Chapter 559
Chuan was taken aback at Muchen's cold and contemptuous glance.
Then, both of them left the VIP room one after another.
Chuan couldn't contain his curiosity and asked Muchen, "Boss, how did you manage to get them all drunk like that?"
And he did it in such a short time when he left briefly to answer a call.
The duration was ten minutes maximum.
Instead of answering Chuan's question, Muchen asked him, "Who called you?"
Chuan quickly internalized the situation for a fitting response.
Boss decided to come to the business dinner out of whim.
But halfway through, he got restless and got all the clients drunk so he could go home early.
Boss probably can't wait to go home.
Thinking of this, Chuan divulged, "It was Madam."
Chuan thought Muchen would get the gist that Ziyue called because she was concerned about him. He might cease
aggravation against Ziyue.
Unfortunately, the reality turned out...
"Huh!" Muchen jeered coldly. His disdainful gaze startled Chuan.
Muchen's reaction caught him off guard. Out of discomfiture, Chuan hacked his throat.
Did I say something wrong again?
He thought in his heart and held his tongue because Muchen looked somewhat touchy.
Muchen stared at him and uttered coldly, "Very well."
Chuan had a bad feeling in his gut. Although fretful of Muchen's touchiness, he still braved himself and said, "Boss,
actually, Madam is just..."
"Shut up." Muchen walked away in strides, emanating a chilling aura.

Fear didn't stop Chuan. He hurried behind Muchen and continued, "Madam is worried about you. She's worried that
you'll drink too much..."
Chuan's answer might have triggered Muchen's frustration. The latter halted his feet, turned around, and
exclaimed, "I said enough!"
Only then did Chuan notice Muchen's grim expression.
Chuan didn't dare to say anything more.
Muchen glared at him and shouted, "F*ck off!"
At this time, they reached the entrance of the restaurant.
Muchen turned away and headed straight to the parking lot. Once he got in the car, he drove away at once.
Chuan stood at the restaurant entrance, perplexed. He felt powerless with Muchen's mood swings and didn't know
what else to do anymore.
Just a second ago, Muchen was fine but flared up the next moment.
Chuan shook his head and resignedly walked to the roadside to hail a taxi.
Just now, they came to the restaurant together in a car.
Now that Muchen had taken the car and left, Chuan had no choice but to take a taxi home.
Meanwhile, Muchen sped through the highways.
Initially, he was driving in the direction of the villa.
However, he couldn't help but be upset when he was reminded that Ziyue chose to call Chuan than call him. The
introspection fuelled his wrath. Subsequently, he made a sharp turn and drove in the opposite direction.
Muchen understood Ziyue called Chuan to watch out for his alcohol intake. However, he still couldn't shake off his
frustration toward her.
Did she care more about Shichu that much?
Because of Shichu, she gave him silent treatment and refused to call him.
Plus... he had told her Shichu's true color, yet she still...
The more Muchen thought about it, the angrier he became.
By noon, he had regretted his impulse for blowing the gaff on Shichu's evildoing of Ziyue.
Deep down in his heart, he knew Shichu was special to Ziyue.
Muchen was very jealous and possessive of Ziyue. He wanted her to only care about him and nobody else.
But he knew he couldn't turn back time and alter the reality that Shichu and Ziyue had grown up alongside each
other since they were born.
So, he could only try his best to prevent Ziyue from meeting Shichu.
Of all the men interested in Ziyue, Shichu was by far the most astute. They grew up together, so Shichu knew her
profoundly.
Shichu knew her boundary too well and would only do things that favored him. Thus, he had never revealed his
feelings for her.
Ziyue would never discover Shichu's feelings for her if he had observed her boundary and kept his feelings under
the spout.
Ziyue had always been trusting of those around her.
She had no idea that Shichu had Yannan drugged him with the K1LU73 virus and almost got him killed.
However, Muchen began to suspect Shichu during the IP address investigation at the sanatorium.
Knowing Muchen's capability and that he would soon discover the truth, Shichu decidedly surrendered the formula
for the antidote to him.
Shichu must have been a respectable figure in the medical field otherwise Gricy wouldn't have regarded so highly
of him.
People in different occupational sectors would have their professional circles.
It wasn't a surprise for Shichu to know Xi Yi.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShichu was admittedly a high EQ person. Contrary to Zeyang, he was exceptionally skilled in his sector.
He spent colossal time and effort infecting Muchen with the K1LU73 virus. Yet, when Muchen's life was hanging by a
thread, and he was so near to achieving his goal. Shichu surrendered the antidote formula to Muchen because he
didn't want Ziyue to find out he ran the K7 team.
At that time, Muchen was preoccupied to take on Shichu.
After taking the antidote, his condition significantly improved. Although there were side effects, surviving was
already a remarkable feat.
The incident had gone past. Ziyue might not believe him even if he chose to tell Ziyue about Shichu's damnation.
That was the fact.
Muchen squinted his eyes; his gaze was filled with exasperation. The car speed steadily increased…
"Bang!"
The sound of a car crashing into the roadside guardrail pierced the night sky.
Meanwhile, Ziyue tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She propped herself up and checked her phone for the time.
It was nine o'clock sharp in the evening and wasn't particularly late.
However, she had grown accustomed to Muchen coming home from work at this hour of the night.
She ran her fingers through her hair, got out of bed, and grabbed a piece of clothing to drape over herself before
going downstairs to pour herself a glass of water.
Ziyue walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water and saw Chuan coming in from the door.
"Chuan?" She didn't expect them to come home so early. She paused before saying again, "You're home."
Although she was talking to Chuan, her gaze traveled past him, seemingly looking for someone else.
After realizing that Muchen didn't come home with Chuan, her eyes dimmed instantly.
"Yeah." Chuan saw Ziyue's disappointed expression and concluded that Muchen had not made it home yet.
