A Warm Wedding and A New Bride of Young Master Lu

Chapter 1012 Danger—Xu Youning Is in Danger (3)

“Why didn’t you tell me Mumu asked you to come in here?”

Kang Ruicheng did not soften his voice at all, in fact there was still a menacing undertone in it.

A crisis could break out at any moment.

Xu Youning chose to remain silent initially—

When you didn’t know what to say, you’d better not say anything.

In fact, Xu Youning did not know how to tell Kang Ruicheng that she was unaware Mumu had asked her to search for the game until two minutes ago.

Seeing Xu Youning remaining speechless, Mumu pulled at her sleeve.

Xu Youning came to her senses and looked at Kang Ruicheng as if she was not to be blamed at all. “You looked so fierce just now,” she answered.

No matter why Mumu suddenly appeared to rescue her, she should solve the current problem first.

The best way was to pass the buck to Kang Ruicheng.

As expected, Kang Ruicheng was stunned and did not respond.

“Oh—” Mumu suddenly jumped toward Kang Ruicheng and frowned at him unhappily. “Daddy, how could you scold Auntie Youning!” he shouted.

Kang Ruicheng was not struck by Mumu’s question. He said with an unsympathetic look, “I’ll check the surveillance video.”

If Xu Youning just came in to find the game disk, as Mumu said, then she shouldn’t have stayed for such a long time in the study.

That was to say, Xu Youning should have come out in a few minutes.

Xu Youning knew what Kang Ruicheng meant. She calculated the time and sadly found that she had been in the study for at least 30 minutes, which would have exceeded the normal time frame.

“How would she explain it?”

“Say that she could not find the disk?”

When Xu Youning was wondering what to do, she remembered that Mumu came in all of a sudden.

Apparently, he came to help her.

However, when she left the room, Mumu was still sleeping. Even if the little fellow found she was not in the room when he woke up, he would not know she was in the study or if she was in any danger.

Xu Youning ventured a guess, “Was there someone helping her?”

If so, that person would have thought of the surveillance video and take care of it for her.

However, if there was no such person, she would not be able to pass this crisis.

It didn’t make any sense that she had stayed here for such a long time just to find a game disk.

So, why not gamble on the optimistic situation?

Xu Youning looked into Kang Ruicheng’s eyes calmly and said, “If you want to check the surveillance video, then go ahead.”

“If you are so desperate, let’s do it!”

Kang Ruicheng walked to the computer with a gloomy face, brought up the surveillance video that recorded what happened around the study, and then played the video of the last half hour at double speed.

Over the first 24 minutes, the video recorded nothing but the door.

From the 25th minute, namely five minutes ago, Xu Youning appeared and in less than two minutes, Kang Ruicheng pushed the door open.

That was to say, Xu Youning had just come in and found the disk in that short period of time.

When Kang Ruicheng opened the door, he only saw the disk in Xu Youning’s hand instead of anything suspicious.

Mumu knew that Xu Youning was fine. Looking at Kang Ruicheng’s back in the surveillance video, he stuck his tongue out at Kang Ruicheng and said, “Daddy, you must have been very fierce just now. You made Auntie Youning speechless.”

Kang Ruicheng glanced at Mumu sullenly and grabbed his hand, saying, “Come out with me.”

At the corridor outside, Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu seriously and asked, “Tell me, did you really ask Youning to go into the study?”

Mumu nodded and played with his fingers innocently. “Yes, because I’m not tall enough, so I asked Auntie Youning to help me look for it. You’ve told me before that there was something fun in your study.”

Kang Ruicheng did not reply. He gazed at Mumu solemnly as if he was debating whether the little guy was lying.

Mumu blinked and looked at Kang Ruicheng in confusion. “Daddy, Auntie Youning is not allowed to enter your study? Why?” he asked.

“No reason,” Kang Ruicheng said with a poker face, “No one can go there at will, including you!”

“Okay.” Mumu lowered his head dejectedly. “I’m sorry.”

After a pause, Mumu raised his head and grabbed Kang Ruicheng’s clothes and said, “Daddy, don’t blame Auntie Youning, please. She went in because of me.”

Kang Ruicheng gritted his teeth and warned him, “Do not let it happen again!”

“I understand,” Mumu said, nodding obediently.

Kang Ruicheng took Mumu back to the study where Xu Youning was still standing behind the computer desk watching the surveillance video with no obvious expression on her face.

No one could tell how feverishly her mind raced.

She came in half an hour ago, but according to the surveillance video, she entered five minutes ago.

Her gamble paid off: someone modified the video for her.

As Kang Ruicheng’s subordinates would not do that, the only possibility was—

Mu Sijue had planted a spy, who helped her this time, among Kang Ruicheng’s men.

