Chapter 514: Crazy Heart
On the busy road in Kuncheng, Coleville was driving a luxury car, staring intently at the front.
He held the steering wheel steadily with both hands, his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, like a thin layer of frost quietly covering him.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoji and his companions' car disappeared completely as if it had evaporated from the face of the earth. Coleville's heart sank suddenly, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. The anxious emotion instantly overwhelmed him like a surging tide.
Cui Jiani, who was sitting in the back seat, was also flustered by this sudden change. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were wide open, and she looked around like a frightened deer.
His eyes scanned the car window like a searchlight, eagerly watching the cars speeding past, not missing any possible corner, trying to find the silhouette of Mu Xiaoji and his companions' car.
Youyou was even more nervous. She held the handlebar tightly with her right hand. Her palms were full of sweat, and the handlebars were wet.
She looked around at the traffic outside the car window and said in an anxious and trembling voice, "Sister Jiani, how about I give Brother Xiaoji a call?
Coleman is not familiar with the way back, let's not go the wrong way." The voice echoed in the car with a hint of panic.
Cui Jiani took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and said softly: "Youyou, don't be too nervous, I am also half a local in Kuncheng, I am familiar with the route back to the Seaview Scenic Area, this is the right way.
But I haven't seen their car for a long time, so it's necessary to call them." Her voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to keep it steady.
Youyou nodded in affirmation after receiving Cui Jiani's response, and quickly responded, "Well, OK, I'll call right away."
As she spoke, she quickly picked up her phone, slid her fingers across the screen quickly like a panicked ant, found Mu Xiaoji's phone number, and dialed it.
At this time, Mu Xiaoji was sitting on the sofa in the sea view villa, with Jiang Chengyu lying quietly beside him.
The villa was so quiet that one could almost hear each other's heartbeats. His cell phone rang suddenly, like a thunderclap, breaking the slightly dull silence in the house.
Mu Xiaoji glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly. His eyebrows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character. He quickly adjusted his expression and answered the phone, "Hello, Youyou, where are you?"
"Brother Xiaoji, where are you?" Youyou's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, with obvious urgency and concern, like a helpless little bird wailing.
"Youyou, we're home, you guys should come back soon!" Mu Xiaoji tried to sound relaxed and casual, but there was a hint of barely perceptible fatigue hidden in that deliberate relaxation.
"Brother Xiaoji, what's going on with you guys? I suddenly couldn't find you. What happened just now?" Youyou asked with full of confusion and worry, with deep concern in her voice.
Mu Xiaoji's heart tightened, but his face remained expressionless. He chuckled and covered it up, "No, I suddenly felt the urge to go to the bathroom, so I asked Yan Kai to drive faster." The smile seemed forced, and even he himself felt a little unnatural.
"I'm glad you're okay. See you later." Hearing him say that, Youyou felt a little relieved and her tone softened a little.
"Okay, be careful on your way!" Mu Xiaoji said and hung up the phone.
He slowly put down his phone, his movements seemed to have slowed down several times, reached out and gently held Jiang Chengyu's hand, his eyes gently falling on Jiang Chengyu's handsome features, as if time had stopped at this moment.
Jiang Chengyu lay quietly, like a beauty sleeping deep in a dream, motionless. Only the sound of his steady breathing proved that he was still in this world.
Mu Xiaoji seemed to be discussing with everyone, and also seemed to be whispering to Jiang Chengyu: "Little monster, do you know them?
Just now I saw that the leader had calluses on the base of his right hand, which must have been caused by holding a gun for a long time.
They should not be ordinary soldiers, but when did you get to know these people?
Is it the five years we missed?" His voice was low, with a hint of confusion and inquiry.
Jiang Shuo stood beside Jiang Chengyu, folded his hands in front of his chest, and analyzed seriously: "Dad, little daddy has been with me growing up for those three years.
I don’t think it was a problem during that period.” His young face was full of maturity and calmness that did not match his age.
Mu Xiaoji raised his head and looked at Jiang Shuo. His eyes gradually became deep, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss and fell into deep thought.
At the same time, in the Goldsmith Bay Villa, Song Lan sat alone quietly on the balcony of her bedroom. On the small table beside her was a cup of steaming coffee. The curling hot steam was rising like wisps of thoughts, but she had no intention of tasting it.
She stared blankly at the setting sun. The sky was dyed orange-red, as if stained with blood, beautiful yet somewhat lonely.
The sudden ring of the phone broke the silence. Song Lan was startled for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and looked down at the caller ID.
A complicated look flashed in his eyes, which contained anger, unwillingness, and a hint of determination. He quickly picked up the phone and asked, "Blake, what's going on?"
Blake's slightly frustrated voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry, ma'am, the two people next to Mu are very skilled, we failed." There was powerlessness and frustration in his voice.
