Chapter 1423 Joy and Sorrow 3
As soon as little Mu Zirui heard this, he quickly got up. “Oh, okay, Mother! But what should I do if Brother is still sleeping?”“Your father will watch him. Hurry up!”
As Xi Xiaye went downstairs, she said to Mu Yuchen. “Xiaocheng is still asleep. Watch him for a little while.”
“Okay, go and come back soon,”
Mu Yuchen guessed it correctly. Su Chen and Zhou Zimo had just arrived together.
Ji Zitong went to the countryside with her mother for a few days, so it might be a while before they returned. Su Chen had been going to Zhou Zimo’s for several days already. After he found out that Ah Mo and Mu Lings.h.i.+ were leaving Z City that day, he initially planned to send them off, but on second thought, he did not want to go through the sorrow of saying goodbye, so he made a phone call and went over to check out the situation here instead.
The three brothers sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room while Zhou Zimo made tea.
“The police have tracked down where Glenn is and sent people to arrest him. He’s still in City Z. You don’t have to worry about Lings.h.i.+ and Ah Mo now,” Su Chen told Mu Yuchen the news he had just received.
“It’s been so long. Your police team is pretty efficient,” Mu Yuchen lowered his gaze and said calmly.
“Do you think police officers only work for their own family affairs? How many police units are there in the entire City Z? How many cases are there every day? Do you think you can even keep track of them? Besides, Brother, I work at the Traffic Management Bureau. We’re not in charge of investigating and tracking, so stop picking on us.” Su Chen gave him a dissatisfied look.
“I hope the police can bring him back this time. Only then will this matter finally be over. We were so relieved when Doris’s matter came to a closure. This woman was powerful, and we suffered a huge loss just because of what happened in New York. She was good at toying with men to get what she wanted, and she also had her own ways with people and connections.” Zhou Zimo still had lingering fears when he thought about that incident.
“How can you learn to be smarter if you haven’t suffered any loss?” Su Chen lectured Zhou Zimo in a low voice while reaching out to take a cup of tea from him and taking a sip.
“Who would’ve thought that they would fail such an easy task?” Zhou Zimo rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his brows and said.
“By the way, Mu Yuchen, since Ah Mo and Lings.h.i.+ have decided to leave with Gu Qiwu so suddenly, didn’t Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha respond at all? Isn’t that kind of abnormal? Shouldn’t they be freaking out already? It’s going to be the end of the year soon. Isn’t there a shareholders’ meeting at the Qi Kai Group?” Su Chen frowned and asked.
When Zhou Zimo heard that, he raised his brows and looked at Mu Yuchen with interest.
“The news probably hasn’t reached them yet. Gu Qiwu left in such a hurry and he also deliberately suppressed the news because he was worried that Glenn hadn’t been arrested yet. When Gu Qiwu’s a.s.sistant sent the doc.u.ments to Gu Lingsha, he did not see her.” Mu Yuchen obviously knew everything about Gu Qiwu’s plans.
“Gu Qiwu did it quite promptly and obviously, so the result was ideal. However, Gu Lingsha may not be satisfied. However, with the huge amount of compensation from Gu Qiwu, it could probably last her a few lifetimes, so she should be satisfied,” Su Chen said lightly.
“Don’t forget that Qi Feng is with Gu Lingsha. He’s the one we should be careful about. As you said before, Gu Qiwu has reservations about us, and it may be because of Gu Lingsha or Qi Feng. I’ve been thinking about it and something still feels wrong. Do you think that w.a.n.g Qin’s death was caused by Qi Feng?”
Deep down, Zhou Zimo became increasingly inclined to this answer.
“You’re on the same page as Mu Yuchen. This theory makes sense based on the information we have, but if Gu Qiwu knew the truth of this matter, why would he still be a scapegoat for Qi Feng? Mu Yuchen, I remember you saying that the reason Gu Qiwu got into trouble this time was entirely because of the information that Doris provided to the police station, and the information was said to be from Qi Feng. I don’t think Gu Qiwu would be the kind of person who repays grievances with virtue. Also, is there even evidence to prove it?”
“Yes, Mu Yuchen. If this is the case, I’m afraid Qi Lei…”
Mu Yuchen’s face suddenly stiffened after hearing this. After a while, he pressed his hand to the center of his forehead and said, “I don’t want to see it end like that either.”
“It would be extremely cruel to Qi Lei.” Zhou Zimo shrugged, yet he could not help but worry about Qi Lei.
“Hasn’t the killer been found yet?” Su Chen immediately asked as his face darkened.
“He got away, and some of the policemen there were injured,” Mu Yuchen’s eyes were dark when he responded calmly.
“I’d be surprised if professional a.s.sa.s.sins can be arrested so easily. Based on this, Gu Qiwu shouldn’t be excused either. Only you can tolerate that and not hold him accountable,” Zhou Zimo said with a cold gaze.
“Anyway, that’s a different matter, so let’s forget about that. You have to consider Lings.h.i.+’s feelings after all. Who would willingly make themselves uncomfortable?” Su Chen was a little depressed and his voice sounded helpless.
“Mu Yuchen, don’t you have anything to say?” Zhou Zimo turned his head to look at Mu Yuchen who was quietly drinking tea with a frown.
Mu Yuchen put the teacup aside and was about to say something, but right at that moment, there was a faint sound from upstairs, followed by a vague, innocent voice.
“Baba…Baba…Baba…”
Mu Yuchen’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately turned his head towards the voice. He discovered that Mu Xiaocheng had climbed to the top of the stairs and was standing unsteadily while holding onto the handrail at the side. He looked like he was going to fall down, but the little guy did not even know it as he kept smiling with his little arms and legs still bobbing up and down. Meanwhile, he grinned happily at Mu Yuchen who was downstairs.
Su Chen and Zhou Zimo looked at him and gawked, but no one dared to make a sound!
Mu Yuchen was frightened. He did not care about anything else. He immediately got up to rush upstairs and held Mu Xiaocheng tightly just when he was about to fall down the stairs.
“Little guy, are you trying to scare me to death?”
Mu Yuchen felt like he had never been so nervous and frightened. When he was holding his son’s delicate little body, he broke out into a cold sweat. Su Chen and Zhou Zimo finally felt at ease after seeing the child safe, and the fear in their eyes faded.
When he was in his father’s arms, Mu Xiaocheng was even happier. He did not know the danger he had just avoided. He held Mu Yuchen’s neck tightly while turning his head to look at Su Chen and Zhou Zimo with a smile.
“Xiaocheng, come give Uncle a hug!” Zhou Zimo reached his arms out to Mu Xiaocheng with a smile, but the boy suddenly shrank back into his father’s arms and stared at Zhou Zimo with his clear eyes for a while…
