Chapter 83 (First Release)
Stable and unshakable.
It makes one wonder, is there really anyone who could sway this man?
The sunlight from outside fell on one side of his handsome face, gilding it with a layer of gold, yet making him appear even colder, more indifferent, and distant.
Ning Wanwan felt a little uneasy, hoping that the other party would agree, even if it was just saying "get lost".
“I’ll send someone to take you away from the amusement park.” Then, she heard the villain say that.
Ning Wanwan was stunned for a moment.
Jiang Yuyuan rationally suppressed the desire he couldn't understand, and his tone remained calm and even: "Given the current situation at the amusement park, you can't stay any longer."
Although calm, there was an undeniable strength to it.
Ning Wanwan: "..."
But she just wanted to leave the control room, not the amusement park! She hadn't finished what she was doing!
Why did they have to send someone to take her out of the amusement park? Was it because of the explosion?
"Thank you, but I don't need you to send someone to take me..." Her voice was still small and soft, lacking confidence but firm as she said, "I can leave by myself..."
Jiang Yuyuan looked at her calmly and uttered only two words: "No."
Jiang Yuyuan knew, of course, that the girl was hiding something or had some other purpose, but he didn't care much at the moment.
Let's get people out of the eastern district first.
Regardless of her motives, she was indeed just an ordinary person, and ordinary people cannot withstand the disaster that was about to happen here.
If Jiang Yuyuan wanted to kill her or detain her, Ning Wanwan could understand his intentions, but the fact that he insisted on sending her away was something Ning Wanwan truly couldn't understand.
Moreover, he had warned himself, as an ordinary person, not to come to the East District some time ago.
Why don't you want her to die here?
But as a ruthless villain, capable of destroying an entire city and claiming countless lives, would he really consider the life or death of an ordinary person like her?
Ning Wanwan didn't believe it; just thinking about the possibility made it seem absurd.
She could only attribute the reason to the villain keeping her around for some purpose that she herself was unclear about, although this reason was also rather weak.
In short, she couldn't fall into Jiang Yuyuan's rhythm; she had a real reason why she couldn't leave the amusement park.
Just as Ning Wanwan was racking her brains trying to figure out how to get rid of the villain, Jiang Yuyuan remained silent, seemingly waiting for her reaction. The two were locked in an awkward stalemate when a familiar voice, one that hadn't been heard long before, came from outside the door.
"President Jiang, you've finally arrived."
Upon hearing that light and casual voice, Ning Wanwan felt as if she could see those peach blossom eyes that were always smiling yet unfathomable.
Mu Xijue!
He mustn't see me!
Otherwise, Ning Wanwan couldn't imagine how complicated things would become if one villain was already so difficult to deal with, and then there was Mu Xijue, who loved to watch the drama unfold and was always stirring up trouble.
Mu Xijue might even encourage Jiang Yuyuan to cleanly "dispose" of himself.
Caught in the machinations of these villains, Ning Wanwan was powerless to resist, and she didn't hesitate to assume the worst of them and imagine the worst possible outcome.
“You…” Jiang Yuyuan also frowned slightly.
If we're talking about people who can make Jiang Yuyuan feel somewhat troubled, Mu Xijue is definitely on the list.
If Mu Xijue were to see an ordinary stranger appear here, there's a very high chance she'd cause some trouble.
It's best not to let Mu Xijue see Ning Wanwan.
Jiang Yuyuan made a decision quickly, only to find that Ning Wanwan was no longer standing in front of him.
He paused, lowered his gaze, and looked at the girl who was crawling back under the control panel.
Sensing the villain's gaze, a strange look in his eyes, Ning Wanwan, fearing his disapproval, tilted her head slightly and hesitantly explained, "You gave me a chance, but I'm afraid he won't..."
His words were vague, but Jiang Yuyuan understood.
"Can I hide here?" Ning Wanwan straightened her upper body slightly and asked softly.
Because of her posture, she could only look up at Jiang Yuyuan, her eyes moist and clear, pleading with him.
Because she was having trouble balancing, she instinctively almost reached out to put her hands on his legs, but she immediately pulled them back and carefully braced herself against the chair legs to steady herself.
And so, he hid in the cramped space under his desk.
They seemed to be completely under his control, both obedient and pitiful.
He didn't say anything, just watched the scene unfold.
It was as if I was directly and simply seduced by something.
Actually, Ning Wanwan didn't need to do this. He planned to use a special power on Ning Wanwan to conceal her existence.
But Ning Wanwan was even faster as she hid under the table.
Jiang Yuyuan could have brought Ning Wanwan out at this point, but his eyes darkened slightly, and he said nothing more.
“That’s it,” he said. “Hide it well.”
Ning Wanwan: "Okay..."
With the sound of the door opening, Mu Xijue must have walked in. Jiang Yuyuan raised his eyes and no longer looked down, but glanced at the doorway.
"Dr. Mu." His tone remained indifferent, and his face was expressionless.
Mu Xijue greeted him with a smile, her voice rising at the end as if she knew him well: "President Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang Yuyuan calmly replied, "If I remember correctly, we met just two weeks ago for our collaboration."
