Five minutes later, Ye Qiqi replied with a message: “The private plane has been arranged, and the driver will pick you up at 10 o’clock sharp to take you to the private airport. After arriving in Peng City, you are expected to wait for half an hour before boarding the ship.”

Mu Qingyan looked at the time and saw that he had an hour to spare. He simply packed his luggage and sent a message to Ji Liyun: “I’m going to Antarctica.”

Ji Liyun had always been very disciplined. He would stay up late but never oversleep, so at this time, he had already finished breakfast and was watching the morning news.

“Why do you suddenly want to go to Antarctica?” Ji Liyun asked on the phone.

Mu Qingyan replied as he sorted out what he needed to bring: “Xing Hao has taken the bait. He will go to the base in Antarctica to make the deal the day after tomorrow. I want to go there and catch him in the act.”

Ji Liyun immediately tried to stop him: “That’s too dangerous. Let the bodyguards do it, or I’ll ask Wen to help you.”

“I’m not at ease. I want to go there in person,” Mu Qingyan said.

“But…”

Mu Qingyan stopped what he was doing and said seriously, “Don’t try to dissuade me. I’ve already arranged a private plane and a ship. I have to go. I want to personally send him to prison.”

“Okay.”

Based on the information he received the day before, Xie Ming told Zhao Shuiming, the new lawyer in charge of his case, that Xing Hao would not give up on him because they had many interests linked together.

Digging deeper, Zhao Shuiming found that Xing Hao used Xie Ming’s identity to launder money in foreign banks.

Following the trail, he also found out that Xing Hao’s company was not only laundering money but also engaging in underground trading and drug trafficking. They even forged documents and claimed that they were authorized by the Mu Group to purchase drugs.

Mu Qingyan came up with a plan and had Shen Huai find a bodyguard with a criminal record to deliberately buy drugs from Xing Hao. To his surprise, Xing Hao requested to make the trade in Antarctica.

Because Xing Hao was involved in the Polar Plan, he had the authority to move freely in the Mu Group’s Antarctic research base.

Mu Qingyan guessed that Xing Hao wanted to make the deal in the Mu Group’s Antarctic research base and then deliberately sell fake goods to anger the buyer. Alternatively, he might have someone else make the trade and then report it himself, accusing the Mu Group of using the Polar Plan to traffic drugs.

Anticipating Xing Hao’s plan, Mu Qingyan decided to enter the base early and not let Xing Hao know. He planned to take advantage of their trade and strike first.

After Mu Qingyan successfully arrived at the Antarctic base, he only let the subordinates who were involved in this plan know, and he hid in his father’s exclusive room.

He also asked Ye Qiqi to pretend that he was just going on a business trip to another city in the MU company, and not reveal to the outside world that he had already arrived in Antarctica.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of Xing Hao’s transaction.

Xing Hao was very cautious and only mentioned the transaction at the Antarctic research base of the Mu Corporation but did not give the exact location.

It was not until just before the transaction that Mu Qingyan received a message that Xing Hao would be conducting the transaction in the underground warehouse of the Mu Corporation base.

Mu Qingyan didn’t want to alert Xing Hao, so he entered the warehouse ahead of time and personally placed miniature cameras in several locations, which were then connected to his phone via Bluetooth.

Just as he was about to leave the warehouse, he heard some noise outside the door and immediately hid.

Sure enough, Xing Hao and two of his subordinates walked into the warehouse not long after. And within ten minutes, the bodyguard pretending to be a trader of Shen Huai’s had also arrived.

Mu Qingyan quietly opened his phone and recorded their transaction through the miniature cameras.

Everything went smoothly, and Mu Qingyan saved the video to the cloud, intending to hand it over to the police once he returned to the country.

Little did he know, just as he left the base and boarded a ship to Peng City, preparing to take a private plane back home, someone suddenly approached him and knocked him out.

A chill hit his face and body.

When Mu Qingyan was splashed with ice-cold water and woke up, he found himself unable to move – he was tied up in a dimly lit room, facing a masked man.

“Awake?” A lazy voice came from nearby.

Just by hearing the voice, Mu Qingyan knew it was Xing Hao.

Mu Qingyan turned his head and saw Xing Hao sitting on a nearby chair with his legs crossed.

“Xing Hao, you have quite the nerve to tie me up like this.” Mu Qingyan looked at him coldly, his eyes like sharp knives.

“Master Mu, my ex-husband, it’s been a long time since we last met,” Xing Hao stood up and walked leisurely to Mu Qingyan, waving a knife in front of him that gleamed with cold light. “I really didn’t expect that we would meet under these circumstances.”

Mu Qingyan snorted, “Yeah, I thought I would visit you in prison instead.”

“Dream on!” Xing Hao turned his wrist and plunged the knife into Mu Qingyan’s right chest.

Suddenly, blood gushed out and Mu Qingyan’s face turned pale from the pain.

Xing Hao leaned in close to Mu Qingyan’s face and threatened, “You’re already in my hands. If you want to live, give me the video.”

The moment Mu Qingyan realized he was tied up by Xing Hao, he knew that Xing Hao had come for the video of him trading drugs.

Mu Qingyan laughed, “I see you’re really stupid. Even if you get the video, what can you do? I already uploaded it to the cloud. Ji Liyun and Ye Qiqi both know the password. Drug trafficking, money laundering, kidnapping… you can just wait to go to jail!”

“You’re really annoying, Mu Qingyan.” Xing Hao waved his hand and a masked man next to him handed him a syringe filled with a drug.

“Even if I die, I want to watch you die in agony first!” Xing Hao said viciously as he forcefully injected the substance into Mu Qingyan’s body.

Suddenly, Mu Qingyan felt an unbearable pain throughout his body, as if his organs were being crushed by a hand.

His head felt like it was about to explode.

Gradually, his vision became blurry and his body began to convulse uncontrollably…

For a moment, Mu Qingyan felt like he was going to die.

He felt a little regretful because he didn’t get to see Xing Hao and Xie Ming go to jail with his own eyes.

He was also saddened because he knew his parents and Ji Liyun would be devastated by his death.

There were still many things he wanted to do.

“Bang!”

It sounded like a door had been kicked open.

Someone rushed over, untied him, and held him, shouting anxiously, “Ah Yan! Ah Yan! Pull yourself together!”

It was Ji Liyun’s voice…

Later, it was unknown what happened to Mu Qingyan while he was in a coma. When he woke up again, he was already lying on a hospital bed.

“Ji Liyun!” Mu Qingyan opened his eyes and blurted out Ji Liyun’s name, but his voice was barely audible due to his weakened condition.

Shen Huai and Ye Qiqi, who were guarding him by his bedside, were overjoyed when they saw him wake up. “Great, you finally woke up!”

Ye Qiqi hurriedly ran out to tell the doctor, while Shen Huai called Mu Yuchen and Shen Xiaoxiao on the phone, excitedly saying, “Qingyan woke up! Yes, just now. Ye Qiqi went to call the doctor to examine him. Hmm, I’m here with him. He’s okay now… Okay, I’ll wait for you.”

Mu Qingyan weakly reached out and tugged on Shen Huai’s clothes.

Shen Huai immediately bent down and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”

“How’s Ji Liyun?” Mu Qingyan asked in a hoarse voice.

“He’s not doing too well,” Shen Huai pursed his lips and said, “You should rest and take care of your health first.”

Mu Qingyan became anxious, “What’s wrong with him?”

Shen Huai knew Mu Qingyan’s personality. If he didn’t tell him, he would immediately get out of bed and go find Ji Liyun.

So he had to tell him the truth, “He has a concussion and fractures. He is still in danger and in the intensive care unit.”
