After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang
Chapter 53 Uninvited Guest
When daylight first came, Shen Zhao rubbed his eyes and opened them with misty eyes. What he saw was Mu Yanchen's icy skin and delicate body in deep sleep. He had been well taken care of by her at this moment, and was in much better condition than during the graduation trip. Although it was not the first time they slept in the same bed, Shen Zhao still couldn't get used to it.
She gently moved her body a little to the side, making room between her and Mu Yanchen, which allowed her to breathe more easily.
Looking at Mu Yanchen's peaceful eyes, Shen Zhao felt that he had been too suspicious before. Mu Yanchen clearly never said anything about restricting her movements and freedom, but she still wanted to conceal it. Thinking of the hurt expression on Mu Yanchen's face when talking about the evening study, Shen Zhao felt guilty.
She should trust him more. Besides, she has a new body now. As long as she doesn't produce definite evidence, no one will associate her with Sheng Baiyi. She and Sheng Baiyi are two parallel lines and there is no such thing as intersection. Thinking of this, she felt more at ease. Moreover, she had never heard of Mu Yanchen before, so he probably had nothing to do with Sheng Baiyi.
Although she didn't tell everyone everything, she only told him about the agreement with the old lady. Since she was in her third year of high school and had a heavy workload, and Mu Yanchen was her sponsor and boyfriend, it was normal for him to be concerned about her future. It was also understandable that she lied for the old lady's agreement. Judging from Mu Yanchen's expression at the time, he seemed to believe it. She only said that there was no need to hide it from him in the future and that a driver would be sent to pick her up later. Judging from this result, Shen Zhao felt that it was more convenient for him.
This page has been turned smoothly.
She got up quietly and walked to the kitchen to make medicine for Mu Yanchen to drink in the morning. When she turned around, she saw Mu Yanchen leaning against the door, staring at her. She didn't know when he stood there.
"Uh, you're awake. It's still early. I wanted to let you sleep a little longer." Shen Zhao was a little shy. Her hands were wet, and she wiped them on her body with her hands dancing.
Seeing Shen Zhao panicking for him, Mu Yanchen felt a warmth filling his heart, filling every corner, as if it was too full and about to burst. This was a delusion in the past, but now it has finally come true, and the person he loves is standing in front of him.
Unable to control himself, Mu Yanchen walked over and hugged Shen Zhao from behind, with his chin resting on her shoulder. Shen Zhao noticed that Mu Yanchen seemed to particularly like holding her like this, making her feel that he was very attached to her.
She tilted her head to look at him, "The medicine is almost ready. I adjusted the dosage this time. It will be good for your current body."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Mu Yanchen's thin cheek with her backhand, "Look, you need to eat more. You're too thin, it hurts."
"Don't you like being thin?"
Shen Zhao was stunned. She didn't think Mu Yanchen was this kind of personality before. In her eyes, he had always been a domineering president. But now she really saw that Mu Yanchen was more of a clingy big dog. As long as she returned to the manor, he would appear around her and then do his best to stick to her.
Shen Zhao blushed when he asked her this, and her ears became hot unconsciously. "I like you. I like you no matter what you become."
The sweet words between lovers are the most touching. Mu Yanchen smiled when he heard them, and the depression of many years seemed to be gone as long as she said she loved him.
After seeing Shen Zhao off, Mu Yanchen's smile faded. He walked slowly back to his study and curled up on the sofa with a view of the manor driveway. Shen Zhao had taken good care of him these days. He was more energetic during the day and his hands and feet were getting stronger.
Situ Rui stood aside and didn't dare to make a sound. Lately, he felt more and more that the old Mu Yanchen had returned, especially when he met his pair of scorching, deep eyes, which always made him feel a chill down his spine.
Mu Yanchen liked looking out the window recently. He didn't even look at Situ Rui and asked casually, "How was it in the East District last night?"
Situ Rui's expression became serious, and he said seriously: "Duan Luchong replaced all of Ji Zhengxuan's forces in the eastern district of H City, and the latest news is that Ji Zhengxuan was crippled by Duan Luchong's group. The operation was done in the middle of the night."
Mu Yanchen raised his eyebrows, his eyes were emotionless, his slender fingers pinched a small spoon and slowly stirred the tea in the cup, creating ripples, "It's a good thing for him, Du Ren and the others are really loyal, they didn't take advantage of the situation to defect, and they found him in such a short time, he's lucky."
He leisurely picked up the teacup, opened his thin lips and took a sip. His movements were graceful and smooth. His loose clothes concealed his frailty, making him look like a nobleman. "Mu Guichao has been acting a bit aggressively lately."
