Up to You - C180
It’s a lie that I’m not afraid. I’ve followed Mu Huainan for so many years, but I’m still afraid of him.
“You want me to bring my child over? I’m here, can you let Xu Ze go now?”
Nervously, I had to hold on to 99.
Mu Huainan finally spoke. His words were rather meaningful.
“In the past, you had Peng Haobai abroad, but now you have another Xu?”
A subordinate came over to help him answer: “Xu Ze, Mr. Mou.”
“It’s nothing to do with him. I just rented his house. “Don’t make things difficult for him.”
Mu Huainan had long since scouted everything out, and he prevented me from running away once again, so he had long since found out everything about Xu Ze.
“Single apartment? Rent?”
After being exposed, my complexion darkened.
“Mu …”
I was angry and wanted to call out his full name, but I was afraid that if I were to hear it from Jiu Jiu who was in my embrace, I wouldn’t want to ruin the image that Mu Huainan would have in his heart.
“I want to see Xu Ze.”
Mu Huainan looked at me, then looked at the child in my embrace. He walked over and extended his hand out, wanting to help me tidy up my messy hair.
I stepped back, just in case he got too close and did something unexpected.
I have to be careful and cautious now.
“It’s good that you didn’t starve to death when you escaped all the way here.”
What did he care about dressing up?
“Why aren’t you coming home from your hard work?”
I feel that Mu Huainan asking this question again and again is simply laughable useless.
Doesn’t he know whether I’m coming home or not?
But this time, he leaned close to me, his thin lips parted. “Is there something you don’t want me to know?”
Mu Huainan’s gaze landed on Jiu Jiu once again as cold sweat flowed down my back.
“We can talk about this later. Let me see Xu Ze first.”
Mu Huainan raised his eyebrows, using his eyes to signal to the subordinates beside him, and not long later, someone pushed Xu Ze to the door and came up.
He was probably locked in a room right next door. When he was brought in, his face was still covered with a cloth.
His mouth was gagged, and he struggled repeatedly, but someone still managed to pin his leg behind his knee, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
His eyes were blindfolded, but there was a wound on his face. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.
“Xu Ze!” I was in a hurry to crouch down in front of him. “How are you? Are your injuries serious?! ”
He heard my voice in the mist and turned his cheek in my direction. “Why are you here?”
Xu Ze’s voice was extremely hoarse and his mouth was dry as well. It was unknown what medicine he had been given, so he must be feeling extremely uncomfortable right now.
“Let him go.” I looked at Mu Huainan: “He’s useless to you, hurry up and let him go!”
Mu Huainan sighed deeply, “An An An, I don’t like you getting angry because of other men.”
“Then why don’t you see how you’ve forced me to become?! Uncle Huainan… “As a person, one shouldn’t be so selfish …”
If he doesn’t like it, I can do whatever I want to him. If I’m unhappy, I’ll still be captured by him and travel thousands of miles to Mu City.
“Hai.” “I don’t want to do this to you either, but I’m really worried that you won’t go home.”
He held out his hand to me.
“Give me the child.”
I backed away warily.
“Let Xu Ze go first. We’ll talk about other things later.”
“I will release him, don’t be anxious.”
“If you don’t let us go, we can’t talk about anything.”
I nearly forgot what kind of person Mu Huainan is. He never gets threatened by others and it is also his greatest taboo to be threatened by others.
I’ve committed a great offense.
When I saw him pull the gun out of his belt, I regretted that it was too late.
The gun was silenced and fired without a sound.
On the contrary, Xu Ze’s painful groans became more intense.
“What are you doing!?” I threw myself towards Xu Ze and knelt beside him. He had been shot in the arm, and blood kept flowing, so I hugged him with one hand and pressed on his wound to stop the bleeding with the other.
My chest was wet. Nine-Nine’s small hands gripped the front of my clothes, feeling wet.
He was scared to the point of crying, but he kept on crying silently. He remembered that his mother did not let him make a sound, so he was extremely scared and could only quietly cry.
I felt a pang in my heart.
“Ninety-nine, don’t be afraid.” Xu Ze’s face paled, he trembled in pain, but he still opened his mouth to console his.
“Uncle Xu is fine, don’t be afraid.”
He looked up at me again.
“The smell of blood is too strong. Carry Jiu Jiu further away, don’t scare him …” Before he even finished speaking, Xu Ze had convulsed once again.
I looked at Xu Ze and felt ninety-nine’s trembling in my arms. My heart felt as if something was grabbing onto me time and time again and I couldn’t breathe, nor could I stop this kind of pain.
I had no choice but to give in. I was brought up by Mu Huainan.
But now I have to.
With a “plop,” I knelt in front of Mu Huainan and hugged him. After wiping my hands on my clothes, I covered his ears.
I hope he won’t hear me.
Otherwise, if his mother was so unpromising, he wouldn’t be able to lift his head up again in the future.
