Chapter 56 The death escape flames outlined the shape of the wind, and he was like the wind...
Li Xin went out, the door was closed, and the room fell silent, with only the sunlight shining even brighter.
Su Jinmu leaned against the headboard, the sunlight falling on him, making him even more magnificent and radiant.
After a moment, she smiled slightly, her lips curving upwards.
The day has finally come.
Su Jinmu took a few deep breaths, her feelings a mix of emotions.
Relaxed, pleasant, and a little tense.
And a little bit of lingering affection for Li Xin.
A little bit.
Su Jinmu took a deep breath, a smile curving her face. She sat for a while to recover, and after Li Xin had walked away, she slowly got up to wash up.
My waist is incredibly soft.
Su Jinmu: "..."
This is the last time.
Su Jinmu smiled, took out her phone to check, quickly put on her clothes and went out.
He drove the Su family's car and soon arrived at the designated roadside. Seeing Feng Yixing, he got out of the car and waved.
"Jinmu!"
Feng Yixing's eyes lit up. "You're here."
Feng Yixing was delighted. "I originally wanted to invite you out to play, but I didn't expect it to be so hot today. It's only morning, and the sun is already so strong."
Su Jinmu smiled slightly, "So, are we still going to play now?"
Feng Yixing frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Forget it, it's too hot to go out. Let's find a place to sit down."
"Okay." Su Jinmu nodded in agreement and followed them into a dessert and ice cream shop, where she sat down.
The place Feng Yixing asked him to come to was very close to the Su family's residence, just a few minutes' drive away.
Su Jinmu had just sat down when her phone started ringing incessantly.
As soon as Li Xin got out of the car at his destination, his phone beeped with an alarm.
My nerves tensed up instantly, and I opened the location tracking app to check.
The young master is no longer with the Su family.
Judging from the distance and time, they must have driven there.
What is he going to do? Where is he going?!
Li Xin's scalp tingled, his ears rang, his heart pounded, and he quickly dialed the number.
"drop--"
The other party has hung up.
Not answering?
Not answering?!
Li Xin's breathing became heavier, and his murderous aura spread.
"Beep beep—"
A message pops up.
Feng Yixing asked me to come out, but I'll be back in a bit, don't worry.
Li Xin's breathing was a little labored. "The young master isn't answering my calls."
Su Jinmu: "..."
【video. 】
Su Jinmu took a short video and sent it over. The dessert shop was quiet and peaceful, and across from it was Feng Yixing, with food laid out on the table.
Su Jinmu casually sent her location.
Be good, I'll be back in a bit.
Li Xin stared intently, his fingers tightening, his thoughts in turmoil, his heart still pounding.
He glanced at the scene before him, deciding to finish quickly and return as soon as possible.
In the dessert shop, Su Jinmu put down his phone, and Feng Yixing grinned, her eyes widening as she leaned closer to him, "Jinmu, were you checked up on?"
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu smiled.
"What did you order?" He glanced at the table; he had just received a message on his phone from Feng Yixing ordering several desserts.
Feng Yixing pointed, "That's all."
Su Jinmu looked at the several delicate and exquisite desserts, then at the shop, thought for a moment, and looked up, "I remember, this place has a signature giant ice cream cup? Haven't you always wanted to try it?"
Feng Yixing's eyes lit up, then paused, pouting, "It's too big a cup, and the ice cream layers are hard to separate, we can't finish it at all."
Su Jinmu looked at him with a faint smile on her face, very easygoing, "It's hot today, let's order, I've been wanting to eat this for a while, it's rare for me to come here today."
Feng Yixing: "..."
Feng Yixing was shamefully persuaded, since he had already come all this way.
"Then let's..." Feng Yixing blinked at him, "Order?"
"point."
Su Jinmu nodded slightly, her smile light.
Feng Yixing looked at him and smiled, "Jinmu, you seem to be in a good mood today."
Su Jinmu: "..."
Su Jinmu raised the corners of her mouth.
The ice cream arrived quickly, and Li Xin kept sending messages, but the location showed that he stayed in the store and didn't move. He would reply to messages and send photos from time to time, so Li Xin behaved himself for the time being.
The number of messages has decreased, but they are still constant.
Su Jinmu put down her phone and looked at the giant ice cream in front of her. It was huge, with a bit of frosty white mist on the inside of the cup.
The ice cream is filled with colorful fruit pieces, layered on top of each other.
"Wow."