"Yes, I think I got the information," Situ Rui said with a serious expression, "after knowing that Sheng Baiyi was dead."
Situ Rui was always very careful whenever he mentioned Sheng Baiyi. Ever since that day when Mu Yanchen saw her body, his nerves had been tense. Now that he could talk about it so calmly, Situ Rui attributed it to Lin Han's bad idea. Mu Yanchen completely treated Shen Zhao as a substitute, and his importance was even greater than that of Shen Zhao.
Mu Yanchen turned his head and stared at Situ Rui with his dark eyes, "Do you know what Sheng Baiyi means to the Mu family?"
Situ Rui was stunned for a moment. He had been suspicious before. Why did both Mu Yanchen and Mu Guichao who was far away in Shengjing have an inexplicable dependence on Sheng Baiyi? Although they did not get along with Sheng Baiyi at close range, both of them silently protected that woman within their own range. He used to think that they both fell in love with Sheng Baiyi at the same time, but later he found out that only Mu Yanchen fell in love with Sheng Baiyi, and Mu Guichao simply wanted to protect that woman.
Hearing Mu Yanchen ask this, Situ Rui suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened. He stared blankly at the man sipping tea.
Mu Yanchen said, "You have followed me for a few years, and you know that my health has always been poor."
Situ Rui listened quietly, but he actually felt like he didn't want to listen any further. After all, what was going to be said next might be the secret of the Mu family, and he was not the one who should know that. He swallowed and wanted to leave, but his feet seemed to be fixed in place, so he just listened to him talk.
"In fact, I am not the only one like this, but all the male members of the Mu family are like this. Our blood is different from that of ordinary people. It carries a bit of poison, which is passed down from the mother's womb. As for who did it, it was probably the deceased first wife who hated the patriarch of the Mu family the most. Her child cannot be normal, and she cannot let the children of the women below have an easy life. I guess that's the case."
"And that kind of poison has no antidote to this day. I was abandoned and sent to H City when I was in high school. Of course, I was left to fend for myself. Shengjing has the best medical team, but H City has nothing. There was not even a family doctor assigned to me. However, I was lucky to meet Sheng Baiyi. A few years later, when the Mu family found out that I was still alive, they began to pay attention to Sheng Baiyi."
When mentioning Sheng Baiyi, Mu Yanchen's eyes were soft, and even Situ Rui who was standing beside him could feel it.
"The latest drug developed by Xinrui Pharmaceutical Company is to deal with the toxins in our bodies. The most important member is Sheng Baiyi." Mu Yanchen's eyes darkened when he said this. "I don't know who leaked the information. I'm afraid Mu Guichao knows it. Although I don't know if he is the real murderer, he is indeed the biggest suspect now. The information is very important to both him and me." He glanced at Situ Rui, "You should also understand the connection. The information is in his hands now, and Sheng Baiyi is dead."
Whenever he talked about Sheng Baiyi's death, Mu Yanchen clenched his fists, his heart felt like it was being eaten by thousands of ants, and his face was as pale as a dead person. When he thought that he might be one of the people who killed Sheng Baiyi, he would rather die in her place and suffer the pain of suffocation by the water flooding the sky.
After hearing this, Situ Rui looked at Mu Yanchen again. After a moment of shock, he realized how tormenting this was for Mu Yanchen. No one could bear the thought of a woman he loved but could not get killed by someone else, perhaps because of him. Especially him...
Situ Rui had seen how Mu Yanchen waited behind Sheng Baiyi, so he naturally knew his friendship for that person.
He didn't know how to comfort Mu Yanchen, so he chose to remain silent. However, he didn't expect that the Shengjing Mu family actually hid such a big secret. No wonder every time they attended a banquet, the Mu family members needed help from others, and a special first aid room was set up for them. It seemed reasonable.
The secret conversation in the study did not last long as it was interrupted by the sound of rapid footsteps coming from outside.
Situ Rui walked out of the study immediately and saw a maid looking at him anxiously, "If you have something to say, just say it. It's not proper to be so impatient!"
The maid patted her chest, calmed down her breath, and said, "Butler Situ, there's a guest at the door. I saw that the guest looked ferocious and I was very scared... That's why I broke the rules."
Situ Rui frowned, and saw from the corner of his eye that Mu Yanchen, who was sitting by the window, stood up from the sofa, took a mink coat and put it on his shoulders, then walked towards him slowly.
"Let's go. I think it's time for him to come. His current appearance is probably something I can't even compare to."
