âI want to see you.â
These five words were like a soft fist, slamming into Xu Youningâs heart.
Instantly, Xu Youningâs heart melted and she almost cried on the phone.
However, she could not be so emotional.
She still had something very important to do. She could not reveal her feelings like this.
Xu Youning took a deep breath and pretended not to have heard this remark. She directly continued, âTell Shen Yuechuan that Kang Ruicheng wants to kidnap Yunyun.â
As if he had not heard Xu Youningâs words, Mu Sijue asked, âWhat?â
Xu Youning thought that the signal in the old city was not good, so she repeated it clearly. âKang Ruicheng wants to kidnap Yunyun!â
âI canât hear you clearly.â Mu Sijueâs voice sounded leisurely.
Xu Youning finally understood. âMu Sijue, are you doing this deliberately?â
Mu Sijue laughed and said, âYep, so what?â
âYou... youâre so childish!â Xu Youning was so furious that she felt like climbing out of Mu Sijueâs phone and beating him up.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue did not deny it. Instead, he asked, âWill you come to see me if I admit that I am childish?â
â...â Xu Youning suppressed her anger. âIâll say it again. Tell Shen Yuechuan to protect Yunyun. Kang Ruicheng doesnât intend to let her go!â
Mu Sijueâs voice became cold and aloof again. âWhy are you telling us this?â
â...â Xu Youning was speechless for a while.
Mu Sijue did not intend to let Xu Youning go. He urged her leisurely, âXu Youning, answer me.â
He said this in a very confident tone as if he had already guessed the answer, but he had to hear Xu Youning saying it out loud.
In a trance, Xu Youning thought that Mu Sijue had discovered her secret.
She could not expose herself any longer. Otherwise, Mu Sijue might really find out the real purpose of her returning to Kang Ruicheng.
âI donât want to see Yunyun getting injured.â Xu Youning said firmly, âMu Sijue, I did it for Yunyun. It has nothing to do with you.â
âReally?â Mu Sijue said with a sneer, âXu Youning, donât let me find out youâre lying.â
Xu Youning held her breath and hung up.
She covered her chest with her hand, only to find that her heart was beating faster than before.
âDamn it, Mu Sijue isnât a charm, but a curse!â
Xu Youning rushed into the bathroom, washed her face with cold water and finally calmed down.
She dried her hands, deleted the call record and leisurely went downstairs.
Ah Jin was sitting on the carpet in the living room and fighting intensely with Mumu in the game.
Xu Youning walked over and quietly slipped the phone back into Ah Jinâs pocket, saying, âIâll accompany Mumu now. Go and do your work.â
âOkay.â Ah Jin handed the gamepad to Xu Youning. âThen Iâm leaving.â
Xu Youning smiled and continued playing games with Mumu as if nothing had happened. It was not until Ah Jin stepped out of the door that she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
Ah Jin didnât seem to notice anything unusual.
Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Mumu cheered, pointed at the LCD screen and said, âAuntie Youning, I won!â
âAgain.â Xu Youning adjusted her sitting posture and looked at Mumu. âIâll defeat you this time.â
âHumph!â Mumu raised his chin. âIâm not afraid. Letâs begin!â
In the living room of the Kang familyâs old residence, a new round of fighting quietly began.
In the villa area tens of kilometers away, Mu Sijue put down his mobile phone, with a smile on his lips.
Perhaps, Su Jianâan was right. The reason why Xu Youning went back was not that she believed in Kang Ruicheng. On the contrary, she knew who killed Granny Xu.
In this case, the arrangements he had made at present were all right.
Next, all he had to do was to force Kang Ruicheng into a corner and ask the latter to send Xu Youning back.
He dialed Shen Yuechuanâs number and told him what Xu Youning had said.
Mu Sijue had long warned him about it, so Shen Yuechuan was not surprised. Instead, he was curious about another thing. âHow could Xu Youning dare to contact you from Kang Ruichengâs house?â
âShe used Ah Jinâs phone.â Mu Sijue thought for a moment and said, âAh Jin probably didnât know about it.â
Shen Yuechuan frowned. âDid you expose Ah Jinâs identity when you answered the phone?â
â...â Mu Sijue didnât want to answer such a stupid question and he turned to ask, âHow many people shall I send?â
Shen Yuechuan was a patient. It was unrealistic to rely on him to protect Xiao Yunyun.
However, Mu Sijue had a lot of men under his command.
âBoyan has arranged for someone to come over and live downstairs with Song Jiqing. Yunyun is very safe now.â Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, âYou... youâd better worry about Xu Youning.â
Mu Sijue openly accepted Shen Yuechuanâs teasing. âSince itâs none of my business, Iâll hang up.â
Gaging from Mu Sijueâs tone, it seemed that he was in a good mood.
While Shen Yuechuan was still surprised, he heard Xiao Yunyunâs cry from the bedroom.
He put down his phone and walked into the bedroom. âYunyun, whatâs the matter?â
âThe fortune bag that my parents left to me!â Xiao Yunyun poured out everything in the bag. âI remember that I put it in the bag. Why is it missing?â
Shen Yuechuan went over and held Xiao Yunyunâs hand. âDonât look for it.â
âNo, itâs very important. I must find it.â Xiao Yunyunâs delicate brows furrowed due to her anxiety. After a while, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan in surprise. âDid you put it away?â
âYeah.â Shen Yuechuan tried his best to divert Xiao Yunyunâs attention. âYou often use this bag. Iâm afraid that youâll lose the fortune bag, so I put it away for you.â
The more Xiao Yunyun thought about it, the more confused she became. âWhy didnât you tell me? Where did you put it?â
â...â
Shen Yuechuan was in a dilemma.
