"Xiaoyun, come and eat!"
Upon hearing the Queen Mother's voice, Mu Liuyun and the others paused their live stream.
Just as I was about to enjoy my delicious meal, my phone suddenly emitted a crisp notification sound.
He picked up his phone and saw that it was a message from Zhang Rui, followed by a video.
Mu Liuyun curiously clicked on the video, and the first thing she saw was Zhang Rui's slightly nervous figure.
He was seen pressing down on a person lying on the ground with both hands, and that person was none other than "Old Mo," whom they knew.
However, just as Zhang Rui was trying to gain further control over the other party, he unexpectedly noticed something unusual.
It turned out that there were some strange protrusions on "Old Mo's" neck.
These bumps weren't obvious at first, but as Zhang Rui carefully peeled them back, he discovered that the person he had pinned to the ground wasn't the real Lao Mo at all, but a passerby wearing Lao Mo's mask!
"Yun Di, be careful and don't let any strangers get close to the yard. I'm going back to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras now."
"Ring ring... Ring ring..."
The crisp, urgent ringtone broke the brief silence in the room. Mu Liuyun was staring intently at her phone screen, reading the message Zhang Rui had just sent.
However, before he could finish reading the message, the annoying ringtone came in like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next.
He frowned slightly, looking at the unfamiliar number on the caller ID.
Mu Liuyun hesitated for a moment, but in the end she took two deep breaths, as if to encourage herself, and then quickly swallowed the food she had not yet finished chewing.
After the feeling of something stuck in his throat disappeared, he gently slid his finger to the answer button and brought the phone close to his ear: "Hello?"
An old male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Mu Liuyun?"
These four simple words instantly plunged Mu Liuyun into an ice cellar, sending a chill straight up her spine.
Because the voice was all too familiar to him; it was the same smiling, ruthless voice he had heard that night by the abandoned dock.
No matter how much time has passed, the memory of Liu Kun dying in front of him that night remains vivid in his mind.
Especially that unique voice, it seemed to be deeply imprinted in the depths of his mind.
Mu Liuyun's heart suddenly raced, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily appeared on her forehead.
He gripped his phone tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he replied, "Lin Yaodong?"
"That's so rude. You have to call me Second Grandfather."
Lin Yaodong's slightly hoarse voice, bearing the marks of time, slowly drifted over, and strangely, it carried a hint of playfulness.
He spoke to Mu Liuyun in a reproachful tone, like a mischievous old man.
However, Mu Liuyun had no intention of responding to Lin Yaodong's seemingly lighthearted joke at this moment.
His once beautiful face was now filled with gloom, his gaze coldly fixed on the white rice in the bowl in front of him, as if it were not food but something repulsive.
After a moment of silence, Mu Liuyun finally couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Lin Yaodong on the other end of the phone continued to speak with a calm and unhurried smile: "Don't be in such a hurry. I just wanted to ask if you've successfully captured that Lin Yaodong?"
From the video footage that was just played, Mu Liuyun could deduce that not only was there a problem with Lao Mo's identity, but the so-called "Lin Yaodong" who went to eat steamed buns with the village chief could not possibly be the real person.
Thinking of this, Mu Liuyun couldn't help but inwardly cry out in alarm.
He quickly reached out and forcefully pushed Sister Wang, who was listening intently with her head turned to the side, and said urgently in a low voice, "The village chief is in a very dangerous situation right now. You need to go find Zhang Rui for help!"
However, Sister Wang looked troubled when faced with Mu Liuyun's sudden request.
After all, her primary task at this moment was to protect Mu Liuyun. If she left rashly, what if something happened to Mu Liuyun?
So for a moment, Sister Wang was caught in a dilemma, not knowing what choice she should make.
Just then, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice drifted over: "You're so smart, you guessed right! That's Old Mo, the one by the river, the laborer I hired for two hundred."
When the cost of two hundred yuan was mentioned, his voice noticeably lowered, as if he were quite distressed by the expense, as if every penny was a piece of his heart.
"Come to think of it, I am the big boss. How could I possibly go out in person? I'm probably still soaking in the hot springs and drinking red wine at the hotel right now."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun could no longer suppress her anxiety and worry. She immediately stood up and prepared to go to the village chief's house to rescue him.
However, before he could take a step, "Lin Yaodong" on the other side spoke up again: "Save your energy. I have absolutely no interest in those insignificant characters."
Upon hearing this, Mu Liuyun frowned and angrily asked, "If that's the case, then what exactly do you want to do?"
"I want you."
"You shameless old man, you're just lusting after Xiaoyun's beauty! You bastard!"
Upon hearing this, Sister Wang, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and started cursing.
"...Listen to me. I want you to come to the Mohe High-Speed Railway Guesthouse, alone."
Interrupted by Sister Wang, the playfulness in Lin Yaodong's voice vanished completely, leaving only indifference.
"Otherwise, I don't need to say more about what Old Mo would do."
In fact, regardless of whether Mu Liuyun obeys orders or not, Lao Mo will do what he is supposed to do.
Lin Yaodong hadn't expected that the eldest daughters of the Chu and Shen families would care so much about Mu Liuyun, and would travel so far to help him.
Now, not only the Lin family, but also the Shen and Chu families have become his stepping stones.
Thinking about all this, Lin Yaodong couldn't help but laugh.
"Remember, you're alone."
"If I come here, will you let the village chief and the others go?"
"Village chief? Of course not. I've already said I'm not interested in them. Right now, Old Mo is with the eldest daughters of the Chu and Shen families, and a girl named Mu Xiaoxi. How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
"How could this be? Xiaoxi and the others!"
Hearing Lin Yaodong's words, Mu Liuyun was even more surprised. Sister Wang, who was standing next to her, scratched her head and said with some guilt.
"Zhang Rui asked that Miss Chu for help and told us not to tell you."
"Damn it, Lin Yaodong, you're not allowed to hurt them!"
Mu Liuyun's voice was full of urgency. Even if she didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore, she didn't want to see them get hurt because of her.
"I'll do it right away..."
"Don't rush, let me let you hear their voices."
As he was speaking, the landline rang on the other end of the phone, followed by Lin Yaodong's voice.
"Is it all done?"
"It's done. He's lying on the ground, like he's dead."
"Um?"
His response was a pleasant female voice.
