"How is it? Not bad, right?" Cyclops said.
The aning behind these words was profound.
Perhaps Mu had never t her before, but he must have heard who she was. So, when Su Yixia lowered her head, she heard a knowing, soft laugh from the two n in front of her.
She anxiously bit her lip at this.
"Mr. Mu and I," Cyclops said to her, "happened to pass by, had so business, and thought of you living here, so we dropped by to rest."
So that’s how it was, a spur-of-the-mont decision. No wonder she hadn’t heard any word of it before.
Su Yixia raised her head, giving them both a fawning smile.
Cyclops and Mu sat on the sofa, and the maid went to the kitchen to bring them tea and snacks.
Su Yixia smiled and said, "Godfather, it’s tough for you to travel such a long distance overnight."
Generally, people wouldn’t travel at night unless sothing very significant had happened.
Su Yixia’s words were probing – these two weren’t coming because they’d heard sothing happened here, right?
Cyclops’ thick brows furrowed slightly, and his cane thudded on the wooden floor with a dull sound.
Mu elegantly propped one hand on his forehead, and beneath the mask, it seed his mouth yawned lazily. To Su Yixia’s words, he turned to Cyclops and said, "Worry isn’t really necessary. I think Luo Ke is overreacting, insisting we co here. The Fox has always been ruthless in his actions, rarely making mistakes, let alone failing."
Since he wore a mask, no one could truly see the expression beneath when he spoke these words.
Cyclops glanced at Mu’s child-like clown mask. Perhaps no one in the world understood why this man insisted on wearing a child’s mask when he was clearly no longer a child.
Turning back, Cyclops said, "No matter what, since Luo Ke asked us to co, if the Fox doesn’t need our interference, we have nothing to lose watching from a distance."
Su Yixia suddenly felt a chill. Clearly, when Cyclops said this, he glanced at her, perhaps wondering if she understood.
The maid brought the tea over: "Gentlen, please have so tea."
Cyclops and Mu each picked up a teacup from the saucer, sipping slowly.
Gu Nuan sat in the storage room, closely observing the situation outside through the door.
Clearly, Su Yixia hadn’t inford her that they had been kidnapped here, so now the most tense person was Su Yixia herself.
She wondered if this counted as being caught in her own trap.
After all, her beautiful classmate had always been overconfident, believing she could deceive everyone, only to end up proving herself to be a fool.
Secretary Li anxiously watched behind him, with warning eyes directed at Gu Nuan in the storage room door, saying, "Don’t make a sound, or else my young lady cannot guarantee your safety. You should understand this best, Miss Gu."
Gu Nuan laughed coldly. She understood very well; otherwise, she would have shouted long ago. But that didn’t an she would let herself be caught without resistance.
Turning back, Gu Nuan pressed close to the wall of the storage room next to the adjoining room.
A certain spot in her heart thudded violently.
Her fingers reached out, as if they could penetrate the wall and touch the person on the other side.
Their previous glance was unclear, but no matter what, at least he was alive.
