The first light of dawn

Chapter 378 It Was Not Intentional

"Wu Yuan called you, what did she say to you? If you don't tell the truth, I'll make sure your son never gets out. Don't doubt me, I have the ability to send your whole family to jail." He Mingrun's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

Aunt Wang knew immediately that her deception had been exposed. She had seen Shen Bing's eldest son once when she was back at the Wu family and had secretly met him.

Anything associated with these wealthy people could make money.

"Okay, I'll tell you. Give me money and I'll tell you?" Aunt Wang slowly sat up as well.

"Heh... You dream of getting money."

He Mingrun took out his phone, turned it on, and said, "You don't have to speak, but I can assure you your son won't be getting out of here for the rest of his life." For someone like her, her son was her life.

"You..."

"Speak," He Mingrun had lost his patience.

Aunt Wang no longer dared to ask for money; her son was far more important.

"Wu Yuan only told me that you had arrived in town and asked me to check if you had reached Shen Bing's place. If you had, I was to prevent Shen Bing from meeting with you. She only told me this."

"Your mother knows the rest."

He Mingrun looked at her and said, "Stay put here. I'll have someone come to handle your affairs. If you dare to report my whereabouts to Wu Yuan, I will make your son and daughter suffer a fate worse than death. You've been to the Wu family; I can be even more ruthless than they are."

Aunt Wang shivered, knowing this was true.

He Mingrun saw Wu Yuan's number flashing on his phone and immediately hung up.

He dialed another number.

"President."

"Check the Modu police station for a man named Wang Hao, and also a university student named Wang Liqiao. Call me once you find these two."

"Yes, President."

On his way, He Mingrun had learned about Aunt Wang's family situation from Shen Bing.

He looked at Aunt Wang and said, "If you dare to say a word about what happened today, I'll send your daughter to a place of ill repute, and your son will never get out."

"Oh! Why is my life so hard!" Aunt Wang cried out lamentably.

"Shut up!" He Mingrun roared, and she immediately fell silent, looking at him with a pleading expression. "Young Master, I beg you. I will never contact Wu Yuan again, and I won't say a word about your visit. Please, don't do anything to my son and daughter."

She only had her son and daughter; she couldn't let them get into trouble.

"As long as you don't tell Wu Yuan and don't ruin my plans, I naturally won't do anything to them!" He Mingrun exuded a sharp aura.

Aunt Wang was already trembling with fear.

"Alright, alright! I'll do as you say, Young Master."

He Mingrun said, "Mom, Yuan Yuan, let's go."

He Mingrun, Shen Bing, and Meng Yuan drove directly to the airport.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mu Jiuchen learned the situation and knew his maternal grandmother had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, and the doctors dared not operate.

Mu Jiuchen cast a pleading look at Jiang Nuan. "Nuan Nuan, my grandmother urgently needs surgery. She has intracranial bleeding, and the doctors are hesitant to operate."

Jiang Nuan was weak and needed rest to recover. However, when Mu Jiuchen looked at her with his deep, caring eyes, her heart melted uncontrollably.

She nodded. "I'll go back with you. Book the tickets first."

Mu Jiuchen nodded gratefully and asked Xiao Fan to charter a plane.

Jiang Nuan glanced at the time. Nanzhou was arriving soon.

Just as she had this thought, she saw Nanzhou entering with his suitcase.

"Nuan Nuan." Nanzhou looked up and saw Mu Jiuchen. A dark glint flashed in his eyes, and his heart ached instantly. So they were together.

Jiang Nuan slowly stood up and looked at him, feeling guilty. "Nanzhou, I'm sorry. You stay here first, I have to rush back to Jinshi City."

Nanzhou: "..." He had just arrived!

He looked at her pale face and frowned. "What can you do in this state? Can't you just rest properly?"

Jiang Nuan's eyes flickered, and a brilliant smile spilled out, weak yet stunningly beautiful. "There's a very important surgery."

Nanzhou was annoyed and looked down, not meeting Jiang Nuan's gaze.

Jiang Nuan felt apologetic. She gave her grandfather some instructions, arranged for Nanzhou's accommodation, and then left for the airport with Mu Jiuchen.

Mu Jiuchen chartered a plane to allow Jiang Nuan to rest well during the flight.

Jiang Nuan took her medicine and fell into a deep sleep as soon as she got on the plane. Mu Jiuchen stayed by her side.

Three hours later, Jiang Nuan woke up directly in the hospital. This was a hospital owned by Mu Jiuchen. After the old madam's accident, Mu Jiuchen had directly arranged for her to be admitted here.

As the car stopped, Jiang Nuan slowly woke up.

Seeing that they had arrived at the hospital, she stretched her arms, then her movements gradually slowed.

She smelled a familiar scent, a warm embrace.

She suddenly looked up and met Mu Jiuchen's amused, half-smiling eyes.

Jiang Nuan was startled. Why was she in Mu Jiuchen's arms!

Her small face flushed, and she lightly hit him. "What did you do while I was fast asleep?" She had slept so soundly that she knew nothing.

Mu Jiuchen looked at her with amusement. "I did many things I wanted to do."

Jiang Nuan: "Hmph!" She was a little angry. How could he hold her without her permission?

"Why are you angry? Hmm~" The end of his voice rose, his smile laced with a hint of mischief, incredibly seductive.

Jiang Nuan slowly sat up, feeling much more energetic after her deep sleep.

She tried to sit up straight, but her legs were numb. Off-balance, she instinctively used her hands to support herself, and in her haste, her hand landed on Mu Jiuchen's lower body.

Mu Jiuchen was not only embarrassed but also filled with desire.

Jiang Nuan's eyes widened abruptly. She retracted her hand as if shocked, her heart pounding incessantly.

The atmosphere suddenly turned intimate.

"I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Jiang Nuan's face was as red as a beet, and she didn't know where to look.

Her shy demeanor only made Mu Jiuchen more captivated.

Mu Jiuchen pulled her into an embrace, clasping his hands around her waist. "Nuan Nuan, I know you did it on purpose. You've saved me twice, and I want to repay you with myself."

Jiang Nuan: "..." That's really not necessary!

She truly didn't do it intentionally!

"Let's... let's get out of the car." Jiang Nuan had never felt so embarrassed. Where was she supposed to put her hand!

The atmosphere in the car was very intimate. Mu Jiuchen didn't want to get out, but his grandmother was also very important. After they exited the car, Mu Jiuchen directly took Jiang Nuan to the operating room.

The doctors were already waiting in the operating room.

After reviewing the patient's medical record and CT scan, Jiang Nuan decided to proceed with the surgery immediately.

She put on a sterile gown, and Mu Jiuchen placed a kiss on her forehead.

Jiang Nuan looked up at his deep, affectionate eyes. He gently caressed her cheek. "Nuan Nuan, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for you outside."

Jiang Nuan nodded with a blush, whispering, "Okay!"

Mu Jiuchen chuckled softly, his smile bright and beautiful. He muttered to himself, "This Nuan Nuan is truly obedient!"

Beneath his indifferent exterior lay a warm heart.

Mu Jiuchen went to the waiting area outside the operating room and saw Wu Yuan and He Wenxun there. His gaze turned icy as he looked at Wu Yuan.

When Wu Yuan met his piercingly cold eyes, she was so frightened that she dared not look at Mu Jiuchen.
