Li Chengyi frowned slightly, and looked from the garden through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the guests toasting at the banquet and the Mu brothers on the stage. There was a lingering gloom in his eyes. If they were not so powerful, he would not have been so worried about Li Rao.

He glanced towards the depths of the garden again. It seemed that nothing would happen in the Mu family. Li Chengyi didn't care about Li Rao. After venting her anger, she would come back on her own. He didn't need to worry too much about her.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the venue.

But when he returned to the venue, he found that Mu Yanchen, who was originally on the stage, had disappeared at some point. He asked the guests throughout the week about him, and everyone gave the same answer, saying that the person who had been the center of attention just now seemed to have fallen into dust in an instant, without causing even a ripple.

He sneered, and Mu Guichao on the stage seemed to sense something and actually raised his glass in his direction.

But Li Chengyi didn't care about that. He turned around and went to find Li Rao, who loved to chase Mu Yanchen. As long as he found Li Rao, he would be able to find Mu Yanchen! He firmly believed that.

The garden of the Mu family's main residence is very large. I don't know if it was intentional, but the venue tonight is magnificent and looks like a palace under the lights. However, the garden, which looks like a royal garden, has only a few lights. Li Chengyi had to pick up his mobile phone and turn on the light.

There wasn't even the proper servants in the garden.

Li Chengyi couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Li Chengben was walking along the path. There were all kinds of rare plants on the side, which were very attractive to him who controlled the Dongling Pharmacy. But he had no intention of stopping to appreciate them. He walked in a hurry but did not forget to observe the surrounding environment.

Until he stopped in front of an inconspicuous path, he held up his mobile phone and shone the light into the bushes. Only then could he clearly see the branches that were broken by some unknown external force. The green leaves had fallen to the ground and lay quietly on the soil, looking messy and dishevelled.

He squatted down and could even see the faint footprints in the mud. Because the footprints were not big and only left shallow marks on the mud, Li Chengyi concluded that they were women's footprints.

The figure of Li Rao flashed through his mind, and he suddenly stood up, following the traces of broken branches and walked in. It was an unfamiliar path that deviated from the Shiqi path. Why would Li Rao choose to take a better path and instead venture into such a remote path?

This path seemed to have just been opened. A terrible thought lingered in Li Chengyi's mind: something must have happened to Li Rao!

Without caring about anything else, Li Chengyi walked forward quickly, stepping roughly on those rare plants, and pulling away the vines that were entangled in front of him with his hands. Until he reached the end, his vision suddenly opened up. There was a white dome-shaped glass house, surrounded by a whole wall of vines. The outside of the vines was lush and tall trees. The glass house could not be seen at all when looking in from the outside.

Li Chengyi walked into the glass room carefully, but found that the other side of the glass room was covered with broken glass. His pupils shrank. Li Rao was lying on the broken glass. There was a big cut on her dress, and the exposed skin was covered with mottled red marks, which spread to her two thin white legs!

Her eyes were tightly closed as if she was unconscious, but there were not many signs of pain on her face, it was white and clean. It was just the marks on her body that made Li Chengyi think too much.

He quickly squatted in front of her and carefully held her in his arms. He placed his fingertips lightly under her nose to feel her breath. When the hot and humid air slowly sprayed on his fingertips, his heart gradually settled down.

Not knowing what kind of injury she had suffered before she was killed, Li Cheng took off his coat and wrapped Li Rao tightly, with an unprecedented coldness in his eyes. He carried Li Rao and walked over from another visible path.

He believed that the perpetrator must have been in a panic and randomly found a place to rush out, so he followed the man's path.

But he felt something was not right as he walked with Li Rao in his arms. The escape route actually led to a room in the main house. The room was pitch black, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, he could only vaguely see a figure moving inside.

He looked deeply inside, and he still couldn't forget that scene.

Mu Yanchen was naked, staring at him and Li Rao in his arms with dim eyes, and his body was covered in blood, no one knew whether it was his or someone else's, but it was imprinted on his pale skin bit by bit, flashing a seductive and shocking beauty under the moonlight.

Li Rao was hospitalized, in the best hospital in Shengjing.

The doctor told Li Chengyi that Li Rao had only suffered some superficial injuries and her vital signs were relatively stable, but she showed no signs of waking up. What made Li Chengyi most angry was that Li Rao's body was stained with Mu Yanchen's blood.

The shocking scene of that night flashed through Li Chengyi's mind again. He didn't know what happened between Li Rao and Mu Yanchen, but everything that happened during that time told him that Mu Yanchen was the instigator. He was bloodthirsty and it was he who made Li Rao become what she is now, neither human nor ghost!

After that, Li Cheng sent Li Rao back to the coastal city and never set foot in Shengjing again.

Shengjing made him realize clearly that he did not know his own limitations. No matter if it was the Seventh Son, with whom he used to be very close, or the arrogant Mu Guichao, they were all people he could not afford to offend. Li Rao had to bear the consequences this time and he could never wake up from then on.

**

This matter was not new to the people in the ward. Juhong and Meibai naturally knew what happened. They also attended the banquet that year with Li Chengyi. Situ Rui was also aware of it. He was Mu Yanchen's right-hand man back then. Naturally, he had heard about it, but he didn't know the details.

The two people involved at that time, one kept silent, and the other lay unconscious, without even the chance to speak.

Shen Zhao frowned, glanced at Mu Yanchen who was standing at the door and not close to the container, and then looked at Li Rao in the container. Although she didn't know what exactly happened that year, she absolutely did not believe that Mu Yanchen harmed Li Rao. He himself had that mysterious poison in his body, and the incident happened in the main residence of the Mu family. Any situation is possible, and she cannot sentence him so arbitrarily.

She didn't want to pursue what happened that year too much. After all, only the person involved knew the truth. If he didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't stop him. But this matter was not that simple.

But the most important thing at this time is to protect Li Rao's physical vital signs.

She looked up at Li Chengyi and said, "Can you give me a portion of the liquid? Then I need to open the container and touch Li Rao's body directly."
