In the Si family's old house, in the magnificent living room, the atmosphere was so cold that people shivered.
Si Jianhui sat upright on the sofa, his hands resting on his gilded dragon-headed cane. His face was grim as he asked, "It's been a few days, and you still haven't found anything?"
They are just two little kids, how could they be hidden so well!
What he didn't know was that Mu Xiaoche had hacked into the computers of the shopping mall and the hotel the night he returned and deleted all the surveillance footage, making it impossible to find it.
In addition, Mu Baoer also attached great importance to this matter and kept the secret tightly under control. It was only because Si Lijue's men and Si Borong were following him that the secret was leaked.
"The computer was attacked and all the surveillance was deleted. The other party must have come prepared." The butler said worriedly. He had acted quickly enough, but he didn't expect the other party to be so swift.
"All the data has been copied and is being repaired, but... there is little hope." The housekeeper added nervously. Everyone could see how much Si Jianhui valued these two children.
As expected, Si Jianhui's expression darkened as soon as he heard this. "How's Li Jue doing? What did he say? Is he planning to keep such a big thing a secret?"
These are not just any random people, but two living children with the blood of the Si family.
"Master Li Jue is acting normal, and judging by his reaction, he certainly doesn't seem to be aware of the child's existence. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Si Jianhui stopped talking, not knowing whether he was angry or couldn't think of what to say. He rubbed his temples irritably, feeling bad.
He just watched his great-grandson slip away from him! This was even more annoying than not having a great-grandson himself!
"That's all for now. Have someone keep an eye on it and report to me immediately if there's any movement."
"good."
"I just don't believe it. Two children could have really popped out from between the rocks! But this matter is really strange. Those two children are also smarter than ordinary people. You should be more careful. If they are specifically targeting Li Jue, deal with them cleanly. Li Jue has a soft personality and we can't distract him."
"yes."
The butler responded, lowering his eyes to hide all his emotions.
Suddenly, he thought of a sentence he had heard yesterday. After hesitating for a while, he decided to tell Si Jianhui, "A few days ago, a maid from the Lu residence came over and mentioned Master Jingyi's condition while chatting. She said that Master Jingyi had been hysterical for a while and kept calling him nephew."
"But the Lu and Si families don't have any children. Even among the collateral branches, the youngest is fifteen or sixteen years old. I don't think it's possible for them to win the favor of Young Master Jingyi."
"Also, although the Wanyuan Hotel's surveillance footage has been taken down, the lobby manager on duty that day said he saw Young Master Jingyi and the Qin family members go in. It's nothing special to say they were just friends having tea, but the timing is indeed a bit of a coincidence, and coupled with what the maid said..."
The butler organized his words and told the story in a leisurely manner. Finally, he asked cautiously, "Old sir, do you think Young Master Jingyi knows something?"
Si Jianhui listened and thought about it, and realized that this was indeed a possibility. "I'll ask Jing Yi to come back and ask him."
"But if Young Master Jingyi knew but didn't say it, he must have some concerns. Why don't we test it out first?" said the butler. He knew very well that although Lu Jingyi seemed cheerful and easy to talk to, he actually had a very stubborn temper.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Si Jianhui nodded and said, then sent a text message to Lu Jingyi, asking him to come back for dinner in the evening.
Lu Jingyi had nothing to do, so he agreed without hesitation when he heard this. He even went there early to talk to the old man.
Lu Jingyi is a sweet-talker. Even if it's just on the phone, he will pour out nice words without paying, making Si Jianhui laugh heartily.
"Grandpa, I'm going out now. I'll be there soon. See you later. Bye~" Lu Jingyi said with a smile and hung up the phone.
Si Jianhui also put down his hand, his expression much happier, "This kid is just like her mother, especially good at making people happy."
Speaking of Lu Jingyi, Si Jianhui thought of Lu Jingyi's mother. He was filled with emotion for a moment and sighed deeply. Children are the debt of their parents. Such a good child, how could he... Well, it's better not to mention it.
Knowing that Lu Jingyi was coming back, Si Jianhui quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare more delicious food.
Just as he gave the order, the butler came in and said, "Old sir, someone from the Mu family is here."
When he said that, Si Jianhui realized that Mu Xingan had made an appointment with him to visit today. "Only Xingan?"
"With his wife and Miss Mu."
"Wanqing, hurry up, come in. I haven't seen this girl for a long time since she went abroad to study. Isn't she more beautiful now?"
Speak of the devil, and here comes the devil. As soon as Si Jianhui finished speaking, someone walked in.
As soon as Mu Wanqing saw Si Jianhui, she came up to him, took his arm affectionately, and called him "Grandpa" with a smile.
She is well-educated, generous, and considerate, which is exactly what Si Jianhui wants for his granddaughter-in-law. Moreover, the Mu family is a revolutionary family with high-ranking officials in the family. The combination of the two families is almost a powerful alliance, which makes him even more satisfied!
"To be honest, I came here today to discuss the matter of our two children with you." Mu Xing'an went straight to the point.
At that time, at the MR Group, Si Lijue, who was being worried about, sneezed violently. He subconsciously looked up at the rabbit-like Mu Baoer, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Baoer, come here."
Come over here just like you said, who do you think I am?
Mu Baoer puffed out her cheeks, angrily put down the snacks in her hand and walked towards Si Lijue, smiling sweetly, "CEO, you called me... um!"
Si Lijue reached out and pulled Mu Baoer into his arms, kissing her fiercely and tightly.
Ever since the two of them opened up to each other, this kind of thing has become common.
On the office table, on the sofa, in the lounge, on the balcony, and a few times even in the tea room and the secretariat, when they ran into each other, his eyes met for a moment and he would kiss her directly, catching Mu Baoer off guard, making her feel embarrassed and anxious.
She used to think Si Lijue was quite serious, until the last time they had a heart-to-heart talk, she realized that he was simply an old rogue in sheep's clothing, and he really was always... Mu Baoer blushed and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Realizing that Mu Baoer was distracted, Si Lijue bit her hard and kissed her even more fiercely.
When Mu Baoer was almost suffocating, he finally let her go and pressed his hand against her forehead, smiling wickedly and speaking in a hoarse voice, "Baoer, we've kissed so many times, why haven't you made any progress?"
