CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 196: INVESTIGATION RESULTS

"It’s for you! The dress for attending Xie Yunlu’s wedding! I picked it out for you after shopping all day yesterday. From the first moment I saw this dress, I thought it was perfect for you. No one else can carry the elegance of this dress like you!" Ling Yueyue said as she opened the evening gown in front of Ye Anxin.

The dress was a Korean-style evening gown, very long with a V-neck strap, adorned with a string of rhinestones at the connection of the straps and the V neckline. Below the bust, there was a perfectly fitting elastic band, perfectly shaping and enhancing the chest! Below the elastic band was a pleated skirt that flowed down to the ankles. Paired with crystal high heels, the whole look was ethereal, elegant, and grand! Especially on someone as purely beautiful as Ye Anxin, it was the perfect match.

Ye Anxin fell in love with the dress at first sight. Even though she loved it, she still said, "Yueyue, I don’t want to go to Xie Yunlu’s wedding!"

Ling Yueyue patted Ye Anxin on the shoulder forcefully, "Hey, Ye Anxin, aren’t we friends! You have to go, why wouldn’t you! I’m telling you, Mu Rufeng’s wedding, our Mr. Huo is also invited, so as Mrs. Huo, I ought to go with him! If you don’t go, who will accompany me!"

Ye Anxin resolutely said, "If Uncle doesn’t go, I won’t go either! Besides, attending the wedding of an ex-boyfriend, what kind of situation is that! I’m not going!"

Ling Yueyue rolled her eyes at Ye Anxin, "Cough, cough, Ye Anxin, don’t forget why you married Mu Beiting in the first place. Wasn’t it to make them call you aunt in front of so many people at their wedding? Otherwise, why would you marry Mu Beiting? Now that you have such a good opportunity, don’t waste it!"

Ye Anxin sighed and sat down on the bed, "That was in the past! In the past, I was not at peace with myself and acted impulsively! Now, I’ve calmed down, and it’s too childish to do that! Plus, where there’s no love, there’s no hate. I don’t hate Mu Rufeng at all now, so there’s no need to do this! I just want to live quietly with Uncle!"

Ling Yueyue said with a tone of frustration, "Ye Anxin, you’re such a coward! After all Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu did to you, you’re just going to let them off so easily!"

Ye Anxin shook her head and stubbornly said, "Forget it, Yueyue, stop talking. You take back the evening gown yourself! I don’t want it!"

"There’s no reason for me, Ling Yueyue, to take back a gift I’ve given! Look, I even got matching shoes for you!" she said, taking a box from the shopping bag and opening it. A pair of ten-inch high heels inlaid with rhinestones appeared before Ye Anxin.

Ling Yueyue raised her eyebrows proudly, "How about it, perfectly matched, right? Aren’t they beautiful!"

Ye Anxin lowered her head, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Taking in all her expressions, Ling Yueyue sat down beside Ye Anxin and tentatively asked, "Is it because your Uncle won’t let you go?"

Ye Anxin paused, then nodded.

"Sigh! Since your Uncle doesn’t want you to go, then forget it! A harmonious marriage is most important! If I insist on dragging you along, wouldn’t it affect your relationship!" Ling Yueyue sighed helplessly, even though she really wished to drag her along, she had to respect her decision.

After all, Mu Beiting knew that Anxin was Mu Rufeng’s ex-girlfriend!

These little ideas of theirs might not escape Mu Beiting’s sharp eyes at all!

A man as possessive as Mu Beiting would never allow his woman to have another man in her heart, let alone use him to provoke an ex-boyfriend!

So, Anxin’s concerns were valid! They couldn’t let momentary satisfaction disregard Mu Beiting’s feelings.

With a new thought, Ling Yueyue suddenly thrust the clothes and shoes into Ye Anxin’s arms, "But, even if you can’t attend the wedding, I am not taking back the gifts I’ve given! So, you have to keep the clothes and shoes! Just think of them as a wedding gift from me to you and Mu Beiting!"

Seeing Ling Yueyue say so, Ye Anxin found no reason to refuse! Besides, between her and Yueyue, there was no need for such formalities! So, she accepted the clothes and shoes.

"Since you’re not going, I’ll be off! I have to prepare the attire with our Mr. Huo!" With that, she stood up and prepared to leave.

"I’ll see you off!" Ye Anxin also got up and walked Ling Yueyue to the door.

Watching Ling Yueyue get into the Huo Family’s car, she then went back inside.

......

Mu Group, CEO’s office!

Mu Beiting sat behind the desk as Pete reported the investigation results respectfully, "Based on the receptionist’s description, we found that little girl and confirmed with the receptionist! However, the little girl already doesn’t remember who gave her the envelope, she only knows it was a man who was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, so she couldn’t describe his real appearance! Regarding the license plate number given by President Huo, we also investigated it, and the car owner reported it lost just the other day, saying it was stolen!"

Mu Beiting frowned, "I only want to know the result, not the process!"

"Later, with perseverance, we found video surveillance that captured the car thief’s features! Then we went through a series of highway videos and eventually pinpointed this man!" He said, placing a photo on Mu Beiting’s desk and pushing it towards him, adding truthfully, "Through investigation, it was indeed this man who drove and hit madam. When we wanted to find him, we discovered that he had already fled abroad on the day he hit madam and is no longer in Jin City!"

Mu Beiting clenched his jaw, looking down at the man in the photo.

A very ordinary man, small and thin, with unremarkable features, the kind you wouldn’t find in a crowd.

Pete stood quietly, waiting for Mu Beiting’s orders.

After a long while, Mu Beiting coldly said, "Even if you have to turn the world upside down, find him for me!"

"Yes sir! I’ll instruct someone to handle it right away!" Pete nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Mu Beiting’s voice, "Wait!"

Pete stopped and turned back.

Mu Beiting pursed his lips, his eyes flickering slightly, he then said, "Tomorrow morning at six o’clock, have Hua Run go to the villa to do madam’s styling!"

"I’ll call Hua Run right away!" Pete nodded and left the office.

Mu Beiting sat in the office chair, staring intently at the photo on the desk, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the desk, his expression flickering, revealing no real emotion.

......

The following morning, as Ye Anxin was sleeping comfortably, she suddenly felt a shortness of breath and severe lack of oxygen in her chest.

On the verge of suffocating, she opened her eyes wide and met a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes.

"Uncle...Uncle...!" Ye Anxin gasped and called out. Seeing Mu Beiting’s hand pinching her nose, she realized why she had been short of breath just now.
