Mu Sijue left the mountaintop and rushed directly to the municipal police station.
In the monitoring room, the police chief and Lu Boyan were still searching for Kang Ruicheng through the road surveillance video
They tried their best, but in the end, the police officer still shook his head helplessly. âMr. Lu, the person you are looking for should have turned to take another car by exploiting the blind spot of the monitored area. We canât find out his whereabouts.â
Kang Ruicheng had planned it for a long time. It would only be a waste of both time and affection if they continued the search, so Lu Boyan chose to give up.
Seeing this, the police chief said, âBoyan, letâs go to my office. We need to find another way.â
When Lu Boyan and the chief entered the office, Mu Sijue just arrived.
As soon as Mu Sijue came in, he asked directly, âHow is it?â
âWe canât find Kang Ruicheng.â Lu Boyanâs voice was still calm. âWhere is the person that Ah Guang brought back?â
Mu Sijue said, âAh Guang is watching her.â
At this time, the chief interrupted them and asked, âBoyan, do you really not need a public investigation?â
âNot now.â Lu Boyan said, âIâll call you if I need your help.â
âOkay, for the record, feel free to contact me.â The chief said, âYour father was killed by the Kang family. We canât let the same thing happen to your mother.â
Lu Boyan nodded and motioned for the chief to rest assured. Then, he and Mu Sijue left the police station and got into the same car.
As soon as he fastened his seat belt, Lu Boyan said, âContact Kang Ruicheng.â
Mu Sijue directly dialed Kang Ruichengâs number, put the phone on speaker, and placed it on the small mobile table.
Kang Ruicheng soon picked up the phone, laughed, and asked, âDo you like the surprise I sent to you?â
âKang Ruicheng,â Mu Sijue said in a gloomy voice as if a storm was brewing. âYou didnât return Aunt Zhou to me.â
âThatâs why I said it was a surprise.â Kang Ruicheng said slowly, âI did not intend to send Mrs. Zhou back from the very beginning. But I guessed that you should be very anxious, so I tried to move ahead with the deal, and you really agreed.â
Mu Sijueâs voice slowly tensed up. âWhat do you want?â
âI want Youning,â Kang Ruicheng blurted out. âAs long as Youning comes back, I will send the two old ladies back. I wonât stop torturing them until she comes back. Mu Sijue, itâs up to you.â
Mu Sijue hung up the phone and looked at Lu Boyan. âWhat should we do next?â
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and said, âLetâs first go to see the old lady that Ah Guang brought back. Maybe we can elicit something from her.â
Some time ago, Mu Sijue had bought an office building in the CBD, and Ah Guang had sent the old lady who was disguised as Aunt Zhou there.
Ah Guang asked someone to search the old lady so as to make sure that there was nothing threatening on her body. He did not make things difficult for her but told her to sit down and asked a few questions.
The old lady had been trembling in fear and did not say anything useful.
When Ah Guang was about to lose his temper, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue arrived.
âSeventh Brother, Mr. Lu.â Ah Guang pointed to the old woman sitting on the sofa and said, âShe is the old lady disguised as Aunt Zhou.â
Lu Boyan walked up to the old woman and asked directly, âWhere did Kang Ruicheng do your makeup?â
Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue both had an aura of aggression. When they appeared together, even the atmosphere in the entire office building became tense.
The old lady was already afraid, and now she was even more nervous. She said in a trembling voice, âThis morning, a gang of people suddenly came to my house and ordered me to disguise myself as an old woman. Otherwise, they warned that they would kill my son.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The old lady cried as she spoke. âI canât let my son get hurt. Besides, the leader is my sonâs boss. I could only listen to them. I really donât know what happened, nor do I know who I was disguised as. Didnât that young man just ask these questions?â
Ah Guang admitted it. âMr. Lu, Iâve asked all these questions.â
Lu Boyan pondered for a moment and said, âLet her go.â
Although Ah Guang was surprised, he would never doubt Lu Boyan and Kang Ruicheng. He gave his men a look and said, âSend the old lady away.â
The other subordinates knew their place and left.
Ah Guang then asked, âMr. Lu, why did you let her go so easily?â
Lu Boyan calmly explained, âThe old lady is not lying, and she doesnât know any valuable information. Also, she canât be our bargain chip, so there is no need for us to make things difficult for an old lady.â
Ah Guang nodded and diverted his attention from the old lady. Then he asked, âWhat should we do next?â
âContinue the search. Even if you canât search for them, you have to cause some trouble to him. If we piss Kang Ruicheng off, maybe he will reveal something.â Lu Boyan took a look at Mu Sijue and continued, âSijue, letâs go to my company. I need to contact someone.â
When Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue were on the way to the company, Kang Ruicheng and Mumu were also on their way home.
Kang Ruicheng put away his mobile phone, with a triumphant smile on his face. It made him look gloomy and happy.
However, Mumuâs eyes were red, and he looked at Kang Ruicheng with great dissatisfaction.
