le sound of flowing water, along with the rustling of footsteps, reached my ears. "Click>>> 。With a creak, the door to the bathroom nearby swung open. 。Fu Mo'han walked out of the restroom and saw Li...However, this was something he had promised.

Regret only leaves behind embarrassing secrets.

Furthermore, he could not possibly place Lin Jinyan in a villa under the Mu family's name.

No matter what Night Owl's purpose was, since he had agreed, he couldn't possibly stop it.

However, just in case, he still had some things to do, and he needed to get Night Owl out of there as soon as possible.

Mu Shaocheng looked up at Ye Xiao, a calm smile on his face. “Ye Shao, do you have anything else to say If not, I still have several meetings to attend. Ye Xiao wouldn’t mind waiting for me a few hours, would he”

The night owl lowered his gaze and glanced at the files on the table, then curled his thin lips and said, "It seems Shao Mu is very busy. Then I won't disturb you."

He gracefully turned and strode toward the door with his long legs.

As Ye Xiao was about to leave the office, his tall figure paused. He tilted his head slightly and reminded, "Mu Shao, don't just focus on developing Nanjiang business. You should also share some of the workload at headquarters for your father."

After saying that, he left with his entourage.

In the office, Mu Shaocheng's handsome face gradually became unpleasant.

A bodyguard rushed in through the door and tentatively asked, "Young Master Mu, are we really letting him search freely"

"Search, do not obstruct." Mu Shaocheng clenched the armrest, his face ashen.

"Yes." The bodyguard took the order and left the office.

Mu Shaochen pondered for a moment, picked up his phone, and with his slender fingers, dialed the number.

A few seconds later, the phone was answered. He asked with concern, "Uncle Zhang, how is my father doing recently"

"Young Master Mu, the old man has fallen ill with chest tightness again," a voice, aged and frail, crackled through the receiver, reporting on Mr. Mu's condition.

Upon hearing this, Mu Shaocheng's face darkened. "Why didn't you tell me!"

"The old man said that this little thing, he didn't want me to tell you, so as not to worry you."

Mu Shaochen's face was tense, "How is he now"

"The doctor said I need to rest, and if I want to recover completely, I have to let go of everything, otherwise, the illness can't be cured."

The old man on the phone sighed and then advised, "Young master, listen to my words. I'm getting older, this chest tightness is becoming more frequent. You'll eventually have to take over the group, you can't just keep acting recklessly."

"I know you're taking good care of grandpa. Contact me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes."

"I'll hang up now."

Ending the phone call, Mu Shaocheng raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling incredibly troubled inside.

He always treated Lin Jinran with feelings that stemmed from emotion but were restrained by propriety.

I truly hope she can see how good he is to her and that they can be together.

Looking back, it all seems utterly ridiculous.

Everything he did was still unable to win her heart.

Could it really be that, as that person said, Lin Jinran would be forced to become his woman, whether she resented him or not, and he would forcefully claim her, making her bear a child to bind her completely

I don't want to see the hatred she has for him, but facing the reality of losing Lin Jinran.

Mu Shaochen's black eyes grew darker, and his long fingers gradually clenched into a fist.

On the other side, the people sent by Ye Xiao carried out a meticulous search of Mu's villa in Nanjiang as soon as they got the information.

Leaving the Mu Corporation, Ye Xiao, stood tall and straight in his black, sleek Maybach.

His cold and stern face was terrifyingly pale, his icy gaze fixed on the bodyguard who had just reported an important piece of news. "Was the person caught"

"Yes, it's under control."

"Drive there." he ordered.d with his thin lips, "You sleep first, I'll tell him" 。""Uh" 。Watching the man leave the bedroom, Lin Jinran hesitated for a moment, took out her phone and edited a text message, sending it to Ji Y...
