Jian Yan swaggered away with Gu Xiaoqi, and at the same time took away Mu Liancheng's soul and spirit. He returned to the hotel where he was staying, as if he was a walking corpse.

Jiayuanhao silently followed behind, trembling with fear.

After a long while, Mu Liancheng suddenly said to him: "Meet Jian Yan, I want to meet him."

"Alright."

After Jiayuanhao left, Mu Liancheng maintained that posture until the sky had gradually turned dark when someone knocked on the door.

"Boss, let's go."

The place Jiayuanhao booked was right across from the hotel, and when they arrived, Jian Yan was already there.

He was dressed in a royal blue suit with dark lines, Italian black pointed handmade leather shoes, wrist watch, cuffs, tie, everything was extremely valuable.

These clothes were even more extravagant than when he was in Rong City.

Compared to Jian Yan, Mu Liancheng was much simpler.

He was wearing the same suit he had come in. It was a simple black and white suit, without any unnecessary decorations.

But even so, Jian Yan was still suppressed by Mu Liancheng.

People often say that people rely on their clothes to saddle their horses, but they always forget the next sentence. One look and one see through it.

Appearance is number one, wearing clothes that only ranked second.

Mu Liancheng's imposing manner was not something a rich kid who had just left university could compare with. To put it bluntly, even if Mu Liancheng brought out a sack, the first person people would pay attention to would be him!

In the first round, Jian Yan lost completely.

He even felt that his clothes were too tired to lift his head.

But very quickly, Jian Yan recovered. Being outnumbered by Mu Liancheng was not considered shameful, since he was still young.

In just a short exchange, countless thoughts flashed past Jian Yan's mind, but Mu Liancheng did not have the time to ponder over these meaningless matters.

The first thing he asked when he sat down was, "Say it, your conditions."

Jian Yan was confused by Mu Liancheng's direct question, he couldn't really react to it. Could it be that the normal procedure wasn't for Mu Liancheng to ask Xiao Qi how he was at the Capital, how she turned into this, when he could see him, and finally when it was his turn to make a request?

Why didn't Mu Liancheng follow the rules and play the cards!

In the second round, Jian Yan lost again.

He clenched his fists, wanting to regain control of the situation, "Mu Liancheng, do you not want to know Xiao Qi's current situation?"

Mu Liancheng's pupils contracted slightly, but he still maintained a calm expression without revealing anything. He knew, this was the kind of time that he knew better than to panic, if he revealed a flaw, it was very likely that Jian Yan would catch him, and it would be even more difficult to save Xiao Qi.

Raising his arm and placing it on the table, Mu Liancheng leaned his body forward and looked straight at Jian Yan, "I don't want to."

"You!" Jian Yan subconsciously dodged, and retreated back to a distance that he thought was safe.

Jiayuanhao, who was at the side, disdained in his heart: Such a childish tactic yet dared to negotiate with the Ninth Master.

Jian Yan also realized that he had lost face, but he did not want to admit defeat, hence he sneered: "Mu Liancheng, you must be worried. I'm not afraid to tell you, Xiao Qi doesn't remember you anymore, her memories still remain from two years ago. "

After saying this, Jian Yan became even more pleased, "Two years ago, I was still Xiao Qi's fiance. She loved me dearly."

"I don't believe it!" Mu Liancheng bit the back of his teeth and spat out these three words. If not for his extremely strong willpower, just the words that Jian Yan said would have been enough to slice a person into a thousand pieces.

Jian Yan was very happy to see Mu Liancheng like this, he continued to speak, unafraid of death: "I told Xiao Qi that we are here on vacation to enjoy the world with you, she is very happy."

"Oh right, I still have to thank you. You really taught Xiao Qi well! "

"She's completely different from those girls outside. She's innocent and cute. She's gentle and sensible, and listens to whatever I say."

"Xiao Qi is very happy right now. She's a lot fatter, but I think it's better for girls to be a bit fatter. It's more comfortable to hug her."

Jian Yan continued to provoke his, every word was like a knife, stabbing Mu Liancheng's heart, and the blood kept on flowing like it was free.

But what could he do? He could only listen.

Jian Yan saw that Mu Liancheng was indifferent, and was even more anxious. The reason he came here today was not to see Mu Liancheng's expressionless face.

"Mu Liancheng, Xiao Qi needs my arms around his every night so he can't fall asleep. The way she sleeps is so beautiful, he's as obedient as a kitten." Jian Yan used a fierce medicine on him.

When he finished, Mu Liancheng suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

How could he not know that others did not know? Every time Gu Xiaoqi slept, it was like a fight. If it wasn't for him hugging her tightly, she would have been able to roll out of the bedroom into the study.

She was as obedient as a kitten, or as well-behaved as a Tibetan mastiff.

Mu Liancheng firmly believed that even if Gu Xiaoqi lost her memories, her subconscious would not change. For example, her sleeping posture.

He had no choice but to believe it!

Mu Liancheng released the palm that had been scabbed with great difficulty, concealing the madness in his heart, and asked with a cold tone: "Your condition."

Jian Yan was so angry that the roots of his teeth were itching.