âAll right.â Kang Ruicheng gave Mumu a rarely gentle look and said, âIâll take you home.â He reached out his hand and wanted to touch Mumuâs head.
Mumu suddenly burst into tears. He dodged and patted Kang Ruicheng on his hand with a look of resistance.
Kang Ruichengâs expression changed. âMumu?â It was a warning with a hint of anger in it.
Mumu ignored Kang Ruichengâs displeasure, turned to look out of the window, and rolled down the window.
For people like Kang Ruicheng, personal safety was always the first priority. Especially when he was outside, the first rule was never to open the window.
Opening the window meant that someone would be given a chance to shoot him, and he could be dead at any time.
Regardless of whether Mumu knew this rule or not, he would not allow him to break the rule. There was no exception, even if Mumu was his son!
Kang Ruicheng held Mumu in his arms, immediately closed the window, and shouted at him, âWhat are you doing!?â
Not to mention Mumu, even the driver in the driverâs seat was startled by his shouting.
Mumu was shocked and looked at Kang Ruicheng in a daze. Then, he completely lost control of his tears. He cried out loudly and struggled with all fours. âLet me go. I donât want to be with you. Let me go!â
Kang Ruicheng was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently. âWho do you want to be with?!â
âItâs not you anyway. I hate you!â Mumu cried hysterically. âI donât want you to be my daddy. Let me go, let me go!â
The malice in Kang Ruichengâs eyes became more intense. He suddenly grabbed Mumu hard with his hands as tough as iron bars. âI am warning you. Donât move!â
Dongzi, who was in the passenger seat, turned around and explained to Mumu, âMumu, we will be in danger if you roll down the window. Daddy did that for your safety. Donât cry. Letâs go home.â
âWhy didnât you send Granny Zhou back!â Mumu finally shouted. âYou obviously promised Uncle Mu that as long as I went home, you would send Granny Zhou back. You broke your promise. I hate you!â
âWhat did you call Mu Sijue?â Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu gloomily and emphasized in an imperative manner, âMumu, you canât call Mu Sijue uncle!â
Mumu was so angry that he could not speak Mandarin fluently. Subconsciously, he said in English, âWe are talking about Granny Zhou. Donât change the subject. I wonât talk to you about that!â
âDo you really want that old lady surnamed Zhou to go back?â Kang Ruicheng knew Mumu more or less. He soon guessed something and asked, âDo you like that old lady very much?â
â...â Mumu wiped away his tears and did not say anything.
Kang Ruicheng understood that Mumu had tacitly admitted it.
He laughed and said, âSince you like her so much, isnât it better for you to let her stay here so that she can accompany you?â
Mumuâs eyes lit up. He stared at Kang Ruicheng and said, âI heard you. You said that you would ask Granny Zhou to accompany me.â
Kang Ruicheng said, âAs long as you stop crying, I can promise you anything.â
Mumu wiped away his tears and said, âI still need Granny Tang to accompany me!â
âTang Yulan?â Kang Ruicheng was a little confused. âYou also know her?â
Kang Ruicheng did not know what exactly had happened to Mumu when he was away from him, nor did he know if he had seen Tang Yulan.
âYes!â Mumu looked innocent. âGranny Tang is the babiesâ grandmother. I like Granny Tang the way I like Granny Zhou!â
Kang Ruicheng did not doubt Mumuâs words. He nodded and said inductively, âIf you want Granny Tang to accompany you, you need to answer a few questions.â
Mumu blinked and said, âQuestions? Are they very difficult?â
âNo.â Kang Ruicheng asked, âHave you heard Auntie Youning talk about where you lived when you were with her?â
Mumu shook his head. âNo.â
Kang Ruicheng frowned and asked further, âThen where did you live?â
âThe house I lived with Auntie Youning is like my house in Country A!â Mumu said, âThose houses are built separately. Auntie Youning and Auntie Jianâan live in different houses, and there is a garden before the house.â
Mumu was talking about the villa.
Kang Ruicheng first thought of the villa area.
Could it be that Mu Sijue and Xu Youning were actually in Dingya Villas?
Kang Ruicheng asked further for confirmation, âMumu, do you remember anything else?â
âItâs so cool there!â Mumu said, âWe can even park the helicopter!â
In Dingya Villas, there was indeed a private helistop.
Kang Ruicheng vaguely saw the hope and continued to ask, âWhat else?â
âNothing.â Mumu spread out his hands and said innocently, âI could only stay in Auntie Youningâs house or Auntie Jianâanâs house. I donât know anything else.â
âYou replied very well.â Kang Ruicheng said, âIâll find a way to get Auntie Youning back.â
Mumu compressed his lips and did not say anything.
He did not tell Daddy that Auntie Youning had asked him to give those answers.
He knew that Auntie Youning and Auntie Jianâan actually lived on the top of a mountain.
However, if he told his daddy the truth, his daddy would bring Auntie Youning back. If so, Auntie Youning and her baby would be in danger.
He had to protect Auntie Youningâs baby and Auntie Jianâanâs babies.
Therefore, he had to lie.
