Chapter 486: Is it a crime to leave him alone?
Chapter 486: Is it a crime to leave him alone?
In the spacious and bright gym of Jinyang Villa, the morning sunlight is like golden threads, shining through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, spreading on the mirror-like floor, reflecting a dazzling golden color.
There is a light fresh scent in the air, mixed with the metallic smell emitted by the fitness equipment, as if interweaving into a unique morning song.
Jiang Shuo was like a resolute statue, standing firmly on one leg on a piece of fitness equipment, his posture as straight as a pine tree.
His eyes were focused and sharp, as if he was staring at a distant target, without any interference from the outside world.
The thin yet powerful body, under the sunlight, outlines graceful lines, like a fine sculpture.
Mu Xiaoji was sitting on a machine to practice arm strength, repeating the push-up movements rhythmically.
Every time he exerted force, the muscles in his arms bulged high, like a dormant dragon, demonstrating his powerful strength.
Sweat slid down his cheeks, soaking his tight sports shirt, and dark sweat stains gradually spread on the clothes.
Jiang Shuo looked at Mu Xiaoji's focused training, and doubts surged in his heart. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you hire a bodyguard for your family?"
However, Mu Xiaoji seemed to be immersed in his own world. He turned a deaf ear to Jiang Shuo's questions and continued to mechanically repeat the actions in his hands, as if everything around him was nothing but an illusion.
Jiang Shuo frowned, the curiosity in his heart grew stronger like a ignited flame.
He asked again, "Did something happen at home? That day, you were so worried about Little Daddy. Is it related to Little Daddy?"
But Mu Xiaoji remained silent, like an emotionless stone statue. He slowly stood up and walked towards the shelf with steady steps, his movements slow and solemn, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.
He picked up a towel and slowly wiped the beads of sweat on his face. The beads of sweat rolled down the towel, as if carrying the unspeakable heaviness in his heart.
Then, he picked up the water cup again and took a sip of water. His movements were slow but with a hint of fatigue, trying to relieve the heat in his body.
Afterwards, he walked to the yoga mat, sat cross-legged, placed his hands neatly on his knees, slowly closed his eyes, and began to practice qigong and regulate his breathing, as if he had instantly entered a quiet world isolated from the world.
Jiang Shuo looked at Mu Xiaoji's actions, and the anxiety in his heart was like a raging fire that almost swallowed him up.
He felt that Mu Xiaoji must be hiding something crucial, and this feeling of being kept in the dark made him uneasy.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shuo gritted his teeth and a resolute look appeared on his face, as if he had made some irreversible decision.
He said loudly: "I have decided not to go to school from today on. I will stay at home to protect my little daddy. I can't let him get into any trouble again.
He is the most important person in my life. I was careless before, and I will never make that mistake again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Shuo kicked his legs hard, leaped up, and like a black lightning, he jumped off the pillar lightly and walked towards the door without hesitation.
His firm steps, as if every step was based on his own beliefs, declared to the world his unshakable determination.
When Mu Xiaoji heard Jiang Shuo's words, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, which was originally as calm as the surface of a lake. It was as if a huge rock was suddenly thrown into the calm lake, causing ripples.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and warned loudly: "If you dare not go to school, I will send you back to Kuncheng."
In Mu Xiaoji's opinion, Jiang Shuo is now at a critical stage in his life, and receiving a good education is the top priority, rather than making such an irrational decision based on momentary impulse.
When Jiang Shuo heard Mu Xiaoji's threat, he couldn't help but feel a surge of rage in his heart, as if a long-suppressed volcano suddenly erupted.
He turned around and looked directly at Mu Xiaoji without fear, with anger burning in his eyes, and retorted loudly:
"Mr. Mu, are you childish? I have the right to protect the people I care about. Little Daddy means everything to me, and he is everything in my life.
I can't stand to see him in danger and not do anything about it. That's something I absolutely cannot stand."
Jiang Shuo's eyes were full of stubbornness and determination, like two shining stars. He really couldn't understand why Mu Xiaoji couldn't support his seemingly simple and pure decision.
Seeing Jiang Shuo being so willful, Mu Xiaoji's anger suddenly rose up in his heart, like a lit powder keg that exploded instantly.
