Ah Mo expression’s clouded over slightly. He fell silent for a mont and then nodded.
“Brother, you’ve considered this thoroughly. No matter what angle we look at this matter from, we’re in a position of being thrown around, so...” he said in his deep voice while worry flashed in his eyes.
“Alright, no need to feel too stressed out. I’ll resolve what needs to be resolved. You just have to be responsible for your own safety. Leave the rest to .” Mu Yuchen’s voice had a hint of consolation that made Ah Mo’s tensed chest ease slightly.
Ah Mo thought about it, then lowered his voice to ask, “Bro, do we want to get people to watch Gu Qiwu and secretly observe Doris’s movents?”
“Just go with the original orders. I did get so news from Ah Bao about you,” Mu Yuchen said, then his deep eyes looked up at Ah Mo, and a thought-provoking smile widened on his face.
“About ?” Shocked, Ah Mo tilted his head in puzzlent. “Why is it about ?”
Mu Yuchen held up his tea and took a short sip of it, then smiled faintly. “Gu Qiwu’s people were investigating you. They’ve probably collected so materials by now. No matter what his aim is, I’m sure he’s vigilant against you.”
Ah Mo’s expression changed. He pondered for a bit and responded, “What did he want to find out?”
“He might not necessarily have wanted to find out anything. Perhaps it’s just because of Lingshi, so it’s best if you’re more alert as well since he might just et you at any ti.”
Ah Mo’s expression shifted. Shortly after that, he answered, “I got it, Brother!”
...
When the family was done with dinner, they sat around for a bit before Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye returned to Maple Residence because they were worried, so they made Mu Lingshi stay at the old Mu residence while Ah Mo returned to the villa by himself.
However, at that mont, what Mu Yuchen predicted earlier quickly ca true.
Ah Mo was driving alone. Although he was a skilled driver, the old Mu residence was still quite far from his place, so he sped along the way. The suburbs late at night were extrely quiet, the streetlights were a little dull. From ti to ti, you could see a car or two speeding past.
He had just driven out of the byway and was about to accelerate ahead when suddenly there was a piercing light from in front. Subconsciously, he squinted and used his hand to block the strong light. Instinctively, he stepped on the brake!
Screech!
The squeal of urgent braking cut through the night. When Ah Mo stopped, the car in front stopped too. It was only less than 30 centiters away from him!
Imdiately, his vision adapted to the strong light. He was tense as he stared ahead vigilantly.
Soone got down from the car in front quickly. He was tall and lofty, and by the looks of it, he seed like a very skilled bodyguard. He took a few huge steps to the side of Ah Mo’s car as Ah Mo glared at him.
“Are you Mu Lingmo?” the man in black softly asked through the window.
A sharp, cold light flashed in Ah Mo’s dark eyes as he fixed his gaze on the man. “Who are you? What are you trying to do?”
The man bowed slightly. “Mr. Ah Mo, our boss is asking for you. Please co with us.”
Ah Mo scowled, but he answered very calmly, “Who’s your boss? I don’t know you people. Do you think I’ll just go with you? Tell your people to move away.”
“We’ve long heard about you on the streets, but please don’t worry. Our boss doesn’t have ill intentions. He just wants to talk. In fact, I think you’ll be quite interested in him too. When you see him, you’ll know who he is.”
These words suddenly made Ah Mo recall what Mu Yuchen told him at the old Mu residence. Could it be Gu Qiwu? A light flickered in his eyes as he thought about it for a mont, then nodded. “Alright, it looks like no matter what, I’d have to go with you lot this ti!”
Another car ca from ahead and blocked Ah Mo’s way too, so it seed like he had no choice. If it really was Gu Qiwu, then he was interested to take a look. Perhaps he could even obtain so sort of useful information.
“Mr. Ah Mo, you are a frank person indeed! Well, then, let’s go!” said the man before walking around the car, and pulling the door to the front passenger seat open.
The air in the car seed to suddenly drop in pressure, and there was another layer of stifling air in the narrow space. Nevertheless, Ah Mo started his car quickly and followed the man’s directions. Soon, they reached a private luxury clubhouse in the suburbs.
He followed the man in. They reached a private room where his guide stopped and nodded at the two bodyguards in black at the door. One of them then knocked and opened the door.
“Our boss would like you to enter first. This way.”
Ah Mo’s dark eyes swiftly looked at the two of them. He was about to enter when one of them suddenly ca up and wanted to frisk him. However, he refrained from doing so when he saw Ah Mo’s warning gaze.
“Mr. Ah Mo, this is just our routine...”
“Let him co in!” Before the man could answer, a deep voice had already bood from inside.
“Yes, Boss!”
Then, as the man silently left, Ah Mo walked in.
The private room was huge. As soon as he entered, he could see Gu Qiwu in the chair, looking through a docunt. He seed to have been waiting for Ah Mo for quite a while now.
When Ah Mo stopped in front of Gu Qiwu, his sharp eyes quickly examined him with a sinister gaze. Naturally, he knew this was Gu Qiwu. In fact, he knew him quite well too. Even though they had not t all these years, when he was by Mu Yinan’s side, he did have so interactions with the man.
Gu Qiwu was an extrely sophisticated person and was hard to read. Whether it was Mu Yinan or Mu Yuchen, they both did not have many dealings with Gu Qiwu, but they never would have guessed that the person they had been looking for, the man that Mu Zi had been trying so hard to keep a secret about, was Mu Lingtian and Mu Lingshi’s biological father who was sitting right in front of Ah Mo!
