The next day, Xu Youning was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
I tossed and turned most of the night last night, and didn't fall asleep until three or four in the morning. I originally planned to cover my head and sleep until noon today to make up for the sleep I lost last night, but before nine o'clock, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly started ringing loudly.
She wanted to hang up the phone and turn it off, but she suddenly realized that this was Mu Sijue's exclusive ringtone, and hurriedly kicked off the quilt and answered the phone: "Seventh brother."
"Come to my house." After a pause, Musijue emphasized, "Old house."
"I haven't gotten up yet..." Xu Youning was really sleepy and couldn't help but yawned as he spoke, his voice sounding pitiful.
But Musijue was not at all soft-hearted: "One hour. If you can't make it, pack up and leave."
As soon as the last note fell, the call ended immediately, and most of the sleepiness in Xu Youning's body was scared away.
For an hour, she didn't even have a second to stay in bed!
Xu Youning slid out of bed resentfully, quickly changed his clothes and rushed out, washing up at the speed of light.
"Why are you always in such a hurry?" Grandma Xu stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at Xu Youning lovingly and helplessly, "Take your time, today auntie bought your favorite mushroom and lean pork rice noodles."
Because she was out all day long, Xu Youning hired an aunt to take care of her grandmother from morning to night.
"Grandma, I'm not at home to eat." Xu Youning hugged grandma, "Our boss has something urgent to do with me. I have to rush there right away. I'll eat breakfast on the way!"
With that said, Xu Youning picked up the rice rolls with one hand and the bag with the other, and rushed out the door.
The road was so congested that no matter how good the car was, it was like a turtle. Xu Youning moved the car forward while looking at the time, and he almost crushed the steering wheel in his anxiety.
The Mu family's old house is located in the old city center. It was a famous deep house compound in G City decades ago. It is said that its current market value is no less than that of a three-story villa.
Xu Youning was once envious, but now she feels that it is too troublesome. It would be great to live in a remote village like hers. The air is fresh and the roads are smooth. Wherever you want to go, you can just step on the accelerator and there are no brakes.
After entering the ancient buildings in the old city, the car could not continue driving due to road conditions, so Xu Youning got out of the car and walked.
She looked at the time and saw that there were still fifteen minutes left. It would take about ten minutes to get to the Mu family's old house from here. Xu Youning did not dare to relax at all, so he grabbed his bag and ran away.
When passing an artificial lake, her path was suddenly blocked by four burly men. Looking carefully, she saw that the leading man was the one she had shot in the head with a wine bottle yesterday.
Is this... revenge coming
"That's her!" The man pointed at her fiercely, "Catch her!"
"Wait a minute!" Xu Youning stopped several burly men who were about to pounce. "After you kidnap me, you must go find Mu Sijue's house, right? The house of Mu Sijue is not far ahead. Why not go to Mu Sijue's house?" Together again?"
She couldn't deal with so many strong men by herself, but with Mu Sijue around, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
"If we don't look for Mu Sijue, we will kidnap you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, three men rushed up, and Xu Youning cleverly turned around and ran away.
But how could she outrun a few men? Her hands and feet were quickly tied up.
"Do you know that kidnapping is illegal?" Xu Youning struggled a few times and tried in vain to negotiate terms with them. "Let me go, and I can pretend that nothing happened."
"Who said we were going to kidnap you?" The man motioned to his men, "Put her up!"
Xu Youning was placed on a special wooden board. She was stunned when three men suddenly lifted her up and pushed her into the lake.
She suddenly understood that the board would gradually sink and she would gradually submerge into the water. If no one came to save her, she would drown.
She thought of many cool ways to die, but being drowned was not only unexpected, but also not cool at all!
The man standing on the shore shrugged and reminded: "Don't move, otherwise the board will sink faster."
After saying that, he took pictures of something unknown with his cell phone, and finally walked away with his men.
The lake water in early spring was very cold, and Xu Youning's hair was already wet, but she did not dare to move, so she could only let the wind carry her to the center of the lake. She did not know if it was an illusion, but the board seemed to be sinking.
She cried out in despair: "Mu Sijue, save me!"
After calling out, Xu Youning couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Not to mention whether Mu Sijue could hear it from such a long distance, the point is, why did he call him Musijue
When she encountered danger in the past, the first person who came to her mind... was obviously Kang Ruicheng.
Because Kangrui City used to be a god-like existence to her.
That year, she had just graduated from college and was traveling to a very popular Southeast Asian country. She became playful and approached the Golden Triangle area alone. As a result, she was not only robbed of cash, but also kidnapped by a few filthy uncles.
She knew very well what the intentions of those men were, and she cleverly found a chance to escape, but she was discovered in less than five minutes, and those men pursued her.
Even though she had been trained to achieve amazing speeds now, she could not guarantee that she could run as fast now as she did then. Her survival instinct forced her to break through the limits of her body. When she was about to be overtaken, she bumped into Kang Ruicheng and blurted out in Mandarin: "Those people want to kidnap me! Can you call the police for me?!"
Kang Ruicheng looked at her, and she realized that maybe he didn't understand Mandarin. Just as she was about to repeat it in English, he suddenly asked: "Are you from G city?"
