Chapter 458 Qi Mingxuan Collapses and Dies of Heart (4)
Qi Mingxuan opened the email.
Song Lanyin investigated in great detail.
Han Mingyu's trip to F country was to find Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue attended university in Country F, a university personally arranged by Han Mingyu.
In fact, no substantial evidence of Han Mingyu's infidelity was found.
However, there is a photo of Lin Xiao committing suicide, and Han Mingyu carrying her out of the apartment.
The photos and various location data all showed in great detail that Han Mingyu had been staying at the hospital with Lin Xiaoyue these past few days.
He hugged Lin Xiaoyue at the hospital, and whatever the reason, he just hugged her.
Lin Xiaoyue ran to the rooftop intending to jump, but he personally pulled her back, and the two embraced on the rooftop...
Also, at the airport boarding gate, Lin Xiaoyue was sitting in a wheelchair, with Han Mingyu and Guan Shuo beside her.
This is what Han Mingyu calls his overseas work these past few days.
Qi Mingxuan gave a cold laugh.
She continued scrolling down.
It contains detailed information about Lin Xiaoyue's background.
When she saw the photo of Lin Xiaoyue before she changed her name, her pupils contracted sharply!
The content that followed was cruel and satirical, enough to shatter her beliefs.
Qi Mingxuan felt that the world was full of lies!
…
It snowed heavily last night.
The courtyard was covered in snow.
A little after five in the morning, the Rolls-Royce drove into Mingyuan.
The tires left a deep mark on the snow.
The driver stopped the car, and Han Mingyu pushed open the car door. His black leather shoes made a soft sound as he stepped through the snow.
The man was eager to get home. He entered the house covered in snow and went straight upstairs without even changing his shoes.
The door was gently pushed open.
The room was dimly lit.
On the bed, the woman lay on her side with her eyes closed.
Han Mingyu's tense nerves relaxed instantly the moment he saw his wife lying safely in bed.
He came in and gently closed the door.
He knelt down beside the bed and gently kissed the woman's cheek.
Qi Mingxuan slowly opened her eyes.
"Did I wake you up?" Han Mingyu looked at her, his eyes gentle. "Sorry I'm only getting back now."
Qi Mingxuan looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth or sleepiness.
She didn't sleep all night.
If Han Mingyu were observant enough, he would have noticed.
But he still didn't notice.
They also didn't notice that the hair she was hiding under her cheek and the pillow were damp.
He gently kissed her cheek, then slipped his large hand under the covers to stroke her noticeably larger pregnant belly.
"Is the baby sleeping?" The man was immersed in such a warm and beautiful atmosphere, and his heart softened.
He was finally back, and the anxiety that had been weighing on his mind for days was completely relieved.
He lowered his head, his thin lips kissing her ear and cheek, then gently taking her soft lips into his mouth.
The woman kept her eyes closed and her lips pursed, her expression cold and uncooperative.
Han Mingyu stopped and slightly raised his head to look at her.
His dark eyes were filled with desire. After being apart for so many days, he missed her terribly. He wanted to kiss her, hug her, and comfort her, helping her relax and unwind.
He knew that pregnant women's emotions were sensitive and complex, so he saw her lack of cooperation as just a fit of pique.
"Honey, I miss you."
The man lowered his head again, and just as his thin lips touched hers, Qi Mingxuan dodged away.
He paused, pressed his forehead against hers, then smiled helplessly, "You won't let me kiss you anymore? Is it because I've been out too long, hmm?"
Qi Mingxuan reached out, her cold fingertips gently touching his face.
"You smell."
Han Mingyu was taken aback. "Work hasn't been going well these past few days, and I couldn't help but smoke a few more cigarettes."
But he knew he was coming back today and hadn't smoked. He even took a shower at the hotel before leaving, so why does he still smell of smoke?
Pregnant women's noses are usually more sensitive.
"Go take a shower," Qi Mingxuan said. "Make sure you're clean."
Han Mingyu didn't think much of it, took her hand that was touching his cheek, and kissed it.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower, and come back to cuddle with you while we sleep, okay?"
Qi Mingxuan responded with a faint "Mm".
Han Mingyu got up and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom door closed, and soon the sound of water spraying could be heard.
Qi Mingxuan listened quietly when a text message came in on her phone.
She opened her phone.
It was a message from Song Lanyin.
An address.
She stared at the address, her eyes lifeless.
...
When Han Mingyu came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, there was no one on the bed.
He paused for a moment, slightly taken aback.
Where did they go?
Han Mingyu went to the dressing room, found a set of pajamas, put them on, and hurriedly came out of the room.
When he got to the first floor, Lan's mother had just come out of the nanny's room.
It was not yet six o'clock, and the sky was not fully light.
The weather forecast says there will be heavy snow today.
"Young Master?" Lan Ma was somewhat surprised to see him. "When did you get back?"
"Just got home," Han Mingyu glanced around, "Aunt Lan, have you seen Xiaoxuan?"
"No, isn't the young mistress in her room? She usually sleeps until around eight o'clock before coming down!"