If he hadn't seen Mu Liancheng's expression of heartache, if he hadn't felt Mu Liancheng's pain, he wouldn't have been willing to give up!

Before Mu Liancheng had appeared, he was still an influential figure in the school and had a rich and beautiful fiancee. Although the news of this daughter being fake later on didn't affect his life, he was still a tall, handsome, and rich male god, with countless beautiful and outstanding girls throwing themselves into his arms.

But Mu Liancheng broke all these.

The Gu Xiaoqi he had abandoned turned into the most honorable woman in the entire Rong City.

The Gu Jiabao he had made an engagement with wanted to climb into Mu Liancheng's bed all day, relying on his mother's grace.

Ji Ruyu, whom he had never put in her eyes before, had actually colluded with outsiders to "betray" him, making him the laughingstock of everyone.

This is all Mu Liancheng's fault!

He had destroyed not only his love, but his career, and his family.

The Jian family was originally a well-known family with great Rong City. Although they could not compare to the powers of Mu Family, they still held ten billion in assets, enough for several generations to squander.

However, Mu Liancheng did everything he could to annex the property of the Jian family, and watched as the Jian family fell one step at a time.

Just because he hurt Gu Xiaoqi.

Jian Yan carried a burden of guilt toward his family, and after a long while, he finally could not take it anymore.

Hence, he blamed all of this on Mu Liancheng. He did not remember how heartless he was, he did not remember how many times he had framed Gu Xiaoqi, and did not remember how many times he had harmed Gu Xiaoqi's life, so he did not even want to look at the dirty things done by his family. He only hated Mu Liancheng and wished that he could eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Hatred had already clouded Jian Yan's eyes, he did not have any rationality to speak of.

"Mu Liancheng, my request is very simple. I want you to — die!" Jian Yan said these words viciously. His expression was crazed, he no longer had even the slightest bit of the appearance of a young noble.

The more he acted this way, the calmer Mu Liancheng became.

Changing into a comfortable position, Mu Liancheng replied calmly: "I promise you."

This time, it was Jian Yan who was stunned. With some hesitation, he repeated: "I said, I want your life!"

"Alright."

Mu Liancheng answered naturally once again. It was as if Jian Yan was saying that the weather today was not bad, and treating him to a meal was as simple as asking him out.

Mu Liancheng's straightforward answer made Jian Yan panic, but he had already prepared for it.

From his pocket, he took out a small military knife. Jian Yan placed it on the table, and stared at Mu Liancheng, "Then you will die. If you die, I will immediately let Gu Xiaoqi go. "

Mu Liancheng was silent for two seconds, then took the blade and placed it in his hand, inspecting it carefully, "It's made by hand in Germany, the edge is sharp, it's a good thing."

"Stop bullshitting, hurry up and make your move." Jian Yan impatiently urged, his eyes releasing a red light, wishing that he could take Mu Liancheng's place and stab him in the chest.

It was a pity, but Mu Liancheng was not an idiot.

Bang!

Mu Liancheng suddenly made his move, the blade ruthlessly stabbed into the back of the chair behind Jian Yan, the blade tip stabbing half an inch into the wood, the blade handle slightly trembling.

Jian Yan was so scared that his hands and feet were trembling, cold sweat instantly flowed down his body.

Mu Liancheng picked up his handkerchief and wiped his slender fingers, "Jian Yan, you have really not made any progress at all."

Throwing down the handkerchief, Mu Liancheng stood up mercilessly. With his back facing Jian Yan, he said: "Go back and tell the people behind you, I, Mu Liancheng, will accompany you to the end!"

Mu Liancheng's brainless words caused the blood on his face to instantly disappear.

How did he know?

Jian Yan returned to his residence in a daze. In the huge room, he was the only person there.

In fact, he did lie.

Jian Yan had also only arrived at Capital half a month ago, and the person who came to fetch him had promised that as long as he accompanied Gu Xiaoqi by her side and acted as her fiance, the other party would give him a huge sum of money.

This money was enough for Jian Yan to make a comeback. Thus, he agreed.

He would accompany Gu Xiaoqi to eat, drink and play around. His fiance was more like a high-class nanny at times. She didn't need to do household chores, she only needed to make her master happy.

It was a surprise that Mu Liancheng came looking for him. Even when he came looking for Mu Liancheng, it was on his own accord.

If that mysterious person knew about it, then …

What was there to be afraid of? Just as Jian Yan was panicking, the door was pushed open and a tall and muscular man walked in.

"Mr. Jane, you have violated our agreement."

With regards to the unknown power, Jian Yan was already afraid. He stuttered as he explained, "I, I was just … this was an accident. I promise, I will never do it again."

The man did not want to hear any more. He slowly raised his arm, revealing a hard black object.

Jian Yan's back felt a chill, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, a sweet voice sounded out, "Big brother, why are you here?"

When Gu Xiaoqi's figure appeared before her eyes, Jian Yan's tears almost fell. He had never loved Gu Xiaoqi so much before, she was simply a life-saving grandaunt!

"Xiao Qi!" The man immediately retracted his hand. He gave Jian Yan a warning glance, then said gently: "Why have you come?"
