were injured. Muchen's injury was more severe, but Yunan struggled to subdue him.

Ultimately, he had to knock Muchen out and instruct his subordinate to bring him away.

Who would have known Muchen was still so strong even when sustaining severe injuries?

After ordering his subordinate to bring Muchen to the car, Yunan went to the cliff's edge.

He looked down, but the weather condition obscured the view of the bottom of the cliff.

His heart sank. It was improbable that Ziyue would still be alive.

…

Muchen woke up to find himself in the hospital and a group of people waiting by his bed.

He glanced at the people standing closest to him.

There were Jingshu, Xia, Chuan, Yichen, Ke…

He glanced at everyone a few times but did not see the person he wanted to see the most.

The group of people exchanged glances and avoided Muchen's gaze.

No one could bear seeing the confusion and disappointment on Muchen's face. He looked like a child who lost his

way home.

They were people closest to Muchen, yet no one had seen him like this.

Muchen turned to the window. The sky had turned dark, and the lights had come on.

After a while, Muchen asked, "Where is she?"

Where is she?

Where is Ziyue?

He realized he could not remember what had happened in the countryside.

"I've sent people to search her."

It was Jingshu who answered him.

The cliff was too deep, and the snow hampered the search and rescue effort.

After what had happened, Jingshu and the others sent people to search for Ziyue below the cliff. Unfortunately, the

place was far and difficult to access. Jingshu most recently contacted his people in the evening and found they had

just arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

Moreover, it was now dark, and the temperature was cold, complicating the search.

These factors were common sense, and Muchen could not help but consider them. They made him feel hopeless.

I shouldn't have let her go.

I should never have expected others to protect her.

Why did I trust Yunan to protect her?

But…

I understand why she decided to drive the jeep off the cliff.

Silly girl.

There's no one as stupid as her.

Muchen appeared dazed and expressionless as he sat on the bed. He remained silent for a long time.

Xia sniffled and approached the bed. She looked at Muchen and said, "You must get yourself together. We haven't

found Ziyue yet. Perhaps she is okay."

It was a poor attempt to comfort him.

However, Muchen was so desperate that he was willing to cling to any ray of hope. Her words brought him back to

life.

"Really?" Muchen looked at Xia. His eyes glowed with renewed hope.

Xia nodded but soon could not stand it anymore. She pursed her lips and ran out of the room.

Jingshu rushed after her.

Xia leaned against a corner and covered her face. She slowly crouched down, trying to muffle her sobs.

She heard footsteps approaching her and guessed who it was without looking up.

"Why did such a thing happen? They have gone through so much to be together… Zixi is still so young. Mr. Qin is a

good person…"

She choked in between sobs. Her words sounded incoherent in her emotional state.

But Jingshu understood her.

Children believed in fairytales and their imagination.

On the other hand, most adults believed in fate.

Still, Ziyue's chance of survival seemed improbable no matter how one saw it.

However, one sometimes had no choice but to rely on a tiny ray of hope to soldier on with life.

Jingshu lifted her from the floor, embraced her in his arms, and comforted her softly, "Xia, you must have faith that

God will not forsake good people."

"Yes." Xia pressed her face against his chest. Her voice choked up that she could hardly speak, but she nodded

stubbornly.

God will not forsake good people.

Perhaps there will be miracle.

…

No one left the hospital that night and stayed to watch Muchen.

They were worried about Muchen's mental state and feared he would attempt to harm himself.

He valued Ziyue more than his life. Everyone close to him saw that.

That was why they were anxious about him.

Someone suddenly pushed opened the door at midnight.

It was Shichu in a wheelchair. His face was pale, but his eyes were bloodshot. He looked on the verge of collapse.

Shichu moved in his wheelchair to Muchen's bed before anyone could stop him.

Muchen sat on the bed with a dazed expression for a long time. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Muchen, where's Ziyue?" Shichu widened his bloodshot eyes and glared at Muchen.

However, Muchen ignored him.

"Didn't you hear me? Where is Ziyue? Where is she now?" He could not accept that Ziyue drove the car off the cliff.

How could Muchen let her do this?

Isn't he supposed to protect her? How could he let her get in danger?'

It can't be real!

Jingshu could not stand seeing the scene and came over to move Shichu out of the room. "Dr. Lu…"

"Get out of my way!" Shichu pushed him away and continued to glare at Muchen. He shouted, "Say something!"

Muchen finally spoke.

However, he did not speak to Shichu but to Jingshu. "Is there any news?"

Jingshu felt sad for Muchen about what happened to him. He could not bear to tell Muchen that he had lost contact

with the team sent to search for Ziyue.

The cliff was too deep, and no one entered it before. There was no signal below, so it was impossible to keep in

contact.

Therefore, Jingshu also did not know what happened there.

As he pondered what to say, Muchen suddenly left the bed and ran barefoot.
