Earlier, Sara had left the house to go visit Muchen.

There were a lot of things she wanted to tell him but the distractions had been too much so she decided that it was best they spoke now.

They would have met outside but what they were planning was not something they could be so open about. Besides, their relationship was not yet out in the open. The invites would only be sent to those they wanted to invite and if the world cared, they would find out about the wedding after they were done with it.

Thankfully, they both did not have to run around for their wedding preparation. Her mother and Muchen's mother (who she believed was still handling it) were taking care of those things for them.

How nice it was to have a mother. She never would have imagined that a day like this would come.

She had been planning to call Medusa after telling Muchen about her findings. But to her surprise, Medusa had called her first to fix a meeting with her for that evening.

When Sara entered Muchen's apartment, the first person she saw was Minde, walking as if he was in a daze.

When he saw her, he stopped in front of her to ask without saying an 'hello'.

"Sister-in-law, do you....do you think I am fit to be a director?" He asked her in a very low and less confident voice.

"Of course. Is there a Li who is not fit to be a director?" She asked back with a raised brow.

"Big bro..just asked me to be a director. Does it mean I would finally be useful?" He asked like a child that was not sure about himself.

Sara laughed before tapping his shoulder. "Were you ever useless? You were only a bit lazy and probably not good with other sectors if it does not require gathering information. I hope you become as hardworking as your brother and cousin from now on. Congratulations Li Minde." She said with a proud smile.

Minde had never thought in his life that Sara's words would bring tears to his eyes.

He did not know what he was thinking before he pulled her into a hug and began to cry on her shoulder.

Sara just stood stiffly and hugged him back awkwardly as she silently prayed for Muchen not to witness this scene.

If Muchen had offered him this job a few days back, he probably would have declined. But now, he was beginning to see things differently.

He wanted to be independent, responsible, and he wanted to make his family proud.

"I am sorry for seeing you as Chucky in my dream" He cried and apologized.

"Bro? What are you doing?" Heya gasped in shock from upstairs when she saw Minde hugging Sara.

Before they knew it, she disappeared out of sight while hurrying towards Muchen's study's door shouting

"Big bro come see what bro Minde is doing with your woman downstairs."

Minde did not hear her clearly but an incoming call from Muchen made him break away from the hug quickly.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" He heard Muchen's gentle but deadly voice immediately he took the call and threw away his phone in shock.

He was suddenly reminded that Muchen always saw whatever was going on inside and outside his house.

He knew he could not continue being emotional because Muchen would really kill him so he quickly picked up his phone and took off, leaving Sara puzzled.

--

"Is he crazy? He just left this study a few minutes back. If he was looking for a shoulder to cry on, did he not see mine?" Muchen complained unhappily before hugging her.

"Why do you always allow men hug you? First it was that Bilike boy and now Minde? I just hope you don't hug others when I am not around."

"I just could not push him away." Sara said with a laugh.

"Besides, I was happy he was finally talking to me. Before, he was either glaring at me or looking at me like I am a devil"

"Next time push him away. I don't know why I even asked him to manage CLASH-TECH. None of these would have happened if I had not asked him to do it."

"It's okay. And thank you for doing that for him. You are a really good brother and I love you"

Muchen finally smiled when he heard her words.

He nodded and finally let go of her as they moved to real business.

"So Medusa called you?"

Sara nodded. "She wanted to meet up tonight."

"Hope you turned her down nicely?" He asked as he began to scroll through the iPad.

When he noticed Sara was still quiet, he raised his head to look at her.

"Oh God. You agreed to meet her?"

"I had to. I planned to call her even. We need to handle this as quickly as possible."

As she continued to explaine, Muchen stood up and began to pace around. She also stood up and followed him with the hope that he would listen to her and see that she was doing the right thing.

"That woman is dangerous. How could you just agree to meet her like that without telling me about it first?"

"She would not cause me harm."

"Really? You are sure she wouldn't?" Muchen raised his voice. Was Sara really thinking that Medusa would just call her out to have a drink with her?

Sara paused since she was not also sure.

"Please don't be mad." She held his arm and looked up at him sadly.

