Chapter 529: Chapter 223: Qin Qin Leaves Jingdu City_2

Qin Qin lifted her hand, wrinkled with age, and the two men in black, noticing this, their expressions darkened slightly, thinking how could this possibly be their lady? She was clearly an old woman.

When Qin Qin removed her veil, the two men in black jumped at the sight of the scars on her face. Was she burnt by fire?

"Are we done?" Qin Qin asked with a hoarse and aged voice, and the two men in black gave an apologetic smile before turning to leave.

The car door closed, and the long-distance bus slowly departed. Qin Qin looked toward the group of Mo Clan members who were still diligently checking nearby; her gaze seemingly pierced through Jingdu City as if she was trying to see something far beyond it.

Mo Yunchen, I’m sorry, forgive me for not being able to meet you with this face, to face everyone.

She must find out if there is a way to cure the Scorching Heart Gu; if she can, she will return to his side as quickly as possible.

In the Mo Clan prison, Jing Zhiyue was locked up. She lay on the ground, her face brutally slashed, just as disfigured as Qin Qin, missing the middle and ring fingers of her right hand. That was the punishment for slipping the ring Mo Yunchen had given Qin Qin onto her own finger, a deed discovered by Mo Tang who had them ruthlessly chopped off. Her wounds were crudely dressed; they would not let her die so easily, waiting for Mo Yunchen’s judgment.

Jing Zhiyue sat in the cell, laughing coldly. By now, Mo Yunchen must be troubled over Qin Qin! No wonder he hadn’t the time to deal with her?!

It was her negligence this time. How could she not anticipate that Mo Yunchen might recognize her? Why did he see through her disguise? To this moment, she couldn’t figure it out. Was it something she said during their encounter, or what?

Was he so deeply in love with Qin Qin that he recognized her on sight as not Qin Qin? How ridiculous she had been, comforting herself that Mo Yunchen’s love for Qin Qin couldn’t be that profound.

Her failure stemmed from her unwillingness to believe that Mo Yunchen loved Qin Qin too deeply. However, reality showed that man’s love for Qin Qin was profound. Oh sister, why is your fate so good in both lives? Why do such outstanding men love you in both lives? Why not her? Hence, she hated her, hated Qin Qin’s excellence, hated Qin Qin’s fortunate fate!

Footsteps approached, followed by the sound of someone falling with a muffled groan. She lifted her head to look, and a tall man dressed as a member of the Mo Clan stood before her.

"Miss Jing, come with me."

"Who are you?!"

"The Honorable Master wants to see you."

All day, Jingdu City was on high alert, their vigilance unrelenting even deep into the night.

Mo Yunchen stood in the room he shared with Qin Qin, a suffering figure, his back stooped in anguish. The room had once been filled with her presence, but after Jing Zhiyue’s intrusion, he ordered it sanitized and cleaned, fearing his Qinqin would be upset by any lingering evidence. However, her own scent had also been eradicated with the cleansing.

Mo Tang entered, his eyes filled with sorrow and heartache upon seeing Mo Yunchen. This was the first time he had ever seen Master Mo like this, transformed so by his wife.

"Master Mo!"

Mo Yunchen turned around, looking at Mo Tang, "Have you found her?"

Qin Qin had disappeared, and he had searched everywhere possible, even pressing Lu Xuezhen for answers, to no avail.

Mo Tang bowed his head, answering softly, "I’m sorry, Master Mo, there’s still no news of the lady."

They had scoured every possible hiding place throughout Jingdu City, but there was not a single trace of her.

Mo Yunchen closed his eyes, his well-defined fingers balling into tightly clenched fists. She was hiding from him, not wanting to be found.

Mo Sheng entered in a panic, kneeling on one knee before Mo Yunchen, "Master Mo, Jing Zhiyue has escaped from the Mo Clan."

Mo Tang’s expression changed dramatically. How could Jing Zhiyue have possibly escaped the tightly guarded prison?

No sooner had Mo Sheng spoken than they felt the room turn cold and bloodthirsty. He bowed his head, not daring to meet Mo Yunchen’s gaze.

"How did she escape?"

Mo Yunchen’s voice was low, carried an indifferent tone that seemed not to ripple, yet Mo Tang and Mo Sheng recognized the icy undercurrent in his words.

"It seems the Mo Clan... has a traitor among them."

After Mo Sheng mentioned the traitor, Mo Tang also knelt down, "Please punish us, Master Mo."

The Mo Clan had always been managed by the two of them; now that a traitor had surfaced, they could not shirk responsibility.

"Good, very good, to think that my Mo Clan would be infiltrated by a traitor?!" His sharp eyes, filled with animosity, fell upon the two men.

The Mo Clan was supposed to be impregnable, yet someone had managed to insert an agent into his stronghold.

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly! Once this matter is settled, both of you will spend some time in the prison."

After Mo Yunchen spoke calmly, Mo Tang and Mo Sheng bowed their heads, "Yes, sir!"
