Perhaps because he had too much to worry about, he felt both ntally and physically exhausted. These past few years, Mu Yuchen’s body had weakened since his days in the troop. Although he did not fall terribly ill, he would catch a cold easily.
Xi Xiaye wanted him to get a full-body checkup with her once he was done being busy, but when work piled on, the checkup was delayed. Even Xi Xiaye did not go herself, so they could only wait till the next public holiday before they could get checked.
He had been busy handling the incident with Zhou Zimo and dealing with the police. If things were not handled well, it would be bad for Zhou Zimo because when the ti ca, Zhou Zimo might have to go to jail.
Sadly, Zhou Zimo was still unconscious and it had been quite a few days now.
On the Zhou family’s end, he was worried that he would not be able to keep a secret from them for long. He had called Elder Zhou before this, and the Elder complained about Zhou Zimo.
“Master!”
When Mu Yuchen did not answer him for a long ti, Li Si went to get the dicine and poured him a cup of water.
Upon hearing Li Si’s voice, Mu Yuchen looked up wearily and looked at the white pills in the napkin that Li Si handed him, but he did not reject them. He quietly swallowed them and drank so water as he said with a raspy voice, “Call Lawyer Henry and Lawyer Charlie over to take a look. See if we can get Zimo released on bail. No matter how much we have to pay, no one back ho must know about this incident.”
“Yes, Master! I got it!” Li Si’s tone was unusually solemn. “However, Master, right now all the evidence points to Master Mo. I’m worried that it won’t be good for him. The new company’s expanding quite well over here, but the way Master Mo does things...has offended quite a number of people.”
“Zimo’s like that. I’m used to it too. I always advised him to be more careful.” Mu Yuchen withdrew his hand and breathed in heavily. “If he continues like this, he will be taken advantage of.”
“Yes, Master Mo...If it were not for Master Su and Master helping out, Master Mo would probably have t a much worse fate. However, Master, this ti...I’m worried that you will be implicated. Every ti Master Mo gets dragged into things like this, it’s always you that worries. Aren’t they concerned about involving you too? Just like the last ti, it was also here that...”
As for Zhou Zimo, Li Si knew about the three brothers very well, especially from Ah Mo. Apart from feeling bad for his Master, he would sotis be unhappy about Zhou Zimo.
However, when Li Si said this, he stopped and his indignant voice stopped abruptly because he saw gloominess and sharpness flash in his Master’s eyes that were filling with an imposing manner, so he dared not say anything more!
He seed to understand more now. While his Master usually looked profound, calm, and indifferent, he was on the contrary on the inside.
The Missus and the Mu family, as well as Su Chen and Zhou Zimo, were all his soft spots...
“Li Si, Su Chen and Zhou Zimo are people who have gone through 30 years with . To , they’re not just my friends or even my comrades in battle. They are brothers, no, they are more than that, so don’t let hear what you said today again. This was the second ti. If there’s a next ti, you can resign.”
Mu Yuchen’s lowered voice contained a hint of chill, and his gaze made Li Si shudder. He quickly lowered his head and explained, “I’m sorry, Master. I understand. I just...”
1As Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened, he took in a deep breath, then waved to Li Si to say softly, “Go out first. Wake up in half an hour. I’m going to check on Zimo in the hospital.”
Li Si cald down and then nodded to say, “Yes, Master!” Then, he left in a panic, afraid that Mu Yuchen would be angry.
When the door closed, Mu Yuchen leaned against the sofa wearily. This dicine seed to have a drowsy effect. Soon, he could not hold back the sleepiness that ca to him, so he fell into a deep sleep to the point that he did not even notice the phone beside him buzzing.
At this mont, it was late at night in City Z’s Grand Waves Villa.
Xi Xiaye frowned and watched as the phone screen go dim again. She hesitated, then turned to look at her sons who had fallen asleep. After a while, she got down from the bed and took a cardigan from the side to put over her shoulders before walking out of the bedroom.
She called Li Si again.
Li Si did not expect that Xi Xiaye would call him. When he picked up the phone, he thought it was odd. Since he had just been softly reprimanded by Mu Yuchen, he was now careful. When he heard Xi Xiaye’s voice. he felt much calr.
“Assistant Li Si, where’s your Master? Why isn’t he picking up my call?”
The call had just gone through when Xi Xiaye’s anxious voice was heard.
“Missus, the Master’s been working through the night and he seems to have gotten a cold. I’ve just given him so dicine, so he’s probably resting right now,” Li Si explained with concern in his tone.
“A cold?”
When Xi Xiaye heard that, she frowned even more. He seed to never know how to take good care of himself.
“Will you watch over him? How are things on that end?”
“It’s a little sticky. We might need to stay here much longer. Master Mo...”
Li Si was about to ntion that Zhou Zimo had not regained consciousness, but then he rembered that the Master might not have ntioned this to Missus yet. He thought about it, then felt like it was best not to say anything.
“Stay much longer? Would you be back in ti for the Mid-Autumn Festival?”
“We don’t know yet, Missus. Later, when Master wakes up, I will let him know. Missus, please take good care of yourself too.”
...
Li Si did not reveal too much, which made Xi Xiaye uneasy. She thought about it for a long ti and decided that she could not do much, so she fell back asleep uneasily, but she had already lost sleep for the entire night.
...
anwhile, on the other end, when Mu Yuchen rushed to the hospital, the doctor had just finished doing a checkup for Zhou Zimo.
The doctor explained Zhou Zimo’s condition to Mu Yuchen in English. The rough aning was that Zhou Zimo’s head had suffered severe injuries, so he needed ti to rest. There were no blood clots in his head, thus he would probably wake up quite soon. His other vitals were looking fine too, and he would gradually recover from his injuries.
Upon hearing the doctor say that, Mu Yuchen felt relieved. He was really worried that Zhou Zimo would not regain consciousness like Ruan Heng.
However, when he talked to Xiaye on the phone a few days ago, Xiaye did say that Ruan Heng might be waking up soon and would sotis subconsciously move his fingers.
