“I want to see you.”
These five words were like a soft fist, slamming into Xu Youning’s heart.
Instantly, Xu Youning’s heart melted and she almost cried on the phone.
However, she could not be so emotional.
She still had something very important to do. She could not reveal her feelings like this.
Xu Youning took a deep breath and pretended not to have heard this remark. She directly continued, “Tell Shen Yuechuan that Kang Ruicheng wants to kidnap Yunyun.”
As if he had not heard Xu Youning’s words, Mu Sijue asked, “What?”
Xu Youning thought that the signal in the old city was not good, so she repeated it clearly. “Kang Ruicheng wants to kidnap Yunyun!”
“I can’t hear you clearly.” Mu Sijue’s voice sounded leisurely.
Xu Youning finally understood. “Mu Sijue, are you doing this deliberately?”
Mu Sijue laughed and said, “Yep, so what?”
“You… you’re so childish!” Xu Youning was so furious that she felt like climbing out of Mu Sijue’s phone and beating him up.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue did not deny it. Instead, he asked, “Will you come to see me if I admit that I am childish?”
“…” Xu Youning suppressed her anger. “I’ll say it again. Tell Shen Yuechuan to protect Yunyun. Kang Ruicheng doesn’t intend to let her go!”
Mu Sijue’s voice became cold and aloof again. “Why are you telling us this?”
“…” Xu Youning was speechless for a while.
Mu Sijue did not intend to let Xu Youning go. He urged her leisurely, “Xu Youning, answer me.”
He said this in a very confident tone as if he had already guessed the answer, but he had to hear Xu Youning saying it out loud.
In a trance, Xu Youning thought that Mu Sijue had discovered her secret.
She could not expose herself any longer. Otherwise, Mu Sijue might really find out the real purpose of her returning to Kang Ruicheng.
“I don’t want to see Yunyun getting injured.” Xu Youning said firmly, “Mu Sijue, I did it for Yunyun. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Really?” Mu Sijue said with a sneer, “Xu Youning, don’t let me find out you’re lying.”
Xu Youning held her breath and hung up.
She covered her chest with her hand, only to find that her heart was beating faster than before.
“Damn it, Mu Sijue isn’t a charm, but a curse!”
Xu Youning rushed into the bathroom, washed her face with cold water and finally calmed down.
She dried her hands, deleted the call record and leisurely went downstairs.
Ah Jin was sitting on the carpet in the living room and fighting intensely with Mumu in the game.
Xu Youning walked over and quietly slipped the phone back into Ah Jin’s pocket, saying, “I’ll accompany Mumu now. Go and do your work.”
“Okay.” Ah Jin handed the gamepad to Xu Youning. “Then I’m leaving.”
Xu Youning smiled and continued playing games with Mumu as if nothing had happened. It was not until Ah Jin stepped out of the door that she glanced at him from the corner of her eyes.
Ah Jin didn’t seem to notice anything unusual.
Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment, Mumu cheered, pointed at the LCD screen and said, “Auntie Youning, I won!”
“Again.” Xu Youning adjusted her sitting posture and looked at Mumu. “I’ll defeat you this time.”
“Humph!” Mumu raised his chin. “I’m not afraid. Let’s begin!”
In the living room of the Kang family’s old residence, a new round of fighting quietly began.
In the villa area tens of kilometers away, Mu Sijue put down his mobile phone, with a smile on his lips.
Perhaps, Su Jian’an was right. The reason why Xu Youning went back was not that she believed in Kang Ruicheng. On the contrary, she knew who killed Granny Xu.
In this case, the arrangements he had made at present were all right.
Next, all he had to do was to force Kang Ruicheng into a corner and ask the latter to send Xu Youning back.
He dialed Shen Yuechuan’s number and told him what Xu Youning had said.
Mu Sijue had long warned him about it, so Shen Yuechuan was not surprised. Instead, he was curious about another thing. “How could Xu Youning dare to contact you from Kang Ruicheng’s house?”
“She used Ah Jin’s phone.” Mu Sijue thought for a moment and said, “Ah Jin probably didn’t know about it.”
Shen Yuechuan frowned. “Did you expose Ah Jin’s identity when you answered the phone?”
“…” Mu Sijue didn’t want to answer such a stupid question and he turned to ask, “How many people shall I send?”
Shen Yuechuan was a patient. It was unrealistic to rely on him to protect Xiao Yunyun.
However, Mu Sijue had a lot of men under his command.
“Boyan has arranged for someone to come over and live downstairs with Song Jiqing. Yunyun is very safe now.” Shen Yuechuan smiled and said, “You… you’d better worry about Xu Youning.”
Mu Sijue openly accepted Shen Yuechuan’s teasing. “Since it’s none of my business, I’ll hang up.”
Gaging from Mu Sijue’s tone, it seemed that he was in a good mood.
While Shen Yuechuan was still surprised, he heard Xiao Yunyun’s cry from the bedroom.
He put down his phone and walked into the bedroom. “Yunyun, what’s the matter?”
“The fortune bag that my parents left to me!” Xiao Yunyun poured out everything in the bag. “I remember that I put it in the bag. Why is it missing?”
Shen Yuechuan went over and held Xiao Yunyun’s hand. “Don’t look for it.”
“No, it’s very important. I must find it.” Xiao Yunyun’s delicate brows furrowed due to her anxiety. After a while, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yuechuan in surprise. “Did you put it away?”
“Yeah.” Shen Yuechuan tried his best to divert Xiao Yunyun’s attention. “You often use this bag. I’m afraid that you’ll lose the fortune bag, so I put it away for you.”
