Chapter 314 - Xu Moyu will Make His Move

“What's going on? Why do you keep staring at me?” Mu Cheng asked the distracted Mu Xiaobai.

“None of your business.” It was the same old response.

In truth, Mu Xiaobai didn't want Mu Cheng to know he was remembering the odd event from their past meeting.

Back then, he thought Mu Cheng had abandoned him, but he was sweating profusely while buying medicine for him.

Damn, he used to be so obedient and even shy, but now he's like a block of wood. Why didn't he dare to answer my call?

“Thinking about the past?” Mu Cheng was astute and could sense a bit of what Mu Xiaobai was recalling, even without him saying it.

“Why would I ask if I already knew!” Mu Xiaobai snapped, clearly annoyed. He then fell silent, hugged his legs, and stared intently at the sheets.

Ever since he was taken in by his deceitful father, he had become increasingly distant. He knew Mu Cheng listened to his father because he was treating his sister, but when would it end? He didn't want to maintain this strained relationship with Mu Cheng, as it left him feeling ashamed.

“How's your sister doing?” Mu Xiaobai leaned against Mu Cheng and asked casually.

“I haven't found a suitable heart yet, so she can't have cardiac surgery.”

As Mu Cheng said this, he bowed his head and kissed Mu Xiaobai's crown. New novel chapters are published on

Mu Xiaobai didn't respond, weighed down with worry. He and Mu Cheng had only just graduated from university, and they couldn't even afford his sister's hospital bills. Mu Cheng's mother had passed away a few years ago, and now they were like orphans, directionless and unsure where to turn for help.

“Xiao Yi wants them to take you because they pressured you to ignore them. If you go out with a gun, he'll kill you. You're a sensitive issue between him and his adoptive father. As much as I hate to say this, going after him will only lead to his death.”

“Then what do you expect me to do!? Tell me!” Mu Xiaobai roared. Despite his anger, tears suddenly flowed down his cheeks. His heart ached for Mu Cheng, and he didn't want to see him forced into a corner.

“Mu Sifa's wife has been close to Han Shaolin's wife all these years. Now that Shang Cijie's son has been kidnapped, Xu Moyu will definitely intervene. The one with the greatest influence in China right now is still Sect Leader Han Shaolin, so we should just watch from the sidelines.”

“Wait, you know Han Shaolin?” Mu Xiaobai asked, surprised. After all, Han Shaolin was the leader of Huaxia and was widely known.

“Not exactly. Xiao Yi sent me to investigate Shang Cijie over the years, so I just happened to learn about it.”

“So you've always known where Shang Cijie was but didn't report it to Xiao Yi or my dad?”

“Shang Cijie is innocent. There's no need to involve him,” Wu Tie said.

Thankfully, Mu Cheng still had the same kindness he always had and wasn't corrupted by Xiao Yi and his ruthless father.

“Don't worry! Anything you're anxious about won't happen.” Ye Zichen hugged Mu Xiaobai, trying to reassure him.

Mu Xiaobai wanted to be calm, but it was hard while his father and Xiao Yi remained alive.

“Are you planning to join Han Shaolin and his followers? If you continue like this, you could be in danger.”

“Third cousin knows one of Han Shaolin's subordinates. I'll contact them,” Wu Tie said with a glimmer of hope. But Mu Cheng refused, “Not now, my sister is still under your father's control. He has guards at the hospital, and if I make a move, my sister will be killed.”

At this point, Mu Xiaobai was filled with unwillingness and resentment, but he had no choice but to follow Mu Cheng's advice. He didn't want any harm to come to Mu Cheng's sister.
