Chapter 1087 - Real valuable News

The pain went deep into his bone marrow.

For a moment, Mu Sijue couldn’t even move.

In the end, he still managed to walk to the French windows.

He remembered very clearly that when Xu Youning was still on the top of the mountain, she liked to stand here and look into the distance.

At that time, he didn’t know what Xu Youning was thinking, nor did he know how much burden she was bearing alone.

By the time he came to his senses, it was too late. Xu Youning had already left.

The first day of the new year had not passed, and the whole city was still immersed in the joy of the new year. Countless fireworks bloomed in the air, forming a brilliant picture.

For the first time, Mu Sijue had the leisure of watching fireworks. He raised his head and stared at the night sky.

“Xu Youning should be in the old house of the Kang family by now.

“If she happens to look up as well, will she see the same scene as me?”

In the middle of the night, the lively fireworks gradually stopped, and the sky became quiet again.

Mu Sijue sat on the sofa, and the wound on his arm was slightly painful.

He poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hand. He didn’t drink it, and his expression was deep and unclear. He was thinking about something.

Mu Sijue didn’t know how long he had been sitting there. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. He subconsciously looked at the monitor screen, which showed Ah Guang’s face.

Mu Sijue opened the door with the remote control, and Ah Guang walked in with a smile.

“Seventh Brother, I knew you haven’t slept yet!” Ah Guang used all his enthusiasm and invited him. “Would you like to drink with me?”

Only Ah Guang knew that he had other intentions than drinking.

The reason why Mu Sijue asked to live in this small villa was that it had memories of him and Xu Youning together.

However, Xu Youning was no longer here.

When Mu Sijue saw the familiar scene and memories of the past came to his mind, he would definitely be sad or at least regret it.

Ah Guang felt that Mu Sijue was too pitiful, so he thought of the idea of drinking with Mu Sijue. He was trying to help Mu Sijue get rid of his sorrow.

At this time, Ah Guang didn’t realize that one might feel worse while drowning one’s sorrow with alcohol.

Mu Sijue looked up at Ah Guang.

He knew Ah Guang’s intention, but alcohol couldn’t change anything at this time.

Even if he got himself drunk, Xu Youning couldn’t come back.

Ah Guang saw that Mu Sijue didn’t show any sign of nodding, and he lost half of his confidence. He looked at Mu Sijue with uncertainty and said, “Seventh Brother, do you want to have a drink?”

Mu Sijue looked at Ah Guang with a cold face. “We’ve got business to do tomorrow, but you still want to drink?”

Ah Guang thought about it and decided to act first regardless of everything.

He suddenly stretched out his hands behind his back and said at all costs, “Seventh Brother, I’ve got everything prepared!”

He held a bottle of wine in one hand and two glasses in the other.

He indeed had got everything prepared.

Ah Guang raised the hand holding the wine and said with a smile, “Seventh Brother, let’s have a drink!”

Mu Sijue was speechless.

He knew that Ah Guang had never been addicted to wine or women. That was why he appreciated and valued Ah Guang.

Ah Guang was so persistent in drinking today. He should be doing this just for him.

Mu Sijue took the glasses and said, “Let’s go to the living room downstairs.”

Ah Guang was very clear about Mu Sijue’s mood today. He brought a top-notch strong liquor with him.

He opened the bottle cap and looked at Mu Sijue with a smile. “Seventh Brother, I know how good you are at drinking. I think we can finish this bottle!”

According to Mu Sijue’s usual drinking capacity, it was not difficult for him to finish a bottle of wine with Ah Guang.

Mu Sijue didn’t refuse. He raised his head and drank the wine, feeling that his throat was burning like a fire.

After three glasses of wine, he found that he actually started to get dizzy, and he couldn’t even tell the reality.

Mu Sijue reacted quickly and looked at Ah Guang immediately. His eyes were as cold as a blade. “Ah Guang, what did you put in the wine?”

Ah Guang put down his glass and said calmly, “A sleeping pill. Seventh Brother, as you said, we have important business to do tomorrow. You can have a good rest tonight.”

Mu Sijue felt even more dizzy. He supported himself by the armrest of the sofa and looked at Ah Guang in disbelief. “You…”

Ah Guang helped Mu Sijue to the room upstairs and said, “Seventh Brother, I know it’s too much. When you wake up tomorrow, you can punish me however you want. I only hope that you can have a good sleep now.”

He put Mu Sijue on the bed, watched him close his eyes, and then left the room with peace of mind.

The other brothers didn’t know, but Ah Guang knew very well that since Xu Youning left, Mu Sijue hardly had a good sleep.

In the beginning, Mu Sijue could only rely on sleeping pills.

However, it didn’t take long for him to give up taking them. His reason was very strange.

If he didn’t take sleeping pills, he could at least see Xu Youning in his dreams.

He was eager to have her in his dreams, which satisfied him.

However, he had to pay the price.

After dreaming about Xu Youning, Mu Sijue often woke up early and could no longer fall asleep again.

