Chapter 599

Shi Ye came out of the room, walked behind Mu Tingxiao, followed Mu Tingxiao's gaze to look there, and then called him in a low voice: "Master."

"Is there any smoke?" Mu Tingxiao withdrew his gaze and looked back at him.

Although Shiye doesn't smoke much, he brings cigarettes with him at any time.

He took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, smoked half of a cigarette from it, and handed it to Mu Tingxiao.

Mu Tingxiao took out the cigarette, held it to his lips, and Shi Ye took out the lighter, making a gesture to light his cigarette.

Mu Tingxiao frowned slightly, reached out and took the lighter: "I'll do it myself."

With a "snap", the lighter was ignited, and a cluster of flames ignited.

Mu Tingxiao lit the cigarette himself, and returned the lighter to Shi Ye.

Shi Ye took the lighter and stood behind Mu Tingxiao, neither leaving nor speaking.

Since moving to the villa next door to Li Jiuheng, Mu Tingxiao basically stood here in his spare time, not knowing what he was thinking, except for dealing with matters.

Shi Ye could feel that what Mu Tingxiao was thinking about was Mu Nuannuan.

But he felt that what Mu Tingxiao was thinking in his heart was not all about Mu Nuannuan, but he couldn't figure out what else he was thinking.

"When do you think Li Jiuheng will start to act?"

Mu Tingxiao asked Shi Ye coldly, Shi Ye was taken aback for a moment, and after careful consideration, he said with some uncertainty: "It should be the nearest time?"

Mu Tingxiao took a deep breath of the cigarette, took it off and held it between his fingers, flicked the ash off with his long fingers, and asked in a rambling voice, "What day is it recently?"

"Young master, what do you mean?" On such matters, Shi Ye could still understand what Mu Tingxiao was thinking.

For Mu Tingxiao to ask him like this, it must be because he already has his own thoughts in his heart.

After Shi Ye finished speaking, he bowed slightly and waited for Mu Tingxiao's answer, but Mu Tingxiao fell silent.

It wasn't until Mu Tingxiao finished smoking that cigarette that he said, "Tomorrow at the latest, he will act."

He had just smoked a cigarette, and his voice was slightly hoarse from the smoke, making him appear even deeper.

Shi Ye's thinking was active, and his mind was running fast, and he immediately understood what Mu Tingxiao meant: "Young master, what you mean is that Li Jiuheng will act tonight at the earliest?"

"Isn't the young lady..." After seeing Mu Tingxiao's gloomy expression, Shi Ye didn't say anything later.

If Li Jiuheng would make a move tonight, then Mu Nuannuan's situation would become unsafe.

Mu Tingxiao didn't refute Shi Ye either, which meant that Shi Ye guessed right.

Mu Tingxiao tightened his fingers, squeezed the butt of the cigarette he had just smoked into his palm and crushed it, and then began to give orders aloud.

"Send someone overnight to check on a woman named Wan Wan. She is seriously ill and has been living on a ventilator. She may be related to Li Jiuheng by blood."

Shi Ye was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

"And..." Mu Tingxiao paused, but Shi Ye already knew what Mu Tingxiao was going to say.

Shi Ye said consciously: "I will send someone to keep an eye on Li Jiuheng's movements."

Mu Tingxiao didn't speak any more.

In recent days, Mu Tingxiao's words have become extremely rare.

In the past, Mu Tingxiao didn't talk much, but it won't be like now that eight out of ten sentences can't be answered. He has to guess everything to guess the meaning of Mu Tingxiao's words.

Fortunately, Shi Ye can guess the answers to those questions that Mu Tingxiao doesn't answer at present.

Shi Ye received Mu Tingxiao's order, turned around and left the room to carry it out.

When Mu Nuannuan slept until midnight, she felt a noise outside the room.

After she came to Li Jiuheng's place, she slept very lightly and was easily awakened.Especially at night, it is easy to wake up when there is a little movement.

A bedside lamp was turned on at the bedside, and Mu Nuannuan opened her eyes and was in a trance for a moment, before her vision returned to clarity.

She tilted her ears slightly, and concentrated on listening to the movement outside, but found that she couldn't hear anything.

Could it be that she had an auditory hallucination just now?
It's not impossible.

Or go out and have a look?
Mu Nuannuan thought of this in her heart, and got out of bed lightly.

Mu Mu was still in a deep sleep, Mu Nuannuan leaned over to wrap up the quilt for Mu Mu, and tucked the corners of the quilt.Then he turned to put on his coat.

She was about to put on her coat when she paused slightly.

What if there were actually people out there?
Mu Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, took off his coat, and put on all the clothes carefully.

He walked to the door and put on his shoes. After finishing the assembly, he reached out and turned the doorknob.

With a "squeak", the door was slowly opened.

Mu Nuannuan looked through the crack of the door and found that there was no one outside.

She felt relieved, and then opened the door a little wider.

However, when she opened the door wider, she saw Li Jiuheng standing one meter away from the door!

Li Jiuheng was dressed in a black overcoat, and stood there expressionlessly, his whole body exuded an aura of indifference, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.

A Luo stood behind him, and A Luo was followed by several bodyguards.

Li Jiuheng curled his lips, looking calm and gloomy, his voice was still gentle: "It seems that I didn't even have to knock on the door."

It's true that the voice is gentle, but there is a bit of bone-piercing coldness in that gentleness.

Mu Nuannuan probably understood in her heart that Li Jiuheng finally couldn't bear to act.

If it weren't for Mu Tingxiao's stimulation, he might still be sitting as stable as Mount Tai, and he would still be able to take the lead if he didn't take the initiative to make a move.

However, Mu Tingxiao's series of actions in the past two days made Li Jiuheng less calm.

He was irritated, and he was no longer so confident. After his emotions became uncontrollable, he couldn't help but want to make a move.

Mu Nuannuan held the door with one hand, and clenched her other hand involuntarily.

Having lived in Li Jiuheng's villa for so long, Mu Nuannuan suddenly had a feeling of "what should come has finally come" at this moment.

She was so calm that she herself was a little surprised.

"Is there something important that needs you to come to me with a human face at night?" Mu Nuannuan looked at Li Jiuheng calmly, without a trace of surprise or fear in her tone.

Li Jiuheng's eyes changed slightly: "You don't even know what I'm going to do, so you're not afraid?"

"When I conspired with you and let you take me away, I knew there would be such a day."

After all, she just woke up in the middle of the night, and Mu Nuannuan's hair was still a little messy. She reached out and hooked the hair hanging on her cheeks behind her ears, and seriously negotiated with Li Jiuheng: "If I go with you, you can let Mu Nuannuan go. Mu? She's just a child."

Li Jiuheng smiled: "Of course I am willing to let her go."

The more he was like this, the more Mu Nuannuan didn't believe him.

Mu Nuannuan pursed her lips and said, "I want to go back to my room to get a scarf, can I?"