He opened his hand, and a powerful and invisible force rushed towards Jiang Shuo like a tough rope.
Jiang Shuo was caught off guard, and his whole body seemed to be grabbed by an invisible big hand. He fell towards Mu Xiaoji involuntarily and fell directly into Mu Xiaoji's arms.
Mu Xiaoji was furious. He grabbed Jiang Shuo like a chicken, pulled down his pants without hesitation, and then started spanking his little butt hard.
As he beat her, he angrily said, "Who taught you to talk to adults like that? Think about it carefully. Should I beat you?
Little daddy is so kind to you every day. He worries about your growth and spends all his efforts.
You are so good, you said you don't want to go to school, how can you be so impulsive and not consider the consequences at all. Do you think this is just playing house?"
Mu Xiaoji's voice trembled slightly with anger, like a volcano about to erupt. He hoped that in this way he could make Jiang Shuo understand how immature and reckless his behavior was.
Jiang Shuo was beaten so hard that he screamed and struggled hard, using his hands and feet to try to break free from Mu Xiaoji's restraints. He shouted:
"Mu, what are you doing so crazy so early in the morning? Let me go. If you hit me again, I will be rude to you!"
Jiang Shuo's heart was filled with grievance and resentment, like the sky covered by dark clouds. He felt that his thoughts were not wrong.
He just wanted to protect his little daddy out of his deep love for him, but he was treated so rudely by Mu Xiaoji.
"You still dare to talk back? Do you really think your father is dead?" Mu Xiaoji increased the strength of his hands and continued to lecture him.
"You are planning to break the three rules, right? I don't think you have much potential, but you still have the nerve to keep saying that you are protecting what little daddy wants to protect.
You are just talking nonsense to fool your grandparents. Daddy is also a famous man. He has high hopes for you when he sees you blinded by an eagle. "Mu Xiaoji's words were like sharp blades, piercing Jiang Shuo's heart.
"That's not the case! Let me go. Who are you to teach me a lesson? Do you know where I come from?"
Jiang Shuo shouted angrily, tears welling up in his eyes. He felt the pain of being beaten, but also the deep grievance of not being understood.
When Mu Xiaoji heard Jiang Shuo say, "Do you know where I come from?" he instantly felt disheartened, as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head.
At this moment, he was full of helplessness and stopped what he was doing, like a deflated ball.
He knew very well that Jiang Shuo's feelings for Jiang Chengyu were as deep as the ocean, but he hoped that Jiang Shuo could understand that when facing problems, reason and growth are equally important, and one should not act solely on momentary passion.
Jiang Shuo twisted his body desperately in Mu Xiaoji's arms, trying to break free from his restraints, and kept shouting:
“You didn’t tell me anything, so I can only decide this way. Protecting little daddy is my only responsibility.
You don't understand my feelings at all, you ruined my happiness and forced me to go to school without considering what my ambitions are? Why would I do this? "
Jiang Shuo's tears welled up in his eyes, and he finally couldn't hold back and burst out. He felt the pain of being beaten, as well as the grievance of not being understood.
Feeling Mu Xiaoji's hand loosen, Jiang Shuo stood up suddenly and quickly pulled up his pants. Anger and grievance made him lose his mind. He raised his hand and slapped Mu Xiaoji in the face.
"My little daddy has held me in his hands all day long and never touched a hair on my head. What right do you have to hit me?
Besides beating people, what else can you do? If you have the guts, just kill me and my little daddy together! Do you want to let him live with a breath? "
After saying that, he angrily opened the door, ran out like a gust of wind, and ran straight to the master bedroom upstairs.
Mu Xiaoji stared blankly at his hand, the hand that had just beaten Jiang Shuo, and it seemed that the warmth of Jiang Shuo's buttocks still remained.
He looked at Jiang Shuo's back as he disappeared at the door, feeling mixed emotions. He began to ponder his own behavior, wondering if he was really wrong.
Was I too tough and didn't consider Jiang Shuo's inner feelings?
Jiang Shuo ran to the door of the master bedroom, pushed it open without hesitation, and ran towards the big bed, crying and shouting: "Little Daddy...Little Daddy..."
