Mu Sijue remembered very clearly that Xu Youning had felt uncomfortable more than once.
The first time was when Xu Youning fainted in the villa.
The second time, when Xu Youning stayed in the car, her face suddenly turned very pale.
He was about to take Xu Youning to have a checkup, but she jumped out of the car and returned to the Kang family.
Later, he set a trap for Xu Youning and made her stay with him.
He had asked Xu Youning why it happened. Xu Youning said that it was because she was pregnant.
Being both shocked and ecstatic, Mu Sijue firmly believed Xu Youningâs words, and he did not ask further about her discomfort.
Thinking about it now, Xu Youningâs words at that time did not explain her abnormality at all.
He first found that something was wrong with Xu Youning when she was newly pregnant.
Xu Youning had blamed her pregnancy for her abnormality. Obviously, she was trying to hide something.
âWhatâs wrong with her?â
Mu Sijue thought of the Xu Youning he saw today. It was winter outside, but there had been a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Her face was as pale as that of a dying person, and she did not even have the strength to resist Yang Shanshan.
He asked Xu Youning what was wrong with her, but she warned him against conniving with Yang Shanshanâs wrong doings.
What exactly was she hiding? What was she trying to escape from?
Mu Sijue suddenly looked at Su Jianâan, and his look was no longer as gloomy and silent as it had been these days. Instead, there was a look of decisiveness and sharpness in his eyes.
It was as if... he had made a very important decision.
Su Jianâan was a little scared by Mu Sijueâs gaze and asked nervously, âSijue, what are you thinking of?â
âTell me everything you know about Xu Youning recently!â
At the first instance, Mu Sijueâs tone was still calm, but if one listened carefully, Su Jianâan was well aware of the obvious anxiety and decisiveness in his words.
He had to know everything right now.
Su Jianâan had been together with Lu Boyan day and night for two years. She had thought that she had gotten used to facing all kinds of powerful people. But at this moment, she was still shocked by Mu Sijue and nodded. âOkay.â
Then, Su Jianâan told Mu Sijue everything she had found without reservation. The most important clue was that Xu Youning seemed to have left Mu Sijueâs phone number to Doctor Liu.
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and asked, âWho is Doctor Liu?â
âA doctor in the department of gynaecology and obstetrics of the Eighth Peopleâs Hospital,â Su Jianâan explained. âThe reason why we directed our attention to her was that her attendance statistics were very strange. During Youningâs stay at the top of the mountain, Doctor Liu happened to be on leave. After Youning went back, Doctor Liu returned to work as usual. I investigated and found that during her leave, Doctor Liu did not travel as she had claimed, and she did not have any records of consumption or traffic.â
Su Jianâan used to work at the police station and had helped solve a lot of weird cases. Mu Sijue had no doubts about her investigation.
Mu Sijue glanced at her and asked directly, âWhat are you suspecting?â
Su Jianâan said slowly, âI suspect that during Doctor Liuâs leave, her free movements were actually restricted by Kang Ruicheng. Before Youning came back this time, she must have found out that she was pregnant. Kang Ruicheng did not want you to know about Youningâs pregnancy, so he detained Doctor Liu privately so that you had no way to investigate.â
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and asked, âHave you ever contacted Doctor Liu?â
Su Jianâan nodded. After a while, she looked disappointed again. âI asked Yunyun to contact her, but Yunyun did not get anything out of her. Doctor Liu should be a very cautious person. Letâs think of another way.â
Mu Sijueâs look gradually became gloomy, and his voice seemed to be frozen. âStop thinking about it.â
âWhy?â Su Jianâan âs beautiful face had a shocked look. âDonât you want to know whatâs going on?â
âWe donât have time to investigate Doctor Liu.â Mu Sijue looked at the time and continued, âWait here for a moment. Iâll ask some people to bring Doctor Liu here directly.â
Only then did Su Jianâan realize that it was not that Mu Sijue did not want to continue the investigation, but that he did not want to conduct the investigation as inefficiently as she did.
âWouldnât everything be clear if they brought Doctor Liu here and asked her directly?â
It was simply so time-consuming to pussy foot around her, hoping to get some information!
It was indeed Mu Sijueâs way of doing things by acting so forcefully and righteously. She liked it!
Su Jianâan nodded. Just then, her phone rang. Lu Boyan called her and asked when she would be home.
Before she replied, Mu Sijue had taken the phone and said to Lu Boyan, who was on the other end of the phone, in a cold voice, âJianâan wonât be going back so soon.â
Lu Boyan, who was far away at Lu Enterprises, raised his eyebrows. âWhy?â
Mu Sijue glanced at Su Jianâan and said simply and directly, âIâll borrow your wife.â
âMu Sijue,â Lu Boyan said coldly, with a touch of warning in his tone, âsheâs my wife.â
âDonât worry. Iâm not interested in your wife,â Mu Sijue said, âI need her intelligence.â
âYouâll have two hours to deal with your affairs.â Lu Boyan left no room for negotiation. âMy wife still has to go home to take care of the children.â
Mu Sijue did not say anything more. He hung up the phone directly and returned it to Su Jianâan.
