For people with good physical fitness, they are still very fragile when they get sick occasionally. Wen Li is this kind of person. She just had a fever, but she still struggled for two days and one night. During these two days, she fell asleep, but there was a lot of commotion outside.
First, Mu Kuiyuan helped his son surrender to the police station and admitted the fact that Mu Kun killed Wen Yanxing. However, the murderer Mu Kun was already dead, and the police still conducted corresponding investigations into this shocking case.
Lei Yuan's research institute was bombed. Mu Kun, the murderer, wanted to threaten Lei Yuan to take out the chip but was killed by the bomb he planted. The entire research institute was in a sea of fire and burned completely. However, according to Lei Yuan, all important information and data were backed up, so there was no big loss.
When Dr. Wen died tragically, Mu relied on his original energy chip and made a comeback and became the largest technology company at that time. At that time, some people in the industry had already raised doubts. Dr. Wen once said that original energy chips would be donated to the country. Why did he not do so in the end but instead was given to the Mu.
Back then, some people suspected that Mu's method of obtaining the chip was not very formal and that it might have something to do with Dr. Wen's death. However, there was no evidence. The Mu family had transfer documents in hand.
Soon the matter faded away as time went by, and no one mentioned it again, but people in the industry who admired Dr. Wen still remembered him.
Now that many years have passed, Mu wants to use the same methods as before to snatch the energy chip from Lei Yuan again, which inevitably caused quite a stir.
Many famous people in the industry gathered at the entrance of the police station. Mu Kun was dead, but too many people demanded a thorough investigation of Mu Kuiyuan.
It was a different matter since the children of the Mu family were still young at that time, but Mu Kuiyuan would not have been unaware of this matter at that time, and even more so when rumors spread that Wen Yanxing and Mu Kuiyuan were teenage friends.
For the sake of profit, he allowed his son to kill his friend, and yet he enjoyed so much glory and wealth in peace and contentment. Such a person must pay the price.
As a result, the voices investigating Mu Kuiyuan became louder and louder, and more and more people gathered.
With such a reputation, Mu's stock price has naturally fallen again. Banks have refused to lend money. Companies that used to cooperate with Mu have terminated their contracts, fearing that this public opinion war will affect them.
The commotion outside did not affect Wen Li lying in the hotel apartment at all.
The bright room was filled with a medicinal smell. The curtains were half-opened to let in the bright sunlight. Two people were lying on the surprisingly large semi-circular bed, between the bedding with off-white silk patterns.
The man was tall and slender, with his eyes closed and holding the pink-carved little girl in his arms. Half of the man's face sank into the white bed. He was so handsome, and the slightly raised eyes were God's most delicate handiwork.
When the electronic clock next to the bed showed half past seven, the little girl in the man's arms opened her eyes.
Wen Li was still in a daze when she woke up. She had slept in a daze for the past two days, but she could also feel that she had a fever.
What came into view was a chest of strong muscles. A pair of iron arms wrapped around Wen Li's waist to tightly hold her in his arms. She moved slightly, and the hands around her waist tightened.
At the same time, the man opened his eyes, without the confused look of a person who had just woken up, and his eyes were clear.
He looked at the little girl in his arms who opened her eyes, with surprise in her eyes, "Are you awake?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head, and their foreheads touched each other. Compared to the boiling heat of the previous two days, the temperature of her forehead had now dropped.
"The fever is gone." Fu Yuxiu let go, tucked the broken hair behind her ears, and asked softly, "Get up if you are awake, okay? Eat something to regain your strength."
Wen Li is still a little confused now. This series of intimate actions of the man raising his hands and lowering his head seemed to her like she was in a dream.
When she was so hot, she always felt a pair of cool hands touch her forehead. More importantly, she seemed to be hugging something very cold and refused to let go.
Now looking at it this way, could this very cold thing be...
Seeing her staring blankly at him, Fu Yuxiu pinched her cheek with his fingertips, "Why are you so stupid? Is our little girl still so sleepy after two days of sleep?"
Wen Li caught the keywords in his sentence, "I slept for two days?"
"Yes." The man lifted the quilt and got out of bed, standing by the bed while stepping on his shoes and looking at her. His robes were loose, and the belt around his waist tied the robe around the man's waist in a messy manner, and even his short hair was a little messy.
The man looked coquettish and sexy now, and his movements were very seductive.
"Lie down and I'll make porridge for you." The man covered her with the quilt thoughtfully.
