“Okay! I’ll listen to whatever you want to say!”
Mumu slid off the chair nimbly like a little monkey. Suddenly, he noticed that Xu Youning did not touch her rice at all, and his expression turned serious immediately. “Auntie Youning, how come you’re not eating?”
Xu Youning had no appetite and said honestly, “I’m not hungry.”
Mumu tilted his head and thought for a moment. Finally, he remembered what Xu Youning had once said. “When I was sick, you told me that the sick are even more in need of food, and that if I didn’t eat any food, I would not be an obedient child. Aren’t you being disobedient now?”
“…” Xu Youning finally knew what it meant to stew in her own juice, and she was speechless.
Mumu brought a cup of soup to Xu Youning and said, “You don’t have to eat, but you have to drink it!”
The little boy just vaguely remembered that Su Jian’an had always asked Xu Youning to drink soup at the top of the mountain, so he subconsciously thought that soup was good for Xu Youning.
Xu Youning had no choice but to compromise. “Well, I’ll drink it.”
She sat down, lifted the white porcelain lid, and drank the soup slowly.
She did not have much time to make Mumu happy, so she would agree to any of his request.
“Good girl!”
Mumu imitated Xu Youning’s usual tone and stood aside watching Xu Youning drink the soup.
After drinking the soup, Xu Youning felt that she had almost recovered. She asked Mumu, “Is that all right now?”
“Well,” Mumu pursed his small lips and said reluctantly, “Sixty points for you at most!”
“Thank you. I’m very satisfied with the score.” Xu Youning took the little boy’s hand and asked, “Can we go now?”
“Yes!”
Mumu grabbed Xu Youning’s hand tightly and was about to run out as usual. If it were in the past, Xu Youning could definitely keep up with him, and they would laugh and run out together.
This time, before Mumu took a step forward, he remembered that Xu Youning was not feeling well. His entire body froze as if someone hit the pause button on him. He tilted his head to look at Xu Youning and said, “We are going for a walk, so we should walk slowly.”
Xu Youning knew that the little boy cared about her health, so she caressed his head with a smile, took him out, and they went for an evening walk.
While Mumu and Xu Youning were taking a walk, Mu Sijue and Su Jian’an finally learned of the whereabouts of Doctor Liu.
In the private hospital.
Doctor Liu had suddenly submitted her resignation, so she could not be found in the Eighth People’s Hospital. Mu Sijue had to send out some people to find her through other channels.
While waiting, Su Jian’an said, “Sijue, let’s have lunch first.”
Mu Sijue had no appetite, but he could not let Su Jian’an starve. Otherwise, Lu Boyan, who was henpecked, would definitely come to take her home.
He nodded, asked Su Jian’an what she would like to eat, and ordered someone to bring the food over.
During the meal, Mu Sijue paused very often while eating and he was frequently absent-minded.
Su Jian’an did not say anything, nor did she comfort Mu Sijue.
She knew that Mu Sijue was worried about Xu Youning. She knew better than anyone what Mu Sijue was feeling at the moment, and any comforting words were too pallid to be of any use.
The only thing that could comfort Mu Sijue now was to bring Xu Youning back.
Not long after the meal, one of Mu Sijue’s men rushed back.
Mu Sijue suddenly stood up with a rare look of anxiety on his face. “Any news?”
The man scratched his head and looked as if he wanted to say something but did not know what to say.
Mu Sijue was not patient enough when it came to Xu Youning. He shouted, “Say it!”
The man finally said, “Seventh Brother, actually… we’ve been wasting our time.”
“What do you mean?” Mu Sijue’s pupils suddenly contracted and darkened. “What happened to Doctor Liu?”
According to Kang Ruicheng’s way of doing things, it was indeed possible for him to kill Doctor Liu to get rid of the problem forever, even if Xu Youning tried to stop him.
“Doctor Liu is fine, and-” the man said while pointing to the outside of the ward, “she is near us, for she is in the hospital.”
Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes, and his voice was as cold and hard as ice. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
“I have a question.” Su Jian’an looked at the man and asked, “Is Doctor Liu staying with Ye Luo, who is a member of Yuechuan’s medical team?”
Su Jian’an spoke slowly, and her voice was very gentle and pleasant. In addition, she had a pair of clean and bright peach-blossom eyes. Therefore, even without acting coquettishly, she exuded a lot of charm.
When the man looked into Su Jian’an’s eyes, he blushed immediately. He looked away in a hurry and nodded. “Yes.” After a pause, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Mrs. Lu, how did you know?”
Mu Sijue also looked confused.
He knew that Su Jian’an was good at figuring things out, but he never knew that she had the power of precognition.
Su Jian’an honestly said, “We found out that Doctor Liu is Ye Luo’s aunt, and they are relatives.”
“Ye Luo?” Mu Sijue repeated the name. Thinking of Song Jiqing, who was also a core member of Yuechuan’s medical team, he had an ambiguous look.
