A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 888 - Kang Ruicheng Seized the Initiative



Chapter 888 Kang Ruicheng Seized the Initiative

The wind was getting stronger and the snow was falling more and more fiercely as if it was going to cover the entire mountain.

Xu Youning stood in the snow and felt that the situation was in a mess.

She did not know what had happened, nor did she know how it had come to this…

After Xu Youning went out, Mu Sijue went upstairs and entered the study.

When the computer was turning on, Mu Sijue walked to the French windows and saw Xu Youning standing still at the door like a statue.

In normal times, he could turn a blind eye to it or even simply ignore it.

But now, it was windy and snowing outside. Moreover, Xu Youning was pregnant.

Mu Sijue took his phone and directly dialed Xu Youning’s number. “I’m watching you. Come back, or I’ll go downstairs to you.”

Xu Youning looked back and saw Mu Sijue’s slender and charming figure. He was standing in front of the French windows on the second floor.

She did not know whether to tell Mu Sijue that the child had once been diagnosed as having no vital signs by Doctor Liu.

If she told him about it, the blood clot in her brain would stay hidden, would it?

Since Xu Youning didn’t reply for a long time, Mu Sijue said with a hint of displeasure in his low voice, “Xu Youning, is there something wrong with your hearing?”

“There’s something wrong with your hearing!” Xu Youning satirized him back. “I told you, I’m going to Jian’an’s house!”

“I only saw you standing still at the door.” Mu Sijue paused and then continued, “So, is there something wrong with your moving ability?”

Xu Youning rolled her eyes at Mu Sijue, hung up the phone, and went to Su Jian’an’s house.

Xiangyi finally fell asleep, but Su Jian’an still did not dare to carry her back to the children’s room. She just held her in her arms and gently patted her tender shoulder so as to let her sleep in peace.

The little girl’s breathing gradually grew more and more steady, and it didn’t seem like she would wake up anytime soon.

Su Jian’an was finally relieved and whispered to Luo Xiaoxi, “Go and check in on Youning. I’ll take Xiangyi back to her room.”

“Okay.”

Luo Xiaoxi got up and then saw Xu Youning as soon as she went out.

Sure enough, Xu Youning’s eyes were red. She had obviously cried.

Luo Xiaoxi walked over and held Xu Youning’s hand. “Let’s go inside and talk.”

When they entered the room, Su Jian’an also came downstairs after settling Xiangyi down.

Seeing Xu Youning’s red eyes, Su Jian’an suddenly had a bad feeling that she had to coax a big girl after coaxing a little girl to sleep.

Luo Xiaoxi pulled Xu Youning to sit down and poured her a glass of warm water. She asked softly, “Youning, are you okay?”

Xu Youning’s eyes felt hot, and tears came out of her eyes like magic.

Su Jian’an rushed over and took out two pieces of tissue to wipe away Xu Youning’s tears.

In fact, Su Jian’an was also reluctant to part with Mumu. However, Mumu did not mean the same to her as to Xu Youning.

She still had Xiyu and Xiangyi. After Mumu was sent away, she would be distracted by the two little guys soon.

But Mumu was to Xu Youning what Xiyu and Xiangyi was to her.

Su Jian’an put herself in Xu Youning’s shoes and thought that if Xiyu and Xiangyi suddenly left her, she would probably collapse immediately.

Su Jian’an suddenly understood what Xu Youning was feeling now. She comforted her and said, “Youning, Mumu is home. You still have Sijue.”

“Mu Sijue will only order me not to be sad.” Xu Youning said, “Mu Sijue is a bastard!”

“Sijue is back?” Su Jian’an looked confused. “Then why was he willing to let you come here?”

“…” Xu Youning looked at Su Jian’an also in confusion. “What do you mean?”

Su Jian’an coughed and touched her face to disguise her embarrassment. “Nothing! Now… Sijue is probably not in the mood. He should be busy bringing Aunt Zhou back…”

“…”

Looking at Su Jian’an’s unnatural look, Xu Youning finally understood what Su Jian’an meant. However, no matter whether Su Jian’an was serious or joking, she was not in the mood to cooperate with Su Jian’an.

She came here for something serious.

“Jian’an, I had a discussion with Mumu last night.” Xu Youning said, “Mumu promised me that he would protect Auntie Tang.”

Luo Xiaoxi raised her hand to show her curiosity. “Youning, what did you say to Mumu?”

Xu Youning told her the truth. “I told Mumu that Auntie Tang is the babies’ grandmother.”

“By the way, Xiangyi just cried very hard.” Luo Xiaoxi said, half-jokingly, “Could it be that Xiangyi is reluctant to part with Mumu?”

Su Jian’an did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Xiangyi is so young. How could she understand Mumu’s goodbye?” Then she checked the time and said, “I wonder if Mumu is home now.”

After that, Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi both turned to look at Xu Youning.

Xu Youning asked ignorantly, “Why are you looking at me?”

Luo Xiaoxi made a reasonable analysis. “Ah Guang is in charge of sending Mumu away, and his boss is Boss Mu. Then, Boss Mu’s boss is you. According to this logic, if you want to know whether Mumu is home or not, you can contact Boss Mu. Then we will know!”

Xu Youning noticed that there was a loophole in Luo Xiaoxi’s words, but before she figured it out, Luo Xiaoxi had interrupted her and urged, “Youning, call Boss Mu now.”

Xu Youning had no choice but to call Mu Sijue.

