A Real Man Isn’t Afraid of a Little Demon

      Yu Chu couldn't sleep, turned over and looked outside, looking at the silhouette of the man on the ground.

    Yu Chu didn't know if he fell asleep, so he asked casually, "Are you asleep?"

    Two seconds later, Zhou Mu's voice rang: "I fell asleep."

    "But I can't sleep, what should I do?"

    Zhou Mu said, "I can't sing lullaby either."

    Yu Chu lay on his side and propped up his head: "Tell me about that key."

    After a while, Zhou Mu said quietly, "I've already told you what I should say, and I don't know anything else."

    "You said you heard the conversation between Yu Shiqing and Uncle Wu, I don't believe it." Yu Chu patted his leg lightly, and a sly light appeared in his bright eyes, " You, as a peripheral employee, would not have had the opportunity to hear the two of them having this conversation."

    "Look for opportunities, there are always." Zhou Mu said.

    Yu Chu simply lifted the quilt and sat up, crossed his legs, and said, "If you don't say anything, I can directly ask Yu Shiqing, and then tell him that you are eavesdropping on him and Wu Uncle speak."

    "Then I can also tell him that you broke Yu Feng's leg." Zhou Mu said lightly.

    "You have no proof."

    "But you have no proof either."

      Yu Chuzhuo pulled his slippers into the cloakroom, and after a crash of clothes racks, he came out with a large pile of clothes and threw them on the bed.

    Zhou Mu watched him pick up the clothes one by one and rummage through his pockets. After checking everything, he threw them back into the cloakroom, and then went to the bedside table to search. When it fell, Zhou Mu quickly sat up and caught it from midair.

    "What are you doing?" Zhou Mu asked.

    Yu Chu said with a stern face: "Look for the key."

    "Do you think it's possible to hide a key in this house?"

     "Who knows? Maybe the previous Yu Chu put the key anywhere, but no one found it."

    Zhou Mu stood up, stood in the middle of the room and watched him rummaging around in the room, took off the mattress, and then squatted down to touch the bottom of the bed.

    "Don't look for it, it will alarm others."

    Yu Chu's upper body was under the bed, he was looking up at the top of the bed, and he said, "What if I'm alarmed? Originally, I didn't pay much attention to this key. Without it, I can still think of leaving the island. , but the more mysterious you are, the more I wonder what's going on."

    After he finished speaking, he drilled out from the bottom of the bed and went to the locker next to the bathroom to take out the toolbox. Seeing that he was going to dismantle the legs of the bed, he meant to dismantle the bed into eight pieces.

    "Don't bother, I'll tell you." Just as Yu Chu aimed the screwdriver at the nail of the bed leg connector, he heard Zhou Mu talking behind him.

    Zhou Mu turned off the lights, the room was dark for a moment, but under the bright moonlight, everything gradually became clear. He went to the window, clicked on the lighter, and lit the cigarette in his mouth. The jumping flame was fleeting, but it was enough for Yu Chu to see his eyes clearly. Those eyes were deep and sharp, reminding him of a deep frozen pool. You don't know what's hidden underneath when you knock out the ice on the surface.

    Zhou Mu took a breath, turned around and asked, "I want to make sure, you really don't remember the past?"

    "Really." Yu Chu replied without hesitation.

    Zhou Mu stared at his face, with an unusually solemn tone: "You have to tell me the truth."

    Yu Chu's right thumb is raised, and the other four fingers are bent inward, sticking to his heart and saying, "I swear."

    This is the oath gesture of his original world, the raised thumb represents the Federation, and the four fingers represent the other four forces.

    Zhou Mu had never seen this strange gesture, but he didn't care.

     "Don't you remember everyone, including your mother?" Zhou Mu asked.

    "I don't remember." Yu Chu said calmly: "For me, Yu Shiqing is only a stranger I have known for a few days, and I can't keep up with you."

    Zhou Mu gave him a deep look and said, "I have a nanny who has taken care of me for many years, I call her Grandma Zhao. She is very nice and the food she cooks is delicious. My sister was brought up by her."

    Yu Chu suddenly heard such an opening statement, and was a little confused, but he knew that the next words must be related to him, so he didn't say anything, just listened carefully.

    "When I was a child, I often heard Grandma Zhao mention her daughter. Her daughter's name is Zheng Shan, and she is studying in a university abroad. Although I have not seen it, it is in Grandma Zhao's description. , I can hear that she is very beautiful and excellent."

    There is a faint smell of tobacco in the air, Zhou Mu's voice is low and magnetic, and the smell of tobacco infiltrates Yu Chu's sense of smell and hearing, in this dark night, with a wonderful, The magic power to soothe people's hearts, let him sink his heart and listen quietly.

