In the next few days, Mu Yanchen was ordered by Shen Zhao to lie in bed and rest, and Situ Rui reported everything that had happened before to him.

That night, on the edge of the cliff, Shen Zhao used silver needles to temporarily relieve Mu Yanchen's pain, which had a certain effect and allowed him to fall asleep peacefully. The bare land was filled with the rich aroma of ancient fireflies.

Just when everyone felt there was no hope, the sound of birds chirping was heard from the sky.

No one knew what was coming, and everyone held their breath and waited nervously for its arrival.

There was only the light of the moon on the cliff, and vaguely several black shadows could be seen floating along the coastline. As the birds' chirping became clearer, the shadows gradually expanded.

Some people saw that they were indeed a few birds, and their chirping sounded like the sounds of an oriole, clear and melodious, but seemed to carry a certain sadness, as if they were accusing the long separation.

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone could clearly see the true appearance of the birds.

It is the size of a chicken, but its body is longer and more slender. The two white feathers on its head draw a graceful arc in the air and hang down to its tail. The red feathers all over its body reflect the color of a ruby ​​under the moonlight. The wings and feet are white, and its eyes are as blue as the sky, deep, and crystal clear.

The birds just stood on the old branch of the tree at the edge of the cliff. As the branch swayed, their two glass-like eyes turned, taking in the expressions of the people on the cliff, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Shen Zhao stared at the birds without blinking. Situ Rui, on the side, held his breath and gestured to the men in black to capture the birds at all costs. This was probably the only way to save Mu Yanchen.

The birds just looked down at the people on the ground from high above, seemingly indifferent to the violence they were about to inflict on them.

Just before Situ Rui gave the order, Shen Zhao stopped him.

She opened another bottle of firefly powder, but this time she did not sprinkle it on the ground in vain. Instead, she poured some into her palm. The crystal powder of the firefly looked like broken gold. The birds seemed to sense it and their eyes began to focus on the powder.

One, two, and then several. They flew down from the tree branches and landed on the ground. Under the gaze of the men in black, they jumped a few steps and arrived in front of Shen Zhao.

The leading one stared at Shen Zhao for a while, then lowered its head and gently rubbed Shen Zhao's palm with its cheek, and then suddenly stood up. When everyone thought it was going to hurt Shen Zhao, it did not hesitate to peck at its heart with its sharp beak.

Shen Zhao watched the bird commit suicide in front of him, bright red blood gushing out from its heart. The other birds followed suit. Everyone was heartbroken as they watched them commit suicide together.

The men in black quickly packed up the bird carcasses, but some blood was still spilled on the land.

Shen Zhao saw that the blood had combined with the powder that had been sprinkled on it previously to form a small black "bean", and then saw those "bean" buried straight into the soil.

She blinked, and her eyelashes trembled. She thought, at this time next year, perhaps the fireflies would be able to see the light of day again.

It is not difficult to guess what happened next. Shen Zhao must have used the corpses of the birds to urgently make a medicine, which allowed Mu Yanchen to wake up.

He sat on the bed with his back against the bed board, reached out and took the medicine that had been prepared on the small table. It was specially developed for him by Shen Zhao, which could remove the remaining toxins in the body. He put his lips close to the edge of the bowl and took a sip.

The refreshing and sweet taste of herbs filled his entire mouth, leaving a lingering sweet aftertaste. He could feel Shen Zhao's intentions. She had taken so much trouble to prepare such a bitter medicine that was difficult to swallow for him.

After a while, the bowl was empty. He put the empty bowl back to its original place and his sharp eyes fell on Situ Rui who had been waiting for some time.

Situ Rui felt a chill down his spine, and couldn't help but miss the well-behaved look of his boss lying in Shen Zhao's arms on the edge of the cliff.

Suddenly, Mu Yanchen said, "Did anything happen in the Mu residence during the few days I was unconscious?"

Situ Rui knew that Mu Yanchen was now in better spirits and had started to deal with those blind people.

Then he began to tell about all the evil things, all the monsters and demons.

First, Mu Yingfeng and Mu Guichao in the Mu residence were both judged to have died of illness, Cai Ninglian was judged to have been murdered, and Song Si committed murder in public. He was handed over to the police together with Mu Daying and Duan Luchong. All the key veterans of the Mu Group and the doctors threatened by Song Si were sent back to their homes.

Everyone in the third room was fine. Mu Sheng woke up after a day of coma, and they were placed in the guest room of the Mu residence.

The Mu residence has been temporarily cordoned off by the police, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.

The guests who fled were not seriously injured. Lu Siming and his father had returned to City H, while Li Chengyi and others were waiting for news from the Mu residence in their own villa. The same was true for other families.

In fact, everyone is waiting for news, whether Mu Yanchen can survive successfully. If not, the Mu family will be a giant fat pig, waiting to be harvested by a group of hungry wolves with sheathed fangs. If he can survive, they will do their best to please him. After all, those who can survive such a storm are not simple characters.

"Okay, got it. Where's Xiao Yi?"

Situ Rui thought the report was over, but Mu Yanchen mentioned this person. Wasn't that Sheng Baiyi's predecessor? And he was also involved in a serious case.

Situ Rui didn't know what to say. He was afraid of being affected by Mu Yanchen's anger. After all, it was he who personally handed his lover to the murderer. He could hardly imagine how his boss would feel now.

He glanced at Mu Yanchen's face and said carefully, "He is still in H City. I heard that Mu Guichao had intended to win him over earlier, so he asked him to do something. After that thing was completed, Mu Guichao had a handle on him, which was considered a ticket to join the gang. The one who proposed that thing was Duan Luchong, and the one who actually did it was Xiao Yi."

"He can still stay in H City so safely..."

After a pause, Mu Yanchen glanced at Situ Rui, his cold eyes were enough to freeze anyone, "Bring him here, this should be what he has always dreamed of."

Situ Rui was stunned. He didn't dare to guess what Mu Yanchen was going to do to Xiao Yi, but it was definitely not a good thing. However, he could only agree, "Yes."

After all, that was the murderer who directly caused the death of Sheng Baiyi, his former lover. The body was still kept in the funeral home and no one dared to move it.

There was a knock on the door. Situ Rui felt that he had finished talking to the boss, so he stood up and walked out, opening the door for Shen Zhao. He was already familiar with the knock on the door.

When Shen Zhao passed by him, he heard Situ Rui say in a low voice: "The whole thing will be over soon, just wait to be the hostess."

Shen Zhao looked at Situ Rui's departing back in confusion, and walked straight to Mu Yanchen's bed without thinking.
