Yu Xinggui called several times with the phone, but there was no response from the other end. He was so scared that his face turned pale. He pushed the door to go out, but found that the door was locked by someone from the outside.
He knocked on the door anxiously: "Open the door, who locked the door, open the door."
At this time, a servant's voice came from outside: "Master, the mistress said you are not allowed to go out these few days. When you realize your mistake, she will let you out."
The servant's words were actually a slightly modified rehash of Mu Shuya's own words. Mu Shuya's original words were: "Doesn't he like going out? Then don't go out now, never again in your life, lest you embarrass me."
"Open the door, let me out, let me out." Yu Xinggui knocked on the door hard, but no one spoke outside. No matter whether he pounded on the door, kicked the door, or even threatened to jump out of the window, no one responded.
He really wanted to jump out of the window, but when he went to open the door, he found that the lock of the window in his room was welded shut.
He slid down to the ground with his head in his hands in despair. Why was he so useless that he couldn't protect her every time?
He will never be as good as his second brother, ever—
Thinking of Mu Shicang, he suddenly raised his head, threw himself on the bed, grabbed the phone and dialed. Not long after, the call was connected, but it was a woman who answered the phone. He could not care less and said anxiously to the phone: "Second brother, let my second brother answer the phone."
The woman on the other end of the phone seemed stunned for a moment, and after a moment she said, "Excuse me, who are you?"
"This is Yu Xinggui, please let my brother answer the phone."
"Mr. Yu, I'm sorry, President Mu is in a meeting right now. I'll tell him to call you back later." The woman's voice was businesslike.
Yu Xinggui had never lost his temper with anyone in his entire life, but this time he yelled loudly, "Hurry up and get him to the phone. Shushu is in trouble."
The woman on the other end of the phone paused again, and then her voice became more formal: "Don't worry, Mrs. Mu has bodyguards with her, so nothing will happen. I have work to do, so excuse me."
After saying that, the call was hung up. Yu Xinggui stared at the phone for two seconds and called again, but it was turned off.
Wang Qiaoran stared at the phone for a while, then looked at Mu Shicang's back. She was a little nervous, but she kept telling herself: President Mu always puts work first and never allows personal matters to interfere with work. She is just fulfilling her responsibilities as an assistant. Even if... President Mu will not blame her, he won't.
…………………………
After the meeting, Mu Shicang and the owners' representatives walked out of the meeting room at the same time. This time, all the owners left with satisfied smiles, but the senior executives of the convenience store were all frowning.
Mu Shicang glanced at these people and smiled, "Does anyone have anything else to say?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally the oldest one stood up: "Boss Mu, this... this is different from what we agreed on before, this..."
"I'm talking to you about Mu Shilian, but Mu Shilian doesn't represent Muyuan Group. Do you understand what I mean?"
He smiled and glanced at everyone. He seemed gentle, but he had an unquestionable aura that made everyone shut up instantly.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore, he nodded in satisfaction and left the meeting room. Wang followed him quietly, debating whether to tell him about Yu Xinggui. At this moment, he said, "Go back and check all the accounts of this acquisition again. The compensation amount we received from the owners is obviously not in line with our initial estimate."
If the compensation amount was based on what they originally set, this wouldn't have happened. It's obvious that the person in charge deducted a lot of the money.
"Yes. Notify Cai and Guo immediately." As she said that, she picked up the phone.
Mu Shicang suddenly asked: "I saw you answer my call just now, who was it?"
Wang Qiaoran's hand holding the phone suddenly paused, and after a moment's thought, she said, "Mr. Yu just called to ask for you. You were at work at the time, so I told him to get back to him after your meeting."
Would Yu Xinggui take the initiative to call me?
Mu Shicang was stunned for a moment, then reached out his hand. Wang Qiaoran didn't dare hesitate and had to hand him the phone: "Mr. Yu's words were unclear just now, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
Mu Shicang didn't look at her. He picked up the phone and answered it. Unexpectedly, it only rang halfway before it was picked up. The person on the other end of the phone barely gave him a chance to speak: "Second brother, I just called Shushu, but the line was suddenly disconnected halfway through. I can't get through when I call again. My mother has locked me up at home and I can't go out. Go find her quickly."
This could be said to be the first time that Yu Xinggui spoke so fluently in front of him, and the reason was because of his wife, but he didn't have time to think about it now. He hung up the phone and quickly dialed another number.
The call was quickly connected, and he asked right away, "Where is Yang Shushu now?"
The person on the phone was silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Mu, I'm sorry. Mrs. Mu was on the bus at the time, and we were on the other side to avoid being seen, so we didn't have time to catch up, but...but we called you before and asked you to call Mrs. Mu to confirm the direction she was going, but your assistant said you were in a meeting..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Mu Shicang hung up the phone. Then he looked at Wang Qiaoran. Wang Qiaoran had already guessed who he was calling. Just as she was about to explain, she saw him glance at her coldly and turned around to answer the phone again.
This time, he called Yu Xinggui again. As soon as the call was connected, he asked, "Xiaogui, you just called her, and she didn't tell you where she was?"
"She said he was in a small alley with few people. Brother, nothing happened to Shushu, right? I saw the news. Maybe that woman wanted to take revenge on you and arrested her." Yu Xinggui was so anxious that he didn't care that his current attitude was really not like that of a younger brother.
Mu Shicang was in no mood to argue with him. He just shook his head and said, "Don't worry. It's possible that she discovered that a reporter was following her, so she tried to avoid him. She's not as weak as you think. Just stay home. Don't worry, I will find her."
As he spoke, he had already gotten into his car. Wang Qiaoran wanted to follow him in, but he just glanced at her coldly: "You go back first."
Wang Qiaoran took a step back in fear: "Boss Mu, I'm not..."
Mu Shicang smiled at this moment, and said tenderly: "You should pray hard now, she will be fine."
All that was left for Wang Qiaoran was the exhaust fumes from the roaring cars. She stood there in a daze, her face dull at first, then she slowly smiled bitterly, and finally the bitter smile turned into laughter.
When someone else appeared in the parking lot, she was once again cool and dignified, and walked past the person with a proud step.
Ten years of time, ten years of devotion, she will not allow anyone to take away this holy love that she has been guarding.
No one can do it!
