When the night was dark and windy and the lanes were silent, it would be the perfect time and place to kill and destroy the body.

Xu Youning was more upset when she thought about it, “Ah Guang, will Seventh Brother ask you to kill me right now?”

Ah Guang sympathetically looked at Xu Youning and said, “Sister Youning, your crisis awareness is very strong! …Do you want to run now?”

Mu Sijue couldn’t bear to listen. “Shut up! Ah Guang, go buy two bottles of water.”

“Oh, right away!” Ah Guang ran to the small shop nearby.

Xu Youning organized an apology for mercy, thinking about how to impress Mu Sijue to win his sympathy. Mu Sijue suddenly called her, “Xu Youning.”

“What?”

“…Come here!”

Xu Youning walked a little embarrassedly. Mu Sijue stood up by holding her hand, and he looked very uncomfortable. Xu Youning subconsciously gently stroked his back like how grandma usually did to her.

She did not realize that Mu Sijue’s back trembled a little bit, as if hit by a force.

“Are you alright?” Xu Youning asked.

Mu Sijue stared at her gloomily. “What do you think?”

Xu Youning immediately bowed her head, “…I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through.”

At that time, Ah Guang came back with a few bottles of water. Xu Youning opened one quickly and handed it over to Mu Sijue. He gargled and his face finally returned to normal.

But he still felt uncomfortable, so Mu Sijue took off his tie. Ah Guang found that Xu Youning suddenly stepped back two steps. He looked at her; the little girl’s lips moved a bit, but she did not say anything.

He asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Seventh Brother.” Xu Youning was about to cry. “please don’t kill me.”

Mu Sijue gave a look at the tie in his hand. She thought that he would strangle her with a tie?

He smiled and pulled his tie with some strength; Xu Youning was so scared that her face turned pale and held her neck with both of her hands to beg him.

He was very satisfied with her reaction, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Mu Sijue actually seldom smiled. So even if he slightly raised his lips, it was enough to show that he was in a very good mood.

Xu Youning realized that Mu Sijue just scared her so she could only look at him silently.

So childish!

“Ah Guang, get in the car.”

Mu Sijue got in the car, the taillights’ luminance quickly disappeared from her sight, but she did not return to the house for a long time.

She was very surprised. Mu Sijue, who was defiant and strictly asked other people to follow his rules, faced a table of food that he did not like, and swallowed. He also addressed her grandma politely. It completely subverted his usual dangerous and cold look.

Xu Youning would not admit that when she was eating, she felt that Mu Sijue was very handsome several times.

……

……

City A.

The newspaper suddenly released the news that Su Hongyuan was re-admitted.

It seemed that it was only a matter of time for the Su Enterprise to fall in the hands of Lu Boyan.

Since accidentally seeing the news in the newspaper during breakfast, Su Jianan was distracted, and that continued for the rest of the day. Lu Yanyan came to pick her up in the afternoon, and she didn’t even notice that the car stopped in front of her for a while.

Finally, Lu Boyan got off and walked to her, “Jianan?”

“Ah?” Su Jianan came to herself and looked at Lu Boyan standing in front of him. “Hey? You’re here.”

Lu Boyan took a deep look at Su Jianan and immediately opened the car door. He laid his hand on the top of the door. “Get in the car.”

When she got in, Su Jianan was still distracted. She also gave simple responses to Lu Boyan while he was talking to her. After a while, Lu Boyan said, “We’re here.”

Su Jianan thought that she was home, so she wanted to open the door subconsciously, but found that the car was parked in front of the hospital.

She looked back at Lu Boyan inexplicably.

Lu Boyan just said, “I will wait for you in the car.”

Su Jianan’s head was in a blank and her eyes were full of entanglements. “I…” She didn’t know what he was thinking in his head.

Lu Boyan helplessly rubbed her hair, as if he would give his understanding and support to her for anything. “Go.”

Su Jianan felt inspired and her mind became clear all at once. Eventually she went to Su Hongyuan’s ward. She heard across the door that Jiang Xueli was quarreling with him, and she was talking about “divorce” all the time.

Su Hongyuan was very angry. “I can’t promise! Jiang Xueli, I will not let you go, let’s suffer to death together!”

Jiang Xueli rushed out of the door and met Su Jianan. She glared at her and walked away.

Su Jianan went into the ward and glanced at the medical record. From the messy handwriting of the doctor, she knew that Su Hongyuan was fine.

Su Hongyuan was not willing to let Su Jianan see how terrible he looked, so he faced the other away, “What are you doing here? You are very happy to see Jiang Xueli doing this to me, right?” He saw sympathy from Su Jianan’s eyes which were exactly like her mother’s.

“No, I think you are very pitiful,” Su Jianan said.

Every single word hit Su Hongyuan right in his heart. His face looked terrible, and he couldn’t even say a word.

“Now can you answer me a question?” Su Jianan asked, “why did you cheat on Jiang Xueli at that time?”

It was just like how it was difficult to go from extravagance to thrift. Her mother was so good at that time, so she couldn’t figure out why Su Hongyuan would fall in love with Jiang Xueli anyway.

Su Hongyuan smiled and said, “Your mother is very good, with great background and decent manners, but she is just the type that is suitable for taking out. Jianan, you are very similar to your mother.”

