Chapter 119 He's Still Afraid (Revised Version)
Yu Zhan's eyes were filled with ferocity, as if someone was gripping his heart tightly and wouldn't let go, the pain was so intense that he felt like he was suffocating!
He looked at the woman's scratched wrist in his hand, imagining the scene of her being taken away by someone else today, and a chill ran down his spine.
If she really died at Liao Xian's hands, he would probably never forgive himself for the rest of his life!
He truly regretted not answering her call.
He gasped, a strange doubt creeping into his heart.
Was his phone really accidentally knocked down by Mu Bu?
Did it land so accurately that it shut down?
What a coincidence.
He felt so guilty he wanted to slap himself.
Watching the woman in front of him slowly fall asleep, he made a phone call and had someone send over some clothes. He then took off all his clothes, packed them up, and threw them away.
Then, his gaze settled on the cup of bubble tea on the bedside table.
He glanced at it, picked it up, and intended to throw it away, but he didn't.
He drank it.
Not long after, Shen Yan arrived.
Yu Zhan tucked the blanket around Luo Shu and carefully walked out of the ward.
During the half-day that Luo Shu was missing, something unexpected happened, whether by coincidence or intentional, no one knows.
An explosion occurred at Mubu's villa.
Preliminary investigations have ruled out a gas leak as the cause of the explosion. In addition to Mu Bu's fingerprints, Luo Shu's fingerprints were also found in the kitchen.
He lowered his eyes.
Mubu said she did not fire.
"What did the police say?" Yu Zhan asked.
“Manager Mu said no shots were fired, and there were his wife’s fingerprints at the scene. She will probably be taken in for questioning.” Shen Yan analyzed, “It can’t be such a coincidence. According to what you said, Mr. Yu, it’s not hard to guess that the clothes were stained. Some things are actually traceable.”
Yu Zhan smiled.
If Luo Shu wanted to mess with her, why would she dirty her own hands?
Luo Shu is always meticulous in her actions. If she wanted to cause trouble for Mu Bu, she wouldn't have made such a big fuss, which would be completely detrimental to her.
Yu Zhan took out his phone. His phone showed no signs of damage whatsoever. She would hang up the phone at such a crucial moment. Perhaps she knew something beforehand and didn't want others to know?
"Investigate thoroughly." Yu Zhan took out a cigarette from his pocket and awkwardly lit one.
He doesn't smoke much, but after not being able to find Luo Shu today, he checked the surveillance footage and saw that she had been kidnapped. His heart was in his throat, and suddenly he wanted a cigarette.
His hands were shaking.
"What was the name of the manager who signed a contract worth over 80 million last month?" he suddenly asked.
“Gao Shan,” Shen Yan said.
"Okay." Yu Zhan exhaled a puff of smoke, the wisps of smoke swirling around his glasses and blurring his vision.
Not long after, Mubu's parents arrived.
Mu Bu was already asleep. After Mu Long and Bu Ling checked Mu Bu's injuries, they chatted with the doctor for a few minutes and then walked out of the ward, where they happened to run into Yu Zhan.
"Ah Zhan, thank you so much this time! If it weren't for you, my little one..." Bu Ling said with a worried expression.
Mu Long quickly stopped her, saying, "The person is fine now, don't talk about such unlucky things."
Bu Ling shut her mouth, her eyes filled with fear.
A girl's legs are also very precious; if they get bumped or bruised and leave scars, it won't look good.
"Ah Zhan, thank you," Mu Long added.
Yu Zhan didn't speak, he just nodded.
He believed that having known the Mu family for so many years, and knowing that Mu Bu was diligent and conscientious in his work at the company, he had never mistreated anyone.
I don't know what was driving her to do something so extreme today.
He sent a message to Shen Yan, who had just left to handle some business, asking him to investigate the connection between Liao Xian and Mu Bu.
He glanced at the two kind-looking people again, his gaze growing even colder.
Mu Long seemed to notice his expression and asked casually, "Where is Mrs. Yu now?"
Yu Zhan's eyes darkened. "Uncle Mu, what business do you have with my wife?"
“You should know very well, Zhan, the police acted very quickly. There were her fingerprints at the scene, even on the gas stove switch.” Mu Long was clearly a little angry.
"So what?" Yu Zhan stubbed out his cigarette on a pebble on the trash can, smirked, and snorted. "Do you have any proof that she opened it?"
If it were Luo Shu who did it, she wouldn't do it so openly; her specialty is making others dig up their own graves.
Mu Long didn't say anything more. For the sake of that woman, he didn't want to offend the man in front of him. If he angered him, Mu Bu would have a hard time working at the company in the future.
Besides, he was the one who saved the person today, so Luo Shu did deserve half the credit.
"Uncle Mu, don't be so absolute. If we wanted Mu Bu dead, we would never have bothered with this matter again."
When he said "we," he meant that Luo Shu and Yu Zhan were one entity, not just one person; they shared both prosperity and adversity.
Mu Long gritted his teeth.
He thought Yu Zhan would give him some face, at least let someone come out to meet him or explain, but he didn't expect Yu Zhan to protect him directly.
That's surprising.
I heard that this woman recently married Yu Zhan, so I suppose they didn't have much affection for each other. At least compared to others, he shouldn't have cared about that woman as much. Who knew it would turn out like this?
Bu Ling pulled Mu Long aside and whispered to him to calm down and not to rush things.
How could Mu Long not be anxious? If it really was Luo Shu who did it, his daughter couldn't just be bullied like this.
Moreover, how could an unknown junior like Luo Shu be compared to a professor like him?
So what if she has Yu Zhan backing her up?!
Looking at these two incomprehensible people, Yu Zhan became even more convinced of the truth of the matter.
He lit another cigarette, not intending to break ties with them.
After finishing his cigarette, he let the smoke dissipate before returning to his ward.
The woman turned over, mumbling to herself, her brow furrowed, as if she had encountered something bad in her dream.
Yu Zhan carefully sat down beside her, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and smoothed her furrowed brows.
In her dream, the woman reached out and took his hand, holding him tightly in her arms.
He frowned, took off his shoes, crawled into her bed, and pulled her into his arms.
He then realized that she was cold and shivering in bed.
He kissed her forehead and held her tighter.
"Goodnight, my wife," he murmured.
Luo Shu seemed to sense his warmth, and her body gradually warmed up, and she began to fall into a deep sleep.
"Ah Zhan, answer the phone..." she whimpered.
Yu Zhan's brows furrowed into a "川" shape.
"I'm sorry, Shu, I'm so sorry..." His guilt grew stronger.
At this moment, he was still afraid.
