To seduce her

The basement was dark and damp, and the air seemed solidified, filled with a mixed smell of mold and dust.

Mu Yian curled up in the corner, pressed against the cold wall, as if trying to blend himself into the darkness.

Her heartbeat was like a drum, especially loud in the silence. Every beat pulled at her tense nerves, almost suffocating her.

The faint light seeped in from the narrow vents and shone on her pale face, adding a somewhat eerie atmosphere to the dark space.

Her hands were tightly clasped around her cell phone, which was her only connection to the outside world.

Suddenly, the vibration of a cell phone broke the silence.

Mu Yian was startled. She quickly glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from her assistant. She frowned and her finger hovered over the answer button.

Mu Yian hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

On the other end of the phone, the assistant's voice was anxious and nervous: "Ms. Mu, you must not take a step out of that place. They have increased their search efforts. You are in danger now."

"They?" Mu Yian said impatiently.

"Yes..." The assistant's voice trembled slightly: "Not only are the two Gao family bosses looking for you, but it seems that someone in the Gao family has also noticed something, including the Qi family..."

Hearing this, Mu Yian felt a chill on his back.

Her sudden disappearance made everyone panic, but also made everyone point the finger at her.

Mu Yian's irritability and dissatisfaction became more and more intense. She lowered her voice with obvious anger in her tone: "Since you know the danger, don't call me for such meaningless things. It will easily expose my location."

The assistant seemed stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice: "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you. I'll pay attention!"

Mu Yian's chest rose and fell violently, as if he could lose his temper at any time.

She calmed down a bit and asked, "Have you followed the clues from Qi's father and mother?"

"Yes, the Qi family went to look for Mr. Qi, but it didn't seem to go well." The assistant said cautiously, "Otherwise they wouldn't have come back without any news."

Mu Yian pursed her lips. She knew, of course, that things were not going well for them.

If all goes well, Mr. Qi, who has already "conquered" Lugang, will also stop Mu Yian in front of her to resist the Gao family in order to get the remaining medicine in her hands.

Mu Yian felt a little desperate. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her inner turmoil.

She knew that now was not the time to vent her emotions. She needed to stay calm and deal with everything in front of her.

As long as there is chaos, the Qi family's shield will be of no use.

Mu Yian hummed softly, "Please keep an eye on their movements for me at any time. Then, today's medicine will be delivered an hour later."

"Delivered late?" The assistant was a little surprised: "No delivery, or will it be delivered in an hour?"

"Okay, one hour." Mu Yian's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty coldness: "It's time to give them a warning. If they don't think of a solution, I won't send them any more medicine."

"Okay, Miss Mu."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Yian fell into silence again. She knew that the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, but she couldn't panic and had to stay calm.

The air in the basement seemed to become heavier, and Mu Yian's heartbeat became more rapid.

At this time, she could only endure and play games with them to survive.

----

Qi Xiurui walked out of the yard slowly. The sun was shining brightly at this time. It was not scorching hot, but warm enough to make people feel comfortable.

This kind of sunshine is perfect for taking a walk, and for Qi Xiurui, it is a good way to absorb energy.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I unexpectedly saw a man talking to a servant in the yard.

Qi Xiurui felt that person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment.

The man suddenly handed the servant a small medicine bottle, said something to the servant, and then turned and left.

The conversation between the two was very quiet, not enough for Qi Xiurui to catch the content.

Qi Xiurui couldn't help but slow down his pace and frowned.

He was very familiar with that medicine bottle. Just an hour ago, he had personally received such a medicine bottle.

The medicine was now lying quietly in his room. He had even divided out the first dose and put it into the medicine bottle that he would send to Shen Yaochu later.

So, what about this medicine that has just been delivered?

An inexplicable sense of uneasiness welled up in his heart, and his eyes moved back and forth between the backs of the servant and the man who delivered the medicine.

Various possibilities flashed through Qi Xiurui's mind. Was it sent to the wrong place? Or was it done on purpose?

Every thought made him feel more and more uneasy.

The servant looked down at the medicine in his hand and went back into the yard.

The moment he turned around, his eyes met Qi Xiurui's.

The servant's already pale face became even uglier the moment he saw Qi Xiurui, as if he was frightened by the secret that was suddenly revealed.

Her eyes flickered, revealing a bit of fear in her panic.

Qi Xiurui noticed something unusual about the servant and became even more suspicious.

He walked forward, his tone calm but with unquestionable majesty: "What's going on? Why did you send the medicine now? I clearly received the medicine this morning."

The servant's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

She clenched the medicine bag tightly in both hands, her knuckles turned white from the force, and her inner nervousness and panic were obvious.

Not only that, the servant's body was also trembling slightly, as if he could not bear the sudden pressure.

Qi Xiurui looked at the servant's appearance and his doubts grew even more serious.

He asked in a deep voice: "What is going on? I need an explanation."

The servant was frightened by Qi Xiurui's persistent questioning. She raised her head in panic, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.

Her lips trembled, and she managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long while: "I... I don't know, you can ask the master, I just did what the master told me to do, please don't embarrass me, Master."

After saying this, she seemed to be afraid that Qi Xiurui would continue to ask questions, so she turned around and left as if escaping.

Her back gradually disappeared from Qi Xiurui's sight, leaving only the tension and uneasiness in the air.

Looking at the servant's fleeing back, Qi Xiurui frowned, clenched his fists, and his face became gloomy.

He strode into the study, and every step seemed to be a question.

Qi Xiurui didn't knock on the door. He pushed open the door of the study and walked in front of Qi's father.

Qi's father seemed frightened by his sudden intrusion and closed the laptop in front of him somewhat awkwardly.

"Xiao Rui, what's wrong with you?"

Qi Xiurui looked gloomy, staring at his father: "Dad, I just saw the person delivering the medicine coming over."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"And I, an hour ago, received the medicine you gave me."
