Chapter 1272: The King (15)
After changing the route, Uncle Yu felt that it wasn’t safe yet, so he contacted someone and left using a transport.
When they alighted from the cruise s.h.i.+p and changed their mode of transportation, Mu Huan felt that Uncle Yu was not an ordinary person.
“Who are you?” she couldn’t help but ask.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is your choice. If you choose to be obedient and complete the task perfectly, you can go home to your husband with no issue.” Uncle Yu brewed tea elegantly. With that, he handed a cup of tea to Mu Huan.
Mu Huan: “…”
If it weren’t for the fact that she couldn’t escape and wasn’t in the mood, she would have liked to have a good taste of this tea with him. It smelled really good.
“It’s useless even if you’re anxious. Why don’t you just deal with it calmly?”
Mu Huan pouted. “You make it sound so good.”
“If I’m forcing you to do something you don’t want to do, I naturally have to say it nicely,” Uncle Yu said with a smile and went to taste his tea.
Mu Huan’s lips twitched, but she did not speak further.
She began to quietly think of a way to kill this Uncle Yu.
“Little girl, are you trying to kill me again?” Uncle Yu put down the cup in his hand.
“Yes.” Mu Huan nodded.
Uncle Yu looked at her and smiled. “Your temper suits my taste.”
“So, do you want to nurture me into your heir? There are very few people in this world who are as outstanding as me! Don’t miss out on the opportunity!” Mu Huan thought that no matter how anxious she was, there was nothing she could do at the moment. Hence, she sat down and chatted with him, hoping to get some useful information.
“I’m really tempted by your words.” This girl was good in every aspect. No wonder Old Ding, who had grown tired of the world, had taken her in as a disciple and stayed in that pet shop for so many years.
“It’s better to take action than to be tempted!” There was no need to look at anything else. Just by looking at the mode of transportation they had just transferred to, Mu Huan knew that Uncle Yu’s family a.s.sets and connections might surpa.s.s hers and Bo Junyan’s. If she could really convince him, she would have made a killing.
In this world, there was always a higher mountain.
“How do you know that I don’t have an heir?” Uncle Yu raised an eyebrow. She wasn’t just casually chatting with him.
“You look like a lonely man who has conquered a huge piece of land without a son, a daughter, or a wife.” With such wealth, if he had a son, a daughter, and a pursuit, would he have the time to do such things with Gu Chenyi?
The only reason he would do this with Gu Chenyi was that he had reached the pinnacle of his life and was old, so he had no other pursuits. Coincidentally, Gu Chenyi had saved him. The two of them had an attachment to each other, and perhaps, for some other reason, Gu Chenyi had an especially good impression on him, which was why he had helped Gu Chenyi.
Uncle Yu: “…”
It looked like…
It turned out that he had a lonely face.
“Actually, you can really consider it. You definitely won’t be able to bear to see no one inherit the career that you’ve spent your entire life working on,” Mu Huan continued.
“Alright, if you can live well and perfectly complete the mission of making Chenyi give up on you himself, I’ll carefully consider you as my successor,” Uncle Yu said.
Mu Huan: “…”
After a round, the topic came back to this.
“Life or death, have you made your choice?” Uncle Yu said seriously. He had already given her a lot of time.
“Is there a need to choose?” Mu Huan would definitely choose between life and death. A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. As long as there’s life, there’s hope!
