As night fell, Chen Mu returned to Wu Peng's villa with a heavy heart. Due to the circumstances, he could not calm down and continue thinking.
According to custom, he knelt in front of the mourning hall and kept burning the paper, and Chen Yanxi, who had always been clinging to him, ran away in relief. In the midst of his thoughts, he didn't notice someone kneeling beside him.
"Hey, are you still depressed?"
Chen Mu woke up after being poked in the elbow. When he saw the familiar bright face, he felt excited.
"Busy working?"
"Aunt Jiang and the others are here, everything is fine for now."
Chen Mu felt guilty, nervous, and wanted to escape. He quietly looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't find anyone else.
"Okay, don't worry about it, I will be responsible for you."
Chen Mu almost fell over: "Is this what you should say?"
"You are my man anyway, what do you want to do? My little man."
Chen Tianzhu looked like he was risking his life. In fact, what she did last night was a last-minute idea. But the idea of taking away Chen Mu's first time was a decision that had been made long ago. Seeing Li Lao Lao, she felt pressure and knew that if she didn't take action, she would be gone.
She has no regrets now. She has met many outstanding men. Among those who are pursuing her now, there are many who are better than Chen Mu. However, feelings are a strange thing. No matter how good other men are, she just wants to stay by her brother's side as always.
Chen Mu was struggling in his heart. When he was pursued by Su Nan, and with Li Luo's tolerance, he had no intention of enjoying the blessings of others. But that was a dream after all, and reality was too impossible.
However, he didn't want to get an advantage and act like a good boy. Although he was not a biological sibling, the affection he had had since childhood made it difficult for him to blame Chen Tianzhu.
He still remembered that when he was very young, the first time someone satisfied his understanding of the female body, he asked him to swear to be a child bride.
"You've said so, what else can you do?"
"I know that you and Luoluo are in love, and I won't ruin it for you. But you must promise to accompany me at least once a month, no, every week."
Chen Tianzhu said aggrievedly with a strong attitude. Chen Mu knew that the other party was deliberately pretending to be pitiful, but the matter had come to this, no matter how embarrassing it was, as a man, he must take responsibility.
Afterwards, he also thought that even if he had never had romantic feelings for Chen Tianzhu before, he would definitely be in pain if he fell into the arms of another man. Instead of that, possessing the other party is the best result.
What's more, based on his knowledge of someone since childhood, Chen Mu knew that he couldn't escape. Although he doesn't like the other person's personality very much, as the woman of the family, he is definitely extremely lucky to marry her.
This was because the two were childhood sweethearts. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to like him based on his excellence, especially when he was dating Li Luo.
Speaking of Li Luo, that was Chen Mu's greatest luck. Thanks to her identity as a dream interpreter, any man who admires her will be discouraged, so that she has never experienced the love between a man and a woman. No one knew that she still had the talent to realize her dreams, so just the dream of being a husband and wife for more than ten years came to Chen Mu's advantage.
The biggest problem now is that Chen Mu is unwilling to let go of Li Luo, and Li Luo is certainly unwilling to accept Chen Tianshu.
When he was a simple dream interpreter, Chen Mu didn't have much feelings for anyone and couldn't understand the entanglements of emotions. But after awakening his dream power, he gradually fell into the whirlpool of emotions. Wanting everything and giving up nothing.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu suddenly reached out and hugged Chen Tianzhu: "Okay, how old are you to do mischief? In front of Uncle Wu, I promise you that we will always be a family."
Chen Tianzhu was shocked and looked at Chen Mu with his beautiful eyes wide open. He couldn't believe that this was what the other party would say.
"Brother, you weren't kidnapped, were you?"
"But you have to give me time. Luoluo is a dream interpreter. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it and will become a monk."
"Giggle, I understand. You're not enlightened, but you've become a scumbag. You have no intention of breaking up with Luoluo, right?"
Chen Tianzhu pinched Chen Mu dissatisfied, reproaching her, and the smile on his face betrayed her thoughts. She didn't know why, but she was anxious when she saw that the boy she had raised since childhood had a partner, but she didn't feel at all in danger.
I even think that all outstanding girls should like their younger brothers.
