The subordinate asked anxiously: "Mumu, what's wrong?"
"...I have heard this sentence many times." Mu Mu said, her voice getting lower and lower, "Actually, when I wake up tomorrow, I may not be able to see my daddy, right?"
Such words are usually only used by adults to coax him.
He was already familiar with this routine.
"..."
The men were speechless for a moment.
That's right, he just wanted to coax Mumu to sleep.
It's been a long time since Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi left in such a panic, so this time, something serious or special must have happened.
He wasn't sure when Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi could settle things, and naturally he couldn't guarantee that Kang Ruicheng would come back tomorrow.
However, he can still reassure Mu Mu——
"Mumu, I can promise you one thing -" the subordinate said, "your dad will not be hurt."
"..." Mu Mu raised her head, with bright eyes, looking at her subordinates doubtfully.
"Hey, Mu Mu..." The subordinate looked frustrated and helpless, "You look at me like this, which makes me feel very humiliated. If you don't believe me, you have to believe Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng - your dad is very powerful!
"
Mu Mu was still convinced and blinked, "Uncle, I believe in daddy and I believe in you!"
The subordinate was so moved that he wanted to cry, so he touched Mumu's head and said, "Okay, go back to sleep."
Mumu returned to the room and after tossing and turning many times, she finally fell asleep.
Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi came back at around three o'clock in the morning. Both of them were tired and had gloomy faces.
It was confirmed that something went wrong with their channels in Europe - the channels were suddenly investigated by the local police, and many people were arrested.
They didn't know how the local police discovered that channel, and they couldn't confirm whether Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue had noticed anything.
The situation they face can be said to be very serious.
The subordinates looked at the expressions of Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi and understood everything in an instant——
Next, they have a tough battle to fight.
"Brother Cheng, Brother Dong, are you all tired?" his subordinates advised, "Why don't you rest first, and if anything happens, we can discuss it together tomorrow."
Kang Ruicheng just asked: "How are Mu Mu and Qiqi?"
"They're all asleep!" The subordinate paused and continued hesitantly, "But Mu Mu knows about your going out..."
Kang Ruicheng frowned, "How do you know?"
The subordinate was too guilty to speak and glanced at Dongzi——
Dongzi reacted, patted his head in annoyance, and said, "It's all my fault. I suddenly sent Qiqi over, which made Mu Mu suspicious."
"It doesn't matter." Kang Ruicheng sighed softly, "I don't know today, but I will know tomorrow."
"..."
Dongzi and his subordinates fell silent upon hearing Kang Ruicheng's helplessness.
Kang Ruicheng waved his hand, "You go and rest first."
The men left in response, and Dongzi said: "I will take Qiqi back."
Kang Ruicheng said "hmm" and wanted to see Mu Mu, so he went upstairs with Dongzi.
Mumu and Qiqi slept soundly in the room.
Mu Mu curled up on the sofa, while Qiqi occupied Mu Mu's bed.
No matter how turbulent or strange the world of adults is, the world of children is still peaceful.
"There is an aunt at home, but she still says she is afraid and insists on coming to Mumu, otherwise she won't let me out." Dongzi said sadly, "Brother Cheng, you are right, Qiqi will choose Mumu sooner or later."
"What?" Kang Ruicheng glanced sideways at Dongzi, "What are you dissatisfied with our Mumu?"
"Of course not, I like Mumu very much!" Dongzi said, covering his heart, "I'm just heartbroken. Brother Cheng, you are raising a son, you don't understand."
"..." This time Kang Ruicheng couldn't refute.
"Brother Cheng, are you really going to tell Mu Mu and Qiqi tomorrow?" Dongzi hesitated, "Actually, our channels in Europe may not have been taken away by Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue..."
"In this case, we have to be careful." Kang Ruicheng said with a serious face, "Xu Youning is awake. In order to ensure their future life, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue will definitely focus all their firepower on us."
"Okay, everything is up to you!"
Dongzi has always trusted Kangruicheng so much.
"It's very late. You should take Qiqi back first. If you need anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Kang Ruicheng sent Dongzi and Qiqi downstairs, then sat on the sofa in the living room and lit a cigarette.
The time was exactly four o'clock.
In another hour it will be daylight.
Kang Ruicheng did not go back to the room, and allowed himself to be trapped in the darkness, holding a little scarlet firelight between his fingertips, thinking about things and waiting for dawn.
After finishing half a pack of cigarettes, the morning light began to quietly flow into the room, dispelling the suffocating darkness.
When Kang Ruicheng came to his senses, the sun had already poured in through the window, and Mu Mu also woke up.
When Mu Mu heard that Kang Ruicheng was back, she almost ran down. She stopped in front of Kang Ruicheng and simply called: "Daddy!"
Kang Ruicheng raised his eyes casually, moved his lips towards Mu Mu, "Good morning."