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu frowned slightly.
He turned and went upstairs to the second floor. He searched the study and Qi Yue's room, but did not see Qi Mingxuan.
An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.
He went back to the master bedroom.
It was only then that I noticed her pajamas, which she had just changed out of, on the big bed.
She went out!
Han Mingyu's heart sank.
He immediately took out his phone and dialed Qi Mingxuan's number.
Qi Mingxuan did not answer.
Han Mingyu continued playing, then turned and hurriedly went downstairs.
He went to the monitoring room and retrieved the surveillance footage.
Sure enough, Qi Mingxuan went out while he was taking a shower.
She drove a black Maybach out of the garage herself.
Han Mingyu's expression changed drastically.
Qi Mingxuan drove off without saying a word. Where was she going?
Something's not right!
Something must be wrong!
He dared not call Qi Mingxuan again, for fear that his call would distract her.
She's pregnant now, and it's extremely dangerous for her to drive alone!
Han Mingyu called Anmi.
Anmi answered the phone groggily: "President Han?"
"Qi Mingxuan drove out by herself. Has she contacted you?"
"What?" Anmi sat bolt upright in bed in shock. "Why would President Qi drive himself out? The weather forecast said there would be heavy snow today!"
Han Mingyu walked out of the monitoring room. "Her condition is clearly not right. Has anything happened in the past few days?"
Anmi then realized, "President Han, you're back?"
"Yes, tell me quickly, has anything happened while I was away these past few days?"
"It seems like nothing much happened... Wait, just yesterday a guy named Chen Wei went to Ronghao Group to see President Qi and said some strange things. After that, President Qi asked me to investigate Chen Wei, and in doing so, I also found out about someone named Zhang Zihao..."
Han Mingyu frowned.
Chen Wei, Zhang Zihao...
He pinched the bridge of his nose. "What have you found out?"
Anmi told Han Mingyu everything without hiding anything.
Han Mingyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Fortunately, the information Anmi found was not related to that incident from back then.
"By the way, Chen Wei gave President Qi a USB drive."
"USB drive?" Han Mingyu asked, "Did Xiaoxuan take it?"
"President Qi took it home."
Upon hearing this, Han Mingyu immediately got up and went upstairs.
He went to the desk in the study and found that the computer was still on.
The USB drive must have been put away by Qi Mingxuan; Han Mingyu couldn't find it.
Qi Mingxuan must have seen the contents of the USB drive!
"Send me Chen Wei's current address, right away."
"good!"
Han Mingyu walked downstairs and said, "Try to contact her now, and also call the Qi family to ask if she has returned. Let me know as soon as you have any news."
Anmi replied, "Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Han Mingyu grabbed his car keys and headed out.
The sky gradually turned a pale white.
Cotton-like snowflakes fell from the sky.
The Rolls-Royce sped through the snow.
He called the sanatorium and told them to notify him immediately if Qi Mingxuan visited Qi Zhao.
Anmi's address was sent over very quickly.
Han Mingyu stepped on the gas and drove straight towards Chen Wei's residence!
Chen Wei lives in an old, dilapidated neighborhood in the northern part of the city.
Han Mingyu parked his car on the side of the road, got out, and walked into the residential area.
Five minutes later, he walked out of the residential area looking defeated.
Chen Wei is not here.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the sky became overcast.
Han Mingyu sat in the car, his hands gripping the steering wheel, momentarily lost.
Where will Qi Mingxuan go?
Completely clueless, he eventually drove to Ronghao Group.
Blindly, yet with a touch of wishful thinking.
When he pushed open the door to Ronghao Group's office, the quiet office made Han Mingyu feel empty inside.
It was at this moment that he realized he didn't understand Qi Mingxuan at all.
She left without saying a word.
He searched for people everywhere like a headless fly.
There are only a few places to go.
Finally, I thought of Shen Qingshu.
He called Shen Qingshu to ask if Qi Mingxuan had contacted her.
Shen Qingshu said no, but she also sensed that something was wrong.
"Did you two have another fight?" Shen Qingshu asked on the other end of the phone.
"No."
"Why would she leave without a word?" Shen Qingshu asked anxiously. "Han Mingyu, she's pregnant. Why would she go out alone in this snowy weather if they hadn't argued?"
"I don't know either. She left right after I took a shower. I really don't know..."
Han Mingyu grabbed his hair.
He was filled with remorse. In retrospect, he realized that Qi Mingxuan's emotions were not right, but why didn't he notice it in time?
"Forget it, there's no use talking about this now. Let's find her first," Shen Qingshu said. "I'll ask a friend to help me check her whereabouts. You should also try to figure out where she might go."
"Okay, thank you!"
After hanging up the phone, Han Mingyu left Ronghao Group.
He was going to a villa on a hillside in the suburbs.
That was the only place he could think of.
The image of Qi Mingxuan cutting her wrists in that villa suddenly flashed into his mind!
Han Mingyu felt a tightness in his chest.
