Double emotional load
Mu Qingyan was helping someone with a crutch without saying anything. The young man didn't feel embarrassed at all, but kept chattering away, complaining that he didn't have the means to go to the amusement park when he was a kid, so he came here to reminisce. His tone was so pitiful.
"...By the way, sister, we are so destined to be together, why don't we add each other's contact information! What's your name, Ming--"
"No."
The boy was categorically rejected, frowning, his eyes drooping in frustration.
"I'm not a bad person—"
“Squeaky!!!!”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp brake sound.
Mu Qingyan was just wondering, when the next second, her waist was suddenly grabbed. Before she could be surprised, the person next to her slid skillfully and changed their positions very quickly.
There was a strong light shining from behind, but at such a close distance, she could only see the outline of a tall and firm figure.
And those beautiful eyes that seem to be filled with smiles.
"Thank you very much."
Dust flew up, Mu Qingyan shifted his gaze uncomfortably, and then pushed the person away without leaving a trace.
Soon, two car horns were heard, and the bright light soon dissipated.
There was a red sports car parked in front of him, and a man in a neat suit was getting out of the automatically opened door.
She didn't know much about cars, but judging from the cool shape and color scheme, it should be a brand starting with F.
To change the subject, she jokingly said:
"Is this what you mean... your family is poor and you can't go to the amusement park?"
——It’s obvious that the driver’s tie is enough for an ordinary person to go to the amusement park for a year.
“Ah…I…”
The boy scratched his head and started to make excuses frantically, which made Mu Qingyan want to laugh.
It seemed like she hadn't experienced the feeling of laughing out of happiness for a long time.
After sending the person to the car, Mu Qingyan turned around to leave but was stopped again.
The boy scratched the car door with his fingers, and seemed to be struggling for a long time before saying:
"Sister, where do you live? Do you want to get in the car? I'll take you home..."
…
Mu Qingyan was very grateful for the young man's kindness, but declined politely.
She walked over to the old carousel and pressed its ear.
The wooden horse then turned open, revealing a narrow door. Inside was a staircase leading to an unknown destination. From shallow to deep, the inside became more and more spacious.
However, she didn't know whether it was because of the low air pressure due to the rain or because she hadn't eaten for a long time, but she just felt her lungs were blocked and her heart seemed to hurt.
In the darkness, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to her knees, holding her chest.
She didn't know how long it had been before she heard regular footsteps in front of her. Before she could react, her body felt lighter and she was picked up.
My cheek was pressed against the familiar yet unfamiliar soft metal, and I heard a question in my ear with a hint of worry:
"Are you hurt?"
The originally tense body finally relaxed. Mu Qingyan raised his arms and wrapped them around the neck that was so close to him, buried himself in the not-so-warm embrace, and shook his head gently.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. K, turn on the wall lamp, brightness, 20%."
Even though he had a splitting headache, Mu Qingyan still heard the subtle change of emotion in these words.
The surroundings began to light up one after another, and she slowly opened her eyes. As expected, it was not glaring.
As far as the eye could see, the neck skin, which should have been smooth, now had a sudden tear at the chin, revealing the bundled wires hidden underneath.
The fingertips moved slightly, gently stroking the nano-protective layer on the outer edge.
"How did it happen..."
Mu Qingyan felt that his strength was not great, but it seemed that he still rubbed the soft core inside. The body that his palm touched seemed to be stimulated by the pulse signal that was transmitted in all directions, and the whole body trembled slightly.
"Kins?"
He paused for a moment, then continued.
The person whose name was called lowered his head, and his handsome face moved closer:
"It's nothing. I was a little anxious when I got out of the charging bay just now, so I fell down."
…
"Master, Miss Ye is not very happy."
At the Yan family manor, the housekeeper approached the main house and served calming tea to the owner who was sitting on the sofa with his forehead propped up in thought.
Yan Chi didn't answer.
Just now in the car, Wan Ning told him happily that she would stay in the country, in S City.
It would be nice to see her from time to time, he wanted it more than anything. Even if his father would object, this time, he would definitely protect her well.
Everything was harmonious until he was about to send Wan Ning home.
"Achi, I didn't tell my parents that I came back this time... It's too late now, I don't want to disturb their rest, so you..."
Yan Chi could see how embarrassed the girl was, and he naturally knew that Wan Ning wanted to come back with him.
But even he himself didn't know why, he just made up an excuse and told the driver to drive the car to the Yan family's house in Xi Mansion.
After thinking about it over and over again, I still couldn't figure out what was going on with Wan Ning, and my thoughts kept wandering to another woman who was away from home for no reason.
It happened too many times for him to ignore.
"Mu Qingyan... can actually speak Spanish..."
——He thought of her again...
"What did you say?"
"Uncle Chen, you've been to many places, but do you understand this language?"
The butler felt indescribable discomfort as he looked at the young master holding the tea bowl with a helpless yet interested look on his face.
Yan Chi was indeed a bit desperate, his brain was out of control, and he asked this question naturally.
Not only this one, but also why is Mu Qingyan so proficient in AI operation when he is just an ordinary operator?
Why, I met such a strange person...
