Chapter 602 She Was The Culprit

Ziyue kissed him and ran like a bat out of hell.

Muchen was stunned by the sudden show of affection. He stared at her with his mouth agape. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

It took Chuan calling his name for him to regain his senses.

"Sir."

Muchen turned towards him. He gave him a sweeping glance and said cooly, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

He promised Ziyue to spend time with her.

Chuan had been Muchen's assistant for a long time. While he couldn't claim that he understood Muchen completely, he was nothing if not sure that Muchen's world revolved around Ziyue.

"Mrs. Qin said to come to find her once you're done." Chuan bowed respectfully.

Muchen couldn't see it, but Chuan's eyes gleamed.

After a few seconds had passed, he glanced up at Muchen.

"Follow me." Said Muchen.

…

In the office, Chuan gave him a brief report on the daily business of the company.

After that, there was a long pause. He clutched at the paper bag in his hands. He looked conflicted, as if he wasn't sure if he should say it.

"Anything else?" Muchen asked impatiently.

He wanted to quickly finish what he had to do and go to Ziyue. Work had become nothing more than a chore to him.

If Chuan knew what he was thinking, he would be scared to death.

"This is the latest news on Lu Shichu. Please have a look…" Chuan handed him the paper bag. He waited for Muchen to make a decision.

The name 'Lu Shichu' was extremely triggering for Muchen. His expression instantly became cold.

The air in the room became heavy. Chuan could cut the tension with a knife.

Chuan's hand stiffened around the bag.

After a long bout of silence, Muchen barked coldly.

"Do you really need to tell me this?"

Muchen paused before adding. "The next time you mention him, you had better bring his dead body with you." His voice descended into a growl.

As if to drill in the Chuan how serious he was about taking Lu Shichu's life, he added, "Do you understand me? I want him dead!"

Chuan trembled. He calmed himself down before replying, "Yes, sir! Understood, sir!"

Muchen waved to dismiss him.

Chuan darted out immediately.

He wiped his forehead once he was out of the office. His hands were covered in cold sweat.

If he were to die, it wouldn't be because of work-induced stress. It would be because Muchen had scared him to death.

After so many years working under Muchen, he was used to Muchen's temper. But lately… It seemed as if Muchen's temper had gone up a notch.

His temper might have worsened.

But anyone could also tell that Muchen had also become even more ruthless than before.

Chuan loosened his tie and headed downstairs.

Someone called his name just as he reached the entrance.

"Chuan!"

He turned to see Ziyue standing by some bushes and trees.

She hid behind the tree suspiciously.

Following suit, he looked around before approaching her.

Before he could say anything, Ziyue asked him, "Was Muchen giving you trouble? His temper has been worse than usual. I had a big fight with him last night. I hope you won't hold it against him."

She smiled widely at him.

Ziyue was a beautiful woman. Her gentle, empathetic smile made her seem so approachable and warm.

No man could resist a woman like her.

Even though Chuan had no other feelings for her, he couldn't deny her blinding beauty. Men were more visual after all. It took him a while to regain his thoughts, "It's nothing. He's always been like that. I know better than anyone."

Chuan did not need to pry to know something was going on between Muchen and Ziyue. The three of them had lived together after all.

It was apparent that they were having issues. Lu Shichu was just fuel on fire, making their relationship even tenser.

It wasn't his place to ask for details.

One thing he knew for sure was Muchen was acting out of the ordinary.

If it weren't so, Ziyue would not have approached him in this manner. It was out of character for her.

Mr. Qin's temper had been so bad that people in the company have been complaining about it.

While his temper had always been bad, he never used to get angry at them unless they did something wrong. He never used to put his emotions on a show before.

Now, it had gone up a notch. He heard some of the employees discussing among themselves, wondering if Muchen had fallen ill…

He didn't have the time to reassure them and so had feigned ignorance.

Ziyue felt relieved. "You're right. I'm just overthinking things."

Chuan and Muchen had gone through so much together. Their bond wasn't easily broken. She was worrying over nothing.

Chuan deliberated before asking, "Mr. Qin… Is he okay?"

Ziyue decided that there was no need to hide the truth from Chuan. He was one of Muchen's closest aides.

"It's a side effect to the antidote for K1LU73. There was a chance it'll affect the nervous system and their temperament… I'm not sure I understand it myself. Mo Xiyi is looking into it. He ran a few tests on Muchen yesterday. I'll check with him tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll have a way to get Muchen better." She told him the truth.

Chuan's jaw dropped. "Side effect to the antidote for K1LU73? Mo Xiyi didn't say anything about side effects!"

"He said that he wasn't sure about the side effects." Ziyue smiled wanly. "This is all my fault."

It was her fault. She was the culprit. Muchen was living his best life. But he suffered so much because of her. His current situation was all her fault.

He could still go about normally, even in his current situation. But at the bottom of it… He could no longer call himself a normal person.

A normal person wouldn't be filled with rage every day. His temper shouldn't be quite so hair-triggering.

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be suffering like this. He wouldn't have become like this.

She felt so much guilt towards Muchen. But there was no one she could talk to, nor did she want to tell anyone.

"Don't be like this, Mrs. Qin. I'm sure he doesn't feel that way. Nan Ke and I don't think so too." Chuan

furrowed his brows and sighed.

"Thank you. You should go. I'll be out in a bit. Muchen is probably looking for me." He would probably get angry again if he couldn't find her.