No, she was desperate back then, which is why she took such drastic measures. But things are different now. She and her husband are loving and are about to have their second child. She won't do anything rash, she won't!
Han Mingyu tried to comfort himself, but he pressed the accelerator harder and harder.
…
In the suburbs, at a seaside villa owned by Han Mingyu.
A black Maybach stopped in front of the seaside villa.
Qi Mingxuan sat in the car and picked up her phone.
Dozens of missed calls.
There are Han Mingyu's and An Mi's.
Qi Mingxuan did not return Han Mingyu's call.
She replied to Anmi.
On the other end of the line, Anmi answered the phone and burst into tears: "President Qi, where have you been?"
"Anmi, I'm sending you an address. Come pick me up now."
Anmi paused for a second, then asked, "Should we tell President Han?"
"No need, come over right now."
Anmi replied, "Okay, I'll be right there!"
After hanging up the phone, Qi Mingxuan sent the address directly to Anmi.
After that, she pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Snowflakes fell on her.
She was wearing a long black down jacket, her pregnant belly hidden inside, making her look somewhat bulky.
The villa's gate was guarded.
Seeing her approach, the plainclothes man guarding the gate stepped forward to stop her, saying, "This is a private villa. Who are you looking for?"
Qi Mingxuan's expression was indifferent. "Guan Shuo."
Guan Shuo?
The man frowned, sizing up Qi Mingxuan. "Who are you?"
"Your boss lady at Lixiang."
The man was startled. "You, you're President Qi!"
Qi Mingxuan said coldly, "Now you can move aside?"
The man hesitated for a moment.
Qi Mingxuan walked straight inside.
The man didn't dare to stop him and immediately called Guan Shuo.
Guan Shuo was shocked to receive the phone call and hear that Qi Mingxuan had come to his door!
He rushed downstairs.
When the door was opened, Qi Mingxuan was already outside.
Guan Shuo's forehead was sweating. "Madam..."
“You can call Han Mingyu, but I’m going in now,” Qi Mingxuan said coldly.
Guan Shuo was about to explode!
Qi Mingxuan didn't care about his reaction and went straight into the villa.
Guan Shuo, standing behind him, signaled to the people outside the door to hurry up and call Han Mingyu!
The person outside hurriedly took out their phone and dialed Han Mingyu's number.
It takes at least forty minutes to get here from the city center.
This amount of time is sufficient.
Qi Mingxuan asked, "Where is Lin Xiaoyue?"
Guan Shuo's back was covered in sweat. "Madam, please don't misunderstand. Mr. Han and Miss Lin don't have that kind of relationship. Mr. Han..."
"I'll ask you one more time," Qi Mingxuan said coldly, "Where is he?"
“…” Guan Shuo sighed, “I, I’ll take you up.”
...
Guan Shuo led Qi Mingxuan to the master bedroom on the second floor.
“Miss Lin has some problems. She is currently experiencing memory loss and is quite agitated. Madam, it would be best if you didn't go in, especially since you are pregnant.”
"Open the door."
Guan Shuo: "..."
Guan Shuo had no choice but to obediently open the door.
In the master bedroom, Lin Xiaoyue was lying on the bed.
His feet were shackled.
Guan Shuo explained, "Because Ms. Lin has suicidal tendencies, this is the only way we can take precautions."
Qi Mingxuan didn't say anything and stepped inside.
Guan Shuo followed closely behind, afraid that something might happen if he wasn't careful.
Qi Mingxuan walked to the bedside and looked at Lin Xiaoyue, who had her eyes closed and was breathing evenly.
She raised her hand, and a slap landed!
Snap!
Snap!
Snap!
Three crisp slaps landed in quick succession, one from each hand, each one delivered with full force.
Guan Shuo watched from the side, not daring to utter a sound, and subconsciously touched his cheek.
Lin Xiaoyue woke up groggily amidst a sharp pain.
When she opened her eyes and saw Qi Mingxuan, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
But she quickly calmed down.
She wore an innocent and vulnerable expression, asking, "Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
Lin Xiaoyue sat up, crawled to the corner of the bed, and curled up.
The shackles jingled.
Lin Xiaoyue's petite body trembled, looking utterly innocent and pitiful.
Qi Mingxuan stood by the bed. Although her face was pale and her lips were bloodless, she still exuded an aura that could not be ignored.
"Lin Xiaoyue, I'm hitting you!" Qi Mingxuan glared at her. "Don't think I'll let you off just because you're pretending to be crazy! Twenty years ago, your mother slept with my father, and now you want to sleep with my man too. How can you and your mother be so shameless!"
Lin Xiaoyue froze, staring at Qi Mingxuan in disbelief, "You..."
How did Qi Mingxuan find out about this?
Didn't she lose her memory?
No, she needs to calm down. She doesn't remember anything right now, and she can't let Qi Mingxuan's few words trigger her and expose her!
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Lin Xiaoyue burst into tears, babbling incoherently, "Mingyu, I want Mingyu! Brother Guan, this woman is terrifying! She'll beat me to death! Please call Mingyu to save me..."
