A few people outside were arguing. Mu Jingdong came out of the ward. His eyes fell on Mu Jingnan and whispered: "You and Xiaobei stay in the hospital. I just happened to go back and have something to do. If the old man has something here,
Call me anytime."
"Brother..." Mu Jingnan was about to speak, but was interrupted by him, "It's okay, I won't argue with him, I promise." He turned around and left.
Mu Jingbei turned his head angrily and said confidently: "Third brother, did you see that? The eldest brother said he wouldn't quarrel with you, but I think you were really knocked unconscious by someone!" Mu Jingbei turned around and walked in angrily.
Ward.
Mu Jingnan sighed and said, "That's it, Xiaobei, don't be angry. In this case, you'd better not go back to Mozhuang tonight, okay?"
Mu Jingxi pulled Tong Nian'an away without saying a word.
The wind outside was very cold, and Tong Nian'an couldn't help but shrink her neck. Seeing his stern face, she didn't say anything. Mu Jingdong was no longer seen outside, and the two got in the car and left the hospital.
The lights along the way were beautiful. After driving for more than ten minutes, Tong Nian'an finally realized something was wrong: "Isn't this the way to Mozhuang? Jingxi, didn't your second sister say..."
"Why do you think he is rushing back to Mozhuang? How could I not go?" He gritted his teeth, clearly meaning that Mu Jingdong was going back to "destroy the corpses and traces."
Tong Nian'an was quite surprised. She covered her pounding heart and blurted out: "Do you really think that was not an accident?"
"He asked Xia Xuechen to specially mix the food to induce me to get sick, and also asked someone to get rid of you. Who can guarantee that he will not poison the old man?" The fingers holding the steering wheel tightened unconsciously, and Mu Jingxi's face turned pale.
"Jingxi, be careful, the water here is very deep, don't go there in the future."
"Jump down, it's okay, big brother will catch you."
"Jingxi, don't copy your homework from now on. If you don't finish it, my big brother will help you."
…
Bits and pieces of childhood suddenly came to mind, and Mu Jingxi closed his eyes suddenly. They used to be so good, and their brotherly love was enviable by everyone. When did this change?
Why, why on earth...
"Be careful!" Tong Nian'an screamed as a car crossed the road ahead.
Mu Jingxi hurriedly stepped on the brakes, and the ABS made a heart-stopping "click" sound. The car in front of him passed safely. Tong Nian'an looked back at the person beside him and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." He took a deep breath, dismissed those fragments from his mind, and continued to drive forward.
Tong Nian'an looked straight at his side face. After a long time, she said softly: "What on earth did Mu Jingdong say that the old man didn't let him tell you?"
Mu Jingxi said nothing, because this was what he also wanted to know.
When they arrived at Mozhuang, Mu Jingdong's car was already in the yard. Mu Jingxi couldn't wait to rush in as soon as he got off the car. Tong Nian'an hesitated and hurriedly followed him.
The servants saw Mu Jingxi coming in and hurriedly greeted him.
Mu Jingxi stopped Aunt Li: "How did the old man fall down the stairs?"
Aunt Li subconsciously glanced upstairs and heard Mu Jingxi say: "You don't have to be afraid of anything. Just tell me if you have anything."
Aunt Li nodded and sighed: "Actually, I was working in the kitchen when I heard a loud noise from outside, and then someone called the old man, so I came out. The old man was already on the ground. I also saw a big noise.
The young master rushed down from upstairs and said he wanted to call an ambulance."
"So they were the only two people there when the accident happened?"
"yes."
"Did anyone hear what they said?"
"No, there was no one inside at the time."
"Are you sure?"
"I have already asked Aqiang and the others."
Mu Jingxi thought for a moment and stood up: "My eldest brother went upstairs?"
Aunt Li nodded, Mu Jingxi turned around and went up. Tong Nian'an had no choice but to follow him up.
There were no traces at all at the entrance of the stairs. There were lights in Mu Jingdong's room. It didn't look like he was here to destroy evidence, but rather like Mu Jingxi was pressing closer.
Tong Nian'an grabbed his hand as he was about to knock on the door, shook his head at him, and said, "Since there is no evidence, what can you ask? Do you really want to fight with him here? Don't forget
, the old man is still unconscious in the hospital. Wait, maybe the old man will wake up in a few days."
However, five days passed and the old man still did not wake up.
On the sixth day, Lawyer Wang came to the house. All four brothers and sisters of the Mu family were present. Naturally, Tong Nianan did not follow. After all, she was not from the Mu family.
Lawyer Wang took out a key and an envelope and put them on the table, pushed up his glasses and said: "The old man has long said that if one day he is no longer here, he will give the key and password of this safe to the young master. Now.
Although the old man is still alive, he is unconscious, and there must always be someone in charge at home." He said, pushing the key and envelope to Mu Jingdong.
Mu Jingxi couldn't help but stood up. Mu Jingnan quickly stopped him: "Jingxi, what are you doing?"
He looked at Mu Jingdong coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Is this your purpose? To monopolize all the Mu family's property?"
"Jingxi, what are you talking about?" Mu Jingnan pulled him hard.
Lawyer Wang stood up in a panic and said with an apologetic smile: "I've finished my words, so I'll take my leave first." He had seen many wealthy families competing for property. Since the matter was done, it was better to leave early.
Mu Jingdong sneered, took the keys and envelope and turned around to go upstairs.
"Stop, tell me clearly!" Mu Jingxi stared at him angrily.
Mu Jingdong did not turn around. He held the handrail with one hand and said coldly: "What are you anxious about? I will let you know clearly. I will make it clear to you!"
"Hey, big brother... big brother..." Mu Jingbei looked at Mu Jingdong's leaving figure and called out twice without seeing him answer. He turned back to look at the two people behind him, frowned and asked, "What did he mean by what he just said?"
Mu Jingxi pushed Mu Jingnan's hand away and walked out with a cold snort.
Mu Jingnan hurriedly called him: "Where are you going?"
"I can't stay in this house anymore!"
Mu Jingxi drove straight to the hospital, and the nurse just put a new intravenous drip on Mr. Mo. He quietly sat down, stared at his thin face for a long time, and asked him in a low voice: "Old man, do you really want a lawyer?"
What if I leave it to my eldest brother? Tell me, was he the one who pushed you down the stairs?"
The person on the hospital bed didn't respond.
Mu Jingxi smiled helplessly and sat stupidly.
The door to the ward was pushed open at an unknown moment, and he turned around to see Tong Nian'an running in, panting.
"Why are you here?"
Tong Nian'an stepped forward and stood beside him, gasping and saying: "I'm worried. I wanted to call your second sister to ask how things are going over there. Your second sister said that you have left. Since you have not returned to the apartment, I want you to
