A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 969 - Mu Sijues Plot (2)

Chapter 969 Mu Sijue’s Plot (2)

Auston was right.

Mu Sijue tried hard to lure Xu Youning here indeed for another purpose.

After returning to City G, Mu Sijue accidentally found that Su Jian’an had been investigating what had happened to Xu Youning, but she did not mention it to him.

He vaguely guessed Su Jian’an’s plan.

If Su Jian’an found that Xu Youning was indeed hiding something, she would give him a surprise. If the truth was what it looked like, that was to say, Xu Youning really hated him and regarded him as her enemy, Su Jian’an would pretend that she had never investigated it.

Having investigated it for so many days, Su Jian’an made no progress, but she did not give up. She had been making a painstaking investigation and trying to prove that there was a reason why Xu Youning gave up him and the child.

Seeing Su Jian’an be busy with his affair, Mu Sijue suddenly felt that it shouldn’t be like that.

He was the person involved, but he stayed out of the affair and left it to Su Jian’an, who needed to take care of two children.

Probably because he was influenced by Su Jian’an or because he had long had this idea, almost in an instant, Mu Sijue made a decision-to see Xu Youning again.

Therefore, he collected evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering and let him be detained at the police station for a day, creating two opportunities to meet Xu Youning.

If Xu Youning really gave up the child for an unspeakable reason, then she could tell him directly when they met this time.

Kang Ruicheng was at the police station, and even if he took Xu Youning away directly, it was beyond his reach.

It turned out that he and Su Jian’an had been wrong.

Xu Youning was here just for the negotiation. She was completely on Kang Ruicheng’s side. Even if she knew that Auston did not intend to cooperate with her, she still wanted to win an excellent partner for Kang Ruicheng.

She did not mention their relationship, nor did she feel guilty about aborting the child, let alone explain it.

Perhaps what Xu Youning said on the day she left was true. She really regarded him as her enemy and had never thought about making their child survive.

In that case, he and Xu Youning would only be enemies.

“Hey!” Auston reached out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Mu Sijue. “What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing.” Then, Mu Sijue said lightly in a business manner, “Make this place clear. If the police come, don’t let them find anything wrong.”

“No problem!” With that, Auston suddenly felt that something was wrong and looked at Mu Sijue curiously. “What about you? What are you going to do?”

Mu Sijue replied, “I’m going to find someone.”

Mu Sijue went to Lu Enterprises

Lu Boyan was surprised by Mu Sijue’s arrival. He postponed the upcoming meeting and asked his secretary to bring in two cups of coffee. He motioned for Mu Sijue to sit down and asked, “What’s the matter?”

He and Mu Sijue were both very particular about time. They would never meet as long as they could make it clear on the phone.

In Shen Yuechuan’s words, the time they spent on the way to each other was enough for them to deal with a lot of things.

Mu Sijue came to his office without warning, so Lu Boyan had to suspect that things might be very complicated.

Mu Sijue took a sip of the bitter black coffee and said, “Tell Jian’an not to waste her time.”

“...”

Lu Boyan was even more surprised. He thought about it carefully, and found that he had never revealed to Mu Sijue that Su Jian’an was investigating Xu Youning’s matter. Except for sending someone to sneak into Doctor Liu’s office, he had hardly intervened in it.

How did Mu Sijue find it out?

Mu Sijue noticed Lu Boyan’s confusion and smiled meaningfully. “Do you think that Jian’an can really hide the investigation from me?”

“Of course, it is on the premise that you really don’t care about Xu Youning at all.” Lu Boyan’s tone was rarely teasing. “It seems that I was wrong.”

If Mu Sijue did not care about Xu Youning at all, he would not pay attention to anything related to her anymore. No matter what Su Jian’an did for the investigation, he would not find it out.

However, Mu Sijue found it out.

Although Mu Sijue did not admit it himself, Lu Boyan was sure that Mu Sijue did not completely loosen the attachments to Xu Youning.

Lu Boyan picked up the white porcelain spoon and slowly stirred the coffee. “Do you want to know the result of Jian’an’s investigation?”

Mu Sijue knew that Su Jian’an was investigating Xu Youning’s matter, but he had an inexplicable resistance to the investigation result. He had never tried to know about it.

Now, there was no need for him to know about it.

Mu Sijue’s voice was faint, and it sounded like he did not care at all, but in fact, he perfectly hid his disappointment. “I saw Xu Youning just now. Even if I threatened her with the international criminal police, she didn’t explain it. Or maybe she had nothing to explain at all.” He looked at Lu Boyan and asked tentatively, “Jian’an has been investigating for so many days but finds nothing, right?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows. “Yes.”

Su Jian’an had been investigating for so many days, but she could not even solve the only doubt about Doctor Liu.

Mu Sijue smiled when he knew that the answer was as he had expected. “So, we misunderstood Xu Youning. She really believes in Kang Ruicheng. Let’s not waste our time.”

Lu Boyan pondered for a moment. “Are you sure?”

Mu Sijue replied without hesitation, “Yes.”

He had not been hopeful about Xu Youning. This meeting even upset him more and sobered him up.

