Chapter 996 Xu Youning Began Her Action

Mumu was so happy that he played to his hearts content and therefore became sleepy after dinner.

He leaned on Xu Younings shoulder and said in a childish voice, Auntie Youning, I want to sleep

You havent washed up yet, Xu Youning patted the little guys head and coaxed him softly, Ill bathe you first and then you can go to bed. Deal?

Mumu pursed his lips. Obviously, he didnt agree, but he was unwilling to displease Xu Youning, so he nodded reluctantly and said, Deal

Xu Youning looked at Ah Jin and said politely, Please help me hold Mumu.

Ah Jin smiled and responded unexpectedly in a very nice way, No problem.

Xu Youning was surprised.

Ah Jins att.i.tude had been a little strange lately. He seemed to loathe her but did not go all out to spite her.

Though she did not understand Ah Jins weird behavior, Xu Youning did not keep that in mind since she considered that there was no need to offend others if they didnt offend her.

But today, Ah Jin was smiling at her.

Whats his problem?

Xu Youning didnt think too much about it. She followed Ah Jin upstairs and gave Mumu his bath.

She didnt know how many more times she could do this, so she was particularly gentle. Mumu was sleepy and tired. He leaned against the bathtub and dozed off.

After the bath, Xu Youning sent the little guy to his room.

Mumu fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Seeing him sleeping so peacefully and contentedly, Xu Youning felt both relieved and regretful.

She hoped that they would be lucky enough to meet again in their next lives even though they had different ident.i.ties.

Because of the limited time she had, she had to leave the little guy even though she was reluctant to.

She bent down to kiss Mumus forehead. Then, she got up and left his room.

Ah Jin happened to pa.s.s by. Xu Youning stopped him and asked, When will Brother Cheng be back?

About 10 oclock, Ah Jin answered, Brother Cheng has something to do and wont be back so early.

Ah Jin meant that he would cover for Xu Youning if she had to do whatever she needed to do.

But Xu Youning didnt get Ah Jins implication. She just nodded and said, Okay, thank you.

Youre welcome.

Ah Jin went downstairs with a calm look, his expression not giving anything away.

Xu Youning sneaked into Kang Ruichengs study room again while no one was looking. She booted up his computer and tried to forcibly find the hidden secret doc.u.ments.

Kang Ruicheng had installed a program on his computer that recorded the usage of his computer, which would include Xu Younings search records.

Once Kang Ruicheng checked the usage records, he would find that someone had accessed his doc.u.ments.

However, she did not care about all these details.

Even if she didnt do anything, when the doctors invited by Kang Ruicheng arrived and found out her child was still alive, Kang Ruicheng would be suspicious of her and she would consequently fall from heaven to h.e.l.l.

Although Kang Ruicheng might discover that she was searching for the evidence of his crimes, at least she could let Mu Sijue know she came back to Kang Ruicheng on purpose.

She would send the doc.u.ments she found to Mu Sijue and at that time, Mu Sijue might be able to save her.

If she didnt do anything, she was on a road that led to nowhere but death.

On the contrary, if she managed to collect the evidence of Kang Ruichengs crimes, there was still a glimmer of hope for her survival.

In that case, why shouldnt she take the latter choice?

With that in mind, Xu Youning quickened her pace as she typed in the search words on the keyboard.

Although she did not have much knowledge about the computer and Internet when she was being trained by Kang Ruicheng, she acquired her unique skills when she worked undercover for Mu Sijue who was a master-hand in computer science.

It was not until this moment that Xu Youning felt very grateful to Mu Sijue for teaching her without reservation. Otherwise, things wouldnt have gone so smoothly for her.

Xu Youning soon decla.s.sified those doc.u.ments and copied all of them into her USB drive regardless of whether they were important.

The files were so large that the copying process went very slowly. Xu Youning could only stare at the progress bar with her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

Success or failure hinged on this action.

When the progress bar reached 85 percent, Xu Youning glanced at the surveillance images.

For her safety, she called up the surveillance images as soon as she came in and would glance at them from time to time.

There was nothing unusual happening. But this time, she saw Kang Ruicheng from the surveillance camera above the stairs.

Kang Ruicheng was coming upstairs!

Didnt Ah Jin say that Kang Ruicheng would come back at 10 oclock? Why did he come back earlier?

Xu Youning subconsciously looked at the progress bar, which showed the task was 90% done.

The remaining 10% could not be completed before Kang Ruicheng came up. Even if it could, she would not have time to leave the study.

Once Kang Ruicheng found her hiding in the study, she would be exposed even before the doctors arrived!

While Xu Younings brain was spinning rapidly, Kang Ruicheng had already arrived at the door of the study on the second floor.

She felt a chill run down her spine

d.a.m.n, cant G.o.d help me out here?

