The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Mu’s Pampered Wife Chapter 1309 - Trap 4

Chapter 1309 Trap 4

su chen stopped what he was doing as he looked at mu yuchen and asked.

mu yuchen reached out to take the pictures back from su chen and glanced at them indifferently before putting them back into the drawer. “how strong were you antic.i.p.ating qi qiming’s reaction to be? qi qiming only realized this late. in fact, he told qi feng to investigate this, but before that, qi feng seemed to have had an unhappy exchange with him. if that’s the case, are you sure that qi qiming’s all that naive?”

“otherwise, how else do you think he’ll act?” su chen poured mu yuchen a cup of tea as he asked.

“if qi qiming really was that foolish, qi kai would’ve been done for. the last time, qi lei wasn’t made to leave city z, and not too long ago, when qi lei announced that he was going to start his own thing, not only did he not stop him, but he even defended him. wasn’t this sufficient explanation?” mu yuchen’s dark eyes flickered with a wise light as he said with a faint smile.

“however, qi qiming was just compelled by the circ.u.mstances then, so that doesn’t seem to explain much.”

“if qi qiming was really the same as he was back then, how do you think qi feng would’ve made qi lei leave city z, especially with qi qiming’s recent att.i.tude? so, i’m making a bet.”

“what are you betting on?” su chen took a sip of tea and looked suspiciously at mu yuchen.

mu yuchen put down another chess piece on the board as he said with a lowered voice, “i bet that qi qiming does care a little bit about his son, qi lei.”

“huh, we have all witnessed qi qiming’s att.i.tude towards qi lei. where did you get this confidence that qi qiming cares about qi lei?” su chen seemed to disagree with mu yuchen’s opinion.

“actually, it’s not that qi qiming doesn’t care about qi lei. it was just because of w.a.n.g qin back then. not too long ago, ah mo mentioned to me that qi qiming seemed interested in w.a.n.g qin’s cause of death recently. he’s also hired a private investigator to look into it. only he knows about this. the police station hasn’t even come through with the investigation. if it weren’t for my father’s requests, it would’ve probably been buried by now.”

“qi qiming’s suspicious about w.a.n.g qin’s incident too? haven’t we found out who the murderer was? but the person’s escaped abroad, so they couldn’t catch him.”

“do you think that an a.s.sa.s.sin would just try to frame me and kill w.a.n.g qin for no reason?”

as mu yuchen looked at su chen, he picked his tea up and sipped it calmly. “there’s something i need you to look over. tell them to pay attention to the entry-exit situation. don’t let doris leave. can you do that?”

upon hearing that, su chen raised his brows. he thought about it, then asked, “do you think that she’s still in city z right now?”

“she’s created such a huge trap. if she was going to leave so easily, she would’ve done everything for nothing, especially with things on gu qiwu’s end.”

“okay, if that’s the case, leave it to me. she won’t be able to leave!”

“thanks, buddy.” mu yuchen looked up at him and smiled.

“consider it a thank you for the unlimited freebies at your imperial sky entertainment city. it’s your turn now!”

…

in front of a certain higher cla.s.s ward in city z.

gu qiwu stood outside the door. through his silent line of sight, he looked through the window and saw mu lings.h.i.+ lying on the bed, flipping through some doc.u.ments. he suddenly stopped his steps as if his feet were frozen, and he did not move for a long time.

“boss, miss lings.h.i.+ isn’t asleep yet. do we want to enter?” ah yong looked around vigilantly, and lowered his voice to say to gu qiwu.

gu qiwu’s grave expression contained some depth, and an extremely complicated light gathered in his eyes too. he did not answer ah yong while his gaze remained on mu lings.h.i.+ who was on the sickbed.

mu lings.h.i.+ did not know this was happening outside her room. because she had been asleep the entire afternoon, she did not feel very sleepy now. the doctor said that she needed to stay at the hospital for another two more days of observation and would be discharged once her condition stabilized.

in the evening, zhuang shurong went over and brought her some soup that she liked. when she suggested staying to watch over mu lings.h.i.+, the latter had chased her home.

right now, she was briefly looking through the quarterly report from imperial sky entertainment city. these things were usually done by ah mo, but these past few days, she would sometimes help to handle some things to lighten his burden.

gu qiwu stood outside the door for a long time, unsure if he should go in or not. he struggled for a while, and was about to knock on the door when suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps from behind him. he frowned and subconsciously turned to see a few figures appear vaguely around the corner ahead.

he shot ah yong a look, and then moved to another corner quickly to hide. the footsteps moved closer, and the shadows were dragged out by the light.

“minister, we’re here. miss lings.h.i.+ isn’t asleep yet!”

“wait for me downstairs.” it was mu tangchuan’s elegant voice.

“yes, minister!”

mu tangchuan lifted a hand to knock on the door, and mu lings.h.i.+’s voice came very quickly from inside.

“come in!”

when mu tangchuan pushed the door open to enter, mu lings.h.i.+ looked up from her doc.u.ments. upon seeing his tall figure, a smile flashed on her face, and she quickly set aside the doc.u.ments and wanted to get down the bed.

“father! why are you here?! it’s so late!”

mu tangchuan walked up to her and quickly held her. “alright, don’t move about now. just lie down and rest. i’ve been busy the entire day. i just got back from the provincial government department, so i came over to take a look at you. how are you feeling now? feeling better?” he asked caringly and lovingly as he helped her sit down.

“much better. i’ll be able to go home the day after tomorrow. it’s already so late, father. why did you come over?”

“i was worried about you, so i came. why isn’t your mother here? didn’t she say she was going to be with you?” mu tangchuan looked around, and when he did not see zhuang shurong, he frowned.

“i chased mother home since xiao cheng’s still home. brother and sis-in-law accompanied me in the hospital last night too. they were worried. i saw that sis-in-law wasn’t looking too well, so i told them go home first. mother still has to go to work. this isn’t a huge deal anyway, and brother did hire a nurse.”

mu lings.h.i.+ actually did feel her heart melt, not for anything except the way they were concerned for her.

“having nurses on standby isn’t as intimate as being taken care by our own people. i’ve just applied for leave on behalf of your mother. i’ll ask her to come over to be with you for a few days. don’t worry about ah mo’s thing. your brother and i are confident that we’ll get him out safely. you take good care of yourself, understand?” mu tangchuan looked worriedly at her.

her little face was as cool as zixi’s. the more he looked at her, the more she looked just like zixi. back then, he did not care enough for her, and that was how the situation became worse. because he did not take good care of her, she met someone like gu qiwu.

from then onwards, the series of tragedies took place…
