e hadn't thought about for many years but today it starkly reminded him of his mistake back then.Because of this negligence and dereliction of duty, from now on, every task he was responsible for woul...The Substitute Ex-Wife of the CEO 726 (Complete)

As they were talking, a police officer came to question people and take statements. Every exit of the hospital was guarded, thoroughly searching for suspects. Washington’s policemen had keen senses and wouldn’t miss any suspicious man. Three men who were about the same height as the suspect had already been taken away. Mu Baixue thought to himself that these officers usually weren't reliable. The murderer was right here; where else would they be looking

Mu Baixue was a well-known figure in Washington, with such high exposure and popularity that almost every resident of the city recognized him—even three-year-olds could accurately name him when pointing at him. Naturally, these two police officers also knew Mu Baixue. They immediately had stars in their eyes upon seeing him. Since they were fans of his, there was no suspicion on them for being impressionable. Indeed, celebrity effect did have an impact.

Although the two officers were fangirling over him, they still needed to take statements from witnesses. Ji Ice was the only eyewitness, and the police wanted her to describe what she saw. Ji Ice found it difficult as she hadn't seen the perpetrator’s face. All she knew about him was that he was tall, wore a mask, and had light green eyes.

The policemen also struggled because she was the sole witness but couldn’t provide any useful information. They became frustrated and their tone turned harsh. Ji Ice was someone who wouldn't back down when confronted with tough talk; her expression darkened at the policeman’s stern attitude. Mu Baixue quickly interceded, saying, "Officers, Ji Ice is timid. She was terrified seeing a criminal. How could she tell if it's him Please don’t put pressure on her. Look how pale and trembling she is."

The two policemen were speechless—was the person who turned pale Ji Ice or themselves It was clear that Mu Baixue wanted them to give in, but why did he talk about someone being scared

Mu Baixue used his eloquent tongue to appease the police. One of them asked if they came together, and when Mu Baixue confirmed it, the officers finally left satisfied.

Mu Baixue pursed his lips as he suddenly thought about something amiss.

When the policeman had casually inquired whether they were here together, he hadn’t suspected anything. After all, no one would think that an internationally renowned superstar who was famous worldwide would kill a thoroughly evil criminal with such neat and clean methods.

The whole situation looked like something an experienced perpetrator would do.

Though the police didn't suspect him, they would still check everyone entering the hospital today. Mu Baixue always handled things cautiously to ensure he was risk-free.

Pike had just finished getting his IV drip and was feeling better. He invited Mu Baixue for a meal but was turned down because Mu Baixue remembered his older brother at home. After that, Mu Baixue left in his car with some matters to attend to. Ji Ice watched as the car carrying Mu Baixue gradually vanished from her sight, feeling somewhat dejected.

Mu Baixue had a big brother now and didn’t care for her anymore.

Pike comforted her, saying, "Hey, don't feel bad. That's just how Bai Xiao is. Once his brother recovers, he'll be all yours."

Ji Ice pursed her lips and looked at Pike, asking, "Didn’t you say that the injured person in Mu Baixue’s family isn’t his big brother"

Parker is an optimist. He has a fiery temper but his heart is in the right place, and he doesn't want Mo Bailangwei and Ji Bing to have any conflicts. At this moment, he said, "I was just talking casually; don't take it to heart. He might really be busy."

Ji Bing asked, "You think, why would Bailangwei like me I'm not as good-looking as his ex-girlfriends. Is my relationship with him just a passing fancy Am I overthinking things"

Parker said, "Ji Bing, you're really being unfair to yourself. I can see that Bailangwei is sincere about you. He's just acting strange lately; don't take it personally. There’s nothing serious going on. It'll pass soon if you don’t worry too much."

"Really"

"Can I lie to you, man" Parker said seriously, "I never fib."

Ji Bing finally felt relieved and agreed when Parker invited her out for a meal together. She nodded and followed him.

When Mo Bailangwei returned home, he was surprised to find his boss sitting in the living room downstairs. Mo Bailangwei held the keys in hand, slowly looking up at the stairs. His boss had such an incredible wound; how did he even get down here

The boss sat calmly reading a magazine, acting like nothing was wrong with him. If it weren't for the glaring red bloodstain on his chest that caught the eye, one wouldn’t guess he’d been seriously injured. Mo Bailangwei was stunned.

His boss was indeed an amazing person; even if he were down to his last breath, he could still move around freely.

"Boss, how did you manage to come downstairs" Mo Bailangwei’s mouth formed a perfect O. His heart pounded. Boss, are you trying not to get better by making yourself so busy When will you recover

He was really worried sick.