Mu Mu looked at Kang Ruicheng and asked, "Daddy, didn't you sleep last night?"
"...I just woke up earlier than you." Kang Ruicheng said lightly and quickly changed the subject, "Do you want to go out for breakfast?"
Most of them eat at home.
But sometimes, Kangruicheng would also drive Mumu to the city center to find a restaurant that Mumu liked to eat.
"Okay." Mu Mu said the name of a restaurant, "I want to eat their beef noodles."
Kang Ruicheng took the car keys thrown by his subordinates and said, "Let's go."
It takes nearly two hours to drive from where they live to the city center, and they have to walk a long rural road at the beginning.
The rural road is a non-standard two-lane road paved with cement. The center line of the road has been exposed to the sun and rain for many years, and the color is so light that it is almost invisible.
However, this place is economically backward and there are not many cars, so it does not have any impact.
Mumu lowered the window and lay by the window to look outside.
There are agricultural fields on both sides of the road, with uniform crops planted, stretching into a large green area, as if God has laid a large green carpet for this place.
At the end of the green, there are rolling mountains, with cotton-like white clouds floating on the top of the mountains.
Every time I go out, Mumu likes to see the scenery along this section of the road.
On this stretch of road, even the air is free.
The car drove off the country road and onto a crude highway, bumping all the way to the city center.
At around nine o'clock, the car finally stopped in front of Mu Mu's favorite beef noodle shop.
Mu Mu was so hungry that her eyesight was dim.
Well, I climbed in and ordered food.
Fortunately, it was past breakfast time and there were not many people in the store. Within ten minutes, two bowls of hot noodles with the aroma of beef were served.
Mu Mu didn't care about burning her mouth and couldn't wait to take a bite. At the end, she didn't forget to sigh: "It's so delicious!"
After Mu Mu had almost finished eating, Kang Ruicheng said: "There are so many restaurants here, but your favorite is this beef noodle shop, right?"
"That's right!" Mu Mu didn't deny it, and she didn't mind giving the reason, "Because the beef noodles here are the only ones like the beef noodles I had with Aunt Youning."
"..."
Therefore, to Mu Mu, Xu Youning is his most important and favorite person.
Kang Ruicheng refused to carefully experience the feeling of arrows piercing the heart, and asked: "Where did you and Aunt Youning eat?"
"A Chinese restaurant in the United States." Mu Mu said, "It's near the place where I used to live."
"..." Kang Ruicheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Mumu, now you have the opportunity to go back and eat the beef noodles you and Aunt Youning had together."
"..." Mu Mu was stunned for a moment, with a mouthful of noodles hanging on her lips. She didn't want to eat it or not. She blinked and said, "Daddy, I didn't understand what you said."
Kang Ruicheng said bluntly: "I plan to send you back to the United States."
"..." Mu Mu put down her chopsticks and looked at Kang Ruicheng, "What about you?"
Of course Kang Ruicheng knew that Mu Mu wanted him to go back with him.
But how could he set foot on American soil?
"I... will find time to see you." Kang Ruicheng tried his best to look at Mu Mu with a relaxed expression and said, "We are just temporarily separated for a while. I will pick you up in a short time. We can still
Live together like we have these past few years.”
"..." Mu Mu lowered her eyes and said nothing.
"If I told you that Qiqi would go back to the United States with you, would you be happier?"
Mu Mu shook her head without hesitation and said, "I want you."
Kang Ruicheng felt sad but at the same time felt relieved.
From this point of view, his status in Mu Mu's heart is at least equal to that of Xu Youning.
"Mu Mu, I can't go to the United States with you for the time being." Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Mu apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"Then I don't need to go to the United States." Mu Mu said, "This way we can be together, and Qiqi can be with Uncle Dongzi."
"You and Qiqi can't stay here forever." Kang Ruicheng said, "You are going to a developed country to receive a first-class education. Mumu, this is the last time I make a decision for you. You listen to me for the last time, okay.
?"
"...I can listen to you." Mu Mu said, "But, I have a question - Daddy, you have to answer me honestly."
Kang Ruicheng nodded: "Okay."
"... When you send me and Qiqi away, are you going to find Uncle Mu and Uncle Lu?" Mu Mu's tone was not only hesitant, but also a little timid, "Will you... hurt each other?"
"Mumu, you are still young and don't understand things between adults." Kang Ruicheng said, "I can only promise you that I will not hurt Aunt Youning."
"Daddy..." Mu Mu still wanted to persuade Kang Ruicheng.
"At most there is the child named Nian Nian." Kang Ruicheng had a tough attitude, "If you tell me again, I can't even guarantee Aunt Youning."
"..." Mu Mu pursed her lips and did not dare to speak any more.
"I will arrange to send you and Qiqi to the United States when I get back." Kang Ruicheng said, "From today on, you don't have to go to school."
