Two weeks later, Huo Jinxi, Qi Yuan and other staff boarded the plane back to Tongcheng.
At the same time, there is still no news about Mu Qian's whereabouts.
Huo Jinxi was sitting by the window, his posture seemed casual, but he was looking at a piece of information in his hand with a heavy look.
Qi Yuan glanced at the information in his hand, and gradually moved his eyes out the window. Looking at the clouds in the sky, he couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart.
If this continues, something will happen!
After returning to China, Huo Jinxi still devoted himself to his work and only spent a small amount of time with Huo Qiran or Mr. Huo. As for the matter of finding Mu Qian, he never interfered again.
But despite this, Qi Yuan still dared not relax and kept in close contact with private detective agencies across the United States.
Under such circumstances, one late night more than half a month later, Qi Yuan suddenly received a phone call.
The call came to his work phone, and Qi Yuan picked it up without looking. Unexpectedly, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was Mu Qian's voice: "Assistant Qi!"
For a moment, Qi Yuan almost screamed uncontrollably!
He could not restrain his emotions and stood up suddenly, "Miss Mu, where are you?"
"You care where I am?" Mu Qian's voice sounded lazy, "I'm calling you to tell you, don't let people look for me all over the world and affect my work, you know?"
Qi Yuan was angry at her tone, and the resentment he had been worrying about for so many days surged into his heart, "You disappeared without saying a word. Do you know that Mr. Huo was very worried?"
After hearing this, Mu Qian suddenly chuckled, "Really? How to worry about it?"
Qi Yuan immediately realized that this question was a trap, so he kept silent vigilantly and said instead: "Miss Mu, can you tell me where you are now? After confirming your location, I immediately withdrew all private investigators."
"It's not convenient." Mu Qian replied.
Qi Yuan was silent for a moment before speaking again: "Miss Mu, I don't know why you want so much, but Mr. Huo treats you very differently. At least I can see that Mr. Huo really likes you."
"Well, so what?" Mu Qian asked, "I should be grateful, right?"
Qi Yuan took a deep breath before speaking again: "You didn't have this attitude when you were in New York. Is Miss Mu playing with people's hearts?"
When Mu Qian heard this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. The laughter lasted for a while before she said, "Assistant Qi, what is said between men and women is just love between you and me. What's the point of playing around with it?"
Are you joking? When I was in New York, I thought your boss was pretty good, so I was happy to play with him. But when it gets boring later, then I won’t play anymore. Isn’t it such a simple thing? "
"How could you do this?" Qi Yuan said angrily, "Even if you want to leave, you can still explain it to me? What's the point of leaving without saying a word?"
"Okay, then I will explain it now." Mu Qian said, "Please tell your boss, what about the love between men and women? Just look at it and live happily, right? When I want him, he will
Of course it's important. I don't want him now. Please get him as far away as you can. Your boss is very familiar with the idea of coming and going when you call him, so he won't be able to bear it. Tell him not to bother me again!"
After listening to Mu Qian's words, Qi Yuan was about to open his mouth to say something, but Mu Qian had already hung up the phone.
Qi Yuan held the receiver and stood there stiffly, at a loss.
Before this, he would never have thought that Mu Qian would finally show up and say such things to him.
How could he convey such words to Huo Jinxi?
However, God probably took pity on him, and when Qi Yuan was confused, Huo Jinxi walked out of the office, apparently getting ready to get off work.
Qi Yuan quickly put down the receiver and smiled reluctantly at Huo Jinxi, "Mr. Huo."
Huo Jinxi glanced at his appearance and only asked: "Whose phone number is it?"
"Ms. Mu...Ms. Mu Qian." Qi Yuan answered bravely.
Hearing this, Huo Jinxi's expression did not change at all. He walked to his desk and reached out to press the recording playback button.
Next, Huo Jinxi leaned against his desk and listened quietly to the conversation between him and Mu Qian.
The office was very quiet late at night. Although Mu Qian's voice had a slight change in tone across the phone line, it was unusually clear.
"When I wanted him, of course he was important. Now that I don't want him, please get him as far away as possible——"
Qi Yuan lowered his head and did not dare to look at Huo Jinxi's expression. He just stood aside silently.
After the recording was played, Qi Yuan said quickly: "Mr. Huo, I immediately stepped up the investigation of Miss Mu's whereabouts. She found out that we were looking for her and called us. It should be easy to find her."
"No need." Huo Jinxi suddenly said.
Qi Yuan then looked at Huo Jinxi and saw that his expression was still cold and solemn, but there was a hint of careless laziness in his eyes.
This look was very familiar to Qi Yuan.
Huo Jinxi, who always kept his emotions secret, might not be really smiling when he laughed, and he might not be really angry when he was angry. But when he showed such an expression, he was really angry.
Getting angry means going on a killing spree.
"Call New York." Huo Jinxi said.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but clenched his palms after hearing this.

One month later, Los Angeles.
On Wednesday evening, there was not a single customer in the old-fashioned bar in the alley. Mu Qian, who was wearing a waiter uniform, sat chatting and joking with another dark-skinned waitress. While they were laughing and joking, the wind chime at the door rang, and a
An Asian man about thirty years old walked in.
In the past two months, this man came almost once a week, and would sit there for several hours each time.
Mu Qian was too lazy to move on the sofa, so he motioned to the black girl to come forward and say hello.
The two had a good relationship, and the black girl didn't mind her being lazy, so she stepped forward to greet the guests.
Mu Qian was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. When she was having fun, she suddenly heard the black girl calling her.
Mu Qian looked up and saw the black girl standing next to the man, and the man was looking at her.
Mu Qian put away her phone, stood up and walked over, smiling slightly, "Do you need me to do anything?"
The man just pushed over a glass of wine, leaned back in his chair and looked at her, "Drink."
Mu Qian stared at the glass of wine for a while and responded readily: "Okay!"
She stayed in this small bar for two full months, and finally today, this man took the initiative to talk to her.
Mu Qian picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
A smile suddenly appeared on the face of the man opposite who had been serious and tense for a long time.
Mu Qian put down her wine glass and was about to speak when the cell phone tucked into her heart suddenly vibrated several times. She shrugged at the man, took out her cell phone and looked at it, but the smile on her lips froze.