If he told the truth, he would have to tell her about her parentsâ identity, as well as the dangers that she was currently facing.
However, he didnât want her to live in fear.
In order to safeguard Xiao Yunyunâs happiness, he arranged for the people sent by Lu Boyan to live downstairs.
âWhy do you have so many questions?â
Shen Yuechuan frowned, held Xiao Yunyunâs face and kissed her on the lips. He didnât answer her question and stopped her from saying what she planned to say next.
âUhh...â
Xiao Yunyun didnât respond for a moment. She took a few steps back and fell on the bed. Shen Yuechuanâs slender body pressed down on her.
She blinked and looked at Shen Yuechuan helplessly, forgetting about the fortune bag. Her mind was only filled with Shen Yuechuanâs warm and sexy lips and his firm and warm chest...
Thinking of that, Xiao Yunyun could not help swallowing hard.
Shen Yuechuan was amused and teased her. âWhat are you thinking about?â
Xiao Yunyun blurted out, âAbout you.â
When she realized that the answer was too blunt, Shen Yuechuan was already smiling at her. He looked at her and said, âDonât think about me. Iâm here.â
His voice was low and sexy, like a kind of drug that could make people intoxicated. Xiao Yunyun was so dazed that she heard only half of what he said. She closed her eyes subconsciously and waited for something.
Shen Yuechuan looked at the girlâs obedient and expectant look, and the last string of control in his brain suddenly snapped. He kissed her passionately.
After a long intimate session, both of them forgot about the fortune bag.
Shen Yuechuan stroked Xiao Yunyunâs face and said, âI have to go to the company.â
Xiao Yunyun pursed her red and plump lips. âCan I go with you?â
It was true that bringing Xiao Yunyun along with him was the best way to protect her.
âOf course.â Shen Yuechuan got up and also pulled Xiao Yunyun up. âLetâs go.â
When they went downstairs, Xiao Yunyun found that there were several people following them. They were all young men in their 20s and 30s, dressed in lightweight black clothes and black pants, as well as cool camouflage boots. It seemed that they knew Shen Yuechuan.
Xiao Yunyun held back her doubts. After getting in the car, she continued to observe and found that those people were driving behind them.
She poked Shen Yuechuan and asked, âWho are they?â
âBodyguards.â Shen Yuechuan said briefly, âThey will follow us whenever we go out in the future.â
âWell, cool!â Xiao Yunyun was excited and immediately, she asked in confusion, âBut, do we need bodyguards?â
âFor the sake of safety, no matter if we need them or not, they will follow you in the future.â Shen Yuechuan knocked Xiao Yunyun on the head. âGet used to it. Donât think about shaking them off.â
Xiao Yunyun reluctantly said, âOK.â
When they arrived at the company, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun came across several old shareholders. Shen Yuechuan introduced Xiao Yunyun to them out of courtesy. âMy girlfriend.â
âWell.â The old shareholders nodded with a smile. âWe all know her.â
Xiao Yunyun was surprised for a moment and then realized that the gossip about herself and Shen Yuechuan had once been a hot topic. Not to mention the shareholders, she was sure that there was no one in the whole Lu Enterprises who did not know her.
It had been a totally wrong decision for her to go to the company with Shen Yuechuan!
She decisively held Shen Yuechuanâs hand.
Shen Yuechuan looked back in confusion. âWhatâs the matter?â
âIâm not going up.â Xiao Yunyun said, âI want to go back to the apartment!â
Shen Yuechuan saw through Xiao Yunyunâs fear at a glance. He pulled her into the elevator and said, âYou stay in my office and you wonât run into anyone else.â
It seemed very safe there.
Xiao Yunyun bit her lip, nodded reluctantly and followed Shen Yuechuan upstairs.
As soon as they entered the office, the telephone on Shen Yuechuanâs desk rang, followed by Lu Boyanâs voice.
âYuechuan, come to my office.â
âOkay.â Shen Yuechuan hung up and turned to give Xiao Yunyun a kiss. âWait for me to come back.â
Xiao Yunyun nodded obediently and strolled around Shen Yuechuanâs office, observing his daily work environment.
Outside, Shen Yuechuan directly pushed open the door of the presidentâs office and went in to ask, âWhy are you in such a hurry to see me?â
âCome here.â Lu Boyan said, âItâs a call from Mu Qi.â
Shen Yuechuan thought of something and tapped on the phone with interest. âMu Qi, did you find something?â
âThere is indeed a clue in the fortune bag left by Yunyunâs parents,â Mu Sijue said.
âWhat clue?â Shen Yuechuan asked, âIs it the address of the Kang familyâs base or the map?â
âIâm not sure for now.â Mu Sijue said, âThat jade bead was made through a casting process and thereâs a memory card hidden in it. But after so long, the memory card is damaged. We can only know what the contents are after it has been repaired.â
Lu Boyan said, âIt should not be difficult for you to repair the memory card.â
âYes,â Mu Sijue said, âYuechuan, help me prepare some things and send them to my villa. I need them to repair the memory card.â
âYou go directly to Dui Fangâs studio. He has everything there and he can also be your assistant.â After a pause, Shen Yuechuan added, âBut, do you need to keep your trip a secret? If Kang Ruicheng finds out your trip to Dui Fangâs studio, he can basically guess that you are trying to find the clues.â
âThereâs no need to keep it a secret.â Mu Sijue said leisurely, âLet Kang Ruicheng know. The more detailed, the better.â