Wen Li glanced sideways at the mobile phone placed beside the bed. She hadn't heard any sound in the past two days. She rubbed her temples and took the mobile phone. After turning it on, she dialed Xia Chen's number.
There was one ring and the call was picked up quickly.
"Boss!" Xia Chen's excited voice came from the mobile phone, "Are you healed?"
"What have you been doing these two days?" Wen Li's voice was still a little hoarse.
Xia Chen thought for a moment, "I'm following up on the Mu family's situation. Today is Mu Kun's funeral."
The people over there didn't say anything, and Xia Chen wasn't sure what the boss meant, so he could only explain.
"Boss, it's not that I don't want to take care of you, it's just that I really can't get in."
Xia Chen felt frustrated when he thought of this. He received a call from the man two days ago, and he could feel the frightening pressure through the phone.
The man said that the boss was sick and asked him not to come over and disturb him for the next two days. He was asked to keep an eye on the Mu family.
As soon as Xia Chen heard that the boss was sick, he jumped to the hotel apartment but was blocked by Feiran at the elevator entrance.
Feiran said that their young master would personally take care of Miss Wen Li and told him not to go over and join in the fun, so Xia Chen couldn't even see Wen Li after she was sick for two days.
"Boss, I'll come over now." Xia Chen cheered.
He couldn't make the final decision about the Mu family's affairs, so he still had to listen to his boss. In addition, Pan and Lillian called him every day to ask about his boss's situation, which almost annoyed him to death.
"No, I'll be out in a moment. Wait for me at the door of Mu's house." Wen Li hung up the phone.
A faint smell of rice soon came from the kitchen. Wen Li lifted the quilt and got out of bed. When she walked out of the room, she saw the man working in the kitchen.
The tall man stood in front of the stove, lowering his head and stirring the pot seriously. He had a strong back, and his back alone could charm many women.
She still remembered that she subconsciously hugged his waist before she lost consciousness, and she also remembered that the man said a lot of things in her ear.
"I've been waiting for a long time, I thought you would pounce on me." Fu Yuxiu turned around and looked at the little girl standing at the door.
Wen Li withdrew her gaze from him and stood at the door without speaking.
"Go over and wait. You haven't eaten much in the past two days. Drink some porridge and then have a good rest." Fu Yuxiu came over and led the person to sit down.
The man turned on the TV for her, but after changing several channels, the news that was playing about the Mu family was already being broadcast throughout Ningzhou.
He obviously didn't want to expose her to the news, and in the end, the channel on TV was the most popular cartoon at the moment.
"Watch TV and wait for me."
Wen Li glanced at the TV and refused coldly, "I don't watch this."
The man stood up and gently rubbed her head with his palm, "Kids should watch this and be obedient. I'll give you a cake later."
After saying this, the man took the remote control to the kitchen. If she wanted to change the channel, she could only go to the TV, or command by voice. Wen Li was too lazy to move or speak.
The whole person was lazily leaning on the sofa while the three rabbits jumping around on the TV screen.
When Fei Ran delivered the fruit to the door, he saw their young master working seriously in the kitchen, while the little girl in the living room was leisurely and contented, sitting on the sofa and watching TV.
He glanced sideways, and the corner of his mouth twitched when he saw two rabbits pulling carrots together.
Miss Wen Li's preferences are really unique, and it's hard for the young master to pamper her.
Fu Yuxiu brought her a bowl of porridge and then brought her washed fruits.
After taking care of it for the past two days, he consciously stirred the porridge in the bowl, blew it to cool down and put it to the girl's mouth.
"Eat."
Wen Li vaguely seemed to remember the way she was half lying on the man's chest while he fed her water and food. The man lowered his head and coaxed her in her ear, word by word.
"I'll do it myself." She raised her hand and took the bowl.
The man curled his lips, rubbed her head, and watched the little one eat.
Wen Li took a taste and found that the porridge tasted pretty good. It was thick and full of rice flavor. It was perfect for a patient like her who had been lying in bed for two days.
"Have you taken care of me these two days?" Wen Li asked, biting her spoon.
Fu Yuxiu sat next to her, peeling apples for her with his slender fingers, "Yeah."
Wen Li looked at the clothes she was wearing. This was not the outfit she wore when she came back.
"Who changed my clothes?"
The man's fingertips paused slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at the little girl, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Who do you think changed it?"
Wen Li didn't have a very deep memory of the bathing part, but she frowned when she saw the smile on the man's handsome face.
