Chapter 39 - II
Wu Ming flipped through the book hesitantly, “It doesn’t say. But such a powerful thing can be recorded in a biography. It shouldn’t be some fake and shoddy one-time exhibit. It doesn’t make sense to throw it away after being used once, right?”
He was stunned for a while, and suddenly understood, “Do you want to go back?”
When he asked this question, Mu Ci became confused. On one side was the Yi Dynasty that he was familiar with, and on the other was the novel and interesting modern world. He really couldn’t tell which one was better.
If he really went back, the dragon robe matter would be a minor trouble, but with Gu Huai here, could he really avoid Gu Huai for the rest of his life?
Gu Huai’s methods were so strong and his connections were so wide, where could he hide?
Finally, Mu Ci lowered his eyes and said: “Let’s look for the jade pendant first, and then make plans after we find the jade pendant.”
Wu Ming nodded, “That’s okay; you have to seize the opportunity first, and then make your choice slowly.”
Wu Ming looked at his light brown eyes under his long eyelashes and suddenly felt moved for some reason.
At this moment, Wu Ming felt a little pitiful for Mu Ci.
Without warning, the man was pushed into a completely unfamiliar world by a mysterious force. He was at a loss and ignorant. The only person he could rely on was Gu Huai in the story. But that person wasn’t very nice to him either.
Wu Ming sighed slightly, quickly cheered up, and smiled at Mu Ci. He was a very energetic boy, young, enthusiastic, and always had a blind and positive attitude towards things.
Wu Ming comforted him with a smile. He gave full play to the helpful thinking of contemporary college students, “Don’t worry, I know a few history professors, go and consult, maybe they can help you find out the whereabouts of the jade pendant.”
Mu Ci looked at him gratefully, “Thank you.”
.
While Mu Ci and Wu Ming were flipping through ancient books to trace their origins, the entire Gu family mansion was enveloped in an extremely cold low pressure, especially those who accidentally let Mu Ci escape. The bodyguards didn’t even dare to show off, and ran around with their heads down every day.
But because they missed the opportunity, no matter how hard they searched, they ouldn’t find even half of the silhouette. The only answer was Mu Ci had definitely left the province.
It would be difficult to deal with it when he left the province because there were no clues to which city he went to. The mobile phone with the positioning function was thrown in the ward, and the culprit Zheng Xuran refused to tell the truth no matter how hard he was pressed in the interrogation.
Zheng Xuran’s end was not very good. Although Jing Zheng didn’t kill him, it was almost the same. He laid in the hospital for several days. When something like this happened and his own dog bit someone, Jing Zheng wasn’t willing kill him but he also couldn’t explain it to Gu Huai without being ruthless.
But now Gu Huai had no intention of settling accounts with Zheng Xuran. In the days after Mu Ci escaped, Gu Huai was very anxious and worried.
Mu Ci was a person who traveled from ancient times. He opened his mouth and stretched out his hands from his early childhood. He was served by countless people. Even when he was in the Gu family, he was never tired at all, and he didn’t have too much contact with the outside environment. He was raised like a small greenhouse flower.
But as soon as he ran like this, he just stopped talking, made a big splash, and ran directly to another place. Gu Huai was so worried that he couldn’t sleep at night. He always had nightmares about Mu Ci being robbed, getting lost, or even sleeping on the street.
Mu Ci was so good-looking and had a pure mind. If someone with evil intentions could trick him into going home, how would he live?
.
Days passed, and no good news about Mu Ci came from his subordinates. It was as if the man had disappeared into the sea, with no trace at all.
Sometimes when he dreamed about it at night, Gu Huai would tremble and wonder if he had died quietly and was buried in an unknown grave, so there were no clues at all.
Gradually, this heavy worry and anxiety gradually fermented and swelled, completely turning into hatred and anger towards Mu Ci.
When Mu Ci was sick, he was so sincerely repentant and so gentle and considerate to him. Why did he still want to run away? Was he, Gu Huai, that unsightly?
Gu Huai felt as if he had been betrayed, let down, or even had his sincerity thrown to the ground and trampled on. This feeling amplified his possessiveness and hatred for Mu Ci. He wanted to catch him and eat him alive, with every bone and flesh kneaded into his palms.
Why, why did he just turned around and left without any hesitation, leaving him tossing and turning in pain alone.
.
One day, Gu Huai was sitting behind his desk, holding the wedding ring and looking it over and over. Bai Ling was walking on thin ice, looking at the report.
Suddenly, he saw Gu Huai throw the wedding ring on the table and cursed fiercely, “You ungrateful thing!”
When people were angry, they tended to say bad things. They might not mean it, but they were very unpleasant to hear.
Bai Ling knew that Gu Huai was really angry this time. After the ignorant little prince was captured, he wouldn’t be strangled to death, right?
Bai Ling still felt pity for Mu Ci. It was not our mutual consent in the first place. He was locked up in Gu’s house and couldn’t leave even if he wanted to.
He managed to escape with his life. He didn’t have an ID card and didn’t know where he was. How was he doing today? Could he eat? Where did he live?
If he tasted the suffering of the world, would he change his mind and return home? _(:_‖∠)
