Chapter 390: 390

The mountain club…





Mu Sijue normally came here to see Lu Boyan, just like today .

He arrived early, sitting on the couch, relaxing . In front of him was an exquisite glass of wine .

The light shone brightly from the ceiling, covering the whole room, but it still couldn’t illuminate his domineering quality, which was covered in darkness .

A few minutes later, the door was opened . Lu Boyan explained while he was walking into the room, “I went home and had dinner with Jianan . ”

“I knew it . ” Mu Sijue showed no surprise . But… “Where is Yuechuan?”

Shen Yuechuan always followed behind Lu Boyan . But today, Lu Boyan arrived and Shen Yuechuan was absent . It didn’t seem right .

“Something happened to Yunyun, and Yuechuan went there to deal with it,” Lu Boyan said, “so he is not coming today . ”

“You mean Jianan’s cousin, Yunyun?” Mu Sijue was confused . “She works in a hospital . How big could her problem be? Big enough that Yuechuan needed to handle it himself?”

Lu Boyan smirked with special meaning . “He wants to be Jianan’s cousin-in-law . How could I let go of this opportunity?”

Mu Sijue understood immediately .

He originally thought that someone like Shen Yuechuan, who was spontaneous and did not have a care in the world, could run away from his destiny of falling in love and be a libertine forever .

But it seemed that none of them could go against fate .

Lu Boyan sat on the couch next to Mu Sijue . When the waiter was about to fill his glass, he was stopped by Lu Boyan .

The waiter comprehended his action right away . “Mr . Lu, please wait, I will get some tea for you . ”

“I don’t understand . ” Mu Sijue lay on the couch comfortably, but with confusion in his eyes . “I know Jianan doesn’t like the smell of cigarettes and wine, but she can’t see you right now . Just gargle before you go home . Is it necessary to be this careful?”

Ever since Lu Boyan married Su Jianan, he barely drank . And especially now that Su Jianan was pregnant, he normally wouldn’t drink, not even a sip, as if Su Jianan was monitoring him 24/7 .





“I don’t want to lie to her . ” Lu Boyan sounded plain, but spoke with complete seriousness .

Mu Sijue couldn’t understand, so he gave up discussing it . “Back to the real problem . I brought Xu Youning for the collapse incident of Fanting Garden . ”

Lu Boyan took a sip of his tea and indicated for Mu Sijue to go on .

“Last time, you asked me to investigate the collapse incident of Fanting Garden, and I brought two people here: Ah Guang and Xu Youning . But the only person who participated in the investigation was Xu Youning . I highly suspect her . ”

Lu Boyan was preparing his tea, unbothered . “What makes you suspect her?”

Mu Sijue analyzed it in detail . “It is impossible to make a line of buildings collapse without using bombs . But nobody mentioned any sound of explosion in their testimony . So I think that Kang Ruicheng may have used a kind of newly innovated bomb that we’ve never seen before .

“However, no matter how new the bomb was, there must be traces of it if it exploded in Fanting Garden . I looked for it twice that day, but couldn’t find a thing . That led to one conclusion—Xu Youning had found something before I did and had hidden it . ”

Lu Boyan looked at Mu Sijue . “There was only Xu Youning and you there . Did you notice anything about her?”

That night, he did a deep search twice in succession and found nothing . That’s when he felt it odd, but he didn’t suspect Xu Youning at that moment . Even though there was only Xu Youning and him, which was so obvious, he still dressed her wound after they went back to the mansion .

“She is the best undercover agent I have ever seen . ” Mu Sijue chose not to answer Lu Boyan’s question directly . “She used everything that was in her favor thoroughly . Like she always made her best effort to work for me, and she was very close with Ah Guang and the others, as if they were biologically related . If I revealed her true identity to them, they would think that I was insane . ”

Lu Boyan was not going to let Mu Sijue keep his words vague . “You knew that she was the insider but you didn’t do anything . This is unlike you . ”

Mu Sijue scoffed, “Because she still can be used . Maybe she can help us uncover the truth of the collapse incident of Fanting Garden . ”

“If she really wanted to give us a hand, she could do it when you first took her to the scene . ” Lu Boyan asked, “What’s your plan this time to make her help us?”

“I am gonna wait for her to turn the stuff in herself . ” After a pause, Mu Sijue continued, “This is the last chance she will have . ”

“What if she refuses to do so?”

“This is what I was gonna tell you today,” Mu Sijue said sluggishly . “If she’s still determined to work for Kang Ruicheng, I will ‘take care of’ her . But in this way, Jianan can no longer be kept in the dark . ”





Out of expectation, Lu Boyan didn’t show much concern for Su Jianan . “Jianan would be devastated if she knew the truth . Still, she would move on eventually . But you, you are gonna be sorry for the rest of your life . ”

“What do you mean by that?” Mu Sijue tried to be cool, but his tone became stifled .

People who knew Mu Sijue well would recognize that that was how he reacted when his mind had been exposed .

“You know exactly what I mean . ” Lu Boyan met Mu Sijue when he was 16 . They were both clear-minded and had no need to be changed or advised by each other . But this time, Lu Boyan was nearly trying to persuade him . “Sijue, there are only two things that are irreparable—time and people . Make your choice with caution . ”

Mu Sijue knew that there was no way he could hide his secret, so he grinned wryly . “Yeah, I have feelings for Xu Youning . But making me fall in love with her could be a part of her scheme . There are so many women in the pool . She is replaceable at any time, and she is just an insider . I wouldn’t feel sorry for it for my entire life . ”


“Replace?” Lu Boyan threw a wet blanket on Mu Sijue . “It’s useless . Even if you can find someone who looks like her and has the same personality as her, deep down, you’ll know that is not her . ”

True love can never be replaced in the whole world .

