Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 415 - Chapter 415 Chapter 413 She Lunged into His Arms

Chapter 415: Chapter 413: She Lunged into His Arms Chapter 415: Chapter 413: She Lunged into His Arms That special material is not cheap for sure, and its rarity means that even with pre-orders, availability isn’t guaranteed!

Ming Yao furrowed her brows, “How could the package just disappear?”

“I don’t know either; I’m checking, but the chance of retrieving it seems slim!”

Ming Yao had a vague sense that something was amiss.

How could something coming from customs go missing just like that?

And what a coincidence that it happened right when she was about to perform surgery on Mu Chengjin.

“Apart from me, who else knows about the surgical materials you ordered?”

“It was Second Senior Brother who helped to find the supplier.”

Ming Yao frowned.

Based on her understanding of Second Senior Brother, he would never do such a thing!

“If it really can’t be recovered, try to order it again. Once it’s available, go and get it personally!”

“Alright.”

After hanging up the phone, Ming Yao called Gu Siting.

“There’s been an issue; can you let Mu Chengjin know that the surgery might be delayed?”

Gu Siting trusted Ming Yao–when she reported a problem, it must be serious.

“Alright, I’ll tell Chengjin.”

Gu Siting headed to Mu Chengjin’s office to inform him of the delayed surgery.

After a moment of silence, Mu Chengjin said, “It’s alright, I’ve been incapacitated for so many years, whether I have the surgery or not doesn’t matter anymore.”

“Chengjin, don’t be so negative. It’s just a matter of time; you’ll definitely get better.”

Mu Chengjin waved his hand, “Fourth Brother, I still have things to do, please leave for now!”

Gu Siting couldn’t help but feel that Mu Chengjin seemed a bit distant towards him.

“Chengjin, don’t overthink it. I promise you’ll stand again.”

Mu Chengjin didn’t speak again.

Yin Zhe asked to meet Mu Chengjin once more.

He opened a box and showed Mu Chengjin a type of surgical material.

“This item was acquired by the Crown Prince at a high cost. Just give the nod, and the master surgeon will operate for you,” Yin Zhe closed the box. “You can join the Crown Prince’s camp once the surgery is successful. If it’s not, then pretend I never said anything.”

Mu Chengjin, desperate to stand again, was willing to take even a ten percent chance.

“Alright.”

Yin Zhe raised his hand, and he and Mu Chengjin gave each other a high-five.

“From now on, we’re both with the Crown Prince. Here’s to a good partnership!”

Mu Chengjin’s handsome face remained expressionless, “That’s if the surgery is successful.”

“Of course.”

…

Recently, Shi Ying has been able to recall some past events, but each time she tried to remember certain scenes, her head would split with pain.

Gu Siting took her to see a psychologist.

For patients with PTSD, psychological counseling is needed.

Shi Ying entered the psychologist’s office, and Gu Siting waited outside.

About half an hour later, a scream suddenly came from the office.

The psychologist opened the door and hurried out.

“Mr. Gu, Miss Shi’s defenses are too strong, I can’t help her.”

Gu Siting saw Shi Ying sitting on the ground, holding her head with trembling hands, and he quickly walked over.

“Sister Shi Ying, are you alright?”

Shi Ying slowly lifted her head, her eyes misty with a thin layer of moisture, and looked at Gu Siting.

“Ah Ting, my head hurts so much…”

Gu Siting grasped Shi Ying’s arm and helped her up from the ground.

She stumbled and fell toward Gu Siting’s embrace.

Gu Siting steadied her just in time.

He looked down at her, “You alright?”

Shi Ying gazed back at him, “I’m fine.”

Her eyes swirled like two small whirlpools, brimming with deep allure.

He wanted to look away, but his attention seemed to be captured.

Gradually, his head started to feel heavy.

Shi Ying wrapped her arm around the man’s, asking softly, “Ah Ting, do I look beautiful?”

Gu Siting looked at the woman’s pure and ethereal face in front of him, his thin lips moved slightly, “Beautiful.”

“Between me and Ming Yao, who is more beautiful?”

“You are.”

Shi Ying smiled contentedly.

…

Ming Yao felt somewhat guilty for having to postpone Mu Chengjin’s surgery.

She called Gu Siting, hoping to arrange a meeting with Mu Chengjin to explain, but Gu Siting wouldn’t answer her calls.

She sent a WeChat message, but he didn’t reply.

Ming Yao was puzzled, wondering what he was up to.

However, tonight was the grand finale of Idol 101, which Huo Ci was participating in. Ming Yao and her classmates from the 2023 batch had agreed to be there to cheer for Huo Ci.

Huo Ci was both handsome and rebellious, with outstanding singing and dancing skills, maintaining his popularity throughout the competition.

In the final, he performed nearly perfectly and debuted as the center position, garnering the highest popularity votes.

Ming Yao and her classmates from the 2023 batch were overjoyed.

However, what no one expected was, right after Huo Ci debuted as the center, a post quietly appeared.

And with the speed of lightning, it climbed the trending searches.

People who saw the post had their worldviews shattered.

As many as had supported Huo Ci, that’s how many cursed him after reading it.

Post title: [Exposing The Real Face of Idol 101 Debut Center]

Content: [My sister Xiao Lei used to work as a maid for the Huo Family. She was just eighteen, young and beautiful. She did her job dutifully, but unexpectedly, she caught the eye of the Devil Young Master.

He harassed her daily, and when she resisted, he threatened her. Because of him, she started suffering from depression. But the Devil Young Master didn’t let her be, and on one occasion after a drinking binge with his classmates, when my sister brought sobering tea to his room, he…]

Afterward, he denied everything and slandered my sister, until his grandfather discovered the truth and kicked him out of the Huo Family, and only then was my sister vindicated.

With the Huo Family’s influence, we common folks naturally didn’t dare to offend them. I brought my sister back home, thinking that time would slowly heal her. But her depression got worse, and in the end, she took her own life!

We initially wanted to swallow this injustice, but seeing the Devil Young Master participating in the currently popular talent show, adored by thousands of young girls, I didn’t want another girl to suffer like my sister. Hence, I’ve made this post to expose the Devil Young Master!]

Below the post, there were several photos.

One of them showed Xiao Lei disheveled, getting up from the Devil Young Master’s bed, another one was a hospital test report, a medical record of Xiao Lei’s depression, and a photo of Xiao Lei’s grave.

Upon seeing the content of the post and the photos, internet users were stunned.

It was clear that the Devil Young Master was Huo Ci.

With evidence so conclusive, it was impossible for his fans to defend him.

The post was instantly shared by countless marketing accounts.

In just under an hour, it became the most explosive trending topic on Weibo.

As many had praised Huo Ci before, now just as many cursed at him!

Idol 101’s production team never expected that soon after Huo Ci debuted as the center, such serious negative news would be exposed!

Coming down from the stage, Huo Ci learned that his scandal had hit the trending searches. He took out his phone to look, and his vision suddenly went dark!
