He tapped on the call log and saw that Jiang Nuan had called him two hours earlier.
He glanced at the call log again and saw that he had answered Jiang Nuan's call a few minutes ago.
Therefore, someone had touched his phone.
He dialed Jiang Nuan's number, but no one answered.
After a while, he dialed again.
Jiang Nuan looked at her phone ringing for the second time. Remembering the conversation between Chu Yunying and Ye Anran she had overheard that night, she decided to trust Mu Jiuchen for once.
"Hello!"
"Wife, are you home? My phone died, I've been charging it," Mu Jiuchen's voice was deep.
"Oh!" Jiang Nuan responded with an "oh!" "Where are you?"
"At Baihui Hotel. I had a meeting with a business partner today, but the partner accidentally spilled coffee on me. I just got out of the shower and will be back soon."
Jiang Nuan said angrily, "Mu Jiuchen, did you sleep with a woman, or did coffee really get spilled on you? You couldn't be found when Yunyun and I were in mortal danger. Now that I finally found you, you're fooling around with a woman in a hotel. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Jiang Nuan was a bit angry earlier, but she hadn't felt so wronged.
Now, hearing his voice, the grievance in her heart was magnified infinitely.
"Jiang Nuan." Mu Jiuchen's angry voice was heavy.
Jiang Nuan began to cry, feeling wronged.
"Why are you yelling at me? Would I accuse you for no reason? Mu Jiuchen, Yunyun and I almost died today. I called you, and you were only a short distance away, but where were you when I needed you the most? Were you having intense physical activity with another woman in a hotel?"
"Jiang Nuan, you don't believe me?" Mu Jiuchen's voice was laced with pain.
Jiang Nuan said angrily, "I want to believe you, but Chu Yunying said that after you two had intense physical activity, you went to shower. I want to believe you, Mu Jiuchen..."
Jiang Nuan couldn't continue and quickly hung up the phone.
She felt miserable, even speaking felt tiring.
Perhaps it was the feeling of having found a pillar of support, only for that support to be absent when needed, which gave rise to an inexplicable emotion.
She slowly lay down, looking at her daughter who was still unconscious, and her anger instantly ignited.
Mu Jiuchen stared at the hung-up phone, stunned.
Did Chu Yunying answer his phone and say things she shouldn't have?
He immediately opened his location tracker and checked Jiang Nuan's phone's location: Heji Hospital.
He picked up his car keys and left the hotel.
He drove to the hospital.
Coincidentally, he met Lu Jincheng downstairs.
"Second Brother." Mu Jiuchen ran over quickly.
Lu Jincheng, holding a food box, saw Mu Jiuchen rushing over and complained a little, "Little Jiu, why are you only arriving now? Do you know how scared I was waiting outside the operating room today?"
"Nuan Nuan's arm was injured, and she was shot. Yunyun still hasn't woken up. The wound on her arm is deep to the bone," Lu Jincheng said, his heart trembling.
Mu Jiuchen listened, a suffocating feeling washing over him.
Who did this?!
Mu Jiuchen took the food box from him, his expressionless, "Second Brother, you should go back and rest. I'll stay here with Nuan Nuan and Yunyun."
Lu Jincheng was a bit worried, "What if you can't handle it alone?"
"I will," Mu Jiuchen suppressed the anger and pain in his heart, his tone deep.
"Oh! VIP room 906, you go up. I'll tell Mom and Dad that you guys are busy and won't be coming home for the next few days."
"Alright, thank you, Second Brother!" Mu Jiuchen's expression remained unchanged, the suppressed emotions only showing as a fiery rage in his dark eyes.
"Oh! It's over, I'm afraid we can't hide it anymore. Someone took a video and posted it online." Lu Jincheng clicked on the video and showed it to Mu Jiuchen.
The video showed Jiang Nuan, covered in blood, running down the road holding Yunyun. It had become a trending topic online.
Her face was covered in blood; only those who knew her could recognize her.
Mu Jiuchen's pupils trembled. He was only a few hundred meters away, yet he knew nothing.
No wonder Nuan Nuan was so angry!
"Which bastard did this?" Lu Jincheng gritted his teeth in anger.
Mu Jiuchen strode into the hospital.
Lu Jincheng watched his cold, stern back, feeling a chill run down his spine. How furious was he?
Fine, he was relieved that Little Jiu was taking care of Nuan Nuan.
He should go comfort Mom and Dad first.
Jiang Nuan didn't notice the news online. She was hungry and suddenly received a call from her mother, only then realizing that the video of her covered in blood on the road today had been uploaded to the internet.
She soothed her mother and told her not to come over, saying she wanted to rest, which finally put her mother at ease.
However, her second brother had been gone for a long time and hadn't returned.
She was starting to wonder if her second brother had gotten lost.
Jiang Nuan disliked being hungry; hunger made her panic.
She picked up her phone, about to call her second brother, when she saw Mu Jiuchen pushing the door open with a food box.
Seeing him, Jiang Nuan frowned slightly. He had arrived quite quickly.
Mu Jiuchen strode in, placed the food box on the table, and looking at Jiang Nuan's pale face and his sleeping daughter, the anger in his heart burned to its peak.
He sat by the bed and pulled Jiang Nuan, who was avoiding his gaze, into his arms.
"I'm sorry!" He apologized sincerely, "I wasn't by your side when you needed me most."
Jiang Nuan didn't have the strength to push him away. Smelling the aroma from the food box, she said in a cold voice, "Let go of me, I'm hungry."
Mu Jiuchen slowly released her and opened all the food boxes on the table.
Then, he raised the small table and placed the four dishes and one soup on it.
Seeing the rich spread of food, Jiang Nuan realized why her second brother had been gone for so long; he had gone to a five-star hotel to buy it.
Jiang Nuan lowered her head and drank the chicken soup. After a mouthful of chicken soup, her panicked heart felt much more settled.
Her left hand was injured, so eating didn't affect it.
She ate a chicken leg and finally felt much more satisfied.
Mu Jiuchen remained silent, his gaze fixed on her as she ate.
He had seen such bloody scenes before.
Seeing her eat with such appetite made him feel like he wasn't dreaming, that she was alive and well in front of him.
After eating half of it, Jiang Nuan couldn't eat anymore under Mu Jiuchen's gaze.
She put down her chopsticks, her gaze a little cold, "Why are you looking at me?"
Mu Jiuchen continued to look at her without speaking.
"Leave." Jiang Nuan was still feeling wronged.
She had to admit that Chu Yunying's words had angered her.
She found the hypocritical "sister" so disgusting.
Mu Jiuchen's stern face softened slightly, "Are you full?" Da Feng Novel Network
Jiang Nuan said indignantly, "No, you're looking at me, and I can't eat."
Mu Jiuchen pursed his lips, his eyes filled with heartache, "I won't look at you, you eat a bit more."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan lowered her head and continued eating!
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He turned his head and looked at his daughter lying on the hospital bed, still receiving a blood transfusion.
His fists gradually clenched. Who had injured them, mother and daughter?
Didn't Yunyun get picked up by Li Yanhang?
How did she end up on Fenxi Road?
A few minutes later, Jiang Nuan finished eating.
She casually tidied up the food containers.
Seeing this, Mu Jiuchen picked up the food containers and threw them into the trash can.
He turned and asked, "When will Yunyun wake up?"
