Mu Yichen was scared. Unit One had been transferred, and their reach did not extend there. They couldn't save him.
He knew he was truly finished this time.
He regretted not listening to his father, that he shouldn't have come here.
His father had gone to great lengths to get him out, not for him to be captured.
"Hmph! Don't worry, someone will rescue me," Mu Yichen said, his voice pale and defiant.
Knowing he couldn't escape, he took advantage of Mu Jiuchen's momentary distraction. He struggled violently against the hands restraining him and dashed for the exit.
However, before he could even take a step, Unit One's agile figure blocked his path.
"Trying to run?" Unit One looked down at him, a hint of sarcasm in his smile. Despite his thin frame, his explosive power was formidable.
Unit One delivered a powerful kick to Mu Yichen's abdomen.
"Bang..." He was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Ah..." A deafening cry of agony echoed.
A shocking trail of blood stained the ground.
The moment Mu Yichen opened his eyes, he saw Mu Jiuchen, holding his daughter, gazing down at him with a cold, arrogant, and bone-chilling gaze.
Mu Yichen closed his eyes in despair.
Pleading cries filled the air.
Yunyun had never witnessed such a scene before. These people were in such a terrible state.
Some had broken hands, others broken legs, unable to rise and only able to wail.
She tightly clutched her father's neck, feeling a surge of anger.
During her morning run, as she ascended a slope, a faint fragrance wafted through the air. By the time she registered it, her body felt weak and limp.
Sensing a vehicle approaching from behind, her small body was scooped up and thrown into a car.
Upon seeing the uncle inside, she understood everything. They had been kidnapped again.
Then, she and the uncle were brought here and separated into two rooms.
Fortunately, she still had the antidote her mother had given her.
Otherwise, she would have been too weak to escape.
Jiang Nuan looked at Unit One, finally having the chance to ask, "How did you know where this place was?"
Unit One smiled at her, "I was unwilling to let it go and kept following Mu Yichen. Those he sent to the Dark Emperor were mostly condemned criminals, yet he managed to escape overnight. How could I accept that?"
"Fortunately, this man hasn't learned his lesson. After coming out, he still hasn't forgotten his wicked deeds. Now that I've been transferred and entered this prison, he'll never have another chance to get out."
Unit One smiled tenderly at her, "Nuannuan, with my current status, we no longer have to meet in secret. We can meet openly, and go to places we like to eat and play."
Jiang Nuan understood. This was the bright future he yearned for.
No longer having to hide behind any organization to do their bidding.
"Congratulations!" Jiang Nuan said with a smile, a brilliant light flickering in her eyes.
And she, too, had found the life she desired. No more fighting and killing. Raising a family was also a rather good choice.
This might be the best ending.
"Thank you, Nuannuan. Leave the rest to me. As long as his father is caught, everything will come to a conclusion. Then, it will be your own affairs."
Unit One smiled and waved, and the hidden armed police suddenly appeared, entering in an orderly fashion and taking everyone away.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen, along with Yunyun and Li Yanheng, returned home.
A crisis was thus resolved.
Meanwhile, the Lu family was still waiting for Yunyun to return for dinner, completely unaware that the child had been in trouble.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen did not mention what had happened that day upon their return, to avoid worrying everyone.
After lunch, the family sat in the living room chatting.
Jin Yan couldn't help but say, "Madam Ye has been quite active lately. I heard Ye Anran has become the General Manager of Ye Corporation and is holding a celebration banquet, inviting our family. They sent the invitation this morning."
Lu Sicheng looked at her and said, "Just consider it a formality. Take Nuannuan along to have some fun." Lu Sicheng also felt there wasn't much to do there.
Chatting in small groups, discussing which style was the most fashionable, which man was more capable, which wife was better at dressing up; these were just the same old topics, truly uninteresting.
Jin Yan was reluctant to go. Thinking of her daughter, she turned to Jiang Nuan, "Nuannuan, do you want to go?"
Jiang Nuan slightly shook her head, "Mom, I don't really want to go either."
"Then we won't go. Today, we'll help you change your name," Jin Yan suddenly said.
"Your father was being foolish. That name isn't pleasant. I've chosen another one for you: Lu Qingnuan." Jin Yan felt a girl should have a beautiful name.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She had long forgotten the previous name.
Lu Sicheng's expression turned somewhat displeased. Changing just one character, and it even clashed with Yunyun's name. Looking at his confused mind, "Alas! I'm getting old."
Lu Sicheng sighed.
Lu Jincheng, who had just come downstairs: "..."
It seemed he had come down at the wrong time.
Lu Sicheng's sharp eyes fell on his eldest son, filled with anger, "Lu Jincheng, didn't you go to Jinshi to date? Why are you back alone? Where is your future wife?"
Lu Jincheng: "..."
Fine, he might as well go back to sleep.
Jiang Nuan watched her elder brother, standing awkwardly on the stairs, with amusement.
She wondered how his relationship with Yu Han was progressing.
However, judging by his demeanor, it seemed to be going well.
Lu Jincheng thought for a moment. Forget it. If he went back to sleep, his father would nag him all day.
With both younger brothers away, he was the only one who could be the sacrificial lamb.
"I'm asking about your future daughter-in-law?" Lu Sicheng said, glaring at his leisurely eldest son, clearly agitated.
He was over thirty, while other people's children were already playing in the soy sauce, and his wife was still being nurtured by someone else's family.
How could he, as a father, not be anxious?
"Dad, aren't I in the process of dating her? Don't worry, I'll definitely get married by the end of this year," Lu Jincheng couldn't help but say.
Lu Sicheng was taken aback, "It's only the beginning of the year, and there are still several months until the end of the year. When will I get to hold my grandson?"
Lu Jincheng: "Dad, I've already won her over, and we're just waiting to get married. As for holding grandchildren, don't think about it yet. First, think about how to get a daughter-in-law."
Lu Jincheng sat next to Jiang Nuan and asked with a smile, "Nuannuan, could you move your wellness center to Modu? The business would surely be better in Modu." He actually wanted Hanhan to come over; long-distance relationships were painful!
Jiang Nuan smiled and shook her head, "It's probably not possible."
Lu Jincheng was puzzled, "Why?"
"The chefs are all from that area and probably wouldn't want to come here. Also, Yu Han worked at the wellness center before because she didn't have a job. Her major is design, and she will leave when the time is right."
"Oh!" Lu Jincheng was slightly confused, "But when I came back yesterday and asked her, she said she didn't want to leave and had grown fond of the people at the wellness center. She felt happy working there."
Jiang Nuan remained silent. She couldn't help with matters of the heart.
It would have to be up to him.
"Big Brother, keep going! Hanhan is a good girl," Jiang Nuan encouraged her brother with a smile.
"Mmm!" Lu Jincheng said confidently, looking at Mu Jiuchen opposite him, "Brother-in-law, how did you win my sister over?"
