Mo Qingyun finally took the initiative to find Ou Yunchen, but her first words were to ask Ou Yunchen to find someone to release Xie Youlin.
Ou Yunchen: "Those multinational corporations have all confessed. Xie Youlin is 100% involved."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "You have a way to save him, don't you?"
Ou Yunchen: "No!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Then I beg you, please help him!"
Ou Yunchen: "Xiao Yun, what's wrong with you! He's a criminal! Let alone me, who would help him?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "You hurt him once, and it's not enough. Why the second time?"
Ou Yunchen: "If he could live an honest life after coming out this time, he wouldn't have gone in!"
Mo Qingyun shook her head with red eyes, her heart so anxious that she even had the crazy idea of breaking him out of jail.
Ou Yunchen: "Xiao Yun, are you really that foolish? Do you know you should also be investigated? Helping him launder money is the same crime!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I know you helped me. Can you help him again?"
Ou Yunchen shook off Mo Qingyun's hand. He truly thought Mo Qingyun was being utterly foolish, begging for that scoundrel.
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Yunchen..."
Ou Yunchen: "Don't think about it anymore. I won't help him. If you plead for him again, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Okay..."
Mo Qingyun turned to leave dejectedly, but she was unwilling. She might still have a chance!
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Yunchen, can you let me see him?"
***
Don't say Ou Yunchen was cold-hearted. He really asked Uncle Da to let Mo Qingyun see Xie Youlin.
Xie Youlin: "Xiao Yun? You shouldn't be here!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Are you alright?"
Xie Youlin: "I've been in before. How can I be alright or not."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I begged Ou Yunchen. He refused to let you go..."
Xie Youlin looked at the dark one-way mirror, then slowly raised his hand...
Xie Youlin's sign language: "Xiao Yun, you need to find people from Yijie Mei."
Mo Qingyun also suddenly became vigilant.
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "How could they possibly see me? You've always been the only one in contact!"
Xie Youlin's sign language: "I've made arrangements. If something happens to me, you are me!"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "What do you want me to do?"
Xie Youlin's sign language: "Tell them the money has been transferred. They know what to do with the rest."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "What about my brother's whereabouts?"
Xie Youlin's sign language: "They're ready. You'll get it when you go."
Behind the one-way mirror, everyone was staring at them intently, but no one expected Xie Youlin to be communicating with Mo Qingyun through sign language!!!
At this moment, only Ou Yunchen understood their conversation. He felt his worldview was about to collapse!
Mo Qingyun was colluding with Xie Youlin!
She knew about Xie Youlin's money laundering from the very beginning!
She knew it was wrong, yet she still did it!
Police officer: "Mr. Ou, what did they say?"
Ou Yunchen: "They said..."
Ou Yunchen hesitated. Should he tell the police what he saw?
Wouldn't that prove Mo Qingyun's innocence?
Police officer: "Mr. Ou, you'd better think clearly. If you conceal anything about their conversation, you may also be punished."
Ou Yunchen: "They said..."
***
The visiting time ended. Ou Yunchen and Mo Qingyun left in silence until they reached Mo Qingyun's doorstep. The little mute then used sign language...
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "You won't tell the police about my conversation with Xie Youlin, will you?"
Ou Yunchen's heart skipped a beat. Was she suspecting him?!
Ou Yunchen: "Don't go to Yijie Mei. Just let Xie Youlin take all the blame alone, okay?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I have to go because they have news of my brother."
Ou Yunchen: "If you go, you won't be able to extricate yourself..."
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "I'm sorry, I lied to you. I never gave up on finding my brother, so I won't give up on even the slightest hope."
Ou Yunchen: "For a brother you haven't seen in over twenty years, can you really give up on me?"
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Yunchen, do you know how often I think, you are so capable and powerful, why aren't you as good as Xie Youlin? How great it would be if you found my brother for me..."
Ou Yunchen: "Xiao Yun, I..."
Mo Qingyun stood on tiptoe and kissed Ou Yunchen's lips. Then she touched his cheek, smiled, and cried.
Mo Qingyun's sign language: "Help me one more time, okay?"
***
Despite Ou Yunchen's objections, Mo Qingyun insisted on going to meet the people from Yijie Mei.
Ou Yunchen sat beside Uncle Da, silent, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
Uncle Da: "You made the right decision."
Ou Yunchen: "Will they let Mo Qingyun go?"
Uncle Da: "They will. They promised me that as long as Yijie Mei is successfully apprehended, Mo Qingyun can clear her suspicion by assisting in the investigation."
Ou Yunchen stared out the window. Mo Qingyun should be at Yijie Mei's lair by now, and the police were secretly tracking, setting up a net outside, waiting to rush in and make the arrest!
***
Mo Qingyun arrived alone at the agreed location. The people there were extremely cautious, searching her from head to toe before letting her in after confirming she was alone.
Manager: "Give her a pen and paper."
Mo Qingyun wrote down everything Xie Youlin had instructed.
Mo Qingyun continued writing: "What about my brother's whereabouts?"
The manager, who was playing with a small knife, slammed it down on the table upon seeing the words. It pierced a file folder, pinning the paper with Mo Qingyun's writing to it.
Manager: "Here."
As Mo Qingyun stepped forward to take it, a subordinate grabbed her.
Manager: "What's the hurry? It'll be yours sooner or later."
Mo Qingyun was held tightly, and she suddenly felt how terrifying these people were...
Manager: "Xie Youlin is in jail. I'm not at ease. If you take this file and leave, and he implicates us, I need some leverage."
Mo Qingyun looked at the man in front of her with horror. His implication was that he wanted to keep Mo Qingyun by his side.
Manager: "Anyway, a girl like you would do anything to find your brother. So, we're in the same boat. Why don't you be my woman? You look good, and besides being mute, you have all the right parts..."
The manager reached his hand out towards Mo Qingyun. Mo Qingyun kicked him, hitting him squarely in the groin. He clutched his crotch in pain, pointing at Mo Qingyun's face with his other hand and ordering his men to hit her!
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people rushed in. The manager, sensing the situation was bad, grabbed the file and threw it towards the fireplace behind him...
Mo Qingyun watched the bag ignite in the burning fire. She was so anxious she wanted to reach out and grab it. That was her brother's news; it couldn't be lost like this!
Ou Yunchen: "Xiao Yun!!!"
Ou Yunchen, unable to rest easy, had requested to join the operation. Fortunately, he arrived in time, or Mo Qingyun would have suffered greatly!
Mo Qingyun pushed Ou Yunchen hard, her eyes still fixed on the half-burnt file.
Ou Yunchen: "Are you crazy? Don't you want your hands?!"
Mo Qingyun struggled harder, but Ou Yunchen instinctively held her tighter. He also stared intently at the burning file, realizing he couldn't let Mo Qingyun pick it up, in case it was really Axe inside!
Until the file was almost entirely burnt, Mo Qingyun cried in despair...
It was so close! She was so close to knowing where her brother was...
Ou Yunchen: "Xiao Yun, forget it. Perhaps this is fate. Don't look for your brother anymore."
Mo Qingyun glared at Ou Yunchen. She now felt Ou Yunchen was an obstacle to finding her brother!