She could see how angry he looked currently. She had never seen him act like that. Plus he was also raising his voice which he had never done before.

"Sorry I yelled." He cupped her cheeks and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"I am sorry. Come" He led her back to the couch and once they sat down, he showed her the iPad.

"I got this information from Minde. Trust that it is reliable." He explained.

As Sara went through it, she saw that Medusa's name had once been Han Ruoxi.

She had a brother named Han Ru. They both knew that Han Ru guy was Fuji.

She was formally married to one Jiang Tao and on several cases, she had made reports to the police station on domestic violence. Until one day when her husband suddenly disappeared.

Sara stopped when she got to that part. She studied the man's photo over and over again.

"Something wrong?" Muchen asked when he noticed she was just staring at her ex-husband's picture.

"It's him." She said in a low voice.

Memories of the past flashed immediately she said those words and she began to remember how she had ran for her dear life after witnessing Medusa kill a man.

"Sara..Sara." Muchen shook her back to reality when he noticed how fast she was breathing with her eyes staring blankly into space.

Sara looked at him and after a minute, her eyeballs finally focused on him.

"She killed him. She stabbed him to death. I saw her do it." Sara said in a whisper.

As much as Muchen did not want her to continue remembering about that incident, he knew she had to. This was the only way they could easily get rid of Medusa.

"Good." He smiled.

"Something else to nail her for."

Muchen showed her a document which showed that 'Han Ruoxi' died eight years ago in a car crash. But there were new records of some illegal transactions that were carried out under the name 'Han Ruoxi' even till last year.

"Even tonight, they would be receiving some goods." He informed her.

"How did you know that? I mean... They are good in covering their tracks"

"Sweetheart, don't underestimate Minde. Apart from him, I also have skilled people who can hack into any database."

"Wow. I want to learn hacking too." She said excitedly which caused him to laugh.

"I'll teach you one day. But now, you need to know that Medusa does not only support the Blacks. There are a whole lot of other groups she supports. So you should be wary of her." He advised.

"No wonder almost everyone now knows about the Jin family when they had been almost nonexistent. But do you think the police would be able to do anything to them once we make a report?"

Sara asked curiously since she knew people like that always had their ways and most times, even the police were a part of their illegal activities.

"Who says I was going to involve the police in this?"

"Then...?" She pushed inquisitively.

"I only work directly with the Army General." He said with a smile before patting her head.

When they were done with Medusa's case, they moved unto the next.

"Have you heard anything about Mo Jinyong?" She asked him.

"I have not. Why?"

"I just feel weird about it. He's been too quiet for long."

"What do you mean?" It was his turn to ask her curiously.

Sara began to explain everything that happened that night and how he had sent some men to come get her. And in the end, she had fought with them.

She noticed the room's temperature suddenly turned chilly once she was done narrating.

Li Muchen was angry!

"Okay." Was the only word he said after her long narration.

Sara was not dumb. She knew that was not just a simple 'okay'. But she did not want to push him to tell her anything. He was going to be her husband. And he was going to take care of every fly that bugged his wife.

They both had a long conversation. Anything they had both been keeping in their minds, they let it out.

He also told her about Delight's Park Chen and how he contributed to her grandparents' misfortune.

That part had really broken her down greatly because she had actually liked the man. He must have been so thick-skinned to the point where he did not feel guilty while talking to her.

So was that the reason why he had asked her father to come work there because he felt guilty? She asked herself.

"I probably should tell my family about it. We cannot just let him go freely."

"Anything you decide." Muchen agreed with her wholeheartedly.

"So...is there anything else you'd like to tell me?" She asked as she prepared to leave.

"Yes. I don't know why it's still difficult to forgive you whenever I remember how you followed Mo Dexi to his father's birthday instead of going with me."

He said with a pout which caused Sara to laugh despite her being sad just now.

"You also spoke with those heiresses and I was almost blackmailed because of you."

"I knew about that. And I punished Guan Lanbi for making you angry." He said with an amused grin.

Sara looked at him with wide eyes.

How did he know about it?

So he had punished Guan Lanbi?

Was that probably the reason why she had sent some thugs to her but Fuji had stopped it?

She could not believe she was at the centre of all these.
