Chapter 1374 So-Called Love and Hate 2

The first ray of the morning light streamed in through the window, but the biting wind and rain made it all seem even bleaker.

It was Christmas Eve, so the whole of City Z seemed to be livelier than usual. When Li Si’s car drove through the bustling city in the morning, he could hear the streets bustling with excitement.

Apart from Li Si in the car, there was also Ah Mo whom everyone had not met for a long while

Ah Mo and Qi Lei only returned to City Z at midnight last night. After they landed, Ah Bao arranged for them to stay at a hotel. Early this morning, Ah Mo had gotten up and wanted to quickly see Mu Yuchen, thus Li Si came to fetch him.

“Thankfully, you’re alright. While you were missing, everyone was very worried, especially Miss Lingshi, but because she didn’t want everyone to worry, she could only endure it. Even though Master didn’t say anything, he was extremely worried as well.”

In the back seat of the car, Li Si handed the document to Ah Mo. “These are the information that we’ve gathered according to what you wanted. Take a look. If it’s all there, then we’ll hand it to the authorities. Last night, Master asked me to go over first thing in the morning. I think because of this, Doris has escaped, and it won’t be that easy for us to catch her right now.”

Ah Mo took it calmly and flipped through it while gloominess crossed his handsome face. He then nodded, “Everything’s pretty much in here. Is she trying to escape? It won’t be that easy! This whole thing was her idea. If it weren’t for us being alert, I have no doubt that they wanted to kill us.”

“Mmm, Master thought about that as well. Earlier, you were all safe, but later on, things on Doris’s end worsened. It was hard to guarantee that she wasn’t going to do anything to you all. Thankfully, you were all quick-witted, and Qi Lei…is he alright?” Li Si did not forget to ask about Qi Lei.

“A bullet did scrape past his arm, but otherwise, he’s alright, Ah Bao has already brought him for a check-up and treatment. His situation isn’t much better than us. He’s been missing for so long, but why didn’t I hear about Qi Qiming sending people out to look for him? With Qi Qiming’s influence, it couldn’t have been hard to look for someone.”

Ah Mo did not forget Qi Qiming’s background and given their disappearance this time, it was enough to make him feel bitterly disappointed.

Upon hearing that, Li Si could not help but smirk in contempt. “You don’t know this, but Qi Qiming let Qi Feng handle all of this. Say, why would Qi Feng get people to find Second Master Qi so soon? Unless he really doesn’t want Qi Lei in the picture anymore, who knows? He might be behind this incident too. Don’t forget who Doris is to Qi Feng.”

At that point, Ah Mo did not refute and just nodded. “If that’s the case, then I really do feel sad for Second Master Qi.”

“I’ve mentioned this to Master, but Master told me not to deal with that. He wanted to see what Qi Qiming would do, but no action was taken. He just left it all to Qi Feng, the one who doesn’t want Qi Lei around!” Li Si said as he could not help but feel worried.

“Alright, I trust Brother’s judgment. Perhaps, he was considering something. Besides, now that Qi Lei has returned safely, I’d like to know how Qi Qiming plans to face him.” When Ah Mo looked at Li Si’s tense expression, he could not help but chuckle and pat him on the shoulder.

Li Si only huffed a long sigh to himself.

The car drove slowly into the Grand Waves Villa area and parked steadily in front of the entrance of Maple Residence. When they asked the guards to open the gates, they heard that Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye had returned quite late last night and were still asleep at the moment.

Ah Mo and Li Si exchanged a glance and then walked into the villa.

The living room was indeed quiet. Ah Mo had wanted to sit and wait for a while when suddenly there seemed to be a sound coming from the kitchen. In fact, the kitchen light was switched on. He thought about it, then walked over.

He had just pushed open the heavy glass door when a tempting aroma assailed his nostrils, so he quickly looked up.

Indeed, he saw Mu Yuchen standing at the stove, frying an egg. He was dressed in a casual lounge outfit and seemed quite focused.

Perhaps because he could sense movement behind him, Mu Yuchen slowly turned back, and when he saw Ah Mo standing by the door, his eyes studied him for a bit. Upon seeing that he was alright, he averted his gaze and did not say anything. Instead, he asked with a low voice, “Have you had breakfast?”

Ah Mo did not expect Mu Yuchen to ask that, so he was stunned. Then, he smiled cheerfully. “Not yet. I woke up quite early and rushed over with Li Si. It’s Christmas Eve, so the streets were quite lively, and there was a slight jam.”

“Have some breakfast first then.” Mu Yuchen put the egg in the pan onto a plate and began to cook the next one.

“Oh, sure.” Ah Mo quickly helped him out.

Breakfast was ready in a jiffy. There was fried eggs, milk, some pastries, and a vegetable and fruit salad.

After Mu Yuchen served the breakfast, he took a hot towel from Li Si to wipe his hands before inviting, “Have a seat.”

“Has the Missus…not woken up yet?” Li Si asked.

“She was too tired last night. Let her rest for a while more,” Mu Yuchen answered with a calm expression and then sat down to enjoy his breakfast. The other two then followed suit and sat down.

Soon after that, when Mu Yuchen was drinking his last sip of milk, he said in a deep voice, “Ah Bao has told me about your situation over there, I’m aware of the rough situation.”

Ah Mo took a napkin to wipe his mouth as well and responded, “Can we hand the evidence to the authorities now then, and get them to arrest Doris?”

“I was just about to talk to you about this.” Mu Yuchen got up slowly and walked towards the sofa.

Ah Mo and Li Si exchanged a look and quickly followed him.

After Mu Yuchen poured himself a glass of water and sat down on the sofa, he pointed at the spot across him and indicated for the two of them to sit, so Ah Mo and Li Si took a seat.

“A while back, Li Si got the information about Gu Qiwu which I roughly sifted through. What led to all of these was just Doris wanting to force Gu Qiwu to give in, but when it came to someone like Gu Qiwu, she clearly miscalculated. Gu Qiwu didn’t fall for it though I have to say that Doris was quite smart to use you as a chess piece. We did get one hit, but because of this, Lingshi was hospitalized.”

When Mu Yuchen said that, Ah Mo’s eyes instantly darkened. Li Si had already told him about Mu Lingshi being hospitalized. “I wish I could kill Doris!”
