Mu Anan’s tone was too aggrieved.

Zong Zhengyu, who had been woken up by the ringing of his phone in the middle of the night, got up from his bed in one hand. After listening to Mu Anan, he immediately lifted the blanket and awoke.

He walked to the window and said in a low voice, “Girl, don’t be afraid. It’s just a dream. You’re listening to me now. This is real.”

“1 dreamed that you didn’t want me anymore.” Mu Anan sniffled. “You left without looking back after you dropped me off at the airport. No matter how much I chased after you and shouted, you didn’t want me anymore. You didn’t want me anymore!”

Mu Anan’s emotions had collapsed.

That dream was too scary.

It was too terrifying.

She had tried so hard to chase after that man.

But that man was too heartless.

The moment her mother and grandfather died, her first world was gone.

It was this man who pieced a new world for her. If the man was gone, she would not be able to bear it.

“Brother Yu, how can you be so bad? Why didn’t you turn back at all? I chased after you with all my might and called you, but you didn’t turn back at all!”

“Girl.”

“Why? Why didn’t you turn around?”

“Girl!”

Zong Zhengyu raised his voice and said in a serious tone, “Listen, that was not me. It was just a dream.”

Mu Anan sniffed and did not say anything.

Seventh Master said, “I won’t leave you behind.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I won’t.”

“No matter what I did wrong?”

“I won’t.” Zong Zhengyu said,” You just have to remember that you are talking to me now. 1 am always here, so don’t be afraid. Lie down now and close your eyes.”

Under Zong Zhengyu’s soft and gentle voice, Mu Anan obediently did as he was told and lay back on the bed.

“Pull up the blanket and close your eyes.”

Mu Anan did as she was told.

The moment she closed her eyes, she heard Zong Zhengyu’s low humming from the phone.

Mu Anan did not know what song he was humming.

However, it sounded very familiar.

Gradually, the fear brought by the nightmare was appeased bit by bit.

The sleepiness invaded again.

This time, Zong Zhengyu did not turn around and leave in her dream.

There was only a seat in the back garden of the Yuyuan Estate. The flowers were blooming brightly. She ran among the flowers while he stood behind her and smiled.

Mu Anan’s breathing gradually stabilized. The phone that was originally pressed to her ear fell to the bed as she let go.

Zong Zhengyu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his phone. He listened to the girl’s breathing through the receiver. It was getting more and more even and steady. It was also getting lighter and lighter. He stopped humming but did not hang up the phone.

Instead, he turned on the speaker and turned the volume to the maximum.

He wanted to make sure that the girl could reach him when she woke up in the middle of the night.

Putting his phone on the table, Seventh Master turned around and went to the wine cabinet to open a bottle of whiskey.

When the spicy wine entered his throat, he felt a little refreshed.

At the same time, Zong Zhengyu’s thoughts were filled with Mu Anan’s aggrieved voice.

This was not the first time this had happened.

“No matter what I do wrong, you will never abandon me.”

This was the second time the Seventh Master had heard such words.

Mu Anan had no sense of security. He had always known that and had been giving it to her.

However, a sense of security was related to one’s personality, environment, and emotions.

Zong Zhengyu tapped his index finger on the table.

He recalled what Mu Anan had said earlier.

It was about the little secret in her heart.

His intuition and insight made him certain that Mu Anan’s insecure state was related to this little secret.

This little secret was directly related to him.

What exactly was it?

Zong Zhengyu frowned.

He poured another glass of wine and poured it into his mouth. He placed the empty glass on the table, making a crisp sound.

The next day, in Yuyuan Estate.

When Mu Anan woke up, she realized that the phone was still connected.

She was a little surprised.

The scene of her calling Seventh Master after the nightmare yesterday and acting coquettishly appeared in her mind intermittently.

She couldn’t help but pick up her cell phone and speak tentatively into the phone. “Seventh Master.”

Just as she finished shouting, the man’s slightly hoarse voice came from the receiver. “Yes.”

Mu Anan was a little surprised. “You… Didn’t you sleep?”

Zong Zhengyu didn’t answer her but asked, “Are you awake?”

“Yes.” Mu Anan nodded.

“Go wash up and have your breakfast.”

“Yes.” Mu Anan still nodded. Then, she could not help but say, “Yesterday, I…”

“Are you going to the press conference today?” Zong Zhengyu did not wait for Mu Anan to mention yesterday but he changed the topic.

Mu Anan didn’t ask about what happened yesterday either.

After all, now that she thought about it, it was a little childish.

She called the Seventh A/Iaster in the middle of the night because of a nightmare and even disturbed him for the entire night.

His voice was hoarse now.

Mu Anan went along with the Seventh Master’s topic. “Yes. Jiang Zhen sent me a message last night. The press conference will be held in the lobby of Hotel DN.”

As Mu Anan spoke, she looked at the clock and realized that it was already eight o’clock.

The press conference officially began at 8:30 a.m.

Just as she was thinking about the press conference, she received a call from Jiang Zhen.

However, Mu Anan was still on the phone with the Seventh Master. There was only a prompt to tell her if she wanted to switch to Jiang Zhen’s call.

Mu Anan clicked “No”. Then, she said to Seventh Master, “Seventh Master, it’s time. I have to go to the press conference.”

“Okay.” Seventh Master nodded. “Remember, you must have someone by your side at all times.”

“I asked Number One to accompany me.” After Mu Anan finished speaking, she quickly explained again, “Number One is the bodyguard that Dr. Gu chose for me. He’s very good at fighting and observing.”

“Go ahead.” Zong Zhengyu didn’t say much about this matter.

Mu Anan also knew that the Seventh Master had spoken to Dr. Gu yesterday, so he had probably arranged everything. That was why she was relieved.

Mu Anan didn’t delay any longer. She called Jiang Zhen back and told him that she would be there at 8:30 a.m. Then, she hopped into the bathroom to wash up.

After breakfast, she went to Hotel DN with Dr. Gu.

Jiang Zhen was going to hold a press conference to explain what had happened recently. He had already informed the media last night.

Jiang Qin’s incident had been a hot topic for the past few days, so all the reporters rushed over as soon as they received the news.

Many people had already gathered in the lobby of Hotel DN.

There were many chairs covered in white cloth in the hall. To avoid confusion, the names of the media companies were pasted on the chairs.

In front of the chair was a long mahogany table with a few microphones placed on it for the parties involved.

Mu Anan was not in a wheelchair this time. She was wearing a mask and a fisherman’s hat, covering her face and holding a walking stick.

Number One and Dr. Gu followed behind her.

However, Mu Anan only took a look at the situation at the door. Then, she lowered her voice and said to Dr. Gu, “How’s the investigation by Number Two going?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Number Two called Dr. Gu’s phone.

Mu Anan answered it. She asked, “How’s the investigation going?”

Number Two replied. Mu Anan smiled and said, “Continue to investigate with the few persons. Find out whom they are related to and continue to follow up.”

Mu Anan handed the phone to Dr. Gu.

She glanced at the chairs covered in white cloth and saw that they were almost full.

Then, the sound of a car engine came from outside.

It was the Jiang family!
