Chapter 1018 I won’t let go

The appearance of Lu Jingshen once again sparked heated discussions among netizens. Everyone speculated on his relationship with Jiang Mubai. Some said they were lovers, some said they were friends, and some even said they were... fuck buddies?

After the press conference, Su Fei was forced to apologize publicly and admitted her behavior. Jiang Mubai's image gradually recovered and his career began to pick up.

However, one wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises. One night, Jiang Mubai received an anonymous package, which contained a photo and a letter. In the photo, a man was lying in a pool of blood, his face was hideous. The letter had only one sentence:

"The next one is you."

Jiang Mubai turned pale with fear, and the photo in his hand fell to the ground like a withered leaf...

Jiang Mubai held the photo, her fingertips turned white. The man in the photo had died horribly, his clothes soaked with blood, and his eyes were wide open, as if he was accusing something. The handwriting on the threatening letter was sloppy, but it was like a sharp knife, piercing Jiang Mubai's nerves. She trembled all over and almost couldn't stand steadily.

This was the scene Cheng Yunchuan saw when he arrived. Jiang Mubai curled up on the sofa, her face as pale as paper, her eyes empty, like a frightened deer. He quickly stepped forward, hugged her tightly in his arms, stroked her back, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here..."

Jiang Mubai grabbed the corner of Cheng Yunchuan's clothes tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She said in a trembling voice: "Yunchuan, I'm scared..."

Cheng Yunchuan kissed her forehead distressedly and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Let's call the police and let them handle this matter."

After the police were called, they quickly intervened in the investigation, but the murderer was very cunning and did not leave any clues. This threatening letter and bloody photos were like a time bomb hanging over Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan's heads, making them unable to sleep or eat.

"Who did this? Why did you do this to me?" Jiang Mubai held his head and groaned in pain.

Cheng Yunchuan hugged her, his eyes cold, like an enraged lion. "No matter who it is, I will make him pay the price!"

In order to ensure Jiang Mubai's safety, Cheng Yunchuan hired a professional bodyguard to protect him 24 hours a day. He turned down all his work and stayed by Jiang Mubai's side all the time.

"Yunchuan, you don't have to be like this, I can do it myself..." Jiang Mubai looked at Cheng Yunchuan's tired appearance and said with heartache.

Cheng Yunchuan rubbed her hair and said gently: "Silly, you are the most important person to me, how could I let you face this alone?"

During this period, Cheng Yunchuan's tenderness and care for Jiang Mubai made her feel an unprecedented sense of security. She gradually came out of her fear and began to actively cooperate with the police investigation.

However, at this moment, an unexpected person appeared-Lu Jingshen.

"I know who sent the threatening letter." Lu Jingshen said straight to the point.

Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan were both stunned.

"Who is it?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a cold tone, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.

Lu Jing took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name: "It's...your mother."

"Impossible!" Jiang Mubai stood up suddenly and looked at Lu Jingshen in disbelief. "Why would my mother do this? She has always loved me very much!"

Lu Jingshen smiled bitterly: "I know it's hard for you to accept, but this is the fact. Your mother has always felt guilty about you. She thinks she indirectly harmed your father. She wants to use this method to force you to leave the entertainment industry and live a peaceful life."

"Ridiculous!" Cheng Yunchuan was furious, "She is harming Mu Bai, not protecting her!"

Jiang Mubai sat on the sofa, her mind blank. She couldn't understand her mother's behavior, and couldn't accept this cruel truth.

Just then, Jiang Mubai's cell phone rang.

It's an unknown number.

Jiang Mubai hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.

"Mu Bai, long time no see." A familiar yet unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of teasing and mockery, "Guess who I am?"

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head.

She will never forget this voice in her life...

It's Sophie!

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai asked coldly, suppressing his inner fear.

"Haha, don't be nervous," Sophie chuckled, "I just want to play a game with you..."

Sophie's voice suddenly became cold and threatening: "Do you know? The man lying in a pool of blood, he is actually..."

"... He was actually your former partner, Liu Kai." Sophie's voice was like a venomous snake, hissing and chilling. Jiang Mubai felt a chill running down her spine and her phone almost slipped from her hand. Liu Kai? The gentle actor who had worked with her in a play? The bloody face in the photo gradually became clear in her mind, overlapping with Liu Kai's face, making her stomach churn.

"You're talking nonsense! What does this have to do with him?" Jiang Mubai's voice trembled, but he tried to stay calm.

"Haha, you know whether it matters or not." Sophie's laughter became even sharper and harsher. "He's too much of a hindrance. You know, if I can't have something, I'd rather destroy it than let others have it."

Sophie's words were like a sharp needle that pierced Jiang Mubai's heart. She knew what Sophie was referring to - Sophie had once pursued Cheng Yunchuan madly, but Cheng Yunchuan only hated her.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"It's very simple," Sophie's voice was a little proud, "I want you to publicly admit that you plagiarized my work and stole my ideas. Otherwise, I will make more 'evidence' public. Then, not only will you be ruined, but you will also be like Liu Kai..." Sophie paused deliberately, leaving room for imagination.

Jiang Mubai's fingers tightly grasped the phone, her knuckles turning white. She knew that Sophie must have fabricated some so-called "evidence", but she would never give in to such a despicable threat.

At this moment, a warm big hand covered the back of her cold hand. Cheng Yunchuan took the phone from her hand and said in a cold tone: "Sophie, you'd better stop."

"Oh, Mr. Cheng is here in person?" Sophie's tone was a little sarcastic, "Why, are you worried about your little baby?"

"I warn you, don't harass Mu Bai again." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty, "I have evidence of your crime, you'd better turn yourself in now and try to get leniency."

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then Sophie's angry voice was heard: "Cheng Yunchuan, you dare to threaten me? Who do you think you are? Just wait, I won't let you go!" After that, Sophie hung up the phone angrily.