"Still in front of Uncle Wu, behave yourself."
"My dear sister, I can promise you. It doesn't matter if you are alone. I wish you could marry all the outstanding girls in the world. However, you can't forget your mother when you have a wife."
"Mom, what the hell, it's still early."
"Luoluo is going home today. Come to my room. I've learned the taste. Let's continue tonight."
"You won't do anything tomorrow?"
Chen Mu rolled his eyes, let go of his arm and continued to burn the paper. Unconsciously, I glanced at the temptation around me and felt a little ready to make a move.
Wu Peng's funeral lasted for seven days, and Chen Xiong only arrived in Mengdu on the third day. With all the guests watching, Chen Mu and three uncles worked together to send Wu Peng's body into the sixth-level dream world.
Seven days later, people from Zhengjing returned one after another. Chen Tianzhu will not stay long. After handling Wu Yi's guardianship, she still has to transfer the girl to Zhengjing.
It's quite tiring to organize a white matter, especially at night, when Chen Mu is almost always there. So much so that even though he threatened Yang Daihua to investigate and deal with the murderer of Wu Peng for him, he did not press him.
In the end, only Liu Ming was left in Chenjiatang. The mission given to him by the old man was that he was not allowed to go back without giving Wu Peng an explanation.
The day after Wu Peng was buried, Chen Mu returned to the Dream Interpretation House and had a good sleep. It's not a big deal about his mental state. He is a dream interpreter anyway, and there is no rest for his conscious activities. He has to keep practicing his dream power even when he is asleep.
However, my body was too tired and I didn't get a good rest for seven days and seven nights.
Jiang Nan was working part-time at the Dream Interpretation House as always, and she felt more and more that she was a qualified housekeeper. I remember that when she went to a national specialty store to buy soothing water for the first time with the Dream Interpretation House business license, she was nervous and worried that she would not be able to buy it. But now, she can get orders of less than 5 million by swiping her face.
At this point, she was thinking about discussing a salary increase with her boss, but unfortunately, someone came to take her job away from her.
——Li Luo moved into the Dream House and arranged things in an orderly manner. She was demoted from housekeeper to assistant again.
"Sister Li, my boss will graduate in less than two months. Are you ready to give out wedding candies?"
In the storage room of the Dream Interpretation House, Jiang Nan interrupted while helping. Across the world, graduation season falls from October to December every year on the Gregorian calendar. All major universities in the Tenglong Empire will graduate on December 1st. There are still two months until Chen Mu graduates.
"He hasn't met my father yet. I'm afraid he needs my father's consent before he can make a final decision."
Li Luo admitted tactfully with some embarrassment and subconsciously looked at the jade bracelet on his hand.
Because of Wu Peng's incident, she had almost met all of Chen Mu's "relatives", and even Chen Xiong endured the "pain of losing his son" to meet her specially.
The jade bracelet on her hand is the seventh-level Mengsha left by Chen Tianzhu's grandmother. This was given to her by Mr. Chen in front of Chen Jiatang and her mother. The meaning is self-evident.
Jiang Nan gossiped about the two of them mainly because of her part-time job. This dream interpretation house was opened by Chen Mu, and the properties were all in Chen Mu's name. But what would she do if Chen Mu returned to the capital after graduation?
"Then will you stay in Mengdu after you get married?"
"Probably. I can do it anywhere. It mainly depends on your boss's wishes."
Li Luo said with some uncertainty. In her expectation, she would be the one to run the Dream Interpretation House from now on, while Chen Mu would continue to work in the Unnatural Bureau.
"Stay here, it's such a wonderful dream. It's the largest city in the empire and the second largest in the world. The boss's family business is all here. It's a pity that you have to start all over again when you go back."
Li Luo smiled and did not explain. If it was for the sake of the family business, both Chen Mu and she would have to return to the capital.
"You're almost busy today. You go wash your hands and rest. I'll call your boss and we'll finish dinner together later."
"OK."
When it came to eating, Jiang Nan's eyes lit up even more, and he directly asked Li Luo to call someone and take care of the rest.
