Ji Mujue was keenly aware of the flaws in her words: "Yeah? Zhuyi, you..."

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi bit the tip of her tongue regretfully. It seemed that insomnia did affect her mind and intelligence, so she quickly smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm fine."

But now that Ji Mujue has noticed it, she will no longer be perfunctory by her vague denial: "I'm afraid your dark circles are even more exaggerated than a star with smoky makeup, so don't be so stubborn, go back to sleep for a while, Later, I will ask the maid to deliver breakfast to your room."

Hearing his thoughtful words, Shang Zhuyi smiled weakly: "It's okay, I won't be able to sleep when I go back, so let's have breakfast with you."

Saying that, she took Ji Mujue's hand, and planned to go downstairs, but Ji Mujue stood still, without any intention of moving, Shang Zhuyi turned to look at him with some puzzlement: "Mujue?"

Ji Mujue took a deep look at Shang Zhuyi, and then suddenly said, "Zhuyi, I'll take you away."

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi frowned involuntarily: "What do you mean? Are you going to drive me away?"

Ji Mujue quickly denied: "No, it's just that the situation has become more complicated now, and I'm worried that you and the child will be wronged."

"Then do you think that placing me and my child in a remote villa so that we can't see or touch you is taking care of us? Have you ever thought that maybe it will only make me more worried and endure? I can't stop thinking about it." Shang Zhuyi lowered his voice and said slowly.

Naturally, Ji Mujue has already thought of these things, but in comparison, he still thinks that letting Shang Zhuyi stay here will cause her more pain, and this pain will be multiplied and reflected on Ji Mujue himself in the end.

Looking at the struggling and entangled expression in Ji Mujue's eyes, Shang Zhuyi raised his hand again, and said in a slow tone; "It's still the same sentence, how about taking one step at a time? If things really come to that point, even if you Not to mention, for the sake of the children, I will propose a temporary escape, now let me try to continue to stand behind you, okay?"

Hearing her sincere words, Ji Mujue couldn't hold other emotions besides being touched, so he nodded and pursed his lips and said, "Okay..."

Seeing this, Shang Zhuyi curled the corners of his lips and deliberately smiled: "Okay, people are like iron and rice are steel, let's go have breakfast first."

Saying that, she stretched out her hand to hold Ji Mujue again, and dragged her to go downstairs together.

However, just as they were seated, there was the sound of the door opening from the guest room upstairs, and then a servant came out and trotted to Ji Mujue; "Sir, Miss Zhao is awake and is looking for you."

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi's hand that was just reaching out to pour a cup of tea froze in mid-air.

Ji Mujue looked up at her, pursed his lips and remained silent for a while, then turned around and said to the servant: "I'll go upstairs to have a look."

After finishing speaking, he started to walk upstairs, while Shang Zhuyi still sat there without moving, her eyes biting her lips in a lonely way, after a while, she took a deep breath, and the slightly flushed The eye sockets were forced back, and then continued the action of pouring tea as if nothing had happened.

When Ji Mujue walked into the room, he saw Zhao Qingjie sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in his eyes. Seeing him coming, it cleared up. She sniffed, the smile on her face gradually couldn't be concealed, she stood up: "Master Mu, you are here."

Seeing her innocent and happy expression, Ji Mujue frowned slightly: "Do you remember what happened when you passed out last night?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qingjie also seemed very surprised: "fainted? Didn't I fall asleep?"

Ji Mujue pursed his lips helplessly, not wanting to continue the topic; "No...are you hungry? I'll ask the helper to bring breakfast."

Zhao Qingjie walked slowly in front of Ji Mujue, her face was blushing shyly, she squeezed Ji Mujue's sleeve: "Okay, but, can you eat with me?"

As soon as the words of refusal came to his lips, Ji Mujue remembered what the doctor told him last night, so he stopped, and after a long silence, he nodded with difficulty: "Okay, wait a minute."

After speaking, he threw off his sleeves, turned and walked to the living room.

Hearing that Ji Mujue agreed, Zhao Qingjie didn't bother anymore, but obediently sat on the sofa and waited.

Coming to the living room, Ji Mujue glanced at Shang Zhuyi who was sitting alone at the dining table: "Zhuyi, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Shang Zhuyi interrupted him: "Are you going to have dinner with Miss Zhao?"

Ji Mujue didn't expect that she had already guessed it, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and after a while, he nodded in embarrassment; "Yes..."

Shang Zhuyi still didn't turn his head to look, but smiled deliberately, as if telling Ji Mujue that she was not unhappy; "It's okay, it just so happens that Sister Jing is going to get up soon, she just needs to accompany me, you go .”

