"Are you sure it was Uncle Dong who did it?"
Upon hearing Lin Hongmei's question, Mu Liuyun frowned slightly, trying hard to recall the scenes that had occurred that day.
Her thoughts drifted back to that chilling moment, and Mu Liuyun slowly said, "At that time, the old man did indeed call himself Uncle Dong, and there was a man named Lao Mo beside him. It was this Lao Mo who attacked Liu Kun."
Even after saying all this, Mu Liuyun's eyes still revealed a trace of fear and unease.
Mu Liuyun's words were like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves in Lin Hongmei's heart.
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Since returning to China three years ago, Lin Yaodong has become extremely low-key and rarely makes public appearances.
However, his sudden action was completely out of character.
Based on this alone, Lin Hongmei was certain that Lin Yaodong was the mastermind behind Mu Liuyun's tragic abandonment.
Thinking of this, Lin Hongmei's expression became even more solemn.
She knew perfectly well what Lin Yaodong's actions meant—he was clearly starting to get anxious.
Lin Hongmei knew better than anyone how ruthless and eager to achieve his goals Lin Yaodong was. Therefore, Mu Liuyun's situation remained very dangerous.
Therefore, Lin Hongmei must return as soon as possible to stabilize Lin Yaodong and wait for her father, Lin Jianguo, to return to China.
So, Lin Hongmei gently reached out and stroked Mu Liuyun's head, comforting him, "Little brother, judging from the current situation, Lin Yaodong will definitely not let this go, and he may very well try to harm you again. I'll have Zhang Rui stay by your side to protect you. As for me, I'll have to return to Jincheng first."
Mu Liuyun nodded slightly, without saying anything.
Ever since that incident, whenever he recalled the scene of his last encounter with Uncle Dong, a chill would rise in his heart.
Back then, Uncle Dong wore a seemingly kind but actually sinister and cunning smile, a veritable smiling tiger.
That forced smile and shifty eyes gave off a chilling feeling.
That feeling is really hard to like.
After sending Mu Liuyun back to Beiji Village, Lin Hongmei rushed back to Jincheng by plane again.
Before leaving, Lin Hongmei told Mu Liuyun that her youngest sister, Lin Yurou, would come to Beiji Village to pick him up in a few days.
Upon hearing this name, Mu Liuyun felt another strange sensation.
Lin Yurou was Gu Nan's former ideal woman, and also one of the reasons why Shen Lanxin was jilted at her wedding.
He also once acted as Lin Yurou's stand-in to vent his anger on Shen Lanxin.
Thinking about this, Mu Liuyun realized that although she had never lived in the Lin family, the five Lin sisters were always present in her life.
Mu Xiaoxi treated him as a substitute for Lin Fangyi, Shi Hengyu treated him as a substitute for Lin Jianglu, and Liu Leyao treated him as...
Forget it, let's not mention Liu Leyao.
Mu Liuyun could say without exaggeration that she raised the two children herself. In the end, they didn't even treat her as Mu Liuyun, which was truly heartbreaking.
Stunt doubles come and go, they're all family, it's hilarious!
Especially Shi Hengyu, he's almost turned gay because of stand-in literature.
"If I have the chance to see Sister Lin Fangyi, I must remind her to be careful of this Shi Hengyu, and to stay as far away from him as possible."
Mu Liuyun crossed her arms, snorting coldly while muttering to herself.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun felt somewhat disappointed again.
He originally wanted to ask Lin Hongmei whether, if he really returned to the Lin family, he would be Mu Liuyun or Lin Yunze.
...
...
"Hengyu, hasn't Mu Liuyun returned yet?"
At Jincheng University, Shi Hengyu walked along a tree-lined path, with his textbooks tucked between his arms.
Suddenly, a somewhat shy-looking junior ran up to him and asked that question.
This isn't the first person to ask where Mu Liuyun is lately; in fact, Shi Hengyu has been helping Mu Liuyun deal with these people for a long time.
However, for Shi Hengyu, things are different now than in the past.
