“Brother?” Cheng Che called out tentatively.

Mu Chen opened his eyes and asked, “Cheng Che, do you think it’s possible to check all the surveillance cameras on all floors that day?”

Cheng Che shook his head gently. “No. In the damage report that the hospital gave me, the security room suffered the most damage…”

The two of them looked at each other as a question formed in their minds: why was it so coincidental that the security room suffered the most damage from the fire?

The fire started from the storeroom, but why did the security room suffer the most damage?

Cheng Che’s voice trembled as he asked, “B-brother, does this mean that someone committed arson?”

Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che silently. Then, he said mechanically, “From the time you went downstairs to the time I went upstairs, they had enough time to switch Song Ning for another person. They didn’t even need to rush…”

Cheng Che felt his hair standing on end. He asked, confused, “Brother, who’s the mastermind? What’s his or her purpose? Why?”

If their target was Mu Chen, would it not be easier to kill Mu Chen directly. Why was there a need to go to such lengths to switch out Song Ning for another person?

Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che. “Why? Only that woman will know…”

Cheng Che shook his head. “This isn’t something a woman can accomplish on her own. Moreover, don’t you think that woman’s resemblance to sister-in-law is too uncanny? They look so alike that even… Grandma couldn’t tell the difference…”

In fact, Cheng Che wanted to say that the two women resembled each other so much that even Mu Chen could not tell the difference in the beginning, but he forcefully changed his words at the last minute. After all, Mu Chen was already in excruciating pain; it was best not to agitate Mu Chen any further.

After a moment, Cheng Che thought of a crucial question. “Brother, should we tell Grandma about this?”

Mu Chen said lightly, “Grandma has already noticed it. I got angry at that woman this morning. Grandma came up to me and told me to think about this matter. That’s why I called you here; two heads are better than one after all. I’ve been recalling the scenes from that day over and over again. I couldn’t figure out where the problem was earlier. However, now I can confirm something must have happened between that time that you left and before I arrived…”

Even now Cheng Che was still in shock and disbelief.

Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che and said, “Cheng Che, you must control your emotions. It’s important that you don’t let your suspicions show. If you think you’re capable of this, I’ll entrust a task to you…”

Cheng Che straightened his back and asked, “Brother, what is it? I’ll do my best.”

Mu Chen knew Cheng Che very well. Cheng Che was not one who could stay idle. The best way was to entrust Cheng Che with a task.

“Find the real Song Ning. No matter what, you must find her. If she’s alive, you must bring her back safely. If she’s… If she’s not…” Mu Chen had difficulty finishing his words. Every word felt like a stab to his heart. After a moment, he continued to say, “If she’s not, we still have to find her. Alive or not, she’s a member of the Mu family.”

Mu Chen turned his head to the side after he finished speaking. Tears rolled down his face onto his shoulder. Saying those words had taken a lot out of him.

Cheng Che’s mind began to race. ‘That’s right. The person at home is an impostor. Then, where’s sister-in-law?’

After a moment, Cheng Che said determinedly, “Brother, don’t worry. I’ll find her! Even if I have to go without rest, I’ll definitely find her.”

Cheng Che felt his blood boiling when he thought about the various things that had happened.

Mu Chen slowly rose to his feet. He placed a hand on Cheng Che’s shoulder. “Cheng Che…”

Mu Chen could not continue speaking.

Cheng Che stood up and hugged Mu Chen. “Brother, don’t worry. I’ll definitely find sister-in-law. You and Grandma are the strongest people I know. Keep that person distracted while I search for sister-in-law.. Sister Yu has said that sister-in-law is a blessing to our family. Nothing will happen to her; she’ll definitely be fine!”
