Chapter 107
"What reason does your father have to abolish the royal family?" Xia Mu was angry, and argued with cat eyes wide: "Your sister is not born yet, and besides, the successor to the throne has always prioritized ability. Aren’t you afraid of arousing public outrage?”
Duan Zitong squinted his eyes, showing two small canine teeth, and nodded solemnly at her: "Thank you Miss Xia for your trust, but in terms of ability to govern the country, my sister may not be inferior to me."
"In peaceful times, there are no foreign enemies to invade, and there is no need to expand abroad. The rule of our race is just to increase the sense of security for the common people, and it has little practical significance."
Xia Mu frowned slightly: "Juanjuan, the throne represents not only the responsibility to the people, but also the supreme status and glory. It belongs to you. Others have no right to threaten you with it. You have to be tougher."
Duan Zitong looked confused. In the past year, she was always scolded by her father and queen for being "too rebellious", but the stupid cat told her to "be tougher"...
With the blessing of the rage syndrome during pregnancy, the queen mother has already achieved the perfect "ear-twisting magic skill". If His Royal Highness Eggroll's attitude is tougher, the ears may not be able to keep.
Seeing that Juanjuan remained silent, Xia Mu hurriedly brought the topic back: "Let's talk about this surveillance video first, what is the origin of this group of people?"
Duan Zitong looked up at her, and answered the wrong question: "I want to see Ao Gu's mother."
Xia Mu agreed without much hesitation, went downstairs immediately, and brought Aunt Shen into the bedroom.
"Don't be nervous, it's one of my CGA colleagues, come to ask about the situation, just say what you know."
Aunt Shen walked in the door quietly, and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old curly-haired girl sitting in front of the computer desk, with unusually delicate features, a pair of purple pupils staring straight at her. SD doll-like.
The curly-haired child was wearing a pea-green jacket and black trousers, with one arm resting on the back of the chair. In the chair, it looks quite petite.
However, when Aunt Shen walked to the desk, the child put away his long legs and stood up, suddenly surpassing her by a head...
"I'm Xia Mu's friend, you can call me Juanjuan." Duan Zitong held out his hand to her, with a serious expression on his face without a smile on his face.
Aunt Shen frowned slightly. From the angle of looking up, she felt that the child had a kind face.
"Oh... hello." Aunt Shen came back to her senses and stepped forward to hold Duan Zitong's hand: "Can I help you?"
Duan Zitong twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied half-jokingly: "It's hard for you, your daughter is missing, and you still want to help us first."
Shen Xiaoyu was taken aback for a moment, always feeling that there was something in the child's words, but when she looked carefully, that childish face was full of harmless smiles.
Aunt Shen breathed a sigh of relief, pulled herself together, and started talking vigilantly——
Duan Zitong didn't ask questions related to the case, but gossips about the difficulties she encountered when she first left the country.
Xia Mu found that Aunt Shen's mood was very tense, and she always paused for a long time before answering questions, as if every sentence was thought out before she said it.
Aunt Shen talked about her experience of working in the kitchen of a restaurant when she first went abroad.
She described the layout and decoration of the kitchen, the material of the operating room, and even remembered the name of the head chef at that time.
Duan Zitong listened very carefully, staring intently at every micro-expression she made when she spoke.
When Aunt Shen mentioned that she "would wash the tableware for twelve hours a day", Juan Juan's eyes turned, and his eyes quickly passed over her hands clasped on her knees.
……
Xia Mu looked at the time, it was already 09:30 in the evening, Juanjuan hadn't asked the main question yet, she couldn't help but cleared her throat, interrupted Aunt Shen's long memory of suffering, and urged impatiently: "Juanjuan, It's getting late, let's talk about the case."
Duan Zitong slowly groped his jaw with his fingertips, and his reaction was a little slow, as if he was thinking about something, while murmuring: "We've been talking."
An hour later, Duan Zitong finally finished asking a bunch of irrelevant questions, and got up to say goodbye to Aunt Shen.
Xia Mu sent the scroll out.
After closing the door, she immediately asked suspiciously: "Juanjuan, why don't you ask about the case?"
Duan Zitong raised his head with a cold touch across his cheeks, and in the square light projected by the window on the second floor, there were fine snowflakes, like dust in the sun.
"Snowing."
"I'm asking you something!" How could Xia Mu want to enjoy the snow?She didn't even want to watch the pie in the sky, so she asked impatiently, "Why do you keep asking about trivial matters?"
Juan Juan's eyes fell on her: "Then what do you want me to ask? Ask those questions that she is ready to answer?"
Xia Mu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Juanjuan laughed, a pair of peach-blossom pupils were hidden in the moonlight, no color could be seen, but the pupil light was clearer, reflecting the silvery moonlight.
"There are many flaws in the impromptu lies. What I asked were all things that she didn't know how to think about before, so many truths—"
Duan Zitong rubbed Xia Mu's eyes with his hand, and murmured softly: "She can't hide her eyes, she can't hold her hands tightly, her whole body is full of flaws."
Xia Mu: "..."
Communicating complex issues with high-IQ pups can be a pain.
She really didn't want to accept the fact that her IQ couldn't keep up with the bear cubs, but the matter was of great importance. Xia Mu was silent for a long time, but still endured the humiliation and asked: "What's the truth? Please explain it clearly!"
Juan Juan withdrew his hand: "It's not the time to talk about this yet, I don't have sufficient evidence."
