Mu Jinguo said, "Go open the door!"
The nanny looked at Mu Jinguo with a puzzled expression, as if she hadn't misheard.
The doorbell rang, and she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out to open the door.
Her heart was in her throat. She was getting on in years; would she not live to see the end of her life?
She opened the large iron gate and stepped aside, watching Angus enter the villa with his bodyguards.
She followed him inside, feeling both scared and worried about her husband.
Angus walked into the living room and saw Mu Jinguo sitting in the main seat on the sofa.
Mu Jinguo sipped his tea leisurely, sitting calmly as if nothing had happened.
Angus sneered and said, "Mr. Mu, you're in quite the mood, enjoying tea at home?!"
Mu Jinguo said, "We just finished eating. We were having a cup of tea in the living room, enjoying the scenery. Life is like a fleeting moment! Do you understand what 'fleeting moment' means?"
Angus said, "I've heard people talk about it, but I don't really understand what it means. I just get the literal meaning."
"Time flies like an arrow" is a Zen-like saying, and its Zen meaning goes far beyond its surface.
Mu Jinguo raised his hand, gesturing for Angus to sit in the seat next to him.
Angus walked over and sat down casually, leaning back on the sofa. Although he was in the second seat, he acted like the master of the house.
Mu Jinguo said, "What brings Boss Angus here? You're not here to ask me about that girl, are you?"
He made his point clear: it was obvious even to a fool why the casino owner had come to him.
Angus chuckled and said, "I like people as open-minded as Boss Mu. He understands why I'm here without me having to say anything."
"I really did come to find that girl. She cheated at my casino and ruined my business. If I don't arrest her, I'll never be able to hold my head up in front of my colleagues again!"
Mu Jinguo said, "As far as I know, that girl didn't cheat. You checked the cards back then!"
Boss Angus, if you're going to run a casino, you have to accept the consequences. If someone wins money in your casino, you're expected to lead your men around arresting them.
"Will anyone dare to gamble at your house again? This reputation won't be good if it gets out!"
Angus said, "Whether she cheated or not, we'll only know after we bring her back. How can Boss Mu be so sure that she didn't cheat?"
Mu Jinguo said, "I was with her the whole day. I saw clearly how she gambled. She didn't cheat. I can vouch for her!"
Angus's smile grew colder and colder. He said, "Boss Mu, you're going to testify for her? You've got guts, I admire your courage!"
Mu Jinguo said, "When doing business outside, the most important thing is integrity!"
Even those in the casino business must uphold integrity! Don't you agree?!
Angos's face darkened. "Where is that brat?"
He asked Mu Jinguo, but then turned and gave his own people a wink.
His men immediately ran out of the living room and searched the entire villa from top to bottom.
Clearly, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Li Xiyue.
Angus's subordinate ran back to report, "Boss, we found two sets of cutlery on the restaurant table. There must have been two people eating just now."
Angus raised an eyebrow and looked at Mu Jinguo. "Boss Mu, do you need two sets of cutlery for a meal if you're eating alone?"
Mu Jinguo said, "Is there a problem with using one set of cutlery for one person and two sets of cutlery for two people?"
Angus Rick said coldly, "Two people eating?! But now it's just you alone? You were eating with that brat just now?"
Mu Jinguo said, "Boss Angus, what you're saying is a bit far-fetched. Do I have to have dinner with that girl? Can't I have dinner with my old housekeeper?"
The nanny, standing at the door, immediately nodded and said, "My husband was having dinner with me just now."
I've worked for the Mu family for so many years, and the boss has always been so good to me. He saw that I was getting older and allowed me to have dinner with him.
Angus never expected Mu Jinguo to answer like that, which immediately choked him up!
He said through gritted teeth, "What kind of rule is it to let the nanny eat at the table?"
Mu Jinguo said, "My family doesn't have that many rules! My old housekeeper has worked in my family her whole life, and she deserves to sit at the same table with me like a friend!"
This kind of relationship is probably beyond what Angus's boss could imagine. After all, in your eyes, there are only relationships of interest, not friendship. Don't you think so?
Angus gritted his teeth. How could a casino owner like him not be able to out-talk Mu Jinguo!
He snorted coldly and said, "Boss Mu, I advise you to hand over that girl, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning struck again, hitting Mu Jinguo's front yard.
The lightning's current was so powerful that it turned the entire courtyard ground black with a flame-like pattern.
Angus stared in disbelief at the lightning outside. If it weren't for the deafening thunder accompanying the lightning, he would have thought he was seeing an illusion!
But how could this be? Just as he was threatening Mu Jinguo, lightning struck down from the sky, as if to protect Mu Jinguo!
Mi Bao burst into laughter in the virtual space, "Hahaha, look at his expression! He looks like a big-eyed toad! His eyes are practically bulging out of his head!"
Li Xiyue looked at the big screen in the space and said with a smile, "He'll never understand why this lightning came at such a timely moment! Honey, give him another lightning bolt!"
Mibao immediately obeyed the order, and another bolt of lightning struck down!
This time, Angus couldn't sit still any longer. The lightning struck, making the glass windows rattle loudly, as if they were about to be shattered at any moment.
He hurriedly stood up and said, "Boss Mu is right. If that girl contacts you again, please send us a message!"
After he finished speaking, he strode out of Mu Jinguo's living room, left Mu Jinguo's house with his bodyguards, and got into his car.
His brow was furrowed into a knot; it was truly surreal.
How could there be lightning? Lightning striking on a sunny day? Could it get any more illogical?!
Just as he was starting to doubt his own existence, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting his car directly.
His car spun several times in an instant, the fuel tank caught fire, and flames shot out from under the hood.
Angus and his men tried to open the car door and escape, but he discovered that his car had been smashed and was deformed, so the door couldn't be opened...
