Xu Youning was never a person who awaited her doom.
She hid in the corner of the passenger seat and quietly pulled the trigger.
If the people outside broke the glass, their target must be Mu Sijue.
She had to find a perfect timing to help Mu Sijue solve the problem here, for fear that Mu Sijue would get hurt from the both left and right attacks.
Thinking of that, Xu Youning held the gun in her hand tightly. She looked calm, ready to fight.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Two minutes later, with a âbangâ, the car window was smashed.
Almost at the same time, Mu Sijue turned around and pressed Xu Youning down, who got up with the gun. At the same time, he pulled the trigger and killed the two people outside the window.
Xu Youning was pushed down on the passenger seat. Before she could react, Mu Sijue had already firmly held her down and protected her with his own body. With his gun pointed at the outside, he killed everyone who tried to attack them.
âBangââ
âBangââ
The loud noise of guns was endless, but Xu Youning felt that the danger was far away in another world.
She only had Mu Sijue in her world.
She could see Mu Sijueâs chin. At this moment, the tightness along his chin showed his scary coldness and danger.
Mu Sijue was trying his best to protect Xu Youning.
Suddenly, Xu Youning felt a skip in her heart again.
Mu Sijue suddenly said, âGive me your gun.â
Xu Youning reacted quickly and gave her gun to Mu Sijue immediately.
When Mu Sijue changed the gun, a bullet pierced through the cold air in the winter and came with sparks. Mu Sijue subconsciously hugged Xu Youning and lowered his head with her. Finally, the bullet hit the opposite window, bounced back, and landed on the driverâs seat.
If Mu Sijue hadnât reacted fast enough, he would have been shot in the forehead.
Xu Youning seemed to see deathâs hand passing by Mu Sijue.
She subconsciously grabbed him and asked, âHow are you?â
â...â Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning and did not answer.
Xu Youning panicked in an instant. She fumbled on Mu Sijueâs body. âAre you hurt? Where?â
Mu Sijue smiled and asked, âWhat if Iâm really injured?â
Xu Youning grabbed Mu Sijueâs gun, looked as if she could handle it and said, âI can deal with them. Get out of my way!â
She was about to get up when she saw Mu Sijueâs smile spreading to the bottom of his eyes. Then, she found that it was already quiet outside the car.
It should be Mu Sijueâs men who had killed the men of the guy surnamed Liang. The most important thing was that Mu Sijue was actually not injured.
Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief and pushed Mu Sijue. âYou are really bored. Get up!â
Mu Sijue thought of something and no longer pressed on Xu Youning, quickly getting up. Then, he and Xu Youning changed the car.
One of Mu Sijueâs men handed two bottles of water from outside the window and told him, âItâs done. The evidence at the scene will point to Liang Zhong. The police of City A canât find us.â
Mu Sijue unscrewed the cap and said, âFine.â
The man asked, âSeventh Brother, are we still going to Dingya Villas? We have already completed two-thirds of the trip.â
âWeâre almost there. Why not?â Mu Sijue rolled up the window and handed the opened bottle to Xu Youning.
Only then did Xu Youning notice that there was blood on Mu Sijueâs hand. She took his hand and saw a deep scratch on the back of his hand. The cut should have been caused by the glass, and the wound was bleeding.
âIt doesnât matter.â Mu Sijue didnât take the little cut seriously at all.
Xu Youning knew that Mu Sijue was not a delicate person, but she still rummaged through the car and finally found a clean handkerchief, and then she simply bandaged his wound.
After that, Xu Youning said, âLetâs go. I donât know if Liang Zhong will further send his men here. Weâd better not stay here for a long time.â
Mu Sijue looked at the handkerchief around his hand and said, âOkay.â Then he started the car and drove toward Dingya Villas.
Xu Youning observed the surroundings along the way. She did not relax until they entered the villa area, and she asked Mu Sijue, âWho is Liang Zhong? Why did he send people to attack you?â
âDo you still remember those guys yesterday afternoon?â Mu Sijue said, âI made a deal with them, but I kicked Liang Zhong out.â
Xu Youning remembered seeing the manager lead the group of people who had talked with Mu Sijue out at the entrance of the club this morning, but one of them was missing.
Now it seemed that the missing one was Liang Zhong.
She couldnât help asking curiously, âWhy did you just kick Liang Zhong out?â
Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and said frankly, âLiang Zhong is secretly in contact with Kang Ruicheng.â
Xu Youning understood.
Mu Sijue must have emphasized that the group of people were not allowed to have any relationship with Kang Ruicheng once they cooperated with him. However, Liang Zhong played a double game, and he wanted to do business with both Mu Sijue and Kang Ruicheng.
Liang Zhong obviously did not expect that he couldnât hide it from Mu Sijue.
Xu Youning finally knew why Mu Sijue had asked her to hide just now. If Liang Zhong found her, he would definitely tell Kang Ruicheng that, and Kang Ruicheng would not miss this opportunity to take her back. Thus, there would be another bloody fight.
However, Mu Sijue hid her, so Liang Zhong had no chance to see her.
Mu Sijue really did not give her any chance to escape.
