Time flew by, and before they knew it, August had arrived.
Mu Huai'an finally appeared again, carrying all sorts of things, looking exactly as though he had just returned from a vacation.
As Mu Huai'an stepped through the front door, the servants greeted him before returning to their duties.
Once inside, he found no one at home. The lights in the living room were off, and the entire house was unusually quiet and empty.
Mu Huai'an called the butler over. "Where are my parents? Why isn't anyone home?"
The butler replied, "The master is at the company. Madam went out with the youngest young master, the second young master went back to the company, and the third young miss is out with her friends."
Mu Huai'an frowned. "Didn't they say they'd wait for me to come home?"
"Perhaps the master and madam had things to attend to and forgot."
Mu Huai'an waved him away impatiently. "Fine, fine. You can go."
"Yes, sir."
Mu Huai'an looked at the pile of things in his hands, then tossed them carelessly onto the couch and went straight upstairs.
His phone received a text from a stranger. [I've found the target. When should I make my move?]
Mu Huai'an replied, [That's up to you. Just get rid of him. Make it clean, and don't let anyone find out.]
[Understood. About the million you promised me...]
[As long as I see Mu Yanwen dead, you'll get every last cent of that million.]
[Good. Wait for my good news.]
Mu Huai'an tightened his grip on his phone and muttered, "Mu Yanwen, if you hadn't come back, I wouldn't have gone after you. You only have yourself to blame. You shouldn't have come back. You shouldn't have gotten in my way."
