Chapter 5 "Rubbish"

"what?!"

"Lost again?!"

Mu Qingcheng stood up in a flash, her brows furrowed, her hands clenched, and her neat back teeth were almost broken by her biting.

She couldn't count how many times she had lost Qin Chuyu.

In fact, she had found Qin Chuyu's whereabouts a year ago and had been sending people to follow and investigate him.

As a result, every time I either lost him or couldn't find him, and it took a long time to find him again.

The investigation also fell on deaf ears.

Apart from some outdated information, I didn't find anything useful.

Mu Qingcheng suspected that there was someone behind this guy who had been helping him hide his tracks, making it impossible for her to lock on to him.

He never has just one route, and you never know where he will appear.

Sometimes he appeared in the Imperial Capital, sometimes in the Demonic Capital, and sometimes he ran to the Yunzhou Mountains.

The most outrageous time was when Mu Qingcheng thought she had found Qin Chuyu and chased him all the way to the great desert in the Western Regions.

The final result, of course, was that she followed his trail for several days under the scorching sun, and then someone below suddenly reported that the salted fish had appeared in Guangzhou!

Mu Qingcheng almost went berserk on the spot!

This happened more than once!

She was fooled by Qin Chuyu many times and couldn't find him after searching hundreds of places.

Mu Qingcheng tried to find out who was helping him cover his tracks.

In the end, there was still no news and nothing came of it.

However, this made Mu Qingcheng certain that someone was indeed helping this salted fish cover his whereabouts.

And it is very likely that someone she could not imagine was helping him.

But on second thought, Qin Chuyu was just an ordinary college student before. Even if he was awesome and had a lucky life, it was impossible for him to let such an awesome person help him cover his whereabouts for five years, right?

He is not the male protagonist in a cool novel.

Mu Qingcheng was overwhelmed.

The reason why she found Qin Chuyu this time was completely by accident.

Now he ran away again, and I don’t know how long it will take to catch this salted fish.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come back. I would have just been there waiting for him."

Mu Qingcheng was a little annoyed.

She has always put her career first, and when she heard that the company had problems, she subconsciously rushed back without stopping.

By the time she realized what was happening, she was already on the plane.

At that time, she was secretly glad that she had arranged someone to follow him and would not lose them again.

As a result, the slap she received now hurts more than it did five years ago.

Listening to the continuous apologies coming from the other end of the phone, Mu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew that it was useless to be angry now.

"Where did you lose him?" Mu Qingcheng asked after adjusting her mood.

"At the entrance of a tunnel, but judging from the direction he's heading, he should be heading to the high-speed rail station," said the bodyguard.

"I see."

Mu Qingcheng hung up the phone and immediately asked someone to check Qin Chuyu's whereabouts.

Soon, Qin Chuyu's whereabouts were reported.

Looking at the dozen or so routes to different destinations, Mu Qingcheng was no longer surprised.

Every time I try to find this salted fish, it’s basically like solving a puzzle.

Not only do you have to think about where he will go, but you also have to rely on luck.

If most people encounter this situation two or three times, they will probably lose their temper.

But Mu Qingcheng won’t.

She is a person with a very stubborn temper, and she will never give up until she achieves her goal.

After five years of settling down and growing up, and having seen countless storms, she is no longer the little girl whose mentality easily collapses.

Looking at the dozens of different routes above, Mu Qingcheng pondered for a moment: "Since they are taking the high-speed rail, it proves that this salted fish will not run too far. My daughter can't stand such a long high-speed rail..."

"Hiss, I can't say for sure. This guy has a weird temper. What if he really took his daughter on a high-speed train for so long just to confuse me?"

"Fuck! If he dares to play like this, and if anything happens to his daughter, he'll just have to wait to be turned into salted fish and eggplant stew!"

After looking for a while, Mu Qingcheng was surprised and found: "Huh? This route... is a mountain town?"

She was a little surprised.

The small mountain town was where she made her first fortune, and she almost opened a decent-sized company there.

It was also there that she first encountered the salted fish.

She still has a small room there to this day.

For five years, she would occasionally return to that place, and to the small room where they once lived, just to see if this salted fish would come back.

Unfortunately, in five years, Xianyu has never returned to the mountain town.

Maybe it’s because this place is very close to her home.

"Will he come back here this time?"

"Will you still go back to his home?"

Mu Qingcheng looked at the two most likely routes and fell into deep thought.

If you are a normal person, you will definitely go home after not being home for such a long time.

But she always felt that this salted fish was not an ordinary person. Previous experience told her that this salted fish always liked to do things against her thinking.

The more likely the place, the less likely he is to appear.

On the contrary, the more you think he is unlikely to appear, the more likely he will appear.

Besides, according to Mu Qingcheng's previous investigation, because this salty fish suddenly had a daughter right after entering college, there were a lot of rumors about him and many people disliked him.

This may be the reason why he has hardly been home in the past five years.

Having made up his mind, Mu Qingcheng had no time to rest and planned to take advantage of some free time to go to the mountain town first.

Just as she stood up, a powerful voice suddenly rang out: "Qingcheng, where are you going in such a hurry?"

When Mu Qingcheng turned around, she saw a middle-aged man in sportswear and with gray hair slowly walking down from the second floor.

Perhaps it is because he has been in a high position for many years, even though he looks gentle and elegant, wears a pair of glasses and has a refined temperament, he still gives people a feeling of awe without even being angry.

