Huangfu Liyue smiled modestly.

"If grandpa boasted so much, I would be proud."

Mu Jingchen picked up a vegetable and put it in his mouth, and then smiled to prove to his grandfather: "Grandpa, this is not an exaggeration, even this vegetable is much sweeter than usual."

As he said that, he looked at Liyue, and his smile became a little more gentle.

"Liyue, did you buy a new recipe? I remember you used to cook vegetables without other side dishes."

Huangfu Liyue replied vaguely: "I just learned this on the Internet, and I don't know if it's delicious, so I wanted to make it and try it, but I didn't expect it to be really successful."

Without giving him a chance to speak again, she picked up the serving chopsticks and gave the vegetables to grandpa and the child respectively.

"Grandpa, eat more if you like."

"Okay, Liyue, eat more yourself."

Huangfu Liyue watched them eat the food with a smile on her face, but she didn't move her chopsticks.

Mu Jingchen saw it and pinched some for her.

"Liyue, you are the one who needs nourishment most in our family."

"That's right, then I'll eat more."

She responded with a smile, ignored the vegetables in the bowl, picked up a piece of ribs, put it in her mouth and chewed it with relish.

Seeing that she had such an appetite, Mu Jingchen started eating too.

-

It's past nine o'clock in the evening.

Mu Jingchen and Huangfu Liyue returned to the room.

He was about to help her change her shoes as usual, but she stopped her with her hand.

"Jingchen, there is something I want to discuss with you."

He stopped and sat down beside her.

"You said."

"The incision on my body is still recovering, I thought... shall we sleep in separate rooms during this time?"

When he made this request suddenly, he paused, and then said: "I know your body hasn't recovered yet, so I should be extra careful at night. I guess I haven't touched you in the past two nights, right?"

The bed in the room was big enough. Although they slept together these two nights, he was very honest and just slept beside her.

But Huangfu Liyue said: "You will accidentally bump into me when you turn over at night, maybe you don't know it."

Mu Jingchen was speechless and could only agree.

"From tonight on, I'll sleep next door. Call me if you need anything, I can hear you."

"Ah."

She showed a trace of shame: "I have wronged you, Jingchen."

Mu Jingchen thought it was a trivial matter, so he smiled and said nothing.

He squatted down, continued to change her shoes, and let her enter the bathroom to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, he took the hair dryer to dry her hair again.

After doing all this, he asked her to go to bed early before going to the next room.

Huangfu Liyue sat on the bed in her pajamas, staring ahead, not feeling sleepy at all.

After sitting like this for more than an hour, she suddenly lifted the quilt and got up and walked out of the room.

The lights in the corridor were still on, but it was quiet everywhere, as if everyone had fallen asleep.

She opened the door of the next room and looked in through the crack.

Mu Jingchen lay down on the bed neatly dressed and seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Jing Chen?"

She called twice, but there was no response from him.

Then, she closed the door and continued to check other rooms.

Like Mu Jingchen, Mr. Mu and the children also fell asleep.

She returned to the room, picked out light clothes from the closet, avoided the servants at home, and strode away from the other garden.

-

Tan family.

Tan Yunliang stood on the open-air balcony, looking at the night scene in the distance.

Once the son left, he was the only living person left in the family, and it was inevitable that he would feel lonely.

In the dead of night, he began to regret the cruel words he said to Tan Jilin.

Anyway, that was his only son.

At this moment, he could only look into the distance and sigh.

"Ji Lin, when my father fulfills this wish and is praised by the world, you will know that everything I did was right!"

When he looked up to the sky and sighed, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Looking back, there was only a ray of cold wind blowing.

He tightened his coat and was about to enter the room, but he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye.

"Who?"

He looked over there suddenly, but the black shadow had quickly come behind him.

Before he could react, a rope tied in a loop was suddenly wrapped around his neck.

He was about to yell when the rope was slowly tightened, completely strangling his neck.

"who are you?"

He couldn't see who was behind him, and suddenly fell into endless panic.

The man behind him was very strong, and before he could resist, he dragged him to the side of the guardrail by the rope.

"Help--"

As soon as he yelled two words, his whole body was lifted up.

Suddenly being lifted into the air, he was so frightened that he kicked his limbs and shouted, "Come on! Help, save me!"

Unexpectedly, in the next second, he was thrown from the roof of the building.

"what--"

After a helpless cry, he found that he was not dead, but stopped in mid-air.

What made him stop was the rope around his neck.

Immediately, his face flushed, the veins on his forehead popped up, and he felt that he couldn't breathe.

"Help--"

He tried his best to grab the rope with his hands, trying to let himself breathe.

At this moment, he raised his head and finally saw the man's face.

Her flowing long hair swayed with the breeze, her cold white complexion was in stark contrast to the night, and her pair of smart eyes were smiling, under the reflection of the moonlight, her beauty was soul-stirring.

But in Tan Yunliang's view, it looked like a ghost urging him to death.

"Huang, Huangfu Liyue!"

He seemed to see a ghost, his pupils were wide open.

"No, you, you are not Huangfu Liyue..."

Huangfu Liyue ignored him, seeing him struggling in pain, she tied the rope in her hand to the guardrail in satisfaction.

"Dean Tan, thank you for helping me occupy this body. In order to thank you, I came here to give you this gift. Do you like it?"

In the breeze, she laughed more wantonly.

After leaving these words, she turned around and left, leaving Tan Yunliang hanging here alone.

The more Tan Yunliang struggled, the tighter the rope was tightened, and after a while he began to roll his eyes.

-

the next day.

During breakfast, Lin Ze broke into the restaurant.

"Boss, something went wrong!"

Everyone at the table looked at him.

Realizing that the voice was too loud, Lin Ze came to Mu Jingchen's side and whispered, "Tan Yunliang almost died last night."

Mu Jingchen was a little surprised.

"What happened?"

"I heard that someone broke into Tan's house late at night and hung Tan Yunliang on the third floor. He was almost strangled to death!"

"what?"

Mu Jingchen scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to his mouth, almost scalding it.

Mr. Mu hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Mu Jingchen put down the spoon and said calmly, "Grandpa, it's just the company's business. You should eat the small things first."

After speaking, he took Lin Ze out.

There was no one at the door.

"I heard that the security system of the Tan family is stronger than that of the research institute. The servants in the family are still robots developed by Tan Yunliang himself. Who can sneak in?"

Lin Ze glanced at the door of the restaurant and saw no one came out, so he said, "Tan Yunliang reported to the police and said yes, it was... madam."
