CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 402

Fu Youhan’s words shocked Ye Chen.

So, Jiang Moxi went to the extent of disregarding her own life just to be with Fu Youhan.

But Fu Youhan not only continually hurt Jiang Moxi’s heart for the sake of an imposter Dead Ghost, he even left Jiang Moxi alone at the wedding...

This was not just a matter of hurting Jiang Moxi’s heart anymore, but a huge rift had formed between them, an insurmountable one.

At this moment, Ye Chen felt that the chances of Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi repairing their relationship were close to zero, just like him and Yu Dingding.

However, since Fu Youhan wanted to make one last effort, Ye Chen, as his brother, naturally fully supported him.

Ye Chen utilized the complex relations between Ye’s enterprises and many entertainment companies to immediately help Fu Youhan find out which hotel Cang Ming was currently staying at.

And upon receiving the address, Fu Youhan drove there directly.

In the hotel, Cang Ming had just finished his schedule for the day and was planning to check up on what the Orion Mercenaries had done today and if Jiang Moxi was in any danger or not.

But at that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The person outside said it was room service, to which Cang Ming replied, "I don’t need any room service, get lost!"

However, the doorbell kept ringing insistently, annoying Cang Ming until he finally opened the door.

Unexpectedly, besides the service staff, Fu Youhan was also there.

As the two men faced each other, Cang Ming had to admit that the man in front of him was even more handsome than himself.

With his strikingly good looks and a tall, impressive stature, combined with an overbearing aura, even his silhouette alone was enough to make one’s heart race.

No wonder he could enchant the famous Dead Ghost, making her forsake even her own life.

While secretly scoffing to himself, Cang Ming asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Do you know the exact location where the Xuanming Mercenary Corps is currently staying?"

Fu Youhan got straight to the point.

Cang Ming narrowed his eyes, guessing why Fu Youhan was inquiring about the whereabouts of the Xuanming Mercenary Corps.

Was it because he knew Jiang Moxi’s true identity and wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate the Xuanming Corp?

But outwardly, Cang Ming showed no emotion and scoffed, "What Xuanming, what mercenaries? I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Fu Youhan, already on the edge of losing control, especially thinking about Jiang Moxi’s severe injuries and possible critical condition, charged forward and grabbed Cang Ming by the collar.

His voice hoarse as he shouted, "Don’t play dumb with me, you definitely know. And Xixi has been shot at least four times, she’s in critical condition."

Cang Ming was shocked, "What? How did she get shot?"

But quickly, he realized something and shook his head desperately.

"No... her shooting skills are excellent, and her reactions are sharp, it’s not possible for her to get hurt easily!"

Yes, this could just be a strategy by Fu Youhan to provoke him, to make him reveal Jiang Moxi’s whereabouts.

He couldn’t say anything, after all, they hadn’t determined yet whether Fu Youhan was a friend or foe!

But Fu Youhan, with teary eyes, told Cang Ming, "Orion attacked her with over two hundred men, also colluding with Wen You. They were all armed. Even with her extraordinary abilities, Xixi couldn’t have escaped unscathed!"

As Cang Ming was pondering the truth of Fu Youhan’s words, the information he had sent out to inquire about Orion’s movement came back.

Cang Ming immediately picked up his phone and saw the following text:

"Today, the people from Orion launched a full assault at the Ferry to ambush Dead Ghost, resulting in almost complete annihilation; there are virtually no survivors, and the whereabouts of Dead Ghost remain unknown."

Seeing the information, Cang Ming realized that Fu Youhan had not lied to him.

Jiang Moxi was indeed likely to have been seriously injured in the ambush and was hovering on the edge of death.

Cang Ming was instantly furious.

He shook off Fu Youhan’s grip on his collar, and in turn, grabbed Fu Youhan’s collar violently shouting:

"She could have gotten away unharmed, as she had already prepared to leave. It was your relentless proposal that made her stay, yet you couldn’t even protect her!"

Actually, upon learning that Jiang Moxi was Dead Ghost, Fu Youhan had largely guessed that her sudden disappearance from everyone’s sight was probably to avoid this danger.

But when his guesses were confirmed by someone else, Fu Youhan still trembled at heart, overwhelmed with grief.

His Xixi was really foolish; despite having sensed the incoming danger and having the ability to avoid it all,

she bravely chose to stay because of his proposal, thereby putting herself in danger.

Thinking of this, Fu Youhan was heartbroken, pleading with Cang Ming in an almost hoarse voice.

"I know I was wrong, I truly realize my mistake. Can you please tell me Xixi’s current whereabouts? I want to take good care of her, I want to properly repent to her..."

"Don’t say that I don’t know the current lodging location of Xuanming, even if I did know, I would not tell you. Someone like you doesn’t deserve to stand by her side!"

Cang Ming harshly pushed Fu Youhan out of his room and quickly slammed the door shut.

Fu Youhan furiously rang the doorbell and kicked at the door handle, breaking the door open.

Cang Ming bluntly stated: "Even if you break this room down, you wouldn’t get her whereabouts, because I’ve already stepped down and truly don’t know where they are staying now."

As Fu Youhan helplessly left the hotel, he suddenly remembered Director Jing, who had previously gone to the police station to bail out Jiang Moxi.

If Jiang Moxi was Dead Ghost, then Director Jing must be... Scavenger!

That’s why every time he saw Jiang Moxi at the police station, there would always be news about Scavenger appearing near the police station.

With this realization, Fu Youhan immediately pulled up the last investigation report about Director Jing, seeing that four years ago, he passed the civil service exam and is currently the director of the Cultural Center!

So, Fu Youhan contacted someone from the Cultural Bureau to find out Director Jing’s current address.

But the person from the Cultural Bureau told Fu Youhan, "The apartment where Director Jing previously lived was provided by our Cultural Center! But he resigned a week ago and has already moved out, so we don’t know his current address."

Fu Youhan had anticipated this outcome before searching for Director Jing.

After all, Scavenger only appears near Dead Ghost, and with Dead Ghost Jiang Moxi having left Yan City, Director Jing would naturally have left as well.

Fu Youhan then attempted to track Director Jing by facial recognition, but discovered that, just like Jiang Moxi and Si Lin, all their traces had vanished.

At this moment, Fu Youhan suddenly recalled what Jiang Moxi had said to him during their engagement.

"From now on, you can’t abandon me for Wen You again."

"I want you to swear earnestly. And if you break your promise again, I will make sure that you never see me again in your lifetime, my words hold true."

He, Fu Youhan, had not fulfilled the promise he once made to Jiang Moxi, and just as she had said, she had completely disappeared from his sight.

Fu Youhan sat in the car, looking out at the vast snowy landscape through the window, recalling all these events, and his eyes reddened once again.

He murmured over and over, "Xixi, I really know I was wrong. Can you come back to me?"

But no one responded to him.

Only the snow falling outside the car window continued, as if narrating an elegy for someone...
