Chapter 190 Discovering Someone Eavesdropping
"There's no outward activity, but there are checkpoints everywhere, especially at the exits from the city, where the checks are very strict."
【Wow, this sounds so much like that incident?】
Mu Yunfei became more vigilant, wanting to hear what the other party was talking about that required such a thorough investigation.
Mu Zhen stroked his chin, looking deep in thought.
After Long Yuan and Emperor Tianhuang reached an agreement, all the male protagonists began to help Emperor Tianhuang seize power.
Mu Yunfei struck first, luring the old emperor into the temple where his deceased wife was enshrined, and then imprisoning him.
However, the old emperor escaped. Fearing that he would return to the palace prematurely and disrupt the Emperor's plans, the male protagonists set up a large number of troops to guard the palace.
They're still searching in the shadows, but that doesn't make sense, isn't the old emperor recuperating in the palace right now?
Two months ago, he caught a cold on his way back from the temple, and he hasn't recovered yet, but he did indeed show up in public.
Who is Mu Yunfei looking for? This scene isn't even in the main plot!
Mu Yunfei smiled and increasingly believed in the other person's feelings. Although he didn't have those memories, this was indeed his way of doing things.
Ah Huang and his gang sometimes like to procrastinate, why waste time? Just trap them directly.
The old emperor may not be able to say anything else, but he valued his son Ahuang quite a lot. Even if he couldn't keep him trapped and he escaped, as long as he couldn't get into the palace, the old emperor wouldn't make a fuss.
They might even help cover for the God of War to prevent damage to his reputation.
This kind of behavior of taking advantage of an elderly person's love for their son might seem despicable to others, but Mu Yunfei has never experienced so-called fatherly love, so he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
You'll have to step down sooner or later, so why not let your child go into the eye of the storm early and show their skills?
If he has a son in the future, he will definitely not restrict him too much, but will urge him to grow up quickly and take over the family business as soon as possible.
Anyone who dares to think about sponging off their parents will be beaten to a pulp.
The only thing he can do for his children is to give them a healthy environment to grow up in.
【etc! 】
Mu Zhen looked at Cui Meixin in surprise: "What do you mean, 'The day you escaped,' you were already out long ago?"
"Nonsense, you think you can lock me up? Not so easy! Hey!" Cui Meixin tugged at Mu Zhen, her eyes filled with hope: "Mu Yunfei really won't arrest me again?"
"I don't know if I'll arrest you or not, but I certainly won't hurt you for now. Tell me, when did you get out?"
"It's been two months!"
Mu Zhen gave her a thumbs up: "You're really something, taking so long to come find me."
Cui Meixin lowered her head, her face filled with sorrow: "It's not hard to find out about you. I want to find your maternal grandparents first."
"Their abilities are limited, and I'm really worried about them."
"It's alright. They haven't offended Mu Yunfei. They're currently staying in a sanatorium. Leave this to me. You should go back to that mental hospital. It's the safest place right now."
"I'm not going back!" Cui Meixin immediately retorted, glaring at the girl with a stern face: "Do you know what kind of place that is?"
They won't hurt you.
Yes, the people at the hospital didn't hurt me.
Those patients are constantly pushing my limits.
If I stay any longer, I'll be close to becoming a real mental patient. Don't underestimate the destructive power of mentally ill people.
She had no idea how many times she had been deceived by them. When they chatted, everything seemed normal, and they could have a lively conversation, but then an unimaginable twist would always happen.
His storytelling skills would probably impress even professional screenwriters.
What? Not seeing them? She wanted to, but wouldn't it be boring to stay in the hospital room all day alone?
She yearned for freedom most in her life and could not stand being bound by constraints.
Mu Zhen irritably touched her head, unwilling to go back. So what should he do with her?
As if sensing her daughter's concerns, Cui Meixin waved her hand dismissively: "Since you don't want to come with me, then go back to school."
"We'll talk about other things after we find your grandparents. I have somewhere to go."
"Where can you go?" Mu Zhen rolled her eyes.
"As long as Mu Yunfei doesn't arrest me, I can go anywhere. These past two months have been fine, haven't they? It's just that... I'm a little short on cash!" He pretended to be embarrassed and turned his head away.
When the unexpected happened, she didn't even have time to sell the jewelry that Governor Mu had bought for her before she was taken to a mental hospital.
As for savings, Governor Mu would not allow her to keep a secret stash of money.
If you want to buy something, just swipe his card.
Fortunately, not all of what she was wearing was taken away; she managed to hide some jewelry, but it only sold for a few million.
She's almost ruined them all; just the way she arranged for them to smuggle themselves out of the country nearly drained her dry.
I only have tens of thousands of yuan on hand now.
Didn't my daughter buy a mining plot? It's worth over 10 billion. Even a small portion of that would be enough for her to live on for a long time.
Mu Yunya didn't hesitate, taking out a card and handing it over generously: "Take it, spend it as you like, no need to save for me, I'll deposit money into it every month from now on."
Cui Meixin beamed with joy and excitedly took the package: "My dear daughter, how many are inside?"
"Ten billion!" Mu Zhen said casually.
"How much?" Cui Meixin was shocked. "Are you sure you want me to spend it however I want?"
"Ok!"
Seeing her daughter's nonchalant attitude, Cui Meixin swallowed hard and clutched the bank card tightly as if it were a precious treasure. She thought her daughter would only give her a million or so to make ends meet at most.
Who would have thought that they would spend a billion?
Even Governor Mu had never allowed her to spend so much money at once.
Even the properties he bought for her and her daughter were still registered under Governor Mu's own name.
To be precise, apart from the expensive jewelry that Governor Mu bought for her, her total expenses during her twenty years at the Governor's Mansion did not amount to more than one billion.
Governor Mu did not allow her to have her own career, and she did not like to be too extravagant when going out for fun, fearing that spending too much money would affect her daughter's status in Governor Mu's heart.
Touched, she covered her face, but then, turning her head, she saw a figure on the ground on the other side of the sculpture. Her breath caught in her throat, she sniffed, and deliberately took a few steps back: "You always said you'd wait until you grew up..."
He said he would earn lots and lots of money to support me. Although I felt comforted at the time, I never took it seriously.
I never thought this day would actually come. Her gaze never left her daughter, but her eyes kept glancing at someone else out of the corner of her eye.
Upon seeing a pair of familiar shoes, Cui Meixin stopped backing away.
Mu Zhen's mind was now preoccupied with how to arrange things for Cui Meixin: should she take her back to the dormitory or leave her with Yun Dan to keep the Bai family company?
Therefore, they did not notice Cui Meixin's little action.
“But don’t think that will make me…” Cui Meixin put the bank card into her handbag and turned to walk towards the road: “Never mind, come with me!”
"Where to go? I need to stay at school for now."
"It won't take you long, just an hour, hurry up and catch up!" Cui Meixin walked forward on her own, her attitude brooking no refusal.
Mu Zhen scratched his head and reluctantly followed.
