I originally wanted to persuade Ji Chenyan to go home and rest for a while.

But Ji Chenyan refused to go and insisted on sending him back to the Xu family villa.

Xu Muzhe couldn't help laughing when he saw that both of them had gauze on their heads.

Really miserable.

In this world, they really encountered too many unexpected disasters.

After hearing the laughter, Ji Chenyan cast a curious look at him.

"how?"

Xu Muzhe put away his smile, shook his head, and then said: "Just send me to the door and go back. If my dad sees that you are injured, he will probably get suspicious."

"Are you going to believe your brother?"

When Ji Chenyan mentioned Xu Yixuan, his tone became sour.

He didn't know what to say either.

After this incident, he always felt that Xu Yixuan was a little strange towards Xu Muzhe.

It seems that the desire to protect is too strong.

He didn't hesitate to expose himself and knocked him unconscious and locked him up, just to test whether he had the ability to protect Xu Muzhe.

Being able to reach this point doesn't seem like the relationship between brothers at all.

Besides Xu Muzhe, he and Xu's father and son all knew Xu Muzhe's life experience.

Xu Muzhe and Xu Yixuan are not related by blood.

Thinking of all the above, Ji Chenyan felt even more uncomfortable.

He said to Xu Muzhe: "You have to be careful of your brother. He is like a time bomb and can hurt you at any time."

"Well, I will."

Seeing that Xu Muzhe did not stand on Xu Yixuan's side, he nodded in agreement without hesitation after hearing his words.

This made Ji Chenyan feel a little better.

If I hadn't still maintained a bit of rationality.

He was about to ask a very stupid question.

He and Xu Yixuan fell into the water. Who would Xu Muzhe save first?

The taxi arrived at the door of the old house. Ji Chenyan got out of the car, took out a wheelchair from the trunk, then carried Xu Muzhe out of the car and gently placed him on the wheelchair.

The driver originally wanted to help, but Ji Chenyan was too possessive and refused to let the driver intervene.

Xu Muzhe stared at Ji Chenyan helplessly, then took his hand.

"Text me when you get home. Also, be alert when you go out and come in. Call me if anything happens. Okay?"

Ji Chenyan gently stroked Xu Muzhe's cheek with his other hand, "Okay, I will."

"Then I'll go in."

Ji Chenyan then thought of something and pressed Xu Muzhe's shoulders.

When Xu Muzhe turned his head to look at him, he let go again.

"Nothing, go in."

Xu Yixuan's words kept lingering in his mind.

He knew that he was not worthy of Xu Muzhe. After all, the child had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered any hardship.

Unlike him, he comes from an ordinary family and has a dangerous job.

Sometimes he would reflect on whether being with Xu Muzhe like this was a burden to him.

Even if the Xu family collapses completely in the future, with Xu Muzhe's conditions, he can still go to a wider place and start over.

Xu Muzhe seemed to guess what he was thinking, took his hand and kissed it.

"Can you trust me? I won't abandon you easily." Xu Muzhe said, "Even if I drive you away one day, it will be out of necessity. I hope you can be safe and sound."

Xu Muzhe's words gave Ji Chenyan courage.

He didn't like this condescending feeling, fearing that it would make Xu Muzhe uncomfortable, so he half-knelt down to look Xu Muzhe in the eye.

"Then you have to trust me too. I will protect myself. You don't need to chase me away."

Xu Muzhe smiled: "Okay."

After watching Xu Muzhe enter the villa, Ji Chenyan turned around and got into the taxi.

He had closed his eyes to rest, but after a few minutes, he suddenly opened his eyes and carefully recalled Xu Muzhe's words.

He was driven away to protect him.

Could it be that there were difficulties in the previous life?

Perhaps the fact that he sneaked into the office had already been exposed, and the Xu father and son threatened his life.

Xu Muzhe said those words in the warehouse in order to make him completely give up and not return to the Xu family's old house to continue the investigation.

At least he didn't expect that the Xu family father and son had already had the intention to kill.

It’s not that Ji Chenyan has become love-brained again, but he just can’t connect Xu Muzhe in his previous life with Xu Muzhe in this life.

It's really too divisive.

This is the only reasonable explanation.

Ji Chenyan seemed to have figured it out and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Forget it. He loves Xiaozhe in this life more anyway. As for the grudges in the previous life, he no longer wants to delve into them.

As long as Xiaozhe in this life doesn't betray him.

*

Xu Muzhe entered the Xu family hall, and the system just reported the blackening value to him.

[The blackening value is -5%, and the current target’s blackening value remains at 40%. Host, please continue to work hard. 】

Xu Muzhe curled his lips helplessly, "Isn't he trying to attack himself again?"

[Almost. Perhaps you, the host, are too different from your previous life, so he is willing to trust you again.]

Fortunately, Xu Muzhe did not confess to Ji Chenyan as soon as he arrived.

Don't explain any misunderstandings, and slowly conquer the problem, which will actually be more effective.

During dinner, Xu Muzhe noticed that the atmosphere in the Xu family was not right.

In the past, no matter how much Xu's father disliked him, he would always greet him and chat about meaningless topics.

But today, Mr. Xu had a gloomy face the whole time, making the servants dare not even breathe.

Xu Muzhe only glanced at Xu's father, then lowered his head and concentrated on eating.

He guessed that it was the documents taken away by Ji Chenyan that caused the Xu family company to suffer a heavy blow and should have had some impact on the business.

"System, how did they solve it later?" Xu Muzhe asked the system in his mind.

[They found several scapegoats among the middle and senior management.]

Xu Muzhe curled his lips and sneered.

It turns out to be this kind of operation.

[Host, please try to persuade Ji Chenyan to stay away from the Xu family for the time being. Xu Yuanzheng is looking for traitors recently.]

Xu Muzhe's eyes darkened. "Did you find out anything?"

[No, I guess he mainly suspects the servants, but the butler is in big trouble because he hired all the servants. I just checked, he's been locked up in the basement, and it seems they're trying to torture him into confessing.]

After hearing this, Xu Muzhe's face became even uglier.

Even if they were NPCs from this world, he didn't want to see anyone implicated.

"I'll find a chance to rescue him."

【Don’t do that! 】

The system felt a little regretful about telling Xu Muzhe. It knew that Xu Muzhe was not the type of person who would watch innocent people suffer.

He did this on purpose, just to see who would save the housekeeper. Xu Yuanzheng was 100% suspicious that an undercover agent had infiltrated, but he was also certain that the undercover agent would not stand by and watch someone die.

"What should we do? We can't just watch him get beaten to death."

【Host, you can only wait for the right time. 】

"What time?"

[Xu Yixuan went to open a branch company, seemingly to build up his own power and then kill Xu Yuanzheng]

After hearing this, Xu Muzhe immediately understood what Xu Yixuan said.

I left for half a year for this.

"The housekeeper is old, I'm afraid he won't be able to last half a year."

[Don't worry, Xu Yixuan has arranged for someone to take care of the housekeeper. And this housekeeper's background is not simple. He was previously the boss of a certain district, and then he retired and came to the Xu family. He defected two years ago and now follows Xu Yixuan.]

Xu Muzhe: This world is too complicated.

At first, he just wanted to torture the target of the mission and didn't care about anything else.
