Chapter 192 He's just an ordinary person
At that moment, Li Chenxu had just finished a rather important meeting when he suddenly received a call from Liang Yi, and his thick, dark eyebrows immediately furrowed.
Have you called Xiaoyu?
Li Chenxu's voice was deep and serious. Liang Yi immediately sensed something was wrong and dropped his nonchalant tone, hurriedly saying, "I called about two hours ago, but Mu Xiaoyu said she was almost there..."
Liang Yi's words made Li Chenxu's heart sink. Without explaining anything, he immediately hung up the phone and then let his assistant, Lin, into the office.
"Send someone to find Xiaoyu right now, and remember to be quick!"
Li Chenxu's aura was heavy, and his icy voice sent chills down one's spine. Assistant Lin was suddenly summoned by Li Chenxu and was momentarily stunned upon hearing his words, but he quickly regained his composure when he saw Li Chenxu's sharp gaze.
He quickly agreed and turned to leave. But just then, Li Chenxu suddenly called out to him.
"How's the situation on Mu Pengzheng's side? Have those people shown any unusual behavior?"
"Not for now. Our people have been keeping an eye on Mu Pengzheng all this time..." Assistant Lin said, then immediately understood what Li Chenxu meant and quickly added, "He probably can't do anything to Madam."
Liang Yi couldn't contact Mu Xiaoyu. If something had really happened, Li Chenxu's first suspect would be Mu Pengzheng. A man who could be so cruel to his own wife, how could he possibly harm his own child?
The thought of that possibility made Li Chenxu feel as if he had fallen into an abyss, and even the hand holding the pen trembled slightly.
Fortunately, Lin's words reminded him that if Mu Pengzheng really made a move, his people would definitely notice.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand. Now do what I just said immediately and go find Xiaoyu. I need to know where she is as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin quickly agreed. He knew very well how important the matter involved Mu Xiaoyu, and he dared not delay, so he hurriedly left the office.
As soon as Assistant Lin left, Li Chenxu seemed to lose all his strength and fell straight backward.
He weakly covered his eyes with his hands, only then realizing that his back was already covered in a cold sweat.
Since he took over the Li family business, he has experienced countless events, both big and small. He believed that no matter what he faced, he could handle it calmly.
But just now, he realized that he was just an ordinary person.
He simply couldn't remain calm when it came to matters concerning his loved ones...
Li Chenxu remained silent for a while until his panicked feelings gradually subsided before he finally lowered his hands from his eyes.
At this point, he had lost all interest in working. He stood up, quickly put on his coat, and left the office.
Because of her profession, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't actually come into contact with many people or things. If no one makes a move against her, Mu Xiaoyu only has a few places to go right now.
Without further delay, Li Chenxu identified several locations and immediately headed towards them...
Mu Xiaoyu was having snacks with Song Yin when her phone was stolen. She had just left home and was almost at Liang Yi's place when she got out of the car to buy a bottle of water.
Mu Xiaoyu had saved Liang Yi's address on her phone, but she hadn't really memorized it. She also couldn't remember other people's phone numbers. Just as she was about to head home, she ran into Song Yin on the way.
Since neither of them had anything to do that afternoon, they decided to have afternoon tea together, completely unaware that in just a few hours, she had caused a huge uproar outside.
"By the way, what exactly happened to you last time?"
Song Yin is currently on a diet and doesn't dare to eat too many desserts, only sipping her milk tea occasionally to satisfy her craving. Thinking about what happened at Disneyland last time, she couldn't help but ask.
Recalling what happened that day, Mu Xiaoyu's heart was far from calm.
She took a sip of her drink, then smiled slightly at Song Yin and said, "It's nothing, I just saw an acquaintance... I had some past conflicts with that person, and he's quite ruthless, so I was... a little scared."
There are some things Mu Xiaoyu doesn't want to talk about. She's not a fragile person, and she doesn't want to expose her past scars to gain sympathy from others.
She knew about Mu Pengzheng's matter, and for her, knowing about Li Chenxu was enough.
Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's expression, Song Yin knew that Mu Xiaoyu didn't want to say anything more about this matter, so she didn't press the issue further and started talking to Mu Xiaoyu about the movie.
One of them is the original author, and the other is a fan of the original book, so naturally they both have high expectations for the film.
Now that Mu Xiaoyu is also in charge of the screenwriting for this movie, she wants to learn more about Song Yin's thoughts from the perspective of a reader.
Once they started talking about work, the two became completely absorbed. Before they knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Before the two had finished their conversation, Song Yin's phone suddenly rang. She didn't know who was calling, but when she saw the caller ID, her eyes flickered slightly. She smiled faintly at Mu Xiaoyu, then answered the phone and whispered a few words to the person on the other end.
"Boy friend?"
Seeing Song Yin hang up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu asked. She remembered that Li Chenxu had said before that Song Yin was still single and not in a relationship, but Song Yin's tone just now didn't seem like she was talking to an ordinary friend.
Mu Xiaoyu and Song Yin hit it off immediately. Although they haven't known each other for very long, they already consider each other friends and naturally want to know more about Song Yin.
Upon hearing this, Song Yin gave Mu Xiaoyu a meaningful smile, then he shook his head and said, "No, it's my older brother. He asked me when I was coming back, and he's here to pick me up now."
"Oh, I see. That makes sense. It's getting late, we should head back. You'll be more easily recognized during rush hour."
"Actually, you know my older brother too. He went to the same school as you."
Song Yin suddenly spoke up, and Mu Xiaoyu was taken aback, then looked at Song Yin with some confusion. She had graduated several years ago, and in her memory, she didn't seem to have any classmates with the surname Song.
There was someone she remembered, but back in school, that person never seemed to have mentioned having a younger sister…
