"1128"
When Li Chenxu said the four numbers, Mu Xiaoyu's brows immediately furrowed. She closed her eyes and quickly went through the people and events related to those four numbers in her mind over the past twenty years.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure it out.
1128, that's her mother's birthday. But apart from her mother's birthday, there's nothing strange about this string of numbers.
Mu Xiaoyu closed her eyes, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently tapped her brow twice. After a while, she opened her eyes and said to Li Chenxu, "I have to tell my mother about this. Since it is a clue left by Mu Pengzheng, without our help, I'm afraid you won't be able to find out what these numbers really represent."
In fact, Li Chenxu had the same idea, but he originally thought that Mu Pengzheng's death would be a big blow to Mu Xiaoyu and her daughter, so he thought he would wait a couple of days before dealing with Mu Pengzheng's matter.
I didn't expect that Mu Xiaoyu would start thinking about these things so soon after I told her about Mu Pengzheng's death.
Li Chenxu was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly said, "But you're going to tell Auntie about this now. You know her health condition right now. What if she can't handle the shock..."
Li Chenxu didn't continue speaking, but Mu Xiaoyu understood.
The last time Mu Xiaoyu's mother went to the police station to see Mu Pengzheng, although nothing serious happened after she returned, her already poor health was still slightly damaged as a result.
My body hasn't recovered to its previous state yet. If I tell her about it now, she might not be able to handle the shock and could even die. That's not impossible.
Li Chenxu's words gave Mu Xiaoyu a hint, and her heart sank immediately.
When they first captured Mu Pengzheng, everyone thought things were getting better and better, and that everything would become simpler from the moment they caught him.
But only now does Mu Xiaoyu truly understand that the real beginning was from the moment she captured Mu Pengzheng.
All that happened before was just an appetizer compared to what's happening now.
The string of numbers Mu Peng left behind before his death will undoubtedly be a crucial clue for them now. The enemy is currently in the shadows, while they are in the open; no one knows when they will strike again.
Moreover, it's now clear that Old Master Li won't help Li Chenxu. Li Chenxu doesn't know this yet, and he might still need Old Master Li's help with many things. What if Old Master Li really disregards the father-son relationship and helps the other party to atone for his past sins?
At that time, Li Chenxu would have been attacked from both sides, and his situation would have been a hundred times more dangerous than it is now.
Therefore, it is of paramount importance to them to decipher this string of numbers as soon as possible.
But... what if I really go to my mother and, as Li Chenxu just said, can't bear it?
Mu Xiaoyu was caught in a dilemma again. She had never liked making choices. On one side was her closest family, the one who had given her life, and on the other was the man she loved most. She simply couldn't choose!
Mu Xiaoyu's expression grew increasingly somber, with a hint of pain in her eyes.
Li Chenxu, who was standing to the side, felt extremely distressed. He reached out and gently stroked Mu Xiaoyu's back, constantly trying to calm her down. He said softly, "Don't worry about this. Bai Ye and I will try to figure out how to decipher this string of numbers. Let's not let Auntie know for now. After all, we haven't reached the final step yet, have we?"
Mu Xiaoyu bit her lip and remained silent. The numbers Mu Pengzheng left behind must be related to them. Without their help, Bai Ye and Li Chenxu would not have been able to decipher them, no matter how much manpower they expended.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't want Li Chenxu to worry. Li Chenxu had already done enough, and she didn't want him to have to worry about these things now.
She had to figure out how to decipher the string of numbers herself.
"I'm going to see my mom this afternoon. I won't tell her about Mu Pengzheng's death. I'll just ask her about this string of numbers and see if she can come up with anything."
After a long silence, Mu Xiaoyu spoke again. This time, she concealed all the sadness and pain in her eyes, her expression resolute yet strong.
She was never a coward who only knew how to wallow in self-pity and lament the passing of spring. Before, she thought that she would not hold Li Chenxu and the others back, so she did not care about many things anymore. But now it's different. Since there is a way to use her, she must do her best to solve these problems!
“Okay, I’ll take you there this afternoon. But Xiaoyu, never try to handle things alone. We’re husband and wife, and if we face any difficulties, I hope we can get through them together.”
As Li Chenxu spoke, he held Mu Xiaoyu's hand tightly. His palm was warm and dry, as if it had a heartwarming power that instantly calmed Mu Xiaoyu's restless and chaotic state.
She couldn't help but look up at Li Chenxu in front of her. It hadn't even been a year, but it felt like a long time had passed. Looking at Li Chenxu's gentle appearance now, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't even remember what Li Chenxu's cold face looked like during those days when they argued.
Time is truly a magical thing; it can bring two completely unrelated people together, and it can also transform her once deep-seated hatred for Li Chenxu into her current deep love for him.
Li Chenxu let Mu Xiaoyu look at him. Actually, he was very happy that Mu Xiaoyu could do this. This way, at least Mu Xiaoyu's mood could change, and she wouldn't be as sad and upset as before.
"Brother Chenxu, if one day your closest loved one betrays you, will you be sad?"
Mu Xiaoyu stared at Li Chenxu for a long time before suddenly asking a question. Li Chenxu was clearly surprised by what Mu Xiaoyu was going to say, and after a few seconds of stunned silence, he nodded.
However, he didn't speak immediately. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "If it were my closest and dearest, I would be sad. But I believe that my closest and dearest would not betray me. And if they really betray me, it wouldn't be someone I care about."
Li Chenxu believed that Mu Xiaoyu was asking these questions not because of what he had done, but because of other people.
But right now, besides the Li family, Li Chenxu couldn't think of anyone else who could make Mu Xiaoyu ask these questions.
"Xiaoyu, is there something else you want to tell me?"