Chen Mu woke up when his nose was pinched. When he saw that Li Luo had lost his temper, he subconsciously looked around him and only felt relieved when he saw that there was no one around him.
"it's dark?"
"Come on, get up and wash up, then go out for dinner."
Chen Mu responded and got up, all fatigue swept away. Especially mentally, it took two months for the dream force sea sealed in his mind to be devoured. Now, his dream power has made a qualitative leap.
It has been three months since he awakened his dream power talent, and he has become a seventeenth-level dream master, and his promotion to the second-level dream master is just around the corner.
This is an achievement that the so-called talented people cannot achieve even after three to five years of normal training.
However, even so, he could not be happy under the current pressure.
After getting up, he sat on the bed, casually took the dream crystal core ball under the pillow, and habitually poked in a few strands of dream power to check the situation.
"Smectite Core Ball?"
"Yes, Yang Daihua gave it to me."
After thinking about it, Chen Mu expressed the troubles in his heart. He had not had a clue for many days and wanted to discuss it with his most trusted people.
——On the day he reached an agreement with Yang Daihua, he received the core ball sent through the other party's secret channel. There is a dream platform made by Yang Daihua to convey news about Liu Ziye.
From the bottom of his heart, Chen Mu believed the secrets revealed to him by the mysterious man, and believed that the governor he said was possessed by Liu Ziye.
Before that, he believed that the package was a means by Zhou Fu, with the purpose of using his hands to get rid of other factions in the political arena. Including the identity of the mysterious man, he speculated that it was Zhou Fu's role, because it was in Zhou Fu's interest to get rid of the governor.
For this reason, Chen Mu inquired about Chen Xiong and found out that the empire did have such an organization and asked him to join if he had the chance. Only then did he dispel his doubts.
Unfortunately, the mysterious man's plan was about to come to nothing. Chen Mu had no interest in joining them at all. He just wanted to use Yang Daihua's energy to kill Wu Peng's murderer.
The core ball in Chen Mu's hand only carries a melting point, which is used to enter the dreamland woven by Yang Daihua to exchange information. Because any change in the dream world will break away from the master's control, so Yang Daihua has to weave a new dream every time he delivers a message.
What remains unchanged is that the initial state of the dream weaved is the same every time, so Chen Mu can always use one melting point.
After hearing Chen Mu's threat to Yang Daihua, Li Luo felt sweaty in his heart. Seeing Chen Mu closing his eyes and falling asleep, he consciously stayed by the side.
Mengli entered the core ball, and Chen Mu was suddenly shocked: for the first time, there was news left by Yang Daihua on the platform.
"On October 9th, the head of the Eagle Country Special Zone will visit and will give a speech at the Far Eastern University of Political Science and Law. Governor Li Yunhao will accompany him to receive him. Liu Ziye has possessed Dean Zhu and plans to assassinate the two of them.
The Mengdu Executive Yuan is under the surveillance of Liu Ziye's gang and cannot provide much help. It is up to you to decide how to deal with it. "
After he finished speaking, Yang Daihua also projected a photo of Dean Zhu.
After reading the message, Chen Mu looked uncertain. He didn't know how Liu Ziye possessed so many people; he didn't know who, Li Yunhao or Dean Zhu, was the real one possessed by Liu Ziye; nor did he know whether Yang Daihua's news was true.
Assuming that Li Yunhao is possessed by Liu Ziye, then he must also know about Yang Daihua being threatened by him. Will the two of them set up a game for him?
Both the Far Eastern University of Political Science and Law and Dean Zhu were familiar to Chen Mu. It is understandable that Liu Ziye planned such an assassination. He just wanted to bring chaos to the empire and fish in troubled waters, but is the location and the possessed character too coincidental?
Moreover, the more I think about this matter, the more abnormal it becomes. Even if the assassination of the foreign envoy is successful, what good will it do to Liu Ziye?
But Chen Mu believed Yang Daihua's words and accidentally killed Dean Zhu. In that situation, no one could save him.
At this time, Chen Mu was eager for the mysterious organization's means. Since the other party could find out that Li Yunhao was possessed, it should not be difficult to find out the true identity of Dean Zhu.
October 9th, there is still one day left.
