Mu Ci nodded. Uncle Liu was right about Gu Ming.
“President Mu, should we investigate this matter?” Gu Ming frowned and asked softly. He did not know what this matter had to do with the Mu Family and President Mu.
Mu Ci looked at Gu Ming. “Yes, we have to investigate because I might be the target behind this matter.”
Gu Ming was shocked.
Mu Ci’s expression was very calm. “Gu Ming, no matter what happens in the future, if you have to make a choice, save Bei Shuo first before saving me. I’ve also told Uncle Liu and the others about this. I’ll tell you solemnly today.”
Gu Ming was shocked and nodded solemnly. “I’ll remember President Mu.”
Only then did Mu Ci instruct him to do something.
With every word he said, Gu Ming’s expression became more serious and his back became straighter. He understood that Mu Ci had already listed him as a trustworthy person.
To him, this was an affirmation of his character and ability.
Mu Ci arranged everything and returned to Bei Shuo’s side to take a nap in his wheelchair. Xiaoling gently woke him up and spoke silently. Uncle Liu was back.
Liu Ming was in a sorry state. His tired and travel-worn appearance made him look a little old.
Mu Ci personally poured him a cup of tea. “Sit down and talk slowly.”
Liu Ming didn’t stand on ceremony. He took the tea and drank it in one gulp. Mu Ci poured a second cup into his hand. He drank it all again before opening his mouth. His voice was a little hoarse. “Young Master, fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you. It’s all done.”
Mu Ci’s eyes lit up. This was finally good news.
Liu Ming’s expression was solemn. “Young Master, things might be far more complicated than we thought. We still can’t find out who’s behind it. This person must be very important. The other party tried his best to take her away first. In the end, he actually wanted to kill her when he was defeated. His methods are really too cruel.”
“Is she An Ya or not?” Mu Ci asked.
Liu Ming looked at Mu Ci with indescribable pain in his eyes. “Young Master, I can confirm that she is An Ya, but I can also confirm that An Ya died in front of me back then.”
Mu Ci was stunned. He reached out and placed his hand on Liu Ming’s shoulder. “Uncle Liu, there are many things in this world that are unexpected. Since she’s here, we can always find out the truth. Don’t be anxious. The most important thing now is to treat her illness and find a reliable doctor. We can’t use Bei Shuo yet. Firstly, her injuries are serious. Secondly, she’s too emotional. She might not be able to hide this secret. What do you think?”
Liu Ming nodded. “I’ve already arranged for a doctor and a nurse to follow her. Her life is no longer in danger. We can do a checkup when the conditions allow it. Or, we can send her overseas!”
Mu Ci said, “Let’s hide it first. We don’t know the other party’s power, so we can’t overreach ourselves. What about Dr. Li?”
Liu Ming said coldly, “He’s dead. He was the one who wanted to silence her at the last moment!”
Mu Ci did not expect Dr. Li to be so stubborn. He sighed and said, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t get him to tell me anything.”
Liu Ming also said hatefully, “It’s considered letting him off easy! I’ve already gotten someone to investigate his residence. Young Master, don’t worry. We won’t even let go of his ancestral grave!”
Mu Ci tapped his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair. “Liu Ming, do you think the mastermind is from the Mu Family?”
Liu Ming hesitated. “Young Master, I can’t think of anyone in the Mu Family who has such great ability. We actually couldn’t sense it at all previously, but if they’re not from the Mu Family, why would they target us like this?”
The room was very quiet. Only Mu Ci’s soft tapping on the armrest could be heard. “This person called An Ya should have gotten in trouble shortly after I was homed, right? If nothing happened to her, she would have been tortured for more than 20 years. How much hatred does this person have for her that he has to torture her so? Check An Ya’s social connections. Who has such a deep hatred for her?”
Liu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly. “An Ya came from a poor family. She was raised by her older sister. Even if she had enemies, who at her level could have such power and use such financial and human resources to control her all these years?”
Mu Ci nodded in agreement and said softly, “In other words, only someone with the Mu Family’s background can do this. And the person who hates her the most in the Mu Family is my mother.”
Liu Ming did not speak..
