Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Mu Yuan’s mother immediately cried.

Mu Yuan stood in shock, and the color in his face was wiped off completely. When Jack was on his phone, he seemed to have overheard a blurry phrase: “long-distance transmission”. This was a method that did not require connections to computers to transfer digital information—one could do so just by being nearby. In other words, as long as he was near the study room, the other party could connect and transfer the information. His phone had always been held by his father.

And his father had always been holed up in the study room.

A god-given opportunity.

Even if his father did not take his phone away by chance, his bedroom was only a wall apart from the study room. Others could also receive the information in the study room. Mu Yuan’s body became icy-cold.

“What friend did you make? You invited the wolf into the room. Have you ever thought about what is going to happen to me, your uncle, or your big brother? You pushed the title of a national traitor onto our family. How will I have the face to see our ancestors? You might as well kill me with a gun right now.”

Mu Jianxin’s voice was bright and powerful. Mu Yuan saw the disappointment and despondency in his father’s eyes. He was like a soulless person, constantly pushed from behind but not knowing whether to move forward or retreat. He did not know what was right and what was wrong. He was in a state of utter confusion like he did not know what happened at all.

He did not believe that Jack would do such a thing.

The Jack he knew was an exceptional, righteous man. Even if Jack really did come for the machinery tools, he had already made mental preparations for it. They never mentioned or discussed it. This was a tacit understanding between them. They would not discuss anything work-related.

He had also made preparations to fight with him through intellect and courage. He would also not use such an underhanded method to sabotage him.

“I don’t believe it!” After being pushed to the cliff, Mu Yuan finally voiced out a weak resistance. He was sure. He deeply believed that the men he knew would not do something like this.

There must be a misunderstanding here.

Mu Jianxin was so angry that he wanted to hit him one more time but he was stopped by Mu Yuan’s mother. Mu Yuan’s mother looked at her son disappointedly. “Your father is going to be brought away and interrogated. He may not come back. And you are still siding with an outsider. Little Yuan, why are you so foolish? Would rather believe an outsider than to believe us?”

Mu Yuan was not repelled by this sentence. However, the gazes that his family threw him made him uneasy. His aunt who had always adored him could not believe it either. Mu Yuan felt like he was being burnt on a cross—no one could understand his difficulties and feelings.

A guard walked in. “Chief, it’s time to go.”

Mu Jianxin nodded and followed him. Mu Yuan felt like he had lost his main bone. Mu Jianxin was a politician, and he said blandly, “If anyone asks about your relationship with him, deny it with conviction, understand? Otherwise, you will never see your father again. Our enemies could be celebrating right now, seizing pieces of evidence everywhere. The enemies in the country are more terrifying than the enemies outside.”

“Yes, I understand,” said Mu Yuan. He suddenly grabbed his coat and rushed out.

“Stop!” Mu Jianshou was enraged. “Are you ignoring my words?”

“I want to ask him properly. If I don’t, I would feel indignant.”

Mu Yuan did not care about his family’s opposition. He drove the jeep like a rocket, rampaging forward without a care in the world. He exited the main compound and drove towards his apartment. He did not even have time to park his car before he rushed up the stairs. He did not expect to see a tall man, clad in black clothing, in his apartment. He had a determined expression and carried a gun. The two of them turned their heads back to look at Mu Yuan, who had suddenly barged in.
