It was already late at night, and Mu Sijue was still doing work in the study.
Because he often visits Xu Youning during the day, and after returning home from get off work at night and coaxing Niannian to sleep, Mu Sijue often needs to deal with the rest of the day's work, and sometimes he is even busy until one or two o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Zhou felt that it was hard for Mu Sijue and advised him that if he didn't have time, he could just go see You Ning on the weekends. On weekdays, she or she could just go there with Nian Nian.
Mu Sijue did not accept Aunt Zhou's suggestion, and went to see Xu Youning from time to time as usual, telling her what had happened recently and how many centimeters Niannian had grown.
The doctor said that people close to him often come to stay with Xu Youning, which is good for Xu Youning's recovery.
Because of this, Aunt Zhou stopped trying to persuade Mu Sijue.
What Aunt Zhou didn't know was that Mu Sijue didn't mind at all when he had to work overtime at night to handle work, and even thought it was very beneficial.
After all, it's easier to fall asleep if you're exhausted.
Mu Sijue never told Aunt Zhou this slightly extreme idea. He didn't want the old man to worry about him even more.
The clock pointed to 12:20, and Musijue finally finished today's work. Just as he was about to close the computer, an email notification popped up in the upper right corner of the screen.
The title of the email is: First Quarter Survey Report.
It must have come from the high cold.
In the past four years, Gao Han and Bai Tang have been responsible for the search for Kang Ruicheng. At first, they submitted reports once a week, then once every half a month, and then once a month.
The frequency of reports has decreased because the investigation work seems to have stalled, there is no progress, and there is really nothing to write in the report.
Four years have passed, and now we only write an investigation report once a quarter.
Usually, when Gao Han and Bai Tang investigate, they can also find some subtle but useless clues. They often choose to call Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue directly, or write them down first.
In Bai Tang's words, writing a formal report on these clues is simply a waste of energy.
In the past few months of investigation, not even a single clue has been found.
Therefore, this quarter’s report seems to have little content.
Despite this, Musijue still clicked on the email.
It's said to be a report, but it's actually a summary of this quarter's failures.
Even Gao Han sighed at the end: Another report with no surprises. Thank you for your patience in reading it!
Mu Sijue pressed his temples helplessly, logged out of the mailbox, thought for a while, and dialed Gao Han's number.
Gao Han is a single man, so it is expected that he will not go to bed immediately after handing in the report - even if it is already so late.
Sure enough, the phone rang less than twice before Gao Han answered the call and a lazy voice came over:
"Mu Qi, haven't you slept yet?" Although it was a question, there was no surprise in his tone.
Mu Sijue said straight to the point: "Recently, you have been keeping an eye on Han Ruoxi. Don't let her find out."
In the past few days, the hidden competition between Su Jianan and Han Ruoxi, and the fact that the famous actress Jiang Ying accompanied her on a run, has been hotly discussed on the Internet.
However, someone like Mu Sijue, who only focuses on his wife, son and work, actually heard about Han Ruoxi's return to China?
Gao Han did not ask how Mu Sijue received the wind, because he knew that even if he asked Mu Sijue, he would not answer. He just said: "When Han Ruoxi first came back, Bo Yan had already asked me to investigate. The result of the investigation was...
There is nothing unusual about Han Ruoxi."
"Keep an eye on her." Musijue's voice was hard and without any warmth. "There was nothing unusual when I came back, but that doesn't mean there won't be anything in the future."
Gao Han knew why Mu Sijue suspected Han Ruoxi and said, "Okay." Anyway, the investigation had stalled and there was no progress. They were worried that they had nothing to do. Keeping an eye on Han Ruoxi, they might really be able to find some clues.
Gao Han took a pen and wrote down the matter of staring at Han Ruoxi on his work schedule. When he put down the pen, he sighed: "Sometimes I really regret it when I think about it. Four years ago, we should have bombed Kangruicheng's plane.
Once it's over, it saves you the trouble of worrying every day for the past four years."
"..." Mu Sijue said nothing, or he was too lazy to talk.
"Hey, Mu Qi, you're such a boring person. Can't you do it after I've had my mouth?" Gao Han continued weakly, "Okay, I admit that what I said was angry. I also know that you and Bo Yan both
I have never regretted the decision I made four years ago.”
"..." Indeed, Musijue has never regretted it, and neither of them has regretted it.
They couldn't catch Kang Ruicheng at that time, but they would have another chance in the future.
But if they had hurt Mumu at that time, everything would be irreversible.
What they have to suffer is not only Xu Youning's questioning, but also the condemnation of conscience.
"Actually, at that time, if I had been asked to make a choice, I would not have hurt that innocent child." Gao Han said, suddenly thinking of Mu Mu four years ago, and couldn't help but continue, "At that time, that child was better than Xi Xi now."
Not much older, right? He looks like an adult. But after four years, he should have grown up a lot."
Mu Mu was just five years old when she left City A with Kang Ruicheng.
