Chapter 72
Du Zhong kept his word. After a few days, Chen Mubai went to visit Chen Mingmo. He came back quickly and said nothing after he came back, and his face was very calm.
Chen Mingmo's case was suppressed again and again, for fear that too many people would be involved, no one dared to move. Du Zhong's attitude was also very vague, as if he had entered a dead end.
Gu Jiusi accompanied Gu to the hospital for physical examination. They went out together. She thought he would come back very late, but when she came back, she saw Chen Mubai sitting on the sofa in a daze. He was dressed in black, perhaps because he had been sitting for a long time, and his body was covered in chills, and all his emotions were gathered in those narrow and deep eyes.
She hadn't seen Chen Mubai like this for a long time. She was gloomy and weird, and it was hard to settle for the weather. People couldn't guess what he was thinking and felt afraid.
Gu Jiusi turned around and signaled that Gu Guo went upstairs to rest. She stood there for a long time and didn't dare to go forward.
Gu Jiusi didn't know how long he had been standing or how long he had watched. He only knew that the quiet person suddenly raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. When he saw her, he was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled, sitting there stretched out his hand at her. His eyes were filled with tiny light and smiles, and the smile spread from his eyes, and the doting had stained his eyebrows at some point.
"Xiaojiu, come here."
His voice was gentle and affectionate, like the long and continuous snow in the winter of the south, gentle but to the bone.
Gu Jiusi suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year, under the sun in front of the temple gate, he also called her over so lazyly, pulled her hair, wrapped her hair, and braided it into the concentric knot.
She subconsciously touched the concentric knot on her side, and she kept carrying the same heart with her.
She looked up at Chen Mubai. He was gloomy and cold, but he was so gentle to her that she felt incredible.
Gu Jiusi was embarrassed by his eyes, turned her face aside, and muttered in a low voice, "When you call me like this, why do I think Xiaojiu is also a dog name?"
He walked in his direction while saying that, and handed his hand to his hands.
Chen Mubai pulled her and sat on his lap, and was amused by her, "That happens to be a pair with Xiaobai, Xiaobai Xiaojiu, very good match."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Chen Jingkang exclaim. When the two of them looked over at the same time, Chen Jingkang had turned around and said tremblingly, "That... Young Master, I didn't see anything! Lu Zhengcheng is waiting for you outside!"
Chen Jingkang's words of 300 taels of silver here made Gu Jiusi jump up suddenly, and he blushed and pushed Chen Mubai out, "Then you go quickly!"
She reacted too quickly, and Chen Mubai felt that her arms were empty, and she rushed a few steps away, and he couldn't help laughing.
Gu Jiusi pushed him and glared at him angrily, "Stop laughing!"
Chen Mubai knew that she was embarrassed, so when she left, she captured the witness Chen Jingkang and prepared to "kill and silence him."
Chen Mubai and Lu Zhengcheng came to the teahouse again. When Lu Zhengcheng wanted to follow in, he was stopped by Chen Mubai, "I'll just go by myself."
Lu Zhengcheng nodded and stood outside waiting for him.
This time, only Du Zhong was there, and the middle-aged man disappeared last time.
Chen Mubai got straight to the point, "You probably want to close the case as soon as possible."
Du Zhong looked at him leisurely, "What are the great ideas of Mr. Mu?"
Chen Mubai's face darkened, and his voice was firm and low, "Chen Mingmo can't say anything, and will not involve anyone. This is just an ordinary intentional homicide."
After hearing this, Du Zhong's face sterned, pondered for a while, nodded, "Yes."
Chen Mubai looked at him and spoke slowly, "And, he didn't kill anyone."
Du Zhong was stunned and then laughed, "Mr. Mu doesn't want to find someone to come out to take the blame, then I won't be able to handle the job."
Chen Mubai didn't laugh, "I will definitely not make it difficult for you to do it, this person will definitely satisfy everyone."
Du Zhong stared at Chen Mubai carefully for a long time, "Then I'm waiting for the good news from Mr. Mu."
Chen Mubai came out and got into the car and breathed a sigh of relief. He closed his eyes and said silently in his heart, "This is probably the best ending."
Tang Ke probably heard some news, and rushed in in a hurry during supper, yelling at Chen Mubai, "You are crazy, you!"
After yelling, he found that Jiang Shengzhuo, who was also furious, was standing not far from him. Chen Mubai looked at the two of them with some amusement. Jiang Shengzhuo seemed to be startled and looked at him not talking. Tang Ke was embarrassed to see him, touched his nose and smiled dryly, "Haha, it's such a coincidence, you have a guest here."
Jiang Shengzhuo and Tang Ke are not familiar with each other, but because of Chen Mubai, they have met several times, but they are only limited to meeting each other and never talked.
In Jiang Shengzhuo's eyes, Chen Mubai and Tang Ke are friends with wine and meat, the most unreliable kind.
In Tang Ke's eyes, Chen Mubai and Jiang Shengzhuo were not friends at all. They had the inexplicable hatred of "He Shengliang", the kind that the king did not see the king.
After a long period of silence, Chen Mubai asked, "Have you two made an appointment?"
Tang Ke wanted to ask something, but Chen Mubai stopped him with a look, "I have something to say in the study."
The two of them went upstairs to the study, and Chen Mubai continued to slowly accompany Gu Zhuo and talk to Gu Jiusi.
Recently, he kept everything he did without telling Gu Jiusi, as if he was coaxing her as a flower in the greenhouse. Gu Jiusi was a little annoyed when he was unsure. Seeing that he was still smiling like a person, he threw away the words coldly, "If you have something to do, go and do not sit here!"