“What is this?” Mu Sijue said half-jokingly, “Sharing your experiences?”

Lu Boyan didn’t decline . He then talked about something else with Mu Sijue and left the room afterward .

Mu Sijue was anxious . He asked Lu Boyan to use the normal walkway with him . Walking down the hallway, they were heading to take the tourist elevator .

Whenever Mu Sijue felt upset, he loved to hide in the crowd .

There was a lady shouting right before they took the elevator, “Steven!”

It was rare to hear somebody calling out Lu Boyan’s English name after he had returned . That’s why he hesitated a little before he was able to react . He turned around and saw a familiar face .

Mu Sijue recognized her quickly . Xia Mili, Lu Boyan’s college friend, was in the same team as Lu Boyan . She was a very hard-working person and was also the only girl who was able to be relatively close to Lu Boyan at college compared to others .

Back in the old days, Lu Boyan was an influential person at college . Plenty of girls secretly or openly fell for him . However, he was distant to everyone, except for Xia Mili, with whom he would chit-chat a little bit sometime .

There was even a bet in college about whether they would get together or not .





Xia Mili was like a heroine in college . The overseas students called her “Badass” . She never failed to get what she wanted . And she liked Lu Boyan in a pretty obvious way . Most of the people believed that she could get him .

They never got together though . Xia Mili later said “yes” to a loaded guy’s proposal . They had their wedding after graduation . Xia Mili got a green card and stayed in America, while Lu Boyan moved the headquarters back to City A . They never had any contact since then .

Some people thought that it was a shame . But Mu Sijue knew why Lu Boyan didn’t turn Xia Mili down now . He wasn’t surprised at all .

“Emily . ” Lu Boyan was used to calling Xia Mili by her English name . He reached out his hand to her . “It’s been a long time . ”

“That’s it? After this long?” Xia Mili beamed and gave Lu Boyan a hug out of courtesy . “Now we’re talking . ”

Lu Boyan smiled . “What are you doing here?”

“I got transferred back to City A . ” Xia Mili shrugged . “My company intended to cooperate with you, didn’t they? My boss knew that I was your classmate and that I was from City A, so I got transferred back . I was gonna surprise you in your office as the representative . I didn’t expect that I would run into you here . It’s been a while really . Why don’t we go for a drink and catch up?”

“Maybe next time . ” Lu Boyan checked the time . “It’s a little bit late, and my wife is waiting for me at home . ”

“Okay, I guess . ” Xia Mili didn’t appear disappointed nor surprised . She waved at Lu Boyan . “See you . ”

“Bye . ”

The elevator door opened at that moment, and Lu Boyan got in and went down . Mu Sijue laughed weirdly . “Are you gonna confess to Jianan?”

“It’s not necessary,” Lu Boyan said . “Xia Mili and I are just old classmates who ran into each other unexpectedly . If I told Jianan all of a sudden, she would think too much into it . ”

Su Jianan was now pregnant . With her unstable condition, the last thing Lu Boyan wanted to see was her emotions becoming unstable as well .

Mu Sijue didn’t say anything . They separated in the parking lot .

It was nearly 11 when Lu Boyan got home, but the lights in the living room were still on . Additionally, it wasn’t Su Jianan sitting there on the couch, it was Tang Yulan .

The little baby sweater for boys that Tang Yulan had been knitting was nearly done .

Lu Boyan was somewhat astonished . “Mom, what are you doing here?”

“After having dinner, I wanted to check on Jianan, so I came over . ” Tang Yulan didn’t look up . “You hadn’t even come back when I was about to leave . And also it was a bit late, so Jianan asked me to stay for the night . ”

Lu Boyan noticed the anger from her tone, and continued, “It’s getting late . Why are you still up?”

“Jianan fell asleep while waiting for you . And I was afraid that you might feel lonely when you got back, seeing nothing but darkness, so I have been waiting for you here . ” Tang Yulan finally raised her head, looking steadily at Lu Boyan . “What took you so long to come back?”

“Just had some things to discuss with Sijue at the club on the mountain . ”

Tang Yulan knew that Lu Boyan had been busy, so she didn’t have the heart to hold her anger any longer . “No matter what, you should come back earlier . Jianan is now pregnant, under this unstable condition . Should anything happen to her, what would you do? When I came over, she even tried to explain to me that you had had dinner with her before you left . ”

In the middle of the conversation, Tang Yulan suddenly smelled something abnormal . She pulled Lu Boyan over and sniffed . “It’s Chanel No . 5 . It seems that the girls who Yuechuan and Sijue have been dating are classy . ”

Mu Sijue and Shen Yuechuan took the bullet for him . Lu Boyan had nothing else to say but he explained, “Mom, it was just a friend I ran into . ”

Tang Yulan remained suspicious to some extent . “Don’t be an ass at this moment . Stay away from women like Han Ruoxi . ”

Lu Boyan smiled helplessly . “I know . ”

After all, it was her son . Tang Yulan knew Lu Boyan well and trusted him anyway . She put down the sweater and said, “If you need to work overtime, do it at home if it’s possible . Pregnant women can be emotionally unstable, let alone that Jianan has a special circumstance . You need to accompany her to make her feel secure . ”

Lu Boyan promised to do all the things she said . Finally, Tang Yulan let him off . “It’s getting late, go have some rest . ”