Four years later, he was nine years old.
He should have grown a lot taller.
Mu Sijue finally spoke and said slowly: "Under no circumstances can Mu Mu be hurt, unless..." His voice stopped abruptly and he did not continue.
Gao Han knew what Mu Sijue couldn't say, but he still forced him to say it himself: "Unless - what?"
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and continued, "Unless Mu Mu becomes like his father when he grows up."
"I know you may not like to hear this, but -" Gao Han said, "This is very possible."
Kang Ruicheng's brainwashing ability is not very strong. If he wants to train Mumu to be his heir, Mumu... will probably become like him.
"Let's hurry up. As long as we hurry up, Mumu won't change."
There was a chill of decisive killing in Musijue's voice.
They deal with Kangrui City as soon as possible to minimize the impact of Kangrui City on Mumu.
In this way, Mu Mu will not follow in his father's footsteps.
"Well." Gao Han put five fingers on his forehead and said, "I don't have any clues at the moment anyway, so I might as well listen to you and start by staring at Han Ruoxi. If I find anything unusual, I will tell you as soon as possible."
Mu Sijue corrected him: "If there is anything unusual about Han Ruoxi, tell Bo Yan immediately."
Gao Han didn't react for a moment: "Why?"
Mu Sijue reminded: "Compared to me, he should be more anxious to know the purpose of Han Ruoxi's return."
If I have to explain it clearly, of course it is because of Su Jianan.
Even if Han Ruoxi didn't come back under Kang Ruicheng's instigation, she might still target Su Jianan.
Lu Boyan would not let this happen.
Gao Han also quickly thought of Su Jian'an, then suddenly realized, agreed, and hung up the phone.
Mu Sijue also put down his cell phone. Almost at the same time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He subconsciously looked at the study door, his eyes as sharp as razors, and realized after two seconds that it should be Aunt Zhou.
At this time, only Aunt Zhou could knock on his door.
Nian Nian was asleep, so it was impossible for her to come, and other servants did not have the courage.
Mu Sijue closed the computer and asked Aunt Zhou to come in.
Aunt Zhou opened the door and her eyes first fell on Mu Sijue's computer. Seeing that the computer had been closed, she said, "When you're done, go to sleep."
"Well." Mu Sijue stood up and looked at the time. It was almost one o'clock. Then he looked at Aunt Zhou and asked doubtfully, "Aunt Zhou, at this time..."
Aunt Zhou knew what Mu Sijue wanted to ask, so she smiled and explained: "I'm old and I wake up easily at night. I woke up just after I fell asleep, so I wanted to get up and take a look at Nian Nian. When I saw the light in the study room was on, I woke up.
Stopped by to see you."
"I'm going to sleep." Musijue said, "I'll take you back to your room."
Aunt Zhou nodded, but did not take a step, looking thoughtful.
Mu Sijue also stopped and said, "Aunt Zhou, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Xiao Qi," Aunt Zhou sighed softly, "I know why you go to bed so late every day. It is true that when a person is extremely tired, it is easier to fall asleep. But you can't overtax your body like this every day. You Ning
You haven't recovered yet, but you have three shortcomings, what should I do?"
Mu Sijue reassured Aunt Zhou and said, "I know what's going on."
"You always say that." Aunt Zhou scolded, "but I see that you never really think about it."
Mu Sijue knew that Aunt Zhou was easy to be soft-hearted, so he found some excuses to get through, then sent Aunt Zhou back to her room and told her to have a good rest.
He closed the door for Aunt Zhou, walked to the next door, and quietly opened Nian Nian's door.
The little guy was used to sleeping alone. He was lying on the bed with his back stretched out, and a corner of the quilt slipped to the ground without knowing when.
Musijue walked over, pulled up the quilt for the little guy, sat down by the bed, and looked at the little guy.
After watching for a moment, Musijue couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the little guy's forehead.
Four years ago, when he heard that the little guy's existence would threaten Xu Youning's life, Mu Sijue almost wanted to give up on him. In the end, Xu Youning insisted on giving birth to the little guy and wanted him to stay with him in the long days to come.
In the past four years, without Nian Nian, Musijue is not sure how much darkness and hopelessness his life would have added.
"Dad, let's wait together."
"Aunt Jian An and the others all said that my mother loves me the most, so my mother must not be willing to let me grow up alone. Dad, my mother will definitely wake up. We must have a lot of confidence in our mother!"
"dad……"
These words from the little guy, no, even if the little guy doesn't say these words and just calls "Daddy", they can give Mu Sijue great hope and comfort.
Four years is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. Xu Youning's condition has not improved at all.
Although Mu Sijue has never wavered in his confidence in waiting for Xu Youning, occasionally, he is still inevitably swept away by despair.
Every time, it was Niannian who said "Dad" again and again and those words that pulled him back from the abyss of despair.
Destiny gave him and Xu Youning not only a child, but also hope.
