Up to You - C197

After hearing that Mu Huainan wanted to go and fetch Jing Yu, the sleepiness I had just had disappeared again.

Actually, just by asking this question, I already had an answer in my heart.

“Since you don’t know where Jing Yu is, how are you going to bring her back?”

He used the word “exchange” to make me feel uneasy.

“No.” There was no doubt about what I said: “Nothing can happen to either of you.”

“It would have been fine anyway.” He smiled lightly, “I didn’t want to care about the old days. She can do whatever she wants, but …” “She’s a threat to you, so I can’t easily get around her.”

This was the bottom line, the bottom line for a Mr. Mou.

I was still unwilling to give up. “Since nothing will happen, then bring me along.”

He didn’t answer. He turned off the light at the head of the bed and curled up under the covers with me in his arms.

“Sleep early.”

He kissed me on the forehead.

“Good night.”

He didn’t want to say it, and no one could force him to say it, not even me.

I had wanted to talk to him about it the next morning, but who knew that when I woke up the next day, I wouldn’t be able to see Mu Huainan anymore?

The bed beside him was ice-cold. He should have woken up very early.

The room was empty, devoid of his scent.

All that was left was the stuffy rice and vegetables in the kitchen pot. He even made me breakfast and lunch before leaving.

He knew I was lazy, and he must have stayed in bed until noon because of what happened last night.

I couldn’t finish all of those food in one go. I was worried about where Mu Huainan would go, so I couldn’t hold it in any longer, so I simply dialed his number.

Suddenly, a sound came from the corner of the sofa.

I walked over and saw that his cell phone was wedged between the couches. I didn’t take it.

I don’t know if he did it on purpose or not.

But all this only made me more flustered.

Hurriedly, I dialed Shen Xiuyuan’s number.

“Uncle Xiu Yuan!”

“What’s wrong, An’an?” Did you miss me? ”

At this critical juncture, I did not have the time to bullshit with him. “Do you have a way to find Huai Nan?”

A puzzled voice came from the other side, “Find him and call him directly.”

“He didn’t call his cell phone.”

It was probably because he heard my unusual anxious voice that Shen Xiuyuan stopped for a while and asked: “Did something happen?”

“Uncle Xiu Yuan…” I quietly asked him: “Do you know Lin Shupei?”

The other party went completely silent. Only after a long time did he speak, and his voice was actually a bit hoarse.

“Where are you? I’ll come and find you.”

“At home.”

“Wait for me.”

Shen Xiuyuan’s sudden seriousness made me even more certain that this wasn’t a small matter, and that it wasn’t as easy as Mu Huainan had said it was.

He was fast and arrived in about half an hour.

He took off his coat and sat down on the sofa. “What’s going on?” he asked.

“How did you know about the Lin Shupei you mentioned on the phone?”

He was so impatient that before I could say a word, he couldn’t wait to ask his third question.

“Mu Huainan told you?”

I nodded.

“Tell me what happened.”

“Jing Yu was captured, last night when I went to the sanatorium to look for some clues, I accidentally found the killer who captured Jing Yu. I followed her, wanting to find Jing Yu’s whereabouts, but was accidentally discovered by her, if not for Uncle Huainan saving me in time, I would have had my neck twisted off.”

“Are you sure that person is Lin Shupei?”

I nodded.

“That’s impossible…” Shen Xiuyuan muttered, “Lin Shupei died ten years ago.”

My eyes were filled with shock. “Die… “Dead?”

“Right.” Shen Xiuyuan nodded: “She died, and in a miserable way.”

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. That woman, not to mention a human or a ghost, but she had come back with such a strong hatred, she definitely wouldn’t let this go easily.

“That Lin Shupei … “How did she die?” I asked carefully.

Shen Xiuyuan hesitated for a long time, not sure if he should tell me or not.

“This is a story from the past. He had a rule with Anfang, which is that we don’t talk about the past. What happened in the past is just like a seal that was placed on him. He is not allowed to open it again.”

I panicked: “But this is a special situation, a special situation, of course Jing Yu was taken away, Mu Huainan is nowhere to be found. Just tell me. ”

He thought for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh.

“Fine.” Shen Xiuyuan said as he looked into the distance, as if he was reminiscing those sealed stories, and had not taken them out in a long time. He took them out to see people, and even patted off the dust on them first.

After a long time, he suddenly asked me.

“Have you heard that there was a female artist involved with Mu Huainan in the show industry who was thrown into the ocean with acid in the end?”

I nodded. “I heard about it from the Pei-jie.”

“That person is Lin Shupei.”

I listened, stunned for half a second, my mind went blank, my heart felt like it had been filled with lead, and it was plummeting.

“Isn’t Lin Shupei He Fang’s men?”

Shen Xiuyuan nodded.

“In order to complete the mission given by the Owner, she faked entering the showbiz, just so that she could get close to the people she needs to use.”

This should be what Mu Huainan told me about the second mission.

