In the evening, when the sun was setting, Mu Zixing, who had been out and busy all day, knocked on the door of Lei Shao's study with a stack of photos.

"Sir, Dong Boyu is dead. He was shot to death in a wasteland in the southeastern suburbs."

Hearing this, Lei Shao raised his head and took what Mu Zixing was holding.

"This is a photo of the scene." Mu Zixing said.

Lei Shao flipped through the pages and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know yet," Mu Zixing replied, "I asked Qin Xin. He said that Dong Boyu jumped out of the car and fled halfway the night he was taken away. They searched for several days, but they couldn't find any trace of him."

This is blatant nonsense.

When Qin Xin came that day, besides his assistant, he also brought four other bodyguards. How could the six of them see a paralyzed Dong Boyu?

Qin Xin was sure that Dong Boyu would die, and there would be no proof of his death, so Lei Shao would have no way to ask.

"What do you think?" Lei Shao said.

Mu Zixing thought about it, and said objectively, "Qin Xin should have killed someone with a knife. Not long after Dong Boyu escaped, the news that he was being targeted by the police spread in the Eastern District."

In this way, the accomplices who were secretly dealing with Dong Boyu couldn't sit still. As long as Qin Xin created the illusion that Dong Boyu was running away, and then leaked his whereabouts, someone would naturally kill Dong Boyu.

Although Qin Xin would still be called to the police station for tea, the trouble would be much less.

This old fox.

Lei Shao's eyes darkened, and he snapped the photo on the table.

"Any news about Ji Haodong?" Lei Shao asked after a while.

Mu Zixing hesitated and said, "Not yet."

"Dong Boyu should be just a victim used by him to test the waters. Since he is back, he will probably make contact with the Qin family and the Shen family in a short time. You should pay more attention recently."

Mu Zixing agreed, he glanced at Lei Shao slightly tired, went out and poured him a cup of brewed coffee, and brought it in.

"gentlemen."

Lei Shao raised his eyes.

Mu Zixing handed him the coffee, then smiled, "I won't run away this time, I will kill Ji Haodong with my own hands."

Lei Shao didn't speak, just stared at Mu Zixing for a few seconds, then took the cup and hummed.

After talking about the matter, the study room became quiet. Seeing that Lei Shao would continue to work, Mu Zixing wanted to leave quietly, but Lei Shao suddenly said, "Ruan Ning will be back in a few days, you can arrange it and send some people to protect him." his safety."

Mu Zixing was taken aback when he heard that, nodded and said, "Okay, sir, do you need to arrange someone to pick him up then?"

"No," Lei Shao said, "I'll go in person."

At eight o'clock on Thursday morning, Mu Zixing accompanied Lei Shao to pick up Ruan Ning at T3 Airport in City C.

"Shao."

Ruan Ning, who was wearing a beige windbreaker, greeted Lei Shao first, then stretched out his hand to Mu Zixing, and said with a smile, "Brother Xing, long time no see."

Mu Zixing shook hands with him, and politely replied, "Long time no see."

Ruan Ning was actually older than Mu Zixing, but most people on the road called him Mu Zixing, so he followed suit.

But Lei Shao, Ruan Ning used to call him Brother Shao, but this time it changed.

Mu Zixing felt a little uncomfortable. Originally, he didn't like Ruan Ning very much, because this person's personality was very similar to Yan Yi. Maybe it was because of jealousy. Mu Zixing liked everyone who had similarities with Yan Yi. Can't get up, except Lan Jing.

Yan Yi also called Lei Shao like this before, just by name, which sounds both intimate and as if he is invisibly announcing to others that Lei Shao is his property.

After picking up Ruan Ning, a few of them went home directly, and the cooking aunt had already prepared a sumptuous breakfast.

"Fried buns, steamed dumplings, pumpkin porridge, glutinous rice cake...all of them are my favorite!" Ruan Ning was a little excited.

"The chef brought over from here won't cook for you?" Lei Shao asked casually.

"Do it," Ruan Ning sighed, "but it's not authentic, I'm crazy to think about it."

Lei Shao smiled and put the vinegar dish in front of him.

"Thank you," Ruan Ning picked up a steamed dumpling with a smile, just took a bite, then looked up at Mu Zixing as if remembering something, "Why don't Brother Xing sit down, come, let's eat together."

Ruan Ning has been abroad, and only came back every few years to live in City C for a while. During the half a month he came last time, Mu Zixing went to country S to discuss business. The two of them didn't see each other, so of course they didn't know where he is now.

After all, Mu Zixing, Lei Shao, Ji Baichuan, Yan Yi and him all ate at the same table before.

Mu Zixing obviously didn't expect Ruan Ning to ask such a question. He didn't know how to answer for a while, so he stood there without saying a word.

Lei Shao didn't explain, and asked someone to serve the cooked wontons.

Ruan Ning sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so he was very discerning and didn't ask any further questions, just smiled, then looked at Mu Zixing's expression calmly, then swept his hand under his sleeve, then lowered his head to calm down for breakfast.

During this period, he talked a lot about his life abroad with Lei Shao. Lei Shao would stop his chopsticks to listen carefully to him from time to time, while Mu Zixing stood quietly not far away with downcast eyes.

In fact, counting it, Ruan Ning and him are also separated by their father's blood feud.

Ruan Ning is Ruan Fu's only son. When Ji Haodong rebelled, Ruan Fu and his wife died trying to save Lei Shao, leaving Ruan Ning alone.

So Ruan Ning's position in Rongxing is very special.

Lei Shao also dotes on Ruan Ning.

Mu Zixing thought, if Ruan Ning knew about his relationship with Ji Haodong and wanted to kill him, would he hand him over?

"By the way, Shao, I had a game tonight, can you go with me?" Ruan Ning said while eating, "It's the few who played together when I was young, no one else."

Let alone having fun, Lei Shao didn't even want to go to the necessary social gatherings. Since the sudden change in his family when he was ten years old, those children had no one to play with him, and his character became very silent. Later, he had Mu Zixing Only then became more cheerful.

When he was older, Mu Zixing had left, and he had already followed Ji Baichuan to circle among the old foxes with ulterior motives, and he couldn't get along with those sons and brothers who were eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

When he became a person in power, he became farther and farther away from these peers.

But when Ruan Ning proposed, he still agreed.

The meeting place was by the swimming pool of a villa under Ruan Ning's name. Mu Zixing arranged some people around early to ensure Lei Shao's safety.

When they went, Mu Zixing realized that everyone who came had brought playmates, and when Ruan Ning walked towards the crowd, he naturally took Lei Shao's hand, and winked mischievously at him.

Mu Zixing frowned, and the corners of his lips tightened a little.

The atmosphere at the scene became tense as expected because of Lei Shao's arrival, but Ruan Ning was a good hand at activating the atmosphere. As the alcohol poured down his throat, his brain started to get excited, and everyone was on high again after a while.

Even soon a group of people came up to pour wine for Lei Shao, and Ruan Ning, who was next to him, held Lei Shao's arm and looked at him happily.

Mu Zixing stood alone behind Lei Shao. He was too out of tune with the atmosphere here, and he always looked at him curiously.

Mu Zixing stood a little further away, silently outside the bustling crowd.

Not long after, someone started playing the game, and Mu Zixing saw Lei Shao sitting on the lounge chair. Although his temperament did not match the surrounding environment, it was not as abrupt as him.

Ruan Ning was sitting next to Lei Shao, as if he had lost a game, and the others said something, and then started booing.

Then Mu Zixing saw that Ruan Ning looked around with a bit of annoyance and helplessness, then turned his head and raised his chin, and kissed Lei Shao's lips.
