The last trust he had in his adoptive father was completely shattered.
Just as he was about to get up and leave the hall, a cough suddenly came from upstairs.
"Ahem"
Mr. Mu walked down slowly, holding on to the guardrail of the stairs.
Mu Jingchen raised his eyes and looked up.
For the first time, he discovered that his grandfather was already a bit stooped and his body was not as strong as before.
He stood up and walked over, stepping forward to help her.
"Grandpa, why did you get up so early?"
Mr. Mu sat down.
¡°I¡¯m old and sleep less. I can¡¯t fall asleep at dawn.¡±
Mu Jingchen stood next to his grandfather and could clearly see the silver hair on his head.
"Grandpa, if you have insomnia, can I ask a doctor to come over and take a look at you?"
Mr. Mu smiled and waved his hand.
"Jingchen, grandpa knows that you are filial, but there is no need for it. At your age, if you sleep more, you will live less."
Although this was a joke, it also reminded Mu Jingchen.
He almost forgot that in two years, grandpa will be eighty years old.
"Grandpa, don't say that, you are destined to live a long life."
Mr. Mu smiled kindly.
"Grandpa doesn't have that much in mind. He just wants to spend a few more years with his great-grandchildren and watch them grow up, so he will have no regrets."
When he mentioned his great-grandchildren, his wrinkled eyes narrowed together and curved into a crescent shape.
After saying that, he looked up at Mu Jingchen.
Seeing Mu Jingchen¡¯s serious face, he added: ¡°By the way, Jingchen, I haven¡¯t seen Liyue since yesterday. Where has she gone?¡±
"She is currently preparing for a new company and is quite busy. She leaves early and comes home late."
Mr. Mu suddenly realized, "No wonder I didn't see her all day yesterday."
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to remind her: "You have to tell her that preparing a new company does not happen overnight. Let her not be too tired and go home early in the evening."
Mu Jingchen¡¯s eyes darkened.
"good."
After saying that, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Grandpa, the company has an important meeting, I will go first."
After Mr. Mu nodded, he strode out of the hall.
¡
Quan Family Villa.
As soon as Quan Zhengrong walked out of the door, he was surrounded by a group of oncoming bodyguards.
When he was surprised, the bodyguard gave way.
Mu Jingchen stood there with cold eyes.
"Where is Liyue?"
Quan Zhengrong glanced at the bodyguards around him, then at his terrifying expression, and asked in surprise: "Liyue hasn't gone home yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards around him raised their guns and pointed them at his head.
Mu Jingchen gently turned the dragon pattern on his thumb and said emotionlessly: "Are you sure you still want to show off?"
Quan Zhengrong looked at the cold muzzle of the gun in front of him.
"Jingchen, don't be impulsive. Liyue did indeed leave last night. As for why she hasn't come home yet, I'm not sure."
Mu Jingchen frowned.
In a life-or-death situation, there is no need for the adoptive father to lie.
Could it be that something happened to Liyue on her way home after she left the villa?
However, they don¡¯t seem to have offended anyone recently
Quan Zhengrong looked at his face and fell into deep thought.
Liyue left the Seaview Villa last night, how could she not go home?
Could it be that
He seemed to have thought of something, and there was a flash of shock in his eyes.
Mu Jingchen looked at the sudden change in his eyes, frowned and said, "You know where she is, right?"
After Quan Zhengrong¡¯s ideological struggle, he shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡±
Mu Jingchen¡¯s eyes turned cold and he raised his hand to grab his collar.
"I didn't want to cause such embarrassment in the relationship between adopted father and son, but if you insist on forcing me, I don't mind being treasonous!"
This threat had no effect on Quan Zhengrong.
With a sullen face, he still said: "Jingchen, my adoptive father really doesn't know"
Before he finished speaking, Mu Jingchen's eyes were bloodshot and he kicked him mercilessly.
He took several steps back, and finally fell to the ground in embarrassment, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
Before he could react, Mu Jingchen walked to him again, squatted down and grabbed his collar.
"Tell me, where is she?"
He hasn't had time yetWhen he opened his mouth, Mu Jingchen's eyes were sharp and he continued: "You can continue to pretend, but I hope you can understand one thing.
When I respect you, you are the elder. If we break up, you will be my enemy. The fate of your entire Quan family is a matter of my words! "
Quan Zhengrong¡¯s face lost color.
He was deeply shocked when he heard Mu Jingchen's cold and heartless words.
It seems that he has been whispering about Huangfu Liyue's position in Jingchen's heart.
If anything happens to her, Jingchen will not hesitate to let the entire Quan family be buried with her.
"Jingchen, don't be impulsive. Although I don't know where Liyue is, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to her."
"What guarantee do you have?"
Quan Zhengrong suddenly fell silent.
Seeing him like this, Mu Jingchen loosened his collar, stood up slowly, looked down at him with disgust, and suddenly said: "You did all this at the instigation of that woman, right?"
Quan Zhengrong raised his eyebrows with surprise in his eyes.
Mu Jingchen smiled coldly.
"Don't look at me like that. Earlier, when the woman who looked similar to Liyue appeared, I sent someone to investigate your whereabouts.
Some time ago you went to Country E to find that woman, right? Everything you are doing now is executing her orders, right? "
His cold lips uttered these words, with a hint of coldness in them.
Originally, he was not sure that the woman was instigating all this.
But Liyue was nowhere to be found, and the adoptive father was still so sure that Liyue would not be in danger, so he completely confirmed his suspicion.
Quan Zhengrong¡¯s eyes were complicated, and he neither admitted nor denied it.
Mu Jingchen stretched out his hand.
The bodyguard on the side understood immediately and put the gun into his hand.
He held the gun and pointed it directly at Quan Zhengrong.
"Tell me, what does that woman want to do?"
Quan Zhengrong could clearly feel the aura around him becoming colder, and there was even hatred in his eyes.
It is obvious that he only hates the queen.
Seeing that nothing could be hidden from him, Quan Zhengrong had no choice but to admit it.
"Jingchen, you guessed it right, all of this is indeed your mother"
Halfway through the words, Mu Jingchen corrected him with a cold face: "I don't have a mother!"
Seeing his scarlet eyes, Quan Zhengrong sighed and changed his words.
"This is indeed what the queen means. As for the reason, I don't know much about it. I just want to help her fulfill a wish."
Mu Jingchen¡¯s hand holding the gun tightened.
"Her wish is to hurt my wife and destroy my family?"
Quan Zhengrong looked at the murderous intent in his eyes and explained quickly.
"Jingchen, you misunderstood, she didn't want to destroy your family"
"enough!"
Mu Jingchen took a deep breath, not wanting to hear another word about that woman from his mouth.
¡°You knew I hated that woman, but you secretly worked with her to plot against me!
You have betrayed my trust and hurt my wife, and you must pay the price! "
When he said this, veins appeared on his forehead, and there was endless anger in his eyes.
Quan Zhengrong has known him for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen him lose his temper.
"Jingchen, you"
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Jingchen's eyes were cold, the gun was pointed at him, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