Su Jianan heard what Su Hongyuan was trying to say. “What do you mean?”

“I mean you have to be careful with Lu Boyan,” Su Hongyuan said. “He has the largest brokerage company in the country; even a superstar like Han Ruoxi wouldn’t mind to be his mistress. Men want to conquer the world, but they want to conquer a woman more. Lu Boyan has conquered the entire business community. Do you think he will be satisfied with only one woman?”

“Don’t think that everyone is as filthy as you are,” Su Jianan said it word by word. “You don’t deserve to compare with Boyan.”

“He came to warn me before, that if I dared to hurt you, he would have the Su Enterprise disappear from this world. It seems that he is really good to you.” Su Hongyuan smiled and continued, “Since you are willing to be so naive, then go ahead and believe that he would always be loyal to you.”

For the first time, Su Jianan felt that she was really naive. Why would she want to visit a person like this?

She turned away from the ward without hesitation. When she reached the door, Su Hongyuan suddenly said, “Don’t think that Lu Boyan is so powerful. He is still too young to think about pulling me down, and you trust him too much!”

Su Jianan was not moved by Su Hongyuan’s words, and she just walked away without looking back once.

Even if one day she doubted the whole world, she would not doubt Lu Boyan.

If Su Jianan turned back, she could find that Su Hongyuan looked extremely ferocious in the hospital bed, like a desperate person making the final struggle.

Even if he couldn’t find hope for survival, he would fight to make a life-and-death struggle.

As what he had said to Jiang Xueli: ‘Since he was not good, then no one should be good!’

……

When Su Jianan returned to the car, Lu Boyan saw that her face was not right. He closed the document and asked, “What did Su Hongyuan say to you?”

“Did you come to visit him before?” Su Jianan looked at Lu Boyan. “When?”

“…A few days before you went to San Ching town for a business trip.”

Su Jianan’s memory was suddenly pulled back. At that time, she and Lu Boyan misunderstood each other and he thought that she liked Jiang Shaokai. She thought that Lu Boyan was tired of her.

So she proposed a divorce, and Lu Boyan agreed.

Under such circumstances, Lu Boyan still considered that Su Hongyuan would hurt her in the future, and would like to end her troubles for her?

Su Jianan’s eyes gradually became soft and she held on to Lu Boyan’s hand without hiding her love at all. She said, “Let’s not talk about it! Right, how is the merger going?”

“Jianan, if you…” Lu Boyan was ready to give Su Hongyuan a break, as long as Su Jianan asked.

Su Jianan shook her head and interrupted Lu Boyan, “I will not sympathize with Su Hongyuan. The most profitable business of the Su Enterprise is the foundation laid by my grandfather. The company, which was founded by Su Hongyuan, was only a small one. After my grandfather died, my mom couldn’t take care of it, and gave the company’s control to Su Hongyuan in a silly way. Su Hongyuan merged his Su Enterprise into my grandfather’s company and changed its name, so he could be so successful very fast.”

Lu Boyan finally understood. “So your brother wants to acquire the Su Enterprise?”

Su Jianan nodded and said, “My brother wants to get back what belongs to my mother. Now he handed it over to you. I think he believes that giving it to you is just like giving it to me.”

Lu Boyan held Su Jianan and said, “After the merger, I will auction the original Su Enterprise independently and leave your grandfather’s part.”

Su Jianan did not want Su Hongyuan’s company, so she smiled and said, “Okay!”

However, the change was always sudden and unpredictable.

Su Enterprise, which was in danger, suddenly received a lot of money for support, and the whole company came back to life again.

Su Hongyuan first convened the meeting of board of directors, then held a media conference to announce that he was unwell, so he invited a professional manager to be the CEO of the Su Enterprise. Today, the CEO would start to take care all Su Enterprise matters for him.

“Mr. Su, who gave Su Enterprise investment capital to bring the company back to life?” The media asked.

Su Hongyuan smiled, “It is an overseas investor who is very optimistic about the future development of our Su Enterprise. I can only tell you that he has a very unique vision. Please trust that this investor also trusts in Su Enterprise and our CEO.”

On the same day, the stock of Su Enterprise rose again.

The outside world was still speculating who was so kind to save the Su Enterprise. Lu Boyan had found that the person who paid a large sum to Su Enterprise was Kang Ruicheng.

The so-called CEO was actually a person on his side, or a puppet of Kang Ruicheng. Afterwards, he might be the real master of Su Enterprise.

Lu Boyan already knew without guessing that Kang Ruicheng would turn the Su Enterprise into some other company, and Su Hongyuan probably did not know that he was being used by Kang Ruicheng.

Shen Yuechuan pushed the door and entered in a hurry, “Sh*t, what does Kang Ruicheng want?”

Lu Boyan leaned slightly against the back of the chair, and there was a force in the deep and narrow eyes that contained everything but calmness. He said, “He wants to pull down Lu Enterprises.”

“… Do people like them just like to daydream?”

Lu Boyan slightly raised his lips and replied, “Maybe.”

Shen Yuechuan suddenly felt a chill on his back.

It would be naive to really think that Lu Boyan was smiling. That was a typical sign that he had locked on his target and was ready to win.
