Chapter 183 Why Is the Woman Crying?

 

In the dimly lit office, if it weren’t for her rhythmic chest movement from breathing, one might have mistaken that she had been dead.

It was approaching midnight. Lu Jinye had decided that he would not wait any longer if she had not woken up.

He bent forward to lift Mu Zhi off the couch, but Mu Zhi spontaneously buried into his embrace, showing no sign of waking up.

Lu Jinye figured that Mu Zhi must be living at Jian Xiaoning’s place, but he was not certain where her place was. Thus, Lu Jinye brought Mu Zhi back to his place.

…

Earlier that day, after completing a surgical procedure at the hospital and preparing to set off for home, Jian Xiaoning received a phone call from the kindergarten to inform her to pick up Mu Xiaomu. It was two hours since school had finished.

Jian Xiaoning was wondering to herself why Mu Zhi did not show up for Mu Xiaomu while she went to bring her home.

 

Afterward, she hurriedly rang Mu Zhi to ask her about her whereabouts.

But the call was not answered.

Jian Xiaoning went on to make several more attempts but to no avail.

 

It was midnight, and Mu Zhi did not return home. Jian Xiaoning could no longer stay in her seat. She finally decided to call everyone that might be related to Mu Zhi and Lu Jinye was the first of her deducted list.

Lu Jinye had just tucked Mu Zhi into the bed when he received Jian Xiaoning’s call.

To avoid disturbing Mu Zhi’s sleep, Lu Jinye headed down to the lounge to answer the call.

Jian Xiaoning burst out in a flurry as soon as her call was answered.

“Hello, have you seen Mu Zhi? She’s gone missing and didn’t pick up Mu Xiaomu from school today. Do you think she might be suicidal?”