He and Xu Youning were in opposing camps. Their previous intersection was only a dislocation of their fates.

Now that they’d both returned to their respective positions, they were destined to fight with each other.

Lu Boyan did not comfort Mu Sijue.

He had known Mu Sijue for so many years, and it was the first time that he had seen Mu Sijue’s desperate look.

Unless there was a miracle that Xu Youning came back to overthrow everything and told Mu Sijue that it was just a misunderstanding.

Otherwise, any comfort would be useless to Mu Sijue and could not make his dead heart bounce back.

“I’m going to the hospital to visit Yuechuan.”

Mu Sijue got up and left Lu Boyan’s office. His handsome face was covered with coldness, but his back looked lonely.

Lu Boyan looked at Mu Sijue’s back and suddenly thought of Xu Youning who was always carefree.

If she saw Mu Sijue’s look, would Xu Youning at least feel sorry for him?

In fact, Xu Youning could not see Mu Sijue.

On the way back, Xu Youning had been thinking that the person who had sniped at her last night should be exactly the one who tried to kill her today.

But who was it possibly?

Xu Youning thought about it casually, and countless names came to her mind.

Just then, Mu Sijue made a mistake. She clearly remembered what she had done for Kang Ruicheng, as well as who she had offended.

So now it was an embarrassment that she could make a long list after casually considering those who wanted to kill her.

Xu Youning was in a dilemma. In this case, how could she determine the suspect?

While struggling, Xu Youning suddenly found another thing.

The man who wanted to kill her had obviously sniped at her last night, especially in the hotel garden with a wide view. She had nowhere to run.

But why didn’t that person pull the trigger finally?

The killer definitely had nothing to do with Lu Boyan, for he did not take into account that it was a hotel owned by Lu Enterprises.

Today she was in the bar, and the sniper’s vision was blocked, and she could easily detect it and avoid the bullet. However, the sniper chose to pull the trigger today.

Did the sniper want to challenge a more difficult sniping? Or was it a stupid guy?

Dongzi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back and saw Xu Youning biting her fingers thoughtfully. This was her habit when she was thinking.

“Miss Xu,” Dongzi asked, “shall I send you back to the old house or somewhere else?”

“Send me back to the old house, but let’s go to Nanhua Road first.”

Xu Youning came to her senses, and her tone became as relaxed as usual, as if she were not the one who had been sniped at.

Nanhua Road was a famous delicacy street, known as a paradise for foodies. Everyone loved it.

Dongzi could not understand why Xu Youning was still in the mood to go to Nanhua Road when she had almost died.

Xu Youning noticed Dongzi’s look of confusion and explained, “When I went out, I promised Mumu that I would bring him something tasty.”

“But...” Dongzi said hesitantly, “if the person who wants to kill you doesn’t give up, it will be very dangerous for you to go to Nanhua Road.”

“There are a lot of pedestrians and patrol policemen on Nanhua Road. If he dares to take action there, I’ll send my head to him for a shot,” Xu Youning said firmly, “so stop talking and send me there.”

After buying some snacks that Mumu liked on Nanhua Road, Xu Youning returned to the old house of the Kang family.

Mumu was playing with himself in the living room. When he saw Xu Youning come back, he ran out excitedly. Upon seeing the snacks brought back by Xu Youning, he licked his lips and looked at Xu Youning eagerly. “Auntie Youning, I want to eat them!”

Xu Youning handed the snacks in her hand to Mumu and said, “They are specially for you.”

Mumu could not help cheering, “Auntie Youning, I love you! By the way, where did you and Uncle Dongzi go? Why did you come back so late?”

Xu Youning and Dongzi tacitly refused to mention what had just happened. They casually found an excuse to cover it up.

Mumu blinked his eyes and asked, “Will you go out later?”

Dongzi said ahead, “Miss Xu, leave the rest to us. You can stay at home with Mumu today.”

He was afraid that Xu Youning would be attacked again after she went out.

If something happened to Xu Youning, he could not explain it to Kang Ruicheng when the latter came back at night.

Mumu happily cheered, “Yeah! Auntie Youning can stay with me at home!”

Xu Youning touched the little boy’s head with a smile and looked at Dongzi.

Was it because Dongzi was afraid that she would be attacked again when she went out that he made the decision himself?

“He began to care about her. Did it mean that he gradually believed in her?

“Nice.

“However, there was an unknown person who wanted to kill her, which worsened her situation that had been already poor.”

Dongzi saw that Xu Youning was worried and said, “I’ll investigate what happened just now. When Brother Cheng comes back, we’ll discuss how to solve it together.”

Xu Youning nodded. “Thank you.”

Dongzi said nothing more and left the old house.

Mumu was too young to notice something wrong according to Dongzi’s obscure words. He was fully dedicated to the snacks and did not forget to share them with Xu Youning.

Xu Youning ate a piece of fried chicken but had no appetite.

Mu Sijue was utterly disappointed in her. She had to collect evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes as soon as possible and regain Mu Sijue’s trust.

Otherwise, Mu Sijue would never know the truth.
