Chapter 1146
The boy did not reply; it was, after all, his first time looking at his injury .
The situation was critical at that time . When he saw Mu Sheng holding the walking stick aloft, he subconsciously dashed in front of his mother to shield her from it .
It was primal instinct; he did not pause to ponder for long . Before his brain could react, his body shot forward like an arrow!
He then felt excruciating pain shot through his acromion the moment the cane landed on him; it was enough to make him black out .
A child’s physique was unlike an adult’s in that a young body was still vulnerable and had yet to develop wholly .
This beating would have meant nothing to Mu Yazhe if he had been the one receiving it . However, for this frail boy, it was enough to dislocate his shoulder!
Still, he was happy that he had reacted fast enough at that time .
He could not imagine the consequences if he were a tad slower and the cane landed on his mother’s head, instead .

The thought itself was enough to cause his eyes to freeze with hatred .
The physician removed the blood clots and then put a hot compress over his injury .
The pain endured during the process was naturally indescribable . The boy would take a few sharp inhalations when the pain got too much but, otherwise, bore through the whole ordeal .
All the while, he took out a USB stick containing the data and documents he copied and gave it to Li Hanlin . He then ordered him to track down the license plate number .
He would not give up any chance, even if it was slim .
The boy was concerned over Mu Wanrou’s ulterior motive, which he unfortunately had no cognizance when she kidnapped his mother .
However, he was pretty sure that she would make her next move soon!

The boy ruminated for a while before his eyes lit up as a thought struck him!
D*mn…
“Umph…”
He got up so suddenly and intensely that he strained his muscles, which caused him to wince painfully .
Hugging his injured shoulder, he took in a sharp breath .
The agent noted his anxiety and probed . “Sir, what’s wrong?”
“I’m afraid…”

“Huh?”
He spun around suddenly and locked gazes with his assistant . “I’m afraid that Mu Wanrou’s next target is me!”
His subordinate was stunned momentarily before he smiled . “Sir, you are safe now! We’ll make sure that you are well-protected; don’t you worry!”
The boy frowned . “I’m not worried about myself!” …Rather of my twin!
The Mu residence .
Mu Yichen slowly walked to the window and pulled the curtain a slit apart . He looked out and saw that the troops had changed even though the place was still heavily guarded .
A black commercial car slowly rolled into the grand entrance of the residence .
He could recognize the vehicle as the one that sent him back and forth from school every day .
He squinted his eyes to have a better look . There was no one in the back seat; it looked like his younger brother had managed to escape successfully .
He frowned slightly, though his heart was more settled knowing this . Going back to the bed once more, he lay down lightly on its bedding .
Just as he got back to the bed, he heard light footfalls along the corridor outside the door .
He shot open his eyes in shock .
His senses were unusually sharp; hence, he could swiftly detect even the slightest movements .
As the footsteps drew closer, he turned more vigilant .