Little did they know that the more she looked like this, the more sorry Ji Mujue felt: "Bamboo clothes..."

"Ring bell bell!"

Just when he was about to explain, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting his words.

Ji Mujue had no choice but to reach out and pick up the phone; "Who is it?"

"Is it Mu Jue?" A male voice came from the other end of the phone. Ji Mu Jue felt a little familiar, but he couldn't be sure for a while.

"I am, who are you?"

The other party announced a name: "I'm Li Yi, don't you remember your old classmate?"

Hearing this name, Ji Mujue frowned and thought for a moment before he remembered: "Oh, it's you!"

After finishing speaking, Ji Mujue asked again in doubt: "After graduating from university, you stayed at your alma mater, didn't you? Why would you think of calling me?"

Hearing this, Li Yi, who was far away across the ocean, chuckled lightly: "What? Why can't I contact my old classmates if I have nothing to do?"

In normal times, Ji Mujue might have to exchange some pleasantries with him, but right now too many things make him irritated, so he lowered his voice; "Old classmate, don't beat around the bush, just speak up when you have something to say."

So, there was a cynical chuckle on the other end of the phone: "Well, it's not that I have something to ask you, but the local police here have something to look for you. They said they called you before, but they didn't get in touch. You, so please let me come to you."

"Local police?" Ji Mujue was even more puzzled; "What do you want me for?"

Li Yi clicked his tongue; "I don't know the specifics, it seems that a criminal gang was arrested a few days ago, and one of the suspects was the one who was strong...cough cough, who hurt your confidant, so The police are going to re-check the victim’s statement, but they can’t find her, so they can only go directly to her temporary guardian—you.”

"You said it was Qing Jie's case?" Ji Mujue frowned even tighter.

After that incident happened that year, Zhao Qingjie had been missing for a while, and when she was looking for her, the gangster had already got the news and hid. In addition, Zhao Qingjie refused to accept the physical examination, so no direct evidence could be obtained , So in that case, there was only one Ji Mujue's alarm record, but it was never resolved in the end. I didn't expect to hear the news of the criminal's arrest after so many years.

Li Yi gave a soft "hmm": "Yes, that's the name. After so many years, I almost forgot about that girl."

However, Ji Mujue can't be as lenient as he is. When he thinks about it these years, he feels guilty. Now that he has the opportunity to make the criminal pay the due price, he will naturally not let it go: "Please tell the local police for me. , I will bring Qing Jie together and fully cooperate with them in solving this case."

Hearing this, Li Yi said lightly "Yes" again: "I will pass it on. After they receive the news, they should want to contact you as soon as possible, so you'd better provide me with a 24-hour phone number to find you." Contact information."

Ji Mujue had no objection to this, he quickly reported a series of numbers: "This is my private number, you can call me anytime."

"OK!" Li Yi let out a relaxed and happy voice on the phone, as if he was happy for his glorious completion of the task: "Overseas calls are very expensive, I'm not a rich man like you, let's put it this way first , I will contact you again when I have a chance.”

Ji Mujue didn't interrupt the conversation on the phone, he said "um" casually, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shang Zhuyi immediately asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Hearing Shang Zhuyi's voice, Ji Mujue snapped back to his senses, turned his head and told her the news just now.

Shang Zhuyi's eyes widened in surprise, but in the end he let out a long sigh of relief: "If this is the case, then there is an explanation, but, in Miss Zhao's current state, can she really accept the hearing?"

Ji Mujue pinched the center of his brows with some embarrassment: "This is indeed a problem, but we can't let those bastards go unpunished because of this, so I will discuss with Sister Jing to see if there is any way she can protect Qing Jie from being severely stimulated." On the premise, let’s ask about the process of that incident back then.”

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi couldn't think of a better way, so he could only nod his head, indicating that she knew.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, and a helper walked up to Ji Mujue with a troubled expression on her face. She peeked at Shang Zhuyi, struggled for a long time, and finally summoned up the courage to say: "Sir, Zhao...Miss Zhao Why don't you go back?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Shang Zhuyi timidly, as if she was worried that the weak woman in front of her would burst out and overturn the table in the next second.

But Shang Zhuyi didn't do that, she just showed a somewhat bitter smile, and said to Ji Mujue: "Go and do your work..."

After finishing speaking, she took another deep look at Ji Mujue, then turned around first, and walked to the dining table alone.

Looking at the back of Shang Zhuyi, Ji Mujue secretly sighed in his heart, then turned around slowly, and walked upstairs with the helper.
