Chapter 585 Leaving without saying goodbye
The lights of G City were just beginning to come on, and the moonlight was brilliant. In the courtyard of Jinyang Villa, a white Volkswagen CC slowly drove into the yard and parked steadily in its parking space.
His movements were clean and neat, and he skillfully pulled the handbrake. With a "click", the handbrake was engaged, announcing the end of the journey.
Then, he gently pushed open the driver's door and swiftly got out of the car. Meanwhile, Mu Huiying carefully got out of the passenger seat, carrying a bag full of fruits and vegetables.
Her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety, and she muttered, "Oh, I came back late today. I don't know what Choubao had for lunch. Is he starving now?"
Her tone was full of concern and love for her grandson, as if his food and clothing were her top priority at the moment.
Dean Guo walked to the door of the villa, stretched out his finger, and skillfully pressed it lightly on the fingerprint reader.
With a "ding" sound, the door lock opened. He pushed the door open and walked into the house with a loving look on his face. His steps unconsciously moved towards the kitchen, as if he was ready to make a sumptuous dinner for his grandson.
Mu Huiying followed closely behind, and as she walked towards the kitchen, she raised her voice and shouted, "Stinky treasure, stinky treasure?
Grandma is back. I'll make your favorite cola chicken wings for you later, okay? " Her voice echoed in the spacious villa, full of the warmth and kindness of home.
Just as she placed the vegetables on the kitchen counter, Mu Huiying's WeChat ringtone rang crisply.
She quickly took out her phone from her pocket and saw the image of Chou Bao flashing on the screen. She couldn't help but scold:
"Hey, are the people upstairs and downstairs still video chatting?" As she said that, she gently slid the screen and answered the video call.
The moment the video was connected, Mu Huiying's eyes suddenly froze, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of surprise.
She stared at the old lady and Jiang Shuo who appeared on the screen together. Her lips trembled slightly, and her face turned pale as paper. She stammered and couldn't even finish a sentence: "Stinky treasure, you...you are..."
Dean Guo heard Mu Huiying's unusual voice and hurried over. Seeing the video, he frowned slightly and asked with concern, "Choubao, when did you... go back to Kuncheng?"
On the other end of the video, Jiang Shuo had a guilty look on his face, a hint of uneasiness in his eyes, and said softly, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm sorry, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye.
I'm home now, don't worry!" His voice was apologetic, as if he realized that his behavior had made his grandparents worried.
Song Shijie stood up and walked slowly towards the camera with steady steps.
He looked calm, his eyes soothing as he said, "Choubao's grandma, Lao Guo, the child has arrived home safely, you two don't have to worry about it!"
Hearing this, Mu Huiying's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her voice was filled with a hint of anger and worry: "This child is too brave, how could he leave without saying a word!"
At this time, Jiang Shuo in the video hurriedly explained: "Grandma, I left a note on the coffee table.
This time I wasn't alone. I called Guan Shan and Yan Kai and asked them to come back with me and my little daddy."
Dean Guo frowned slightly, his tone full of resentment and self-blame: "I shouldn't have let you and little daddy stay at home alone.
It's all my fault for being confused for a moment. I should have taken you both to the Red Star Welfare Home this morning. It seems you've forgotten the pain from last time!"
The old lady at the side hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Old Guo, don't be angry, Chou Bao knows he was wrong. Besides, didn't he hire two bodyguards this time? It's not a completely impulsive act!"
As Mu Huiying and Dean Guo were talking, they walked to the coffee table in the living room and saw the note.
They picked up the note, read it carefully, and then sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, as long as everyone gets home safely, that's all!"
Jiang Shuo said a little embarrassedly, "Goodbye, Grandpa and Grandma!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw on the video screen that the other party hung up the call first.
Song Shijie looked at Jiang Shuo solemnly and said earnestly, "Let's eat! Before you act in the future, you must think carefully and twice before you act."
Jiang Shuo hung his head like a child who had made a mistake and replied in a low voice: "Oh, I see." After that, he slowly left his seat and walked upstairs with slightly heavy steps.
Arriving at the bedroom door, Jiang Shuo saw Guan Shan and Yan Kai quietly standing there. He said softly, "Let's go to the restaurant for dinner!"
Guan Shan and Yan Kai looked at each other, with a hint of hesitation and embarrassment in their eyes.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuo hurriedly comforted them, "Go ahead, the old lady and grandpa are very easy-going, and my dad and I will be there soon." After hearing this, the two nodded slightly, then turned and left the door.
Jiang Shuo gently grasped the doorknob and slowly pushed it open. Inside the room, a warm yellow light shone softly, and he saw that his little dad had changed into loose and comfortable pajamas and was lying quietly on the bed.
Mu Xiaoji was concentrating on taking the essence and carefully applying it to Jiang Chengyu's cheek. His movements were gentle and focused, as if he was protecting a rare treasure.
Jiang Shuo walked steadily towards Mu Xiaoji, but Mu Xiaoji seemed immersed in his own actions, without turning his head or speaking.
