Li Jiuheng was not angry when he saw that Mu Nuannuan didn't touch the tea cup at all. He crossed his legs and found a comfortable way to lean back, staring at Mu Nuannuan.
"Nuan Nuan, listen to me. It's useless for you to be nervous and worried now. Mu Tingxiao hasn't found this place yet, and the outcome between me and him has already been decided."
Li Jiuheng paused and narrowed his eyes slightly to see Mu Nuannuan's reaction.
Seeing that Mu Nuannuan still looked numb and expressionless, Li Jiuheng's expression finally changed.
His expression was slightly calm, and his tone became a bit colder: "I can give you another chance to make your own choice. What I said to you before is still valid. After all... "
"We are the best people to be together."
Mu Nuannuan replied directly and coldly: "No need to think about it, I don't think we are suitable."
The expression on Li Jiuheng's face froze for a moment. The next moment, he took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to straighten his cuffs, and said softly and gloomily: "Let her be quiet. I don't want to hear her talk anymore for the time being."
Before Mu Nuannuan could understand what he meant, she turned around and saw A Luo taking two steps towards her.
"you… "
The next second, Aluo hit her on the back of her neck with a knife. Her vision went dark, and she leaned forward and fell on the sofa.
The moment before she passed out, Mu Nuannuan thought in a daze that Li Jiuheng wanted her to be quiet. This was what Li Jiuheng meant by quiet.
…
Mu Nuannuan didn't know how long she had been unconscious.
When she woke up again, she was still in the basement.
She was lying flat on the sofa without a blanket or quilt covering her body. Even though the heating in the basement was turned on, she still felt a bit cold.
When she woke up, her vision was still a little blurry. She closed her eyes a few times before her vision became clear.
The first thing you see is the chandelier, and looking to the side is the sofa, and then there are Li Jiuheng and A Luo standing not far away.
A Luo was raising his head slightly and talking to Li Jiuheng. Li Jiuheng curled his lips and showed a smile.
The smile he showed made Mu Nuannuan shiver all over, and her heart sank so much that she suddenly woke up.
Li Jiuheng turned around and said something to A Luo. A Luo's expression became a little depressed, but he still nodded.
Afterwards, Li Jiuheng walked towards Mu Nuannuan.
Mu Nuannuan sat up from the sofa as soon as she turned over and looked at Li Jiuheng warily.
"Aluo's hand was a bit harsh. I have wronged you. You..." Li Jiuheng walked to sit next to her and reached out to touch Mu Nuannuan's face.
Mu Nuannuan tilted her head back and successfully avoided Li Jiuheng's extended hand.
Li Jiuheng glanced at his hand that was still raised in the air, was slightly startled, and then quickly softened his expression: "Just wake up, we can go."
Mu Nuannuan was not sure how long she had slept, nor what time it was. Judging from the situation in the basement, Mu Tingxiao had not found it.
A Luo also came over and stared at Mu Nuannuan with an unkind expression: "Are you going by yourself, or should I help you?"
Mu Nuannuan stood up without saying a word, indicating that she wanted to leave by herself.
Aluo snorted coldly and walked ahead to lead the way.
A Luo led them through the basement, and finally stopped in front of an iron door. She raised her hand slightly, and one of her men stepped forward to open the iron door.
The iron door was thick and it took two men working together to open it.
Aluo looked at Mu Nuannuan very closely. She was leading the way, so she would not let Mu Nuannuan fall behind.
So at this time, Mu Nuannuan was walking in front, and Li Jiuheng was walking behind her.
As soon as the iron door opened, Mu Nuannuan smelled something burning.
Although the sky was not bright at this time, there was already light, and after getting used to it, I could still see a little more clearly.
People are born with a keen sense of danger and bad things, and the uneasiness in Mu Nuannuan's subconscious has reached its peak.
She didn't even bother to turn around to question Li Jiuheng and started running out of the exit.
There is not a flat road outside the iron gate, but a flight of steps.
"Mu Nuannuan!"
A Luo called her name from behind, but Mu Nuannuan continued running forward as if she didn't hear her.
"Sir, I'm going to chase her back!" A Luo turned to Li Jiuheng and said, before going after Mu Nuannuan.
Li Jiuheng's voice was deep: "Come back."
Ah Luo turned back unwillingly and heard Li Jiuheng say: "She can't run away."
Mu Nuannuan ran all the way up to the exit. When she opened the outermost door and went out, she saw a blaze of fire.
The exit from the basement is in the small garden behind the villa.
Mu Nuannuan has lived in Li Jiuheng's villa for such a long time, so she naturally knows that his villa is large and luxurious.
However, at this time, most of the villa had been burned, and the flames were soaring into the sky. It had obviously been burning for several hours.
"Mumu!"
Mu Nuannuan's first reaction was to think of Mu Mu. She raised her feet and was about to run towards the villa.
However, as soon as she took the first step, someone grabbed her wrist.
She turned around and saw Li Jiuheng's livid face.
"You said you would let Mu Mu go!" Mu Nuannuan pointed at the flaming villa with her other free hand, her voice trembling: "Is this what you meant by letting go? Li Jiuheng, I have never thought about you. You have lost your conscience to such an extent, if Mu Mu makes any mistake, I will not let you go!"
Regarding Mu Nuannuan's accusation, Li Jiuheng just changed his expression slightly: "If I let Mu Mu go, will Mu Tingxiao let me go?"
"One more thing you said was wrong. If Mu Mu dies inside, you can't blame me. If you want to blame, blame Mu Tingxiao. He was the one who didn't have the ability to protect you. He killed your daughter. It's all his fault! "
Mu Nuannuan bit her lip, trembling with anger, and raised her hand to slap Li Jiuheng in the face.
She hit her too suddenly, and Li Jiuheng was unprepared for a moment and slapped her hard.
With this slap, Mu Nuannuan used all her strength, hating and angry. As soon as the slap came down, half of Li Jiuheng's face immediately turned red.
"Don't make excuses for the evil you have done. Mu Tingxiao is wrong because he is not as conscientious as you!" Mu Nuannuan said bitterly and wanted to throw away his hand.
But Li Jiuheng's grip was too tight, and Mu Nuannuan couldn't shake him off even though she used a lot of strength.
Li Jiuheng's face was already very ugly after being slapped by Mu Nuannuan, but when he heard what she said, his face became even more ugly.
He slammed his hand away, and Mu Nuannuan lost her center of gravity and fell to the ground.
The ground was covered with pebbles, and Mu Nuannuan's arms were scratched.
However, Li Jiuheng didn't take this into account. He stood in front of Mu Nuannuan and looked at her condescendingly: "Nuannuan, don't force me."