Su Jian’an thought for a moment and said, “Or, shall we ask Dr. Song to find Ye Luo and figure out the situation first?”
“No.” Mu Sijue ordered the man, “Bring Doctor Liu and Ye Luo here.”
The man did not understand why Mu Sijue wanted to do this, but he did not dare to ask. He nodded and quickly left the ward.
Su Jian’an gritted her teeth and thought for a moment. She could not figure it out no matter how hard she tried. She gave in to curiosity and asked, “Sijue, why would you want to bring Ye Luo here too?”
She had checked and found that Ye Luo had nothing to do with Xu Youning, and that they would not get valuable information from Ye Luo at all.
Mu Sijue sneered slightly and said meaningfully, “I heard from Boyan that you like to be a spectator, and I’ll let you be one later.”
Su Jian’an vaguely understood what Mu Sijue was going to do and sighed in her heart, “He is too scheming.”
Not long after, Doctor Liu and Ye Luo were brought over.
Ye Luo did not know what had happened, so she subconsciously protected Doctor Liu and looked at Su Jian’an and Mu Sijue warily. “Mrs. Lu, what’s the matter?”
“Take it easy.” Su Jian’an smiled and nodded. “I have some questions for you.”
“I can understand why you have questions for me.” Ye Luo looked at Doctor Liu and asked, “But why did you have to bring my aunt here?”
“Doctor Ye, you misunderstood,” Su Jian’an said, “In fact, we have some questions for Doctor Liu.”
“But you got swept up in it.”
“Is it because I let my aunt stay in the hospital without permission?” Ye Luo calmly found an excuse. “It’s boring for me to stay alone in the hospital, so I asked my aunt to stay with me for a few days. If you don’t allow it, I can let my aunt leave here.”
Su Jian’an thought for a moment and decided not to explain to Ye Luo for the time being. She looked at Doctor Liu and asked, “Doctor Liu, you were a doctor from the department of gynaecology and obstetrics of the Eighth People’s Hospital. You did the pregnancy checkups for Youning, didn’t you?”
“…” Doctor Liu looked at Su Jian’an warily and did not know whether to admit it or not.
Su Jian’an did not wait for her answer and directly introduced Mu Sijue to her. “This gentleman’s surname is Mu, and he is the biological father of Youning’s child.”
“Mu, the father of Xu Youning’s child?”
Doctor Liu’s eyes widened and she looked at Mu Sijue in disbelief. She exclaimed almost reflexively, “Are you Mr. Mu?”
She would always remember that after her sudden and short disappearance, Xu Youning suddenly came back to her. She left a phone number, wrote the word “Mu” beside it, and told her that the man surnamed Mu was the father of her child.
A few days ago, Xu Youning suddenly contacted her and asked her to go into hiding where no one could find her. She could vaguely guess that something had happened to Xu Youning.
She found a safe place-the hospital where Ye Luo was temporarily working.
Ye Luo told her that this hospital belonged to Lu Enterprises which had excellent security facilities, so ordinary people would not be allowed in. She had a separate suite in her dormitory, so it would not be a problem for her to stay there for a few days.
During the past few days in the hospital, Doctor Liu had been pondering if she should contact the man surnamed Mu and tell him that Xu Youning was in danger.
However, Xu Youning had specifically told her not to contact that man unless she had no other choice, so she did not call.
Doctor Liu once wondered what kind of person the man surnamed Mu was like.
She never imagined that it would be this man in front of her.
Mu Sijue had something in common with Kang Ruicheng. They seemed to be equally difficult to deal with.
However, Kang Ruicheng had an aura of blood and killing, which was terrifying.
As for Mu Sijue, he had an aura of darkness, which made him look like a king from the Dark World, as if he had the power to kill everyone including her.
The biggest difference was that Mu Sijue had a sense of righteousness that Kang Ruicheng did not have, which made him trustworthy.
Even so, Doctor Liu was still not sure that he was indeed the man Xu Youning had mentioned.
Doctor Liu thought for a moment, took out her mobile phone, and dialed the number she had recorded.
Very soon, Mu Sijue’s cell phone rang.
He was the man Xu Youning had mentioned!
The shock in Doctor Liu’s eyes faded away, and she let out a long sigh of relief. “It’s really you.”
Mu Sijue’s gaze seemed to be frozen, and his cold voice carried an order that could not be refused. “Please tell me everything you know about Xu Youning.”
For a moment, Doctor Liu was in a daze. “Too much information. You need to tell me where to start.”
Su Jian’an thought for a moment and said, “You saw Youning for the first time when you did the pregnancy checkup for her, so just start from her pregnancy. In addition, we have a question. Is Youning… sick?”
When it came to the question, Su Jian’an subconsciously spoke slowly due to her worries.
If Xu Youning was really sick, it would be a fatal blow to Mu Sijue.
“Oh, yes!” Doctor Liu suddenly remembered something. She looked at Mu Sijue and said, “Miss Xu has two blood clots in her brain!”
