Miss Mu and the Canary

When Mu Fuqian said this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, which frightened everyone in the house speechless.

"You, what did you say? What did you say about Qing'er?" Mrs. Mu's mentality, which had finally calmed down, collapsed in an instant, and she rushed forward, "Brother, tell me, what's wrong with Qing'er?! Under house arrest?!"

Not only Mrs. Mu, but the old lady, Mu Yiqian, Uncle Mu and Mu Xing were all confused.

This matter should not have been spoken out in public to cause panic, but Mu Fuqian was distracted by the matter of Xuexue just now, and only then did he realize it.Suppressing the grief in his heart, Mu Fuqian shouted: "Calm down! I have experienced many things in the past many years, so I won't mess up my hands and feet!"

Calmly, he said: "The call is from Jin Yuan who is beside Qing'er, saying that he followed Qing'er just after returning from Shenyang, and was arrested at the train station. Both Qing'er and the secretary were taken away, and only he took advantage of it He ran out randomly. After inquiring about the news in the middle of the night, he had time to call back to report. As for Shenyang, I’m afraid the night is not a trivial matter, and he can’t tell the details.”

After finishing speaking, he said again: "It's getting late now, talking too much is useless, it will only add to the trouble. Mother, Qing Jia, you all go to rest. I'll go to inquire about the news, and I will clarify the matter with Yiqian, what to do Whatever plans you have, you have to wait until dawn to make plans."

The old lady was also rarely sober, and agreed: "What Fuqian said is that we are crying here to no avail, it just adds to the chaos. Fuqian knows what to do, and it won't be too late to discuss it tomorrow when we have a definite decision." After saying that, he asked Aunt Mu to support Mrs. Mu, and directed the whole family to separate.

Naturally understand the truth, but the ones under house arrest are their own relatives, how can they rest with peace of mind?

After waking up from what happened to her aunt, Mu Xing wanted to stay and see what her uncle and father would do, but Bai Yan gently tugged at her sleeve behind her: "Don't go, Uncle Mu just said that he wanted to inquire about the news. You have his own way, you have never participated in these things, if you stay, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

Mu Xing thought for a while, and she really didn't know anything about her uncle's affairs abroad, especially about her elder brother's situation.Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to drag Bai Yan back to the upstairs room with the old ladies.

Mrs. Mu was still crying, and Mu Xing went to her room to comfort her.Fearing that Mrs. Mu would feel unhappy seeing her, Bai Yan followed Jing Ye back to the room the old lady had arranged for her.

"There is hot water in the bathroom, and the clothes in the closet are all newly bought by Miss Bai, please help yourself."

It was really late, and Bai Yan was already exhausted after being frightened and frightened this day.After a brief grooming, she opened the closet to change into a pajamas and went to bed. When she saw the clothes in the closet clearly, half of her sleepiness disappeared.

The clothes and skirts in the closet are neatly arranged, and there is a faint fragrance.Dance skirts with electric silk and accordion pleats, floor-length cheongsams with fine layers of gauze, western-style skirts with chiffon polka dots... These modern clothes are not without white and gorgeous, but just now Jing Ye said that these clothes belonged to Mu Xing, which is very interesting up.

Even after the two fell in love with each other, Mu Xing still wore simple and convenient clothes, most of which were women's trousers. Bai Yan had never seen her wear these gorgeous and complicated skirts.If it weren't for the current situation, Bai Yan couldn't help but imagine Mu Xing's appearance in those clothes.

Changing into a lace nightgown casually, Bai Yan lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and the curtains were drawn. The room was extremely quiet and dark, and the originally faint crying became more and more shrill, sometimes mixed with small whispers; the phone ringing downstairs One after another, hurried and sharp... All the sounds were like a net, enveloping her.

I don't know how long it took, but Bai Yangang was drowsy and drowsy when the mattress behind her suddenly sank, and the cold touch leaned against her.Fumbling, Bai Yan turned over and hugged Mu Xing.

She muttered softly: "...Why are you here? I'm not afraid that your mother... will find out..."

Mu Xing lay down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and kissed Bai Yan's forehead: "It's okay, go to sleep."

"Hmm..." After moving and shrinking beside Mu Xing, Bai Yan gradually fell asleep.

And Mu Xing opened his eyes, not daring to fall asleep.

Everything she experienced just now was burned in her eyes and ears, and she dared not close her eyes for fear that she would be burned again and again.His gaze floated endlessly in the darkness, but he still couldn't find a foothold.

The person in his arms moved suddenly, and Mu Xing unconsciously looked away.

The thick hair covered half of that fair face, leaving only a small tip of the nose.Probably because of the uncomfortable posture, Bai Yan gave a small "hmm" and moved again, the tip of her nose lightly rubbed against Mu Xing's shoulder, like a kitten's whiskers scratching, leaving an itchy touch.

When he realized it, the corners of Mu Xing's mouth curled up unconsciously.

The restless heart finally fell down heavily.

Early the next morning, everyone in Mu Yuan gathered downstairs. Uncle Mu explained the situation to everyone with thick dark circles under his eyes.

