Chapter 671 Thankful
Jingshu understood what she meant.
He stood up immediately and frowned. "Do you mean Gricy has arranged in advance for their people to be on that flight? Are they going to act against Muchen?"
"There is no end to Gricy's greed. They have been coveting LK Group's substantial wealth for some time now. The presidential election must have prompted them to act. Moreover…" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Ziyue took a deep breath. Now that things had turned out this way, she felt hiding was pointless.
"Muchen's grandfather could be colluding with Gricy."
Ziyue combed her fingers through her hair. She did this whenever she felt anxious.
Jingshu looked at her in shock. "Did Muchen say this?"
"Yes." Ziyue nodded.
Jingshu fell silent. Since Muchen said that, he must have confirmed that Yuchuan is collaborating with Gricy.
I never expected Yuchuan to work with an outsider to go against Muchen.
The Bai family's ancestors were the founders of the nation. Although some did unsavory things, the Bai family will still unite and protect the family during critical moments.
He suddenly thought about something and asked, "How do you know this? Where have you gotten the information from?"
"Shichu told me." After saying that, Ziyue saw Jingshu's confused expression and realized he did not know about Shichu.
She had no choice but to explain. "Shichu is the leader of K7."
The information caught Jingshu by surprise.
His only impression of Shichu was when Shichu treated Muchen's injuries overseas.
Although he and Shichu were not friends, he had a pretty good impression of him.
From what he recalled, Shichu was a mild-tempered doctor. Although he came from a prominent background, he did not behave arrogantly and was kind.
"I don't have time to explain in detail. Jingshu, my mind is now a mess. I don't know what to do." It took all her will to even stand there and talk to Jingshu.
"Do you believe him?" Jingshu did not trust Shichu.
If Shichu is working for Gricy, who knows what he's trying to achieve in revealing this? He could be pretending. We can't let our guard down.
Ziyue answered without hesitation, "I trust him."
She found it a little strange herself. Why do I still trust Shichu?
Jingshu frowned and asked, "Have you contacted Chuan and Ke?"
"Yes, but no one answered." Ziyue shook her head and took out her phone to call them again.
"The plane had taken off for a long time. It's impossible to pursue it at this point." Jingshu's expression turned grim.
If Shichu is right, Muchen could be in grave danger.
Then, Jingshu analyzed calmly, "If they are after LK Group's wealth, they won't do anything to Muchen yet."
"I don't think so…" Ziyue did not see things as optimistic as he did. She looked on the verge of tears as she said, "Gricy is colluding with Muchen's grandfather. They are blood-related."
Jingshu could guess the implications without needing to hear further.
Everyone knew Muchen was related to the Mogwin family.
It was natural for Yuchuan to get involved in LK Group's matters if anything happened to Muchen.
Ziyue called Chuan's phone again. The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
Right when she was about to give up, Chuan picked up the call.
He sounded a little out of breath. "Mrs. Qin."
"What happened? Why didn't you answer my calls until now?"
"A thief broke into the company to steal important documents. Ke and I went there and were too preoccupied with the matter to answer any calls. We discovered that the thief is a company staff." Chuan finally calmed his breath. However, he was still puzzled about why Ziyue called him at such a late hour.
Ziyue placed the call on speaker mode so that Jingshu could hear Chuan.
Someone tried to steal company documents.
The incident matched Ziyue's theory about a spy on Muchen's side.
Ziyue and Jingshu's expressions turned solemn.
Ziyue bit her lip and said, "Muchen has gotten on the plane, but Shichu told me that everyone on his flight was from Gricy."
Chuan's reply caught her by surprise. "What flight? Isn't Mr. Qin resting at home? He said he's been feeling unwell recently…"
'Smack!'
The phone fell to the floor.
Ziyue turned to Jingshu. Her face had gone deathly pale.
Meanwhile, Chuan said, "Hello? Hello? Mrs. Qin, what happened? What's going on?"
However, Ziyue had lost all the will to speak.
Jingshu's condition was not much better. He looked grim as he picked up the phone. "Chuan, do you know Muchen returned to Yunzhou City?"
Chuan seemed to have grasped what was going on. He paused briefly before answering, "I didn't know."
Muchen did not even tell Chuan that he had returned to Yunzhou City, yet Shichu knew about it.
This proved that Shichu was telling the truth.
Gricy must have discovered Muchen's whereabouts and secretly schemed against Muchen. Otherwise, Shichu would not have known anything about this.
Jingshu turned to Ziyue and found her standing still with a daze expression. He could not tell what she was thinking.
Then, he sighed and discussed something with Chuan before hanging up. Ziyue suddenly said, "I'll get a pilot to fly a private plane to chase after Muchen's flight."
Jingshu stopped her immediately, "You can't catch up with it!"
Ziyue looked up and yelled, "What am I to do then? Muchen is in danger. How can we stay here and do nothing?"
She was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
No one knew whether Gricy planned to keep Muchen alive or kill him.
"He will be fine. Muchen won't die so easily. Moreover, his grandfather would not collude with an outsider to kill him. You know how controlling he is toward Muchen. Based on this, we know he won't let anyone kill Muchen yet."
Jingshu grew more convinced by his theory the more he explained.
Ziyue calmed down slightly and thought his words made sense.
She nodded and mumbled, "Yes, you're right. Grandpa is obsessed with controlling Muchen. He would not let him die for nothing…"
She had seen the extent Yuchuan was willing to bend Muchen to his will.
Previously, she detested Yuchuan for this but was now thankful for it.