“Then… The rumors … Is that true? ”

If Mu Huainan really did that to her, she would definitely come back to take revenge without even caring about her life. ”

Fortunately … Fortunately, Shen Xiuyuan shook his head when he heard my question.

I was a little relieved when I heard him say it.

“Worse than that.”

I suddenly didn’t dare to continue asking.

But even if I didn’t ask, Shen Xiuyuan would have continued speaking, and what should have come, no one can escape.

“Mu Huainan burned her house. At that time, she lived in an old courtyard. The house she lived in was almost burnt to ashes.”

I couldn’t believe my ears.

It took a long time for him to stutter a word in front of him.

“This… Is this really all Mu Huainan’s doing? ”

Shen Xiuyuan looked at me without nodding or shaking his head.

“It’s all in the past.”

I glared, not even daring to look at him. If I just closed my eyes, I would be able to see the scene of a raging inferno.

With those haggard eyes, I understand.

He finally understood why that woman was so afraid of Mu Huainan, why everyone would call him a demon, and why he was able to sit in his current position.

It was as if today, for all those reasons, there was finally a clear answer.

It was dark in front of me, and my head felt like it was going to fall down.

“An’an!” Shen Xiuyuan caught my body just in time to make me really fall. He looked at me worriedly: “You look really bad, have you not eaten breakfast yet?”

“How would I be able to eat?” I replied weakly.

“Hai.” Shen Xiuyuan sighed: “Oh you, no matter how anxious I am, I can’t get along with my body. I’ll go get some food for you, you should rest first.”

He helped me lie down on the couch, then got up and went to the kitchen to get some food.

I lay alone on the couch, still afraid to close my eyes.

I’m afraid not because I saw Mu Huainan’s ruthlessness, but because I understand one thing.

In the end, he had to repay those who owed him.

He had stepped on the blood of so many people just for the position of the Owner, and now, Lin Shupei might just be the beginning.

I can’t imagine what will happen next.

Not long after, Shen Xiuyuan came over with a bowl of hot porridge. He placed it in front of me and blew on it gently before feeding it to me, spoonful by spoonful.

“In the next few days, you should go back and live with He An.” He said: “Before Mu Huainan comes back, I must guarantee your safety.”

“Uncle Huainan will be in danger, right?”

“Silly girl, that’s the Mr. Mou, who has the ability to put him in danger? “Don’t let your thoughts run wild.”

I looked at him incredulously.

He continued to comfort me, “Come on, I know him best. In this world, other than you, there’s no one else who can hurt him.”

After feeding me another spoonful of congee, I tilted my head and said, “I’m not eating anymore. I’m full.”

Shen Xiuyuan got up, picked up the jacket off the sofa, and said while he wore it: “Alright, leave the matter of Mu Huainan and Jing Yu to me, you better not do anything reckless. I will have Old Zhao drive you over to He Fang Workshop in a while, you are the only one that can make Mu Huainan worry, at this critical juncture, you protecting yourself will be the greatest help to Mu Huainan.”

I nodded.

“Uncle Xiu Yuan, go quickly. I understand everything you’ve said, you can rest assured.”

Even though I was extremely anxious, but if I did something impulsively, I might end up messing up like last time and drag Mu Huainan down as well.

All I have to do is to protect myself.

I was at home and very soon, the people who came to pick me up from Anfang came. It wasn’t a weekend morning, and there weren’t many cars on the road from the villa area to Han-fang. The distance wasn’t too far, and it didn’t even take an hour to drive.

He looked up and saw that we were at a crossroads. A car suddenly rushed out from the left corner and stopped in front of us. It forced our car to a halt and blocked our path.

There was only me and the driver in the car, and we both felt the danger coming closer and closer.

“Madam, please don’t get off the carriage. I’ll go out to take a look first.”

I held my breath and watched as the driver got out of the car and walked directly to the driver’s side of the car. He reached out and knocked on the door of the car, and only then did the driver open the back door.

There was almost no time for communication. The man got off the car, raised a stick, and smashed towards the driver’s head.

The driver fell to the ground with no effort at all. The blood under his body slowly began to spread.

Now, I’m sure these people are here for no good reason. I’m not sure if they’re here for He An or for me.

However, he was definitely not an ordinary street hoodlum. After all, this car belonged to An Fang. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to recognize it, and no one would dare to blatantly rob and steal An Fang’s car.

Thinking this way, it was more likely that they were coming for me.

Before I could hesitate, I unbuckled the copilot’s seat belt and went around to sit in the driver’s seat. The windows and doors were locked, the engine was roaring, the car was in reverse, and with a step on the gas pedal, I began to back away.

Thirty-six strategies, leaving was the best strategy. Since their goal wasn’t He Fang, the driver wouldn’t be affected by them for now.

Behind him was an empty street. He had just retreated a few dozen meters when he saw a car speeding towards him. It was getting closer and clearer.

If they didn’t stop, they would definitely collide.

I grit my teeth. I have no choice but to step on the brakes.

The other person stopped right behind me. The distance between the car and mine was less than a meter.

As I watched, my back felt cold and I couldn’t help but gasp.