Jiang Shuo had no choice but to slowly turn around, carefully take off his pants, stick out his little butt, and said with a hint of grievance and admitting his mistake: "Dad, I know I was wrong, please hit me!"
When Mu Xiaoji heard this, he stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at Jiang Shuo, his eyes full of heartache.
He stretched out his hand and gently helped Jiang Shuo pull up his pants, then picked him up and hugged him tightly in his arms.
With a slightly choked voice, he said, "Son, can you please not be like your little daddy, always so considerate, well-behaved and sensible?
Do you know how much your father's heart aches when you are like this?" Mu Xiaoji's eyes turned red and tears flowed out of his eyes involuntarily.
He gently kissed Jiang Shuo's little forehead, as if to convey all his love and pity to him.
Jiang Shuo sensed his father's emotions, stretched out his chubby little hands, and gently wiped Mu Xiaoji's tears. There was a hint of determination in his childish voice:
"Dad, are you okay? I watched the Kuncheng morning news this morning. On the overpass, a taxi suddenly rushed towards your position, and was then forced into the sea by a cool black sports car."
After hearing this, Mu Xiaoji's eyes instantly became sharp. He stared at Jiang Shuo and asked seriously, "Are you saying that the car accident on the overpass was aimed at me?"
Jiang Shuo was in his father's arms, looking into his eyes closely. He blinked his big watery eyes, nodded vigorously, and replied softly, "Yeah."
Mu Xiaoji's expression became more serious, and he asked nervously, "Who did you tell about this?"
Jiang Shuo said in a childish yet firm voice: "No, I discovered it myself.
So I promised my little daddy that I would protect you for him. At that time, I couldn't think of anything else, so I quickly contacted Guan Shan and Yan Kai to come with me to find you!"
That childish voice carries responsibilities beyond her age, and every word seems to be a responsibility bursting out from the bottom of her heart.
Mu Xiaoji felt mixed emotions. He hugged Jiang Shuo tighter, as if he wanted to rub him into his body.
At this moment, he didn't know how Jiang Chengyu took care of Jiang Shuo and why he was so considerate.
Many times, there is an illusion that Jiang Shuo is Jiang Chengyu's incarnation of an angel, who came specifically to protect him.
The night fell like a huge piece of black silk, weighing heavily on the Goldsmith Bay Villa.
This area has always been a symbol of luxury and prosperity, and every inch of land seems to be inlaid with the light of wealth.
The meticulously trimmed green plants around the villa cast mottled shadows under the light, complementing the gorgeous European-style architecture and showing luxury.
However, tonight at Goldsmith Bay Villa was destined to be extraordinary. Several figures sneaked around the villa, breaking the tranquility beneath this luxurious scene.
Among them, there was a man with a slightly burly build wearing a black jacket with the zipper half open, revealing a T-shirt with an unknown pattern printed on it.
Next to him stood a gangster-like boy with hair dyed an exaggerated yellow, like a burning flame on his head.
The two men came together and each lit a cigarette. The orange-red cigarette butts flickered in the darkness like the eyes of a devil.
The man in the jacket frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the direction of the villa, and asked in a low voice: "Is that Mu guy still in there?"
The yellow-haired boy took a deep drag on his cigarette and slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke before responding, "I haven't come out since I went in today."
At this moment, a cool-looking man appeared without warning. He was wearing a black leather windbreaker with a turned-up collar, as if deliberately trying to hide his face.
He wears a pair of sunglasses and never takes them off even at night, giving people a mysterious feeling.
He walked with steady and powerful steps towards the man in the jacket and the blond boy, with a chilling smirk on his face.
"What are you two doing?" The cool guy's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.
The man in the jacket and the blond boy were frightened by the sudden sound and trembled all over. They both looked at the cool man in horror.
Before they could react, the cool guy suddenly attacked, his movements as agile as a cheetah. His hands shot out like lightning, grabbed the two men's heads and hit them hard.
With a dull "bang", their foreheads hit each other heavily, and then their eyes rolled back. They fainted instantly and fell straight to the ground.
The cool guy raised his lips slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. He gently pressed the earphones hidden in his collar and whispered:
"Boss, it seems like Mu is being closely watched. There are too many of them, making it difficult to eliminate them. Could you please tell me what to do next?"
At this moment, in another luxurious space far away, Andreas was leaning lazily on the soft leather sofa.
He was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, with an open collar, revealing his muscular chest. In his hand was a glass of rich red wine, the liquid in the glass gleaming like a ruby under the light.
He raised his head slightly, drank the red wine in the glass, and then spoke slowly, his voice carrying an innate majesty:
"Keep a close eye on them and ensure Mu's absolute safety. Send more personnel immediately to ensure everything is safe. I'll be there early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, boss!" The cool guy responded concisely and forcefully, and then decisively hung up the headset.
The surroundings fell into silence again. The cool guy kicked the two of them, but they didn't move. They looked around and turned and left when they saw nothing unusual.
