Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Time flies like an arrow, and a whole week has passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Su Yun dialed Mu Chen's number many times, but each time she heard the cold, impersonal message—the other party was temporarily unavailable. This situation made Su Yun feel anxious and worried. After all, Mu Chen hadn't mentioned that it would take a whole week when he left.

Filled with unease, Su Yun decided to go to the front yard to find Mother Mu, hoping to get the latest news about Mu Chen from her. As she stepped into the living room, she keenly noticed a hint of barely concealed sadness in Mother Mu's eyes. However, the moment Su Yun approached, Mother Mu quickly adjusted her expression, forcing a smile as she asked, "Su Su, you're here! Is something the matter?"

Without hesitation, Su Yun got straight to the point: "Mom, something's really wrong. I've been calling Mu Chen for the past two days, but no one's answering. Have you received any news about him?"

Mrs. Mu nodded slightly and replied softly, "Well, Su Su, maybe Mu Chen is busy with work. I'll call him myself in a little while and ask. By the way, how are you? How have you been lately? Have you been feeling unwell anywhere?" Clearly, Mrs. Mu was trying to steer the conversation away from Mu Chen's whereabouts.

Su Yun was incredibly clever and naturally sensed the evasiveness in her mother's words. However, she didn't expose her immediately, but politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, Mom. I'm perfectly fine, nothing's bothering me. In that case, Mother, please rest well. I won't disturb you any longer and will go back now." With that, Su Yun turned and left the living room, her heart filled with growing unease about Mu Chen's condition.

Su Yun hurried into the courtyard and headed straight for the antique-style pavilion. At that moment, Xiao Hei, who was having a great time playing with Xiao Bai and snatching toys from him, was stunned by his sudden action and stood frozen in place.

"Why did you suddenly come up here?" Little Black blinked its big, round eyes, which were like two black gems, and asked with a puzzled look. As it spoke, it shook its fluffy little head, looking quite adorable.

Su Yun's face was grave, his brows furrowed, his lips trembling slightly, and his tone was extremely anxious: "I urgently need your help, Xiao Hei." His gaze was fixed on Xiao Hei, as if he had placed all his hopes on this small and exquisite little black creature.

Hearing Su Yun's urgent words, Xiao Hei, who had been lazily basking in the sun on the windowsill and looking somewhat listless, instantly perked up. It sat up abruptly, its beady black eyes sparkling with excitement, and eagerly replied, "Hmm? What kind of help is it, Master? As long as it's within my ability, I will do my best to complete it. Please just give the order!"

Seeing this, Su Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the worry between her brows remained. She slowly frowned and continued anxiously, "Recently, I don't know what's wrong with Mu Chen. I've called him many times, but I can't get through. And whenever I ask Mu's mother about this, she always speaks evasively and hesitantly, as if she's intentionally hiding something important. These unusual behaviors are really making me uneasy, so I wanted to ask you to go to the front yard and investigate to see if you can find out the reason."

"Alright, Master! Leave this to me! You can rest assured and wait for my good news." Little Black agreed confidently. Before it finished speaking, it flapped its light wings with lightning speed, and like a black lightning bolt, it flew out of the attic window and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Little Black had arrived in the front yard and quietly perched on a glass window. It pretended to doze off, but in reality, it kept a close eye on its surroundings. Because of its small size and agile movements, it didn't attract anyone's attention. And so, Little Black contentedly became Su Yun's little spy, intently gathering information about Mu Chen.

Just then, a figure caught Xiao Hei's eye. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, walking hurriedly. Xiao Hei stared intently, and a series of images flashed through his mind like a movie—"Isn't that Mu Chen's secretary!"

Like a wary little animal, Xiao Hei cautiously pricked up its furry ears, concentrating intently on trying to hear what the person in the room was saying. However, perhaps because the room was so well soundproofed, Xiao Hei listened for a long time but couldn't catch a single sound.

Unwilling to give up, Little Black crept stealthily into the house like a black lightning bolt. It nimbly darted behind the sofa and quietly hid in a secluded corner. Now much closer to the source of the sound, Little Black could finally hear the conversation clearly coming from inside.

The secretary said in a heavy voice, "The president is still in a coma. Although the bullet has been successfully removed, the situation is not optimistic. The doctor said... the chances of survival are slim! The bullet went straight through his heart..."

Upon hearing this, Mu's mother, who had been sitting upright to the side, felt instantly dizzy and struck by lightning, as if her entire world had collapsed at that moment. Unable to accept such a cruel reality, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she collapsed onto the sofa. However, even though she was heartbroken, Mu's mother knew she had to force herself to stay strong and absolutely could not let Su Yun, who was pregnant, notice anything amiss that could affect the fetus.

Meanwhile, Mr. Mu had already rushed out to deal with the tense situation facing the company. After all, as a business tycoon, the Mu family could not afford to waver or back down at such a critical moment.

Trying to calm herself down, Mother Mu repeatedly instructed the secretary in a slightly trembling but still firm voice: "Remember, this matter must not be revealed to anyone. Our competitors are watching us closely, and if the news leaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Also, Su Yun is currently resting and taking care of her pregnancy, so we absolutely cannot let her suffer any stimulation or harm."

After the secretary left, Xiao Hei, who had been hiding in the shadows, seized the opportunity and slipped out of the room silently. It ran all the way back to Su Yun and told him everything it had heard without reservation.
