Chapter 124 - I like you ("I want to go on with you") (1)

Xu WanZhi had just finished applying her face mask and she even used the tip of her fingers to touch her very delicate skin. “I know you want to be nice to me but this really will not be necessary. I just might not be able to perform as well as I could have if you are there.”

She needed to use her magic tomorrow. That was the most important part of her plan. She would fail if Mu ZhenYu was there.

He couldn’t be there.

Mu ZhenYu looked at her steadily. After a long while, his thin lips parted and he said slowly “WanWan, I bankrupted Huanyu purposefully.”

“What?” What Mu ZhenYu had just told her made her stopped in surprise.

“Huanyu was normal all around. Bai FeiChen and I used some methods to bankrupt it,” said Mu ZhenYu calmly.

“Why?”

Xu WanZhi had an idea for a while now. Even though Huanyu had gone bankrupt but the fact that he moved into this small apartment and selling his old place and his cars were just a show. In many ways, he still acted like he was on top of the world. His own personal assets must not have been affected too much.

She even thought that he might be faking poor to show Mu XiYuan and Qin Sheng or… maybe Feng Chun, the angel investor of the Qin’s.

What she hadn’t expected was that the entire bankruptcy was intentional.

“For the rights,” said Mu ZhenYu as he lowered his head and looked at her. “You know that Project Falcon?”

“Yes, it’s a program meant to prevent crimes that has not yet been adopted.”

“I have talked to the person responsible for Project Falcon about selling Huanyu’s research. To launch Project Falcon, we need two things – first one is the crime-prediction software developed by either Huanyu or the Qin’s and the other one is the rights to all of the surveillance cameras in the city.” When he got to this point, a coldness began to gather in Mu ZhenYu’s eyes. He paused for a little bit before he carried on, “I wanted the rights but I don’t want to sell my application to Project Falcon. Project Falcon’s purchase will be a buyout. Once I sold my program, I will never be able to use it again.”

“So once you have received the rights, you bankrupted Huanyu. You wanted Project Falcon to feel that Huanyu’s management was poor and that the product that you have developed is not a good fit for them?” Xu WanZhi was starting to follow what he was telling her. “But… why do you need this right? What is it that you wanted to look into?”

She suddenly figured it out after she had asked the question. “This… this is about what happened when you were 14 years old? You wanted to find out the kidnappers?”

Mu ZhenYu started to grin. “WanWan, you are a smart girl.”

Xu WanZhi pursed her lips and suddenly felt nervous. “Didn’t you find out anything?”

He nodded slightly. “And not only this. I also found out something else unexpected.”

He didn’t elaborate so she didn’t pry. She nodded with him. “Good then. This way your mother can truly rest in peace.”

There were lights in her limpid eyes. He could tell that she was genuinely happy for him.

He had picked the right person after all.

Reaching out his hand, he stroked her cheek gently. “WanWan, I’m sorry about not getting your consent before our engagement.” His palm was warm along with a sense of tenderness that she couldn’t figure out. “Our engagement has nothing to do with the Mu’s and definitely not your father. I agreed to it because I like you and I would like to carry on with you after our six-month timeline.”

Xu WanZhi shuddered – she never thought he would say such a thing to her.

In her mind, he had always been an assignment to her. Even though she genuinely hoped for his safety but, in her mind, she had always felt that he’d lose it all in the end.

Her plan was to lay low for this six-month period and move on.

But he had given her his heart under this circumstance.

That made her feel both nervous and at loss.