Xia Mu's standpoint was completely nailed to her family's suffering of more than ten years. There were many preconceived notions deeply imprinted in her heart, and she couldn't easily get out of the dead end.
Any opposing guesses may touch her bottom line, and even her self-esteem. Random guesses without sufficient evidence can only arouse Xia Mu's hostility.
Xia Mu asked anxiously: "Where are those people? Is it possible to find out what organization they are?"
"I can't find it for the time being, but your father should not be in danger. Wait patiently. When they officially start, the clues will come to us."
Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, "What about Ao Gu?"
"She's safer and will probably come back by herself."
Xia Mu's face changed from cloudy to sunny when she heard this. The anxiety over the past few days had made her cheeks thinner, and her two watery cat eyes appeared bigger, as if they could hide the entire starry sky.
Juanjuan chuckled: "You don't even ask me why?"
Xia Mu curled her lips when she heard the words, lowered her head and murmured: "I believe in you."
Time seemed to stand still, and the air fell into an ambiguous silence.
Juanjuan broke the silence first: "I'm afraid you will regret it."
Xia Mu looked up at her.
Juanjuan looked serious: "Once the investigation starts, I will not let go of any assumptions from any angle. Even your parents may become suspects in my assumptions. If the results come out and make you hate me, Then I might as well not interfere in the first place."
"No." Xia Mu replied firmly: "My parents must be innocent, you can do whatever you want to investigate, as long as it is the truth, I can accept any result."
Duan Zitong tilted his head to look at her: "There is no evidence for what you say."
"Then what certificate do you want?" Xia Mu raised her chest with a confident expression.
Curly narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, raised his hand around her neck, brushed away her ponytail, and gently rubbed the shallow mark on the back of her neck with his fingertips...
Xia Mu immediately shrank his neck, his face flushed red, and "slapped" the bear cub's hand, and resolutely stopped it: "This can't be done!"
Xiong Cub's smile immediately cooled down, he straightened up, turned his head lazily away, and snorted coldly like a baby: "There is no sincerity at all."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the parking space on the side of the road, "Then I wish you and CGA good luck, Miss Xia, farewell."
"Juanjuan!" Xia Mu hurriedly followed the bear cub: "Stop making trouble, how can anyone take your body as sincerity!"
Juanjuan walked to the car door, turned around, crossed his long legs, leaned on the car door, and replied confidently: "I am no longer an intern at CGA, so I don't have the obligation to be an intern policeman, right? The only thing I have left is The only motivation is to help your girlfriend out of the crisis, you don’t even have the sincerity to let me work hard, are you trying to play hooligans?”
Xia Mu: "..."
Duan Zitong complained solemnly: "If you continue to do this, I will go to your bureau to complain to you, saying that you kiss the crown prince forcibly every day on the set, but you don't let the mark, mentally abusing the beautiful Dihera girl, it is likely to lead to the death of this rare race. Descendants have a mental breakdown."
"Pfft..." Xia Mu laughed out of nowhere, and raised his hand to thump the bear cub's arm: "You are addicted to teasing me, aren't you?"
The two quarreled in the snow for half an hour.
Xia Mu's cheeks turned red from the cold, and Juanjuan urged her to go home.
Xia Mu rubbed her frozen hands, walked back to the living room and closed the door, and suddenly heard her mother's icy voice coming from the window: "Are you finally willing to come back?"
Seeing that her mother had a cigarette in her hand, Xia Mu immediately stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, snatching the cigarette away: "Mom, don't smoke like this, your body will collapse! Don't worry too much, Dad will come back safely."
"That little dragon told you?" Su Yumo sneered, "Her wise father promised to let her go?"
Xia Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he explained embarrassingly: "Mom, now I can't be sure that Dad must have been taken away by the king. If Juanjuan says he is safe, then he is absolutely safe. Just wait patiently for a while. Trust me, Dad will definitely come back."
Su Yumo clenched her fists suddenly, and looked at her daughter in disbelief: "You will believe whatever that brat says? Don't you know what relationship their family has with us? You have read the books for more than ten years into the stomach of a dog." ? I think you were stunned by that curly-haired cub!"
Xia Mu was stunned for a moment, and her hands and feet were suddenly cold. She has never been scolded loudly by her parents, let alone such an ugly scolding.
It was as if someone had hit her head with a sap, but the person holding the stick was her mother—this woman who was emotionally broken because of her husband's disappearance.
Xia Mu was stunned for a long time, swallowed her grievance forcefully, and explained in a trembling voice: "Mom, it's not... Judging her..."
"Don't call me Juanjuan in front of me. Does that brat have a name? Duan Zitong, right? What does it have to do with Duan Qingze?"
Su Yumo gritted her teeth and sneered: "That little face looks like it was carved out of a mold, oh no, it is indeed much prettier than Your Majesty, no wonder my daughter is so fascinated by it!"
"Tell me Xia Mu the truth, what on earth do you want to do? I know you are not a money-seeking person, and if you want to move, you want to do it for real. So you are counting on a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who will be passionately in love, overcome all difficulties in the future, and marry you To be a princess? When did you become so stupid? If you say it, you will be laughed to death, do you understand!"
Xia Mu had a sore nose, bit her lower lip and looked at her mother, took two deep breaths, and then replied tremblingly: "Mom, I know you are in a bad mood..."
"I'm not being angry." Su Yumo looked at her daughter sternly: "I just want you to hear clearly, your father was taken away by the king, and I don't want to see you flirting with the king's son again , and remind you, if alpha wants to mark you, he can say any sweet love words, if you really believe it, you are a fool!"