Feng Yixing exclaimed in admiration, chuckling happily, "It wasn't for nothing that I've been thinking about this for so long. I was just too reluctant to waste it."
"I'm going to try my best to finish it."
Su Jinmu smiled, took a bite, and the refreshing sweetness melted in her mouth, carrying the natural aroma of fruit juice.
It tastes great.
Having eaten most of the ice cream, Feng Yixing still couldn't finish it. Holding his bloated stomach, he sighed and said, "I can't eat anymore."
"But it's hot today, so eating ice cream is quite refreshing."
It was too hot, and Feng Yixing wasn't in the mood to play outside. Holding her stomach, she went back first, waving goodbye to Su Jinmu, "I'll come play again next time."
Su Jinmu didn't respond, but waved lightly, feeling a little relieved.
He glanced down at his phone; there were still messages. He replied a few times and then walked out.
Get on the bus and head in another direction.
Li Xin quickly realized that the location had changed again, and the direction was not towards the Su family.
They went somewhere else again.
Li Xin's eyes were dark and fixed on him, a chilling ferocity emanating from him.
Where is the young master going again?
With so much energy, he worked all night, barely slept, and was still running around everywhere.
There is still room for manpower.
Li Xin gave a sinister smirk, his entire being exuding a terrifying aura of malevolence.
He should do more, until the young master's legs go weak, until he can't stand up straight, falls down with every step, and his legs are sore and weak that he can only wait for him to carry him.
Li Xin gritted his teeth, a cold smile curving his lips, his whole body trembling with tension.
Keep an eye on the location.
The location gradually receded, eventually stopping at... Xu's house.
Xu family?
Li Xin frowned deeply. What was he going to the Xu family for now?
We agreed to go together when he gets back, so what is the young master going to do now?
Didn't you say there was pressure going to Xu's house?
What is he going to do?!
Li Xin's fingertips were taut and white, and his hand movements became even faster.
Su Jinmu stood in front of the door and knocked.
Xuyu quickly came out to open the door for him and led him inside.
Xu Sibai was also there. When he saw Su Jinmu, he smiled apologetically.
"Jinmu, I'm sorry for calling you over so suddenly."
I had the DNA tested again, and the results came back negative. The DNA information in the hair was consistent with the previous test, indicating that it belonged to the same person.
Xu Sibai felt very guilty, embarrassed, and a little down. He wanted to invite Su Jinmu over, but was afraid that Su Jinmu wouldn't want to come.
Take this opportunity to call people over.
"Your Aunt Su Han is sick."
Xu Sibai pursed his lips slightly, "It was also an accident. I fell asleep with the air conditioning on and caught a cold with a slight fever."
Su Jinmu pursed her lips. "When did this happen? Are you feeling better?"
"The fever broke last night, but the cold hasn't gotten better, and she's still sleeping right now."
Xu Sibai smiled and said to Su Jinmu, "I don't know what she was dreaming about. She was calling out 'Mumu' in her sleep. At first, I thought your Aunt Su Han was calling out to her little brother Yuyu."
"Later I heard that her name was Jinmu."
"That's why I called you over."
Su Jinmu's heart skipped a beat, her fingertips curled slightly, her long eyelashes drooped, obscuring the light in her eyes, and her voice was quite soft.
"Can I go take a look?"
“Of course, of course you can.” Xu Sibai smiled and led him into the bedroom.
In the room, Su Han lay on the bed with her eyes closed, as if having a nightmare. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she was not sleeping soundly.
His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless, making him look listless.
Su Jinmu pursed her lips slightly.
He didn't stand too close, nor did he make any noise, but miraculously, Su Han seemed to sense it and woke up as soon as she opened her eyes.
He vaguely saw Su Jinmu, his vision was a little blurry, he pinched his brow and sat up, still not quite awake.
"Mumu?"
...Mumu?
Su Jinmu stood still.
Su Han regained her senses, looked closely, and a hint of surprise appeared on her pale face.
"Jinmu, it's been so long since you've come."
Su Han sat up with a smile, "Come here and let Auntie take a look."
Su Jinmu stepped forward, crouched down beside the bed, and looked at her gently, "Professor Su, are you feeling better?"
Su Han looked at him, and although his tone was concerned and very ordinary, her heart inexplicably skipped a few beats.
A dull, aching pain.
I can't explain why.
I was just a little flustered, like the emotions from my dream had carried over.
Su Han gently patted his head, her movements were very gentle, and her voice was soft.
