That’s right. Xu Youning didn’t believe Auston completely because he didn’t seem to be gay.
Even if he was, he would not be interested in a person like Mu Sijue.
They were similar to each other and both were powerful. They would not get along with each other if they were together.
However, there was another possibility—
The person who stopped the doctors from entering the country was indeed Mu Sijue.
Mu Sijue was so smart that he could guess that Kang Ruicheng would doubt Xu Youning once Kang Ruicheng found out that he was the one who stopped the doctors.
Even if Xu Youning explained that Mu Sijue did it to take revenge on her, the reason would not be good enough.
What’s more, it was contradictory that Mu Sijue wanted to take revenge on her while blocking the knife for her a few days ago.
If Kang Ruicheng discovered the truth, he would not trust Xu Youning like he did before even if Mu Sijue helped Xu Youning for the time being.
However, the results would be different if Auston took the blame.
Because of his special feelings for Mu Sijue, Auston was jealous of Xu Youning and did not want her to receive treatment.
With such a perfect excuse, they could draw Kang Ruicheng’s attention to Auston, therefore making him ignore Mu Sijue.
As for why would Auston, a proud person, be willing to reverse his sexual preference to help Mu Sijue? Maybe Mu Sijue had something on him.
But it was just an optimistic guess.
On the pessimistic side, Auston may really like Mu Sijue and he played these tricks behind Mu Sijue’s back.
Which one was the truth? Xu Youning still needed to observe the situation.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that Xu Youning’s crisis had been temporarily averted.
Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed considerably.
Seeing that Xu Youning was fine, Kang Ruicheng felt a little bit more assured. He said, “A Ning, I’m going to check the local hospitals. You stay at home with Mumu. Don’t go out.”
“Okay.”
After saying that, Xu Youning directly went to find Mumu without seeing Kang Ruicheng out.
Mumu was in the greenhouse. He squatted next to the lettuces that had just sprouted and talked to them carefully, “Daddy will find doctors for Auntie Youning and she will get better, right?”
Of course, there would be no reply from the greens.
Xu Youning smiled helplessly and called out to him, “Mumu.”
Hearing Xu Youning’s voice, Mumu rushed over and asked, “Where’s Daddy?”
“He went out to look for doctors for me. Let’s play our games,” Xu Youning cast a look at the greenhouse and said, “Your lettuces have grown taller.”
“Yes!” Mumu nodded hard. “They are very strong!”
“Don’t worry. I will learn from your lettuces,” Xu Youning said seriously and firmly as if she were talking to an elder.
Mumu was amused. He looked at Xu Youning, his eyes full of laughter and said, “Let’s go out.”
“Sure.”
Xu Youning held Mumu’s hand and walked out of the greenhouse with him.
The weather today was not very good. A mantle of gray fog covered the sky and covered the world in a blanket of haze.
Mumu didn’t like hazy days. He pulled Xu Youning and said, “Let’s go and play games in the room.”
Xu Youning couldn’t refuse him, obviously. “No problem!” she said.
While Xu Youning was playing games with Mumu, Auston was rushing to find Mu Sijue.
He ran all the way to the private hospital of Lu Enterprises and grabbed a nurse, asking,
“Where is Mu Sijue?”
The nurse stared at him and an infatuated look came into her eyes and she totally forgot to answer the question.
Auston had enchanting golden curly hair and handsome features and he could even give some Hollywood stars a run for their money when it came to good looks. He was very satisfied with his personal charisma. But he was still going to “kill” Mu Sijue!
A polite smile appeared on his face. “Pretty lady, can you tell me where Mu Sijue is?” he asked.
Perhaps even Auston himself didn’t realize that he exuded more charm when he acted gently.
The nurse wanted to scream—
“Forget Mu Sijue! Come for me!”
But when she saw how anxious Auston was, she didn’t want to waste his time and therefore told him directly, “Mr. Mu is in Mr. Shen’s ward.”
“Damn, it’s like saying nothing at all!”
Auston patiently asked, “Where’s Mr. Shen’s ward?”
The nurse gulped and pointed to the top floor and said, “It’s on the top floor of this building.”
“Thank you.”
Auston released the nurse, rushed into the elevator, and pressed the lift button frantically.
He swore that even if he couldn’t get to kill Mu Sijue today, he would reduce Mu Sijue to ashes with the flames of his anger!
Shen Yuechuan stayed in a suite. At this time, Mu Sijue was discussing Shen Yuechuan’s condition with several doctors in the living room.
Auston kicked the door open and shouted loudly, ignoring the other people in the room, “Everyone else, get out!”