The call kept ringing, but there was no answer.

Xu Youning found it strange.

Mu Sijue was in the study, and his phone should be right beside him. Why did he not answer the call?

Moreover, it was from her!

Could there have been an accident?

Su Jian’an noticed the change in Xu Youning’s expression and vaguely guessed the situation. She reminded, “Sijue might be busy, or he may not have heard it. Let’s try again.”

Luo Xiaoxi was both confused and curious, so she asked Su Jian’an, “How do you know that Boss Mu didn’t answer the phone?”

Su Jian’an held her chin with one hand and said leisurely, “When Boyan didn’t answer my phone before, I had the same expression. Well, at this time, an internal monologue would say: ‘He doesn’t even answer my phone?!'”

Luo Xiaoxi looked at Xu Youning and asked, “Youning, is that true?”

Xu Youning coughed with a guilty conscience and changed the subject. “I’ll try again.”

She dialed for the second time, and Mu Sijue finally answered the call on the last ring and said, “I’m going to find Ah Guang. If you have anything to say, wait for me to come back.”

Ah Guang was in charge of sending Mumu away and bringing Aunt Zhou back.

Since Mu Sijue was suddenly leaving to find Ah Guang, something bad must have happened.

Xu Youning was about to ask what had happened, Mu Sijue had hung up the phone.

In fact, there was no need to ask. Mu Sijue’s leaving was enough to show that the problem was not simple.

Something must have been out of their control.

Upon seeing Xu Youning’s look, Su Jian’an suddenly had a bad feeling. She sat closer to Xu Youning and asked, “Youning, what did Sijue say to you?”

Xu Youning shook her head. Her anxiety made her tone be somewhat weak. “Mu Sijue came back to deal with something, but he just left again. He didn’t even have time to tell me what was going on.”

How big a deal it was to make Mu Sijue leave in such a hurry?

Su Jian’an took the phone and said, “I’ll send a message to Boyan.”

If it were in the past, Lu Boyan would reply to Su Jian’an as soon as possible.

But this time, after a long time, there was still no message from Lu Boyan.

Su Jian’an put down her phone and looked down. She did not speak for a long time.

A strong sense of unease was spreading in Xu Youning’s heart. If it weren’t for some scruples, she wasn’t sure that she could resist going to Kang Ruicheng on impulse.

Su Jian’an saw through Xu Youning’s intention and remembered that Lu Boyan had told her to pay attention to Xu Youning and not let her do anything stupid.

Sure enough, at the critical moment, she still had to keep Lu Boyan’s words in mind.

Su Jian’an pressed Xu Youning’s hand and motioned for her to calm down. “Youning, let’s wait and figure out what’s going on first. The current situation can’t be worse. We have to believe that Boyan and Sijue can handle it.”

Xu Youning nodded and slowly calmed down.

In fact, she could guess what was going on.

The fact was almost the same as Xu Youning’s guess.

Mu Sijue and Kang Ruicheng had agreed to exchange hostages in a remote abandoned factory area in the suburbs.

It seemed that this deal was open and fair, and it would not go wrong.

What’s more, Mu Sijue had repeatedly warned Ah Guang to be careful of Kang Ruicheng.

During the exchange, there were indeed no accidents. But something went wrong afterward.

After taking over Aunt Zhou, Ah Guang immediately asked someone to take her into the car, then he got in the car too and left quickly.

Aunt Zhou’s hands were tied up, and her mouth was also sealed with a strip of yellow tape. Ah Guang first untied the rope and then tore off the tape.

Only then did Ah Guang find something wrong with Aunt Zhou.

When he was in City G, he often went to eat in the old house of the Mu family. Occasionally, when he was picky about the meals, Aunt Zhou would scold him without hesitation.

However, now, “Aunt Zhou” did not even dare to look him in the eyes.

Ah Guang quickly understood and asked, “You’re not Aunt Zhou?”

The old woman didn’t answer and just avoided Ah Guang’s eyes.

Ah Guang reached out and really took off a human-skin mask from her face.

Under the mask was a face completely different from that of Aunt Zhou.

The person who made this mask was a master. If it weren’t for the old woman who dared not look him in the eyes, Ah Guang would not even suspect that she was not Aunt Zhou.

Lu Boyan was right. Kang Ruicheng would really go back on his word.

Ah Guang asked furiously, “Who are you?”

The old woman said in a trembling voice, “My… my son works for that person. He said that my son did not do a good job, and if I did not comply with his request, he would kill my son. Young man, I do not know what happened at all.”

Ah Guang landed a punch on the leather seat of the car and ordered the driver to turn the car around and to chase after Kang Ruicheng.

However, Kang Ruicheng’s men had already left in different directions. He did not know which direction to go.

Ah Guang could only contact Kang Ruicheng and Lu Boyan. He had no time to apologize and directly explained the situation.

Lu Boyan also reacted quickly. He went to the police station to get the surveillance video and arranged for some people to intercept them. But it was unknown when Kang Ruicheng had taken another car. Kang Ruicheng and Mumu were not in the cars they had successfully stopped.

Things were completely out of their control. They had sent Mumu back but failed to get Aunt Zhou back.

Perhaps Kang Ruicheng had never intended to return Aunt Zhou to them from the very beginning.

Kang Ruicheng just wanted to take Mumu back and weaken their bargain chips to negotiate with him.

This time, Lu Boyan had to admit that Kang Ruicheng had completely seized the initiative.
