Chapter 991 - He Is the Only One Who Xu Youning Can Rely on Now

Ironically, it was indeed the fact that Mu Sijue did not know until now that he had misunderstood Xu Youning.

Su Jian’an was right. From the beginning, Xu Youning knew that Kang Ruicheng was the murderer of Granny Xu.

Xu Youning had been bound by a common destiny with Granny Xu since she was a child. She was used to shouldering everything alone because she cared about Granny Xu. When she found out that Kang Ruicheng had killed Granny Xu, her first reaction was to take revenge on him.

At that time, Xu Youning was working undercover around him, so he was unwilling to admit his feelings for Xu Youning, and he even said that he only had carnal feelings for her because she was young and new to him.

Anyone who heard that would no longer be hopeful about him.

It was he who made Xu Youning give up on him.

After the car accident, Xu Youning lay on the hospital bed and confessed her love for him boldly and firmly.

Unfortunately, he had already known that Xu Youning was working undercover around him. He thought that she was just trying to get close to him by confessing her love, so he did not respond to her.

If he had believed Xu Youning and faced his feelings, all these things would not have happened.

However, the moment he found out that Xu Youning was working undercover for Kang Ruicheng, he wanted to strangle her. How could he believe Xu Youning then?

After Granny Xu’s death, Mu Sijue let Xu Youning go for the first time.

He had thought that when they met again, either Xu Youning or he would die.

However, the intersection of their fates did not come to an end just like that.

When he took Xu Youning away from the private hospital, she should have known about her condition. Not only did he fail to find her condition, but he also made Xu Youning get pregnant and made it worse.

For the second time, Xu Youning escaped. At that time, she probably did not know that she had had a baby in her belly. She just wanted to hide her illness and go back to take revenge on Kang Ruicheng.

What did Xu Youning think before jumping out of the car?

Did she think that she might as well go back to Kang Ruicheng and work undercover so that she could avenge Granny Xu’s death and help him get rid of Kang Ruicheng faster? Anyway, it was hopeless for her to survive.

Not long after Xu Youning left, Su Jian’an told him that Xu Youning might know the truth. She returned to Kang Ruicheng just to work undercover.

Mu Sijue admitted that at that moment, he was extremely frightened.

He threw out the bait, led Xu Youning into the trap, took her to the top of the mountain, and forced her to stay.

No matter what he said, Xu Youning refused to admit that she did know that Kang Ruicheng was the murderer of Granny Xu.

At that time, Xu Youning thought that the child had no vital signs, so in order not to make him feel sad and suffer the pain of losing both her and their child, she stubbornly wanted to return to Kang Ruicheng and do her part.

It was not until the doctor told Xu Youning that the child was still healthy that she happily agreed to marry him.

At that moment, Xu Youning really wanted to stay, give birth to the child, and be with him forever. She just did not know how to tell him about her illness.

Later, no one expected that Kang Ruicheng would kidnap Aunt Zhou and Tang Yulan crazily, whom they had no chance to rescue.

After Aunt Zhou came back, Kang Ruicheng was still torturing Tang Yulan in a cruel and inhuman way. Unless he sent Xu Youning back to Kang Ruicheng, Tang Yulan would die.

Xu Youning was pregnant, and it was also impossible for Mu Sijue to send her to Kang Ruicheng, so he offered to go to Kang Ruicheng in exchange for Tang Yulan.

Kang Ruicheng had always wanted to kill him, so he would certainly not let go of such a good deal.

Mu Sijue did not expect that the deal would upset Xu Youning.

Xu Youning repeatedly emphasized that he was not allowed to take risks. She knew better than anyone that once Mu Sijue went to Kang Ruicheng, he might never come back.

Then, Mu Sijue caught Xu Youning holding an empty bottle of Mifepristone and Misoprostol.

After knowing about the efficacy of Mifepristone and Misoprostol, Mu Sijue was still unwilling to believe that Xu Youning had really given up her child until the doctor told him that the child had no vital signs, which was probably caused by drugs.

At that time, Xu Youning probably did not know why the child had no vital signs again. She might even think, as he thought, that the child would never have a chance to come to this world.

Xu Youning felt that it was meaningless for her to stay after the child was gone. She might as well take the risk and rescue Tang Yulan on his behalf.

In order to return to the Kang family, she told him with certainty that her promise to marry him was just a stalling tactic. She also said that she had never believed in him and did not want to keep the child. Instead, she’d like to go back to Kang Ruicheng.

It was an undeniable fact that the child had no vital signs.

Mu Sijue bought Xu Youning’s story and pressed the gun against her forehead.

If it weren’t for his love for Xu Youning, he might have shot at her that day.

But now, all his resentment and hatred had become meaningless jokes.

He gnashed his teeth in regret, but it could not change the fact that Xu Youning was in danger.

The only thing he could do now was to help Xu Youning hide the fact that the child was still alive, find a great doctor for her, and bring her back from the Kang family.

