A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 958 Mu Sijue, You Will Kill Me (2)

Outwardly, there was nothing wrong with Mu Sijue exposing Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering to the police.

Mu Sijue hated Kang Ruicheng. No matter how he took revenge on Kang Ruicheng, it was his choice.

Unfortunately, he and Xu Youning chose to expose Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering at the same time.

Xu Youning smiled bitterly in her heart. “Is this a tacit understanding between me and Mu Sijue?”

Anyway, she had been carefully investigating Kang Ruicheng’s crime for so many days, but still could not find sufficient evidence to prove it.

Based on this point, she was sure that Mu Sijue’s evidence was less incriminating than hers.

Mu Sijue exposed Kang Ruicheng in such a hurry, which could at most put Kang Ruicheng in the police station for 24 hours.

If the police could not find any solid evidence within 24 hours, they could only let Kang Ruicheng go. Then, everything would be meaningless.

This was not the worst thing.

Worst of all, Kang Ruicheng would definitely cover his tracks well after leaving the police station. It would be even more difficult for Xu Youning to find evidence that he committed the crime of money laundering.

Moreover, Kang Ruicheng had a suspicious nature, and he would definitely suspect that someone had leaked the evidence of his money laundering.

If Kang Ruicheng carried out a thorough investigation, Xu Youning could not guarantee that she could escape.

At that time, she would be exposed, and the child in her belly would be in danger.

Mu Sijue’s rashness would kill her and their child.

Dongzi found that Xu Youning had a strange expression on her face. He looked back at her and asked, “Miss Xu, are you okay?”

Xu Youning’s hand trembled slightly. She wanted to say something, but her voice was stuck in her throat.

Dongzi was even more confused. “Miss Xu?”

Xu Youning gritted her teeth and finally said, “Someone exposed Brother Cheng’s money laundering activities. The police are on the way to the hotel. Hurry and call Brother Cheng!”

Dongzi’s face immediately changed, and he hurriedly took out his mobile phone. Almost at the same time, Xu Youning’s mobile phone rang.

Xu Youning looked at the phone screen; the call was from Kang Ruicheng.

She pushed open the door and got out of the car. While walking to the hotel, she told Kang Ruicheng about it. In the end, she said, “Be careful. I’ll go and look for you now.”

“…”

Kang Ruicheng remained silent for a long time.

Xu Youning thought that Kang Ruicheng was hesitating, so she continued, “Wait for me in the banquet hall. I’ll be there soon. The police should be still on the way. Let’s discuss the countermeasures.”

“Ha-” Kang Ruicheng’s sneering tone suddenly came from the phone. “It turns out that Mu Sijue really came prepared.”

Xu Youning did not quite understand what Kang Ruicheng meant. She frowned in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”

“Where are you?” Kang Ruicheng finally asked.

Xu Youning looked up at the entrance to the banquet hall. “I’m at the entrance.”

Before Kang Ruicheng said anything, Xu Youning had already pushed the door open and walked in. She picked up the hem of her dress and quickened her pace while asking, “Where are you?”

Kang Ruicheng said, “I’m with Mu Sijue in the northwest corner of the banquet hall.”

Probably by instinct, Xu Youning looked toward the northwest and Mu Sijue was the first person she saw.

After careful calculation, she found that she and Mu Sijue had not seen each other for only a few days.

However, at this moment, she had a vague feeling that she had been separated from Mu Sijue for such a long time that she felt strange when she saw Mu Sijue in front of her.

Mu Sijue liked casual and comfortable clothes for ease of fighting. The suit was too formal, and he never liked it. Even, he had teased Lu Boyan for this reason.

However, at this moment, he was wearing the clothes he did not like, holding a glass of red wine, putting on a front that was not him at all and standing in the dim light. It did not decrease his deterrent force.

Yes, it was the deterrent force.

Mu Sijue was not as dazzling as Lu Boyan, nor as gentle as Su Yicheng who made people feel comfortable around him.

He had this deterring force that was dark and mysterious and it carried considerable weight. It was as if he came from the deepest part of hell and made others fearful of him.

The words “decisive, cold-blooded, cruel, tough and strong” described Mu Sijue perfectly.

Because of Mu Sijue’s menacing appearance on such an occasion, most people would first notice Lu Boyan standing next to him.

Xu Youning was quite disappointed. She saw Mu Sijue as soon as she came in. If she hadn’t realized in time that Kang Ruicheng was also there, she almost could not look away from Mu Sijue.

“A Ning.” When Kang Ruicheng saw Xu Youning, he ordered forcefully, as if to declare his sovereignty over her, “Come here.”

Xu Youning walked straight to Kang Ruicheng and did not spare Mu Sijue a look at all. Finally, she stopped in front of Kang Ruicheng and asked, “What’s going on?”

Kang Ruicheng took a deep breath and said, “No time to explain. When I’m not at home, my business will be left to you and Dongzi. Also, help me take care of Mumu.”

Xu Youning nodded and said in an unquestionably sincere tone, “Okay, I will.”

She tried her best to ignore Mu Sijue, but Mu Sijue’s gaze was fixed on her like a flame as if trying to sear her. She felt strange, but she could only hide it.

At this time, Dongzi also came with others and asked Kang Ruicheng, “Brother Cheng, what should we do?”

