MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 99

Gu Jingze picked up the photograph.

It was a photograph taken from a distance.

The person in the photograph was a slender woman with a pretty face. Although her face was not shown clearly, he could sense that she was probably a very graceful beauty. Her age was not visible from her face. It made him feel that she was probably very old but had maintained her appearance particularly well.

However, for some reason, he felt that this woman looked a little familiar. He did not know if he was mistaken.

He wondered where he had seen her.

Gu Jingze looked up. “Are you sure that I haven’t met her before?”

Qin Hao said, “Of course I’m sure, Sir. She left the country at a very young age and never returned to C Nation ever again.”

Gu Jingze frowned and put down the photograph. “In doing this, he must have some motive. Get someone to continue following him and investigate.”

“Yes, Sir. By the way, there’s still Mr. Mo’s matter…”

Come to think of this troublesome person…

Gu Jingze sat there and stretched his hand out to massage his brow. “How is his recovery in the hospital coming along?”

“He’s recovering very quickly.”

“Alright. You can leave.”

—

At Chen Yucheng’s hospital.

Mo Jinyan stood there while looking outside.

“Your leg just recovered. Are you sure you’re okay standing?” Gu Jingze’s voice traveled from behind. Mo Jinyan turned around to look at Gu Jingze.

“Don’t worry. If I couldn’t recover from something like this, I would have probably died a long time ago,” Mo Jinyan said.

Gu Jingze moved his hand across the things in the room. The facilities here were not bad. Apart from the fact that he could not go out, his life here was probably very good.

Mo Jinyan turned to look at him. “Did you investigate the matter already? What I said was true, right?”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s still not certain.”

“Since you haven’t killed me until today, it means that you probably believe me.”

“That’s right. In my heart, I do want to trust you. But you have a bad record. Now, I’m not sure whether trusting you is the right choice either.”

Mo Jinyan looked at him. “Gu Jingze. If I really wanted to kill you, I would have had plenty of opportunities on the numerous days we were alone together in the past. You’re right. I hate the Gu family and I hate Gu Xiande even more. I even hate your father. But I indeed have no grudges against you. I can differentiate right from wrong and I know that you didn’t know about this either.”

Gu Jingze leaned towards one side and looked at him. “Tell me. Who is your mother?”

Mo Jinyan shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Then, who saved you, adopted you, and told you everything?”

“It’s Yun Kuoshan’s older brother, Yun Kuohai,” he said.

Gu Jingze smiled coldly. “The Yun family…”

Mo Jinyan said, “I have always called him my adoptive father until I was ten and went out alone to train myself. From then on, I met him merely a few times and only contacted him by phone. Everything I have now has nothing to do with the Yun family. He provided me funds at the very beginning, but I attained everything thereafter on my own so you don’t have to equate me with the Yun family.”

Gu Jingze said, “I will reserve the judgment on this.”

Gu Jingze was just about to leave.

He suddenly saw that someone wanted to barge in.

Of course, the Gu family’s security guards immediately blocked him.

Meanwhile, the person outside stood there and refused to leave.

Gu Jingze looked outside. Inside, Mo Jinyan immediately took two steps forward. “He’s one of my subordinates. They must be looking for me regarding something important. I want to meet them. Otherwise, if something actually happens and stirs up trouble, it may not be a good thing for you either.”

Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Then, he nodded in agreement.

He glanced meaningfully at the guards outside who then let the man outside in.

The person who came in had already handed over all his weapons and came in empty-handed. When he saw Mo Jinyan, he quickly bowed in greeting before hastily saying, “Boss, you told us to watch Miss Mu. Today, someone barged into her house calling himself her husband. We stopped him but we were obstructed by the policemen he brought in.”

Mo Jinyan paused.

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes while listening.

Mo Jinyan looked at Gu Jingze. “Gu Jingze, you promised back then that you would protect her safety. You won’t go back on your word now, right?”

Gu Jingze looked at him. “I won’t go back on my word.”

“I want to go and take a look.”

“I’ll send someone there to deal with it.”

“She’s not your woman. If you deal with it, I won’t be at ease.”

“She’s Lin Che’s friend. I won’t sit around and do nothing.”

“Doing nothing and dealing with it properly are two different things. I’m worried.” Mo Jinyan continued, “Aren’t you afraid that my subordinates will tell Lin Che if you stop me? We’ll see if she will have any issues with you if they tell her that you don’t care about Mu Feiran’s life because of your tiff with me.”

“You…”

Gu Jingze’s gaze changed.

However, he indeed attached more importance to things when they involved Lin Che.

He glared at Mo Jinyan before waving his hand as a gesture of silent affirmation.

“But my subordinates must follow along and yours must move to the back.”

Mo Jinyan said, “Since I’ve already shown you my cards, I haven’t thought about escaping either. I can eat and drink all I want here and the treatment is the best in the country. I’m so well taken care of here. Why would I leave?”

Once Mo Jinyan was done speaking, he waved his head immediately as a gesture for someone to bring his coat to him. Then, he walked out in large strides.

Gu Jingze hinted with his eyes for his subordinates to catch up with them directly.

Although Black Hawk’s subordinates had already made their way over, as Mo Ding was indeed Mu Feiran’s lawful husband, it was reasonable for him to bring the police with him. It was not appropriate for Black Hawk’s subordinates to get into a direct confrontation with the police. This was to prevent people from taking the opportunity to pick a fight with his subordinates since they had caused trouble when he was currently still unable to come out and settle matters.

In the room, Mo Ding looked at Mu Feiran.

He smiled proudly, looked at Mu Feiran’s house, and scoffed. He said, “This place is decorated quite well. Since it looks just right, I should move in here too.”

Mu Feiran said furiously, “This is my house. You better get out!”

“I’m your husband. Since this is your house, it’s also mine!”

“No way. This place has nothing to do with you at all.”

“Why not? We’re lawfully-wedded. Half of your things are mine. Now that my company is in trouble, I need thirty million. I’ll leave immediately if you give me thirty million. Otherwise, I’ll stay right here and wait for our daughter to come home.”

“You… why are you such a scoundrel?!”

“I’m a scoundrel? First, return the photographs of me and Jingjing. Then, I may discuss with you whether or not I’m a scoundrel. Otherwise, how can you have the cheek to call me a scoundrel when you can do something like that?”

“Ha. If you and Wei Jingjing can do such a thing and take photographs, why wouldn’t I dare to release it? Besides, I even kindly blurred your faces.”

“You…”

After Mu Feiran had released the photos of Wei Jingjing, everyone could guess that it was someone from the entertainment industry even though they did not know who it was.

Some of them were familiar with Wei Jingjing and naturally already knew that it was her and Mo Ding.

At the moment, Wei Jingjing had a notorious reputation. Right now, she was still hiding at home and did not dare to leave the house.
