After the two of them had finished talking, the clock hand on the wall had moved around another half a circle, and it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Xue Ci suddenly asked Xue Xue if he wanted to have supper together.
Xue Xue shook his head.
"I'm not hungry."
Xue Ci expressed understanding.
"Then you go to bed earlier." He replied half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's half time for beauty sleep now."
Hearing this, Xue Xue raised the corners of his lips to save face.
Xue Ci stood behind the desk and watched her leave.
When he put his hand on the handle, Xue Xue did not push the door open immediately, but stopped.
Even just looking at her back, you can feel that little hesitation.
For this reason, Xue Ci was puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xue Xue didn't answer, he was a little worried about the other party's state.
"Or..."
"elder brother."
Xue Xue suddenly shouted.
Xue Ci was stunned for a moment, the left leg that was about to take a step stagnated in the air at a strange angle, showing a very comical gesture.
However, Xue Ci couldn't control that much anymore.
Because of Xue Xue's next sentence.
"Although work is very important, you still need to take care of your body." Her voice was vague, but it fell into Xue Ci's ears, but it was like the sound of nature. "Good night."
Xue Xue, who returned to the room, was not at all sleepy.
Xue Ci did not provide any in-depth clues, but at least it confirmed Xue Xue's guess.
Mu Rong was ready to clean up Mu Yidian and Mu Hui.
This incident naturally happened in the previous life, but it was pushed forward a lot compared to the time in this life.
Xue Xue was surprised but not surprised.
After all, her arrival is like the butterfly flapping its wings in the butterfly effect. Once a small change in initial conditions occurs, the subsequent chain reaction will be long-term and huge.
Even Xue Ci knew that the current situation in the Mu family was chaotic. It was conceivable that if it wasn't for Mu Rong's actions, it would be Mu Yidian and Mu Hui's actions.
Xue Xue lay on her back on the big soft bed and closed her eyes.
Then, it suddenly opened again.
wrong.
She ignored a possibility.
Chaos is not necessarily created unilaterally.
"Mr. Mu found out that there is a ghost beside him." Gao Shan said.
"I heard that the inner ghost is Zhu Feng." Xue Ci told Xue Xue what he knew. "The trusted subordinates around Mu Rong are all orphans without father and mother, so Mu Rong gave him the surname Zhu."
"Zhu?"
"Well, I heard that it follows the surname of Mu Rong's savior."
Savior... Xue Xue suddenly thought of the old man Mu Rong said.
Not noticing Xue Xue's daze, Xue Ci continued: "Among them, the ones that Mu Rong values most are probably Zhu Xu, Zhu Feng, and Zhu Jue."
"Zhu Xu was in the Ming Dynasty, guarding himself as an assistant and bodyguard, and handling all kinds of trivial matters on the table for Mu Rong. Zhu Feng was in the dark, responsible for the invisible transactions and actions under the table. Finally, Zhu Jue, about the Zhu Jue has the least information, no one has seen it, it seems that he is specially connecting with foreign countries, and he usually does not stay in Huaicheng."
Xue Xue listened carefully.
Zhu Xu had met many times, but Zhu Feng and Zhu Jue had never met.
But she felt that Xue Ci's news should be correct.
After all, he was also a child of an aristocratic family who grew up in Huaibei. The process of Mu Rong winning power from Mu Yidian was a vigorous process, and it was impossible to keep it secret until nothing was leaked.
However... Xue Xue quickly thought of something unreasonable.
There's no reason Xue Ci knew, and Gao Shan had to hide himself.
So Xue Xue suspected that Zhu Feng was just a smoke bomb.
The real inner ghost is not Zhu Feng.
Rather...
"Mu Ziyang." Xue Xue murmured the unfamiliar name.
The woman who stayed by Mu Rong's side in her last life and became the antidote for her was Yili.
But what Xue Xue couldn't figure out was that Yi Li at this time was Mu Ziyang's girlfriend, and according to Zhu Xu's description, the two had a very good relationship, and they had even been recognized by Mu Rong. In this way, the result of the previous life was unbelievable. After all, with Xue Xue's understanding, it was impossible for Mu Rong to covet his nephew's woman.
unless…
Mu Ziyang betrayed Mu Rong.
Then, Yili betrayed Mu Ziyang at the same time, and handed over the information of the person beside him to Mu Rong, in exchange for the opportunity to accompany him.
So it's all tied together.
The problems that had plagued Xue Xue all day were solved, but she did not feel relieved, because behind the answer to one question, another question was often hidden.
And life is a process of constant problem solving.
Thinking, Xue Xue sat up from the bed.
She unplugged the charging cable and picked up her phone.
Unexpectedly, there were several missed calls on it.
It's Mu Rong.
Xue Xue's mood is very complicated now.
Should Mu Rong go to bed at two in the middle of the night? Despite this thought, she pressed the callback button.
beep... beep... beep...
After more than ten rings, just as Xue Xue was about to hang up the phone, the man's voice penetrated into his eardrums.
With laziness, hoarseness, full of sexy.
Xue Xue felt her fingers numb, and she almost couldn't hold the phone.
"Xue Xue?"
After a few seconds, Xue Xue responded softly.
The opposite Mu Rong was also silent for a while.
"You know it all."