"What are you thinking about?" He lightly tapped her forehead with his fingertips, "I would like to change it for you, but I won't touch you until I get your permission."
This little guy is pretty good at getting angry. He finally managed to seduce someone, and she's not so defensive about him anymore.
He wasn't stupid. Touching her now would push her away.
"I called a female nurse to change it for you."
Wen Li had been lying in bed for two days, and her appetite was quite good. She finished a bowl of porridge in a short time.
The man took a tissue to wipe her mouth, but his fingertips touched her soft lips intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes darkened.
Wen Li got up and went back to the room to change clothes. After lying down for several days, she still had to get up and stretch her muscles.
After buttoning the last button and coming out, Wen Li raised her eyes and saw a man standing in the living room with his upper body bare. He was holding a shirt in one hand, a pair of black trousers on his lower body, and wearing slippers on the carpet.
This man was originally tall. Although he was not in good health, he exercised diligently. He also had wide shoulders and a narrow waist. His well-defined abdominal muscles appeared faintly with his breathing movements. Wen Li could clearly see his waist.
Ambiguous and sexy.
It looked like it was scratched by fingernails. Thinking of this, she looked down at her hands.
"Does it look familiar to you?" The man teased her with ambiguous eyes, "You held me in your arms and refused to let go when you fell asleep. You didn't even want me to change my clothes and so you dragged me hard, leaving so many marks."
She didn't know when the man had arrived in front of her. Their toes were touching and they were wearing slippers of the same color, white.
"Baby, are you destroying my innocence?" He hugged the person in front of him with both hands. The shirt he put on was unbuttoned, and his chest was facing Wen Li's nose.
The roots of her ears were a little red, but she still argued, "That's because you're cold."
This man was naturally rebellious and in poor health. His body was still cold even on the hottest days of summer. She was burning with fever at that time, so it was normal for her to hold him like an ice cube and not let go.
"Besides, if I'm holding you, you can just push me away and walk away, and let someone else take care of me."
The man lowered his head, put his handsome face close to her ear, and whispered, "I can't bear it."
If he was really willing to let her go, he wouldn't have been looking for her for so many years.
The room was silent. Wen Li was held by him and he whispered in her ears. The tips of her ears turned red and she had no choice but to push him away.
......
Mu Kun's funeral was held grandly. Due to public opinion, the Mu family declined all related media. The funeral was attended by more people who were close to the Mu family.
Lu Xue fainted from crying and fainted twice. The family doctor accompanied her and took care of her. The guests who came to attend the funeral were full of curiosity.
Both Old Mr. Mu and Mu Nuanxi attended the funeral in wheelchairs. They looked unhappy. Mu Nuanxi even had a bandage on her forehead, while Mu Jing'an's daughter and Old Mr. Mu's granddaughter looked crazy.
The Mu family arranged for three or four servants to watch, but Li Mengluo was still noisy and delirious. There were already rumors in the outside world that Li Mengluo was crazy.
The young master of the Zhou family, who was originally engaged to Li Mengluo, has also terminated his engagement to the Li family. At first, many people did not believe that this person was crazy even if he said she was crazy. Now it seems that this is true.
It was obvious that the entire Mu family attended the Nan family dinner in well-dressed clothes, and the whole family was in harmony, but why did they go crazy and die in just one week? The Mu family must have offended someone and suffered a sudden disaster.
The most important thing is that the people searched twice at the funeral but they did not see the legendary third lady.
This is strange. After all, it is Mu Kun's funeral, and the third daughter of the Mu family did not participate in the whole process.
After Mu Kun's ashes were sent to Mu ground, the Mu family also returned home. Li Mengluo was noisy at the moment, and Mu Jing'an stayed with her daughter and didn't care about anything else.
Lu Xue sat next to Mu Nuanxi and had long since lost the energy to speak.
"Go back and rest, life has to go on." Mu Kuiyuan looked at the situation in the entire living room.
He also had mixed feelings in his heart. What used to be a good family has now become like this.
These are all good, healthy children, and one by one they have become like this.
Mu Chenxing pushed Mu Nuanxi upstairs, and Aunt Ruan hurriedly rushed in from the door.
"Sir, the police are here."
Mu Kuiyuan's face was expressionless. In the past two days, because of Mu Kun's incident, three or four waves of police officers had come to Mu's house. He even went to the police station twice for questioning.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
"Let them in."