Xu Youning changed the topic. âWill Liang Zhong further retaliate against you?â
Mu Sijue controlled the steering wheel skillfully. âWith me, what are you afraid of?â
â...â Xu Youning had no way to refute.
The car soon arrived at Dingya Villas and stopped in front of Lu Boyanâs house.
Honestly, Xu Youning felt a little guilty.
When she had been with Mu Sijue, she had stolen the secret documents of Lu Enterprises for Kang Ruicheng, which almost led to Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan to divorce. At that time, Su Jianâan was just pregnant.
Although Su Jianâan had said that she never blamed her, she had never forgiven herself.
Besides, Lu Boyanâs... was not easy to deal with.
Mu Sijue was about to get off the car when he suddenly found that Xu Youning sat still. He turned his head and saw her holding the seat belt, lost in thought in the passenger seat.
He said, âGet off the car.â
Xu Youning came to her senses and got off the car after Mu Sijue, just to see Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan coming out of the house.
She had seen Lu Boyan a few times, and every time she saw him, she was greatly amazed.
Lu Boyanâs facial features seemed to be designed by the Creator with her greatest efforts, and even the smallest details were perfect. He and Su Jianâan walked together, and they were simply a perfect couple.
The lights in the garden were bright, shining on Lu Boyan and Su Jianâan. Xu Youning felt that they seemed to be shining.
Lu Boyan asked Mu Sijue from afar, âHow is it?â
Mu Sijue closed the door and said, âIâm fine.â
Lu Boyan glanced at Xu Youning and asked, âWhereâs Liang Zhong?â
Mu Sijue knew Lu Boyan was worried that Liang Zhong would reveal Xu Youning was in the Summit Clubhouse if Liang Zhong secretly contacted Kang Ruicheng.
He said lightly, âDonât worry.â
Lu Boyan knew that Mu Sijueâs words meant that he had solved the problem, so he nodded calmly.
Su Jianâan did not realize that the conversation between the two men was meaningful. She went straight to Xu Youning and said, âI heard about what happened on your way here.â
âIâm fine.â Xu Youning gave Su Jianâan a reassuring look. âIâm not injured.â
âThatâs good.â Su Jianâan said, âLetâs talk inside.â
Xu Youning nodded and walked with Su Jianâan in the lead. From time to time, she looked back at the two men behind her with hesitation.
Su Jianâan asked Xu Youning directly, âDo you want to tell me something?â
Xu Youning was no longer hesitant and said directly, âMu Sijue is injured.â
As soon as they entered the door, Su Jianâan directly called Aunt Liu and asked her to fetch the first-aid kit.
Xu Youning looked at Su Jianâan in a daze. âHow did you know I wanted a first-aid kit?â
Su Jianâan smiled. âWhen Boyan is injured, my first reaction is to help him treat the wound. Itâs nothing strange.â
Aunt Liu quickly handed the first-aid kit to Xu Youning.
At this time, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue just entered.
Su Jianâan walked over and took Lu Boyanâs hand. âCome up with me.â
On the second floor, Lu Boyan wrapped his arms around Su Jianâanâs waist. âWhatâs the matter?â
Su Jianâan looked downstairs and said, âYouning is going to treat Sijueâs wound. We should be more sensible and not be third wheels. Letâs go to see Xiyu and Xiangyi.â
Lu Boyan smiled, held Su Jianâanâs hand, and took her into the childrenâs room to see the two little guys.
In the living room downstairs, there were only Mu Sijue and Xu Youning.
Mu Sijue could tell that Su Jianâan had deliberately pulled Lu Boyan upstairs. He looked at Xu Youning and asked, âWhat did you say to Jianâan?â
Xu Youning didnât bother to explain. She pulled Mu Sijue to sit down and opened the first-aid kit.
Mu Sijue understood something, and instantly became happy, with a faint smile on his face.
Xu Youning could not help complaining, âIs it so funny?â
âNo.â Mu Sijue seemed to be thinking about something. âI just found that itâs necessary to deal with the small wound.â
In the early years, he almost had to experience a shower of bullets every few days. He had never cared about several large or small surgical scars on his body.
In terms of this kind of light cut, he would at most wash away the blood with water and wait for the wound to heal itself.
However, since Xu Youning was so nervous about the wound, it seemed necessary for her to deal with it.
âChildish, no matter how large the wound is, it has to be dealt with!â
Xu Youning first helped Mu Sijue with the sterilization, then applied anti-inflammatory drugs, and finally bandaged his wound.
Mu Sijue looked at her skillful treatment and suddenly asked, âHow many times have you treated your own wounds?â
Xu Youning was stunned. She cut off the bandage and said, âI canât remember.â
After the devil training finished, when she began to work for Kang Ruicheng, she often got injured. She had treated her wounds countless times, and that was why she was so skilled today.
However, no one had ever asked her about it.
Mu Sijue could imagine that countless healed wounds underlay her skillful treatment. Did it mean that he really cared about her?
If it were someone else, would Mu Sijue be so attentive?
Maybe not. Such persons as Mu Sijue were more adept at dealing with people. He rarely cared about people.
However, it was natural for him to care about her.
What should she do?
Suddenly, she wanted to stay with Mu Sijue for the rest of her life...
