Chapter 1145 The heartless man
"Where did you hide Mu Xue?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and hoarse.
Jiang Muze laughed, and his body shook with laughter. "Mr. Cheng, you are so funny. Why should I hide her? She is my sister, my dearest sister."
Cheng Yunchuan felt like he was going crazy. Jiang Muze's words were full of contradictions, which made him completely confused.
"What on earth do you want to do?" Cheng Yunchuan almost yelled.
Jiang Muze stopped laughing, his eyes turned cold. "What do I want to do? It's simple. I want you to pay the price! For your betrayal, for your abandonment, pay the price!"
Cheng Yunchuan was stunned. Betray? Abandon? When did he betray Jiang Muxue? When did he abandon her?
"You...what are you talking about?" Cheng Yunchuan felt his mind was in a mess.
Jiang Muze stood up and walked in front of Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes full of hatred. "Cheng Yunchuan, you haven't forgotten, have you? Five years ago, you promised my sister that you would marry her and take care of her for the rest of her life. But what about you? You turned around and married Jiang Mubai, you forgot about her completely!"
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the memories of five years ago came flooding back like a tide. He remembered that rainy night, Jiang Muxue's desperate eyes, and her cold body...
"No! It's not like that! Mu Xue she...she's dead!" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was trembling, and he could hardly make a sound.
"Dead? Haha, Cheng Yunchuan, you are so naive." Jiang Muze sneered, and reached out to touch Cheng Yunchuan's cheek. His tone was gentle but with a hint of gloom, "She is not dead, she is just... driven crazy by you."
Cheng Yunchuan was shocked, as if he was struck by lightning. Was he driven crazy? How could this be possible?
Jiang Muze leaned close to Cheng Yunchuan's ear and blew gently, his tone like a devil's whisper: "Do you want to know where she is now? Do you want to know what she has become? Then follow me..."
Jiang Muze turned and walked towards a secret door deep in the study. The secret door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage. From the depths of the passage came bursts of strange laughter, like a call from hell, which almost froze Cheng Yunchuan's blood.
He hesitated. He didn't know whether he should go in or what would be waiting for him. But he knew that he had to go in, he had to know the truth, even if this truth would completely destroy him...
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath and stepped into the secret door. A rotten and damp smell hit him in the face, almost suffocating him. The passage was narrow and cold, with moss on the walls and slippery stone slabs underfoot. He groped forward, his heart beating wildly in his chest.
At the end of the passage was a rusty iron door. Jiang Muze pushed the door open, and the harsh creaking sound echoed in the silent passage. Cheng Yunchuan followed her in, and the scene in front of him stunned him.
This is a simple room. In the dim light, a woman huddled in the corner, with disheveled hair, ragged clothes, and a blank look in her eyes. She was holding a worn-out doll and kept muttering, "Yunchuan... Yunchuan..."
Cheng Yunchuan's breath stagnated. He recognized this woman. It was Jiang Muxue! After five years, she had become like this. The once bright and beautiful girl was now like a walking corpse.
"Mu Xue..." Cheng Yunchuan called out her name tremblingly.
Jiang Muxue raised her head and looked at Cheng Yunchuan blankly. She seemed to recognize him, and a light flashed in her eyes, then dimmed again. "Yunchuan... are you here to take me home?"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes were moist. He walked to Jiang Muxue, squatted down, and gently stroked her cheek. "Muxue, it's me, I'm back."
Jiang Muxue grabbed Cheng Yunchuan's hand, her eyes full of desire. "Yunchuan, take me home, I'm so cold and scared..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart was broken. He held Jiang Muxue in his arms, feeling her frail body and her trembling breath.
"Mu Xue, don't be afraid, I will take you home." Cheng Yunchuan's voice choked.
Jiang Muzhe stood aside, watching the scene coldly, with a sneer on his face.
"Cheng Yunchuan, do you think you can really take her away?" Jiang Muzhe's voice was like a cold wind from hell, instantly bringing Cheng Yunchuan back to reality.
Cheng Yunchuan raised his head, his eyes filled with anger. "Jiang Muze, what did you do to Mu Xue?"
Jiang Muze laughed, and laughed hysterically. "What did I do? I just let her see your true colors! Do you think you are a good person? You are just a heartless and unfaithful man!"
"I have never betrayed Mu Xue!" Cheng Yunchuan roared.
"Really? Then why did you marry Jiang Mubai? Why did you abandon her?" Jiang Muzhe pressed on.
"I..." Cheng Yunchuan was speechless for a moment. He couldn't explain, he couldn't tell Jiang Muze that he married Jiang Mubai because Jiang Muxue was "dead". He thought she was no longer alive.
Jiang Muze saw Cheng Yunchuan's embarrassment and smiled even more proudly. "What? You can't say it, right? Cheng Yunchuan, you are a liar! You lied to my sister and you lied to me!"
Cheng Yunchuan hugged Jiang Muxue tightly, his eyes full of pain and helplessness. He knew that it was useless for him to say anything now. Jiang Muze had been blinded by hatred, and she would not believe any of his explanations.
"What do you want?" Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and hoarse.
"What do I want?" Jiang Muze repeated Cheng Yunchuan's words, with a hint of viciousness in his eyes, "I want you to have a taste of losing your beloved! I want you to live a life worse than death!"
Jiang Muzhe suddenly took out a sharp dagger from his pocket and put it against Jiang Muxue's neck.
"Cheng Yunchuan, if you dare to move, I will kill her!" Jiang Muzhe's voice was full of madness.
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart almost stopped beating. He didn't dare to move, for he was afraid that Jiang Muze would really kill Jiang Muxue.
"Jiang Muzhe, calm down!" Cheng Yunchuan tried hard to control his emotions. He knew that he couldn't anger Jiang Muzhe now.
"Calm down? How can you ask me to calm down? You've driven my sister crazy, and you've destroyed my family. How can you ask me to calm down?" Jiang Muzhe became more and more agitated, and the dagger left a shallow bloody mark on Jiang Muxue's neck.
Jiang Muxue seemed to feel the pain and uttered a faint groan. "Yunchuan...save me..."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart seemed to be torn apart. He looked at Jiang Muxue's helpless eyes and the blood oozing from her neck, and a strong anger and despair surged in his heart.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open... A familiar voice came: "Don't move!"
It’s Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai stood at the door, holding a black pistol in her hand, pointing it directly at Jiang Muze. "Put down the knife!" Her tone was cold, completely different from her usual gentle and sweet image.
