nFor the first time, Mu Sijue felt a chill running through him because of a feeling of panic. His hands couldn’t help trembling.

nWhen he pointed the gun at Xu Youning, had she ever thought of telling him the truth if he had made up his mind to kill her?

nThe answer must be yes.

nBut she still decided to leave to save Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan first and tried to figure out what to do about her child.

nBut she did not need to do this with her life.

nIf he really pulled the trigger, Xu Youning might tell him about the blood clots and explain that she had not taken the medicine.

nHowever, he was the first to give up and let Xu Youning leave in the end.

nIn that battle without gunpowder, Xu Youning was the winner.

nMu Sijue smashed his clenched fist down on the wooden tea table, almost breaking it.

nDoctor Liu could imagine how much pain Mu Sijue would feel after the punch. Her face changed and she asked, “Mr. Mu, is your hand… all right?”

nMu Sijue recalled the origin of the misunderstanding—the empty Mifepristone & Misoprostol bottle.

nHe didn’t care about his hand at all. He stared at Doctor Liu with bloodshot eyes and asked, “Why did Xu Youning have Mifepristone and Misoprostol in her hand?”

n“Mifepristone and Misoprostol? Oh, I gave it to Ms. Xu,” Doctor Liu said, “the child had no signs of life in the first test, so I suggested to Ms. Xu to give up the child and receive the treatment. A few days ago, I did another test and found the child was fine. Fortunately, she didn’t take the medicine. Otherwise, I would be riddled with guilt.”

nXu Youning didn’t take Mifepristone & Misoprostol. The test result from the private hospital that Mu Sijue took her to was just a misunderstanding.

nLike a general who was defeated on the battlefield, Mu Sijue lowered his eyes and even the lines of his shoulders were no longer as erect as usual.

nFeeling sad for Mu Sijue, Su Jian’an suddenly wanted to shield him from the Earth.

nShe didn’t want anyone to see this dejected and dispirited Mu Sijue.

nDoctor Liu also couldn’t imagine that the man who seemed to be able to call the wind and summon the rain could be so depressed in the blink of an eye.

nA long time later, Mu Sijue asked hoarsely, “So, Xu Youning chose to keep the child?”

n“Yes.” Doctor Liu thought for seconds and hazarded a guess, “She may have thought that if she could hold on to give birth to the child, then he will grow up healthily. He is a continuation of her even though she couldn’t survive.”

nMu Sijue seemed to be struck by something. He gave Doctor Liu a sharp look, asking, “Hold on to give birth to the child? What does it mean?”

nOnly then did Doctor Liu remember that she had not told Mu Sijue the worst news.

nWould Mu Sijue be shattered if he knew Xu Youning would die soon?

nDoctor Liu glanced at Mu Sijue with a little fear and said, “Ms. Xu’s current condition is unstable. She… might die at any time.”

nMu Sijue’s heart suddenly missed a beat and his eyes dilated. He glared at Doctor Liu like a demon and shouted, “What did you just say?”

nDoctor Liu was startled and didn’t dare to speak.

nIn fact, Mu Sijue heard it clearly—the blood clots were a serious threat to Xu Youning’s life, and she could die at any time.

nEven so, Xu Youning still didn’t want to accept the treatment and chose the child over herself.

nMu Sijue suddenly remembered that he told Xu Youning repeatedly that he wanted the child at the top of the mountain.

n“Did Xu Youning make such a stupid choice because of his adamant wish?”

nIf so, Xu Youning was silly enough!

nDoctor Liu was scared when she saw Mu Sijue’s dark face, but she didn’t dare to escape.

nSu Jian’an walked over to Doctor Liu and told her to relax—Mu Sijue would not vent his anger on her no matter how much regret he felt.

nDoctor Liu nodded, though still afraid.

nSu Jian’an then asked, “Doctor Liu, do you remember when Yunyun met up with you?”

n“Yes, she obviously came to sound me out. I found her behavior rather strange, so I didn’t dare to tell her anything.” Doctor Liu looked at Su Jian’an in surprise, “Is Dr. Xiao on your side?”

n“Yes!” Su Jian’an didn’t have time to explain much and just continued, “Yunyun told me that she saw Sijue’s phone number on your desk. Did Youning leave it to you?”

n“Yes,” Doctor Liu nodded and said, “A few days ago, Ms. Xu suddenly came back and gave me Mr. Mu’s phone number. She told me to contact Mr. Mu only if there was an emergency.”

nSu Jian’an was right. It was Xu Youning who had given Doctor Liu Mu Sijue’s phone number.

nSu Jian’an continued to ask, “Doctor Liu, why did you suddenly resign?”

nDoctor Liu answered honestly, “A few days ago, Ms. Xu suddenly called and asked me if I could go into hiding in a secure place. I thought something might happen, so I resigned from the hospital.”

n“I see,” Su Jian’an glanced at Mu Sijue, “What else do you want to ask Doctor Liu?”

n“Nothing,” Mu Sijue called his subordinate and ordered, “Send Doctor Liu and Miss Ye back.”

nYe Luo had been standing aside and listening to the whole conversation. But the more she listened, the more confused she was. She even suspected that she had time-traveled. It was not until Mu Sijue called her name that she suddenly roused herself and looked at Mu Sijue blankly. “What?”

