The warehouse was filled with the bustling sounds of the workers. Since the matter had been investigated, there was no need to stay here any longer. Just as I was about to follow Mu Huainan and leave, I suddenly heard a loud noise.
The ruckus in the warehouse died down in an instant, leaving the whole place in complete silence.
Outside the warehouse, the pale man who had knelt on the ground was lying in a pool of blood. There was a huge bloody hole in his forehead. His eyes were wide open, but there was no sign of life. Beside his hand was a black pistol.
He only had time to take a glance before his vision was suddenly blocked by a pair of slender hands.
"Don't look." Mu Huainan's voice came from above my head. I thank him for treating me like a child and protecting me, but at this moment, I know that I have to look.
Even if I was scared, sick, or sick, I had to look.
The blood, the tears, the wasted wood, the lost money, the workmen's days and nights, they were all my father's doing.
I suddenly realized that I didn't know my father at all. I thought he was simple and honest, but in reality, he had done such a thing.
If I want to understand my father, I have to accept these facts.
I pulled Mu Huainan's hand away and stared at the man in the pool of blood. After a while, I stepped forward and slowly walked towards the dead Gu Heng.
"Peace …" Shen Xiuyuan called out, but my name seemed to have been called by him, I suddenly stopped, probably stopped by Mu Huainan.
Without looking back, I walked on into the pool of blood.
The watch on Gu Heng's hand was still ticked away, covered in blood and time could not be seen clearly.
A thick smell of blood invaded my brain. I looked down and saw those huge, staring eyes staring at me, empty and terrible. It made my scalp tingle and my whole body go cold until I lost all sense of what was happening.
When I woke up I was at home. Faintly, he seemed to hear Shen Xiuyuan's voice.
"How is she young? Is it appropriate for her to know all this now?"
Mu Huainan's voice came from afar.
"It will happen sooner or later."
"Aren't you afraid that she won't be able to accept it? "If she's depressed or something, at her age, I can't say for sure."
It is probably because my consciousness has gradually cleared up and Mu Huainan's voice has also become clearer. I can feel that he is right by my side.
"If … if she was that weak, why would I need to take her in?"
Shen Xiuyuan and standing on the other side of me, I could hear his location.
"Or do you think you're a beast that can't be turned over by such a young girl? Sigh, my clever and adorable An An, the young girl who should have been happy and happy, was pulled into the Merchant Sea by you. How pitiful."
Their voices gave me a headache. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Mu Huainan sitting to my right first.
"He woke up." He was still cold. "Hungry?"
I nodded.
"Go, cook." Mu Huainan raised his eyebrows and instructed Shen Xiuyuan: "Boil the porridge."
Shen Xiuyuan was probably used to being ordered around by this guy. He mumbled something and walked out.
"Uncle Huainan." I didn't call him a godfather, this time either because I was embarrassed or because I wanted to tell him more.
"Can you teach me how to do business?"
Mu Huainan didn't correct the way I called him previously. A trace of gratification flashed across his cold and claustrophobic eyes.
"You agreed?" Actually, I am not very sure that Mu Huainan would agree to my request. After all, I already owe him too much, I don't even have the capital to ask for anything anymore. Furthermore, if I get a leading figure in the financial world to teach me how to do business, I'm afraid that the time wasted will be enough to support me for my entire life.
"Yes." Mu Huainan squinted his eyes: "You are … an Inherent skill."
My eyes lit up. "Really?"
"It's probably mine, ten thousand to one."
Hearing Mu Huainan's words, the smile that I had just revealed became awkward, and couldn't help but twitch a little.
"This... "Is this considered a compliment …."
Mu Huainan curled his lips and did not say a word.
"Uncle Huainan." I called again, trying to test his reaction.
He accepted it with a soft "En".
"Why did you insist on me calling you 'godfather' in the beginning?"
As Mu Huainan listened, he couldn't help but smile.
"It's you, I recognize you."
I was a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it for a bit, it was indeed like that. I hugged Mu Huainan's leg and cried and called him daddy at the funeral.
"But …" "At the company, you still want me to call you daddy. So many colleagues …"
"A decision made by myself." Mu Huainan said indifferently: "Learn to be responsible."
So, instead of being unreasonable, he was teaching me to learn?
"Think twice before acting." Mu Huainan spoke in an intermittent and slow voice, as if he was always somewhat lazy.
I listened carefully, memorizing it.
"Why are you willing to help me?"
To tell the truth, I still didn't want to completely believe this man. He was too shrewd, and hid a depth that I didn't understand.
Since things had gotten to this point, he might as well explain everything clearly.
"I'm not afraid that you'll lie to me and use me." Since I dared to ask, I was prepared to accept everything. I took a deep breath and said, "So, just tell me what you want me to do."
Otherwise, if this kind of debt to Mu Huainan continues to accumulate knowledge day after day, I really won't know how long it will take to finish it.
Mu Huainan's expression was indifferent, and carried an unparalleled cold intent.
"Are you still … not worthy? I'll use it."
Mu Huainan is right, I am useless, I am not even clear on the most basic of accounts, the shares of the Lu Group are already in his name, to him, I am most likely a burden.
"Then are you just pitying me?" This reason seemed reasonable.
"No."
I raised my head to look at him. His brows were always filled with endless indifference. How could such a heartless and heartless person have pity on such useless feelings?
It's because I think too much and live too young.
There are too many things that cannot be explained clearly in this world. My biggest mistake was trying to understand these things, but in the end, I even wiped away the dust on my face.