When Xu Youning was frantically thinking about the countermeasures, a figure suddenly appeared on the surveillance camera. She looked carefully and found it was Ah Jin.

She heard Ah Jin stopping Kang Ruicheng outside the door

Brother Cheng, youre finally back! Ah Jin said in a surprised voice. But no one knew if it was real or fake.

Kang Ruicheng turned to ask, Whats the matter?

A very important matter, Ah Jin looked excited, Auston is here! Maybe he changed his mind and chose to work with us.

Kang Ruicheng really wanted to cooperate with Auston. But every time he or Xu Youning negotiated with him, something unforeseen would always happen.

Was Auston coming here with good news this time?

Kang Ruicheng immediately turned around and said, Lets go and meet Auston.

Okay!

Ah Jin looked happy. Before he went downstairs, he glanced at the camera above the door of the study.

Xu Youning had already broken out in a cold sweat. She kept staring at the monitor and in her anxiety almost raked the desk with her fingers.

When Ah Jin looked up, she met his eyes through the camera.

Suddenly, instead of fear, Xu Youning had a strange feeling

It seemed that Ah Jin knew she was in the study and he came to help her.

But, wasnt Ah Jin Kang Ruichengs subordinate? Why would he help her?

It should be a coincidence.

Xu Youning forced herself to forget about Ah Jins strange look. She looked at the progress bar and found the doc.u.ments were fully copied.

She quickly pulled out the USB drive and put it in her pocket, then returned to her room as quickly as she could.

Mumu was still sleeping. Xu Youning turned on the computer and, rather than copying the doc.u.ments from the USB drive, deleted the footage that recorded her going in and out of the study from the surveillance camera and filled the gap with a blank segment.

In this way, no one would know that she had entered Kang Ruichengs study unless someone checked the surveillance videos very carefully.

After dealing with the surveillance records, Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief. She then took out the USB drive from her pocket and plugged it into the computer to read the doc.u.ments.

Some of the information would be very useful for Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.

But she couldnt send them out now.

The network was closely monitored by Kang Ruicheng. Anything sent out would be filtered by a program. Any abnormal doc.u.ments would be intercepted and Kang Ruicheng would receive the alarm.

The email that Xu Youning sent to Mu Sijue would definitely be intercepted. Once Kang Ruicheng saw the recipient, he would know it was sent by her even without making a guess.

If so, she would be done for.

Therefore, she would not break the program and send the email if it was not urgent.

As soon as Xu Youning pulled the USB drive out and turned off the computer, there was a knock on the door.

She took a deep breath and calmly opened the door as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, it was Kang Ruicheng outside the door.

Xu Youning pretended to be confused, asking, You just came back?

Yes, There was no obvious emotion in Kang Ruichengs voice, Auston came just now.

Xu Youning was stunned and looked surprised. Will he cooperate with us? she asked.

He came here to apologize, Kang Ruichengs voice sank, becoming sullen, Hes still adamant about cooperating with Mu Sijue.

The surprised look on Xu Younings face gradually disappeared. After a long while, she forced a smile and said, It doesnt matter. Well have another opportunity in the future.

Lets not talk about this, Kang Ruicheng looked into the room, Wheres Mumu?

Xu Youning stepped aside and motioned for Kang Ruicheng to look inside. He played so happily today. He was tired and went to bed early.

Kang Ruicheng grabbed Xu Younings hands and looked at Xu Youning affectionately. A Ning, even if Auston cant be our partner, I am still very happy today because you can get better, he said.

Xu Youning nodded and hugged Kang Ruicheng gently, replying, I will.

Go to bed early, Kang Ruicheng released Xu Youning and kept looking affectionately at her, A Ning, Im afraid I cant control myself when you get close to me.

Xu Youning pretended to be angry. She glared at Kang Ruicheng, closed the door, and returned to the room.

No one noticed that the moment she turned around, Xu Younings face suddenly fell and she was confused.

In her contact with Auston, she was aware of the natural arrogance of this man.

This time, Auston took the initiative to select his partner. Such a proud person did not need to apologize to Kang Ruicheng because he was free to choose his partner.

It was just too weird that he came all the way here just to apologize.

The weirdest part was the time he arrived.

How could it be so coincidental? When Kang Ruicheng was about to find her, Ah Jin rushed up to tell him Auston was here so Kang Ruicheng had to go downstairs to meet Auston, which gave her enough time to leave the study and cover her tracks.

Were all of these coincidences or meticulous arrangements?

Thinking of the word coincidence, Xu Youning couldnt help laughing at herself

If these were all carefully arranged

Then who did it for her?

She was out on a limb when she left Mu Sijue this time. Who would arrange everything to pull her out of danger?

They should be coincidences, right?
