After leaving the club, Mu Sijue drove back to the old house of the Mu family .

This time, he was sober enough that he didn’t wake up Aunt Zhou to enter .
But maybe he was too sober . He lay in bed, taking half an hour before even trying to sleep . Xu Youning constantly appeared in front of his eyes and he felt so empty, as if there were a hole in his heart .
But, Xu Youning didn’t belong to him anyway . So he didn’t lose anything .
When the east of the sky started to turn white, Mu Sijue got up and took several sleeping pills . Then he finally fell asleep .
By the time he woke up again, it was dark in the room and he couldn’t tell the time . He just saw someone vaguely .
A person whom he was familiar with that had a tall and thin figure . She had long hair and quick movements .
He sat up in a blank . He was about to utter “Xu Youning” when the person suddenly turned around and looked at him smilingly, “Xiao Qi, you’re awake?”
It was Aunt Zhou .
Mu Sijue finally came to himself and pressed his temple, “Aunt Zhou, how long have I slept?”
“It’s dusk now . It’s getting dark . ” Aunt Zhou took some clothes for Mu Sijue . “When did you come back? Why didn’t I notice?”
“At midnight,” Mu Sijue said, “It was too late . And I didn’t have anything important so I didn’t want to wake you up . ”
Aunt Zhou calmly sat by the bed and looked at Mu Sijue kindly . “Xiao Qi, are you really all right?”
When Mu Sijue was little, Aunt Zhou would always call him Xiao Qi, which contained love and tolerance . Her tone really sounded like Mu Sijue’s mother .
But only after a few years, Mu Sijue became powerful and sharp . There were more and more people who were respectful and scared of him . Gradually, Aunt Zhou stopped calling him Xiao Qi, only using his full name from then on .
Only when Mu Sijue was great or didn’t look great would Aunt Zhou call him by his nick name, just in the way she used to comfort him with a gentle voice .
At the moment, Mu Sijue didn’t know how to answer her question . He was fine or not fine . He didn’t have an answer, either…
Aunt Zhou seemed to have seen through his hesitation and asked, “Did you really make up your mind to get rid of Xu Youning?”
“… Tonight . ”
Then, Mu Sijue realized it was already time . He looked out of the window and his heart felt like it had been caught by a hand full of thorns, tight and painful .

Aunt Zhou knew Mu Sijue well and didn’t miss any little expression of his . She caught his hand and said, “It’s not too late to change your mind . ”
Changing his mind? Mu Sijue had to admit he wanted to, but, he couldn’t .
“Aunt Zhou, it’s already too late,” Mu Sijue said slowly as if he really didn’t care about Xu Youning’s life . He naturally changed the topic, “I’m hungry . Cook something for me . I’ll get downstairs after a shower . ”
Aunt Zhou sighed . “Okay . ”
After Aunt Zhou left, the room suddenly turned quiet . Mu Sijue looked at the cellphone by his bedside . He picked it up and then set it down .
What if he knew Xu Youning had been taken away or was still at the club? The thing that needed to happen that night had to happen .
Mu Sijue took up his clothes and was about to go to the bathroom when the phone rang and Ah Guang’s name was on the screen .
He picked up the phone without a second of hesitation . “Say it . ”
“Seventh Brother,” Ah Guang said in a low voice, “It’s almost eight . I’ll set out right away to pick up Xu Youning and take her life on the mountain . ”
“…” That thorny hand crushed Mu Sijue’s heart right at that moment .
He kept silent for quite a while and finally said in a normal tone, “Be careful . Xu Youning… is not as simple as you think . ”
“I know,” Ah Guang said, ” I’ll give you a call after it’s done . ”
“Not…”
The word “necessary” froze by Mu Sijue’s lips . He wanted to show that he wasn’t interested to know whether Xu Youning would be dead or alive . But before he could finish the words, Ah Guang hung up the phone .
His hand became weak and with a “bang” sound, the phone fell on the carpet . His heart fell with it too; the only thing left inside his chest was blood .
The bathroom was so close but Mu Sijue seemed to have lost the strength to get there .
This was the biggest bet in his whole life but he could only let others decide it .
In contrast, Ah Guang who should be the saddest had no reaction . Upon the arrival of the set time, he led Jie and Jason to the second floor underground .
Jie and Jason both had a pretty deep impression of Xu Youning .

