Although Mu Mu does not live permanently in the Kang family's old house, he has always had his own room.
As soon as Dongzi went upstairs, he knocked directly on his door.
But no one answered inside.
Dongzi was a little puzzled.
Kang Ruicheng clearly said that Mu Mu was upstairs, but Mu Mu was not in his room.
Where else could the little one go?
After wondering for less than two seconds, an answer came to Dongzi's mind, and Dongzi looked at Xu Youning's room involuntarily -
After Xu Youning left, Kangruicheng sealed the room where Xu Youning once lived as if it were a secret. No one was allowed to enter, not even the servants responsible for cleaning.
If Xu Youning's name is a forbidden word in this family, then the room where Xu Youning lived is a forbidden place in this family.
Dongzi usually goes upstairs and doesn't even dare to look in the direction of Xu Youning's room, just to avoid angering Kang Ruicheng.
But Mu Mu...he had the guts to go in without saying hello.
Anyway, he dared to come back from the United States without authorization.
Dongzi thought as he walked to Xu Youning's door.
He knocked on the door, and Mu Mu's slightly childish voice soon came out——
"who?"
"Mumu," Dongzi responded, "it's me."
Mu Mu quickly opened the door, stuck her head out and looked at Dongzi in confusion: "Uncle Dongzi, do you have anything to do with me?"
"Can I come in?" Dongzi pointed to the room behind Mumu, "I have something to ask you."
"Well." Mumu opened the door, "Come in."
As soon as Dongzi entered the door, he couldn't help but look around the whole room.
Kangruicheng doesn't allow cleaning ladies to come in at all, but this place is surprisingly clean and spotless.
This is very strange.
Mu Mu didn't notice Dongzi's abnormality. Her dark eyes were full of curiosity and asked: "Uncle Dongzi, what do you want to ask me?"
As for why Xu Youning's room can be kept so clean - an unlikely but very reasonable guess flashed through Dongzi's mind.
If that's really the case, it's not only strange, but incredible.
However, this issue is not suitable to be discussed with Mu Mu.
Dongzi said calmly: "Mumu, please sit down first. I have a few questions to ask you."
"Oh." Mu Mu sat down on the sofa obediently, swaying her long legs leisurely, looking innocent and harmless.
Dongzi first asked a sincere question: "Mumu, actually, your dad cares about Aunt Youning very much."
Mu Mu looked unsuspecting, nodded, and said innocently: "I also care about Aunt Youning."
"I know." Dongzi pondered for a while and then continued calmly, "If Aunt Youning's condition has not improved, Mu Sijue will probably help her find a doctor. What do you think?"
"Well, that's right!" Mu Mu nodded with certainty, "Uncle Mu hired a doctor for Aunt Youning, and he is a very powerful doctor!"
Dongzi seemed to have seen the dawn of victory and hurriedly asked: "Who is it?"
"Uncle Song!" Mu Mu tilted her head and thought, "Uncle Song's name seems to be...Song Jiqing!"
"..."
The answer was far beyond Dongzi's expectation.
Song Jiqing is one of Xu Youning's attending doctors. He has already found this out and does not need Mu Mu to tell him.
What he wanted to know was whether Mu Sijue hired a new doctor for Xu Youning or formed a new medical team.
However, Mu Mu looked like he didn't know much.
Dongzi still refused to give up and asked: "Besides Song Jiqing, does Aunt Youning have no other doctor?"
"Hmm..." Mu Mu thought for a while, then started counting with her fingers, "There are also Sister Ye Luo, and there are many nurse sisters. Uh-huh, and..."
"Okay." Dongzi interrupted Mumu, "I understand."
"...Oh." Mu Mu looked like she didn't know what she had done wrong, and asked innocently, "Then can I sleep?"
"Take a shower and go to bed." Dongzi got up and walked out, "Good night."
"Good night, Uncle Dongzi."
Mumu's voice sounded extremely well-behaved. She slid off the sofa and ran to the bathroom with the clothes she had just prepared. Then she closed the bathroom door with a bang, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed.
Dongzi never would have guessed in his wildest dreams that the more he tested, the more Mumu became determined not to say anything.
Mu Mu always remembered that he promised Ye Luo not to reveal anything about Xu Youning's situation in the hospital.
He didn't know why Dongzi wanted to inquire about Xu Youning.
But he knew that Ye Luo must be protecting Xu Youning.
Therefore, between Dongzi and Yeluo, he chose the latter.
On the other side, Dongzi left Xu Youning's room and walked downstairs.
Kang Ruicheng was still sitting on the sofa, but there was a bottle of wine and a few wine glasses in front of him. He looked frowning, unlike the usual Kang Ruicheng, and he was not in his usual state.
Dongzi thought of Xu Youning's spotless room.
Is it the one who cleans Kangrui City so cleanly?
