Chapter 334: He Left You a Video Before He Died
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hibiscus Garden, Luo Hai
The storm shrouded Luo Hai in fog, while the surroundings of Hibiscus Garden were covered in red fragments that fell on the ground.
The cool autumn breeze lingered in the air. It chilled people to the bone.
Within Hibiscus Garden, Mu Chenyan was worried sick. A single phone call was enough to leave her feeling confused and helpless.
“Chenyan, why was there M36n in the soil sample that you sent?”
Su Qingcheng had asked the forensic department to examine it. They were very familiar with this element by now.
Yuan Zhe’s direct cause of death was poisoning by M36n. This was a compound poison that Zheng Shuyan had developed…
Yuan Xuan had not returned the entire night. This was the second reason for Mu Chenyan’s anxiety.
Previously, Yuan Xuan would never stay out all night or disappear without a word.
The same message played whenever she tried to contact him. “Sorry, the person you’ve called is currently unavailable…”

South China Sea Oil Field
Yuan Xuan angrily glared at Yan Jun and the pilot who was holding him back. He snarled, “You don’t have to follow me if you’re afraid of dying. I can fly a helicopter on my own, so back off. I’m going back to Luo Hai!”
At the moment, Yan Jun was not afraid of offending Yuan Xuan. He snapped, “The storm is too violent now. It’ll be extremely dangerous for you to fly a helicopter. We’re not afraid of dying, but we’re worried that you’ll die! Calm down, the Mistress will be fine. You can use the satellite phone to communicate with the men who were deployed in Luo Hai…”
Yuan Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot, but he managed to slowly calm himself down.
He had already made the necessary preparations before coming here. Everything would be fine as long as Mu Chenyan remained in Hibiscus Garden.
However, a strange sense of uneasiness welled up inside him when he saw the look in Mu Chenwu’s eyes before his death.
Neither the helicopter nor the ships could be used as the storm was too intense. He was stranded in the South China Sea…

Hibiscus Garden
Mu Chenyan gazed through the sheer white curtains that led to the balcony. She saw a red-colored umbrella passing through the little garden in the middle. It was coming from the direction of Upper Mansion.
The Old Mistress’ mood was worsened by the sudden accidents that repeatedly happened within her household. This had caused her health to progressively deteriorate. She had been unable to get out of bed for many days.
Yuan Zhe died, Wen Ya left the Yuan household, and Xue Meiwei was in the hospital taking care of Yuan Tangzhong who seemed like a walking corpse. Yuan Xuan was mysteriously nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the third son of the Yuan Family refused to have anything to do with this feud.
Too many things had happened within a year. The Yuan Family was completely enveloped by an unnatural silence.
Shu Qinger was the only person who still had the energy to cause trouble now.
“The Mistress is upstairs. Miss, please have a seat. I’ll ask the Mistress to come down.”
Ah Fu’s voice could be heard clearly. Mu Chenyan immediately pushed the door open and stood face to face with Ah Fu before the girl came over.
“Mistress, Miss Zhao is here!”
The “Miss Zhao” that the servant was referring to was actually Shu Qinger.
Mu Chenyan nodded and followed Ah Fu downstairs.
Shu Qinger wore light makeup to accentuate her healthy complexion. Nonetheless, this woman always appeared rather irritating because she loved stirring up trouble.
Mu Chenyan put on a stern face and indifferently said, “What brings you here in spite of the heavy rain? I’ve already told you that I hate it when you visit Hibiscus Garden while I’m present.”
Shu Qinger sneered when she noticed that Mu Chenyan looked agitated.
“You have every right to say that. After all, you’re the mistress of Hibiscus Garden.”
She turned and sat down on the sofa. She murmured, “However, you won’t be the mistress for much longer!”
Mu Chenyan smirked. “Neither will you!”
Shu Qinger coldly glared at Mu Chenyan. Suddenly, she said, “I didn’t come here to fight with you. I came to tell you some good news and some bad news. Which would you like to hear first?”
“Stop beating around the bush!” Shu Qinger had made herself at home without asking for permission. As Mu Chenyan was already annoyed because of her pregnancy, she desperately wanted Ah Fu to chase Shu Qinger out with a broom.
“Alright, I’ll tell you the bad news first.” Shu Qinger gleefully fixed her gaze on Mu Chenyan. “Your brother, Mu Chenwu, led a fleet filled with explosives to the South China Sea Oil Field this morning…”
Mu Chenyan’s expression changed drastically and her body trembled when she heard this. “Mu Chenwu…”
“He’s dead!” Shu Qinger was secretly overjoyed when she saw Mu Chenyan’s stunned expression. “He left you a video before he died. Do you want to see it?”