Because of his lack of sleep, Mu Sijue’s face had always been pale during this period, and Aunt Zhou’s heart ached when she looked at him.

Today, when he returned to the place where he had once been with Xu Youning, Mu Sijue’s mood should be more turbulent.

However, they still had very important business to do.

Ah Guang only hoped that Mu Sijue could have a good sleep and raise enough energy to deal with what would happen next.

The long night soon passed, and the sun shone all over the top of the mountain the next day. The snow gradually melted, adding a piercing chill to the top of the mountain.

When Mu Sijue woke up, he saw the warm and bright morning light in the room.

He sat up without having a headache or discomfort.

He hadn’t woken up so comfortably for a long time.

Because of the lack of sleep, when he woke up in the past, he always had a terrible headache, or he felt that his head was as heavy as a mountain.

Perhaps it was because he had had enough sleep today, he only felt refreshed.

Then, what happened yesterday before he went to bed came to Mu Sijue’s mind.

“Ah Guang dared to plot against me.”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes slightly, but in the end, there showed no murderous look in his eyes.

He got up, washed his face, changed into casual clothes, and went downstairs in high spirits.

Ah Guang had woken up already. He stood respectfully at the stairs on the first floor, slightly lowered his head, and didn’t move.

Mu Sijue asked Ah Guang as he walked down, “What are you doing?”

“Well… In the words of the ancients, I am asking for forgiveness.” Ah Guang kept his head down, and his tone was so sincere that people could not bear to blame him. “Seventh Brother, I didn’t do it on purpose last night.”

Of course, Mu Sijue knew that Ah Guang didn’t do it on purpose.

Otherwise, when he opened his eyes early in the morning, Ah Guang would experience the consequences of plotting against him.

He knew very well that Ah Guang did it for his good.

Even so, Mu Sijue’s expression was still frighteningly cold. He warned Ah Guang, “I’ll let this go. Don’t do it again!”

Ah Guang didn’t say anything.

He was ready to be punished. Hearing that, he was stunned and thought, “Mu Sijue means that… he’s letting me go this time?

“Well, it’s like what I’ve always said – Seventh Brother is still very kind and generous!”

Ah Guang raised his head and made a flattering expression. He nodded repeatedly and said, “I’ll keep that in mind, Seventh Brother!”

After breakfast, Mu Sijue got in the car and went out for business.

After what had happened last night, Ah Guang naturally increased the number of bodyguards protecting Mu Sijue. A small team of fully armed men looked quite magnificent.

Ah Guang also got in the car and told the driver, “Drive.” He then handed an iPad to Mu Sijue. “Seventh Brother, here’s the email you received last night. You should deal with it.”

Mu Sijue looked through the e-mail and asked, “Is there any news from Ah Jin?”

Ah Guang shook his head, paused for a moment, and then continued, “We… don’t need the news of Ah Jin. Kang Ruicheng failed in his mission. Ah Jin would tell us that he was very angry at most. Without Ah Jin’s information, we knew that he was very angry!”

Mu Sijue took a deep look at Ah Guang and said nothing.

Not long ago, he told Ah Guang that Ah Jin worked undercover for them.

Now, he began to doubt his decision.

Ah Guang looked at Mu Sijue’s expression and suddenly reacted. He hurriedly added, “Of course, if Ah Jin has any news about Sister Youning, he should contact us! For us, her news is the most valuable!”

Mu Sijue finally said, “Ah Guang, you know how to observe people’s expressions now.”

Ah Guang hadn’t reached that level yet.

“It’s so-so.” Ah Guang forced a smile and said, “It’s mainly because your expression has become much more vivid in the past year. Of course, I need to keep up with you.”

Ah Guang mustered up a lot of courage to say that. Of course, there was a hint of ridicule in his words.

What he didn’t expect was that Mu Sijue didn’t stare at him.

Mu Sijue just looked at him calmly, and he sounded that he was quite interested.

He asked, “When did that start?”

Ah Guang was stunned for a moment before he realized what Mu Sijue was asking.

He thought for a moment and gave Mu Sijue a very accurate answer. “Since Sister Youning started working undercover beside you!”

Ah Guang mentioned Xu Youning just like that.

Things were different now. Mu Sijue’s men could already calmly mention Xu Youning’s name.

They didn’t need to worry that Mu Sijue would get angry about it anymore.

As for the reason, maybe it was because Mu Sijue had already faced his inner feelings, and he was willing to admit that he loved Xu Youning.

Occasionally, his men would talk about him and Xu Youning. If Mu Sijue was in a good mood, he would join their conversation.

The others didn’t know the real purpose of Xu Youning’s return to Kang Ruicheng. They only knew that Mu Sijue was trying to get her back, so they didn’t find it strange.

This time, Mu Sijue was not angry when he heard Ah Guang’s words. Instead, he thought about what Ah Guang said.

He suddenly found that what Ah Guang said seemed to be right.

It was true that his life had not been so boring since Xu Youning appeared.

“In that case, I have to get Xu Youning.”