Also, he and his father always thought that although the woman didn't talk much, she had a very good temper.
I didn't expect that she would actually speak to him in such an irritable and arrogant tone...
And at the airport, when she opened her eyes, she looked like she was about to cry...
Thinking of this, Yan Chi, who was originally smiling, gradually turned cold.
The butler guessed his master's mood and said:
"You flatter me. Miss Mu is knowledgeable and talented, and she has won the trust of the master and all the shareholders in the group. I can't compare to her."
"Yes, that's why my father tried so hard to force her on me as a wife..."
"Master, this is also for your own good..."
"Bang——" The sound of a cup hitting the table.
Yan Chi said angrily: "What do you mean by 'for my own good'? It's just because the Yan family is forcing me!"
"Master, please forgive me, but if you don't want to marry Miss Mu, just say it directly. Miss Mu will surely have a way to help you out of this predicament."
"she--"
Yan Chi was about to refute, but suddenly he didn't know what reason to find.
Judging from Mu Qingyan's behavior today, she seems...
Feeling annoyed for no reason, he pulled his tie and threw it to the housekeeper, then stood up and walked upstairs, saying:
"Uncle Chen, call Mu Qingyan and ask her to come back immediately."
——Ah…this…
The housekeeper was somewhat helpless, but still did not dare to disobey verbally:
“…Yes…I’ll go right away…”
…
It was almost late at night. Mu Qingyan stood outside the charging cabin for a while. After confirming that everything was correct, he returned to the core control area of the laboratory.
"K, pull up Kins's latest monitoring data for me to take a look."
Before he finished speaking, several complex diagrams appeared in front of him.
"Hmm? Has the daily maintenance time been shortened so much?"
An inorganic male voice sounded:
"Yes, Boss. Mr. Kins's body is slowly recovering and he doesn't need to be offline for a long time."
This is undoubtedly good news. Perhaps, after some time, he will be able to live like before instead of sleeping all day long.
His mood suddenly improved a lot. After Mu Qingyan skillfully snapped his fingers twice, the lights became brighter and various devices started to operate, each performing their own functions.
Video materials, charts, data links, etc. appeared layer by layer on screens large and small, as if any slight change could not escape her eyes.
She took over and continued to install surveillance systems in major areas of S City while strengthening the signal shielding system around the entire amusement park.
Suddenly, a surveillance video from the central stadium caught her attention.
The video was filled with noisy and chaotic voices. It turned out that an artist accidentally fell down while singing on a wire.
Although it didn't look too high, the other party still didn't stand up for a long time.
The whole place was filled with screams from boys and girls. Mu Qingyan clearly heard a rough male voice crying out:
"Brother!!! - Are you okay? Someone, please help our brother!!!"
The next video takes us backstage at the concert.
The injured man was being helped down by the staff. His right leg was twisted in a strange posture, obviously broken.
But he is not like other young handsome guys who would fight to the death if they got a little scratch.
Even though blood kept dripping from the corners of his nose and mouth, the man just pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and endured it.
The bright red color touched Mu Qingyan's visual nerves, making her vision blurry for a moment, but fortunately she held on to the table in time.
"K, when did this happen?"
"Two weeks ago. It's been trending for quite some time, and was only removed tonight."
"Is there a follow-up?"
"You've predicted this perfectly. Mr. Kinsley announced this afternoon that he would be taking a six-month break. He also forcibly terminated all contracts with the studio and paid all liquidated damages. He was originally facing a lawsuit, but with OW Entertainment intervening, the matter has been dropped."
Mu Qingyan paused:
"OW Company... is it his company?"
"That's not the case. OW is part of the Bedford International Group, but according to the information, Mr. Kinsley is Chinese, his parents are both orphaned, and he has no blood relationship with Lawrence Bedford, the current president of BI."
"Oh, maybe he was adopted..." Mu Qingyan didn't even raise her head.
"Your guess is not without reason. The Shen company you're collaborating with is also part of the BI Group. Their head, Shen You, is Lawrence Bedford's adopted son. Mr. Kinsley also posted his surname on the studio's official website."
"Turn it out and let me see."
"Yes, searching—Boss, there's an incoming call. Do you want to answer it now?"
——Who could it be at this hour?
Mu Qingyan casually glanced at the screen beside him.
The number belonging to the main residence of the Yan family suddenly appeared. Mu Qingyan made an irritable "tsk" sound, snapped his fingers a few times to turn off several devices and lights, and then picked up the blanket draped over the chair.
"I'm going to sleep. Please continue to update what needs to be updated. Also, please back up the files on my phone."
"Yes, boss."
…
Late at night, in the underground laboratory of the abandoned amusement park, only two machines were still operating.
K quickly browsed the files in the owner's mobile phone and unexpectedly found a strange number.
As a senior executive in the company, my boss does save a lot of new contacts every day, but this one alone cannot match any domestic number it can draw.
——This number only has 10 digits.
It wasn't a typo, as it successfully completed the one-minute call.
Several secret codes suddenly flowed through, and K could only encrypt and store the number along with the owner's name.
It naturally noticed the name with complicated strokes:
Qi Yin.