"Where have you been" Mo Yao spoke coldly and stared at Mo Bailangwei with narrowed eyes. The antiseptic smell on him made his brows furrow in concern: did he go to the hospital Is something wrong Or is there someone else

Mo Yao chose the latter; this body was tough, without any signs of illness or pain.

Mo Bailangwei didn’t want to tell his boss that he had been out killing people. Intuition told him it would upset his boss, so Mo Bailangwei made up an excuse and went upstairs. He still had things to do; the hospital’s surveillance tapes needed to be destroyed.

Especially those from when entering or leaving the hospital. When he hacked into the hospital's mainframe, he secretly thought it was a bad idea because he saw that the police were already reviewing the footage. It wasn’t too late yet though; there was still footage of him in this hallway before he changed out of his doctor’s coat…

Moxiao Bai quickly tampered with the hospital's surveillance footage, hoping it wouldn't cause him any trouble. He was familiar with how American police handled cases; in such a short time frame, they probably hadn’t seen much yet.

After finishing these tasks, Moxiao Bai leaned back tiredly and couldn’t help rubbing his temples. How could he explain this to the boss Honestly telling him would definitely upset him because over the past few years, the boss almost never allowed him to kill anyone, leaving such dirty work to others. He also feared killing...

Thinking about the only blemish on his這輩子life, Moxiao Bai felt as if a fly had crawled into his heart, making him terribly uncomfortable.

No matter how deeply you hide something or how unwilling you are to think about it, it will quietly seep into your mind when everything is quiet at night, reminding you of your vulnerabilities and unresolved issues.

For a moment, he thought about many things.

If not for his concern for the boss downstairs, perhaps he could have sat there all day. After each kill, his mood would be particularly low.

Moxiao Bai went down the stairs, and Moyo glared at him coldly, "Did you go to kill someone"

This was almost a rhetorical question. Moxiao Bai looked at Moyo helplessly, not knowing why he would ask this; Moyo snorted in disdain. He smelled of disinfectant and had an eerie aura of killing intent, along with the lingering sharpness.

Thinking that he went to the hospital made Moyo think about the surviving thug, leading him to guess that it must have been to kill someone.

Only murder could cause such a worrisome look on his face.

To deny it would be to go against his image as an invincible fighter.

"Boss, there’s nothing you can’t figure out. There was one survivor who might have identified you, so I took care of him," Moxiao Bai said casually; killing wasn’t something to boast about, just state it plainly.

Moyo seemed uninterested in listening and tossed a magazine at him, saying out of the blue, "I'm hungry."

Moxiao Bai was taken aback and then took out the fruit he had prepared for Moyo. He went to make food for him; being hungry was good, it meant that there wasn’t something worse going on. Moxiao Bai still found it amazing how resilient his boss was. Despite all this折騰, the wound hadn’t become infected or worsened, which was truly miraculous. Apart from describing him as a miracle, he had no other words to describe his boss.

Moyao paid no attention to his gaze and calmly continued reading his magazine while eating fruit.墨小白 sniffed his nose and went into the kitchen to cook, while Moyao enjoyed himself like an emperor.

Moyao took up the phone and instinctively wanted to let Mo Chen handle the subsequent matters; however, he frowned as he glanced at Mo Bai in the kitchen. Why did he always feel uneasy about Bai In reality, Bai excelled in every task and there was no need for him to have Mo Chen check it again.

What was the rationale behind his past actions

He silently put down the phone; had he hurt Bai’s feelings with this attitude From a young age, Bai was always the most beloved in the family. Although Wushuang was a girl, Bai received more affection from everyone. He remembered when Bai was younger, he was so fair-skinned and delicate that no one could bear to harm him. He and Mo Chen were exposed to the elements daily and their skin darkened, but Bai remained fair even after exposure to sunlight. He hardly ever made Bai do anything; instead, he took care of everything himself.

He couldn’t bear seeing Bai hurt or in danger. Even if it pained him, he would step back for Bai’s sake, and though reluctant, he always obeyed without causing any trouble for Moyao.

That was right—causing trouble.

No matter how perilous the situation or dire his need for help, he never let Bai join in. He wanted Bai to wait quietly; their performance would be the same regardless of who was paired with whom.

Moyao thought back and realized just how unhappy Bai must have been then.

How terribly unhappy.

Bai had a face that made everyone want to protect him. Moyao, Mo Chen, and Wushuang all naturally wanted to shield him from harm and keep him out of danger; they thought it was their duty as his older siblings to watch over him.

But did they ever ask Bai if he wished for such treatment Did Bai truly want them to protect him So proud, so considerate—w.""So soon"Ye Feimo nodded, "I probably won’t be back until the 10th.
