Xu Youning lay on the bed, feeling bored. She was thinking about how to spend the day when the door was pushed open.

“Who else would come in without knocking on the door except for Mu Sijue?” she thought.

She sat up and looked at Mu Sijue in confusion. “Aren’t you going out? Why are you back?”

Mu Sijue handed the phone to Xu Youning and said, “Look.”

There was a photo on the screen.

In the photo, Mumu was holding a bowl of instant noodles. He looked happy and satisfied, his lips were red, and his smile was radiant.

However, the background of the photo was very strange—how could Mumu be in the deserted suburb?

Mu Sijue said, “Liang Zhong kidnapped him.”

“Mumu was kidnapped!”

Xu Youning jumped out of bed in an instant and looked at Mu Sijue anxiously, asking, “Why did Liang Zhong kidnap Mumu? And why did he send you the photo?”

Mu Sijue thought it was right for him to tell Xu Youning the reason. Otherwise, if Liang Zhong killed Mumu, Xu Youning would probably not forgive him for the rest of her life.

But he never thought that Xu Youning would be so nervous when she heard the news. He felt a little upset…

He would get even with her for this in the future.

Mu Sijue said honestly, “Liang Zhong wants to own that business all for himself. If I disagree, he’ll kill Mumu.”

“Liang Zhong kidnapped Mumu just to threaten you?” Xu Youning soon understood Liang Zhong’s intention, “It’s not a small business, yet he wants it all for himself. Is he not afraid of bad consequences for himself?”

Mu Sijue reminded her lightly. “That’s not the point.”

Xu Youning also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to save Mumu, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She looked at Mu Sijue and asked, “What are you going to do?”

Mu Sijue said meaningfully, “It all depends.”

Xu Youning knew Mu Sijue meant that it all depended on her.

She clenched her fists and said, “Mu Sijue, I beg you to save Mumu. He is only four years old. He shouldn’t be involved in your business.”

Mu Sijue sneered and said, “If I save Mumu, what benefits will I get?”

Xu Youning closed her eyes and said, “As long as you can save him, I can promise you anything.”

Mu Sijue was obviously very satisfied with her words, and a smile appeared on his face.

He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “What if I say I like your jealous reaction?”

What did it mean?

What happened that night came to Xu Youning’s mind.

She knew that Mu Sijue would not miss this opportunity!

However, thinking of Mumu, Xu Youning could only agree. “I’ll be jealous every day in the future, is that okay?”

“Good, I’m looking forward to it.”

Mu Sijue smiled happily and left the room.

Xu Youning did not want to stay in the room anymore. She put on her coat and went downstairs. Aunt Zhou told her that Mu Sijue had left.

He probably had gone to negotiate with Liang Zhong.

In fact, Mu Sijue would have to pay a great price to save Mumu.

It was obvious that others would definitely not allow Mu Sijue to kick them out of the business. So Mu Sijue’s reputation and deterrent power would be affected.

Even if those people agreed, Mu Sijue had to pay a lot of compensatory payments.

He must have lost a lot for saving Mumu.

However, Mu Sijue still looked happy and expectant about it.

What was even more strange was that he never surrendered to any threat, and this time Liang Zhong threatened him so boldly. Would he let him get whatever he wanted?

It was not in line with his usual style of conduct!

Xu Youning couldn’t help but suspect that Mu Sijue might have other plans. Maybe he wouldn’t need to pay any price to save Mumu.

“Youning.” Aunt Zhou came over with a plate of fruits. “Eat some fruits. It will take a while for lunch to get ready. I’m afraid you’ll be hungry.”

“Thank you, Aunt Zhou.”

Xu Youning picked up an apple and took a bite. She took out her phone and looked at the photo of Mumu that she had just received from Mu Sijue.

Mumu was so smart that it was impossible for him not to know that he had been kidnapped.

However, he was still eating the instant noodles happily.

“Does he have other plans, just like Mu Sijue?” Xu Youning wondered.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that she didn’t know much about adults or children…

After lunch, Xu Youning made a phone call to Mu Sijue and asked, “How’s your negotiation with Liang Zhong? How’s Mumu now?”

“Liang Zhong won’t hurt him for the time being. I’ll go back,” Mu Sijue said, “Liang Zhong should be on his way to the club now. You’ll see Mumu soon.”

Xu Youning held her phone tightly and asked, “Mu Sijue, are you sure you can deal with him?”

Indeed, there was no doubt about Mu Sijue’s ability, but this time it was about Mumu. Xu Youning couldn’t help but want to confirm it.

Mu Sijue sneered. “You overestimated Liang Zhong.”

Hearing that, Xu Youning felt relieved and sat in the living room, waiting for Mu Sijue to return.

At about two o’clock in the afternoon, Mu Sijue returned to the top of the mountain, but he didn’t go back to his villa. Instead, he led a large group of people into the club, ordered them to prepare something, and then went to another private room.

In that private room, his several other partners were also present.

At half-past four, his subordinates entered the private room and told him that Liang Zhong had arrived.

