Chapter 41



Looking at the bustling and lively Casino No. 66, Qingru shrugged and shrank back.

"Sister Xiao, this... the Marshal will beat me to death if he knows about this."

Su Jinyu put her hand on her shoulder and said, "Come on, Sister Xiao will take you to see the world."

Walking among the crowd, her steps were light, as if she was walking on clouds.

He Lai recognized her at a glance and quickly went around the others to her side.

"Sister Su, are you here to have fun or to see the boss?"

The boss has said that if Miss Su comes, she must be treated well.

If you want to find the boss, just take him to the building directly without asking for instructions.

Su Jinyu pushed Qing Ruxiao forward and said, "Take her out to play. I'll go find your boss."

"I...I won't go, I won't go," Qingru pulled Sister xiao's arm, "The old man said that we can't touch this stuff..."

"It's okay to play, if you lose, it's my fault"

Seeing Qingru being dragged away, Su Jinyu felt as if she was playing a prank.

Mu Sheng's office is always gloomy and dark. Even with the lights on, it is still dim.

As soon as Su Jinyu entered the room, she opened the tightly closed curtains.

"Why don't you open the window? Isn't it stuffy?"

Looking at Mu Sheng lying on the sofa, smoking, his eyes and eyebrows were vaguely visible in the smoke.

Seeing her, his stern brows relaxed, he pinched out the cigarette butt with one hand, and waved his hand to disperse the smoke, "It's all smoke here, let's go talk somewhere else."

After a while, Mu Sheng took Su Jinyu to the room next to No. 66.

From the darkroom of No. 66, I went directly to No. 68.

No. 68 is a very ordinary courtyard house.

But it was empty, without a trace of human presence, and it didn't look like anyone lived there.

Su Jinyu looked around and asked, "Do you live here?"

Mu Sheng nodded, "I sleep here occasionally."

Go around the screen wall and come to the front yard. There are several pomegranate trees planted in the middle of the yard.

Su Jinyu came to the pomegranate tree and asked, "Mutou, did you move the pomegranate tree from my grandfather's yard here?"

"I don't dare to lay my hands on Master Wu's tree... This is newly planted."

His eyes fell on Su Jinyu's body, and Mu Sheng's fingers tapped lightly on the trunk of the pomegranate tree. The rhythm was light and casual, and each tap seemed to be playing a light tune.

"They really look exactly the same..."

Thinking of the pomegranate tree in her grandfather's house, Su Jinyu's eyes narrowed into crescents in an instant, with a lively light flashing in her eyes, just like a carefree girl in her youth.

"Does this pomegranate tree bear fruit?"

"Knot..."

"Is it big? Is it sweet?"

“Big and sweet”

Su Jinyu poked her head out from behind the tree and said playfully, "The pomegranates in Qianjiang are not sweet at all, don't fool me."

"I won't lie to you," Mu Sheng said in a black jacket, his slender eyes slightly raised, "When autumn comes, I'll invite you to pick pomegranates from the trees."

"good"

Su Jinyu nodded and looked at this completely changed childhood playmate again, "You really are a fool, right?"

"Still don't believe it?"

"I'm scared of being deceived..."

Mu Sheng's hands hung at his sides, clenched into fists, and then slowly relaxed.

He turned around and squatted in front of her. "Remember the scar on the back of my head?"

In the moonlight, Su Jinyu saw the crescent-shaped scar on the back of his head. She stretched out her hand and saw the scar slightly protruding under his short and thick hair, which looked smooth and fierce.

"That was when I was four years old. I couldn't get down from a pomegranate tree. You went to save me, but I pulled you down and you fell to the ground..."

With the flesh pad, she was fine, but Mu Tou's head hit the stone and left a huge scar.

The warm fingers touched the back of his head, hitting Mu Sheng like an electric current. He resisted the urge to dodge and remained motionless.

“Now you finally believe it.”

Su Jinyu hummed in a depressed tone.

"What's wrong with you?"

Mu Sheng squatted, turned around and met her eyes.

Looking into those eyes as dark as ink, Su Jinyu asked, "Why didn't you come to see me all these years?"

She has been in the Governor's Mansion all these years, and he has been in Qianjiang.

"Why?"

Mu Sheng lowered his eyes and said in a light tone, "With my status..."

Hearing this, Su Jinyu frowned, "Do you miss me so much? If I don't come to you, will you never come to me in this life?"

It has been verified in the previous life that he really will not come to find me.

She turned around and snorted, "You watched me grow up. Apart from Aunt Wu, you were the only one who accompanied me when I was young. You taught me how to walk, you pulled out my first baby tooth, and you taught me how to fight..."

"I have always treated you as my own brother, closer to me than my two half brothers who are always against me."

"Over the years, I have asked my grandfather about your situation, but he said you were working hard outside and refused to reveal any information."

"And you're clearly in Qianjiang, but you never come to see me... Do you... Do you think you're the boss?... Do you not want to recognize me anymore?"

The more Su Jinyu thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more aggrieved she felt.

In her previous life, she had no news about Mu Tou, and until her death, she didn't know that Mu Sheng was Mu Tou.

They have already missed one life and cannot miss this one.

"You... Sister Xiao, don't cry."

Mu Sheng's voice trembled slightly, and his words were full of self-blame, "It's my fault, it's not that I don't want to recognize you, I see that you are living a good life, 늀... I don't want to disturb you"

"I didn't know you had a hard time these years, and I didn't know Shen Jing'an would treat you like this..."

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch her but retracted it again, and sighed deeply, "Sister Xiao, don't cry..."

There was an unconscious pleading tone in his voice.

Su Jinyu sniffed.

She stared at him resentfully, "I'm not having a good time... In the Governor's Mansion, Zhang and her two children don't get along well. They keep an eye on me every day, afraid that I've gotten some benefits from my father, so they're trying to set traps for me, overtly or covertly."

"It would have been better if you had come to me earlier and helped me deal with them."

"Of course I will!" Mu Sheng nodded heavily, "I'll help you deal with Shen Jing'an..."

Su Jinyu wiped her tears and said with a sobbing tone, "Don't..."

"Kill him?" Mu Sheng suggested.

Su Jinyu widened her eyes. Seeing that he was serious and didn't seem to be joking, she narrowed her eyes in surprise.

He said slowly, "Killing him will drive Commander Shen crazy. Killing Commander Shen will make his soldiers uncontrollable..."

She looked at Mu Sheng and said, "But I came here today because I really need your help with something."

"You said..."

"The fight between Shen Jingan and I was so ugly, Master Shen must have made some moves. I'm not afraid of him fighting with my father openly, but I'm afraid he'll use some dirty tricks! The Shen family is not a good family, they may have been prepared to deal with my father a long time ago, but I have no evidence... I also found some clues in the Shen family and was following the clues, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"I have sent people to keep an eye on every member of the Shen family. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

"Are you ready already?"

"Um"

Mu Sheng had been silently watching her every move. "I heard that you had a fight with Shen Jingan...did he bully you?"

The news was too confusing and he couldn't be sure.

Su Jinyu didn't want him to worry, so she smiled and said, "I shot him, so I won't suffer any loss."

From what she said, she must have been bullied.

Mu Sheng pursed his lips, his cold and hard features made him look even more sinister, "He's looking for death!"

Su Jinyu stepped forward and rubbed his frowning brows, "Don't worry about him, I will take care of him... You help me watch him walk, don't do anything, the fox will always show its tail, once I catch him, I will peel off his fox skin and use it as a cushion to sit on."
