Imprisoned by the devil

Maybe it was a little sensitive, so that when Mu Li said 'there is not much time', Li Yan couldn't help but think of the countdown to his own life.

Although there is no definite number yet, he has already prepared for the worst.

"Tomorrow, as soon as the bidding is over, I may have to go out for a while. During this time, you will live with Ao Gang. He will move out when he is done. You will live here steadily, even if you help me see This villa, okay?"

Mu Li saw that his speech was not the same as usual. Today, he was as weak as a struggling patient in the middle of the day, and his temper has calmed down a lot. What's more, this confession made him feel uneasy just like confessing the future.

He frowned suspiciously, "Where are you going?"

"Don't worry about it. I'll be back in about two months." He took out another bunch of keys from his bag and put them in his palm. "This is the key to the villa. Keep it safe."

Mu Li glanced at him, he could clearly feel that Li Yan had something to hide from him, but he didn't want to ask this man too much.

After hesitating for a while, he took the key from him, with the same indifferent attitude, "Apart from these, is there anything else?"

"It's gone, then you can rest." Li Yan didn't expect to get a trace of tenderness from this cold face, but the next second when he was about to leave, he immediately turned around when he thought of something.

"Wait, Xiaoli."

"What's the matter?" Just as the door was about to close, the man suddenly turned back, Mu Li was a little impatient.

"I, I have a question for you."

"Say."

"If one day I'm no longer by your side, will you miss me?"

Do you still remember that there was once a person who loved you so unhesitatingly, and just wanted to spend the rest of his life with you for the sake of you.

"Why are you thinking about this?" Mu Li always felt that this question made him panic.

"Just answer me, when the day comes, will you miss me?"

The man's tone became more serious, his heart was beating in fear, his lips were trembling slightly, his pale eyes were full of longing and anticipation, hoping that maybe Mu Li would really say the answer he wanted to hear.

"I don't know, I can't make a choice about something that didn't happen."

"Heh, it's fine even if you're telling lies, so that I can have some psychological comfort." Li Yan smiled extremely miserably, as if he had already expected his own sad ending. The current him is not qualified to be here with Mu Li. Got a lie.

"What's the matter with you, why is it so strange today?" After handing over the house and asking these frightening questions, and still talking about psychological comfort here, Mu Li was simply at a loss.

But at the same time, a kind of unreasonable panic quickly overwhelmed him, and he became more and more irritable.

"It's okay, just think I'm crazy, and I won't disturb your rest." Li Yan gritted his teeth and walked directly into his room with a sullen head. How could he tell the truth to Mu Li?Even to be honest, Mu Li probably wouldn't sympathize with him.

"What's wrong with this, it's strange." Mu Li only said these words as if he had suddenly lost his mind, and closed the door while muttering.

The sound of the door echoed throughout the villa, and a feeling of loneliness and sadness quickly spread. For Li Yan, winning or winning the bidding tomorrow doesn't seem to matter.

Perhaps since he let go of his mentality, he and Mu Li have already known who will win and who will lose.

Including the second day at the bidding meeting, he sat quietly in his seat, not in high spirits, not aloof, he was just like an ordinary person entering an unusual place.

Everyone has noticed that Mr. Li's face is thin today, and he doesn't know what he has experienced. There are blue beard stubbles on his face, and his haughty eyes seem to be less defiant, except that his face is the same Cold, the rest seemed to look less like him.

Mu Li, who was sitting on the right, happened to be parallel to his direction. He just glanced over casually, but saw the man coughed again and again as if unwell, and then took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and coughed a few times. There was an inexplicable panic in the eyes of the handkerchief, but he pretended to be calm and quickly wrapped the handkerchief. Seeing that his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he pressed his chest and took a deep breath.

All these signs showed that something was wrong with this man. This state was different from usual at 01:30. Mu Li immediately frowned and thought for a few times before turning his eyes away.

But there seemed to be a voice in his heart that forced him to look back again. That person was still sitting upright and so dignified, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he was unwilling to bend his back to show his fragility.

In addition to thinking that this person may also be physically uncomfortable, it is indeed a characteristic of this person to pretend to be strong.

But when everyone firmly believed that Li Yan won the bidding, the result surprised them greatly.

When it was announced that the company that won the bid was 'Mu's Group', all the employees of the Mu's Group jumped up and cheered and hugged. They were happy that their hard work had not been in vain, and at the same time hugged and congratulated their leader Mu Li one after another.

At this time, bigwigs from all walks of life in the business world also came forward to shake hands with Mu Li graciously to congratulate Mu Li. Mu Li responded with a forced smile, but he couldn't be happy when he won the victory. At this moment, he found that his subordinates were all looking at him Looking behind him, turning his head in doubt, that handsome man was standing in front of him.

Half an arm away from him, seeing him stretch out his right hand, he grinned faintly: "You won, congratulations."

You won, the moment the three words hit the ground, Mu Li suddenly trembled in his heart, not because of the desolate smile on his face, but because of the fragility and powerlessness he revealed.

Out of politeness, Mu Li also stretched out his hand, but when he touched the man's palm, it was so cold that he seemed to be poured a basin of cold water from head to toe.

"I'm leaving." Li Yan's smiling eyes slightly blurred towards him at last, the gentle light inside actually slightly hurt a certain corner of Mu Li's heart.

Why is there a bit of heartache? Even looking at his far away back, there is a feeling of worrying about gains and losses and about to become a feather.

After the bidding was over, Li Yan finally got something done. He supported his tired body and got into the car, avoiding the driver. Only his assistant Shen Wen drove the car for him.

On the way, Shen Wen carefully glanced at the tired face in the rearview mirror, and couldn't help asking a question that puzzled him: "Mr. Li, can I have the courage to ask a question?"

"Yeah." The man leaning back on the back seat also opened his eyes, and sat up a little bit upright.

"This time, you clearly have the strength to win over Mr. Mu, why don't you go for it?"

Having been with Li Yan for so many years, Shen Wen knew too well what kind of personality Li Yan was in dealing with things. It was because of his ruthless, decisive and ruthless style in the mall that the business community gave him the title of "Yan Luo in the mall". It was a 'dead end' for Li Yan, which made them frightened. No one dared to compete with Mr. Li, because they all knew the result, and it would be futile to fight for it.

But today, it was the first time in Li Yan's business history that he lost to his opponent.