During the days Mu Liuyun was away, Shi Hengyu finally realized that he was not gay.
He had no special feelings for Mu Liuyun, and even his friendship with her was very indifferent.
It's even possible that he didn't have any special feelings for Lin Jianglu.
The evidence is that these days, he not only doesn't miss Mu Liuyun, but also feels a sense of relief, and can forget about Mu Liuyun and Lin Jianglu at any time.
The people who kept coming to him every few days to ask about Mu Liuyun were someone he couldn't forget at all.
Because there are just too many of these people!
Without Mu Liuyun, Jincheng University feels like it's lost a lot of its fun.
That figure that often appears in the cafeteria, that figure that is not fast but works incredibly hard in PE class, that figure that plays the role of Sleeping Beauty in every class.
All of these are things that the students miss dearly.
"I'm not familiar with Mu Liuyun, you should ask someone else."
After giving a cold reply to his junior's question, Shi Hengyu continued walking out of the school.
Since that incident, he has also left the school dormitory and rented a house off-campus.
When he reached the school gate, he saw Mu Liuyun's counselor, Li Hong, talking to her father, Vice Principal Li... no, now he's the principal.
The two stood at the school gate, as if waiting for some guests.
After Liu Kun's death, the former principal was arrested for corruption. After that, Jincheng University seemed to be thriving, holding events and competitions every few days.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Shi Hengyu didn't intend to go up and greet Li Hong, since he could easily guess that Li Hong would ask about someone else as soon as she opened her mouth.
At that moment, Shi Hengyu suddenly felt like a rat in a sewer.
After more than ten minutes, Shi Hengyu finally arrived at the rented room and took a deep breath before opening the door.
"Brother Xiaoyu, you're back?"
As soon as I entered, a man's voice came from the inner room, accompanied by the background music from a NES game console.
The man was none other than his childhood playmate, Long Haochen.
After Mu Liuyun left, the two of them rented the place together.
Compared to the unpleasantness of their first meeting, Long Haochen has changed a lot now.
No longer arrogant and domineering, no longer indulging in debauchery, but afflicted with a new problem: games.
"You're back. What should we eat today?"
"Whatever, Xiaoyu, you decide."
The two shared an apartment, splitting the rent equally. Shi Hengyu cooked, while Long Haochen bought groceries.
"Alright."
"grass."
Long Haochen suddenly flung the controller, and Shi Hengyu looked at the TV and, sure enough, he had died on the first level again.
"This is too difficult."
"If you're bad at it, just practice more."
Upon hearing Shi Hengyu's words, Long Haochen seemed to suddenly remember something, and approached Shi Hengyu with a mischievous grin: "Brother Xiaoyu, I have some good news for you."
What good news could you possibly have?
Shi Hengyu glanced at Long Haochen with disdain.
In his opinion, Long Haochen's greatest achievement in the first half of his life as a rich second-generation was probably getting to know Chu Yaqin and Shen Lanxin through Mu Liuyun.
Oh, and one more thing, I knew Lin Jianglu when I was a child.
There is nothing else.
Seeing that Shi Hengyu didn't believe him, Long Haochen wasn't annoyed. He just shook his finger and said mysteriously, "Hmph, you'll regret it later."
"What, could it be that Lin Jianglu is back?"
Shi Hengyu joked with a smile.
For him right now, apart from Lin Jianglu's return, there's probably no other news that can be considered good news.
How did you know!?
Long Haochen looked surprised. He did have Jiang Lu's contact information, but he had never told Shi Hengyu.
He didn't tell Lin Jianglu that he had found Shi Hengyu.
I was hoping to surprise both of us, but it turned out to be guessed.
Seeing Long Haochen's expression, Shi Hengyu also dropped his teasing look and instead exclaimed with surprise, "Really!"
"Of course, Sister Jiang Lu called me herself and said it. Look how happy you are."
Long Haochen didn't know that Shi Hengyu's happiness wasn't because he could see Lin Jianglu, but because he finally had a chance to test his own feelings.
