Chapter 421 Missing Mu Sijue Like Crazy

Xu Youning was stunned when she saw who was at the door.

It was not Mu Sijue. She became disappointed at once, but she was relieved that it wasn’t Mu Sijue. Otherwise, he would ask her why she was in his apartment, and she wouldn’t know how to answer him. If she explained to him that she felt so sleepy so she had a rest there, Mu Sijue would just give her a cold smile.

Aunt Zhou became stunned as well.

With nothing to be done in the old house, she went to Mu Sijue’s apartment every two days to clean up his room, like changing his bedding and sorting his clothes.

It was her first time to see a woman in his apartment then. However, she wasn’t surprised to see Xu Youning there.

Aunt Zhou smiled naturally and said, “I’m here to do the cleaning for Sijue.”

For a moment, Xu Youning didn’t know what to say. She made a dull smile and realized that Aunt Zhou was explaining to her.

Well, she wasn’t the hostess of the apartment. The one who should feel embarra.s.sed to be there was her, and the one who should give an explanation should also be her.

“Oh, Aunt Zhou, actually I’m…”

Before Xu Youning finished her words, Aunt Zhou noticed the carelessly wrapped gauze around her hand. She ran over to her and asked in surprise, “Are you injured?”

“Two groups of guys clashed in the bar on Changxing Road. I tried to calm them down but got injured by accident.”

Before Xu Youning could continue explaining why she was there, Aunt Zhou took her hand and made her sit down on the sofa. “From the gauze, I can tell that you didn’t take good care of your wound! That’s too bad. Let me dress the wound for you again.”

Aunt Zhou took out a medical kit and skillfully dressed Xu Youning’s wound. She said, “Sijue used to get injured many times. I often dressed his minor wounds. Afterward, he was busier and busier with his work. Every time he came to see me, I found him either injured or busy. I have looked after him since he was a kid, and I used to miss him when I hadn’t seen him in a long time. But now, I realize that it’s OK because it means that he is fine.”

Xu Youning knew that Aunt Zhou was worrying about Mu Sijue’s safety. Indeed, Mu Sijue was always in danger; maybe someone was making a plan to end his life.

However, Aunt Zhou was getting old. No matter what the fact was, Xu Youning didn’t have the heart to tell Aunt Zhou, so she tried to comfort her and said, “You don’t need to worry about him. He has many guys to protect him. He will be fine.”

Aunt Zhou smiled and carefully bandaged Xu Youning’s wound, then she asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll cook for you.”

Xu Youning didn’t want to bother Aunt Zhou and shook her head. At the very moment, her stomach rumbled beyond her expectation. Aunt Zhou gave her a smile to indicate that she got her point, then she stood up and walked into the kitchen.

After a while, the phone in the living room rang. From the number, Xu Youning knew that it was Mu Sijue calling. She didn’t have the courage to answer the phone and took it over to Aunt Zhou.

Mu Sijue knew that Aunt Zhou would go to his apartment at noon, so he was calling to ask her to find a doc.u.ment in his study and hand it to Ah Guang.

Aunt Zhou knew little about doc.u.ments, so she said on the phone, “You may talk to Miss Xu about it.”

Mu Sijue asked in a rare surprising voice, “Is Xu Youning in my apartment?”

“Yes, she said that yesterday something went wrong in the bar on Changxing Road. After she handled it, it was too late so she slept in your apartment. She got injured. Just now, I dressed the wound on her hand.”

As for the last thing, Aunt Zhou revealed it intentionally.

As Aunt Zhou expected, Mu Sijue said, “Put her on the phone, please.”

When she took the phone, Xu Youning felt a little frightened. She timidly said, “h.e.l.lo?”

“What happened in the bar on Changxing Road?” Mu Sijue asked in a serious tone, and it was difficult to tell how he felt.

Xu Youning briefed him on what had happened, but she didn’t mention her injury. In the end, she said, “As for the police and the press, it’s all fixed. Everything will be fine. Trust me.”

“…” Mu Sijue was silent.

Xu Youning thought that he had hung up. She was about to hang up but heard him ask, “What about the injury to your hand?”

Mu Sijue had wanted to know how Xu Youning got hurt when he asked her to answer the phone, without expecting that she wouldn’t mention it at all, so he directly asked about her injury.

Xu Youning was temporarily at a loss, trying to tell what Mu Sijue’s feeling was from his words, but she saw nothing from his official, routine tone. Then she flatly said, “Tian Zhen wanted to hit Hua Ge. I stepped forward to stop Tian Zhen and got injured by the broken beer bottle in his hand. It’s nothing.”

Mu Sijue said with the same tone, “I see.”

Xu Youning felt relieved that she didn’t take the initiative to think Mu Sijue was worrying about her. From Mu Sijue’s tone, she couldn’t hear any of his worries for her.

Despite that, she was loath to hang up.

In total, she hadn’t heard Mu Sijue’s voice for about five days. In her mind, even if she couldn’t see him, to hear his voice more was just as well.

Therefore, Xu Youning asked with an embarra.s.sing voice, “By the way… when will you come back?”

“…” Mu Sijue didn’t answer her right away, which made Xu Youning suddenly realize that her question could be easily misunderstood. So she said at once, “Mr. Mu, don’t mistake me. I’m not missing you. I only…” She was so anxious that she bit her tongue, and she had to stop talking.

“d.a.m.n, it hurts!” Xu Youning thought.

At that moment, Mu Sijue began to speak in a joyful voice. “How much do you miss me?”

“…I only want you to come back soon. I’m busy like crazy!” Xu Youning was almost driven mad.

