Outside the delivery room, silence fell in an instant!
All eyes were fixed on the furious Mu Xue.
"Wah..." The daughter in Mu Yunxiao's arms, startled, began to cry.
This brought everyone back to their senses.
The old man closed his eyes slightly, looking exhausted, and roared, "Mu Xue, get out! Never show your face to me again."
Mu Xue's gaze snapped to her father.
The old man didn't look at her, instead closing his eyes in pain.
His attitude was clear: he was extremely disappointed in his daughter.
"Fine, Dad. Since you're being so distant, I won't come back to take care of you anymore," Mu Xue threatened. The old man needed her care now, and if she left, only the servants who circled him would remain.
The old man opened his eyes, his gaze clear as he looked at her, "How can you even say that? I've always been the one taking care of you. You wake up when the sun is already high in the sky, go to bed at one or two in the morning, are nowhere to be seen for lunch, spend the afternoon with a face mask, and after dinner, you play cards on your phone. Is this what you call taking care of me? Hurry up and leave."
The old man waved her away with a look of disdain.
Mu Xue's eyes widened with fury, and she turned to leave.
After a few steps, Mu Xue turned back to look at Mu Jiuchen, a sinister smile playing on her lips, "Little Jiu, you'd better protect your child and your little sister, and your Nuannuan. Don't let anything happen to them, or you'll suffer a lifetime of pain."
A storm brewed in Mu Jiuchen's dark eyes. He said furiously, "Mu Xue, this is the last chance I'm giving you. If you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless next time."
His cold voice, like the icy, snowy landscape outside, made Mu Xue tremble.
She stared intently at Mu Jiuchen for a moment, her expression finally settling into a faint, sinister smile.
"Then we shall see," she said.
With a provocative smile, she straightened her back and walked away.
However, Mu Jiuchen's heart grew increasingly uneasy.
If that was the case, then he would not be merciful.
Seeing that Jiang Nuan and Yun Tong had not yet emerged from the delivery room, Mu Jiuchen frowned and said to the doctor, "Go in and check if it's done inside."
The doctor nodded and turned to enter.
"What's wrong, Little Jiu?" Mu Yunxiao asked, looking at his son's serious expression with concern.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him, his brows still tightly furrowed, "Aunt has colluded with outsiders to seize everything from the Mu family. I'm afraid your wife and child are in danger. Although I've replaced everyone here with my own people, it's still hard to guard against those with intent."
"Ah..." Mu Yunxiao was stunned. "She's already that old, can she still do something like this?" Mu Yunxiao couldn't believe his sister would attack his own niece.
Mu Jiuchen looked at him mockingly, "At your age, aren't you still trying hard to have children?"
Mu Yunxiao: "..."
"You brat! How can you compare this?" Mu Yunxiao growled in a low voice. The daughter in his arms seemed to have been startled, and he quickly soothed her gently.
This was the daughter he had longed for.
The old man rubbed his temples, a headache coming on. He had long seen that Mu Xue's intentions were not pure.
"Little Jiu, Grandpa has a request for you," the old man said earnestly.
Mu Jiuchen helped his grandfather sit on a nearby stool before saying, "Grandpa, I know what you're thinking. If Aunt has done anything wrong, I won't let her off."
The old man nodded slightly, "That's right. That's what Grandpa wants to say. Remember, don't indulge her ambition."
Mu Jiuchen understood his grandfather's thoughts. He looked at the old man's aged face, the grandfather who had once dominated the business world, acted decisively, and possessed shrewd and high-level strategies.
Now, with white hair and wise eyes that still gleamed with intelligence.
"Grandpa, you don't need to worry. Aunt's biggest wish is the Mu family's money. As for other heinous acts, even if she wants to do them, she wouldn't dare."
The old man lowered his eyes, seeming to have aged several years in an instant. "Who knows?"
He sighed. No matter what he did, he couldn't straighten out his daughter's thoughts. If she reaped what she sowed, he could do nothing about it.
"Something's wrong, Ninth Master, something's wrong." The pediatrician who had gone inside rushed out.
Mu Jiuchen stood up abruptly and looked at her, roaring, "What happened?"
He had been feeling uneasy earlier, but since it was his father's wife inside, he couldn't barge in directly.
"The two midwives fainted, and the two ladies are missing."
"What?" Mu Jiuchen and Mu Yunxiao said in unison.
"Is there an exit at the back?" Mu Yunxiao asked.
The doctor nodded, "The back is a doctor's private passage, and we are the only medical staff on this floor..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Mu Jiuchen had already rushed into the delivery room and was chasing after him towards the back passage.
Before coming, they had feared unexpected events, and he had arranged for people in advance, yet an accident had still occurred.
He made a phone call as he ran.
Xiao Fan's brow twitched when he received the call. Had something really happened?
"Ninth Master!"
"Immediately send people to surround the hospital and check the surveillance. Nuannuan and Yun Tong are missing."
"Ah..." Xiao Fan was stunned. "How could two living people disappear?"
"What are you babbling about? Hurry up!" Mu Jiuchen shouted angrily. He had felt uneasy when Mu Xue arrived.
While he was talking to his grandfather, Mu Xue had been constantly on her phone.
The baby had already been born then. Later, Mu Xue deliberately picked a fight with them, probably to distract their attention.
Damn it!
Mu Jiuchen checked the surveillance while heading downstairs!
The surveillance had been tampered with, and the segment from the delivery room exit was destroyed.
In just these few minutes, they were still near the hospital.
Mu Jiuchen went to the first-floor surveillance room. Xiao Fan happened to be coming out. "Master, the staff inside were drugged, and the entire hospital's surveillance has been shut down." Xiao Fan was starting to get a headache. "These scoundrels, how could they not even let the pregnant women go?"
Xiao Fan was very worried that the freezing weather might cause problems for the women.
Mu Jiuchen forced himself to calm down. He suddenly remembered Jiang Nuan's tracking device, which he had set up after she fell asleep.
He opened his phone and saw that Jiang Nuan's phone's location was precisely in the alley behind the hospital.
Xiao Fan saw it too and immediately notified security.
"Quick, get to the alley behind the hospital, and be fast!" Before Xiao Fan finished speaking, Mu Jiuchen had already charged out.
Mu Jiuchen's face was dark and terrifying. To have taken the people away so quickly meant they had planned everything in advance.
He rushed into the alley and found that the location had stopped moving.
Mu Jiuchen's gaze narrowed, his eyes flashing with a cold glint.
He walked step by step towards the location, which now appeared in a garbage can.
Mu Jiuchen opened the garbage can and saw Jiang Nuan's phone inside.
His pupils suddenly contracted. He snatched up the phone, a murderous intent flashing in his wicked eyes.
"Mu Xue, I will not let you off," he gritted out the two words through clenched teeth.
Seeing Xiao Fan catching up, he roared, "Go and bring Mu Xue here."
