At that moment, she finally understood something. It was not a coincidence that Muchen steered everyone away, including Yuchuan, her, and Zixi. It was likely that he had a plan in mind.
"I already said you don't have to worry about anything else." He caught her hand and pinched it soothingly.
However, Ziyue suddenly realized something and pulled his hand anxiously. "You deliberately hosted a huge birthday party for Zixi to attract Gricy's attention, didn't you? You want to lure them out."
He arched his eyebrows upon hearing that without giving any confirmation.
Instead, he stared at her for a few more seconds before saying, "I said – you don't need to worry about anything. Just go in."
With that, he released her hand and left.
Ziyue stood at the door, deep in her thoughts. I don't get him more and more each day.
As Muchen made his way to the hall, he met an expected guest –Shichu, who looked as warm as ever.
"As the party's host, you steered away your wife and your son. How does that make any sense?"
Muchen merely stared back at him impassively. "It's none of your business."
"Mr. Qin, don't be so defensive. The only person I care about is Ziyue." His smile widened as he looked back at Muchen fixedly.
They were around the same height; Shichu was only a few centimeters shorter than Muchen. They were both very tall, so not much difference was observed in their height.
Nonetheless, the weird thing was –Muchen was a businessman who had connections with both the police and the mafia, while Shichu was just a doctor. Yet, when they faced each other, they were like equals.
Muchen snorted coldly. "So what? No matter how much you care about her, she will always be my wife and my son's mother, while she will never have any other relationship with you."
Finally, Shichu found it difficult to maintain his warm smile.
"Is that so?" He let out a snort of laughter.
Muchen narrowed his eyes, having no intention of continuing the conversation.
To him, Shichu was just an insignificant character. Nevertheless, the thought of him always having his eye on Ziyue made Muchen unhappy.
But… he won't be around for long now.
Just when he was about to leave, Shichu suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, you don't look good, seeing that you just recovered. When one looks like that, it's understandable that one gets depressed. Do you find it difficult to control your emotions lately?"
He sounded as though he was diagnosing a patient's sickness.
However, Muchen suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look at him with murderous intent.
Startled by his look, Shichu was stunned briefly. Then, he smiled and said slowly, "Bingo. But your situation seems worse than I expected. Do you… plan to kill me?"
Though he asked in a soft voice, Muchen heard everything.
"Do you think I don't dare to do that?" Muchen's face darkened threateningly as the killing intent thickened in his eyes.
Shichu took a step back involuntarily, but he quickly calmed down. "Of course, I don't. Haven't you killed enough people already?"
Muchen remained silent. It was true that he had killed some people, but they truly deserved to die.
It was just that he found it even more difficult to control his emotions lately.
He knew what he was doing and understood that those people didn't deserve to die, but he simply could not control himself.
He had been great at self-restraint, but ever since he took the antidote for the K1LU73 virus, he realized that it was difficult for him to control his emotions.
Sometimes, he would go berserk and would not listen to other people's opinions.
Though he knew he shouldn't do that, he was unable to control himself, and the situation sometimes oscillated between good and bad.
"What is wrong with the medicine?" he demanded loudly, taking a step forward and grabbing Shichu's collar.
Shichu did not struggle at all, but he smiled happily. "What medicine? I don't know about that. If you don't have any evidence, don't make accusations."
A harsh look flitted across Muchen's eyes. "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!"
"Of course, you can do that. You have the ability to. However, based on my status, do you think people will let it slide if I die here? If you kill me, you will also drag Ziyue into it. I suggest that you not do such an idiotic thing."
Shichu was so calm it was terrifying.
Upon the mention of Ziyue, Muchen loosened his grip.
Shichu took advantage of the opportunity and escaped from his grip. After straightening his shirt, he said, "Now that you aren't completely hated by Ziyue, you better enjoy your final moments with her. She is such a kind person – do you think she will love a brutal man like you?"
Muchen couldn't help himself anymore and gave Shichu a hard kick, sending him to the ground.
"Ehem…" Shichu fell to the ground. Clutching his chest, he coughed violently.
Muchen walked over and stepped on his chest. "You don't have the right to talk to me about her. You are a pitiful fellow who is jealous of me because you couldn't get her. Do you think you are all high and mighty now?"
Shichu coughed out some blood. After hearing his words, his already pale face got even paler.
After a moment of silence, he said arduously, "I didn't expect that the side effects of the antidote of the K1LU73 virus to vary from person to person. When I tested it out on other people, they weren't as brutal as you."
With that, he laughed out loud, as though it didn't hurt anymore.
Muchen narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It's you!"
Shichu was about to say something, but he suddenly looked behind Muchen confusedly. "What?"
"What are you guys doing?" Ziyue's voice rang from behind them, making Muchen stiffen.
He was still stepping on Shichu's chest. Before he could turn around, Ziyue was already running toward them. Her footsteps got increasingly louder until she appeared in front of him.
Then, she froze when she saw that the corner of Shichu's mouth was bleeding. When she returned to her senses, and shoved Muchen. "What are you doing? Why are you beating him up?"
"Eh-hem."
Shichu coughed a few times. Ziyue quickly helped him up and asked, "Shichu, are you alright?"