“Are you missing me like crazy?” After a while, Mu Sijue continued as if he became benevolent. “Now that you are so miserable, I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

“…” Xu Youning knew well that the more she tried to explain, the more Mu Sijue would intentionally mistake her. She squeezed her eyes shut and hung up, cursing Mu Sijue in her mind. “You’d better never come back!”

Xu Youning’s words turned out to be nearly a prophecy. Just a bit more, and Mu Sijue would never be back.

After the call, Mu Sijue adjusted his schedule because he wanted to return that night.

Shen Yuechuan, who had been there with him, opened his mouth in surprise and said, “Seriously? If we return tonight, we’ll have to leave as soon as we sign the contract. I want to stay longer with the beauties in Mexico!”

Mu Sijue glanced at Shen Yuechuan and said, “You can go back when you’re tired of it.”

“Forget it, I’ll go with you.” Then Shen Yuechuan sighed. “Jianan is in the latter period of her pregnancy. Now I’m busier than our boss. To tell you the truth, after she got pregnant, the one who has suffered the most is me. Ah!” he said with a tearful look on his face.

With an indifferent voice, and a look on his face that was saying “it’s so unnecessary”, Mu Sijue asked, “Does anybody… listen to your grievances?”

His precise words. .h.i.t the nail on the head, which almost made Shen Yuechuan sad to death.

He rubbed his hands and tried to fight against Mu Sijue. “Isn’t it shameful for you to disdain a single man like me? By the way, have you slept with Youning?”

“…” Mu Sijue didn’t either admit or deny it.

Shen Yuechuan took it as Mu Sijue’s acquiescence and decided to make fun of him. He smiled and said, “You’re so quick. Tell me, why are you so quick? The other day, weren’t you so perturbed that you chose to get drunk?”

Shen Yuechuan would never forget how Mu Sijue looked when he said that he liked Xu Youning after he got drunk.

Although his hidden history was dug out, Mu Sijue wasn’t anxious at all. He calmly said, “I think you are quicker than me.”

“…”

Shen Yuechuan felt like a mouthful of blood had gotten stuck in his throat and almost spewed out.

Shen Yuechuan thought, “d.a.m.n! What I said didn’t mean that you’re bad in bed! By the way, I’m not quick. I… am great.”

Shen Yuechuan poked Mu Sijue with his elbow and intentionally said, “From the current situation, Youning will leave you one day sooner or later. Listen, if you get Youning pregnant, she may be frank with you for the baby boy’s or the baby girl’s sake and betray Kang Ruicheng to stay with you. ”

“A baby?” Mu Sijue thought.

Mu Sijue couldn’t deny that Shen Yuechuan had come up with a good idea.

However, he wouldn’t speak it out.

“Do you think I need to use such a vile method?”

With that, Mu Sijue walked toward the gate, leaving Shen Yuechuan an upright figure.

Shen Yuechuan couldn’t help complaining. “You said it as if you have rarely used that way!”

In fact, Mu Sijue was good at using vile methods. He had guessed that Kang Ruicheng would ask Xu Youning to inquire about his offer. He told her that he was going to offer 120,000, but he actually offered less than 110,000, which made him beat Kang Ruicheng, whose offer was 110,000. That way, he won over the cooperation, leaving Kang Ruicheng so angry that he almost jumped off the mountain.

After signing the contract that evening, Mu Sijue would lose a lot of money.

However, he wasn’t unhappy at all. It seemed that seeing Kang Ruicheng lose, instead of making a profit, would make him happier.

The process of signing the contract was smoother than Shen Yuechuan had thought. After that, he and Mu Sijue hurried straight to the airport with several guys.

The airport was built on the outskirts of the city; they had to get there through a long ghat. Since it was late at night, Shen Yuechuan had to be vigilant, while he asked Mu Sijue in a teasing tone, “Kang Ruicheng wants to kill you. Do you think he will do so when we are abroad?”

As soon as his voice died down, with a “Bang—” sound and then a cras.h.i.+ng sound, the gla.s.s window of their car broke into pieces.

Mu Sijue and Shen Yuechuan got down almost at the same time, each holding a pistol that was already loaded.

Mu Sijue’s men surrounded his car at once and began to fight back.

However, their opponent’s car had a bulletproof sh.e.l.l, and they were outnumbered; they couldn’t hold on for long.

Seeing that, Shen Yuechuan called Lu Boyan for help, but he was told that they had to wait at least 30 minutes for their a.s.sistance.

He and Mu Sijue were able to hold on for 30 minutes. He loaded a pistol to the fullest and handed it to Mu Sijue, saying, “As usual.”

They had lived through a welter of blood and bullets and had a high degree of tacit understanding. They worked together and eliminated many of Kang Ruicheng’s men.

After all, their enemies outnumbered them and they were masters of driving. In a moment, there were two cars approaching from both sides out of their car, trying to sandwich it.

The cars rubbed against each other and made harsh noises. Shen Yuechuan realized his disadvantage, thinking that they had to get out of the situation, otherwise they would end in death.

He opened the window to jump on their car, and then he jumped on one of the cars that was trying to sandwich theirs.

If he killed the driver to stop the car, Mu Sijue would easily eliminate the other guys in it, thus making it possible for them to get out of the dilemma.

Kang Ruicheng’s men were quick to react; they constantly shot at the roof. Shen Yuechuan avoided the bullets, then he broke the driver’s window with his hand and shot the driver dead.

The car was stopped; Mu Sijue’s car managed itself out of the dilemma. However, Shen Yuechuan, who was static on the roof and could be clearly seen, had been aimed at.

Mu Sijue noticed that and aimed his pistol at the guy who was aiming at Shen Yuechuan.

“Bang—”

“Bang—”

With the sounds of gunshots, two bullets flew out; one bullet came out of Mu Sijue’s pistol and shot the guy that was aiming at Shen Yuechuan.

The other one shot Mu Sijue.
