"Yi Ge, help me check something." Mu Xi didn't wait for the other to ask, went straight to the point: "Domestically, has anyone recently been investigating Youbao's identity?"

But if it's not an enemy, then someone is targeting the Mu and Song families.

He opened his eyes, his gaze falling on his own reflection in the glass, a fleeting darkness in his eyes.

He didn't turn around, merely adjusted his stance slightly and put his phone in his pocket.

Mu Xu walked to his side, the brothers standing shoulder to shoulder, their breaths unusually in sync and kept low.

Translation: "Mu Xin walked to his side, the two brothers standing shoulder to shoulder, their breaths unusually in sync, pressed low."

After a long while, Mu Xu finally spoke, his voice soft: "Second brother, have you listened to that recording?"

Translation: "After a long while, Mu Xin finally spoke, voice soft: \"Second Brother, have you listened to that recording? \""

"No."

Translation: "\"No. \""

Translation: "Mu Xin didn't ask again."

Translation: "When the recording reached Song Zeyi's hands, he hesitated for a long time before sending it to him, adding: \"【Young Master, you need to be mentally prepared.】\""

Translation: "\"I just had Xiao Si and them look into it. \" Mu Xin said slowly, \"Among those our grandfather helped back then, there's one still in M Guo, doing quite well. \""

Translation: "\"He says his subordinates were clueless, nearly hurting the benefactor's child. \" Mu Xin's tone was light, \"I neither agreed nor refused. \""

Mu Xi let out a cold snort, "Do they deserve it?"

Translation: "Mu Xi let out a cold scoff, \"Do they deserve it? \""

"They don't." Mu Xu replied, his fingertips curling slightly at his side, "I'm thinking of just razing their nest..."

Translation: "\"They don't. \" Mu Xin replied, fingertips curling slightly at his side, \"What I'm thinking is to directly raid their nest……\""

He trailed off, his voice softening a bit: "Or we could wait until Youbao wakes up to talk about it."

Translation: "He trailed off, his voice softening a bit: \"Or we could wait until Youbao wakes up to talk about it. \""

Mu Youyou lay on the bed, her eyelashes fluttering, obviously sleeping very restlessly.

Jiang Liangjin sat on the chair beside the bed, one hand still holding hers, never letting go.

The phone vibrated once.

Translation: "His phone vibrated once."

Jiang Liangjin glanced at it; it was a message from Jiang Yuan: "My friend went to pick them up, they should be here within half an hour at most."

Translation: "Jiang Liangjin glanced at it; it was a message from Jiang Yuan: \"【My friend went to pick them up, at most half an hour later we'll be able to get them.】\""

He replied with "OK," then set his phone to silent and put it back in his pocket.

Translation: "He replied with \"【OK】\", then set his phone to silent and put it back in his pocket."

The person on the bed suddenly moved a bit, their eyelashes trembling more violently, but they didn't open their eyes, just unconsciously rubbing against him.

He reached out, taking her hand with his other free hand, silently comforting her.

In the side hall, Qing An finally stopped pacing.

He sat on the sofa armrest, his long legs stretched forward, but his eyes kept fixed on the direction of the door.

Ruo Ya watched him like that, finally couldn't help speaking: "Can't you sit properly?"

"I can't sit still." Qing An's tone was impatient, "When will my sister wake up?"

"She just fell asleep not long ago." Mu Xianqi replied, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"How could I not be anxious?" Qing An jumped to his feet, "She was kidnapped because of me; if it weren't for me……"

"What if it weren't for you?" Qing Wei's voice came from beside, cutting him off evenly, "Those people were originally after me; your anger is useless, blaming yourself, blaming me, blaming your sister……"

Ruo Ya glanced at him lightly, "Say less."

Qing Wei closed his mouth.

This misfortune largely stems from an old grudge of the imperial family, implicating Mingxi's younger sister; his guilt and heartache are no less than anyone's.

Song Yusui leaned on the sofa, holding his phone, not knowing what he was looking at, then let out an "hmm."

"What's wrong?" Song Yan leaned over.

"Domestic hot search." Song Yusui frowned, turning the screen away.

Song Yan glanced at it and couldn't help standing up.

The top ten hot searches were basically all about the sister.

At the very top hung: #Y Guo Princess Mingxi kidnapped in M Guo#

Clicking in, the content was written with convincing detail.

Allegedly according to insiders, suspected internal conflict within the royal family, currently life or death unknown.

The accompanying picture was a photo of Mu Youyu and Qing An laughing and chatting at the Earl's mansion banquet, the very one stored in the kidnappers' phone.

Another photo showed the scene at the time, blocked by vehicles, the ground stained with blood and still retaining several daggers.

"Who is so bold as to spread such rumors at this time?" Song Yan's face darkened, his tone icy.

"I don't know." Song Yusui scrolled down, "It went viral not long after it was posted."

"Suppress it." Mu Xianqi's voice came from the window side, without turning his head, "Do it now."

"I've contacted people to suppress it." Song Yusui replied, "But too many people posted it; in just half an hour, the share count has exceeded a million, as if someone deliberately guided it, needing time."

Mu Xin and Mu Xi came in from outside, seeing everyone's varied expressions, Mu Xin stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

Song Yusui handed him the phone, "Have a look yourself."

After looking, Mu Xin's eyes filled with a chill; he said nothing, returned the phone, and turned to walk out.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Xi called out to stop him.

"Make a call." Mu Xin's steps didn't pause, "The domestic PR team should be on duty now."
