Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning with deep and burning eyes. “If I wanted to kill you, Xu Youning, how could you escape from City G?”


  When they came back from the island at that time, Granny Xu had passed away. Xu Youning did not even see her grandmother for the last time.

  Xu Youning completely collapsed. She ran to the clubhouse and told Mu Sijue in front of everyone that she had been working undercover for Kang Ruicheng.

  Mu Sijue could not tolerate deception and betrayal most.

  Xu Youning revealed that she had offended two don’ts of Mu Sijue.

  As everyone had expected, Mu Sijue decided to kill Xu Youning.

  But in fact, Mu Sijue gave Xu Youning many ways out.

  Instead of dealing with Xu Youning immediately, he locked her in the underground secret room and let her contact Ah Guang.

  When he was going to kill Xu Youning, Mu Sijue asked Ah Guang to do it.

  Ah Guang was Mu Sijue’s most trusted subordinate. He had always dealt with this kind of thing efficiently and never made any mistakes.

  So everyone thought that Mu Sijue was determined to kill Xu Youning.

  However, only Mu Sijue knew that Xu Youning had a good relationship with Ah Guang in private. Ah Guang was reluctant to kill Xu Youning, so he would definitely give Xu Youning a chance to escape.

  Sure enough, Ah Guang did not let him down. He really let Xu Youning go.

  Later, he sent some people to chase after her, but it was just a show.

  He knew that it was impossible for them to catch up with Xu Youning. She would soon be taken away by Kang Ruicheng’s men.

  Xu Youning’s pupils contracted sharply.

  It turned out that her successful escape from City G depended entirely on Mu Sijue.

  It turned out that Mu Sijue did not want to kill her at all.

  However, there was one thing she could not figure out.

  “Mu Sijue, since you don’t want to kill me, why did you spend so much effort to imprison me so that Ah Guang hovered between your order and my life? Is that interesting?”


  Mu Sijue raised the corner of his mouth and said with a hint of self-mockery in his tone, “I spent so much effort just to make Kang Ruicheng believe in you.”


  Xu Youning was stunned, and her eyes could not help turning red.

  It turned out that Mu Sijue had long guessed that after leaving City G, she could only go back to City A to find Kang Ruicheng.

  If she left Mu Sijue unscathed, Kang Ruicheng would definitely doubt her.

  But if Mu Sijue created an illusion that she had narrowly escaped from death, after returning to Kang Ruicheng, Kang Ruicheng would at least not be too suspicious of her.

  “Mu Sijue, why did you help me?”


  Xu Youning really did not understand.

  She had clearly lied to Mu Sijue and insisted that he was the one who killed her grandmother. Why did Mu Sijue still care about her?

  Mu Sijue stared at Xu Youning and said slowly, “I want you to be alive.”


  “.……”


  Mu Sijue added, “After finding out that you worked for Kang Ruicheng, I wanted to kill you several times, but I couldn’t do it. I thought it might be because you were Jian’an’s friend.”


  “Later, I wanted to send you away to any other people. Anyway, my purpose was to destroy you. But in the end, I still took you away.

  “Xu Youning, I even thought that if you hadn’t worked for Kang Ruicheng, maybe I could forgive you. But soon, I found that I was wrong again.”


  Soon, Mu Sijue found that even if Xu Youning worked for Kang Ruicheng, he could still forgive her.

  He did not know when he started to set no bottom line for Xu Youning.

  However, Xu Youning exposed that she had been working undercover in front of so many people and firmly believed that he was the murderer of Granny Xu. Finally, he was disheartened, but he was still reluctant to kill her. He even helped her go back to Kang Ruicheng.

  If it weren’t for Xu Youning, Mu Sijue would not even have known that he could be so soft-hearted.

  The rims of Xu Youning’s eyes were hot and her heart was sore. She wanted to throw herself into Mu Sijue’s arms and tell him everything.

  However, when she thought of Kang Ruicheng’s means of killing her grandmother, she could only hold back her tears and forced a sarcastic smile. “So, thanks to you, I can survive until now. Mu Sijue, thank you.”


  Mu Sijue did not want to talk nonsense with Xu Youning anymore. He grabbed her hand and said, “Go back with me.”


  As long as Xu Youning cooperated with him, taking her away would be much more likely to be successful.

  Xu Youning shook her head. “I don’t agree. You can’t take me away.”


  Mu Sijue squinted. “Xu Youning, why?”


  “Because I’m not willing!” Xu Youning said word by word, “Mu Sijue, even if you let me go, you are still my enemy. How can I go with the person who killed my grandma?”


  Mu Sijue did not get angry. Instead, he looked at Xu Youning carefully.

  His eyes were cold and sharp. For some reason, Xu Youning was flustered, but she had to keep calm. She could not let Mu Sijue see through her.

  Mu Sijue sneered and said, “Xu Youning, do you really believe that I am the one who killed Granny Xu?”


  Xu Youning’s expression changed slightly.

  “Why did Mu Sijue ask that? What did he find out?”


  After panicking for half a second, Xu Youning forced herself to calm down. She was about to speak when there was a knock on the door, followed by a man’s voice. “Seventh Brother, Kang Ruicheng is downstairs.”


  Xu Youning fiercely pushed Mu Sijue away and said, “Just give up. I won’t go with you. As for you, it’s time to go.”


  Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning stubbornly and said, “Answer my question!”


  According to his tone, it seemed that he would not give up until he got an answer.

  Xu Youning took a deep breath and asked sarcastically, “Mu Sijue, if you are not the one who killed my grandma…… who is it?”


  Mu Sijue’s eyebrows were gradually covered with a touch of coldness, and he almost strangled Xu Youning’s neck.