Mu Chenxing pushed Mu Nuanxi back to the old man's side.
Five policemen came in, their uniforms neat and straight. After entering, they looked around and the leader came to Mu Kuiyuan first.
"Captain Lin, do you have anything else to ask?" Mu Chenyu stepped forward and spoke.
Captain Lin nodded slightly to Mu Kuiyuan, and his eyes fell on Mu Nuanxi in the wheelchair. Lu Xue's expression changed and she turned pale with shock.
"Miss Mu Nuanxi, we have obtained enough evidence. You illegally purchased micro bombs from underground organizations and deliberately wanted to kill people. Now you are arrested in accordance with the law." Captain Lin explained the facts to Mu Nuanxi.
"It's impossible. My daughter didn't do it. Did Wen Li come to find you? She made a false accusation!" Lu Xue rushed over to protect her daughter and glared at the police.
Her husband is gone, now even her daughter has to be included.
"Captain Lin, have you made a mistake?" Mu Chenyu also stepped forward with a solemn look on his face.
This charge is no joke. The charge of illegally trading dangerous explosives is no joke.
"We have obtained enough evidence, please cooperate with our work." Captain Lin raised his hand as he spoke, and the police officer behind him pulled Lu Xue away twice.
A pair of silver handcuffs cuffed Mu Nuanxi's hands.
"Mom, Grandpa!!" she cried, "Help me, I didn't!! I didn't do anything like that!!"
She desperately grabbed the hands of her mother and brother, like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
Mu Chenyu and Lu Xue held on to Mu Nuanxi's hand, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
"Officer Lin." Mu Chenyu looked at the stern-faced man in front of him.
"Mr. Mu, everyone we caught has pointed Miss Mu Nuanxi. Her bank account shows that she also transferred a sum of money to the underground organization. All the evidence is clear."
Eight micro-bombs, he was scared when he thought about them now. Fortunately, only two of them exploded. If they had all exploded, let alone the University of Science and Technology, the entire east side of the city would have become a sea of flames.
The eldest lady of the Mu family is really brave.
But her bomb killed her father. Is this considered retribution?
"Please cooperate with our work." Officer Lin said.
All the police officers worked together to pull Mu Nuanxi out from the protection of Mu Chenxing and Lu Xue, and took him away amidst Mu Nuanxi's cries.
"What a sin!" Mu Kuiyuan slapped his hand heavily on the wheelchair.
Lu Xue wiped her tears and turned back, looking at the old man fiercely, "If it weren't for you, how could we be like this? It was you who had to bring Wen Li back! If you didn't bring her back, none of this will happen, you are the culprit!
"Mom, don't be like this." Mu Chenyu pulled Lu Xue, "You are tired, I will take you up to rest."
"Don't hold me back, I'm going to say something right today!" Lu Xue raised her finger and pointed at Mu Kuiyuan's nose and cursed, "You old guy, you talk so much about benevolence, justice, and morality, but you are actually the worst kind of person. You know about the feud between the Mu family and Wen Li. When she grows up, she knows about her grandfather's with her hatred how could she easily let the Mu family go! But you have illusions and always think she will become a member of the Mu family. Wake up! How can a mouse and a cat become a family! If you didn't take her back, nothing would have happened, and Nuan Xi wouldn't have been forced to a dead end. You killed my husband and my daughter, take my life too!"
Lu Xue had completely collapsed and fell to the ground crying, "Mu Kun, how could you do this to me and leave me alone? Why don’t you take away your murderous father but you want to take away my Nuan Xi..."
Lu Xue's cries pierced Mu Kuiyuan's heart, and he grabbed the armrests of the wheelchair so hard that veins popped out on the back of his hands.
"Miss Cousin, don't be like this, come down quickly." The servant called anxiously to Li Mengluo, who was standing on the dining table.
"I'm going to fly, don't stop me. If I can fly, Nan Sheng will definitely like me. I can take him to fly with me!" Li Mengluo stood on the dining table with an intoxicated expression.
Mu Kuiyuan closed his eyes as if he were startled, and when he opened them again, he saw the black and white photo of Mu Kun who had just been carried back.
"Old man," Mu Ting said with concern, "Don't pay attention to what the madam says, she is too sad."
"Push me to the room. I want to be alone."
Mu Ting obediently pushed Mu Kuiyuan into the room, poured him a glass of water and put it at hand.
"Get out." Mu Kuiyuan said.
