Chapter 1045 Unusual
"Mubai," Cheng Yunchuan looked at Jiang Mubai and said seriously, "I know you have a lot of questions about your life experience and Huo Sihan, but please believe me, I will help you find out everything."
Jiang Mubai nodded, her eyes full of gratitude. She knew that in this strange city, Cheng Yunchuan was her only support.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai's phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
"Hey?"
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Jiang, long time no see."
Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly. She would never forget this voice.
"You are... Jiang Hai?"
"It seems that Miss Jiang has not forgotten me." Jiang Hai's voice was filled with a hint of smile, "I called this time to tell you a good news. Your father is still alive."
Jiang Mubai's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"What did you say? My father... is still alive?"
"Yes, he is still alive." Jiang Hai paused and continued, "Moreover, he is in my hands now."
Jiang Mubai's breathing became rapid and she felt her mind went blank.
"You...what do you want?"
Jiang Hai sneered, "What do I want? It's very simple. I want you to come back to me and be my wife."
"Impossible!" Jiang Mubai refused without hesitation.
"Really?" Jiang Hai's voice turned cold, "Then you can just wait to collect your father's body."
After saying that, Jiang Hai hung up the phone.
Jiang Mubai sat on the sofa blankly, her phone slipped from her hand, tears silently flowing down. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to choose. On one side was Cheng Yunchuan, whom she loved deeply, and on the other side was her father whose life and death were uncertain. She was caught in a dilemma.
Jiang Mubai's tears were like pearls that had broken off the string, falling one by one on the soft sofa, creating a dark stain. She tightly grasped her phone, her knuckles turning white, and she seemed to have lost all her strength, collapsing on the sofa. Cheng Yunchuan looked at her, feeling distressed as if an invisible hand had grasped his heart tightly. He gently held her in his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder, and stroked her hair again and again, like comforting a frightened deer.
"Mu Bai, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will be by your side." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and firm, with a power that could make people feel at ease.
Jiang Mubai trembled as she told Cheng Yunchuan the content of Jiang Hai's phone call in a disjointed manner. She spoke in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing something, or as if she was afraid that this was all just a nightmare, and as long as she spoke louder, the dream would end, and reality would be even more cruel.
After hearing this, Cheng Yunchuan's face darkened instantly. The tenderness in his eyes was covered by a layer of ice, and his whole body exuded a cold aura. He hugged Jiang Mubai tightly, and the strength of his arms unconsciously increased, as if he wanted to rub her into his body to protect her from all harm.
"Damn it!" Cheng Yunchuan cursed, his voice filled with suppressed anger. "He actually dared to threaten you!"
Jiang Mubai raised his head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan with tears in his eyes, his eyes were full of helplessness and fear. "Yunchuan, what should I do? I...I can't lose my father..."
Cheng Yunchuan kissed away the tears on her face distressedly and said firmly: "No, I won't let him succeed. I will definitely find your father and bring him back safely."
He held Jiang Mubai's shoulders, asked her to look him straight in the eye, and said word by word: "Mubai, listen to me, the most important thing now is to calm down. Jiang Hai's purpose is very clear, he wants to use your father to threaten you. We can't lose our composure, we must find his weakness to turn defeat into victory."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Cheng Yunchuan's words rekindled her hope. She knew that as long as Cheng Yunchuan was there, she would not fight alone.
"Yunchuan, I believe you." Although Jiang Mubai's voice was still a little trembling, his tone was much firmer.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently, stretched out his hand and scratched her nose, and said lovingly: "Silly girl, when have I ever lied to you?"
Afterwards, Cheng Yunchuan began to arrange everything. He mobilized all his connections and began to search for the whereabouts of Jiang Hai and Jiang Mubai's father. At the same time, he also strengthened the protection of Jiang Mubai and sent people to secretly protect her safety 24 hours a day.
However, Jiang Hai seemed to have evaporated without a trace. Cheng Yunchuan used all his resources but still got nothing. This made him feel anxious and uneasy.
At this moment, Jiang Mubai's phone rang again. It was still the unfamiliar number.
Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, glanced at Cheng Yunchuan, and finally answered the call.
"Hey?"
Jiang Hai's cold laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Jiang, how are you thinking about it? My patience is limited."
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, tried to control his emotions, and said in a cold voice: "Jiang Hai, what do you want?"
"What do I want? I've made it very clear. I want you to come back to me and be my wife." Jiang Hai's voice was full of teasing. "Of course, if you don't want to, I don't mind letting you see how your father died with your own eyes."
Jiang Mubai bit her lips tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she was about to suffocate.
"You..." Jiang Mubai was about to speak when he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from the other end of the phone, followed by a man's painful groan.
"Dad!" Jiang Mubai exclaimed, tears welling up in his eyes. "Jiang Hai, what did you do to my dad?"
Jiang Hai laughed grimly and said, "I'm just teaching him a little lesson. If you don't agree to my terms, I can't guarantee what he will do next time."
"Jiang Hai, you beast!" Cheng Yunchuan snatched Jiang Mubai's phone and yelled into the phone.
"Hey, isn't this the famous star Cheng?" Jiang Hai's voice was full of sarcasm, "Why, are you feeling sorry for her? What a pity, it's useless to feel sorry for her. Jiang Mubai is my woman, you'd better be sensible and stay away from her."
"Jiang Hai, you..." Cheng Yunchuan was furious and was about to curse back when he suddenly heard a strange sound from the other end of the phone, like... an electric current? Then, Jiang Hai's terrified cry came from the phone: "Ah! What is this..."
Then, the call suddenly went offline.
Cheng Yunchuan and Jiang Mubai looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes. What happened? What happened to Jiang Hai?
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale, the knuckles of his fingers holding the phone turned white, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. The sudden change on the other end of the phone made him tremble with fear. Jiang Hai's scream and the strange sound of electricity all indicated that something unusual was going on.