  He had already told Xu Youning that he had never thought of killing her. Why was she still unwilling to tell the truth?

  Or, Su Jian’an had guessed wrong, and he was also wrong?

  Kang Ruicheng was just downstairs, so Mu Sijue could not continue the topic.

  Otherwise, if Kang Ruicheng heard them and he would not be able to take Xu Youning away today, after returning to the residence of the Kang family, Xu Youning would be in danger.

  As for the truth, he had a lot of ways to let Xu Youning say it in the future.

  Mu Sijue changed the topic. “You know that I’m repairing a memory card, don’t you?”


  “Yes,” Xu Youning said teasingly. “We couldn’t ignore the news that Brother Mu Qi released deliberately.”


  Mu Sijue said with a sneer, “I can tell you that the card is a clue left by Yunyun’s parents. It’s on me. You know best where I will put it.”


  Was he revealing the news to her?

  Why? Mu Sijue should keep the information about the memory card a secret, shouldn’t he?

  Before Xu Youning could come up with an answer, the door of the ward was kicked open, and Kang Ruicheng strode in with a gloomy face. “Mu Sijue!”


  Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning to himself and firmly wrapped his long arm around her waist. He looked at Kang Ruicheng calmly. “What’s the matter?”


  “Let go of A Ning!”


  Kang Ruicheng shouted and suddenly pulled out his gun, aiming it at Mu Sijue.

  Xu Youning was stunned and was subconsciously eager to stand before Mu Sijue.

  Fortunately, she calmed down in time and restrained that stupid idea.

  She had told Kang Ruicheng more than once that Mu Sijue was her enemy.

  Once she stood out to protect Mu Sijue with her body, all her previous efforts would be in vain.

  Fortunately, Mu Sijue’s men reacted quickly. In the next second, they pulled out their guns and aimed them at Kang Ruicheng’s head, shouting, “Kang Ruicheng, put down your gun!”


  The two groups of people in the corridor were also confronting each other. The atmosphere was like a taut string, and danger was on the verge.

  Mumu looked at Xu Youning in confusion, and then at Kang Ruicheng. “Wow—” He burst into tears, holding the leg of the young man who was aiming his gun at Kang Ruicheng. “Sir, please don’t hurt my daddy.”


  The man did not even take a look at Mumu, and the muzzle was still aimed at Kang Ruicheng.

  Mumu cried even harder, and his tender face was covered with tears.

  “Mumu.”


  Xu Youning felt distressed. She wanted to hug Mumu, but Mu Sijue’s arms around her waist like a cast iron. She could not get rid of him at all.

  “Auntie Youning……” Mumu cried, and he wanted to look for Xu Youning, but he was afraid that Kang Ruicheng would get hurt. He held the leg of the strange man tightly, and the more he cried, the more desperate he became.

  Xu Youning glanced at everyone here and said, “This is a hospital. If the standoff between you continues, someone will call the police soon. Put down the guns!”


  Mu Sijue’s men shouted, “Tell Kang Ruicheng to put down his gun first!”


  Kang Ruicheng stared at Mu Sijue. “You let go of A Ning first!”


  Xu Youning struggled. Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue let go of her.

  She had no time to think about it carefully. She grabbed Kang Ruicheng’s gun, picked up Mumu, and wiped away the tears on the little boy’s face. “It’s okay. Don’t cry. They are just playing games.”


  “No, they’re fighting.” Mumu threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms and asked in tears, “Auntie Youning, why do adults like fighting?”


  Xu Youning did not know how to explain. She stroked Mumu’s head and inadvertently looked in Mu Sijue’s eyes, only to find that Mu Sijue was staring at her.

  Mu Sijue was very surprised to find that Xu Youning could also be “gentle”, but just before that little guy.

  No matter how cute the little boy was, he could not like him.

  However, it seemed to be time for him to consider having a few children in the future.

  How many children they would have…… depended on Xu Youning’s mood?

  “Mu Sijue, no matter what you came here for, leave now!” Kang Ruicheng stared at Mu Sijue gloomily. “You don’t want us to have a fight here, do you?”


  Mu Sijue did not answer, but looked at Xu Youning.

  While holding Mumu in her arms, Xu Youning nimbly hid behind Kang Ruicheng to avoid Mu Sijue’s gaze.

  She felt as if she had been seen through by Mu Sijue. She did not know how to face him.

  Seeing Xu Youning’s action, Mu Sijue’s face suddenly darkened.

  Since she liked to hide behind Kang Ruicheng so much, he would make her unable to stay with Kang Ruicheng anymore!

  Mu Sijue walked out. When he passed by Xu Youning, he stopped and gave her a meaningful look. “Don’t forget what I told you.”


  When he walked out of the ward, sure enough, Kang Ruicheng followed him out.

  “Mu Sijue,” Kang Ruicheng shouted at Mu Sijue. “What did you say to A Ning?”


  Mu Sijue looked back and asked coldly, “Why don’t you go back and ask her?”


  “What on earth did you came for?” Kang Ruicheng stared at Mu Sijue gloomily. “Do you want to take A Ning away? Ha, A Ning can’t be willing to do that!”


  Mu Sijue laughed and said, “If I really want to take her away, it doesn’t matter whether she is willing or not.”


  The implication was that in terms of taking Xu Youning away, it was not Xu Youning’s opinion but his will that mattered.

  “Mu Sijue, don’t be too arrogant.” Kang Ruicheng emphasized word by word, “I won’t give you any chance.”


  “It’s “It’s too late.” Mu Sijue said with determination, “Kang Ruicheng, since you sent her to me, she has been already mine.
