Shi Ye came out of the room, walked behind Mu Tingxiao, followed Mu Tingxiao's line of sight and glanced over there, and then called him in a low voice: "Master."
"Is there any cigarette?" Mu Tingxiao looked away and looked back at him.
Although Tokoyami doesn't smoke much, he always carries a cigarette with him.
He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked half of a cigarette from it, and handed it to Mu Tingxiao.
Mu Tingxiao took out the cigarette, put it to his lips and held it in his mouth. Shiye took out a lighter and pretended to light a cigarette for him.
Mu Tingxiao frowned slightly and reached out to take the lighter: "I'll do it myself."
With a "pop" sound, the lighter was ignited and a cluster of flames ignited.
Mu Tingxiao lit the cigarette himself and returned the lighter to Shiye.
Shi Ye took the lighter and stood behind Mu Tingxiao, without leaving or speaking again.
Since moving to the villa next to Li Jiuheng, Mu Tingxiao, apart from dealing with things, basically stood here in his free time, not knowing what he was thinking.
Shiye could feel that Mu Tingxiao was thinking about Mu Nuannuan.
But he felt that what Mu Tingxiao was thinking was not all about Mu Nuannuan, but he couldn't figure out what else he was thinking about.
"When do you think Li Jiuheng will take action?"
Mu Tingxiao asked Shiye out of the blue. Shiye was startled for a moment, then thought about it carefully before saying uncertainly: "It should be the nearest time?"
Mu Tingxiao took a deep breath from the cigarette, then took it off and held it between his fingers. He flicked the ashes off with his long fingers and said in a loose voice, "What day was it recently?"
"What do you mean, Master?" Shiye could still understand Mu Tingxiao's thoughts on this matter.
Mu Tingxiao would ask him this, and he must have had his own thoughts in mind.
After Shi Ye finished speaking, he bowed slightly and waited for Mu Tingxiao's answer, but Mu Tingxiao fell silent.
It wasn't until Mu Tingxiao finished smoking the cigarette that he said, "He will take action tomorrow at the latest."
He had just smoked a cigarette, and his voice was hoarse, making him appear deeper.
Shi Ye's mind was quick and his mind was running rapidly. He immediately understood what Mu Tingxiao meant: "Young master, what you are saying is that Li Jiuheng will take action as early as tonight?"
"Then Madam, isn't it..." Shiye didn't say the next words after seeing Mu Tingxiao's gloomy expression.
If Li Jiuheng takes action tonight, Mu Nuannuan's situation will become unsafe.
Mu Tingxiao did not refute Shi Ye, which meant that Shi Ye guessed correctly.
Mu Tingxiao tightened his fingers, took the cigarette butt he had just finished smoking into his palm and crushed it, and then began to issue orders aloud.
"Sent people overnight to check on a woman named Wanwan who is seriously ill and has been living on a ventilator. She may be related to Li Jiuheng."
Tokoye was stunned for a moment: "Yes."
"And..." Mu Tingxiao paused, but Shiye already knew what Mu Tingxiao was going to say.
Shi Ye said consciously: "I will send people to pay attention to Li Jiuheng's movements at any time."
Mu Tingxiao said no more.
In recent days, Mu Tingxiao's words have become extremely rare.
In the past, Mu Tingxiao didn't actually speak much, but now he wouldn't get an answer for eight out of ten sentences. He had to guess the meaning of Mu Tingxiao's words.
Fortunately, Shiye can guess the answers to the questions that Mu Tingxiao is currently ignoring.
Shiye received Mu Tingxiao's order, turned around, left the room and started to execute it.
…
When Mu Nuannuan slept until midnight, she felt a noise outside the room.
After she came to Li Jiuheng's place, she slept very lightly and was easily awakened. Especially at night, it is easy to wake up if there is some movement.
A bedside lamp was turned on beside the bed. Mu Nuannuan opened her eyes and was in a daze for a moment before her vision returned to clarity.
She tilted her ears slightly and listened intently to what was going on outside, but found that she couldn't hear anything.
Did she just have a hallucination
It's not impossible.
How about going out and taking a look
With this thought in her mind, Mu Nuannuan got out of bed lightly.
Mu Mu was still sleeping deeply, Mu Nuannuan leaned over to gather the quilt for Mu Mu, and then tucked the corners of the quilt. Then he turned to put on his coat.
She was about to put on her coat, but paused slightly.
What if there is someone outside
Mu Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, took off her coat, and put on all her clothes carefully.
I walked to the door and put on my shoes. After finishing getting dressed, I reached out and turned the door handle.
With a "squeak" sound, the door was slowly opened.
Mu Nuannuan looked through the crack in the door and found that there was no one outside.
She felt relieved and opened the door a little wider.
However, when she opened the door wider, she saw the person standing one meter away from the door was Li Jiuheng!
Li Jiuheng was wearing a solemn black coat and stood there with an expressionless face. His whole body exuded an aura of indifference, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Behind him stood A Luo, followed by several bodyguards.
Li Jiuheng curled his lips, looking calm and gloomy, and his voice was still gentle: "It seems that I even skipped the step of knocking on the door."
The voice was gentle, but there was a hint of bone-chilling coldness in the gentleness.
Mu Nuannuan probably understood in her heart that Li Jiuheng finally couldn't help but take action.
If it weren't for Mu Tingxiao's stimulation, he might still be sitting there as steady as a mountain, taking the advantage without taking the initiative.
However, Mu Tingxiao's series of behaviors in the past two days made Li Jiuheng less calm.
When he was irritated, he was no longer so confident. After he couldn't control his emotions, he couldn't help but take action.
Mu Nuannuan held the door with one hand and clenched it involuntarily with the other hand.
After living in Li Jiuheng's villa for so long, Mu Nuannuan suddenly felt like "what should come has finally come" at this moment.
She was so calm that she even surprised herself.
"Is there something important that requires you to come to me in person at night?" Mu Nuannuan looked at Li Jiuheng with a calm face, without any surprise or fear in her tone.
Li Jiuheng's eyes changed slightly: "You don't even know what I'm going to do, but you're not afraid?"
"When I colluded with you and let you take me hostage, I knew this day would come."
After all, she had just woken up in the middle of the night, and Mu Nuannuan's hair was still a little messy. She reached out and hooked the hair hanging on her face behind her ears, and discussed the terms with Li Jiuheng in a serious tone: "If I go with you, you can let Mu go." Mu? She is just a child."
Li Jiuheng smiled: "Of course I am willing to let her go."
The more he behaves like this, the less Mu Nuannuan believes in him.
Mu Nuannuan pursed her lips and said, "I want to go back to the room to get a scarf, is that okay?"