Song Lan's face suddenly darkened, like the sky before a storm. He bit his lower lip tightly, his tone full of reluctance and anger:
"Blake, I want you to add more people. You must bring them back. My laboratory has been empty for a long time!" The voice was sharp and shrill, like a sharp knife cutting through the silent air.
"Yes, ma'am," Blake responded and hung up the phone.
Song Lan gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, like the remaining snow in winter.
Her face was filled with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Chengyu, Mu Xiaoji, and Lei'er died from the experimental virus.
I want you to have a taste of the heart-wrenching pain, too." The hatred in those words seemed to be able to freeze the air.
After saying that, she suddenly threw the coffee cup in her hand to the ground. The cup broke into pieces instantly, and the brown coffee liquid splashed everywhere.
Just like her broken and crazy heart at the moment, the coffee stains spread on the floor like a hideous painting.
In the cozy and peaceful bedroom of the sea view villa, the dim light of warm yellow gently sprinkles down, like a layer of golden gauze, covering the whole room with a dreamy color;
Reflecting the harmonious picture of the father and his two sons sleeping peacefully on the big white bed, an atmosphere of happiness quietly permeates the air, like the fragrance of flowers in spring, lingering and refreshing.
Outside the window, the waves were surging tirelessly, hitting the rocks on the shore in an orderly manner again and again, making bursts of roars. The sound was like a majestic symphony, and seemed to be whispering secretly, suggesting that this night was destined not to be peaceful.
At this time, under the cover of night, a dozen figures in black tights quietly appeared. They were like a group of ghosts in the dark night, hiding in the darkness.
The moonlight fell on their slender bodies, outlining clean lines as if they were carved.
I saw them skillfully climb over the courtyard wall, their movements swift and silent, like black cheetahs, and quickly sneak into the yard, each step as light as stepping on clouds.
In the master bedroom, Guan Shan and Yan Kai were resting on the sofa. Suddenly, there was a slight movement from the balcony, which was particularly abrupt in the quiet night, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Guanshan Yan Kai instantly became alert, his muscles tensed like a fully drawn bowstring, and his eyes revealed a sharp light that seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness.
He got up quietly and hid behind the sofa swiftly, his eyes fixed on the direction of the balcony, not missing any movement, his gaze like a hunter locking onto his prey.
Almost at the same time, the window handles and door handles were turned very quietly, making a slight "click" sound. Although the sound was small, it was particularly harsh in this silent space, like an alarm bell.
Yan Kai turned around quickly and looked at the door with a sharp gaze. He saw two men in black crouching and walking into the house cautiously. Their footsteps were light, but they could not hide the dangerous aura emanating from them. That aura was like a layer of haze, covering the entire room.
At the same time, two people walked in from the balcony. The four of them looked at each other, and without making any sound, they walked straight towards the big bed in the bedroom, their steps as neat as well-trained soldiers.
Just as they were about to approach the big bed, the lights in the bedroom suddenly came on. The strong light made the four of them panic instantly, with expressions of astonishment on their faces, like a frozen picture.
They stood there in a daze for just a second, and Guan Shan and Yan Kai seized the opportunity.
The two men picked up a steel pipe and pounced on the four people like a tiger descending from a mountain. Their momentum was so fierce that it seemed as if they were going to crush all the forces that stood in their way.
Their movements were swift and fierce. The steel pipe whizzed in his hands like a flying dragon, beating the four men without any chance of fighting back. The screams of ghosts and wolves howling immediately echoed in the room, and the sound was as shrill as the cry of a night owl.
Hearing the noise, the other men in black rushed towards the master bedroom. Some of them jumped over the window like nimble monkeys;
Some of them ran directly up the stairs, their footsteps as rapid as dense drumbeats; others even climbed in from the outer wall, their movements as thrilling as acrobats, and their various postures were dazzling.
Jiang Shuo was awakened from his sleep. He sat up with a start and quickly stood beside the big bed. His eyes revealed a calmness that was inconsistent with his age. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake.
Mu Xiaoji also woke up and sat next to the little monster, calmly observing the chaotic situation in the room. His calmness was like a lighthouse in a storm, steady and firm.
However, two fists are no match for four hands. Although Guan Shan and Yan Kai fought hard, they were ultimately outnumbered.
While fending off the attacks of the men in black, Yan Kai shouted anxiously, "Mr. Mu, take him away from here!" The shout echoed in the room with anxiety and determination.
Jiang Shuo reacted immediately after hearing this and hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over. Mu Xiaoji also stood up quickly, and just as he helped Jiang Chengyu up, a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and a hoarse voice shouted, "Want to run? See where you can run to." The voice was like sandpaper rubbing, full of malice.