"I'm much better now, it was just a dream."
She saw Mumu, who was only five years old and very small, carrying her on her back as they walked forward.
No matter how much she called, she wouldn't stop.
After a long, long time, finally, the little child turned around.
But in an instant, its appearance changed; it grew taller and thinner, becoming a slender figure.
Turn around.
It looks like Jin Mu!
Then in the blink of an eye.
He turned back and then left.
This time, no matter how much she shouted, it didn't stop.
Until that figure disappeared from her sight.
A white mist filled the air, and they could no longer be seen.
Terrified in the dream, Su Han took a few deep breaths, patted his head, and slowly told him about the dream, "It must be because you haven't been here for too long, Auntie missed you."
Su Jinmu dug her fingertips into her palm, gave a slight smile, but felt a little stifled inside.
Xu Yu and Xu Sibai remained silent, glancing at Su Jinmu and pondering the two DNA results, unsure how to react.
Xu Yu glanced between Su Han's fingers to see if any strands of hair had come down.
But it seems not.
Su Han smiled gently, looking Su Jinmu up and down, her eyes crinkling as she said, "I suddenly realized that your name is similar to Mu Mu's, and you're about the same age too."
"But Mumu is a year younger than you."
Su Jinmu paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Yes, his current birthday is wrong.
He's younger than he is now, but we don't know his exact birthday. So... maybe Li Xin isn't even a year younger than him?
"Just a dream."
Su Jinmu smiled and said softly, "Don't think too much, just take good care of yourself."
Su Han was amused by his overly serious tone and touched his ear, "I just got it from the air conditioning, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep, why bother taking care of it?"
"But you," Su Han pinched his cheek, "at such a young age, don't think so much, cheer up."
The slightly warm fingertips touched her face, a cozy warmth that almost sent shivers down her spine. Su Jinmu's heart clenched, a dull ache spreading through her chest, but she managed a smile and nodded.
"good."
He will be happy.
I also hope that Professor Su, Xuyu, and Mr. Xu can be happy.
Su Jinmu paused for a moment before leaving. After exiting the door, she didn't rush to leave but stood a little distance away, looking towards the entrance.
Not long after.
The door was hurriedly pushed open, and the three members of the Xu family, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces, quickly got into the car.
In such a hurry, I didn't take anything with me except my ID card, and quickly drove to the airport.
Su Jinmu smiled and slowly got into the car.
alright.
It's almost over.
Su Jinmu closed her eyes, took a deep breath, started the car, and drove back.
Back to... the Su family.
As soon as Su Jinmu's position changed, Li Xin noticed it quickly and sent messages one after another.
"Young Master, I've finished dealing with this. Wait for me at the Xu family's residence. Don't leave."
Su Jinmu's car had already driven off towards the Su family home. "Professor Su is sick. Let's go tomorrow, or if you want to go this afternoon, you can go back to the Su family home first and discuss it."
Don't rush things.
Looking at Su Jinmu's location, Li Xin saw that she was indeed moving towards the Su family. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling tense.
It doesn't matter if it's this afternoon or tomorrow.
The most important thing now is to keep the young master close at hand and not let him stray even for a moment.
It would be good to go back to the Su family first.
Li Xin got into the car and quickly headed towards the Su family's residence, his eyes constantly fixed on his phone's location, keeping a close eye on Su Jinmu's movements.
A strange sense of anxiety and unease crept into my heart.
It would be great if this location service included video monitoring; I could see the young master as soon as I turned it on.
Or you could just listen to the sound.
Li Xin's heart was uneasy, his nerves were pounding, and a savage possessiveness surged up, completely engulfing him.
An eerie tension.
The renaming of the business is over, his identity has been revealed, and the news should already be spreading within his circle.
Young master...do you understand?
Do you feel like you're being kept in the dark?
Did he already know this in his premonition?
Whether you know it or not, it doesn't matter.
Whether the young master is angry or not, he will hold on tight and keep the young master trapped in his palm.
You are not allowed to go anywhere.
Li Xin gripped the steering wheel tightly, his long knuckles clenched, and he accelerated, speeding towards the Su family's house.
The young master was going in a different direction, and Li Xin couldn't help but send a message urging him on.
Young master, hurry, hurry back!
【be safe. 】
But hurry up.
I want to see you.
Su Jinmu: [...It's almost done.]
Li Xin: [Faster.]
Get in front of him quickly.
He couldn't wait even a second longer.