“Don’t panic. Nothing serious will happen.” Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mu Sijue from a distance and said calmly, “I may be detained for a day. Dongzi, you and A Ning are responsible for the business negotiation tomorrow. Remember, take enough people with you.”

Dongzi knew that there was a different meaning in Kang Ruicheng’s last sentence. He nodded and said, “Brother Cheng, don’t worry. I will try my best.”

“A Ning, are there any problems?” Kang Ruicheng asked.

Xu Youning shook her head and said, “No, don’t worry. I will cooperate with Dongzi, just leave everything to us.”

Kang Ruicheng had a satisfied smile on his face and stroked Xu Youning’s face. “Good. Wait for my return. Remember, no matter what happens, don’t panic.”

Xu Youning hid her inner resistance well and compressed her lips. “OK.”

Kang Ruicheng looked at Mu Sijue again. This time, his eyes were full of provocation.

Yes, he did it on purpose. He deliberately showed Mu Sijue how close he and Xu Youning were.

No matter what had happened between Xu Youning and Mu Sijue, it had only been an act on Xu Youning’s part.

Xu Youning did not sincerely love Mu Sijue.

Kang Ruicheng wanted Mu Sijue to see how Xu Youning treated a person sincerely.

As Kang Ruicheng wished, Mu Sijue saw it.

When Mu Sijue found Xu Youning, she was walking toward Kang Ruicheng without even a sideway glance at him.

He was also standing there, but Xu Youning did not see him. Or maybe she just ignored him.

“Xu Youning, you’re really good!”

Mu Sijue looked away and gripped the wine glass more and more tightly.

Lu Boyan coughed softly and said in a voice that only he and Mu Sijue could hear, “This is not the time for you to show your strength.”

If Mu Sijue continued to grip the wine glass, it would be crushed.

“Brother Sijue.” Yang Shanshan pulled Mu Sijue’s sleeve. “Isn’t she Xu Youning? Why is she still alive?”

“...” Mu Sijue compressed his thin lips into a cold straight line. He did not say anything, but there was a chilly aura about him.

“Brother Sijue,” Yang Shanshan said coquettishly with great dissatisfaction, “Xu Youning worked undercover. She will hurt you. Why don’t you kill her?”

Perhaps influenced by Yang Shanshan’s words, Mu Sijue could not help looking at Xu Youning.

Then, he saw Kang Ruicheng stroking Xu Youning’s face.

In front of Kang Ruicheng, Xu Youning was not as resistant as she had been when he touched her. On the contrary, she seemed to be used to Kang Ruicheng’s intimacy. She responded naturally, with a look of passion and affection.

Mu Sijue’s gaze was as cold as the falling snow in an instant.

Yang Shanshan, who was closest to Mu Sijue, was the first to notice the change in his mood. She looked at him blankly and asked, “Brother Sijue, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Boyan knew best what was wrong with Mu Sijue. He glanced at Mu Sijue and coughed softly.

Mu Sijue’s lips, which had been stretched into a straight line, finally parted. He said coldly, “Have the police in City A always been so inefficient?”

“…”

Lu Boyan was sure that the police in City A was innocent. Even if he wanted to defend the police, Mu Sijue would not listen to him.

Right at this moment, several policemen walked into the banquet hall and went straight toward Kang Ruicheng.

Panic flashed across Xu Youning’s fair face.

Kang Ruicheng thought that Xu Youning was worried about him, so he comforted her. “A Ning, don’t worry. I will definitely come back before tomorrow night.”

Actually, Xu Youning was worried that she would be exposed after Kang Ruicheng came back. She was thinking about what she should do.

Hearing Kang Ruicheng’s words, Xu Youning realized that she should show her worry about Kang Ruicheng first.

Xu Youning nodded. Although she tried her best to suppress it, her voice was still trembling. She subtly showed Kang Ruicheng how worried she was and said, “I will help you find a way.”

With a snap, Mu Sijue put down the glass in his hand, and the red liquid swirled in the glass and almost spilled out.

The policemen walked up to Kang Ruicheng and showed him their licenses. Then, one of them announced that Kang Ruicheng was suspected of committing a crime, and finally said, “Mr. Kang, please come with us.”

Kang Ruicheng seemed to have guessed that he would be fine, and said calmly, “I have something to tell my assistant.”

Kang Ruicheng had not yet been convicted, so the police could not refuse his request. At most, they could thoroughly monitor his conversation with Dongzi.

“Dongzi,” Kang Ruicheng looked at Dongzi and said, “I still have something to tell you. Come and listen carefully.”

Dongzi nodded and said, “Yes, Brother Cheng.”

When Kang Ruicheng was about to say something, Xu Youning suddenly stepped forward and went straight to Mu Sijue.

This was her last chance. She had to stop Mu Sijue and fight for a chance for her and her child.

Yang Shanshan noticed Xu Youning, stood in front of Mu Sijue and shouted, “Xu Youning, what are you going to do?”

Only then did Xu Youning notice Yang Shanshan. She frowned and said, “Get out of my way!”

No matter why Yang Shanshan appeared here or what relationship she had with Mu Sijue, Xu Youning had no time to argue with Yang Shanshan now.

If she could not stop Mu Sijue, both she and her child would be in danger.