Mu Xijue smiled, not embarrassed at all, "President Jiang, it's just a polite way to get closer when we meet."
“There’s no need,” Jiang Yuyuan said.
Mu Xijue curled her lips into a smile: "I'm really curious when you'll be able to take off this mask of what you consider to be calm and rational."
Jiang Yuyuan: "That day will never come."
One was laughing while the other wasn't, but the conversation was getting increasingly heated.
"I thought President Jiang wouldn't come in person, but would just stand on the top floor of the Jiang Group building and watch the fireworks display from afar," Mu Xijue said with interest. "Jiang Yuyuan, why did you come?"
"And they even kicked the amusement park manager out. He's still waiting outside, and he's incredibly nervous."
Mu Xijue didn't believe that Jiang Yuyuan would stay in the control room, a place that was no longer so important, without any purpose.
Jiang Yuyuan's gaze lowered slightly for a moment, briefly touching the girl's eyes, which also held a hint of curiosity, before he looked up again as if nothing had happened.
“Some things I just have to see in person to feel at ease.” Jiang Yuyuan paused for a moment. “Besides, I’ve been lucky.”
Mu Xijue glanced at his perpetually rational face with some surprise, taken aback that he had suddenly brought up the topic of luck.
"It seems you've had an unexpected gain, Mr. Jiang," Dr. Mu replied quickly, teasingly.
Jiang Yuyuan surprisingly agreed: "I guess so."
"I am indeed a little curious about what this unexpected gain is." Mu Xijue's voice rose slightly at the end, as if she were genuinely asking, but it was only a little interest, not a serious one.
Jiang Yuyuan didn't say anything, glanced at the time, and asked directly, "Mu Xijue, what brings you here?"
Just as Mu Xijue could deduce that Jiang Yuyuan wouldn't linger here for no reason, and that Mu Xijue would come here to find him, Jiang Yuyuan believed that this was definitely not without purpose.
Smart people think a lot.
Because this meeting was unnecessary. Although everything planned hadn't happened yet, the dust had already settled, waiting only for it to explode.
Mu Xijue: "Alright, then I'll just say it directly, your younger brother is here too."
Jiang Yuyuan frowned almost imperceptibly: "Jiang Chengran."
"Yes, what do you think? Should we remind him to leave quickly?" Mu Xijue smiled.
Jiang Yuyuan remained as indifferent as ever, with only a slight deepening of the wrinkles between his brows. His voice revealed a coldness that was utterly inhuman: "If he can die here, then all the strength he improved before will have been wasted, and he will die somewhere else sooner or later."
Mu Xijue clapped his hands and said approvingly, "Truly worthy of being brothers."
"What?" Jiang Yuyuan asked back, as if Mu Xijue still had something to say.
As expected, Mu Xijue continued, "But even if you ask your brother to leave now, he probably won't. He's in a hurry to find someone right now."
"Who is it?"
“A girl.” Mu Xijue chuckled, adding fuel to the fire, “It seems she was on a romantic date with him today, but the girl disappeared halfway through.”
Jiang Yuyuan frowned even more, and after a long while, he chuckled, clearly referring to his foolish younger brother: "Useless."
It's unbelievable that I could be so blinded by such a trivial emotion as love.
"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Mu Xijue sighed dramatically, but the smile on her face gradually faded, revealing an indescribable, uncontrollable gloom.
"But unfortunately, the girl who went missing was one of my students."
"I've reminded her several times... If she's here, I'll be in a lot of trouble."
"If we catch them, we need to teach them a good lesson."
Ning Wanwan huddled under the control panel, unable to see Mu Xijue's expression, only able to hear his voice.
She assumed that Mu Xijue was unhappy that she had disobeyed him and come to the East District. After hearing that she was at the amusement park, he became suspicious of the inconsistency between her words and actions, wondering if she had discovered some secret, which was why he wanted to teach her a lesson.
At this moment, Ning Wanwan didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and her determination to not be discovered by Mu Xijue became even stronger.
Jiang Yuyuan: "I didn't know you were such a caring teacher."
He felt a strange sense of wonder, which was quite unusual.
It sounds like a joke that Mu Xijue would actually worry about the safety of a student.
After all, Dr. Mu was only interested in his experiments and research topics.
They would proactively approach him to collaborate, also for the sake of his research materials.
Perhaps that girl has some special ability, or maybe she's the next test subject Mu Xijue has his eye on. Jiang Yuyuan thought casually.
Being noticed by Mu Xijue might not necessarily be a good thing.
However, Jiang Yuyuan didn't think this matter had anything to do with him. It might be related to his younger brother, but he didn't intend to get involved.
"There's nothing I can do. I really like that student, but unfortunately she seems to have some misunderstandings about me and is always overly wary."
Mu Xijue shrugged and smiled tolerantly.
Gentle and warm, yet unpredictable.
"Although she refused to heed the teacher's earnest advice and even lied to the teacher, swearing that she wouldn't come, she still went on dates with boys..."
"But what can I do when I like this student so much?"