A few months back, Mu Sijue had been attacked in Mexico . She was the only one who knew about it and reached the place to take care of Mu Sijue . Later, she had been kidnapped in the mall by Kang Ruicheng and Jie was later punished to stay in a deserted area for a long time because of this .
And just then, Ah Guang had just told them that Xu Youning was a spy sent by Kang Ruicheng and that Mu Sijue ordered to kill her?
“Brother Guang . ” Jie was really shocked . “Is it true? Xu Youning is really the spy?”
Instead of answering his question, Ah Guang asked, “Are you doubting Seventh Brother’s judgement?”
“No, no, no!” Jie quickly waved his hand . “I’m just surprised, very surprised…”
“Why?” Ah Guang asked .
“I’m surprised that Seventh Brother wants to kill Xu Youning!” Jie said with great shock, “Everyone knows about the relationship between Seventh Brother and Xu Youning . It’s better to lock her up than to kill her . If we kill her… she will be gone forever . ”
Ah Guang stopped for a minute and then said seriously, “It’s one of Seventh Brother’s rules . Have you forgotten that betrayal is the most unacceptable behavior for him?”
Jie took a look at Jason . Jason shrugged, which meant he had no answer, either .
Soon, the three of them reached the second floor underground .
Ah Guang scanned his palmprint, pushed the door open and found Xu Youning sleeping in bed .
Jason groaned, “Sister Youning… is too courageous . Doesn’t she know she will die today?”
Xu Youning heard the voice and opened her eyes . Then she slowly sat up . “Of course I know . ”
Jason was scared by Xu Youning . “Then why are you still sleeping?”
“Is there a rule that says I can’t sleep before I die?” Xu Youning slowly got down from the bed and her head reached Ah Guang’s . “Cuff me . There’s no regret for me now that Mu Sijue sent you to take care of me . ”
Ah Guang took out the handcuffs and placed them on Xu Youning’s hands . “Do you have anything to say to someone, or… do you want to see anyone?”
“Yes . ” Xu Youning smiled and said without a second thought, “I want to meet Mu Sijue . ”
Ah Guang looked awkward . “Well…”
Jie and Jason were also confused . They were suspicious that Xu Youning might do something crazy before she died .

Xu Youning looked at their expressions and sighed . “You have no humor cells . ”
Jie and Jason were both relieved . “You’re just kidding . ”
Xu Youning shrugged and smiled as if nothing was wrong .
Only she knew that she wasn’t kidding .
She didn’t know what would happen next . No matter if she went back to Kang Ruicheng smoothly or was killed with gunshots… she would never see Mu Sijue again .
So she wanted to see him .
But she knew it was impossible . But it would be okay to ask Ah Guang to pass a few words to Su Jianan .
“Ah Guang . ” Xu Youning made up a smile . “Then I will tell you something serious . Listen to me, I need you to apologize to Jianan and Brother Boyan . Tell Jianan that I’m really sorry that I almost caused their divorce . If I had known Kang Ruicheng wanted those files to threaten her, I would have never given them to him . ”
“I will give your words to Mrs . Lu . ” Ah Guang nodded and asked, “Is there anything else?”
Xu Youning shook her head . “No . Let’s go . ”
Jie and Jason were basically doing the same work as Xu Youning . And those in the job particularly treasured their lives because they never knew when they would die . It was the first time that they had seen someone so fearless in front of death, so they curiously asked, “Aren’t you afraid of death?”
“No . ” Xu Youning gave them a mysterious smile, “I have been waiting for this moment for so long . ” Then, she looked at Ah Guang .
At that moment, Ah Guang seemed to understand what Xu Youning meant . He quietly gave her a look, then he took her to the first floor underground and got into a business car .
After the car went out of the parking lot, Ah Guang told Xu Youning, “We’re going to Enning Hill . ”
Xu Youning was very familiar with City G; Enning Hill was the only hill which hadn’t even constructed into a place for sightseeing . The landscape was complicated, where normal people might easily get lost . But it was a good place to escape for someone who had a superior sense of direction like her .
She lightly replied with a “um” and said, “When you bury me, remember to choose a place with a good location . ”
Jason looked at Xu Youning with a troubled expression . He said, “Holy ghost . ”
Xu Youning glanced at Jason . “I’m still alive . You would indeed be running into a ghost if you can still see me after today . ”
Jason: “…”
Soon, the car reached Enning Hill and stopped somewhere halfway .
At midnight on the mountain, the darkness covered every corner like a magical claw . The atmosphere was particularly weird . But it was nothing for them . They had been through many more horrifying scenes .
Jason hesitated, then he took out the gun . He looked at Xu Youning and said, “To be honest, I think it would be a pity if you die . ”
Xu Youning shrugged . “What a coincidence? I think the same way . ” Then, her smile became strange .
Jie and Jason were still thinking about Xu Youning’s mysterious smile when she unlocked the cuffs with the key Ah Guang gave her the day before .
“You will be seeing a ghost if you see me after today”—Jason thought of that sentence and understood her meaning . He said to Jie, “She wants to run!”
Right at that moment, Xu Youning’s foot flew by and got the gun in Jason’s hand . Then she held the gun in her hand and evaded a bullet Jie had quickly shot .
Jie and Jason finally knew how fierce Xu Youning was . They shouted at Ah Guang, “What are you still doing there? Get her!”
Ah Guang calmly walked toward Xu Youning, seemingly intending to fight against her . But when he got near her, he stopped fighting . Xu Youning naturally caught his hands and pointed the gun against his head .
Not expecting things to develop like this, Xu Youning was amazed for a moment and then got herself together . She shouted at Jie and Jason, “Don’t move . I’ll let you have a taste of these bullets if you do . ”
Jie and Jason constantly signaled at Ah Guang to struggle but he just shook his head . They looked at Ah Guang in disbelief . “You…”
“Don’t move . ” Ah Guang was calm enough as he spoke . “Don’t worry . The fault is on me if Seventh Brother looks into this . There won’t be any trouble for you two . ”
