Chapter 250 Is He Dying Soon?

"Nothing."

Yun Shuiyao feared that further conversation might cause trouble, so she exchanged a few pleasantries and left.

Yunzhe glanced indifferently at her back and the bracelet on her wrist, his eyes cold.

He turned and entered the car, got in, and put on a Bluetooth headset.

Immediately, voices came through the earpiece.

It seemed Yun Shuiyao had already entered the room, and they had been exchanging sharp words for a while.

Yun Shuiyao sounded resentful, "It's only been a few days. Do you think it's that easy to get the jade pendant for you? Don't you know how hard it is to obtain that jade pendant?"

The man laughed, his tone threatening.

"I'm not in a hurry, but I am determined to get my hands on the END organization! As for you, the organization is already investigating you. They will soon uncover your true identity. If you don't speed up, I won't be able to protect you!"

"You!" Yun Shuiyao laughed in anger, "Fine, I promise to get the jade pendant for you within a month. But you need to help me get rid of Yun Mu first!"

The man chuckled, "That's impossible."

"Why? Are you afraid?"

"Not exactly, but Yun Mu's life is in someone else's hands. No one else can touch Yun Mu except that person." The man spoke calmly to Yun Shuiyao, "I'll also give you a warning: don't do anything foolish, or that person won't spare you."

Yun Shuiyao gritted her teeth.

Why? So many people want to protect that wretch!

"Who is this person you're talking about?"

"Don't ask too many questions." The man glanced at the wound on Yun Shuiyao's forehead and smiled mockingly, "Why fight over a dying person?"

Yun Shuiyao was startled, "Dying person? You mean Huo Tingying?"

The man remained silent.

"But wasn't his illness cured?"

It was Yun Mu who personally performed the surgery.

The man snorted, "That's just an illusion. Remember his other name, Yi Jue? No one from that family has ever lived past thirty years!"

Yun Shuiyao was shocked.

Huo Tingying, that god-like man, is dying soon?

Yunzhe, listening through the headset, also changed expression.

Yi Jue?

So Huo Tingying is from the Yi family of the Southern Mystic Continent, the cursed family where no member lives past thirty!

Does Yun Mu know about this?

He thought Yun Mu would live a happy and peaceful life in the capital, but it seems fate still hasn't let her off.

After a long while, Yun Shuiyao finally emerged from the presidential suite.

She took out her phone and called her people.

"Keep a close watch on Huo Tingying. Find out which banks he has set up safety deposit boxes in."

Yunzhe's pupils constricted sharply.

Is Yun Shuiyao so focused on Huo Tingying because the jade pendant is in his possession?

...

In the afternoon, Feng Shuo arrived in City A.

Yun Mu finished work early in the afternoon, but Huo Tingying went to visit a client in City A.

Worried about Yun Mu being followed, Huo Tingying asked Feng Shuo to accompany her.

Yun Mu found a café and idly sipped her coffee.

Feng Shuo sat beside her, typing on his phone.

Yun Mu glanced at him, "Does the coffee not suit your taste? Want to switch to another one?"

Feng Shuo was flattered, "No, Young Lady, I just rarely drink coffee."

Yun Mu didn't insist and glanced at his constantly vibrating phone, teasing, "Who's sending you so many messages? Your girlfriend?"

Feng Shuo almost dropped his phone.

"No!" After thinking for a moment, he showed Yun Mu his phone screen, "Young Lady, since you're a girl, could you help me choose which of these dresses looks better and more formal?"

This morning, Huo Chun suddenly showed him dozens of dress photos and said that Young Master had arranged for him to pick one for her to wear at her grand appearance in a month.

Every time he chose a dress, Huo Chun rejected it and called him old-fashioned!

It was driving him crazy.

Yun Mu noticed the profile picture was the same one that visited Huo Tingying earlier, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"These dresses are all limited-edition new arrivals for the season. Who did you pick them out for, being so attentive?"

Feng Shuo was taken aback, "Young Master didn't tell you?"

Seeing Yun Mu's expression, which clearly said, "Do I look like I know?" Feng Shuo added, "That makes sense; you and Young Master have been in a cold war these past few days. He probably hasn't had the chance to tell you yet."

Yun Mu grew impatient, "Who is it? Just tell me straight."

But Feng Shuo decided to play coy, "You'll have to ask Young Master about that. As assistants, we can't just blurt things out, especially when it involves confidentiality."

Isn't Huo Chun's current identity a secret?

She’s the secret weapon to keep those Huo family members in check.

Yun Mu drew a sharp breath, suppressing her anger, "Are you going to tell me or not?"

Feng Shuo remained silent, refusing to speak.

"Is it some mistress your master keeps outside?" Yun Mu gritted her teeth.

Feng Shuo nearly jumped up.

"Madam, don't say such things! Our Young Master is nothing like you, who gets involved in scandals with several men while shooting a movie, making it public knowledge. Our Young Master is very devoted and keeps himself clean."

Yun Mu felt a slight relief but narrowed her eyes, testing him.

"So you're saying I'm not devoted and don't keep myself clean?"

"That's not what I meant. The point is, there have never been any messy women around our Young Master, neither in the past nor will there be in the future!" Feng Shuo raised his hand, "I swear on my honor."

Yun Mu scoffed, "Then your honor must not be worth much. Didn't your master have a crush on some mysterious girl before he married me?"

Feng Shuo blurted out,

"That was an accident! That woman suddenly appeared in front of Young Master, insisting on clinging to him, and then she even spent a night with him and ran away. It was truly..."

excessive!

Seeing Yun Mu's increasingly cold gaze, Feng Shuo immediately shut his mouth, realizing he had made a mistake.

Yun Mu's heart darkened, a cold smile forming on her lips.

"Clinging to your master and spending a night together?"

Feng Shuo shook his head, "Madam, this... this was all in the past. Truly, since then, Young Master has never seen that woman again!"

"That's because he couldn't find her! If she were to appear in front of him now, he would probably pounce on her!"

Feng Shuo, "Impossible. Our Young Master stopped looking for her long ago."

Yun Mu was surprised, "Why?"

"I don't know. One day, he just told me not to look for her anymore." Feng Shuo read her expression and quickly added, "I think it's because our Young Master has long forgotten that passing acquaintance and fallen in love with you. Think about it, how does Young Master treat you? He would risk his life for you, something that one-time encounter could never compare to."

Yun Mu raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"How could it be false? Who risked their life to save you? Who stood in front of you time and time again?"

That's true.

Suddenly, Yun Mu wondered if she was being too narrow-minded.

But the thought of Huo Tingying spending a night with that woman...

made her want to kill!