nJust as Su Jian’an was about to say that Ye Luo had nothing to do with the current situation, the door suddenly opened and Song Jiqing dashed in like a gust of wind.

nSong Jiqing had been running at full speed. If one listened carefully, one could hear him panting. His heaving chest also sold him out.

n“What’s going on?” Song Jiqing stared at Mu Sijue with the fire burning in his eyes, “Mu Qi, why did you bring Ye Luo here?”

nSong Jiqing came for Ye Luo as expected.

nSu Jian’an looked at Ye Luoluo and then at Song Jiqing meaningfully. She thought to herself, “The good play that Mu Sijue mentioned should be about to begin, isn’t it?”

nWell, she was gossipy. She was curious about what would happen between Song Jiqing and Ye Luo.

nSong Jiqing was really anxious.

nHaving been acquainted with Mu Sijue for so many years, he knew Mu Sijue too well.

nPeople who were targeted by Mu Sijue would never have a good end.

nYe Luo could not be caught by Mu Sijue!

nMu Sijue didn’t want to respond. At this time, Ye Luoluo had already known what was happening.

nShe looked at Song Jiqing for a few seconds and suddenly stepped forward after confirming it was really him. She stared at Song Jiqing and said, “Sir, I should be the one asking you. Why are you here?”

nSong Jiqing gazed at Ye Luo with displeasure. “Wicked girl. Can’t you be more gentle after so many years? No wonder you can’t find a boyfriend!”

n“Why are you staring at me?” Ye Luo almost jumped up as she was not as tall as Song Jiqing, “Answer my question. How long have you been here?”

nSong Jiqing gritted his teeth and hissed, looking at Ye Luo in a displeased manner.

nYe Luo didn’t care about Song Jiqing’s mood. Just as she was about to get mad, Song Jiqing pinched her ear sharply and lifted her up.

nHer ears were the most sensitive part of her body. Song Jiqing knew that clearly!

n“Damn, scumbag! Song Jiqing must have done that on purpose!”

n“Quiet!” Song Jiqing ordered in a masterful tone, “Just follow me.”

nYe Luo did not obey Song Jiqing. She struggled all the way and even hit him. However, Song Jiqing could always subdue her. She couldn’t break free at all.

nSoon, Song Jiqing pulled Ye Luoluo away from the room, leaving some confused onlookers behind.

nThe one who was most curious was Doctor Liu.

nYe Luo was her niece, but a bespectacled gentleman tugged Ye Luo away in front of her.

nThe strangest thing was that she was not worried at all.

nPerhaps it was because the man did not look dangerous. Most importantly, he and Ye Luo… seemed to be quite familiar with each other.

nThe only person that Ye Luo was acquainted with was the man from City G.

nDoctor Liu looked at Su Jian’an uncertainly and asked, “Is that man from City G?”

n“Yes,” Su Jian’an nodded and said, “his name is Song Jiqing. He seems to be very familiar with Dr. Ye…”

nDoctor Liu nodded in relief, saying, “Then I can rest assured.”

nSu Jian’an was speechless. “Is it because Song Jiqing is good-looking?”

nThe matter between Song Jiqing and Ye Luo was just an interlude. Xu Youning was the heroine of today’s story.

nSu Jian’an pointed at the door and said, “Doctor Liu, let me walk you out.”

nAs soon as they went out of the ward, Doctor Liu asked Su Jian’an, “Do you want to ask me something?”

n“No,” Su Jian’an shook her head with a smile, “I just want to tell you that you’ll be fine.”

nThis time, it was Doctor Liu’s turn to be stunned. “What do you mean?” she asked.

n“I know Kang Ruicheng. I’m very clear about what kind of person he is. You must have been frightened when you dealt with him,” Su Jian’an smiled slightly and her soft look and voice were particularly reassuring, “We will arrange a place for you to stay and protect you from Kang Ruicheng. You are safe now.”

nDoctor Liu had been involved in Xu Youning and Kang Ruicheng’s affairs for no reason. When she thought of it occasionally, she would sometimes regret having attended to Xu Youning.

nOver the past few days when she was hiding here, she lived in fear all the time.

nSu Jian’an’s words reassured her.

nDoctor Liu’s eyes suddenly reddened and she nodded at Su Jian’an, saying, “Thank you, Mrs. Lu.”

n“Not at all,” Su Jian’an kept smiling, “We may have to trouble you with Youning’s matter in the future. I hope you can help us.”

n“I’d love to,” Doctor Liu nodded and promised.

nSu Jian’an asked her subordinates to send Doctor Liu back and then returned to the suite.

nMu Sijue was alone in the living room. He stood in front of the French windows, smoking, without any regard that this was a ward.

nSu Jian’an didn’t like the smell of cigarettes. But at this time, Mu Sijue needed this cigarette.

nShe walked over and whispered, “Sijue, let’s talk about Youning.”

nMu Sijue took a deep drag on his cigarette and did not reply.

nSu Jian’an thought that a person as powerful as Mu Sijue needed time to digest so much bad news.

nWhen she was about to go out and leave Mu Sijue alone, she heard Mu Sijue saying—

n“I totally misunderstood her.”
