Seventh Master, Pat Me to Sleep

Luo Sen continued, “Seventh Master, our people have also checked all the morning flights and we discovered something about the flight bound for Xing Yun Kingdom…”

Before Luo Sen could finish his update, Zong Zhengyu raised his hand to stop him. He then casually gestured with his index finger and Luo Sen left.

Xing Yun Kingdom?

That was the destination Mu Anan had arranged for the real Zhong Ting. If all went well, Zhong Ting should have arrived at the airport in Xing Yun Kingdom by now.

Could Zong Zhengyu have discovered something?

Mu Anan was nervous, but she did not show it.

She was very calm on the surface.

She even took the initiative to probe, “Seventh Master, are you going to capture Zhong Ting soon?”

Zong Zhengyu lowered his eyes.

Mu Anan then pretended to sigh, “I’ve met Zhong Ting a few times before. She doesn’t seem like a bad person. Perhaps it was just a slip up that she went astray. Why don’t you let this matter pa.s.s, Seventh Master?”

As soon as Mu Anan said this, Zong Zhengyu’s eyes turned sharp. “This is the first woman who dared to trick me. I’m very curious.”

Although he said that, Zong Zhengyu’s aura was cold.

Mu Anan even felt that if Zhong Ting was there now, Zong Zhengyu would have killed her.

What would happen if Seventh Master found out that she was the one who tricked him?

Mu Anan suddenly shuddered.

She had to shut down this matter.

“Have a good rest.”

After Zong Zhengyu said that, he removed Mu Anan’s hand and tuck it under the blanket.

When he turned to leave, he glanced at Dr. Gu, who was standing near her bed, before he opened the door and left.

The second the door closed with a soft bang, Dr. Gu’s legs went weak. He hurriedly pulled a chair over and sat down. His forehead glistened with cold sweat. “We’re done for!”

When Dr. Gu heard Luo Sen’s update that they had discovered something about the flight bound for Xing Yun Kingdom, he almost collapsed.

After all, he was the one who suggested the remedy to Mu Anan when Zong Zhengyu’s migraine acted up.

Once Zong Zhengyu found out, he would be the first to die!

Dr. Gu quickly looked at Mu Anan. “Miss Anan…”

Mu Anan did not say anything. She just sat on her bed with a grave expression.

The sweet girl look she put on for Zong Zhengyu was completely gone. Instead, she frowned deeply as she thought about Luo Sen’s update.

They discovered something strange about the flight bound for Xing Yun Kingdom?

What did they discover?

Luo Sen’s update had thrown the entire matter out of Mu Anan’s control.

She was very nervous and worried, but she knew that it was useless to panic now.

The most effective way to deal with this complication now was to find out what Luo Sen had discovered!

At the thought of this, Mu Anan flipped open the blanket and got out of bed.

Seeing her reaction, Dr. Gu quickly stood up. “Miss Anan, where are you going?”

Mu Anan did not answer but asked, “How goes the matter with Auntie Zhong?”

“I’ve already arranged for her to fly to Xing Yun Kingdom.”

Mu Anan frowned and asked a follow-up question, “Was the process of taking Auntie Zhong away smooth?”

“Very smooth,” Dr. Gu replied.

When Mu Anan heard that, she thought to herself that they were indeed done for.

It would never be a smooth process even if Mu Anan arranged for someone to be taken away from Yuyuan Estate.

The smoother the process, the more likely it was that Seventh Master had intentionally let it happen.

Could it be that Seventh Master wanted to use Auntie Zhong to find Zhong Ting?

The more Mu Anan thought about it, the more suspicious she got. She immediately said to Dr. Gu, “Use my name to get our people at Xing Yun Kingdom to pick up Auntie Zhong.”

“Miss Anan?” Dr. Gu was shocked.

Mu Anan was calm. “I’m quite close to Auntie Zhong. Just take it that I was the one who took Auntie Zhong away. Even if Seventh Master thought that this was related to Zhong Ting, he wouldn’t think that I would do such a stupid thing.”

“Also, please remind everyone not to let Auntie Zhong come into contact with Zhong Ting.”

After she said that, Mu Anan took her coat to leave.

When Dr. Gu saw this, he immediately stopped her. “Miss Anan, if you go over now, Seventh Master will be even more suspicious. Why don’t you stay put and allow me some time to find out more from Luo Sen?”

“Do you think you can get Seventh Master’s most trusted aide to talk?” Mu Anan asked.

Dr. Gu was speechless.

Luo Sen was famous for being an emotionless robot. He was Seventh Master’s most loyal servant.

But now that things had come to this, they had to think of a way.

“However, Luo Sen may be tightlipped and logical, but his subordinates may not be.” Mu Anan suggested.

Dr. Gu’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He said immediately, “I’ll find out right away.”

Mu Anan nodded.

After Dr. Gu left, Mu Anan scratched her head.

She was going to leave but she turned around and picked up an old soft toy rabbit from her bed. She then looked completely sleepy and walked towards Zong Zhengyu’s study.

When Mu Anan arrived at the study, she pushed the door open without hesitation and overheard Luo Sen.

“Don’t worry, Seventh Master. Everything has been arranged in Xing Yun Kingdom. I’ll keep you apprised of any progress.”

Mu Anan acted as if she didn’t overhear Luo Sen as she held the soft toy rabbit with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other, and she walked towards Zong Zhengyu.

Seventh Master naturally held out his arms and let Mu Anan collapse on his lap.

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t sleep.”

Zong Zhengyu looked up and glanced at Luo Sen, who immediately left.

Mu Anan felt a little regretful.

Zong Zhengyu had told her before that he would never avoid her even when talking about work.

She came to the study to get some intel, but she failed.

Forget it. She would just go to sleep. She was tired anyway.

Mu Anan found a comfortable position in Zong Zhengyu’s arms.

Seventh Master hugged her tightly and patted her back. He hummed a song patiently to put Mu Anan to sleep.

Zong Zhengyu’s voice was especially pleasant to the ear.

His voice was of the subwoofer variety, a little hoa.r.s.e but very magnetic.

Mu Anan fell into light sleep under Zong Zhengyu’s lullaby.

Mu Anan didn’t sleep well that night.

She had a nightmare.

She dreamed that Zong Zhengyu was furious when he found out that she was the one that night. He strangled her and accused her of being ungrateful and spoiled before he cruelly abandoned her.

Mu Anan was startled awake.

She sat in a stupor on her bed while the morning sunlight came in through the French windows onto the Persian carpet.

It was a warm scene, but Mu Anan felt a chill in her heart.

When Dr. Gu knocked on her door and entered, she quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and put on her usual calm face.

Dr. Gu glanced at the door before he walked up to Mu Anan with his medical bag. “I b.u.mped into Seventh Master on my way in. He was headed for the office and instructed me that you are not allowed to go to school until your wounds have fully recovered.”

Mu Anan lowered her head to look at her wounds, which had healed.

The wounds were nothing to begin with. She was just acting like a spoiled child yesterday to placate Zong Zhengyu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let her car racing incident go.

Mu Anan knew very well that Zong Zhengyu did not want her to race because he did not want her to have anything to do with the Jiang family.

Zong Zhengyu wanted Mu Anan to let go of her past.

However, her mother and grandfather had died too tragically. Mu Anan would feel uneasy for the rest of her life if she didn’t take revenge.

But that was not her immediate problem now.

Mu Anan asked Dr. Gu, “What did Seventh Master discover about Xing Yun Kingdom?”