Li Xin's lips tightened in horror, turning a scarlet smile, his desire palpable.
The news of the business renaming has spread, and the Li family has been torn apart. The one who did it was actually Li Cunru's own son.
A man who had survived assassination attempts, poisoning, and arson attempts now lives under an assumed name as a servant in someone else's home.
He sought revenge, so he used ruthless methods, each strike deadly, tearing the entire Li family apart.
But no one is paying attention to the entanglement between Li Xin and the Li family anymore.
Li Xin's attitude was clear: he disliked the Li family, so other family businesses naturally wouldn't dare to mess with him.
The political landscape of Jingzhou is about to change.
All they can do, all they have to do, is to seriously consider how to deal with this person behind the scenes.
Respectful, obsequious, and keeping a respectful distance.
In short, we cannot be hostile; we must not be hostile.
The Su family naturally learned of the news as well, and Mr. and Mrs. Su were on their way back as fast as they could, unable to contain their joy and excitement.
Li Xin, it was actually Li Xin.
P attacked the Li family, P won, and P became interested in Xiao Mu.
And now they're telling him that P is Li Xin.
Li Xin, who always hung out with Xiao Mu, eating and living together, and was very close to her.
Haha, hahaha.
Su's father couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Mu is such a good child. He has won over the Xu family and Li Xin, the two biggest backers in Jingzhou, with his own hands.
The joy on Su's father's face was almost overflowing.
It was almost noon.
The sunlight was intense.
The world is like a giant furnace, where even the air is distorted.
Su Jinmu returned to the Su family home and went up to the third floor to do a final check.
The clothes and items in the wardrobe were left for Li Xin.
The bank cards in the drawer are here; return them to Mr. and Mrs. Su.
He went into the bathroom again to take a look, and then glanced at the bed and the corner of the floor.
Look around at each place one by one.
Make sure nothing is missed.
I breathed a sigh of relief, went downstairs, and walked outside step by step.
The sun shone brightly, and the plants in the open-air garden held their heads high, full of vitality and thriving.
Su Jinmu raised her hand and touched the leaf very gently, a smile appearing on her face.
Then we went into the glass conservatory.
The greenhouse was stuffy, and the heat was even worse.
The flowers and plants inside were also thriving. Su Jinmu touched them and felt a little relieved.
finally.
finally……
At this moment.
A breeze blew in, gently caressing his hair, a fleeting, delicate touch that vanished into the distance.
"drop--"
Young Master, you've arrived. Wait for me.
Don't move, don't go anywhere, just stay where you are and wait for me.
Young Master!
The phone call and the message came in at the same time.
Su Jinmu glanced at it but didn't reply.
Li Xin arrived very quickly, almost in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the Li family's gate, got out of the car and quickly went inside.
A quick glance forward, through the crystal-clear glass wall, instantly and precisely locked onto the young master inside.
The sun is higher and hotter.
The glass greenhouse reflects shimmering light, crystal clear and beautiful, like being in a fairyland.
Su's parents followed closely behind and rushed up to talk to Li Xin.
Li Xin couldn't hear him and strode towards the glass greenhouse.
He's finally back, finally seeing his young master.
She was perfectly fine, right there in front of him, neither disappearing nor going away.
He returned safely to a place within his reach.
The two people met eyes through the glass.
Li Xin suddenly smiled, moved closer rapidly, clingy and eager, almost frantic.
Young master.
Young master.
Go back to him, don't go anywhere else.
I've walked this short road so many times, yet I still haven't arrived.
Li Xin felt anxious. He looked into Su Jinmu's beautiful, shimmering eyes in the greenhouse and felt inexplicably eager. He approached her and spoke.
"Does the young master blame me for keeping it from you?"
"It wasn't safe before, so I didn't say anything. Young Master, please don't be angry with me."
“Now that it’s safe, I can…be a little less clingy.”
Li Xin moved forward quickly.
Su Jinmu watched him for a while in the greenhouse, and smiled, though her voice was somewhat muffled due to the distance and the glass wall between them.
Actually, I couldn't hear it very clearly.
But he could see the lip movements.
A slight smile appeared on her face, light and radiant.
Strange? What's so strange about it?
Li Xin hadn't done anything wrong; he was just too clingy, and he didn't want to enter into any more intimate relationships.
All he wanted was freedom.
Su Jinmu chuckled softly, put down the shovel used to fertilize the flowers, and caught a whiff of a familiar fertilizer scent.
