Chapter 439: Yun Mu Asleep

Watching Yun Mu's car disappear into the distance, Yi Yanran, sitting in a red sports car across the street, calmed herself and made a call.

"Mentor, did you see clearly?"

On the other end of the phone was a handsome, blond, blue-eyed man standing by a café near the airport, wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

He was Yi Yanran's mentor from Flenderbo and also the most authoritative cosmetic surgeon on the Southern Ming Continent.

Yi Yanran had only asked her mentor to accompany her to follow Yi Jue and Yun Mu, but before she could make a move, Yi Jue had already removed Yun Mu's veil.

At that moment, Yi Yanran held her breath for a moment.

That face was indeed the Yun Mu from the capital!

And what a face it was—breathtakingly beautiful, far more stunning than in any photograph. Even without makeup, she looked even more otherworldly and surreal.

Her mentor's voice came through, "From what I observed, there don't seem to be any signs of cosmetic surgery on that lady's face."

Yi Yanran frowned, "Are you sure?"

"From what I can see, yes. That face is just too perfect. There are no signs of surgery. If it really is the result of cosmetic surgery, then I can only say the surgeon is a true artist—not only creating such a beautiful face but also making it look completely natural. That's a true master of cosmetic surgery!"

"I understand."

Yi Yanran hung up the phone.

So, the Yun Mu before her had never undergone cosmetic surgery.

She was lying. She wasn't the real head of the Yun family but the Yun Mu from the capital—a fraud!

It's unclear how much effort she had put into this, managing to integrate into the Yun family for so long without being exposed. She must have studied the real Yun Mu's personality thoroughly!

Yi Yanran needed to carefully consider how to use this situation to negotiate a deal with Yi Jue.

At this point, Yi Yanran was absolutely certain that the Yun Mu before her was a fraud!

...

Today was the Yun family's ancestral ceremony day.

Early in the morning, the senior members and key figures of the Yun family gathered at the ancestral hall for the ceremony. However, after waiting for a long time, the head of the family, Yun Mu, still hadn't arrived to lead the ritual. The hall was abuzz with discussions, with many criticizing Yun Mu for growing more irresponsible and neglecting the family.

Yunzhe arrived in large strides, frowning, "What's going on?"

Granny Gu replied, "Master Yunzhe, the head of the family is missing. She said she would send Yi Jue to the airport this morning and return by eight to lead the ceremony, but it's already eight-thirty, and she's still not back."

Yunzhe frowned, "She's not the type to be late without reason. Proceed with the ceremony without her; I'll go look for her."

With that, he hurried off.

Ji Shu, who had come along for the excitement, quickly followed, "I'll come too, but where should we look for her?"

Yunzhe took out his phone and opened an app, "The airport. The last location before her phone turned off was near the airport."

Ji Shu gasped, "You actually put a tracker on Yun Mu's phone!"

"If you tell anyone, you'll regret it," Yunzhe threatened, giving her a sharp look.

Ji Shu quickly covered her mouth, gesturing to keep it quiet.

Yunzhe drove directly to the location from the GPS and immediately saw Yun Mu's white sports car on a ramp!

"Yun Mu!" Yunzhe rushed out of the car and hurried over to the white sports car.

He tried to open the car door, but it was locked. He could only see through the window that Yun Mu was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless.

Yunzhe's heart sank!

"Yun Mu!"

His expression became frantic as he banged on the window and shouted her name!

No matter how much he shouted or how hard he pounded, Yun Mu inside remained still, as if she showed no signs of life.

Ji Shu panicked too!

But she remained calm enough. Seeing that pounding wasn't working, she picked up a stone from the roadside and handed it to Yunzhe, "Quick! Use this!"

Yunzhe immediately took the stone and smashed the windshield, then reached inside to open the car door and carried Yun Mu out of the car.

She was cold all over, with no external injuries. Her breathing, though weak, remained steady.

She appeared to be in a coma.

But if it was just a normal coma, she should have woken up when he smashed the glass!

"Yun Mu, Yun Mu!" Yunzhe shouted while carrying Yun Mu and dashing to the car.

Then he hit the gas, speeding all the way to the hospital.

The whole time, he didn't notice that he had left Ji Shu behind, who hadn't even had time to get in the car.

"Yunzhe, you idiot!"

Ji Shu stomped her feet in anger, standing there, "Can't you see such a beautiful woman like me? Idiot!"

Hospital.

The doctor examined Yun Mu and told them, "She's just temporarily unconscious. The cause of her coma is probably overexertion."

"Impossible! She once went days and nights without sleep, pulling all-nighters on missions without fainting. How could such an iron woman pass out from overwork?"

Yunzhe didn't believe these quacks and personally examined Yun Mu again, but still found no issues.

Everything checked out, except for slightly low blood sugar. It seemed like she really just hadn't rested well and had fallen asleep.

But Yunzhe looked at Yun Mu's pale, haggard face and sensed something was off.

Moreover, Yun Mu's eyes didn't have the red veins that come from overwork and lack of rest, which meant that although she had been busy with experiments these past few days, she had gotten enough rest.

So the cause of her coma must be something else.

But just then, Yun Mu's phone rang.

It was Yi Jue.

"Yun Mu, I've landed. Are you done with your work?" Yi Jue asked on the other end.

Yunzhe, "It's me."

Yi Jue was silent for three seconds, followed by a furious voice laced with ice, "Yunzhe, why are you answering her phone?"

"You can answer her calls, why can't I?"

"I'm her husband!"

"Ex-husband!"

Yi Jue gritted his teeth, "Where is Yun Mu?"

"Hospital."

Yi Jue's heart skipped a beat, "What do you mean? Why is Yun Mu in the hospital? Is she hurt?"

"If Yi Jue is really concerned about his girlfriend, he should come back and see for himself," Yunzhe replied coldly.

Yi Jue took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "What happened to her?"

Yunzhe glanced at Yun Mu, still unconscious on the hospital bed.

"She's stable for now, but she dozed off while driving."

"Dozed off while driving?" Yi Jue was stunned, imagining the horror of a potential car accident.

Yunzhe sneered, "You're not much of a boyfriend, not even noticing your girlfriend's health issues. Yi Jue, you were never the right person to be by her side."