Mu Yanchen walked in front, and Situ Rui followed respectfully behind, until they reached the downstairs and saw the man in a wheelchair being pushed to the door by Du Ren, then they stopped.
Mu Yanchen glanced sarcastically at Ji Zhengxuan's legs covered with a blanket, then cast his gaze on his bloodless and scarred face, and slowly uttered the words "you deserve it".
Du Ren, who was standing behind Ji Zhengxuan, could naturally hear it. He glared at Mu Yanchen angrily, "You can never say anything nice. It was like this before, and it's still like this now!"
The door was wide open, and a freezing wind whistled in from behind Du Ren and Ji Zhengxuan, filling the room with cold air. Seeing them shivering like a sieve and their faces gradually turning purple, Mu Yanchen felt pleased. He stood in front of them in a mink coat, looking at the suffering people as coldly as a god but without the slightest pity.
Du Ren glared at Mu Yanchen with fierce eyes, but Ji Zhengxuan remained calm. Even though his body was in such a dilapidated state, he remained silent.
After leaving the two of them alone for a while, Mu Yanchen spoke up, "Are you guys here to reminisce about the past?"
"You!" Du Ren had endured it long enough and almost wanted to rush over to teach Mu Yanchen a lesson, but Ji Zhengxuan stopped him with a wave of his hand.
"Let's go... cough cough..." Ji Zhengxuan coughed a few times, making his already pale face even paler.
Mu Yanchen didn't even look at him and walked ahead. Compared with Ji Zhengxuan, Mu Yanchen seemed like a normal person. Situ Rui walked over and raised his hand, "My boss has this personality. Please come in."
What Du Ren couldn't stand the most was Mu Yanchen's face. In the past, he always beat him without any chance to fight back. But now the situation has changed. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Ji Zhengxuan. Brother Xuan still depends on him for a way to survive, and he can't ruin his plans.
He unclenched his fists, unclenched them, and finally calmed down a little.
"Du Ren... cough... let's go..."
Hearing Ji Zhengxuan coughing, Du Ren's eyes felt sore and turned red.
Of course Mu Yanchen saw their interaction and said casually, "This is not a place for you to show your affection for your master and servant. If you have anything to say, please tell me. I won't keep anyone here."
Du Ren held back this time, but his arrogant eyes almost swallowed Mu Yanchen.
Mu Yanchen didn't even glance at him, but looked at Ji Zhengxuan, "Are you here to beg me now?"
The grudge between the two began in high school. Later, because Ji Zhengxuan revealed Mu Yanchen's improved health to Mu Guichao, Mu Guichao reached out to H City, which led to the separation of Mu Yanchen and Sheng Baiyi, and Mu Yanchen never appeared in Sheng Baiyi's life.
This incident also led to the fact that the first thing Mu Yanchen suppressed after his rise was Ji Zhengxuan's power in the eastern district of H City. Mu Guichao also showed signs of decline at the time, and simply abandoned Ji Zhengxuan in H City, just like Mu Yanchen at the time, leaving him to fend for himself.
It is conceivable that Ji Zhengxuan did not live a carefree life during this period. After all, the man from Shengjing abandoned him, and many people did not buy into Ji Zhengxuan's account and cancelled their cooperation. However, Ji Zhengxuan was also a capable man. Although he no longer had Mu Guichao as his backer, he could still be free. After the pressure exerted by Mu Yanchen passed, he could barely maintain the industry in the East District.
Life wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. Everyone lived in peace until Sheng Baiyi died.
Ji Zhengxuan raised his eyes and looked at Mu Yanchen seriously, and said seriously: "Yes, I can't think of anyone else except you."
Mu Yanchen sat in the upper seat, leisurely lifting the lid of the cup and fiddling with the tea leaves floating on the water. He glanced at him, "Did you know that Sheng Baiyi was dead?"
Ji Zhengxuan lowered his eyelids. He knew that if he wanted to come and ask Mu Yanchen for help, he couldn't get around this matter, so here he came.
He said slowly: "I know."
Then he asked sternly, "If you hadn't revealed her to Mu Guichao, do you think she would have suffered this?"
Ji Zhengxuan then raised his head, facing Mu Yanchen's overwhelming anger, "With the care you showed to Sheng Baiyi in the past, do you think he would know even if I didn't tell him? It's just a matter of time. Besides, Sheng Baiyi means a lot to your Mu family, he can't bear to kill her, but her death is indeed related to that information. If the medicine is successful, there is no need to keep Sheng Baiyi..."
The cup lid brushed past Ji Zhengxuan's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his face, which was shocking. The cup lid broke into several pieces on the ground, and everyone present was stunned.
