It has been a month since he arrived in Jiangcheng, and Meng Jiyi has not contacted Li Xin.
She was afraid that Lu Ye would notice.
Meng Ji had read the news on the Internet, and only the media published a few news in the days after her accident.
The news did not reveal who from Lu Ye fell into the water, but he was probably pushed down by the man.
After Meng Ji waited for a few days, she didn't even see Lu Ye holding a funeral for her.
Did Lu Ye still not believe that he was "dead"?
Meng Ji, who was far away in Jiangcheng, began to feel uneasy and inexplicably flustered.
In the middle of the night, she curled up in bed and had nightmares.
In the dream, Lu Ye turned into a ferocious wolf, chasing after her, staring at her with cold green eyes.
This road seemed to have no end, and she couldn't escape no matter how hard she ran.
Meng Ji felt cold all over his body, and that feeling became more and more real.
She woke up from her dream, all the hair on her body stood up. The bedroom window was not closed tightly, and it was raining heavily outside.
Lightning suddenly fell in the sky, and she could clearly see the direction in the bedroom in her dream.
nobody.
It's just a dream.
She relaxed, took the cold water on the bedside table, and drank it in one gulp.
There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead because of the nightmare, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable.
Meng Ji turned on his phone and looked at the time. It was now six in the morning, and it would be dawn in a while.
She wasn't in the mood to sleep anyway, so she moved a stool and sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to look outside.
Tonight's dream was a warning to her.
I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in Jiangcheng for long.
*
Capital City, Jade Manor.
It's also raining here, but not too hard.
Lu Ye sat on the soft carpet in front of the master bedroom window, half leaning against the wall. There were several empty wine bottles scattered on the floor.
He still held a half-drunk glass of red wine in his right hand.
Her hair was messy, her collar was casually unbuttoned, and her abdominal muscles were looming in the night.
Seems a little lonely.
It’s rainy again.
Lu Ye was so drunk that he felt like he saw Meng Ji in a daze.
Wearing a pure white dress, she danced in front of her.
But later, the white skirt on her body turned dark red again, and her body danced more and more frequently.
Getting further and further away from myself.
Gradually it was swallowed up by the waves.
Lu Ye raised his head suddenly, and the smell of grass and earth after the rain entered his nose.
It's daytime now, and the birds outside the window are chirping.
He had been hungover all day and all night recently, making him dizzy.
"Bang bang——"
There was a soft knock on the door, followed by Chen Mu's somewhat tired reply.
"Second Master, we have a clue."
Hearing these words, Lu Ye suddenly woke up.
Using the strength of the curtains with his hands, he staggered to his feet and stumbled out of the bedroom.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Mu smelled the strong smell of alcohol.
Looking again, his second master looked decadent, unshaven, and was still wearing Xitianqian's shirt. He had no image at all.
Chen Mu's hands holding the document tightened, and when he thought about the clues he found, his heart became even more blocked.
Madam, how dare you fake your own death to deceive the second master!
"Go to the study." Lu Ye said hoarsely.
He closed the door of the master bedroom and looked at the bed, his eyes a little complicated and subtle.
That was his and Meng Ji's territory, and he didn't want others to see it.
Sitting in the study, Lu Ye ordered a rare cigar.
Since marrying Meng Ji, he has hardly smoked.
Because Meng Ji didn't like the smell of tobacco, he naturally quit cigars.
There were no curtains or lights in the study, so Chen Mu could only see the scarlet color on Lu Ye's fingertips.
"Shua——"
Lu Ye opened the curtains, and the bright light outside the window shone in.
"Second Master, Miss Li didn't buy anything in the mall that day."
Chen Mu handed the Li Xin consumption record he found to Lu Ye, but the man didn't take it.
He exhaled, and the smoke filled the air, making it difficult for Chen Mu to see his face.
Chen Mu only felt that the atmosphere in the room was getting lower. He didn't need to look up to know that his second master's face was definitely full of gloom.
Lu Ye recalled how Meng Ji lied to him in the bathroom that day.
She said that Li Xin left the bag of gifts for her.
He also took the initiative to give himself a kiss.
"Ha." Lu Ye raised a mocking smile.
There was some reluctance and helplessness, as well as a hint of hatred.
She is a woman who is really good at acting.
Lu Ye recalled that Meng Ji behaved a little strangely that night, and he noticed it.
So Chen Mu was asked to quietly check Li Xin's transaction details on the day they went shopping.
"However, there are no unknown calls in Miss Li's address book, but she used other people's information to buy several tickets to the south a long time ago."
"I also used other means to prepare several apartments and bank cards."
Lu Ye smiled horribly. She and her friends were all little white rabbits.
Are you still trying to fight yourself?
Can't fight.
Chen Mu was hesitant. He also found out something and didn't know whether to tell the second master.
"Say." Lu Ye saw it and looked at him sharply.
Chen Mu's dark eyes sent a chill down his spine. He was a little afraid of such a second master.
"We sent people to check those houses, but no one was moving in."
"The card...one of them was issued in Jiang Xicheng's name."
After saying these few words, Chen Mu was already sweating profusely.
He felt that Lu Ye was the Living King of Hell now, and then he watched helplessly as the Living King of Hell pressed the unfinished cigar on the wooden desk.
Chen Mu felt very distressed.
This wood is Hainan Huanghuali, and it was finally made into a desk and brought to the manor.
Lu Ye's eyebrows were full of strange darkness, and his whole figure seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"Go south and check, it will take three days." Lu Ye's extremely cool voice sounded in the study.
"Check Jiang Xicheng again and find something for him to do. He seems to be unqualified for the construction of the West District."
"Yes, Second Master." After understanding the implication of Lu Ye's words, Chen Mu lowered his head and replied.
He also wanted to find Meng Ji quickly, but Chen Mu didn't even think about it these past few days.
The second master always stayed day and night. First, he stayed at the beach in Beijing for a week, and then asked himself to go to Miss Li.
He just looked for those few houses and bank cards, and spent a lot of time.
Moreover, since his wife faked her death, he felt that his second master's mood had become more and more violent.
Chen Mu quickly ran away and gently closed the study door.
Lu Ye stood in front of the desk, looking out expressionlessly.
This is the second time she has escaped. Was Jiang Xicheng involved in their escape plan?
She shouldn't, she shouldn't do this.
Lu Ye's eyes were cold and stern, he suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched his fingers into fists and kept exerting force.
Meng Ji, it's best that you never be found by me.
Lock her up when you find her, she's asking for it.
