CEO Above, Me Below Chapter 937

Chapter 937 - The truth of the matter

"What do you want to know?"

Finally hearing her voice, Mu Qianchu calmed down and looked forward without moving. Reaching out his hand to feel around, he found a chair and sat down beside her bed.

His aura was as calm as ever, like a monk sitting next to her.

"Everything will start from the moment you meet Gong Ou."

Shi Xiaonian said as she laid on the bed. Looking through the window, no matter how much this room looked like, the scenery outside the window was still different.

There was no vast world, no forest in the distance.

Nothing.

Only a few cellophane crane were gently swaying.

Mu Qianchu sat there, listening to the soft sounds of the cellophane crane, his eyes slightly lowered as he said gently, "Actually, you already guessed it right?"

There were some things that one didn't want to understand, but rather that one didn't want to know.

"…"

Shi Xiaonian remained silent.

"Alright, I'll speak." Mu Qianchu said, "Actually, Gong Ou did not plan to find me out of jealousy, nor did he plan to teach me a lesson. He came to me to confer that Lancaster and his war were on the verge of breaking out, and that you were the inevitable victim, so he asked me to protect you. "

They said that they were discussing, but the reality was that Gong Ou was begging him.

Mu Qianchu thought that it was still unbelievable. A proud person like Gong Ou would kneel to him, and request for a man that he hated to the bones to protect his woman.

The only explanation was that Gong Ou felt that he had reached a dead end.

He knew very well just how great Lancaster's power was. He had once cooperated with Mo Nuo, and that Mo Nuo had all kinds of schemes and monstrous power, let alone the entire Lancaster family.

"…"

Shi Xiaonian lay there and listened, but when she heard the last sentence, she revealed a self-deprecating smile and said hoarsely, "I guessed it, but he won't admit it."

She had sensed Gong Ou's abnormality time and time again, but he kept denying it. He kept saying that he wouldn't leave her and he said that he would always be by her side.

Mu Qianchu sat at the side, silent.

"Actually, I told him that I was willing to leave him and not be a burden to him. However, he still denied it." Shi Xiaonian said, his hoarse voice carried a sadness that only now understood, "So he had other plans."

"This is a dangerous move that he is good at. Judging from Lancaster's recent series of retaliations against you all, they have long since thought of uprooting the entire Gong Jia and had secretly laid down many plans. This is something that no one can defend against."

Mu Qianchu said, "And the move that will deal with you must be Lancaster's most foolproof move, and its power must be the biggest and most elite. If it's only to protect you, then those hidden moves that you can't see will be very difficult to control."

Now that Shi Xiaonian had heard these statements, she was no longer surprised. She followed his instructions and said, "The only thing that can be preempted is for Lancaster to make the first move."

The mantis stalks the cicada, and the yellow sparrow follows.

This was Gong Ou's chess piece. He wanted to protect them perfectly, and also use them as bait to clear out Lancaster's hidden strength.

Mu Qianchu sat on the chair, frowned, and said, "Actually, everything was planned, and Lancaster has never done anything to you. Firstly, it's because the opportunity is not here, and secondly, because the location is not right, so Gong Ou guessed that they wanted to do something to you in City S.

"…"

Shi Xiaonian listened quietly and did not interrupt.

"From that time onwards, Gong Ou had been thinking of how to deal with this power. Until you guys returned to your homeland, he had been planning it all." Mu Qianchu decided to quickly finish everything. This truth was a huge torture to Shi Xiaonian who was heavily injured, "Humiliating Shi Zhong and his wife in public is also a weakness that Gong Ou deliberately exposed to Lancaster. Lancaster has investigated your relationship since young very clearly, and has been making full use of it."

"…"

"As expected, Mo Nuo's father was smart enough to be mistaken. At the same time he used Shi Zhong and his wife, I had been watching him from the shadows." Mu Qianchu said, "Later on, when I secretly found them, they asked me if Shi Di was killed by you and Gong Ou, and I did not deny it."

It was no wonder that her adoptive parents would hate her so much.

Shi Xiaonian closed her eyes in silence. Her long eyelashes were covered with a bit of tears.

"At that time, even Shi Zhong and his wife did not know that the Hill's tribe was Lancaster's base in S City. I had only told them the principle of" dead meat "and promised to go save them in a while." Mu Qianchu said, "Shi Zhong and his wife believed that I was mortal enemies with both of you, so they trusted me very much. Thus, they kept the locator on them the entire time, so the people in Lancaster wouldn't search their bodies."

Of course, the hatred Shi Zhong and his wife had for her was deep inside their bones, a grudge against the loss of their daughter.

"…"

Mu Qianchu didn't even need to explain to him what happened next and he already knew what happened. Then, with his men, Mu Qianchu captured the location of the Hill's tribe.

