Because Mo Xiuchen was heading to City C tomorrow, everyone tactfully had dinner at his place and then left quite early.

Bai Xiaoxiao didn’t drive, so naturally Luo Haofeng took her home.

Wen Jin and Gu Kai, with no significant matters at hand and no girlfriends to engage them, decided to find a place to enjoy a few drinks.

After seeing them off, Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran went back to the master bedroom on the second floor. After taking a shower and chatting by the bed for nearly half an hour, Wen Ran began to yawn, looking tired and ready to sleep.

“Xiuchen, let’s go to sleep. You still have to go to City C tomorrow.”

“Okay!”

Mo Xiuchen nodded with a smile, then lay down and held her as they fell asleep together.

During the shower just now, he had experienced another dizzy spell. If he hadn’t promptly leaned against the marble wall, he might have fallen to the ground.

As much as he was reluctant, he had to leave her.

He gently caressed Wen Ran’s tender face with his hand, filled with longing and attachment down to his very cells.

Tomorrow, he would have to leave G City. Although City C was not far away, he didn’t know when he would be able to come back and see her.

The changes to his body had exceeded his own imagination, aligning eerily with Fu Jingyi’s predictions. But the more this happened, the less sure he felt.

Yesterday, when Gu Kai asked him about his call with Fu Jingyi, he didn’t tell him all the details. There was also a wager between him and Fu Jingyi.

Fu Jingyi taught him how to transfer the virus from Wen Ran’s body to his and calmly told him that he could hold out for just over a month at most.

Just over a month!

He was shocked. The virus had been in Wen Ran’s body for more than 20 years. Even though they were husband and wife, the virus had only started to spread in her body several months ago.

Could he really only last just over a month after it transferred to his body?

Fu Jingyi was not only perverse but also arrogant. He claimed that his experiment would definitely succeed and that Mo Xiuchen would die within two months.

The bet that Mo Xiuchen made with him was to find Fu Jingyi from the vast sea of people in the less than two remaining months of his life.

He would forever remember how wildly Fu Jingyi laughed at his proposal over the phone. He said, “Mo Xiuchen, I know you’ve always been smart. You’ve been able to escape Xiao Wenqing and Wu Tianyi’s traps time and time again, and even managed to keep your old man’s company under control. But, this time, you will definitely fail.”

Mo Xiuchen chuckled, a firm resolve in his ink-dark eyes. “Do you dare to bet with me, that if I can find your hiding place within a month, you will reveal the cure to me?”

“Alright. At that time, I will personally perform the surgery on you. Mo Xiuchen, you and Wen Ran are the best test subjects I’ve come across in my life. That girl stayed by my side for six years. If she wasn’t Gu Yan’s daughter, I actually quite like her.”

…

Thinking about this, a cold determination formed on Mo Xiuchen’s lips. He slowly moved his hand from Wen Ran’s face and reached towards his waist, trying to remove her hand from his waist.

However, the moment he moved, Wen Ran uttered a soft sound of displeasure, her hand gripping him tighter.

Mo Xiuchen’s heart felt a slight pinch. Wen Ran might not voice that she didn’t want him to leave, but her actions clearly told him so, causing his heart a wave of sorrow.

“Ranran, I need to go to the bathroom.”

He kissed her forehead and softly explained near her ear.

Seeming to have heard him in her sleep, the hand wrapped around his waist loosened, and she shifted to use her own hand as a pillow.

Mo Xiuchen got out of bed and actually went to the bathroom. When he came out, he didn’t return to bed but went into the study next door.

After closing the door to the study, he walked to his desk and sat down. He turned on his computer and habitually reached for the box of cigarettes on the desk. Just as he was about to light a cigarette, he remembered Wen Ran’s words and paused.

The ringtone of his mobile phone echoed sharply in the quiet study.

Pressing the answer button, Mo Xiuchen’s voice drifted faintly from his lips: “Hello, Ah Mu.”

“I heard that you’re heading to City C tomorrow.”

Qin Mu’s voice pierced through the night and entered his ear from the other side of the phone.

Mo Xiuchen’s eyebrows knitted slightly. Rather than answering, he asked, “Any leads on your side?”

“Nothing from the beauty parlour yet, but there’s been some progress with Liao Dongxing. If things go well, we should have some evidence within a week.”

Mo Xiuchen’s expression eased slightly. “Tell Uncle Qin, would it be possible not to spread the news once they find the evidence? Or, I’d like to find the evidence and those criminals before the special investigation team.”

“Xiuchen, do you plan to negotiate privately with Liao Dongxing?”

Understanding his intentions from his words, Qin Mu asked immediately.

Mo Xiuchen pursed his lips, switching his phone to his left hand while his right hand adeptly clicked open his email. As he glanced over the emails he replied, “Mhm, I plan to negotiate with them privately.”

What he wanted was Fu Jingyi’s whereabouts, which wouldn’t affect anything else.

“Tell Uncle Qin that I won’t interfere with their work.”

After thinking for a bit, Mo Xiuchen added a sentence.

“Alright, I’ll speak with my old man later, but I think we should act first before discussing with him.”

“Okay, you can find out more about it first. I’ll continue my investigation here. There are some clues at the winery too…”

By the time he finished reading his emails, a chilly smile emerged on Mo Xiuchen’s lips: Fu Jingyi, I will find you within a month.

“I’ve also asked people to look into Fu Jingyi’s wife and daughter’s identities. If we can find them, it would be a great help.”

Qin Mu reported the progress on his side to Mo Xiuchen and then asked, “Are you taking Wen Ran to City C with you?”

Mo Xiuchen hesitated for a moment, then replied calmly, “Ranran will stay in G City and won’t go with me.”

“Are you sure about leaving her alone in G City?”

His words were immediately followed by Qin Mu’s, whose voice brimmed with undisguised concern and doubt. Mo Xiuchen couldn’t see his expression over the phone, but his handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly.

“Ah Kai and Wen Jin are in G City to protect Ranran and I have asked Qing Feng and Qing Yang to drive her to and from work every day. There shouldn’t be any dangers.”

Mo Xiuchen explained calmly, paused for a while and then added, “I’m not sure how many days I’ll be in City C, and I’ll have to go abroad afterward. Ah Mu, once you finish your work, return to G City. While I’m not in G City, I would like you to protect Ranran.”

“What do you mean, Xiuchen? How long do you plan to be away from G City? Are you planning to be abroad for a year or half a year? Aren’t you just investigating the winery? Tell me, and I’ll go.”

Qin Mu’s voice suddenly turned annoyed, unlike the calm tone he maintained earlier.
