Chapter 1023 Fear

"Yunchuan, I'm scared..." Jiang Mubai's voice was filled with tears, and he grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's clothes tightly, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw.

Cheng Yunchuan patted her back gently and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I will never let you get hurt again." His tone was firm, with unquestionable strength.

It was late at night when they came out of the police station. The cold wind blew and Jiang Mubai couldn't help shivering. Cheng Yunchuan took off his coat and put it on her, wrapping her tightly. "Are you cold?"

Jiang Mubai shook her head, buried her face in his coat, and took a deep breath. The coat carried the unique cool scent of Cheng Yunchuan, which made her feel safe and warm.

"Let's go home." Cheng Yunchuan took her hand and interlocked their fingers.

When they got home, Cheng Yunchuan asked Jiang Mubai to take a hot bath first. When she came out, he had already prepared a bowl of steaming hot ginger soup. "Drink some ginger soup to get rid of the cold."

Jiang Mubai took the ginger soup and drank it in small sips. The warm current flowed down her throat into her stomach, dispelling the coldness in her body and warming her heart.

"Yunchuan, thank you." Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes moist again.

Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently and reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes. "Silly girl, why thank me? It's my responsibility to protect you."

He paused, and his tone suddenly became serious. "Mu Bai, can you tell me your identity now, which you concealed before?"

Jiang Mubai was stunned, his eyes flickered, and he avoided Cheng Yunchuan's gaze. "I... I have nothing to hide."

Cheng Yunchuan looked at her evasive eyes and felt a little uncomfortable. "Mu Bai, we are husband and wife, we should be honest with each other. Is there anything else you don't trust me?"

Jiang Mubai bit her lip, struggling internally. She knew Cheng Yunchuan was doing this for her own good, but she really didn't know how to speak. Her true identity was too complicated, and once revealed, it might bring great trouble or even danger to Cheng Yunchuan.

Seeing Jiang Mubai's hesitation, Cheng Yunchuan sighed and hugged her. "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, then don't say it. I respect your choice."

He hugged her tightly, but his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He felt that Jiang Mubai was hiding a huge secret, and this secret was like an invisible wall between them.

The next day, Cheng Yunchuan received a strange phone call. A deep male voice said on the other end of the phone: "Mr. Cheng, I know you are very concerned about Jiang Mubai's identity. If you want to know the truth, come to the dock warehouse. Remember, you can only come alone."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yunchuan fell into deep thought. He didn't know who the other party was, nor did he know the other party's purpose, but he had a strong premonition that this call was related to the truth he had always wanted to know.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go to the appointment. He knew it was risky, but he had to find out what Jiang Mubai was hiding.

In the evening, Cheng Yunchuan came to the dock warehouse alone. The warehouse was empty, with only dim lights and a damp smell in the air. He looked around and had an uneasy premonition in his heart.

Suddenly, the door of the warehouse slowly opened, and a tall man walked in. The man was wearing sunglasses, so his expression could not be seen clearly, but the powerful aura emanating from him made Cheng Yunchuan feel a little oppressive.

"Are you Cheng Yunchuan?" the man spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

Cheng Yunchuan nodded and stared at the other person warily. "Who are you? Why did you ask me to come here?"

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of deep and cold eyes. "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know what you want to know."

He took out a photo from his pocket and threw it in front of Cheng Yunchuan. "Look at this and you will understand."

Cheng Yunchuan picked up the photo, took a look at it, and was stunned. The photo showed a young girl wearing a military uniform, looking heroic. And this girl was... Jiang Mubai!

The man sneered, "Now, do you want to know more?"

Cheng Yunchuan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and he could hardly breathe. Jiang Mubai in the photo had sharp eyes and exuded a fierce aura that he had never seen before. This was completely different from the gentle and lovely Jiang Mubai he knew.

"She... who is she?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice trembled, unable to conceal his inner shock.

The man sneered, "She is the ace sniper of the X Special Forces, codenamed 'White Fox'. Three years ago, she was 'sacrificed' while on a mission. In fact, she was secretly lurking to carry out a top-secret mission. And the target of this mission is you."

Cheng Yunchuan felt his brain buzzing, as if it would explode at any time. He had always thought that he loved Jiang Mubai deeply, but he had never thought that she had such an identity. What was even more difficult for him to accept was that her mission target was actually himself!

"Why? Why does she want to get close to me?" Cheng Yunchuan asked painfully.

"You should ask her personally about this question." The man said, turning around and preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Cheng Yunchuan stopped him, "Who are you? Why are you telling me this?"

The man stopped but didn't look back. "I'm just someone who can't stand your affectionate attitude." He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Cheng Yunchuan, do you think you really understand Jiang Mubai? You only see the side of her that she wants you to see."

After the man left, Cheng Yunchuan stood alone in the warehouse, feeling that the whole world had collapsed. He thought of every moment he had spent with Jiang Mubai, but those sweet memories had now turned into sharp blades, stabbing his heart.

He staggered out of the warehouse and walked aimlessly on the street. The night wind blew, bringing a hint of chill, but it couldn't cool the burning pain in his heart. He didn't know where he should go, nor did he know what he should do. He only knew that he had to find Jiang Mubai and ask him clearly.

He returned home, but found Jiang Mubai was not there. He called her, but no one answered. An ominous premonition came to his mind.

At this moment, an urgent news suddenly appeared on TV: an explosion occurred in the residence of the famous entrepreneur Cheng Yunchuan, and the casualties are currently unknown...

Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. He looked at the blazing fire on the TV screen in disbelief. That was his home! He suddenly remembered what the man said before he left: "What you see is just the side she wants you to see."

Could it be that... all of this was a trap set by Jiang Mubai? She approached him just to complete the mission?

He felt a piercing pain, as if someone had pierced his heart with a sharp knife. He covered his chest and fell to his knees in pain.
