Time is infinitely stretched at this moment, and all signs of life tend to stand still.

The sound of the heartbeat was amplified countless times, and it hit his eardrum dullly one after another, his brain became blank due to lack of oxygen, blood rushed back to his heart, his palms felt tingling, and his eye sockets gradually became dry.

Xiaonian shook his hand and shouted his name, Lin Mu blinked and woke up from the despair of dying.

"Boom!" The phone fell to the floor, short and dull.

Lin Mu lowered his head with a blank expression, stared at it for a while, then suddenly bent down, grabbed his phone, and walked out the door.

"Brother Lin Mu, where are you going?" Xiaonian looked anxious, stomping his feet and chasing after him.

Lin Mu didn't lose control, on the contrary, he was surprisingly calm.

It is his only thought at this moment to find Brother Shen before everything is irreversible.

When Xiaonian locked the door and chased out, the elevator had already gone down. If he waited for another elevator, he might not be able to catch up with Lin Mu. He hesitated for half a second, and decisively pushed open the door of the stairwell.

Ten floors, seven floors, five floors...

Xiao Nian's speed was getting slower and slower, but the elevator reached the bottom floor at this moment.

Lin Mu walked out of the elevator with his head down, and accidentally collided with someone outside. Reflexively, he took a half step back, said sorry, and then walked around the person and continued to walk outside.

"Is it over with an sorry?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and the moment he passed by, an arm wrapped around his waist and brought him into his arms. The familiar smell lingered in his nose, and Lin Mu's eyes turned red before he could be shocked.

He Yang frowned, tapped the end of his eyes with his index finger, and asked in a deep voice: "It was agreed to wait for me at home, why did you come downstairs?"

Lin Mu kept silent. He was afraid that he would be choked up when he opened his mouth. The moment he saw He Yang, all his calmness and rationality collapsed. The fear of losing contact engulfed his whole body belatedly, and he trembled uncontrollably. Clutching He Yang's sleeve, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

He Yang held his cold hand, lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Honey, you wrinkled my clothes, how can I go out to meet people later?"

"...Brother Shen, why didn't you answer the phone?" Lin Mu let go of his hand slowly, raised his head with aggrieved eyes, with half a teardrop hanging on his eyelashes, precarious.

He Yang wickedly kissed him on the lips, Lin Mu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and crystal tears fell down like overripe fruits, melting between their lips and teeth.

"I've been busy all morning, and my phone ran out of battery. I just found out on the way to pick you up." He Yang explained concisely, with a gentle tone: "You called me and no one answered, are you scared?"

"Brother Lin Mu—"

Xiaonian's shouting stopped abruptly, he bent down and leaned on his knees, panting heavily.After a while, seeing the movements of the two of them clearly, he turned around calmly and pointed his butt at them: "Go on."

The venue for the reception was set at the China World Hotel in the city center. The number of guests invited was not many, but they were all prominent figures in the industry. The invitations were in duplicate, and those invited could choose to bring a friend or partner.

Lin Mu has developed in the entertainment industry for many years, and there are many various banquets and award ceremonies, but he still couldn't help being surprised when he followed He Yang into the main hall.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here." Xiaonian couldn't help exclaiming, and praised with the language level of a primary school student: "It's like the prince's palace in a fairy tale!"

He Yang curled his lips into a chuckle, and let go of Lin Mu's hand: "Take him to look around first, I have to deal with it beforehand, come back before the official start."

"Okay." Lin Mu nodded, took Xiaonian's hand and watched He Yang leave.

The waiter in uniform passed by with a plate and bent down slightly: "Sir, what kind of wine do you want?"

Lin Mu's drinking capacity is very light, and just about to politely refuse, he saw Wu En appearing from the side, unceremoniously picking up a glass of champagne from the dinner plate, and mockingly in his eyes: "I dare not drink this kind of alcohol. You protect it very well."

"Why are you here? Your name isn't on the invitation." Lin Mu's voice turned cold, but his eyes didn't seem flustered.

Wu En lowered his head and sniffed the liquid in the glass, the bubbles surged and danced with his movements: "Don't ask such childish questions, Lin Mu, let's talk about something exciting, such as... Shen Zhuang."

The tone of his last two words was very light, but it made people feel a trace of fear for no reason.

Lin Mu's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him vigilantly. Wu En, who had lost his youthful disguise, completely exposed his true nature.

He is wearing a well-tailored and expensive suit, showing mature charm that does not match his age in his gestures, his sly eyes are cold, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, it can jump out to bite you anytime and anywhere.

"There's nothing to talk about between us." Lin Mu lowered his eyes, didn't make any counterattack, and took Xiaonian's hand and walked in the opposite direction.

Wu En took a sip of the liquid in the glass, stood motionless on the spot, stared at Lin Mu's back and sneered, "You don't really think that Shen Wang will forgive you without a bottom line, do you?"

Lin Mu remained unmoved and continued walking forward.