It turned out that Mu Qing was the deputy director of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Recently, he was dispatched to the three eastern provinces to collect intelligence. He returned to Nanjing last night. As soon as he got off the train, he was escorted home by the Central Unification Bureau and placed under house arrest. .At that time, thanks to the cleverness of Mu Qing's secretary, the servant took advantage of the crowd and ran away, so he was able to inform Mu Yuan.

According to Uncle Mu's friend in Nanjing, Director Xu of the Investigation Section of the Central Unification Bureau originally wanted to attack Mu Qing. Unexpectedly, before he arrived at Mu Qing's house, the Shenyang Intelligence Department sent back the news that the Japanese bombed the railway. .Director Xu was happy at first, and planned to take the opportunity to punish Mu Qing for a crime of dereliction of duty. Who knew that he acted too quickly. The information on the three eastern provinces was originally in Mu Qing's hands. If he really had to settle the account, I'm afraid it would have to be settled on his own head.in this way.Mu Qingcai saved his life for the time being and was ordered to sort out the information at home temporarily. It is still unknown what will happen next.

"Why did he lock Qing'er up?" Mrs. Mu said angrily, "Catch him first and then convict him. He thought he was Qin Hui reincarnated?!"

Uncle Mu understood the situation very well: "This Director Xu is a member of the 'club'. Qing'er has always maintained a neutral position, and he is in the intelligence department. If he can't win over, he will naturally replace him with his own people."

Aunt Mu asked: "Then people from other factions just watch him do things like this?"

Uncle Mu shook his head: "The factions in the central government are fighting against each other, the struggle is complicated, and there are many defectors. Even if Qinger wants to remain neutral, how can the other factions really believe it? I'm afraid, even if the 'club' doesn't take action, Sooner or later they will have other moves."

"Then what should we do? Could it be that...Qing'er can only be mermaid?" Mrs. Mu didn't know much about the political situation.

Uncle Mu sighed: "I have been away from the political center for too long, and the facts I can do are limited. After discussing with Yiqian and a few friends, I feel that there are only two ways to stop the 'club': invest in 'Club', or, to seek refuge with other factions."

Mu Xing frowned: "Then we are playing in the hands of these people? After all, they are greedy, and they want to drag our family into trouble and earn money for them!"

Uncle Mu shook his head: "This is the way things are in the world. Now that the other families in Wenjiang are also investing in their own families, how can the Mu family be alone?"

Mu Xing was surprised and said, "Could it be..."

Uncle Mu nodded: "The Wang family of the Li family is no exception. This morning, your Uncle Wang called and said that if I think about it, he is willing to help make connections."

Mu Xing bit his lip, unable to speak.

Both she and her second brother know nothing about politics. If they want to get involved in the war of those dirty speculators, the first brother and uncle must bear the brunt.However, back then when my uncle retired to Wenjiang, it was precisely because he didn't want to be manipulated by those in power, and he was worried day and night.Now, is it really necessary to personally deliver the thread to others...

Bai Yan, who had been sitting silently beside Mu Xing, suddenly said, "Then uncle, have you considered which force you want to join?"

Hearing this, everyone raised their heads to look at Uncle Mu, and Mu Xing also realized that if he was not sure, Uncle would definitely not come up with such a solution easily, and there are many people who have offered olive branches to the Mu family for many years.What kind of plan should be made, I am afraid that my uncle has already figured it out.

Mu Yiqian said solemnly to his uncle: "Brother, for many years, you have presided over the important affairs of the Mu family, and it is the same now. If you make a decision, let's put it bluntly, and we have no objection."

Wiping away the tears, Mrs. Mu also responded.

Sighing, Uncle Mu said: "I do have a candidate in my heart, but... there is still one person who can be recommended."

Aunt Mu hurriedly asked, "Didn't Master Wang just say he was willing to help?"

Shaking his head, Uncle Mu said: "This person does not belong to the Department of Political Science that the Wang family of the Li family took refuge in. He was originally from Huangpu, but strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a member of the Huangpu department. He is a person who has made great achievements in the world, so his words have some weight. But because of this, I don't know where his wings are covered. Even if I want to win a relationship with him, I feel a little helpless for a while. "

Mu Xing asked anxiously: "Who is this person? Whether it's Dad or Second Brother, count me in, so many people should be able to find some connections!"

Uncle Mu said: "This person's surname is Cai, his name is Junyao, and he is currently the Minister of the Military and Political Department. I am afraid that he is in Shanghai with that person now. If the Japanese want to do something in the three eastern provinces, I am afraid that he will follow suit. Our time It's urgent..."

When everyone heard this name, they all began to think and discuss whether there was any way to get in touch.Mu Xing turned his head to talk to Bai Yan, but saw Bai Yan staring blankly at the ground, motionless.

Frowning, Mu Xing called softly: "Wan'er, Wan'er?"

Bai Yan gradually had a reaction.

She turned her head to look at Mu Xing with red eyes, unable to restrain her trembling: "Ah Xuan, I seem to know this person...?"
