Chapter 1019: Youning, I’m Close to You

Xu Youning knew Kang Ruicheng’s traits very well after all the years she had been with him.

She knew that everyone, including Mumu, had to leave him alone when he was angry.

So, she pulled Mumu back and shook her head at him, indicating that she was fine and he should stop asking.

Mumu looked doubtfully at Kang Ruicheng with his head tilted. Intimidated by Kang Ruicheng’s sullen look, he held Xu Youning’s hand silently.

Xu Youning tried her best to pretend nothing had happened and walked toward the sofa with Mumu.

Deep down, she was sweating buckets.

Before Xu Youning and Mumu sat on the sofa, Kang Ruicheng blurted out, “A Ning, if the test results were irregular, no one could help you, including Mumu.”

His words held a certain warning.

Xu Youning tensed up and she felt Mumu gripping her hand even more tightly.

“Is he even more worried than me?” she thought.

Strangely, her fear faded away the moment she felt Mumu’s worry. She turned around and looked into Kang Ruicheng’s eyes calmly. “What would you do to me if no one could help me? Hopefully, you can find something unusual.”

Kang Ruicheng stared at her silently with a piercing look. He didn’t expect Xu Youning to be so composed.

Ignoring his stare, Xu Youning held Mumu’s hand and spoke to him as if Kang Ruicheng was not present, “Let’s sit here.”

Mumu sat down obediently and gave Xu Youning a thumbs-up when Kang Ruicheng was not paying attention to them. “You were amazing!” he mouthed silently.

Xu Youning secretly gave him a high-five with a smile on her face. She knew that Mumu praised her for having the courage to talk back.

Actually, that was all she could do because she was almost at the end of her tether. But it was too abstruse for Mumu to understand.

To put it another way, she just pretended to be certain of the facts.

Anyway, there would be two kinds of examination results. One was that the doctor found her child was still alive, which proved that she lied to Kang Ruicheng, and the other was the opposite.

However, there was no need to worry as long as the results were not out yet.

What if she was lucky enough to pull it off again?

Or what if the doctor who ran the tests for her had been arranged by Mu Sijue and he would help her hide it from Kang Ruicheng?

Anyway, she was still optimistic about it even though the doctor had been rather mean to her.

So, all she had to do now was wait for the examination results.

When she was waiting for the results anxiously, Mu Sijue arrived near the hospital.

There were two paths in front of him.

If he turned left, he would get to the hospital, where Xu Youning was.

If he drove straight forward, he would get to the block in front of the hospital, but it was a short distance away from Xu Youning.

If the hospital had not been that heavily guarded, Mu Sijue would rush into the hospital, fight with Kang Ruicheng, and forcibly bring Xu Youning back.

He would be more likely win the fight with Kang Ruicheng in the hospital rather than in his house.

However, it would be an impulsive decision to rush into the hospital now.

The hospital was heavily guarded by Kang Ruicheng’s men, so he was not sure he could succeed. If he failed, Xu Youning and the child might die.

Mu Sijue thought for a second as he looked at the road to the hospital. “Head straight to TC Building,” he ordered coldly.

Once a suitable opportunity presented itself, he would definitely save Xu Youning and bring her back.

But this was not the right time.

“Yes, sir!”

The driver sped up immediately, and they arrived at TC Building in less than two minutes.

TC Building was an office building owned by Lu Enterprises. The offices on the 18th floor had been vacated and had not been rented out.

Lu Boyan said that one could see the Eighth People’s Hospital gate from the 18th floor of the building and even see almost the whole hospital from the largest office there.

In other words, Mu Sijue could see Xu Youning from the offices on the 18th floor anytime she came in and out of the hospital.

Mu Sijue thought it would be a good opportunity. So, he immediately ordered his men to lurk about in advance upon receiving the news that Kang Ruicheng had made a health examination appointment for Xu Youning.

And here he was at the site too.

He got off the car, walked into the building, and went straight into the elevator.

He pressed the button for the 18th floor. As the number lit up, the elevator doors closed slowly and made its way up, level by level.

Mu Sijue clenched his hands into fists silently.

He couldn’t appear in the hospital even though it was closer to Xu Youning.

It would be dangerous for Xu Youning if Kang Ruicheng found him. Therefore, it was the best choice to watch them from here.

But he would do more than just watch.

The ding sound was heard in less than one minute. As the elevator doors slid open, half of the empty office appeared in front of Mu Sijue.

“Seventh Brother.” One of his men greeted Mu Sijue and gestured for Mu Sijue to follow him. “We’ve arranged everything.”

