Chapter 1240 Like His First Love
Chapter 1240 Like His First Love
Jiang Mubai's heart trembled suddenly. She didn't expect that Cheng Yunchuan approached her because she looked like his first love.
"So," Jiang Mubai tried to control his emotions: "You think of me as her substitute?"
Cheng Yunchuan did not deny: "At the beginning, yes."
"What about you now? Are you still like this now? Mu Bai stared into his eyes.
Cheng Yunchuan was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I don't know."
"do not know?"
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Cheng Yunchuan, you are playing with my feelings, is it fun?"
Cheng Yunchuan said seriously, "I didn't, I just don't know how to face you."
Jiang Mubai thought it was ridiculous: "Face me? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will fall in love with you?"
Cheng Yunchuan didn't say anything, just stared at her deeply.
Jiang Mubai felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he turned his head away: "Don't look at me like that."
Cheng Yunchuan stood up, walked to her side, and gently held her in his arms: "Mu Bai, I'm sorry."
Jiang Mubai's body stiffened for a moment, then he pushed him away: "Don't touch me!"
Cheng Yunchuan didn't come any closer, but just stood quietly in front of her, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down: "Cheng Yunchuan, it's over between us."
Cheng Yunchuan stood there, watching her leaving, an indescribable pain welling up in his heart. He knew that he had lost her completely.
Jiang Mubai returned to her apartment and threw herself on the sofa. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't know what to do or where to go.
Just then, the phone rang.
It’s a message from K.
"J, we need to talk."
Jiang Mubai looked at the message and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Jiang Mubai looked at the message sent by K and sneered. Talk? Talk about what? Talk about how he manipulated her life like a puppet?
She quickly responded: "Location."
K replied quickly: "The old place."
The old place is a hidden underground bar and a secret base for hacker organizations.
Jiang Mubai changed into a black leather jacket and leather pants, and put on a black baseball cap and a mask to cover his face.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the bar, deafening music and noisy voices instantly flooded into my eardrums.
Under the dim light, the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and cigarettes, making people feel suffocated.
K sat in the corner, dressed in black, almost blending into the darkness. In front of him was a glass of whiskey, the amber liquid gleaming dimly under the light.
Jiang Mubai sat down opposite him, took off his mask, revealing his delicate features: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"J, you've changed a lot recently." K's eyes were fixed on her.
"Really? What's changed?" Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows.
"You've become...unlike yourself. You've never been interested in anything other than missions before, and you've never cared so much about a man." K sighed.
Jiang Mubai chuckled: "It seems that you pay a lot of attention to me."
"J, you know the rules of the organization." K's tone became serious.
"Personal feelings are the greatest weakness. They distract you, cause you to make mistakes, and even cost you your life."
"So? What do you want to say?" Jiang Mubai met his gaze without fear.
"I hope you will know when to stop and not ruin everything for a man." K's voice was low and dangerous.
Jiang Mubai said in a cold tone: "It's none of your business to interfere with my affairs. I came here this time to ask you, where did you get the information about Cheng Yunchuan?"
K's expression changed slightly: "Why are you asking this?"
"Answer my question." Jiang Mubai's voice was full of oppression.
K was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "I bought those materials from an anonymous seller."
“Anonymous seller?”
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Do you think I would believe this nonsense?"
"J, I advise you not to investigate further. For some things, knowing too much will not do you any good." K's tone carried a hint of warning.
Jiang Mubai stood up and looked down at him: "Really? I want to see what it is that can make me feel uncomfortable."
After saying that, she turned and left without any reluctance.
K sat there, watching her leaving, a hint of gloom in his eyes.
After leaving the bar, Jiang Mubai did not go home directly, but drove to Cheng Yunchuan's villa. She knew that Cheng Yunchuan must know something.
After pressing the doorbell and waiting for a while, the door slowly opened and Cheng Yunchuan stood at the door, his face pale and his eyes full of fatigue.
"Mubai, why are you here?"
Jiang Mubai didn't answer, but walked straight into the villa.
"Mu Bai..." Cheng Yunchuan wanted to stop her, but she pushed him away.
Jiang Mubai walked straight to the study, turned on the computer, and skillfully entered a string of code.
Cheng Yunchuan stood at the door, looking at her back, feeling uneasy.
A series of files appeared on the computer screen. Jiang Mubai quickly browsed through them, his face becoming increasingly ugly.
These documents contain information about her past life, including her identity, her experiences, and even the truth behind her death.
And the source of this information is actually... Cheng Yunchuan!
Jiang Mubai turned his head suddenly and stared at Cheng Yunchuan with cold eyes: "Why did you do this?"
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale in an instant. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
"Say something!" Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with anger and disappointment.
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and finally spoke: "I...I'm afraid of losing you."
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Are you afraid of losing me? So you treat me as her substitute, monitor me, investigate me, and even dig out the truth about my death?"
"No, that's not the case!"
Cheng Yunchuan explained in a panic: "I just... I just want to know who you are."
"who am I?"
Jiang Mubai's eyes were full of mockery: "I am Jiang Mubai, a fool who is being played around by you."
After saying that, she turned and left without any hesitation.
Cheng Yunchuan stood there, watching her leaving, his heart filled with regret and pain. He knew that he had completely lost her.
Jiang Mubai returned to his apartment, locked himself in the room, and let his tears flow freely.
She didn't understand why fate played such a trick on her? Why did she have to experience betrayal and hurt again and again?
Just then, the phone rang.
It's an unknown number.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Hey?"
"Hello, Miss Jiang. I am a lawyer for the Qin Group. My last name is Li."
"Qin Group? What's the matter?" Jiang Mubai frowned.
"It's like this, Mr. Qin still wants to see you."
