While Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened, he got up slowly and went to the side path the moment he noticed Li Si was hesitant to talk.
“Speak.”
Li Si took a deep breath before he continued, “Master, something bad has happened!”
He caught his breath before saying quietly, “Something happened to Master Mo in New York.”
Mu Yuchen’s expression darkened. He squinted his eyes as he darted Li Si a dangerous glance. “What happened?”
“The new company was found hiding something. There seemed to be a fight as well. He got injured and was brought away by the police. Ah Bo did his best to keep the news from spreading, so no one else knows about it yet. Master Mo wants you to head over. I’m afraid he can’t handle this alone.” Li Si’s tone sounded full of concern.
Mu Yuchen’s expression changed and his gaze turned cool. “Are the managers there useless pieces of trash?”
“Master, things are complicated at the moment. We’re not exactly sure what happened, and Ah Bo was only able to suppress the news at the moment since it’s an emergency. We still need your orders to take action. What should we do?” Li Si’s expression was grim.
Mu Yuchen clenched his fists before turning around.
“Book a flight ticket to leave today right away. Inform Vice President Zhang Lan and Vice President Wen to come to Maple Residence. I have work for them. Don’t tell anyone about what happened first,” he gave his orders before returning.
“Yes, Master! I’ll get it done right away!” Li Si took a deep breath and went on his way.
…
“What’s wrong, Ah Chen? Why do you look uneasy?” Su Zhengxun instantly noticed that something was wrong when he saw Mu Yuchen’s expression.
“Father, Uncle Su, something has happened at the company. I might have to leave first.”
“Company matters?”
Mu Tangchuan and Su Zhengxun traded glances at each other before nodding.
“Sure.”
“Go ahead. Please come and visit my house when you have the time.”
“Alright.”
…
Mu Yuchen hurried back to Maple Residence where Zhang Lan and Wen Haiming were already waiting outside the door as he arrived. Mu Yuchen brought them into the living room and assigned them their tasks briefly.
It was nearly afternoon when they left. Xi Xiaye was not home yet, and Mu Xiaocheng was still at the Mu residence, so Maple Residence was pretty much empty at the moment.
Mu Yuchen packed up some stuff. Although he wanted to wait for Xi Xiaye to return before leaving, it did not seem like she could make it back soon. Even when he gave Xi Xiaye a call, she did not pick up after several tries.
Li Si grabbed the black briefcase and frowned a little as he gave Mu Yuchen a reminder, “Master, it’s about time. The plane is taking off in an hour. There probably isn’t any traffic jam at this hour, but it’ll still take us about half an hour to get there.”
Mu Yuchen took a deep breath before he took a pen and paper out to quickly scribble a note. He left the pen on the table and casually put on a coat over his shoulders.
“Let’s go!”
He then started walking towards the door.
“Yes, Master!” Li Si followed suit.
Things could be troublesome this time. Ah Bo’s tone sounded like it was pretty severe. Otherwise, Zhou Zimo would not have mentioned that this should be kept a secret for now. He also wanted Mu Yuchen to be there as soon as possible…
Mu Yuchen quickly headed to the airport.
As they were on their way to the airport, Li Si noticed Mu Yuchen frowned throughout the journey.
“Master, should I ask Vice President Zhang Lan to inform Missus?”
“There’s no need. I’ve left a note for her. How’s Zimo doing?”
Mu Yuchen’s top priority now was Zhou Zimo.
“I just heard from Ah Mo. He suffered a fracture in his left arm and is currently unconscious, and from his blood samples…the police…Ah Bo said that there might be a traitor…” Li Si sounded hesitant as his expression looked worse by the minute. He eventually stopped talking as Mu Yuchen understood what he did not say.
Mu Yuchen seemed exhausted. He took a deep breath as his expression turned cold and his eyes darkened.
“Master…” Li Si looked at Mu Yuchen through the rear-view mirror. He was worried about the changes in Mu Yuchen’s expression.
“Idiot! I’ve told him to be careful and not to put anyone he doesn’t trust around him! Just who does he think he is? Arrogant! His alertness is way too low. I have no words to describe his low IQ!” Mu Yuchen’s voice was angry and cold. Evidently, Li Si could sense the uneasiness and anxiety in his voice. It was his first time seeing Mu Yuchen behaving like this.
As he was about to say something, Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing.
Mu Yuchen noticed that he was acting a little wild, so he closed his eyes to calm down for a moment before picking up the call. It was his woman calling.
Xi Xiaye had just bid farewell to Zhuang Shurong and was about to head home. She did not bring her phone along into the temple. After all, she did not expect Mu Yuchen to call her a dozen times. She felt uneasy and quickly called him back.
“What’s wrong? I didn’t bring my phone in just now.” Xi Xiaye’s voice reached him.
His anger toned down a little the moment he heard her voice. “Xiaye, I don’t have much time to explain, but I have an emergency to deal with in New York. Take care of yourself and our son. I’ll explain to you what happened later on.”