"Dad." Mu Qingcheng shouted.

Mu Zhan looked at his daughter who had been away from home for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "What have you been busy with all this time? You have never been at home or at the company. Your mother went to the company to look for you yesterday but she didn't see you."

"Don't worry about it, Dad. I have my own things to do."

Having said that, Mu Qingcheng grabbed her bag and was about to leave.

"Gu You is back, don't you plan to go and see him?" Mu Zhan's words made Mu Qingcheng stop in her tracks.

"Your mother came to see you yesterday just to ask you if you still want to be with Gu You. If you do, she can bring you two together."

"After all, Gu You said a long time ago that he didn't mind what happened to you six years ago. Instead, he felt very guilty, thinking that he had failed to protect you six years ago."

"It seems that he still cares about you very much."

"It's been so many years, and Gu You has come out of it. Can't you come out of it too?"

Mu Qingcheng pursed her lips and said calmly, "This has nothing to do with whether I leave or not. I used to like Gu You, but that was in the past. What happened back then was caused by my own stupidity and arrogance. It has nothing to do with him. Tell him not to blame himself."

"As for being together..."

"Forget it. There are so many good women in the world. Why bother with a loser like me?"

After saying that, Mu Qingcheng left in a hurry.

Looking at Mu Qingcheng's back, Mu Zhan slowly exhaled and shook his head helplessly.

He knew how deeply the word "trash" hurt Mu Qingcheng.

Because this was the word that Gu You used to curse her when they had an argument six years ago and he was furious.

At that moment, it seemed that all of Mu Qingcheng's feelings for Gu You ended because of this word "trash".

Although she still regards Gu You as her childhood brother, they can never go back to the way they were before.

Mu Zhan knows his daughter too well. If she wants to end a relationship, she will end it immediately and never look back.

Gu You would never have thought that his angry words would completely ruin the possibility of him and Mu Qingcheng.

"Old Feng."

A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a suit, came to Mu Zhan and asked respectfully, "Master, what's the matter?"

"Go check what the young lady has been doing during this period, and..."

Mu Zhan paused for a moment, then said, "What happened to the young lady in Shancheng Town five years ago? Find out the details and don't miss any clues."

"Yes."

Mu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Mu Qingcheng had been hiding something from him for the past five years and refused to tell him.

He could also guess that it was definitely because of what happened six years ago.

That was the night when Mu Qingcheng was drugged.

He learned about this the next day, and at noon the next day, he gave the scum the same medicine and threw it into the pigsty.

Until he died in the pigsty.

He thought the matter was over.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Because his men kept reporting that the group of scum were begging for mercy, saying that they only drugged Mu Qingcheng and did not have time to attack her.

But later, when Mu Qingcheng was arguing with Gu You, she said that she was indeed eaten up by someone.

Also saw red.

Only then did Gu You call her a slut.

By the time Mu Zhan reacted, it was too late.

When he sent people to investigate what happened in her mountain town, he found out that everything had been secretly covered up by his beloved daughter, and his people found nothing.

And Mu Qingcheng also disappeared for a while.

Because they understood their methods, his people never found Mu Qingcheng.

Finally, eight months later, Mu Qingcheng returned home by herself.

Moreover, when Mu Qingcheng came back, her complexion looked extremely ugly and her body was very weak.

She has always been a strong-willed person, and she dared to run around the world even when she had her period, but that time she had to lie down for a whole month before she could cheer up again.

The only thing that was found out later seemed to be that it was related to an ordinary person who had disappeared five years ago and was believed to have been killed by Mu Qingcheng and thrown away somewhere unknown.

"Qin Chuyu?"

"What on earth did you do, little guy, to make Qingcheng so angry that she destroyed the corpse?"

"Could it be that you ate Qingcheng clean in the beginning?"

……

Guicheng is a small city located in Lang Province that is not even a fourth-tier city.

Although this place is remote, it has a large population. There are more than two million people in this small town.

Although the development here is not rapid and cannot keep up with the pace of big cities, it is much better than similar small cities.

Qin Chuyu came out of the high-speed rail station, took Xiaoqi and Xiaoming into a taxi, and went directly to their hometown.

He had already found out that his parents had gone back to their hometown to escape the summer heat and were not staying in the house near the city center that he had bought for them.

Looking at the scenery that was unfamiliar yet still vaguely familiar, Qin Chuyu was a little dazed.

In the past five years, in order to avoid that woman Mu Qingcheng, and because he was either carrying out missions or helping them research things at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he rarely brought Xiao Qi back.

Even when he comes back, it’s rarely.

Ever since he left home in despair with Xiaoqi and Xiaoming, he has only returned home twice in the past five years.

One time was four years ago when his grandmother passed away and he did not bring Xiaoqi and the others back.

At that time, Xiaoqi and her friends were too young to endure the fatigue of the journey.

Another time, about a year and a half ago, he took Xiaoqi and the others back to meet their grandparents, uncles, and aunts. They only stayed for a day and a half before leaving.

Now, after such a long time, he still has complicated feelings when he brings Xiaoqi and the others home again.

Qin Chuyu had just returned to his hometown. Just as he got off the car and wanted to buy something to take back, he suddenly heard Xiao Qi beside him shouting excitedly:

"Dad, look! It's Uncle Aaron!"
