Chapter 477: 477

The light was off in the room . Mu Sijue’s tall figure was lost in the complete darkness but it still released an intimidating feeling .

He had his back to Ah Guang so that he couldn’t see the expression on his face clearly . Besides, Ah Guang didn’t dare to observe .

Ah Guang had full confidence to say that he knew Mu Sijue very well . He was sure enough that Mu Sijue wouldn’t really kill Xu Youning .

He knew better than anyone else that Xu Youning was the first woman that Mu Sijue had ever held sincerely in his heart .

He chose to gamble this one time that Mu Sijue wouldn’t hurt the one he loved .

It seemed that he had been right .

Ah Guang walked into the room and calmly said, “Seventh Brother, it has been settled . ”

After a long silence, Mu Sijue replied with an “um” without happiness or sadness .

But that was just Mu Sijue’s greatest sorrow .

Ah Guang thought for a minute and then added, “Xu Youning escaped . I let her out . ”

This time, Mu Sijue didn’t say anything for a long time .

However, Ah Guang apparently felt that the oppressive breath around him disappeared . He was like a beast freed from darkness and was relieved . Even the line of his back looked less heavy .

Ah Guang knew that he had made the right guess .

“Why aren’t you angry?” Ah Guang rushed to him and sounded angry, “Seventh Brother, you were just using me! You never thought about killing Xu Youning . You just wanted me to let her go!”

Mu Sijue turned around to look at Ah Guang . “You didn’t disappoint me . ”

It was true . What Ah Guang had in mind was right—he wouldn’t hurt Xu Youning .

However, Xu Youning was unwilling to stay .

Even if Xu Youning had been willing to stay, he wouldn’t be able to face his brothers anymore .

Therefore, he acted and pretended that he intended to kill Xu Youning, which would be the best choice for both him and Xu Youning .

And Ah Guang would be the fittest for the task .

Ah Guang was close to Xu Youning so he wouldn’t hurt Xu Youning, either . Ah Guang would surely let Xu Youning go at the last moment . Since Xu Youning wanted to find him get her revenge, she wouldn’t miss the chance .

He was right .

Mu Sijue’s relaxed behavior made Ah Guang even more furious .

Ah Guang shouted in a controlled voice, “Since you were willing to take such a risk, why don’t you risk telling Xu Youning the truth? She is at a more severe risk since she went back with Kang Ruicheng!”

“She won’t . ” Mu Sijue’s eyes disappeared in the night; it was completely dark . “She is the weapon Kang Ruicheng made and it is the most powerful one . She will be quite valued as long as she shows the hatred she has toward me when she returns . Kang Ruicheng would hurt a normal person, but he won’t do anything harmful to her . ”

“…” Ah Guang was greatly confused .

Mu Sijue took a look at Ah Guang and continued, “Besides, the reason why she didn’t want to stay was that she thought I was the one who caused her grandma’s death . Also… she doesn’t know how to face Su Yicheng and Jianan .

Ah Guang still didn’t understand completely . “So you want to let her have a freer life by letting her go back?”

“…” Mu Sijue didn’t say anything, but he didn’t deny it .

“Why didn’t you just let her go?” Ah Guang came up with another question, “Why did you lock her up and make up such a scene? Was it fun to waste time and effort?”

“Kang Ruicheng wouldn’t believe her if I just let her go,” Mu Sijue said, “Kang Ruicheng would be suspicious . If Xu Youning goes back easily, he will suspect her loyalty and will assume she may frame him . ”

“…” Ah Guang heard his words and was completely speechless .

On the surface, Mu Sijue was particularly cruel to Xu Youning . He not only killed her grandma but also wanted to kill her .

But in fact, he was extremely considerate with Xu Youning . He even thought ahead about the days when Xu Youning returned to Kang Ruicheng’s side .

What if Xu Youning knew about all this someday?

Ah Guang couldn’t think of an answer . Maybe… there would never be an answer .

“You can go back now . ” Mu Sijue lit a cigar, lifted it to his lips but then put it down as if he had recalled something . “Well, don’t hide the news that Xu Youning escaped . Let it be known . Just say that she hurt you and then she ran out . ”

Ah Guang was completely confused . “But I wasn’t hurt by her…”

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and firmly hit on Ah Guang’s chest with his fist . “Don’t you know how to pretend?”

“Ouch—” It was so heavy that Ah Guang bent over and stared at Mu Sijue in disbelief . “Seventh Brother…”

Mu Sijue frowned . “You haven’t learned yet?”

“Ye… yes . I know how . ” Ah Guang covered his chest with a troubled expression . Then he stopped for a minute and tentatively asked, “Seventh Brother, what do you plan to do in the future?”

Mu Sijue knew what Ah Guang was asking . He answered after a long silence, “It’ll be as if I never met Xu Youning . ”

“In your opinion… if she goes back and finds the real murderer of Granny Xu…” Ah Guang said after hesitating . He couldn’t imagine how much pain it would cost .

Mu Sijue interrupted Ah Guang, “Then it’s her thing, none of our business . ”

In fact, that would be the last thing Mu Sijue wanted to see .

According to Xu Youning’s character, she would risk her life for it if she knew the truth . He hoped that Xu Youning wouldn’t know for the rest of her life . He and Lu Boyan would take care of Kang Ruicheng .

If Xu Youning had to know the truth, he would rather tell her after he sent Kang Ruicheng to prison .