"Actually, everything is under my control. Hill's tribe is the base camp, but I think that they still have a way to retreat, so I decided to drag out their escape route as well." Mu Qianchu paused here, "It's just that I never thought that you and Gong Yao would resist with your life on the line, and even remembered to use blood to mark the road. I used Gong Ou's method to pass a message to you, telling you to be at ease and wait for help."

Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian laughed at herself once again, tears flowing out of her eyes. "That's because we were stupid, and misunderstood the meaning of the news."

Too stupid.

Too stupid.

Hearing that, Mu Qianchu's brows knitted, "You guys are in the middle of a trap and yet you don't know of the entire plan. It's not strange that you would end up like this, it's all my negligence."

"Without you, we wouldn't even have a chance to live." Shi Xiaonian said.

They asked for it.

and Gong Ou were the ones who gave them the chance to live.

"The plan is forced on us. At least this time, we should have destroyed all of Lancaster's hidden forces in S City." Mu Qianchu sighed lightly, "I just didn't expect that you would receive such heavy injuries."

"…"

Shi Xiaonian lied there and did not say a word.

Mu Qianchu slowly took out a letter from his body and handed it over to her, then said softly and gently, "This is what he gave you, can you read it?"

Him?

Shi Xiaonian's gaze became sluggish as she stretched out her hand, covered entirely in white gauze, and received the envelope. Then, she struggled to sit up on the bed.

Mu Qianchu frowned slightly, "Do you need help?"

"No need."

She pushed herself up, half sitting, and rested against the headboard for a moment, panting.

Mu Qianchu sat quietly, his eyes no longer seeing, but his hearing becoming extremely sharp.

Shi Xiaonian's breathing rhythm was either hurried or slow in his ears.

Shi Xiaonian half sat there, her hands wrapped up so tightly that only a few fingers were left. She opened the envelope with much difficulty bit by bit, and took out a white A4 piece of paper.

She opened the neatly folded paper. The pen on the paper was written in a handwriting that was so strong that she could feel it with her hands.

, I'm sorry.]

Just this line of words.

There was no entanglement, no parting, only this explanation and this apology.

This was all that Gong Ou had to say to her.

He had to lie to her. She couldn't know the whole plan, or it wouldn't be true.

"minuscule thought, are you alright?" Mu Qianchu asked. He could understand Shi Xiaonian's thoughts at that moment, and he said indifferently, "You and the child are the generals on the chessboard to lure the enemy. You and the child are also the generals Gong Ou will defend with his life."

If he died, Chess would lose.

If you can't see through the other party's tricks, it will be even more dangerous.

This was a helpless move.

Shi Xiaonian laughed, laughed until her eyes were covered by a layer of water, and turned to look at Mu Qianchu's face.

Mu Qianchu actually spoke up for Gong Ou.

Gong Ou would actually use her as bait.

Since when did everything change from what she imagined?

Shi Xiaonian sat on the bedside and said to Mu Qianchu, "Do you think I would blame Gong Ou? No, everything he did was right. Look, I was foolish enough to step into the trap set by my foster mother. Isn't this also within Gong Ou's expectations? "

"…"

Mu Qianchu frowned.

"I'm so stupid, if I were to tell you all of my plans, I would destroy them." Shi Xiaonian laughed, the more he laughed, the brighter his eyes shone, and he could not stop himself from laughing, "I am indeed Gong Ou's burden, and could not see through the trap, and misunderstood the news you gave me. Being so riddled with injuries is self-inflicted, I am not qualified to blame anyone."

She's stupid, stupid and incurable.

It was already good that someone was willing to save her, so what else could she do? Nothing can be done.

"It's not like that, minuscule thought, don't belittle yourself. It is Gong Ou who has always been trying to create a facade of peace in front of you. He needs you to let go of your guard and think that there is nothing wrong with the situation before you. " Mu Qianchu said, "It's precisely because of this that you stepped into the trap."

If everyone had told her that the situation had reached the point of death, she would not have stepped in.

"…"

Therefore, this was what Gong Ou had said, to the point where he would still lie when he couldn't.

Use your heart.

It was a painstaking effort.

"minuscule thought, are you crying?" Mu Qianchu heard it, "Are you still sad that he used you as bait?"

"No, really no. Your plans are so good for our final safety. Why should I be sad?" Shi Xiaonian denied repeatedly, his lips trembling violently.

"He really wants to protect you. He has no other choice."

Mu Qianchu sat there with one hand pressed against the side of the bed.

"You spoke so many words for Gong Ou today, I've never thought of it before." Shi Xiaonian said while smiling, she did not know why she wanted to laugh.

Maybe if she smiled, her tears wouldn't fall.