Mu Sijue looked at his watch and found that Auston was there at the time he had predicted he would turn up.
He glanced at Auston and reminded him indifferently, “There’s no one called ‘everyone else’ here.”
Auston knew Mu Sijue said that on purpose. He took a deep breath and looked at Song Jiqing and Henry. “Sirs, please leave us alone for a while,” he said, making his voice sound as calm as possible. Then he rolled up his sleeves and had a grim look on his face. “I’m going to fight with Mu Sijue. I don’t want to hurt innocent people!”
“You won’t hurt the innocent,” Mu Sijue ridiculed him with a faint smile, “You’ll likely end up hurting yourself.”
This drove Auston mad. He rushed over and shouted, “I hinted that I liked you, but Xu Youning asked me to get a transsexual surgery! And, and then she said that’s useless because you like the original taste!”
“She knows me very well,” Mu Sijue said with undisguised joy in his voice.
Auston’s lungs were about to explode. “Mu Sijue, that’s enough!”
He bitterly regretted ever helping Mu Sijue.
At about 10 o’clock this morning, Mu Sijue suddenly called him and directly asked for his help.
Auston was very surprised—when did Mu Sijue need others’ help?
He rubbed his hands and responded enthusiastically, “Sijue, I’ll back you up any time!”
“Help him and I can get anything I want from him. Ha ha ha…”
Auston didn’t reveal his thoughts, of course. He just listened to Mu Sijue quietly.
Mu Sijue told him everything that Xu Youning had hidden and then said, “The police and officials of the Infection Sanitary Department will go to the airport. When the doctor from country S gets off the plane, they will take him away.”
“Okay,” Auston responded, “So what else should I do since they will be taking the doctor away?”
He thought Mu Sijue needed him to assassinate the doctor, which was not difficult for him.
“Of course there is and it’s very important,” Mu Sijue said, “Kang Ruicheng will definitely investigate into this matter and try to find out who was the culprit who stopped these doctors. We can’t let him know that it was Boyan and me.”
Auston thought for a moment and quickly realized. “You want me to be the scapegoat?” he asked.
“Yes,” Mu Sijue answered directly.
“I don’t mind taking the blame,” Auston said hesitantly, “but the problem is I have no grudge against Xu Youning. Why should I stop her from seeing a doctor? Kang Ruicheng is not stupid. Won’t he doubt that?”
“Of course he will,” Mu Sijue paused and then continued, “So you need to find an excuse that will divert Kang Ruicheng’s attention. You can’t let him think of me and Boyan.”
“Ha ha ha…” Auston laughed uncontrollably. “Should I say that I like you?”
Mu Sijue thought for a moment and said, “Uh, that’s a good one.”
“Fuck!” The corner of Auston’s mouth twitched. “Are you serious?”
Mu Sijue didn’t answer but asked, “Can you think of a more substantial excuse?”
Auston couldn’t.
Mu Sijue said calmly, “Since there’s no other choice, then it’s settled.”
Auston’s heart contracted. “Damn, I have so much to lose.”
“You’re wrong,” Mu Sijue corrected him, “I’m the one who stands to lose the most.”
Auston was speechless for a moment. Then he thought of something else and said, “Will she treat me as her rival in love since we both like you? Will she assassinate me?”
“No, she is not able to,” Mu Sijue said, “You can rest assured.”
“Okay then,” Auston smiled viciously and said expectantly, “I’m looking forward to Xu Youning’s reaction.”
Mu Sijue paused for a moment and said slowly, “Me too.”
Auston thought Xu Youning would be angry or pretend nothing had happened. The weirdest situation would be her giving her blessing to him and Mu Sijue.
Then after Xu Youning came back, he could laugh and tell her, “Miss, you misunderstood. I’m straight!”
He never expected that Xu Youning was so sharp that he almost choked to death.
The most humiliating thing was that he had to pretend to like Mu Sijue very much and have a verbal battle with Xu Youning on the phone.
Auston no longer cared about how awkward it was to reverse his sexual preference.
What he minded was that Mu Sijue had obviously anticipated Xu Youning’s reaction. That’s why Mu Sijue would say he also looked forward to Xu Youning’s reaction and was willing to let him be the sacrifice!
Damn, that’s not what a brother would do!
Auston glared at Mu Sijue with his blue eyes. “You’re too cunning!” he said.
Mu Sijue responded lightly, “I just gave you a chance to know Xu Youning. Weren’t you curious about her?”
Auston could only admit that he was so naive when he said he was curious. He obviously underestimated Xu Youning’s ability.
Thinking about that, Auston cursed angrily, “Son of a bitch! I’m not curious anymore! I take back my words!”