Su Jianâan could roughly guess the conversation between Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue. She was speechless.
âDidnât Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan consider her feelings at all?â
However, Mu Sijue now looked as if he was about to kill anyone standing in his way. She thought about it and decided not to provoke Mu Sijue for the time being. Otherwise, it was very likely that she would die with a shattered body.
Mu Sijueâs men, who had been just sent to find Doctor Liu, quickly came back with the news that Doctor Liu had resigned.
Su Jianâan had intended to drink some water. Hearing that, she put down the glass and said, âAsk about the reason for her resignation.â
One of those men immediately replied, âThe hospital explained that there was no reason. Doctor Liu suddenly submitted her resignation, and the head of the hospital approved immediately. Seventh Brother, what do you need me to do next?â
Mu Sijue pondered for half a second and ordered the man, âFind out where Doctor Liu went after she resigned. Remember, donât hurt her without my permission.â
âGot it!â The man immediately led other men to find Doctor Liu.
Mu Sijue looked at Su Jianâan and said in a still calm tone, âIâm sorry, this matter may not be solved within two hours.â
âIt doesnât matter!â Su Jianâan almost blurted out. âXiaoxi went to my house today. She will help take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi. Aunt Liu is also at home. There are enough people there! Well, your happiness for the rest of your life is more important!â
Mu Sijue, â...â
When Su Jianâan and Mu Sijue were waiting for news, Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng were still on their way back to the old house of the Kang family.
Xu Youning had just recovered from her dizzy spell. After getting in the car, she felt that her head was about to explode. She groaned in pain and curled up in the back seat with her head in her hands, looking fragile and pitiful.
âA Ning.â Kang Ruichengâs face tightened. He stretched out his hand, but he did not dare to touch Xu Youning. He just asked, âHow are you feeling? Should we go to the hospital?â
âSend me back. I donât want to go to the hospital. Anyway, the doctor canât do anything.â Xu Youningâs voice trembled. âIâll go back and sleep. Maybe Iâll be fine after sleeping.â
Kang Ruicheng urged, âDrive faster!â
He had a lot of questions for Xu Youning, but in such a case, he could only give up.
With a simple response, Dongzi sped all the way back to the old house of the Kang family.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the old house of the Kang family. Kang Ruicheng spoke softly to Xu Youning, âWeâre here.â
Xu Youning nodded, raised her head, and opened her eyes. For a moment, she could not see anything clearly.
She was stunned and had a look of confusion on her pale face. She subconsciously reached out to touch something in her panic.
Kang Ruicheng grabbed Xu Youningâs hand and asked, âA Ning, whatâs wrong with you?â
Xu Youning was about to ask why she could not see anything when everything in front of her became bright and the world came into focus again. For the first time, she found that it was such a beautiful thing to be able to see the colors and shapes of the world.
Seeing Xu Youning become confused and then joyful, Kang Ruicheng felt that something was wrong. âA Ning, whatâs wrong with you?â
âNothing. I could not see anything just now, but Iâm fine now.â Xu Youning massaged her still aching head. âLetâs go back.â
As soon as she got out of the car, Xu Youningâs legs gave way before she took a step forward.
In an instant, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been sucked away. She fell uncontrollably to the ground. Then, everything went black and she completely lost consciousness.
Kang Ruicheng had exited the car from the other side, so his men first found that something was wrong with Xu Youning, and hurried to tell Kang Ruicheng about it.
Kang Ruicheng rushed over as if he had lost control. He picked Xu Youning up and rushed back to the old house, shouting, âCall the doctors over!â
The doctors quickly came over. One of them examined Xu Youning, and then shook his head and said that he had no way to help Xu Youning.
Uncle He explained on behalf of the doctor, âAh Cheng, the blood clot in Miss Xuâs brain is too dangerous. We canât deal with it.â
âYou are all good-for-nothings!â Kang Ruicheng flew into a rage and turned over a table. âGet out of here, all of you!â
The doctors went out one after another, except Uncle He. He hesitated for a moment and tried to calm Kang Ruicheng down. âIf you want Miss Xu to get better, get her a specialist as soon as possible.â
Kang Ruicheng contacted his uncle who was far away in the Golden Triangle, and said in only one sentence. âI want to find the best brain surgeon.â
Even though he knew that Xu Youning was seriously ill, Kang Jintian advised, âAh Cheng, itâs not necessary. Now you even canât be sure whether Xu Youning really believes you or not. Isnât it better to leave her alone?â
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Youning who was sleeping, walked to the balcony, and slowly told Kang Jintian, âUncle, Xu Youning is now in my hands. Even if she doesnât believe me at all and came back just to take revenge on me, Iâll accept it. I just want her to stay with me for the rest of her life. So, she canât die.â
Kang Jintian hesitated for a moment, but still compromised. âI heard that Mumu likes her very much, so Iâll do it for Mumuâs sake. Just wait. Iâll contact the doctor for you right away and ask him to arrive in City A as soon as possible.â
Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone and looked back from the balcony. He could see Xu Youning in a coma, and the look in his eyes slowly deepened in thought.
In any case, Xu Youning could not die.
He, Mumu, and the family needed Xu Youning.