"How did everything he gave you now, you know in your heart." Wu En casually took a few steps forward, like a hunter throwing a bait, patiently waiting for Lin Mu to take the bait: "You are not Xia Wenke, One betrayal is enough to go from heaven to hell."

Lin Mu paused, turned around and looked calm: "You are right, but it is not complete. One identity from heaven to hell is enough."

"What do you mean?" Wu En's smile froze on his lips, his eyes were cold, and he raised his voice slightly, "Lin Mu, please speak clearly."

"Xiao Nian, I'll take you to get some snacks."

"it is good."

The figures of the two gradually disappeared into the crowd, Wu En turned his head with a gloomy expression, and met He Yang who was standing on the second floor watching the excitement.

"Sure enough, eggs can't be put in the same basket." He Yang snorted and shook his head.

【Looking at Wu En's distraught look, did he fail? 】

He Yang: I didn't expect him to be able to control the overall situation, but Lin Mu's reaction surprised me a little.

[In your arms is a teary-eyed cutie, and the claws in front of others are not as sharp as usual. 】

He Yang: Don't imitate me.

"I want to eat this chocolate cake." Xiaonian swallowed as he looked at the rows of snacks on the shelf, and looked at Lin Mu expectantly.

"Yes, but you can only choose three favorites, otherwise you will get tooth decay if you eat too much."

"I don't, I want them all." Xiaonian pouted and acted like a baby.

However, Lin Mu, who has always been soft-hearted and good-tempered, was unmoved this time. He held the dinner plate in his hand, sandwiched a piece of chocolate cake and handed it to Xiaonian, with a serious look on his face: "If you want it all, you have to take risks and pay for it." Consequences, I will not interfere with your choice."

Xiao Nian thought for a moment, took the plate and took a piece of each cake, with a very satisfied smile.

Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and laughed, how could he ask a child to do something that he couldn't do himself.

Since the risk and the reward are equal, he went crazy this time, lost everything and lost everything, and won... Brother Shen will only have him in his eyes for the rest of his life.

"What are you thinking about?" He Yang shook his hand in front of his eyes, reminding him, "It's about to start, you are the protagonist of today."

Lin Mu came back to his senses, looked past He Yang and happened to meet Wu En who was not far away. He held an empty goblet and smiled provocatively at Lin Mu.

"I'm not feeling well, I want to go to the bathroom." Lin Mu lowered his head, not daring to look directly into He Yang's eyes: "Brother Shen, can you accompany me for a while?"

He Yang turned his head slightly, glanced behind him, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay."

Wu En put the empty cup on the table, and when he raised his head, his eyes were a little drunk, he quickened his pace and stopped in front of the two of them, and put it on Lin Mu's shoulder like a boneless: "Where are you going? Could it be that you are afraid and want to escape?"

Lin Mu took a deep breath, and calmly called the waiter: "This guest is drunk before the reception, please help him sober up."

"Hey, don't touch me." Wu En stood up straight, with a smile on his face: "It's just a joke, why do you take it seriously?"

Lin Mu smiled lightly, and stood beside He Yang in a decent manner: "Mr. Wu, you can't joke around."

"Of course." Wu En cleared his throat, smiled and said, "So what I'm going to say next is the truth."

Lin Mu's eyes froze, his fingers embedded in his palm, and there was a clear tingling pain.

"Mr. Lin Mu—"

Wu En raised his voice in vain, attracting the audience's attention. Everyone slowly approached the center, feeling more and more oppressive: "He..."

"you shut up!"

A roar suddenly interrupted Wu En's words, and everyone started whispering to find the source of the sound.

Lin Mu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was the first to look at the door. When he saw someone coming, his tense back instantly relaxed.

It finally came, not too early or too late, before Wu En said everything.

The crowd automatically gave way to a passage, and the sound of crutches hitting the ground was unexpectedly familiar.

After seeing that person's face clearly, Wu En's eyes were filled with hatred, and he gritted his teeth and stared at the old housekeeper: "Are you worthy of telling me to shut up?"

He Yang raised his eyebrows, folded his arms and watched all this coldly, he could see everyone's expressions.

It turns out that this is Lin Mu's confidence in dealing with Wu En, which is interesting.

The old butler abided by etiquette, bowed his head to He Yang, and said respectfully: "The dog is not sensible, it will cause trouble for you and Mr. Lin, I will take him away."

【son? ? ? 】

He Yang: Nothing surprising, the housekeeper's surname is Wu, so his son's surname is also Wu.

[No, the point is what is the last name? 】

He Yang: I have never paid much attention to Wu En's identity. Now that I think about it, he can live in Linhuai Jingyuan, where every inch of land is expensive, and he knows the Shen family's affairs very well. More importantly... the relationship between him and Xia Wenke. A period of emotional entanglement, all kinds of details piled up, the truth has long been revealed.

[The target of the attack is so smart, he can think of these qaq in advance]

He Yang: No, he is not smart enough. It is effective to use the butler to silence Wu En, but who is standing behind the butler?What drove the butler to take this trip?

He carefully designed a trap, but I was not included in the calculation.