The more Xiao Yunyun thought about it, the more confused she became. “Why didn’t you tell me? Where did you put it?”
“…”
Shen Yuechuan was in a dilemma.
If he told the truth, he would have to tell her about her parents’ identity, as well as the dangers that she was currently facing.
However, he didn’t want her to live in fear.
In order to safeguard Xiao Yunyun’s happiness, he arranged for the people sent by Lu Boyan to live downstairs.
“Why do you have so many questions?”
Shen Yuechuan frowned, held Xiao Yunyun’s face and kissed her on the lips. He didn’t answer her question and stopped her from saying what she planned to say next.
“Uhh…”
Xiao Yunyun didn’t respond for a moment. She took a few steps back and fell on the bed. Shen Yuechuan’s slender body pressed down on her.
She blinked and looked at Shen Yuechuan helplessly, forgetting about the fortune bag. Her mind was only filled with Shen Yuechuan’s warm and sexy lips and his firm and warm chest…
Thinking of that, Xiao Yunyun could not help swallowing hard.
Shen Yuechuan was amused and teased her. “What are you thinking about?”
Xiao Yunyun blurted out, “About you.”
When she realized that the answer was too blunt, Shen Yuechuan was already smiling at her. He looked at her and said, “Don’t think about me. I’m here.”
His voice was low and sexy, like a kind of drug that could make people intoxicated. Xiao Yunyun was so dazed that she heard only half of what he said. She closed her eyes subconsciously and waited for something.
Shen Yuechuan looked at the girl’s obedient and expectant look, and the last string of control in his brain suddenly snapped. He kissed her passionately.
After a long intimate session, both of them forgot about the fortune bag.
Shen Yuechuan stroked Xiao Yunyun’s face and said, “I have to go to the company.”
Xiao Yunyun pursed her red and plump lips. “Can I go with you?”
It was true that bringing Xiao Yunyun along with him was the best way to protect her.
“Of course.” Shen Yuechuan got up and also pulled Xiao Yunyun up. “Let’s go.”
When they went downstairs, Xiao Yunyun found that there were several people following them. They were all young men in their 20s and 30s, dressed in lightweight black clothes and black pants, as well as cool camouflage boots. It seemed that they knew Shen Yuechuan.
Xiao Yunyun held back her doubts. After getting in the car, she continued to observe and found that those people were driving behind them.
She poked Shen Yuechuan and asked, “Who are they?”
“Bodyguards.” Shen Yuechuan said briefly, “They will follow us whenever we go out in the future.”
“Well, cool!” Xiao Yunyun was excited and immediately, she asked in confusion, “But, do we need bodyguards?”
“For the sake of safety, no matter if we need them or not, they will follow you in the future.” Shen Yuechuan knocked Xiao Yunyun on the head. “Get used to it. Don’t think about shaking them off.”
Xiao Yunyun reluctantly said, “OK.”
When they arrived at the company, Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun came across several old shareholders. Shen Yuechuan introduced Xiao Yunyun to them out of courtesy. “My girlfriend.”
“Well.” The old shareholders nodded with a smile. “We all know her.”
Xiao Yunyun was surprised for a moment and then realized that the gossip about herself and Shen Yuechuan had once been a hot topic. Not to mention the shareholders, she was sure that there was no one in the whole Lu Enterprises who did not know her.
It had been a totally wrong decision for her to go to the company with Shen Yuechuan!
She decisively held Shen Yuechuan’s hand.
Shen Yuechuan looked back in confusion. “What’s the matter?”
“I’m not going up.” Xiao Yunyun said, “I want to go back to the apartment!”
Shen Yuechuan saw through Xiao Yunyun’s fear at a glance. He pulled her into the elevator and said, “You stay in my office and you won’t run into anyone else.”
It seemed very safe there.
Xiao Yunyun bit her lip, nodded reluctantly and followed Shen Yuechuan upstairs.
As soon as they entered the office, the telephone on Shen Yuechuan’s desk rang, followed by Lu Boyan’s voice.
“Yuechuan, come to my office.”
“Okay.” Shen Yuechuan hung up and turned to give Xiao Yunyun a kiss. “Wait for me to come back.”
Xiao Yunyun nodded obediently and strolled around Shen Yuechuan’s office, observing his daily work environment.
Outside, Shen Yuechuan directly pushed open the door of the president’s office and went in to ask, “Why are you in such a hurry to see me?”
“Come here.” Lu Boyan said, “It’s a call from Mu Qi.”
Shen Yuechuan thought of something and tapped on the phone with interest. “Mu Qi, did you find something?”
“There is indeed a clue in the fortune bag left by Yunyun’s parents,” Mu Sijue said.
“What clue?” Shen Yuechuan asked, “Is it the address of the Kang family’s base or the map?”
“I’m not sure for now.” Mu Sijue said, “That jade bead was made through a casting process and there’s a memory card hidden in it. But after so long, the memory card is damaged. We can only know what the contents are after it has been repaired.”
Lu Boyan said, “It should not be difficult for you to repair the memory card.”
“Yes,” Mu Sijue said, “Yuechuan, help me prepare some things and send them to my villa. I need them to repair the memory card.”
“You go directly to Dui Fang’s studio. He has everything there and he can also be your assistant.” After a pause, Shen Yuechuan added, “But, do you need to keep your trip a secret? If Kang Ruicheng finds out your trip to Dui Fang’s studio, he can basically guess that you are trying to find the clues.”
“There’s no need to keep it a secret.” Mu Sijue said leisurely, “Let Kang Ruicheng know. The more detailed, the better.”