    "For a while, probably when I was in elementary school, Grandma Zhao was obviously in a bad mood and was very depressed. Later, when I heard her talking with my sister, I learned that her daughter had a relationship with a The powerful person got better and got pregnant. The man had a family, and the wedding was in the local news, so Grandma Zhao went to her daughter and wanted her to leave the man."

    Yu Chu had already reacted when she heard this. Grandma Zhao's daughter Zheng Shan should be the mother of Yu Chu's original body, and her expression suddenly became a little subtle.

    "I haven't seen Grandma Zhao for many years, only my sister and her occasionally have phone calls. She said that she has found her daughter, and the mother and daughter live together and live well. Zhou Mu took an ashtray made of disposable paper cups, dusted the ashtray inside, and continued, "It wasn't until I was in high school when my sister suddenly received a call from Grandma Zhao and asked her if she could help her meet." When I saw my daughter, I said that Zheng Shan was dying and was lying in the hospital."

    "When my sister went to see Grandma Zhao, she found that she was so old that her whole body had changed shape. I didn't tell the truth on the phone. After she came to look for her daughter that year, the mother and daughter didn't live together at all, and they rarely saw each other."

    "The man imprisoned Zheng Shan, or put her under house arrest. There are people around her who are secretly monitoring her, and she is not allowed to communicate with outsiders, including her own mother." Scrolling up and down, "Grandma Zhao didn't want to cause trouble to my family, so she didn't tell my sister about it."

    "My sister still had some means, and finally found a way to enter the hospital where Zheng Shan was treated and met with her. Zheng Shan was dying at the time and refused my sister's offer to save her. , I just ask her to take good care of her mother. She still has a son, but let my sister rest assured, saying that the man doesn't do anything to her son, and she left the child something to keep him safe. "

    Yu Chu held her breath and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is that the key?"

    "Yes." Zhou Mu said.

    "What is the key?"

    "It was Zheng Shan's secret collection of criminal evidence about the man's illegal activities over the years. She stored the criminal evidence in a safe in a foreign bank, which can only be opened with a key. "

    After a moment of silence, Yu Chu asked, "Why didn't she hand over those criminal evidence? For example, some institutions that can return her freedom and justice."

    Zhou Mu seemed to be caught by this question, and was stunned for a moment, until a piece of cigarette ashes fell on his finger, and then he shook his hand as if it was hot, and said, "She once handed it over, and the result was Instead, she completely lost her freedom. She never saw her mother again, and was used by that man as a reason to threaten her."

    "Are you referring to the fact that Yu Shiqing was once arrested and released without incident?" Yu Chu remembered the post she saw on the forum, where someone mentioned it This issue.

    After being silent for a few seconds, Zhou Mu replied in a low voice, "Yes. But at that time, Zheng Shan didn't have much evidence to convict the man completely."

    Yu Chu sneered: "So even if she has solid evidence later, she will not easily believe those institutions or those people, right? This poor woman can't rely on anyone, she must protect herself The son and mother of the family can only hold the key in their hands.”

    "You have to believe that the past is different from the present. Those people have already fallen and paid their due price." Zhou Mu's voice was low, but with unquestionable affirmation.

    Yu Chu sat cross-legged on the bed, lightly rubbed the deformed little finger of his right hand, and asked lightly, "Zhou Mu, who are you?"

    "As you can see, I'm your bodyguard." Zhou Mu's voice returned to dullness, just like the momentary excitement just now, just a temporary illusion of Yu Chu.

    "No, you're not." Yu Chu stretched out a forefinger and shook it, "If what you said just now is true, then a lot of information has been exposed. For example, ordinary people are If you can't afford a babysitter, you can see this from the TV series "Battle of Mother-in-law and Me". But since you are not an ordinary person, why are you just a famous restaurant owner who fights with customers? You say you Sister has a way to get close to Zheng Shan. What kind of person can get close to the person who is closely guarded by Yu Shiqing? According to the comparison of the heroines in the TV series "Golden Pink Beauty", your sister's identity is definitely not low. Zhou Mu, you have a good family background, but you came to Yu Shiqing to be a thug, I don't think it makes sense, it's very contradictory."

    Zhou Mu:…

    Yu Chu asked again, "Have you seen "Dawn Under the Muzzle"?"

    "Huh?"

    "Eight TV series that are being aired are about two hostile forces. A subordinate of one side goes to the other side to do undercover work." Yu Chu stared at Zhou Mu firmly. face, not letting go of any expression on his face.

    Zhou Mu sighed helplessly, "That's the underground party going undercover with the enemy."

    Yu Chu waved his hand, "It's not important, the important thing is, do you think this plot seems familiar?"

    "You're thinking too much." Zhou Mu said lightly.

    The author has something to say:

    Yu Chu: I see the world through TV series. (proud akimbo)
