Chapter 214 He Had Found Her
Lu Jinye’s initially unreadable eyes became turbulent.
“Block them for ten minutes. Be nice to them and console them. After ten minutes, you can let them in.”
It was the dead man who had committed wrong but now he was suddenly the righteous one?
Lu Jinye could think of many ways to solve this problem but as Mu Zhi was here, there was only one
way to resolve this urgently.
He picked up his phone and called Linda, “Schedule a flight now and send a helicopter immediately to
my villa’s backyard.”
He spoke quickly rendering the instructions urgently.
There was no chance for Linda to question why so she could only acknowledge them. Then she asked,
“Flight destination?”
“Anywhere, get it done immediately!”
Lu Jinye hung up.
Mu Zhi quietly dressed up, and when she left the door, she found Lu Jinye expecting her. He put what
was in his hand into Mu Zhi’s hands and said to her, “The chopper is waiting for you. Board the plane
first, I’ll come after you when I’m finished dealing with work.”
Lu Jinye’s tone did not seem unusual. It was no different from when he was instructing an ordinary
matter.
So Mu Zhi did not think much and obeyed him by getting into the helicopter with Linda.
However, after the helicopter had taken off, Mu Zhi suddenly felt that something was not right.
Wasn’t she not allowed to leave the city? Why did a helicopter arrive out of the blue to take her away?
Furthermore… Why was a helicopter needed for stargazing?
As she thought of that, she immediately became worried.
“What happened? Where are we going?” She turned to Linda and asked.
“We are going to Daocheng Yading for stargazing.”
Linda sounded very natural.
Mu Zhi stared at Linda and said, “Linda, do you know that you have a habit whenever you lied?”

“What habit?”
Linda blinked and subconsciously sat even straighter.
Mu Zhi smiled and said, “It’s that… You would unconsciously quirk the corner of your mouth upwards.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Mu Zhi nodded.
She kept staring at Linda with a searching stare as though she was trying to see through her. Linda
could not say anything, so she pretended to ignore Mu Zhi.
However, Mu Zhi did not stop staring.
She asked in a stern tone, “Are you hiding something from me?”
“No,” Linda answered immediately.
She then turned away so that her back was facing Mu Zhi.
“Miss Mu Zhi, stop staring at me. Your… Your stare makes me uncomfortable.”
She tried to avoid Mu Zhi. She even took out a hand mirror to see whether her mouth had quirked
when she lied.
Nah, my mouth looks completely normal. She thought to herself reassuringly.
As such, when Mu Zhi accused her of lying again, Linda immediately answered, “Miss Mu Zhi, my
mouth did not quirk up subconsciously. I am telling the truth.”
Mu Zhi glanced at Linda and said, “I was lying. You never have the habit of quirking your mouth.
However, you have betrayed yourself through your own guilt.”
With these two statements, she had revealed everything.
On the other hand, Linda was on the verge of panic.
“You better explain to me everything about Lu Jinye’s plans. If you don’t, I will escape and you won’t be
able to explain to Lu Jinye once the helicopter has landed.”
Linda looked at Mu Zhi helplessly.
“But… If I tell you everything, I will also be in trouble.”
She bit her lip. She was very anxious.
“If neither of us says anything, Lu Jinye will never know that it was you who leaked his plan.”
“So, will you tell me now?”
Mu Zhi fixed her almond-shaped eyes on Linda. The eyes reflected the careful scheming in her mind.
Linda couldn’t help breaking out in cold sweat.
Linda bit her lip and closed her eyes. She had made her decision, “Miss Mu Zhi, when the helicopter
has landed, you can try to run away. I… I can’t tell you anything!”
After that, Linda put on her headphones.
Seeing that Linda refused to give in, Mu Zhi sighed. She had run out of plans.
It was fine to scare Linda a little, but she could not bring herself to be true to her threats.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was an unsaved number, so she answered it hesitantly.
It was Xie Xiu’s voice on the other end, “Miss Mu, are you free for lunch at noon today? I want to make
up for our previously disrupted lunch plan.”
Xie Xiu sounded relaxed and in a good mood.
Mu Zhi looked out of the window, the clouds were now below the helicopter. She looked at the vast
expense sky and sighed.
She was currently moving away from City A. How could she have lunch with Xie Xiu?
So, she said, “Mr. Xie, can you help me with something? Can you check my location for me and pick
me up? If you can do that, I will be able to have lunch with you. If not, I am sorry.”
With that, she shared her location with Xie Xiu.
When Xie Xiu had agreed to her request, she hung up. However, she was still worried.
She pretended as if she had a plan and continued to put on an act before Linda.
She set her phone aside and helped Linda to take off her headphones. “Stop acting, you did not put on
any music. You must have heard my conversation just now.”
Linda nodded.
“In a while, I will have a good chance of running away so you should consider carefully. Will you tell me
yourself or should I find out my way. If I do, then… You really won’t be able to answer to Lu Jinye.”
Linda sighed in despair.
When Mu Zhi was away, Linda was Lu Jinye’s chief secretary. She had managed a lot of matters and
was very successful.
However, being before Mu Zhi… She felt that she was not clever enough.
She gritted her teeth and said, “The Zhang family had come to cause trouble. Perhaps Mr. Lu did not
want you to get involved.”
Mu Zhi was temporarily stunned by her statement.
But now was not the time to be touched by what Lu Jinye had done for her.
She called to the pilot, “Can we turn back? I need to see Lu Jinye!”
If there was danger, she would like to face it with him and not for him to stay behind by himself!

It must be to inform her that he had found her!
