Mu Ci muttered to himself, “After torturing her for many years, she found me as a stumbling block, so she used the medicine she had successfully developed on me bit by bit. If the plan continues, I will die at the end of this year without any accidents. I will be plagued by illness for a long time and die naturally. There’s no suspense. It’s indeed a brilliant move.”
Liu Ming’s expression was already very ugly, but he still said objectively, “Young Master, I’m afraid Madam doesn’t have such a strategy.”
It was not that he looked down on her, but it was just an objective evaluation.
Mu Ci sneered. “That’s right.”
However, his expression was already as cold as an iceberg. “Who else would hate An Ya! Only by getting rid of her can she vent her hatred? She can’t be brazen and can only infiltrate bit by bit. She can endure it for more than 20 years. Uncle Liu, I’m afraid even those smart old masters might not be able to do such a thing, right?”
Liu Ming had to admit this. It was happy to love someone, but hating someone was definitely not something that one could say out loud. It was heart-wrenching day and night, right?
This person was really too terrifying.
The two of them fell silent.
It was obvious that neither Duan Si nor Mu En had such an ability.
After a long time, Mu Ci said slowly, “I’m afraid everyone in the Mu Family has already become his pawns. In that case, let’s continue forward. He’s in the dark, and we’re in the open. We’ll just counter every move.”
Liu Ming nodded when he heard that. There was no better solution at the moment.
Mu Ci turned around and glanced at Bei Shuo’s door. He sighed softly. “I just shouldn’t have implicated Bei Shuo.”
Liu Ming said, “Young Master, without Young Madam, I’m afraid—”
Mu Ci was probably dead now.
Mu Ci was silent.
Liu Ming said softly, “Young Master, this is all fate. It’s your and Young Madam’s lives. Since Young Madam can appear at the most critical moment, she will definitely be able to escape with you. Young Master, the most important thing now is that we can’t give up and admit defeat!”
Mu Ci finally nodded gently. “Uncle Liu, you’re right. I have to know who wants my life. I can’t die for no reason. For Bei Shuo, I can’t die for no reason!”
His gaze on Liu Ming gradually turned sharp. “For Bei Shuo, I can become a demon on the spot!”
Liu Ming nodded heavily. Only such a Mu Ci could survive, and survival was the most important.
Luo Bing rushed over in the morning.
Mu Ci woke up with a start. The first thing he did was to gesture to Luo Bing to keep quiet. He glared at Luo Bing and Shen Su, who followed in.
The two of them immediately tiptoed out of the ward and went to the small hall outside.
Mu Ci drove the wheelchair out and closed the door gently. Before Luo Bing could speak, he said, “She woke up in the middle of the night from the pain. I had no choice but to get the nurse to give her a painkiller shot. She just fell asleep not long ago.”
Shen Su, who was usually arrogant, was like a child who had done something wrong at this moment. She lowered her hands and looked guilty.
Mu Ci glanced at her and said, “Bei Shuo asked if you were alright when she woke up. She was worried that you would be frightened.”
Shen Su’s tears fell. “Big Brother, she saved my life! Otherwise, I would be the one lying here. Mu Ci, I’m sorry!”
Mu Ci said, “Shen Su, if the two of you had changed positions back then, would you have risked your life to protect Bei Shuo?”
Shen Su nodded vigorously. “Yes, I will! I will!”
Mu Ci softened her voice. “You didn’t let anyone down. This was an accident. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
Luo Bing patted Shen Su’s hand. “Didn’t you save Sister out of instinct back then? Shen Su, you have a good sister who will live and die with you. Why are you crying?”
Shen Su was slightly stunned and finally stopped crying.
Mu Ci did not know about the Shen Family’s siblings’ matter, and he did not mind. He said to Luo Bing, “I know you want to ask me why this happened. My people are still investigating. There are no results yet.”
Luo Bing had already calmed down after persuading Shen Su. “Bei Shuo has her own special painkillers. They’re better than those in the hospital. Get someone to bring them over.”
Mu Ci was stunned. Why hadn’t he thought of that?
He hurriedly called Uncle Liu and asked him to get the medicine from the safe. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
Luo Bing said, “When we were young, we used the external injuries medicine the most. We used painkillers, hemostatic medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine. We always used the most. Bei Shuo is very experienced in external injuries. I’m afraid she’s in so much pain this time.. Is the wound very serious?”
