Cheng Che said with a hint of fear, “As expected of Grandma. Fortunately, she found a way to help us. Wisdom really does come with age…” After a moment, he looked at Mu Chen, horrified, as he asked, “Brother, this means Grandma knows as well, right?”
Mu Chen neither denied nor confirmed it. “I didn’t explicitly discuss this issue with Grandma, but Grandma had tested that woman a few times in front of me. She always…”
“Always what?” Cheng Che asked.
Mu Chen looked out of the window. “She made the baby cry this morning so I got angry at her. Grandma then said that I promised Song Ning that I would never bring my emotions from work home and vice versa and that I would never get angry at Song Ning…”
Cheng Che’s eyes widened. “Isn’t this like the first sentence in our company’s employee code?”
Mu Chen nodded. “However, Song Ning agreed that I promised her this…”
Cheng Che was rendered speechless by these words.
Mu Chen continued to say, “Grandma also said that the baby isn’t allowed to leave her side since we promised to give her a grandchild… However, that woman didn’t object to that at all…”
“Earlier, when that woman made a fuss about me returning to the bedroom, Grandma struck again. All those actions aren’t consistent with Song Ning’s personality. It seems like Grandma and I already have a tacit understanding. Cheng Che, the most important thing now is for you to look for Song Ning. Grandma and I can’t leave since we have to stay here to distract that woman and make sure she doesn’t get suspicious. That woman isn’t too smart so it’s easy for Grandma to deal with her. What we don’t know now is who’s pulling the strings behind the scenes…”
Cheng Che nodded solemnly. “I understand, Brother. Don’t worry, I’ll find sister-in-law as soon as possible.”
Mu Chen looked at Cheng Che and said, “Remember not to leave any traces behind.
We’re in the open, and those people are still hidden. Since we don’t know who the enemy is, we have to be extra careful.”
Cheng Che nodded. “Don’t worry, Brother.”
…
The night was rather warm tonight.
Mu Chen sat in the glass room on the top floor, looking at the sky full of stars.