Gu Guo looked at Gu Jiusi with dissatisfaction, then smiled and said to Chen Mubai, "Don't let others wait, go up quickly, there will be opportunities to have dinner together in the future."
When Chen Mubai saw Gu Jiusi's cold face, he knew why she was angry. He shook her hand under the table and was thrown away by her. He hesitated and went upstairs soon.
The dining table suddenly became deserted. Gu Guo sighed and persuaded Gu Jiusi, "What happened to his father, he was a little anxious. Even if he said and did, you should be more considerate. But I think he has not changed to you, but you are a little too much."
Gu Jiusi was also a little annoyed. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She seemed to have become much older recently and always came up for no reason, and she couldn't even hold back.
As soon as Chen Mubai entered the study, two cups flew towards him in unison. As soon as he turned around and avoided, he heard Tang Ke and Jiang Shengzhuo swearing in unison, "Are you sick?"
Chen Mubai walked over leisurely and poured two cups of tea and handed it over, "Don't worry, say one by one."
Tang Ke glanced at Jiang Shengzhuo and spoke first, "Why did you resign?"
Jiang Shengzhuo looked at Chen Mubai in shock when he heard this, but Chen Mubai calmly drank tea.
In order to find Gu Jiusi's father to withdraw the people sent to the United States today, Tang Ke also brought him a message. Chen Mubai submitted his resignation to the American S&L company. The company expressed deep regret for his father's affairs and tried his best to keep him, but he declined.
Although this industry has many talents, Chen Mubai still has some status in the industry. Once his departure without one person is spread, it will definitely cause an uproar and become a target for competitors to grab. No matter where he goes, he will be a guest of honor that others can't ask for. For S&l Company, it is a considerable invisible loss, which is also the reason why S&l Company has been dealing with it in a low-key manner. Chen Mubai himself also means this.
Tang Ke didn't understand. In fact, Chen Mubai no longer needed to rely on the Chen family. Even if something happened to Chen Mingmo, he didn't need to resign. Even if he didn't want to stay in this company, it would be understandable to change the environment, but he didn't seem to have the intention.
Chen Mubai replied lightly, "If you don't want to do it, just quit."
"Hey, you..." Tang Ke was interrupted by Jiang Shengzhuo before he finished speaking. He threw a bunch of keys in front of Chen Mubai, "What does it mean if you give me all those cars?"
Most of those cars are limited edition models. In recent years, Chen Mubai and Jiang Shengzhuo have been fighting for the car. Those cars are too ostentatious. Jiang Shengzhuo has to worry about the elders of the Jiang family who dare not make a big deal, so they are basically snatched away by Chen Mubai, but now they are suddenly sent back, which is really hard for him to understand.
Chen Mubai leaned lazily on the sofa, glanced at the key on the table, and spoke indifferently, "Anyway, I don't want to play with the car anymore. I think I'll give it to you if you like it."
Jiang Shengzhuo glanced at him, "No reward is received without merit! He is dedicated to his work, either a traitor or a thief!"
If it were in the past, the two of them would have been quarreling, but now Chen Mubai is not angry and chuckled, "Then think that the old man did something wrong. I will compensate Qiao Lexi for him. You can take it for her first."
Chen Mubai's series of actions made Tang Ke and Jiang Shengzhuo smell the abnormality. No matter what they said, he was not angry. He was a good-tempered nonsense, which was simply...
Tang Ke and Jiang Shengzhuo looked at each other, and no one said those words, and the three of them suddenly became quiet.
Before leaving, Jiang Shengzhuo explained, "My second brother and I didn't stumbling about your old man."
The second brother he mentioned was Qiao Yu, and he has been following Qiao Lexi since he was a child and called Qiao Yu's second brother.
Chen Mubai nodded, and lazily sighed, "I know, people like Chen Mingmo deserve it."
His tone was full of scattering and indifferent, and there was a sarcasm towards Chen Mingmo between the lines, as if it was a pleasure to see the bad guys being repaid.
Jiang Shengzhuo sighed and said nothing, and opened the door and walked out.
That night, Gu Jiusi felt thirsty and was about to get up to drink water. He found that Chen Mubai seemed to have not been asleep. He looked at her with his right hand and his head. His eyes were clear and he didn't know how long he had been watching.
Gu Jiusi suddenly felt a little panicked and reached out to shake his hand. The air conditioner temperature was not low, but his hand was a little cold, "What's wrong?"
Chen Mubai held her hand and put it in his palm and squeezed it, "It's okay, I can't sleep after having a dream, I just want to see you."
Gu Jiusi was even more panicked, and called his name at a loss, "Chen Mubai..."
Chen Mubai smiled, hugged her in his arms and kissed her, and calmed down his voice, "What are you afraid of? I'm not here."
It was late at night and the heavy curtains covered the moonlight outside the window. Only a wall lamp was left in the room, shining with orange warm light. Gu Jiusi was leaning in Chen Mubai's arms. He listened to his heartbeat, but he couldn't feel at ease.
He put his hand on her chest and asked after a while, "Why are your heartbeat so fast?"
Gu Jiusi held his hand tightly. She never knew that she would be so fragile and worried about gains and losses. "I don't know what you are busy with these days, I don't know what you are thinking in your heart. I'm a little scared... I don't know what I am afraid of, but a heart is always not up and down, so I lose my temper with you."
Chen Mubai's chin gently stroked the top of her head, and chuckled and joked, "How could that be? As far as I know, Gu Jiusi is already invincible."
Gu Jiusi buried in his arms and replied in a low voice, "Gu Jiusi will not be afraid of anything, but Xiaojiu will be afraid."