Mu Ting looked at the old man and knew that he was really sad, and his madam's words were really too much.
"Then I'll be outside the door. If you need anything, call me."
Mu Ting exited the room and looked at Mu Kuiyuan, who had aged more overnight. He sighed and closed the door.
The pain of losing a child, a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person, is something that many people can bear.
The whole room was empty except for Mu Kuiyuan. He struggled to get up, walked slowly to the cabinet next to the bed, and took out a box.
The black box was opened, and two letters were placed inside. It looked like it had been a long time, and the paper had turned yellow.
The signature at the bottom belongs to Wen Yanxing.
"I have failed so much in my life. Yan Xing, I have been competing with you for half my life. I never thought it would end in this way."
Mu Kuiyuan touched one of the photos with his fingertips, and the smiles of the three people on it were still vivid in his mind.
"Compared to you, my life is a joke."
Mu Kuiyuan's old face was deathly silent. Back then, he tried his best to save the Mu family but betrayed his friends. In fact, he thought, if he had not turned a blind eye and chose not to conceal Mu Kun's killing of Wen Yanxing, would everything happen today?
The children he took care of and taught became paranoid and crazy one by one, and they would resort to any means to achieve their goals and eventually, they paid the price. As a parent, he had an unshirkable responsibility.
Lu Xue's every words struck a chord in his mind. He tried to whitewash the situation, hoping that everything would develop in the direction he imagined, but in the end, he failed miserably.
"If it were you, you might have made different choices than I did back then, but these are just speculations. I'll go down and atone for my sins. Now if you see me, don't be cold-hearted. No matter what had happened, you will still be able to talk to me calmly."
Some people's temperaments remain unchanged even after several years.
Mu Kuiyuan has met Wen Xuqian and his wife, and only after understanding Wen Yanxing's temperament will he understand why Wen Xuqian always has a smile on his face.
There are always people who will inherit that kind of character and continue that kind of blood tradition.
Mu Ting stood at the door, feeling very complicated when thinking about what happened at home in the past two days.
"Bang!!"
A gunshot was heard from inside the door, alarming everyone who was still noisy in the living room.
Mu Ting quickly turned around and opened the door. The room was extremely quiet. Mu Kuiyuan was sitting on the sofa, holding the box in his hand, and a black pistol fell at his feet.
There was a smile on his lips, and his wide eyes were staring at the ceiling, as if he had met a long-lost friend, with a clear smile on his lips.
Wen Li and Xia Chen stood in the courtyard of Mu's house and clearly heard the gunshot.
This was followed by the hurried footsteps and shouts of servants.
"The old man committed suicide!!!"
Xia Chen looked curiously and saw that the servant was running in a hurry, and his shouting voice clearly reached the ears of the two of them.
"Let's go." Wen Li turned and left.
Xia Chen followed her footsteps, "Boss, are we not going in?"
We have just arrived at the door, why should we go?
"There's no need to go in." Wen Li got into the car at the door without looking back.
Mu Kuiyuan was dead, and no one could answer the questions she wanted to ask. There was no point in entering Mu's house again.
Showing off the fruits of victory is not what she would do.
Lei Yuan stood not far from Mu's house, watching the commotion in Mu's house through the carved iron gate. He had a smile on his face, but as he smiled, something crystal clear appeared in his eyes.
"Would you like to go in and take a look? After all, you were once friends." Xu Mingjian said.
After Mu Kun's funeral, Lei Yuan also wanted to come and see this old friend of many years, and wanted to ask him if his original belief had been shaken today.
But as soon as he arrived at the door of Mu's house, he heard the servant's cry, saying that the master had committed suicide.
"No, let's wait until his funeral." Lei Yuan held the carved iron gate.
Just like that night when it rained heavily many years ago, he stood in front of Mu's house in the rain. After many years of long-cherished wish, he finally saw Mu's decline.
"puff……"
A mouthful of scarlet liquid splashed out with his movements and sprinkled on the black door. Lei Yuan couldn't help but fall back.
"Professor!" Xu Mingjian half-knelt on the ground and hurriedly helped him.
Lei Yuan looked at the blue cloudless sky, and a smile appeared on his blood-stained lips. He seemed to see the man who always had a gentle smile again, as graceful and gentle as the moon.
"Brother Wen..."
The sun and the moon alternate a thousand times, and those who should pay the price will eventually pay the price. You must have seen it, right...
When we meet again, maybe you can smile and warm a cup of tea for me...