He wanted to use "Kang Ruicheng actually cares about Xu Youning" as a topic to frame Mumu's words, but he did not expect that this was not a rhetorical technique, but a fact.
Kang Ruicheng is real and he still cares about Xu Youning.
Dongzi suddenly realized that he had been wrong all along.
He thought that Kang Ruicheng would never forgive Xu Youning after being betrayed by Xu Youning.
Kang Ruicheng saw Dongzi coming down and asked directly: "How is it? What did Mu Mu say?"
Dongzi shook his head, his expression full of disappointment: "What Mu Mu said is similar to what I learned. It seems that Mu Sijue really didn't help Xu Youning hire other doctors."
"Really?" Kang Ruicheng swung the wine glass in his hand, and the corners of his lips curved in a neither yin nor yang, "I don't believe that Mu Sijue is willing to let Xu Youning lie in the hospital like this."
"But, Mu Mu did say that." Dongzi thought about it and added, "However, it is also possible that Mu Mu does not know the situation. Mu Sijue is not stupid."
"...Mumu is not stupid either." Kang Ruicheng's tone was meaningful.
This time, Dongzi really didn't understand and looked at Kang Ruicheng with confusion: "Brother Cheng, what... does this mean?"
Kang Ruicheng did not explain, but took a deep look at Dongzi.
Dongzi reacted belatedly: "Brother Cheng, you mean, Mu Mu knows, but he doesn't tell us the truth?"
Kang Ruicheng didn't answer and asked instead: "Do you think this is not possible?"
"This is possible...of course it is possible." Dongzi looked in disbelief, "But, it's too incredible."
Mu Mu is just a five-year-old child, how could she have the consciousness to protect Xu Youning?
The thoughts of adults are deep, complicated and difficult to understand. How could Mumu, a five-year-old child, possibly understand?
Kang Ruicheng just said: "Mumu is smarter than you think."
"Hey..." Dongzi scratched his head, "If you put it that way, it seems possible."
Kang Ruicheng stood up and ordered in a cold voice: "You continue to investigate. If you find any clues, tell me immediately."
Dongzi nodded: "I understand." After a pause, he added, "Brother Cheng, let me have a drink with you."
Kang Ruicheng glanced at Dongzi, nodded, and pushed a wine glass in front of Dongzi.
After the two of them drank half a bottle of wine, Dongzi stood up and left.
Kang Ruicheng went upstairs and pushed open the door of Xu Youning's room, only to find a small ball bulging under the quilt, with a small head protruding from the top.
"Mumu?"
Kang Ruicheng turned on the light, his voice filled with doubts.
"...Daddy." Mu Mu sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily, "I'm going to sleep."
Kang Ruicheng hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Mu Mu fell down again: "Good night, Daddy."
"……Good night."
Kang Ruicheng closed the door for Mumu and called Dongzi directly:
"Check the flights to the United States tomorrow."
Dongzi asked with some surprise: "Brother Cheng, are you sending Mumu back to the United States so soon? It's rare for him to come back, why don't you spend more time with him?"
"No, I want him to return to the United States, as soon as possible."
Kang Ruicheng's tone left no room for criticism.
He had a vague feeling that if Mu Mu was allowed to stay in the country, many things would go off the track he expected.
From the beginning, he should not have allowed Mu Mu and Xu Youning to develop a relationship.
However, only he knew what he was thinking at that time.
Not long after, Dongzi had already checked the air tickets and said: "There will be an early direct flight to the United States at 10:30 tomorrow morning. The time is quite suitable."
"Book a first-class cabin." Kang Ruicheng ordered, "I'll take Mumu to the airport tomorrow."
"It's booked." Dongzi said, "I will send the flight number to your mobile phone shortly."
Kang Ruicheng hung up the phone and looked back in the direction of Xu Youning's room——
Tomorrow, once Mumu leaves, this farce will end.
He will settle the accounts with Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue, and he will take care of the people who should be snatched back.
…
The next day, Dingya Villa.
A new day comes with the hazy and beautiful morning light.
Lu Boyan was woken up by the ringing of the alarm clock.
This is not pretty at all.
Of course, he didn't set the alarm clock.
After graduating from junior high school, he never used an alarm clock.
When it's time to wake up every day, his biological clock will wake him up.
The most important thing is that he doesn't like the feeling of being woken up by the alarm clock at all.
Mu Sijue frowned when he heard Su Jianan getting up.
Su Jianan was obviously still very sleepy, so she got up with her eyes closed, and then sat on the bed motionless.
Lu Boyan directly tucked Su Jianan back into bed, covered her with the quilt, and ordered without hesitation: "Sleep a little longer."
"...No." Su Jianan snuggled into Lu Boyan's arms and refused, "I'll be late for work if I don't get up..."
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Then you get up?"
"...It won't work either." Su Jianan hugged Lu Boyan out of habit and said in a crying voice, "I can't get up and I still want to sleep..."
