After my soul traveled through time and space, I became the male protagonist Bai Yueguang

Song Si frowned, the veins on her forehead were exposed, and the lines on her face could not be hidden even by her makeup under her ferocious expression. It was as if the life was sucked out of her.

"What did you say? Say it again?!"

The assistant didn't dare to meet her eyes. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly found that there was a body lying on the ground, and the blood on the ground had turned into a dried black and red color.

He blinked in fear, "Master...he...maybe...he's...gone..."

He suddenly lowered his head. Never before had he regretted so much about joining the Mu family. He had gone through many hardships and stepped on countless "corpses" to get this job. It was once so enviable, but now he wondered if he could get through this night safely.

Song Si still had a pistol in her hand. Everyone present looked at her in horror, fearing that she would lose control and they would fall to the ground like important figures.

Her hands were shaking, her eyes full of disbelief, "I've already given the order! Do they think I'm dead? Save my son at all costs! How could they! How could they!"

Bang, bang, bang.

She fired three shots at the ceiling. Smoke gathered at the muzzle of the gun and a pungent smell filled the room.

The guard opened the door for her in time and she rushed out of the room.

The elderly officials in the room finally collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their balance, and they felt sad when they saw the corpse of Official He with his eyes open.

There was singing and dancing in the banquet hall, but it could not hide the sharp sound of gunfire that cut through the night sky. The guests were all prominent figures in the world. Most of them had been exposed to guns since childhood and were extremely sensitive to such sounds. Everyone stopped talking and laughing and looked in fear in the direction of Mu Yingfeng's bedroom.

"What happened?" Lu Siming stood beside President Lu. He had not yet recovered from the shock of learning Mu Yanchen's identity.

President Lu frowned. He always thought he had gotten a great bargain. The invitation from the Shengjing Mu family was an honor that many entrepreneurs could not get. He considered himself a top figure in H City, so he accepted the gift calmly. However, he never thought that this pie in the sky came from his son.

The three gunshots that rang out in the Mu residence at this time made Mr. Lu even more suspicious. He glanced at his son and said, "Don't even think about Mr. Mu's woman. As for what happened, I don't know, but what I know for sure is that we must leave quickly while we don't know anything!"

Mr. Lu grabbed his son and ran towards the door. Other guests had the same idea as them and ran out one after another. For a while, a stampede occurred.

The entrance was blocked with people jamming together, and many noble ladies were trampled and lay on the side.

Because Duan Luchong was arrested, the staff scattered as if they had lost their backbone. The band also stopped playing and left in panic, packing up their instruments.

For a moment, the soft music in the banquet hall stopped, and even the lights on the stage shone in a disorderly direction, sometimes dark, sometimes bright, with inexplicable colors, shining on those frightened and uncertain faces, more like a ready-made horror movie.

The guests scattered, the tables, chairs, cups and plates fell to the ground, and the banquet hall fell into an eerie silence again.

It's like the curtain call of a noisy drama.

Song Si rushed into Mu Guichao's room with a gun in hand, but the person who greeted her was Ji Zhengxuan sitting in a wheelchair.

When Song Si's eyes swept over Ji Zhengxuan's empty trouser leg, she had already made up her mind that her son was definitely dead.

Ji Zhengxuan raised the corners of his eyes and mouth slightly, as if he didn't expect Song Si to act so quickly. He rushed over not long after the assistant sneaked out.

At Ji Zhengxuan's signal, several men in black stepped forward and took away Song Si's gun. As someone from the entertainment industry, she didn't even have a chance to resist.

Ji Zhengxuan said kindly: "Go see your son."

"you!"

Song Si was speechless when she saw Mu Guichao lying on the bed. She stumbled to the bed and stroked his face with her hand, "Guichao, wake up! You know you are the only one I can rely on. The Mu family is yours! I have paved the way for you..."

Ji Zhengxuan found the intermittent confession boring. After all, everything she said was based on the premise that Mu Guichao was still alive.

"Watch them." Ji Zhengxuan instructed the man in black. He turned his wheelchair and walked out of the study. When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Song Si, who was already half crazy. "Do you know who has harmed him to this point?"

Song Si's eyes were filled with terrifying bloodshot. She stared at Ji Zhengxuan like a vengeful ghost, "Who is it? I want him to die miserably! Is it those bitches from the third room? I know how they can hide from the world. They must have made arrangements long ago. They just want to swallow up everything in the Mu family!"

Ji Zhengxuan suddenly felt that her role as the second wife was ridiculous. In the end, she didn't even know who her enemy was.

He smiled and said, "It's Cai Ninglian."

Ji Zhengxuan's voice seemed to still echo in the room, entangled with Song Si's screams and the fate of the people in this house, for a long time.

The lights in the Mu residence would only be turned off at night, and there would be a faint glow of candlelight on the wall, like the flickering human hearts.

This was not the first time that Ji Zhengxuan spent the night at Mu's house, but this was probably the only time in the records that the banquet was a complete mess.

As the guests left, the Mu residence fell into a long-lost silence. He turned his wheelchair to the window of the corridor on the first floor, looked at the clear moon in the night sky, and slowly exhaled.

He has probably paid off all the love and resentment.

In Mu Daying's room, Shen Zhao briefly told Mu Yanchen and Situ Rui what she knew.

Situ Rui stood aside, looking at Mu Yanchen solemnly, "That is to say, because of the wine tonight, the boss has been treated and suppressed for many days, which can delay the onset of the poison, but the poison will definitely break out tonight, and it is hard to say when it will happen."

Shen Zhao nodded heavily. Mu Yanchen squeezed her hand vigorously and comforted her, "Don't be afraid. The poison hasn't taken effect yet, right?"

Shen Zhao stared at him and held his hand. "Yes, that's right. Don't you still have me? I haven't settled accounts with you yet. I won't let you die!"

She looked at Situ Rui firmly, "Did you bring the Night Devouring Flower's Halo Essence? As far as I know, the species that can counteract the Firefly Flower is in the Cai family. Can we sneak into the Cai family?"

Situ Rui pondered and thought, "I brought it. The Cai family has been in decline for many years. If those things are so precious, they should have preserved them properly. I guess they don't necessarily exist in the wild."

Shen Zhao agreed. She stood up from the chair, turned around and looked down at Mu Yanchen. She bent down slightly, her eyes rippling with emotions that only he could understand, as if she had looked at him like this in the infirmary that year. Then she took the initiative to lean over, their breaths lingering, and he seemed to smell that cold sweet fragrance again.

He was sure that she remembered and didn't hold it against him.

But the next sentence made him lose his mind.

"Let me protect you this time."
