CHAPTER 378: CHAPTER 360

Shen Mubai knew very well that Shen Weixi was a hot-tempered girl, prone to impulsiveness. In her current emotional state, it wasn’t impossible for her to accidentally kill Yu Qingyan.

Looking at Yu Qingyan, with a sword held against her neck by Shen Weixi, she was pale with fright, her delicate body slightly trembling, looking pitiful and helpless.

Shen Mubai could only persuade her with kind words, "Weixi, don’t be impulsive! Calm down, there must be a misunderstanding, but this is not the time to talk about it."

"We need to find Wanyue first and ensure her safety, and then we’ll discuss this, okay?"

Shen Weixi also wanted to calm down, but she simply couldn’t.

Today, she was just about to sleep when that handsome guard from the Prince Qin Mansion suddenly came looking for Yue’er. She asked a few questions, but the handsome guard only said he was ’just stopping by.’

Afterwards, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, automatically linking it to the cliff incident, making her increasingly anxious, so she decided to go to her tent.

In the end, there was no one there!

Not only was Yue’er missing, but even King Qin was absent. The tent was dark, and there wasn’t even a guard at the door.

This clearly indicated that something had happened!

After thinking it over, she concluded that the most suspicious person was that hypocritical and pretentious woman Yu Qingyan! As they say, enemies see each other with particularly envious eyes!

Later, she also heard that the two black bears were acting unusual, and since Yu Qingyan was trained in medicine and understood pharmacology, it was possible she might have done something to the bears, perhaps drugging them.

Facing Shen Weixi’s questioning, Yu Qingyan felt very wronged!

"Sister Weixi, I honestly didn’t know you’d be outside overhearing those words. If it wasn’t for Mr. Shen saying the storm was too strong to go out then, I would have been the one attacked by the black bears."

"Even if you don’t trust me, surely Mr. Shen wouldn’t harm Miss Lin, would he?"

"Moreover, doctors are driven by compassion. I studied medicine to save lives, so why would I use it to harm others? Besides, as a weak woman unable to even truss a chicken, how would I dare go near such ferocious beasts?"

"I can swear to the heavens, I have never harbored the slightest jealousy or resentment towards Miss Lin, only guilt. Besides, I have already requested to leave the hall."

When Shen Weixi heard this, she was indeed momentarily stunned. However, she wasn’t in the mood to care whether what she said was true or false; even if she did leave, Yue’er would never want Shen Mubai, that scoundrel, again.

But one thing she didn’t doubt, Shen Mubai, despite being scoundrelly, wouldn’t harm Yue’er.

Could it be that this really has nothing to do with her?

Shen Weixi thought quickly and decided to find the person first and investigate the matter slowly afterward.

But, where should she start looking?

"Weixi, let’s split up to search. Qing’er, you go back to the house and rest first."

"No, Mr. Shen, I also want to contribute. The more people looking, the more hope we have. I’ll join you in the search for Miss Lin."

Shen Weixi snorted coldly and didn’t want to look at those two anymore, turning her head and leaving immediately.

Shen Mubai was anxious and couldn’t help but find Yu Qingyan too slow, so he suggested they split up to search, saying it would give them a better chance.

Yu Qingyan, understanding, nodded in agreement, but when she turned around, her eyes were cold and mocking.

Ha... he really does care a lot about Lin Wanyue. Split up to search? Isn’t he worried that a weak woman like her might run into danger at night?

...

At this moment, deep in the mountains.

The green mountains under the night were covered in snow, a hazy mist hung in the air, and Nangong Mo, wearing a silver mask, swiftly traversed through the night.
