Chapter 1040: Cut Off Halfway (2)

Ah Mo expression’s clouded over slightly. He fell silent for a moment and then nodded.

“Brother, you’ve considered this thoroughly. No matter what angle we look at this matter from, we’re in a position of being thrown around, so…” he said in his deep voice while worry flashed in his eyes.

“Alright, no need to feel too stressed out. I’ll resolve what needs to be resolved. You just have to be responsible for your own safety. Leave the rest to me.” Mu Yuchen’s voice had a hint of consolation that made Ah Mo’s tensed chest ease slightly.

Ah Mo thought about it, then lowered his voice to ask, “Bro, do we want to get people to watch Gu Qiwu and secretly observe Doris’s movements?”

“Just go with the original orders. I did get some news from Ah Bao about you,” Mu Yuchen said, then his deep eyes looked up at Ah Mo, and a thought-provoking smile widened on his face.

“About me?” Shocked, Ah Mo tilted his head in puzzlement. “Why is it about me?”

Mu Yuchen held up his tea and took a short sip of it, then smiled faintly. “Gu Qiwu’s people were investigating you. They’ve probably collected some materials by now. No matter what his aim is, I’m sure he’s vigilant against you.”

Ah Mo’s expression changed. He pondered for a bit and responded, “What did he want to find out?”

“He might not necessarily have wanted to find out anything. Perhaps it’s just because of Lingshi, so it’s best if you’re more alert as well since he might just meet you at any time.”

Ah Mo’s expression shifted. Shortly after that, he answered, “I got it, Brother!”

…

When the family was done with dinner, they sat around for a bit before Mu Yuchen and Xi Xiaye returned to Maple Residence because they were worried, so they made Mu Lingshi stay at the old Mu residence while Ah Mo returned to the villa by himself.

However, at that moment, what Mu Yuchen predicted earlier quickly came true.

Ah Mo was driving alone. Although he was a skilled driver, the old Mu residence was still quite far from his place, so he sped along the way. The suburbs late at night were extremely quiet, the streetlights were a little dull. From time to time, you could see a car or two speeding past.

He had just driven out of the byway and was about to accelerate ahead when suddenly there was a piercing light from in front. Subconsciously, he squinted and used his hand to block the strong light. Instinctively, he stepped on the brake!

Screech!

The squeal of urgent braking cut through the night. When Ah Mo stopped, the car in front stopped too. It was only less than 30 centimeters away from him!

Immediately, his vision adapted to the strong light. He was tense as he stared ahead vigilantly.

Someone got down from the car in front quickly. He was tall and lofty, and by the looks of it, he seemed like a very skilled bodyguard. He took a few huge steps to the side of Ah Mo’s car as Ah Mo glared at him.

“Are you Mu Lingmo?” the man in black softly asked through the window.

A sharp, cold light flashed in Ah Mo’s dark eyes as he fixed his gaze on the man. “Who are you? What are you trying to do?”

The man bowed slightly. “Mr. Ah Mo, our boss is asking for you. Please come with us.”

Ah Mo scowled, but he answered very calmly, “Who’s your boss? I don’t know you people. Do you think I’ll just go with you? Tell your people to move away.”

“We’ve long heard about you on the streets, but please don’t worry. Our boss doesn’t have ill intentions. He just wants to talk. In fact, I think you’ll be quite interested in him too. When you see him, you’ll know who he is.”

These words suddenly made Ah Mo recall what Mu Yuchen told him at the old Mu residence. Could it be Gu Qiwu? A light flickered in his eyes as he thought about it for a moment, then nodded. “Alright, it looks like no matter what, I’d have to go with you lot this time!”

Another car came from ahead and blocked Ah Mo’s way too, so it seemed like he had no choice. If it really was Gu Qiwu, then he was interested to take a look. Perhaps he could even obtain some sort of useful information.

“Mr. Ah Mo, you are a frank person indeed! Well, then, let’s go!” said the man before walking around the car, and pulling the door to the front passenger seat open.

The air in the car seemed to suddenly drop in pressure, and there was another layer of stifling air in the narrow space. Nevertheless, Ah Mo started his car quickly and followed the man’s directions. Soon, they reached a private luxury clubhouse in the suburbs.

He followed the man in. They reached a private room where his guide stopped and nodded at the two bodyguards in black at the door. One of them then knocked and opened the door.

“Our boss would like you to enter first. This way.”

Ah Mo’s dark eyes swiftly looked at the two of them. He was about to enter when one of them suddenly came up and wanted to frisk him. However, he refrained from doing so when he saw Ah Mo’s warning gaze.

“Mr. Ah Mo, this is just our routine…”

“Let him come in!” Before the man could answer, a deep voice had already boomed from inside.

“Yes, Boss!”

Then, as the man silently left, Ah Mo walked in.

The private room was huge. As soon as he entered, he could see Gu Qiwu in the chair, looking through a document. He seemed to have been waiting for Ah Mo for quite a while now.

When Ah Mo stopped in front of Gu Qiwu, his sharp eyes quickly examined him with a sinister gaze. Naturally, he knew this was Gu Qiwu. In fact, he knew him quite well too. Even though they had not met all these years, when he was by Mu Yinan’s side, he did have some interactions with the man.

Gu Qiwu was an extremely sophisticated person and was hard to read. Whether it was Mu Yinan or Mu Yuchen, they both did not have many dealings with Gu Qiwu, but they never would have guessed that the person they had been looking for, the man that Mu Zi had been trying so hard to keep a secret about, was Mu Lingtian and Mu Lingshi’s biological father who was sitting right in front of Ah Mo!
