Chapter 428: We’re Even, Chief Mu

With a sudden motion, Mu Xichen threw off his blanket and strode out of the room, calling out, “Li Beinian!”

Silence.

He got up, opened the room door, and walked out.

The morning sun streamed in through the balcony. There was no one in the living room.

The kitchen was empty, as was the other room.

The only thing left behind was the dried-up patch on the bed.

The man panicked at once and shouted, “Li Beinian, where are you!”

Silence.

His loud holler quickly faded in the lifeless house.

Just like the woman who lingered with him through the night, it faded without a trace.

A sudden breeze swept through the house, lifting a piece of paper on the table. It fluttered feebly.

The movement caught Mu Xichen’s attention, and he quickly walked towards it.

On the table, other than a key to a Land Rover and a title deed document, there were a bunch of keys on it.

Apart from these, there was also a gold-colored bank card.

He clenched his fists and tightened his jaw.

He pulled out the fluttering piece of paper from under the keys. The handwriting on it was graceful and aesthetically impressive. It said: This is my car, and thanks to you, the villa from Mu Donglin. The bank card gives access to all the money that I’ve made during this period, 1.5 million all up. The PIN is my birthday. I can never repay you for saving my life, but I’ve given you my first time. Thank you. We’re even now, Chief Mu.

As Mu Xichen read the note, he could clearly see the image of her mischievous smile in his mind’s eye.

It suddenly felt as though a part of his heart had been ruthlessly gorged out, leaving a gaping hole!

It bled at once, the pain sending him into hysteria.

He stared at the note for a long time, tightening his fist gradually. Eventually, he let out an icy laugh. He was completely consumed by anger.

He crushed the piece of paper into a tight ball and threw it down forcefully. He was on the verge of losing his sanity as he gave the coffee table a hard kick, hollering, “Damn you and getting even!”

And even then, that crushing pain in his chest would not be relieved.

He tried taking a few deep breaths, but ultimately, he was helplessly defeated by this reality. Feeling lost, he clutched his head in hopelessness.

The memory of the night before lingered, her enthusiasm fresh in his mind.

Obviously, it was her first time too.

He heard her calling his name over and over again. How could she have done this to him and then turn and walk away the next day like it didn’t matter!

His breathing became anxious, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

He turned and walked back into the room, picked up his cell phone, and dialed a number.

Gu Mingye was doing his daily workout when he heard Mu Xichen’s call. He smirked and connected the line. “Boss, how have the last two days been?”

Initially, he had thought that Mu Xichen would put on a cool-act reply in his usual nonchalance, “So-so.”

He didn’t expect that, instead, Mu Xichen would suddenly shout into the phone, “Track her down! Track her down right now!”

Gu Mingye shuddered and immediately held his posture pencil straight like a soldier.

Mu Xichen had a temper. Gu Mingye had known the man for more than twenty years, and it wasn’t as though he had never had an angry outburst.

Only, Mu Xichen had always kept it well-hidden.

Even when he was angry, he appeared calm and steady.

He had never behaved like this.

Gu Mingye was most concerned and asked cautiously, “Whom… do you wish to track down?”

“Li Beinian!” Mu Xichen had completely lost self-control now. “I want her found before it gets dark!”

Gu Mingye gulped and said, “What… what if we can’t find her?”

As though he had calmed down, there was a momentary silence. Then, Mu Xichen spoke again, “Then, you may collect my dead body.”