The voice was full of helplessness and grievance, as if a wounded little animal was wailing.
Coming to the big bed, Jiang Shuo climbed onto it very quickly and took off his little shoes, his movements were flustered and hurried.
He lifted Jiang Chengyu's quilt, crawled in like a frightened bird, covered his head with it, and heard Jiang Shuo sobbing and sobbing.
"Little Daddy, do you know how long you have slept? Can you please wake up? Can you take your stinky baby home?
I don’t want to stay here and face that moody face all day. “Little daddy, wuwu…” Jiang Shuo’s crying echoed in the quilt, as if he wanted to vent all his grievances and pains.
Jiang Shuo cried angrily for a while, then stood up suddenly. He wiped the tears from both sides of his cheeks with his arms, and a determined light rekindled in his eyes.
He threw off the quilt and jumped off the bed. He walked quickly to the closet, opened the door, took out Jiang Chengyu's clothes and threw them on the bed.
Then he climbed onto the bed and skillfully helped Jiang Chengyu unbutton his pajamas, put on a sweater and tidied up the corners of his clothes.
After everything was ready, he pushed the wheelchair aside, opened his hands, and raised his true energy.
His big watery eyes were focused and determined, and a powerful force slowly surged from his body, like an undercurrent hidden beneath the calm surface of a lake.
Jiang Chengyu was gently lifted up by the force, like a light feather, and slowly placed into the wheelchair.
Jiang Shuo ran to his room next door without saying a word, picked up his schoolbag like a whirlwind, and dumped all the books, stationery and other things inside onto the ground.
He put the laptop into his schoolbag, carried it back to the master bedroom, found Jiang Chengyu's ID card in the closet, then carefully put it into his schoolbag, zipped it up and put it on his back.
He walked over to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took Jiang Chengyu's phone, and skillfully booked a nearby taxi. His fingers slid quickly on the screen, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.
After everything was done, Jiang Shuo pushed his wheelchair to the balcony, took a deep breath, and once again exerted his overwhelming force, a force that seemed to be able to shake the heavens and the earth.
He dragged the wheelchair and Jiang Chengyu into the air, like an eagle spreading its wings and soaring, and slowly landed in the yard.
Guan Shan and Yan Kai saw Jiang Shuo pushing Jiang Chengyu out of the yard from the attic, and they quickly jumped down from one floor to the other in the yard, like a black lightning.
They immediately stopped him and asked, "Jiang Shuo, where are you taking him?" Their eyes were full of vigilance and confusion.
Jiang Shuo looked at the two of them with cold eyes and said, "It's none of your business, go away." That look seemed to be able to freeze the air, full of determination.
The two spread their arms, trying to block the way. "You can't take him away. Ask Mr. Mu for permission first." Their tone was firm and they refused to give in.
Jiang Shuo smiled contemptuously and said, "Little Daddy is mine, he doesn't deserve to be with Little Daddy." That smile was full of disdain and anger.
After that, he was about to leave when something happened, and Guan Shan said, “Yan Kai, go back and inform President Mu, I will stop him.”
"You don't know your own limitations, huh!" After saying that, Jiang Shuo opened his little hand, and two stones on the ground flew into Jiang Shuo's hand like bullets. Jiang Shuo hit the two men on the chest neatly.
The two men immediately covered their chests and fainted on the ground like targets being hit.
At this moment, a taxi slowly drove up to us, and the driver got out and asked, "Is this the car you booked?" He had a professional smile on his face.
Jiang Shuo nodded: "Uncle, can you help me get little daddy into the car?" There was a hint of pleading in his voice.
"No problem. Where are you two going?" the driver asked as he helped Jiang Chengyu into the car.
"Thank you, uncle. Let's go back to our hometown." Jiang Shuo responded sincerely.
The driver put the wheelchair in the trunk and walked over to the driveway: "Fasten your seat belts, kid. Let's go!"
"Okay, high-speed rail station, thank you." Jiang Shuo told the direction he was going, and saw the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the Jinyang villa area. The taxi slowly merged into the bustling traffic and gradually disappeared in the distance.
Only the dust that was raised along the way was left, as if telling the story of the fierce conflict that had just occurred...