“Please, let Xu Ze go.”
He did not move.
“Are you letting go?”
He still didn’t move.
I got up slowly, moved quickly over to him, and picked up the gun he had left on the table beside him.
With Mu Huainan’s skill, it was easy to stop me, but he didn’t do so.
When his subordinate saw that he was about to extend his hand to stop her, he was stopped.
He smiled.
“Last time you wanted to kill me for Peng Haobai, but this time, you’re going to shoot me for this man again?”
He was calm, and his easy expression told me that he was sure I couldn’t kill him.
So many times, no matter how much you hate me, you can’t do it, let alone this time.
Naturally, I knew that I couldn’t kill him. I can do it myself.
I put a hand on the back of his head and told him not to look up at me.
With the other hand, he held the gun to his temple.
Seeing that, Mu Huainan’s face darkened, and bellowed.
“Lu Weian, put down your spear!”
“I’ve brought nine out today, so I’m not afraid of death.” “I want both Xu Ze and Jiu Jiu to be alright, if not, I will die right in front of you.”
The Mr. Mou who was in control of everything, miscalculated who I should aim my gun at in the end.
He panted and coughed a few times as he held onto the table beside him. Then, he reached out his hand to call his subordinates.
Xu Ze was brought out.
“What are you doing?”
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. We’ll just take him out first and let him know the rules. Don’t speak nonsense when he goes out.”
I was relieved.
“That’s enough. Put the gun down.”
He sat down on the sofa and patted the seat beside him.
“Come here.”
I didn’t move.
“No need.”
He did not force it.
“Give me the gun.”
Although I was unwilling, his men didn’t ask for my opinion and directly took the guns away.
After a while, Mu Huainan looked at ninety-nine and asked.
“This child is called Jiu Jiu?”
I didn’t say anything, just hugged the baby in my arms.
“Tell me, whose child is he?”
I raised my head and looked at his pair of cold eyes. Remembering that the grievances from the past few days were now unkind to him, I sneered, “What does it have to do with you? It’s not yours anyway.
He took a deep breath.
“So it’s yours and Peng Haobai’s?”
There was no ripple in his tone, only the same indifferent and calm expression.
Mu Huainan stood up from the sofa, his gaze shooting over like an arrow.
He wanted children, and the intentions expressed in his eyes were clear enough.
I was forced back, step by step, until there was no way out.
“Give me the child.”
His whole body was pressing down so hard that I didn’t even have time to catch my breath.
He reaches over, and I wrap my arms around him, unable to lift my leg and kick him in the thigh.
I kicked him away with all my might, and my eyes were red.
He was forced to retreat a few steps, supported by the subordinates behind him. Those subordinates of his stepped forward to teach me a lesson, but they were stopped by Mu Huainan.
“Nobody moves!”
I could feel the hostility of the people around me. Even though Mu Huainan had given the order, they still carefully stared at me without moving.
“I told you to leave, didn’t you understand?!”
Mu Huainan was furious.
“Get the fuck out of here.”
“Mr. Mou…”
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying?” He raised his hand and fired a shot into the ceiling.
Everyone was stunned. After looking at each other for a few seconds, they ran out in a panic.
The room suddenly became quiet. The 99th was in my embrace, trembling even more violently.
I gently stroke his hair and whisper in his ear.
“Don’t be afraid, Mom is here.”
Mu Huainan’s black eyes burned with anger as he looked down at me.
“This child, is he really Peng Haobai’s?”
I looked at him, startled, and shook my head.
“No, it’s not yours, nor is it his. It has nothing to do with either of you.”
Mu Huainan sighed.
“I have a bottom line too.”
He pulled a piece of paper from the table and wiped the muzzle of his gun.
Then, he slowly raised the gun to face the back of Jiu Jiu’s head.
A loud sound resonated in my head. When I felt the sharp killing intent, both of me shuddered and goosebumps appeared all over my body.
“What are you doing!”
“An An, you have to understand who you belong to.”
“Put the gun down!”
“An An, I’m asking you again, is this child really Peng Haobai’s?”
“I’ll ask you one last time.”
He seemed to have made up his mind, and I knew that in his eyes, there was no room for sand. No one he didn’t want to leave behind.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat.
He turned around and faced Mu Huainan with his back facing him. If he wanted to aim the gun right, then aim it at me.
“Like I said, this child is not yours, nor is it Peng Haobai’s. It has nothing to do with any of you. Seven years ago when I left the country, I had nothing to do with you anymore. Why can’t I fall in love with someone else and give birth to a child? “You don’t want children, but it’s not like I can’t find a man who wants them!”
The more I spoke, the more excited I became, and the more I trembled.
I didn’t look back, but I could hear him breathing heavily behind me.
He was furious.
“An An, you know my temper.”
In the end, Jean said this to me while holding back his anger.
“I didn’t even let you keep your child. What’s more, it’s someone else’s. “
