Mu Tingxiao's purpose was to push Mu to the edge of the abyss until Mu Liyan could no longer hold on and let Mr. Mu return home.
Mr. Mu hurriedly went abroad to retire, and it has been eleven years now.
Eleven years ago, Mr. Mu had basically never returned to the country.
Even if the family wanted to reunite, it was Mu Liyan who took the family abroad to find Mr. Mu, but Mu Nuannuan was not taken abroad by him.
Mu Nuannuan also suspected that Si Chengyu's incident might be related to Mu Tingxiao.
After all, it was impossible for Shengding to really let Si Chengyu take over Mu's endorsement, and Gu Zhiyan had a close relationship with Mu Tingxiao.
But if it was related to Mu Tingxiao, then why did he deliberately force Mr. Mu to return to the country
Mu Nuannuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Liang: "If the engagement between Mu Wanqi and Mu Tingxiao is related to the kidnapping case, can we assume that the reason why Mu Tingxiao always wanted to force my grandfather to return to China? , because my grandfather was also involved in the kidnapping case that year!"
Shen Liang shook his head: "But if your grandfather was related to the kidnapping case of Mu Tingxiao and his mother, why did the Mu family let him go abroad for retirement and let the two families get married?"
Mu Nuannuan felt that Shen Liang's words made sense.
This series of things done by the Mu family gives people the feeling that they are trying to please the Mu family...
An idea flashed in Mu Nuannuan's mind, and she frowned and said: "My grandfather is in good health, and there is no need for him to go abroad for retirement more than ten years ago. There must be some reason that forced him to go abroad, and Mu Wanqi and Mu Tingxiao's engagement comes at a strange time, these two things come together..."
After a pause, Mu Nuannuan continued: "I don't believe there is such a coincidence in the world. I suspect that my grandfather must have known the Mu family's ulterior secrets and used it to reach a marriage agreement with the Mu family. But The Mu family was cautious and told my grandfather to go abroad and not allow him to come back."
After she finished speaking, she saw Shen Liang looking at her in confusion.
Mu Nuannuan also felt that her imagination was too broad: "Do you think my guess was wrong?"
Shen Liang shook his head: "No, I think what you said makes too much sense. Moreover, my father had some contact with that case back then. Your grandfather was indeed somewhat related to that case, but it had no impact on the case... "
…
night.
Mu Nuannuan turned on the faucet while holding her cell phone to read online Weibo discussions about Si Chengyu's threats.
"Sister Nuannuan!"
Mu Jiachen's voice came from outside.
His voice came from far away: "Sister Nuannuan, are you cooking!"
Mu Nuannuan put down her phone and looked outside the kitchen, just in time to see Mu Jiachen running over.
As soon as Mu Jiachen ran in, he was about to lift the lid of the pot: "What are you cooking? It smells so good!"
"Braised pork." Mu Nuannuan patted his hand: "It's not ready yet, go out and wait."
"Okay." Mu Jiachen retracted his hand with a smile and ran out quickly.
During the meal, Mu Tingxiao did not come back.
Mu Nuannuan looked at where Mu Tingxiao usually sat, slightly lost in thought.
Mu Jiachen picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil after eating, and he said vaguely: "If you miss my cousin, just call him."
"Who missed him?" Mu Nuannuan gave him another piece of meat: "Eat yours."
"Oh." Mu Jiachen clearly didn't believe her.
After the two of them finished eating, Mu Tingxiao still didn't come back.
Mu Nuannuan went back to her room and took a shower. She sat on the bed and looked at the empty room. She always felt that something was wrong.
Is it because Mu Tingxiao is not here
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, her phone vibrated on the bedside table.
Mu Nuannuan took it over and saw that it was a call from Mu Tingxiao.
She hesitated for three seconds before reaching out and picking it up.
"Hello?"
The voice that rang on the other end of the phone was not Mu Tingxiao's: "Nuan Nuan, this is Gu Zhiyan. Something happened to Tingxiao. Come to Jinding now. I've asked Shi Ye to pick you up."
Gu Ge Dayan's tone was particularly urgent, which made Mu Nuannuan feel uneasy in her heart.
She remembered the gunshot wound on Tingxiao's body last time...
Feeling a little panicked, she changed her clothes and ran upstairs quickly.
Shi Ye happened to have arrived, and when he saw Mu Nuannuan coming down in a hurry, his eyes flashed slightly: "Young Madam, I'll take you to Jinding."
…
Tokoye drove the car very fast and arrived at Jinding in a short time.
When they got out of the car, Mu Nuannuan remembered to ask him, "What happened to Mu Tingxiao?"
"Young Madam, just go and take a look." Shiye lowered his head, looking extremely respectful.
Mu Nuannuan was suspicious, and Shiye didn't look too nervous.
As soon as she entered the golden cauldron, she saw Gu Zhiyan.
As soon as Gu Zhiyan saw her, he walked up directly: "Nuan Nuan, you are here."
"Where is Mu Tingxiao?" Mu Nuannuan asked him.
Gu Zhiyan coughed lightly: "I will take you to find her."
The two of them entered the elevator, and Gu Zhiyan was still explaining to her: "Something happened to Ting Xiao. He is not close to anyone else. I don't know who to look for except you."
"Oh." She said it as if she and Mu Tingxiao were very close.
Arriving at the door of the room, Gu Zhiyan opened the door: "Ting Xiao is inside, please go in."
The room was dark, with no lights on.
Mu Nuannuan felt something was wrong: "What happened to Mu Tingxiao?"
Gu Zhiyan sighed: "You will know when you go in and take a look."
Mu Nuannuan looked at Gu Zhiyan for a few seconds, then walked in.
As soon as she stepped in, the door was closed with a bang.
Mu Nuannuan reached out and pressed the light switch, glanced at the door, called Mu Tingxiao's name, and continued walking inside.
"Mu Tingxiao?"
She called several times but got no response.
Mu Tingxiao lived in a suite. He was not seen in the hall, so Mu Nuannuan walked towards the bedroom.
Mu Nuannuan turned on the bedroom light and found that Mu Tingxiao was not in the bedroom. Just when she was about to go out, she heard the sound of gurgling water coming from the bathroom.
She walked to the bathroom door and knocked on the door: "Mu Tingxiao? Are you in there?"
There was no light on in the bathroom, and Mu Nuannuan didn't hear anyone responding inside, so she couldn't be sure if there was anyone inside.
Just when she was about to turn around and go out, a suppressed and gloomy voice came from the bathroom: "Get out!"
It's Mu Tingxiao's voice!
His voice didn't sound right.
"Mu Tingxiao, what's wrong with you?" Mu Nuannuan patted the door: "I'm Mu Nuannuan."
The next moment, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.
Mu Tingxiao appeared in her sight with a pale face. He was dripping with water and was only wrapped in a bath towel. Mu Nuannuan stood one step away from him and felt the coolness emanating from his body.
Mu Nuannuan reached out and touched his arm and found that it was frighteningly cold!
Mu Tingxiao quickly opened her hand: "Who asked you to come? Go back!"