Seeing his movements, Li Xin thought he was about to come out, and the corners of his mouth widened as he moved closer even faster.
His gaze was fixed, unblinking.
It was already noon.
Inside the glass conservatory, the young master stood calmly, surrounded by dazzling beams of light, bright and radiant.
He stood inside, his shimmering eyes captivating and alluring, breathtakingly beautiful, with an unparalleled allure, as if he were a celestial being riding the wind.
Raise a smile.
"puff!"
Fire breaks out.
The concentrated sunlight and high temperature ignited the fertilizer, which surged and rose around the greenhouse and around Su Jinmu, instantly bursting into flames.
A gust of air was rushing in from the ventilation opening.
Su Jinmu stood up and looked up.
The flames outlined the shape of the wind, and he was as free as the wind.
With a "whoosh".
The glass wall automatically turned black, blocking everyone's view.
When Li Xin saw the fire, his mind seemed to go blank. He rushed forward in a daze and yanked hard on the door.
But the glass door was locked.
I can't open it no matter what I do.
……fire.
Young master.
Young master.
Li Xin's nerves twitched in waves, his pupils constricted, and his whole body trembled with tension, exuding a chilling horror.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Su's parents, "The key!"
Mr. Su was shocked and alarmed, “This is the new renovation that Xiao Mu did herself, we don’t have the key.”
There is no key.
There is no key.
The young master is inside.
In the fire.
Li Xin's murderous aura spread out continuously, along with a sense of horrified fear. He looked around but didn't see any sharp weapons. He clenched his fist and punched it.
Blood immediately slid down the glass, a vivid crimson, but the glass wall remained completely still.
Li Xin seemed to be going crazy, "Call the fire department, get the tools, hurry up!"
Su's parents sprang into action instantly, and Li Xin grabbed the hammer and smashed it heavily against the glass wall.
The thumping sound was like his heartbeat, rapid and heavy.
"Young Master?"
He spoke into the room.
But there was no sound of Su Jinmu's shouts, no movement at all, only the crackling sound of the raging flames.
"Bang!"
A sudden sound!
The explosion shook the glass wall.
……explode?
……fertilizer! !
Li Xin was terrified, his nerves were being stretched taut, as if they were going to tear him apart alive.
Why can't I hear Su Jinmu's voice?!
"Young Master?! Young Master!"
"Su Jinmu!!"
The glass wall is stubborn; I don't know what kind of explosion-proof material it's made of, but it's incredibly sturdy. The blackened glass was originally intended to prevent excessive sunlight and help cool the greenhouse.
But now they've become accomplices in obstructing the view.
He couldn't see his young master.
The pointed hammer pounded on the glass, impatient, anxious, and restless, again and again, for an unknown amount of time.
One minute, one hour.
"Splash!"
The glass finally shattered and a hole appeared.
"……Bang!!"
The fertilizer caught fire, surging and exploding violently.
Li Xin rushed in suddenly, the flames burning his skin, bringing an astonishing burning pain, a sharp pain in his brain, and his nerves being tightly stretched.
He is afraid of fire.
Could you please stop burning it?
Li Xin rushed in without the slightest hesitation.
Inside, flames surged, thick smoke billowed, and explosions echoed everywhere. The Su family members quickly grabbed water hoses and guns to extinguish the fire.
Li Xinding was at the forefront, searching anxiously.
"Young Master."
"Su Jinmu!"
No, no response, no shouts.
There was no one standing there.
The air was thick with smoke after the explosion, making everything murky.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the area where the most fertilizer was piled up exploded, creating a shockwave that, mixed with flames and black smoke, threw Li Xin directly out.
He went further inside.
After an unknown amount of time, water was poured on it, and the fire gradually went out.
The greenhouse was filled with the lingering smell of gunpowder; the plants were charred, and the soil was covered with black ash.
In the corner.
A huddled, dark-skinned human figure came into view.
He hugged his knees, curled up in a ball, and wore a charred metal bracelet on his equally dark arm.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, his gaze was somewhat blank, his pupils shrank, but his eyes widened, almost as if they were about to burst.
I absentmindedly looked away.
Who is this?
This is not his young master.
Was he pushing him too hard, urging him to come back, urging him not to move?
He wanted to trap the young master, to confine him tightly, to kill him in his palm.
The young master is probably angry and has hidden himself away.
Li Xin staggered down to his knees, looked around blankly, and then dug up the scorched earth with his bare hands.