Mu Sijue walked out of the club and saw Liang Zhong and his subordinates, but he didn’t see Mumu.

Liang Zhong was cunning. Mu Sijue couldn’t help but ask, “Where is Kang Ruicheng’s son?”

“He is in the car,” Liang Zhong said with a smile, “as long as you give me that deal, I’ll even leave the car for you, let alone that boy!”

Mu Sijue sneered. “At least, I have to confirm whether he is really in the car.”

Liang Zhong casually threw over a phone, which displayed the surveillance inside the car. It showed that Liang Zhong’s two subordinates were chatting happily with Mumu, who called them uncle and pleased them.

Mu Sijue asked someone to hand a file to Liang Zhong.

With that, the business and the high profits it would bring all belonged to Liang Zhong!

Liang Zhong laughed and held the file in his arms, saying, “Mu Sijue, let someone follow me to the foot of the mountain. After I make sure I’m safe, I’ll naturally hand the boy over to you.”

Mu Sijue said coldly, “You agreed that you would give me that boy when I give you the business.”

“He is in my car, so you must listen to me!” Liang Zhong laughed. Before he could stop laughing, a subordinate of his ran over and whispered to him, “Sir, that boy is gone. Xiaohu and the other guy have fainted in the car!”

It was obvious that Mumu made the two adult men faint and ran away alone.

Liang Zhong was amazed. “Get in the car and leave immediately!”

He had got what he wanted, so it didn’t matter where the boy went. What mattered was that once Mu Sijue knew that the boy had run away, Liang Zhong would be besieged immediately.

This was Mu Sijue’s territory. Without that boy, he was no match for Mu Sijue at all!

Mu Sijue noticed Liang Zhong’s nervous expression. He looked at the phone that Liang Zhong had thrown over just now. The surveillance showed that Mumu was not in the car, and Liang Zhong’s two subordinates had fainted.

Liang Zhong obviously knew that and wanted to run.

“Seventh Brother, what should we do now?” asked one of his subordinates.

“Deal with Liang Zhong as planned. In addition, go to the security room to check the surveillance video and see where the boy has gone, and…”

Before Mu Sijue could finish his words, he heard a childish voice. “Uncle!”

Mu Sijue heard this voice 10 days ago in the hospital, so he was familiar with it.

Looking over, he saw Mumu.

Liang Zhong also noticed Mumu, but he could not stay here, so he quickly drove away from the mountain top.

Mumu ran toward Mu Sijue. When he was still a few steps away from Mu Sijue, he suddenly jumped to him and said, “Uncle, it’s really you!”

He was neatly dressed in his clothes, and his hair was not messy at all. It did not seem like he had fought two adults before.

Mu Sijue was curious about him. “How did you get out of the car?”

“Hah!” Mumu spread out his palm, revealing a white thing like medical glue, and replied, “I have a secret weapon!”

“Hmm,” Mu Sijue said, “how to use it?”

“Well, if you stick it to someone’s neck, they will faint.” Mumu raised his hand and was about to put it on his neck. “Do you want me to show you?”

Mu Sijue stopped him and said, “No, I know what it is.”

Mumu smiled and said, “Can you take me to see Auntie Youning?”

“I don’t know where she is,” Mu Sijue said it on purpose.

Mumu was smart enough to know that it was a lie. “You are lying. Auntie Youning must be with you!”

Mu Sijue was surprised by his affirmative tone. “How did you know that?”

“Uncle Dongzi said that Aunt Youning was with the man who went to the hospital last time, and the man was you. Why did you lie to me?” Mumu’s eyes turned tearful, and his voice sounded pitiful. “If you don’t take me to see Aunt Youning, I will…”

“You will?” Mu Sijue wanted to see how the boy would threaten him.

“I’ll just faint here!” After saying that, Mumu couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Mu Sijue was speechless and, at the same time, softhearted towards this boy. He reached out to him and said, “I’ll take you to see your Aunt Youning.”

Mumu blinked his eyes in surprise. He grabbed one of Mu Sijue’s fingers and followed him.

Xu Youning had been waiting for news in the room. When it was almost five o’clock, she decided to call Mu Sijue. Then, she heard someone coming in.

It was Mu Sijue and Mumu.

Mumu also saw Xu Youning. He let go of Mu Sijue’s hand and ran to Xu Youning. “Aunt Youning!”

Xu Youning hugged Mumu and asked, “Did you get hurt?”

Mumu shook his head and said, “No, that bad guy can’t hurt me!”

Xu Youning was surprised and amused by the words. “You knew he was a bad guy. Why did you still go with him?”

“Because I wanted to see you,” Mumu said. “He said that he knew where you were, so I went with him. If he lied to me, I would call my daddy, and he will pick me up and bring me home!”

“What if that uncle not only lied to you but also wanted to hurt you?” Xu Youning warned Mumu. “Don’t go with strangers next time.”

Before Mumu could answer her, Mu Sijue suddenly said, “You don’t have to worry about him. He just made Liang Zhong’s two men faint and ran out on his own.”

“Hah hah!” Mumu showed that white thing in his palm again. “I have a secret weapon!”