It was obvious that Ah Guang didn’t see through Mu Sijue’s mind . He just suddenly realized Xu Youning really had no relationship with them from that moment on .

He felt as if something were lost in his heart .

“Seventh Brother…” Ah Guang covered his chest . “It must be because of your punch . It feels painful here . ”

Mu Sijue turned around to look at Ah Guang—

The pain in his heart?

All of a sudden, Mu Sijue felt like he had been beaten severely by something . A strong pain was spread over his heart . He raised his lips in reflex, then he felt a warmth in his eyes .

He never thought about losing Xu Youning this way . Or it could be said that he never thought about letting her go .

But at the moment she was on her way back to Kang Ruicheng .

He would never cry over a stupid woman .

“Seventh Brother,” Ah Guang stared at Mu Sijue’s eyes and said, “Let’s get something to drink . ”

Mu Sijue smiled . “Let’s go . ”

That night, Ah Guang and Mu Sijue both got completely drunk .

Ah Guang talked a lot once he was drunk . He just leaned against the bar desk and kept mumbling .

“Seventh Brother, I know you like Xu Youning, really like her, a lot…”

“In fact… haha, I think she’s great . It’s normal for you to like her . She likes you too!”

Hearing his words, Mu Sijue swayed the glass in his hand . “You’re wrong . She likes Kang Ruicheng . ”

“Kang Ruicheng?” Ah Guang moved a finger to Mu Sijue’s eyes and swayed it . “I don’t think so . ”

“She was acting every minute she was with me . ” Mu Sijue drank some wine and said, “It was all fake, you know?”

“So Sister Youning really likes Kang Ruicheng?” Ah Guang seemed like he was about to cry . “How bad her taste is! How could she like that bastard!”

Bad taste?

Mu Sijue suddenly thought of something . He just bitterly smiled and drank up the wine on his glass .

His own taste was horrible too . Otherwise, how could he fall in love Xu Youning who had no female allure at all? Besides, he clearly knew she was the spy .

“Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother…” Ah Guang kept calling Mu Sijue’s name . It seemed that he had something to tell him .

Mu Sijue set down the glass and narrowed his eyes to look at Ah Guang . But Ah Guang just called his name without saying anything else . He rubbed his temple which ached and leaned on the bar counter .

While in a blur, Xu Youning’s face showed up in his brain . He grabbed at his chest but it wouldn’t stop the blunt pain which kept coming .

Wasn’t he drunk? How could he still feel the pain?

Mu Sijue closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep but the pain in his heart was getting even worse . It was like something pinned to his heart that became tighter and tighter as if it would tear his heart apart .

So it was wound in his heart .

When Su Jianan asked Lu Boyan for a divorce, Lu Boyan had described that pain to him, which he hadn’t understood back then .

He currently had a firsthand taste of it .

Unluckily, he wasn’t as fortunate as Lu Boyan . Su Jianan didn’t really want the divorce . In Xu Youning’s case, she couldn’t wait to leave his side .

A drop of transparent liquid fell from Mu Sijue’s eye, landing on the clean counter . Soon, it disappeared .

No one would ever know that Mu Sijue had cried that night .

The next day .

Aunt Zhou went out of the room in the early morning . But she didn’t smell the fragrance from the yard . Instead, it was the scent of wine .

She realized something and rushed to the counter . As she expected—Mu Sijue was leaning on the counter, completely unconscious . Ah Guang slept right on the floor with a wine bottle between his arms .

Aunt Zhou screamed “My God” and bent over to pat on Ah Guang’s face . “Ah Guang, wake up . ”

“Um…” Ah Guang just turned around and went back to sleep .

Aunt Zhou had no choice . She could only try her luck with Mu Sijue . But by the time she approached him, she sighed .

Mu Sijue had been through many difficulties, but that was the first time he had failed in love . As an elder, she naturally knew the pain brought by love was more terrible than anything that could happen in one’s career .

Aunt Zhou softly patted on Mu Sijue’s back . “Xiao Qi, time to wake up . ”

After hearing that voice, Mu Sijue opened his eyes and lifted his heavy head . “Aunt Zhou?”

“Yes . ” Aunt Zhou picked up the empty bottles on the counter and said, “You got drunk last night . ”

Mu Sijue frowned and the things that happened the previous night came to mind . He remembered them slowly . Xu Youning had left and then he used alcohol to numb his nerves .

Ha, there was one more side in which Lu Boyan was luckier than him . Lu Boyan could show the pain, but he couldn’t .

Once he opened his eyes, he had to be the Mu Sijue he used to be .

Mu Sijue got down from the bench and rubbed his temples . “Please wake up Ah Guang . I’ll get a shower upstairs . ”

Aunt Zhou looked at Mu Sijue’s figure . She wanted to stop him and tell him something, but she didn’t .

She knew better than anyone about the responsibilities Mu Sijue had . Mu Sijue had great power but no right to be sad . It was because he had many brothers to lead . Whatever went wrong, their lives would be in trouble .

He had to keep sober at all times, always being the strong and fierce Mu Sijue .

In the room upstairs .

Mu Sijue stood under the shower . He closed his eyes and allowed the cold water to run down from above .

Without guessing, he knew the reason why Kang Ruicheng asked Xu Youning to return .

What would happen next would most likely be a bloody storm .

He had to be sober enough to handle it .
