"What's up?"
The two of them couldn't help feeling curious. They had a clear self - awareness and were sure that their thinking logic couldn't match Mu Junze's at all. So they simply couldn't guess what he was thinking.
"It's nothing much. If something happens to me, you need to protect Meng Nianchu well and help her with her life in the future. Can you do that? This is my request. I hope you can agree."
Hearing what Mu Junze said, the two were a bit surprised and quickly said, "Don't talk like that. We'll protect you both."
"Yes, nothing will happen to you. Besides, we're all good friends. You don't need to say this. We'll naturally protect Meng Nianchu well. Just be obedient and follow the plan."
Bailing chimed in.
"First promise me. I said just in case. Do you understand?"
Ju Zisheng and Bailing just couldn't resist Mu Junze, so they reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, okay, we promise. If you really... bah, bah, bah! If something really happens to you, we'll protect Meng Nianchu and take good care of her. Don't worry."
"Okay. With your words, I'm relieved. Let's rest as soon as possible and get ready to set off then."
"Okay. You have to make preparations. There's not much time left for rest. You should still rest a bit."
"It's okay. I'll rest too. As for the money, I'll leave it to the company's assistant to prepare. The car will drive directly to my door then."
"Great! See you this afternoon!"
"Okay. See you this afternoon."
After the three of them finished chatting, they each returned to their places. Having planned for most of the night, they were all extremely tired. As soon as they got back to their places and touched the pillows, they fell asleep until afternoon.
"Okay, it's about time."
After waking up, Mu Junze checked the time. He sorted out all the plan details again, then packed up and prepared to set off.
While waiting for the assistant to drive the car over, he flipped through his phone.
In particular, he checked Meng Nianchu's recent moments on WeChat.
Meng Nianchu's moments were basically all about her daily life with Mu Junze. In every photo, one could see Meng Nianchu looking extremely happy while Mu Junze had a helpless look on his face.
Now, looking at these photos, he felt extremely happy.
Now, he had to fulfill his promise, protect Meng Nianchu well, protect their child, and protect this hard - won happiness.
Beep! Beep!
Several loud car horns interrupted Mu Junze's train of thought. He looked up and saw that the assistant had driven over three trucks full of one billion yuan in cash.
The cash filled three trucks completely. There were three drivers, which was just enough to take Mu Junze, Bailing, and Ju Zisheng.
"Mr. Mu, the cars are here. The money is loaded in the back. One billion yuan in cash, three trucks in total. Do you want to count it?"
"No need. I trust your ability to handle things. Let's set off."
"Okay, Mr. Mu. Please get in the car first."
Mu Junze nodded and got into the first car.
Now they had to drive to Bailing and Ju Zisheng's place to pick them up.
It happened to be an overcast day. The sky was a bit gloomy in the afternoon. With the cool wind blowing and the car shaking, the scenery outside the window looked extremely messy.
Mu Junze had never felt so complicated in his heart.
At this moment, the world seemed to lose its color in his eyes. Only Meng Nianchu's figure remained colorful and was shining, guiding and attracting him.
Soon, Mu Junze met up with Bailing and Ju Zisheng. Bailing and Ju Zisheng got into the two trucks behind respectively and followed Mu Junze to the old factory on the outskirts of the city.
After the two woke up, they made some preparations. Within the scope of reality, they thought about the possible situations they might encounter.
Finally, they came to the conclusion that using guerrilla tactics might be a good way to buy time.
So, Bailing brought the pepper spray she had bought but never used, while Ju Zisheng brought a prop - brass knuckles that he had used in an action movie before.
Although it might not be of much use to them, they thought they could at least buy some time.
The two of them even thought about changing the beneficiaries of their insurance to their parents, whole - heartedly thinking about helping Mu Junze and Meng Nianchu get through this difficult time.
The three of them had different thoughts but the same belief: rescue Meng Nianchu and completely eliminate the remaining evils!
After driving for a while, the cars arrived at the old factory on the outskirts of the city.
Just after driving through the gate, a three - wheeled motorcycle drove out. The person in the back was holding a sign that said, "Follow me!"
So, under the lead of the three - wheeled motorcycle, they drove around and finally entered a large factory building.
This factory building was different from the other workshops. It was multi - leveled, and some of the walls had broken, leaving only broken walls.
The cars drove into the first - floor hall, and then a little minion came to receive them.
"Gentlemen and lady, please get out of the car and follow me inside. As for the cars, the staff will communicate with your assistant."
Hearing this, they got out of the cars and followed him forward.
As soon as Ju Zisheng got out of the car, he recognized this person.
"Shen Long?! What are you doing here?"
The little junior who had once said he liked his plays and was very respectful to him turned out to be one of the enemy. Now that he thought about it, it was very likely that Shen Long had been a spy back then.
"Hey, Movie King. Long time no see!"
Shen Long greeted Ju Zisheng and then ignored him.
"I never thought you were one of Jin Hui's people. I was really blind back then. I thought you were a cute young man! Who would have thought... people's hearts are hard to fathom."
Hearing Ju Zisheng keep nagging, Shen Long rolled his eyes and disdainfully replied, "Mr. Ju Zisheng, we're all just working for our masters and doing our own things. There's no difference in status. You don't need to target me like this, do you?"
Just as Ju Zisheng was about to retort, Shen Long interrupted him again, "By the way, I did lie to you. I haven't watched any of your movies. They're too bad. I couldn't even bear to watch them."
"You!"
Seeing Ju Zisheng getting angry, Shen Long felt extremely satisfied. He finally managed to get back at Ju Zisheng for Brother Hang. The next step was to figure out how to kill him.
"Come on, everyone. Please follow me upstairs."
Mu Junze quickly stopped the angry Ju Zisheng, indicating that they shouldn't be hasty. There would be a chance later.
After they went upstairs, they saw several familiar faces.
The first one was Linda. She was sitting in the middle seat. There was no need to say more about her.
Next was a middle - aged man with a bandaged right arm. As soon as he saw them, his eyes turned blood - red and the veins on his forehead popped out.
Bailing was startled when she saw him. It was Zhang Hang who had blackmailed her and tried to molest her. She never thought he would be alive again so soon.
And Meng Nianchu was tied to a chair, sitting beside a collapsed wall with a one - story - high abyss behind her.
Mu Junze thought to himself, "All these people are here, and Meng Nianchu is in such a dangerous place. It seems that things won't be easy today."
"Are you all here?"
Linda looked at them and started laughing. Slowly, the expression on her face became more and more crazy.
"Let's settle all our old and new scores today!"