“Who could be the spy among so many of his subordinates?”

Ah Jin’s name flashed across Xu Youning’s mind in an instant.

It was Ah Jin who called Kang Ruicheng away using Auston as an excuse the last time when Kang Ruicheng was about to enter the study when she was inside.

She couldn’t think of anyone else besides Ah Jin.

At the moment, Xu Youning was more curious about how much Ah Jin knew.

“A Ning,” Kang Ruicheng called Xu Youning, “Don’t just stand there. Come out.”

Xu Youning picked up the disk and shook it. “Can I take this out? Mumu wants to play the game,” she said.

She looked serious as if she was here just for the disk.

Kang Ruicheng relaxed a little and he responded, “Sure. You can play it with Mumu.”

Xu Youning looked at Mumu and smiled at the little fellow.

Mumu made a gesture of victory and was about to kick up his heels.

Xu Youning couldn’t help feeling that Mumu was the best actor in this family.

Out of the study, Kang Ruicheng locked the door and said, “A Ning, don’t come in at will in the future. I hope you understand.”

Xu Youning nodded and said obediently, “I see.”

“Daddy, that’s enough. Don’t be like this!” Mumu pushed Kang Ruicheng. “You can go to work. Auntie Youning and I are going to play games!”

“I’m going downstairs too.” Kang Ruicheng said, “Let’s go together.”

“Okay!”

Mumu skipped happily downstairs behind Kang Ruicheng.

When they went down, Kang Ruicheng did not go out. Instead, he sat on the sofa and kept making phone calls to deal with stuff.

Mumu took no notice of Kang Ruicheng. He took the disk from Xu Youning and asked eagerly, “Auntie Youning, which one will we play first?”

Xu Youning was absent-minded.

If Mumu kept being so excited, she would really believe that it was Mumu who asked her to find the game and that he was really interested in these old games.

After following Mumu’s example, Xu Youning finally made herself believe this lie.

She opened the box and began to study the old-fashioned games with Mumu.

After dinner, Kang Ruicheng said he had to go out and added, “I won’t be back tonight.”

“Okay.” Mumu, not surprised at all, waved at Kang Ruicheng. “Bye.”

As soon as Kang Ruicheng left, Xu Youning took the little fellow’s hand and said, “Go, I’ll give you a bath. Then you should go to bed early.”

“No problem!” Mumu replied, nodding his head.

As soon as they arrived at the room, Xu Youning locked the door, squatted down and asked him, “Mumu, who asked you to find me in the study when you woke up?”

“Uncle Ah Jin,” Mumu answered while he blinked steadily.

Xu Youning was not surprised at all. She continued to ask after a pause, “Can you tell me what happened at that time?”

Mumu tilted his head and began to recollect the situation after he opened the door—

Ah Jin asked where Xu Youning was when he saw Mumu coming out alone.

He didn’t expect him to say that Xu Youning was not in the room.

At that moment, Ah Jin already guessed that Xu Youning was probably in the study again.

But the trouble was that Kang Ruicheng was already walking to the study.

Ah Jin squatted down and looked at Mumu with an unprecedented serious expression on his face. “Auntie Youning is in danger now. Would you like to help her?” he asked.

Mumu’s eyes widened and he nodded without hesitation. He answered, “Of course, but what should I do?”

Ah Jin held Mumu’s shoulder in a tight grip and told him, “Listen to me, I need you to go to the study. If you don’t see Auntie Youning, you could say you’re going to find your daddy. But if you see her, it means she needs your help.”

Mumu looked at Ah Jin in confusion and asked, “How can I help Auntie Youning?”

Ah Jin continued, “You can tell your daddy that you asked Auntie Youning to go to the study. If Auntie Youning holds a toy or something in her hand, you can say you asked her to look for it. If she has documents, just tell her it’s not what you want. You were looking for something else.”

In the end, Ah Jin took a deep breath and said, “Mumu, Auntie Youning may be in great danger. Only you can help her. Go ahead.”

Mumu was wide awake instantly. He rushed to the study with a serious expression.

In the study, he saw Xu Youning holding a game disk. Therefore, he insisted that he had asked Xu Youning to look for the item in the study and successfully rescued Xu Youning.

That was the gist of the whole story.

Mumu looked at Xu Youning uncertainly and asked in a low voice, “Auntie Youning, did I help you just now?”

Xu Youning smiled with tears welling up in her eyes. She embraced Mumu and said, “Mumu, thank you.”

If it had been in the past, Mumu would have hugged Xu Youning back happily.

But this time, he didn’t.

He whispered, “Auntie Youning, what were you looking for in daddy’s study?”