Familiar accent, fellow countrymen!
She nodded excitedly.
Kang Ruicheng protected her behind him and told her not to be afraid. She couldn't see clearly how he took action. Those big men who frightened her were knocked down by him in just three blows.
Finally, he turned back and brushed off the dust on her sleeves: "It's okay. This area is not safe. You, a girl, don't come here again."
"Thank you." In Xu Youning's eyes at that time, Kang Ruicheng was no different from a god. She mustered up her courage and said, "Can I follow you? I... am still a little scared."
Under Kang Ruicheng's arrangement, she moved into a villa and accidentally learned of Kang Ruicheng's identity - he turned out to be a man who could change everything in this area.
At that time, Kang Ruicheng was the most powerful person she had ever seen. Not only his skills, but also his methods impressed her. In front of him, others hardly dared to say no to him.
The last second, he coaxed her with a gentle voice, asking her to go to bed obediently. Then he turned around and said to his subordinates: "Don't embarrass him too much, just use one hand."
The secret feelings and inflated admiration suddenly emboldened her. She asked to stay and work for Kang Ruicheng, let Kang Ruicheng take her with him, and told him about her parents without reservation.
Kang Ruicheng thought about it for a long time and agreed to give her a chance to receive training. She spent two years sharpening herself into a sharp knife.
Later, she did a lot of things for Kang Ruicheng, but she didn't know that Kang Ruicheng even had a son, who was raising him in the United States. According to his people, the mother of the child was kidnapped and killed by Kang Ruicheng's enemies not long after the child was born. .
The child's mother is also from G City. Like her, she speaks Mandarin with a flat tongue and a reticent tongue. She pronounces "bed" and "boat" as "bed", which makes a lot of jokes.
Only then did she understand why Kang Ruicheng was willing to save her and help her two years ago, and even kept her by his side, because he could hear a familiar accent from her mouth.
After knowing all this, she was not discouraged and was still determined to help Kang Ruicheng do anything.
When she returned to G City this time, her mission was to get close to Mu Sijue, gain his trust, and help Kang Ruicheng steal business from him.
She remained silent for a long time after she came back, because she knew that going to Mu Sijue directly would definitely lead to suspicion. She inquired about the ancestral hot pot restaurant of the Mu family. From here, Mu Sijue would definitely not be suspicious, but she also found out that this The hot pot restaurant only uses acquaintances of the Mu family.
Su Jianan's appearance did her a big favor. With this relationship with Su Jianan, Mu Sijue would not only notice her, but also not doubt her. Moreover, she was from G City, which was a good innate condition. .
She got close to Mu Sijue and continued to provide information to Kang Ruicheng. In the end, she almost caused Lu Boyan and Su Jianan to divorce.
Xu Youning suddenly felt that it would be better if she drowned like this today. In this way, she would not have to face the disappointed expressions of Su Jianan and her grandmother, let alone Mu Sijue.
Yes, in comparison, she was more afraid that Mu Sijue would know the truth. She was afraid that Mu Sijue would be furious, she was also afraid that he would not react at all, and most of all, she was afraid that he would deal with her calmly.
She wasn't afraid of death, she just didn't want to know clearly that she had no weight in Mu Sijue's heart.
So it's better to just drown and escape everything.
At this time, the hour limited by Musijue had expired.
Mu Sijue has never been patient. Few people dare to let him wait. How dare Xu Youning be late
Just as he was about to redial Xu Youning's number, he received a video. He clicked on it and zoomed in. He suddenly saw Xu Youning lying on a wooden board with his hands and feet tied, and the wooden board was gradually floating towards the center of the lake.
With a "bang-", Mu Sijue knocked aside the stool, stood up and ran out. Aunt Zhou was startled by the movement he made and shouted at his back, "Where are you going?"
Mu Sijue did not answer, and his figure disappeared at the door of the mansion in the blink of an eye.
The artificial lake was not far from the old house. He saw Xu Youning from a distance. The wooden board supporting her had sunk more than half into the lake. Only the area above her chest was still on the lake.
Mu Sijue jumped into the lake and swam towards Xu Youning with all his strength regardless of how cold the lake was in early spring.
From the time Xu Youning got close to him to now, he didn't know how much confidential information he had stolen from him and given to Kang Ruicheng. He hadn't settled the accounts with her yet, so she couldn't die!
When Mu Sijue was taking a breath, he saw Xu Youning sinking into the lake.
His pupils suddenly dilated, and without enough time to ignore the feeling of his heart clenching into a ball, he swam towards Xu Youning holding his breath.
The moment she sank to the bottom of the lake, Xu Youning saw Mu Sijue and saw him struggling to swim over. She wanted to say something, but she choked on the water and her breathing became increasingly difficult.
She couldn't break free from the ropes on her hands and feet, so she could only sink lower and lower, and the feeling of suffocation gradually surrounded her.
The moment before she lost consciousness, Xu Youning didn't know whether it was a hallucination or reality. Mu Sijue seemed to have come to her side, and his facial features were right in front of her, but before she could see clearly, a darkness suddenly came over and drowned her... ( To be continued)