This time, once he made any mistake, Xu Youning would die.

Mu Sijue had been trained for superior judgment and reaction by his elders since he was a child. No matter how fierce the storm was, he had to break through alone.

This was the reason why he could solve everything calmly now.

But this time, he admitted that he was afraid.

He was afraid that he was not thoughtful enough and his action was not fast enough so that Xu Youning would not wait for the day when he picked her up.

He was even more afraid that Xu Youning would die suddenly and leave the world forever.

He could not bear to lose her.

Su Jian’an stood at the door and looked at Mu Sijue from a moderate distance, not knowing what to say.

In her impression, Mu Sijue was mysterious and powerful with an aura of oppression. His handsome features were always covered with a sense of frightening coldness, and he also had an overwhelming aura, making people involuntarily bend to him.

She had always felt that Mu Sijue was the king of the Dark World.

However, at this moment, the king’s face was suffused with a touch of secular sorrow. His eagle eyes, which acted as a great deterrent, actually turned as red as blood.

“I totally misunderstood her.”

This was the first time that Su Jian’an had heard Mu Sijue speak in such a self-deprecating tone. He was obviously disgusted with himself.

Su Jian’an thought for a moment and decided to say something comforting. “Sijue, it’s not too late. We can find a way to take away Youning. In addition, this is Youning’s choice. You don’t have to blame yourself.”

“…” Mu Sijue compressed his thin lips hard and slowly calmed down. “Her condition is getting worse and worse. Also, she is in danger now.”

During the long time when Xu Youning stayed at the top of the mountain, Mu Sijue had never seen an attack of her illness.

This morning, on the bar street, he came across her and saw her sweating with a pale face.

There was no doubt that Xu Youning’s condition must have worsened.

Kang Ruicheng was very concerned about Xu Youning now. After knowing that Xu Youning was sick, he would definitely find a doctor for her, and Xu Youning was bound to have a series of examinations.

Thus, Kang Ruicheng would know about the child.

Su Jian’an was quick-witted, and she gasped at the thought of that. “We forgot to ask Doctor Liu if Kang Ruicheng knew about Youning’s pregnancy!”

Mu Sijue called his men in, and they did have Doctor Liu’s number.

He sent Doctor Liu’s number to Su Jian’an and asked her to contact Doctor Liu. Then he went out to the balcony and called to confirm another thing.

In the living room, Su Jian’an quickly dialed Doctor Liu’s number. After the call was connected, she did not care about courtesy and said directly, “This is Su Jian’an. Doctor Liu, there’s another very important thing. You should know about it. Does Kang Ruicheng know that Youning is pregnant?”

“Yes,” Doctor Liu said.

Su Jian’an opened her mouth but could not say a word.

She only felt a chill over her head, as if she had been thrown into an extremely cold world of ice and snow.

Doctor Liu continued, “But Kang Ruicheng thought that Ms. Xu’s child had no vital signs, and he didn’t know that the child is still alive. Moreover, Kang Ruicheng won’t get rid of Miss Xu’s child for the time being. You and Mr. Mu can rest assured.”

Su Jian’an was relieved and could finally feel the warmth of the world again, but she could not figure out one thing.

Since Kang Ruicheng knew that Xu Youning was pregnant, how could he not get rid of her child? He was a crazily possessive person, so he should want to kill the child in Youning’s belly as soon as possible, right?

Doctor Liu seemed to have guessed Su Jian’an’s doubt and told her everything that Xu Youning had hidden from Kang Ruicheng.

After listening, Su Jian’an was completely stunned. She grabbed the mobile phone and stood still at a loss. Her mind went blank…

At this time, Mu Sijue just ended the call. He came back from the balcony with a frown and saw Su Jian’an be stunned in the living room. He suddenly had a bad feeling. “Jian’an, what’s wrong?”

Su Jian’an looked at Mu Sijue in a daze and repeated Doctor Liu’s words.

“Youning and Doctor Liu worked together to deceive Kang Ruicheng. Doctor Liu took out the result of Youning’s first pregnancy checkup, so that Kang Ruicheng believed that Youning’s child was indeed dead. Youning then told Kang Ruicheng that if he got rid of the child in her belly, she might die in the operation. Therefore, Kang Ruicheng did not dare to hurt Youning’s child for the time being, but…”

What Su Jian’an would say was self-evident, and she failed to go on.

Mu Sijue was right. Xu Youning did think of a way to keep the child a secret.

However, this method was too risky.

Thinking of what he had just found out, Mu Sijue was stunned with a pale face.

Su Jian’an noticed Mu Sijue’s abnormality and asked in confusion, “Sijue, what did you find out?”

If she guessed correctly, Mu Sijue went to the balcony and made a phone call just to find out something else.

Could it be possible for Mu Sijue to be sure that Xu Youning was in great danger now according to her news and what he just had found out?