Led by that man, Mu Sijue walked into the largest office.

The whole office was vacant, except for curtains at the windows.

With the curtains closed, the whole office could not be seen from outside. There was a telescope by the window.

Mu Sijue walked toward the telescope and saw the hospital gate through it, which meant that he could see Youning when she walked through there.

He closed the lens cap and looked at the Captain beside him. “Have you discovered anything?”

Before Kang Ruicheng and Xu Youning arrived at the hospital, the Captain came here with his men, so Mu Sijue assumed they might have discovered something.

“We saw Kang Ruicheng and Ms. Xu going into the hospital,” the Captain continued after a moment of hesitation, “Besides, the whole hospital is guarded by Kang Ruicheng’s men, so it’s difficult for us to get in there and save Ms. Xu.”

Mu Sijue did not say anything. It was obviously bad news for him.

The Captain glanced at Mu Sijue and continued, “Seventh Brother, all of us are ready to rescue Ms. Xu. We’re not afraid to fight with Kang Ruicheng and even lose our lives for it as long as you tell us to do it.”

The other men remained silent, which meant they agreed with the Captain. All of them would do anything to get Xu Youning out to safety.

Mu Sijue glanced at them.

Xu Youning was important to him, but he couldn’t let his men risk their lives.

The Captain signaled to them with his eyes, telling them to go out. “Seventh Brother, we’ll wait outside. Call us if you need anything,” he said.

Even though he didn’t know what Mu Sijue was thinking about, he thought it would be good to leave him alone now.

Mu Sijue adjusted the angle of the telescope, enabling him to get a better view of more people through it. But none of them was Xu Youning.

He checked the time. He assumed that Xu Youning should be waiting for the examination results in the lounge at the moment.

The lounge was well-hidden, which was why it was chosen by Kang Ruicheng. Due to its special angle, Mu Sijue could not see what was going on there through the telescope unless Xu Youning came out of the lounge.

To prevent Xu Youning from exposing herself, the doctor would not tell Xu Youning that he was Mu Sijue’s man. So, Xu Youning might be waiting for the results in the lounge. She might not have left yet.

Mu Sijue closed the curtain to cover the telescope and walked out of the office. His men were busy with their work. No one was chatting and no one was relaxed.

Seeing Mu Sijue, the Captain walked over and said, “Seventh Brother, everything is under control.”

“Okay.” Mu Sijue exuded a cold and vicious aura and his pupils contracted slightly. “Keep an eye on them, and don’t let any chance slip by,” he ordered.

“Yes, sir!” The Captain nodded.

Mu Sijue looked out of the window. He could see the outpatient clinics of the hospital from here.

Xu Youning was in some room there, but she didn’t know he was close to her now.

Xu Youning had been waiting for 25 minutes in the lounge.

She would get the examination results in five minutes.

Xu Youning was on the edge of her seat.

However, she had to pretend to be calm because she could by no means expose her secret.

Mumu, sitting by her, grabbed her hand hard and glanced at her from time to time to show his support.

Instead of showing any concern, Kang Ruicheng stood aside coldly, waiting for the results that would determine Xu Youning’s life.

The door was pushed open five minutes later, but the doctor didn’t come in but stood outside with the report in his hand.

Kang Ruicheng turned around, walked out, and closed the white door as if he had a tacit agreement with the doctor.

Mumu stood up, looking at the door with an anxious and confused expression. “What is the doctor going to talk about with daddy?”

He was too anxious to wait for Xu Youning’s answer.

When he strode out, Xu Youning stopped him in time and shook her head at him. “Mumu, let’s wait for your daddy here.”

Mumu knew that Xu Youning kept something from Kang Ruicheng. As a little boy, he was afraid that Xu Youning would expose her secret. “But…” He looked at her with anxiety written on his small face.

Xu Youning gave him a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

Mumu chose to believe Xu Youning. He nodded and sat down beside her again.

Outside the lounge, the doctor asked as he handed Xu Youning’s pregnancy examination report to Kang Ruicheng, “Mr. Kang, do you need me to explain it to you?”

Kang Ruicheng knew little about medicine, so he said with a sullen face, “Yes.”

“I see. Medicine is not your major after all.” The doctor smiled. “Don’t worry. Let me explain it to you.”

With a snort, Kang Ruicheng looked at the baby’s profile in the report with a cold expression. “Tell me if the child is alive. That’s all I want to know.”

The doctor cast a meaningful glance at the report. Then, he recited the answer that Mu Sijue had ordered him to memorize to tell Kang Ruicheng.
