Chapter 742: Not Worth It
A City, Yan Mansion.
The mansion still maintained the appearance it had when Mu Yiliang left, without the slightest change.
In the past year, Yan Sijue has rarely set foot here, but recently, the security of the mansion suddenly tightened again.
The atmosphere of the villa was somewhat tense.
In the bedroom, when Yan Sijue finished the call, the phone immediately slipped from his hand, and his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
Yang Ru hurriedly caught the phone, his face full of concern, "President, you should rest."
Yan Sijue shook his head gently, "How’s it going?"
"As you expected, those people still haven’t given up and plan to go to S City. Now the security department has captured them all," Yang Ru said with admiration in his voice, "I can guarantee this is the last of them, you don’t need to worry about Lady Mu’s safety."
"That’s good, just in case, have the Information Security Department screen again," Yan Sijue instructed calmly.
His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless, while beads of sweat continually trickled down his forehead, showing the pain he was enduring.
His back was a large wound caused by an explosion, and although treated, it was still mangled.
Yet, his eyes remained as dark and steady as ever.
Yang Ru sighed softly, responding with a low voice of agreement.
"President, why don’t you use some painkillers?" Yang Ru persistently advised.
"No need," Yan Sijue said indifferently and closed his eyes.
Painkillers would make one forget the real pain, numbing the mind, which is not what he wanted.
Yang Ru dared not speak any further, gently leaving the bedroom and passing on Yan Sijue’s instructions.
He instinctively glanced back, sighing.
Last month, several ISIS terrorists successfully entered the country and nearly kidnapped the President. Although they didn’t succeed, the President was injured, and those people escaped.
Until a few days ago, the Information Security Department obtained definitive information; those people planned to go to S City to create a bombing incident. To draw them out and ensure the safety of Lady Mu and the young master, the President used himself as bait, luring those terrorists to change their location to A City. While capturing them all, he was seriously injured himself.
To prevent Lady Mu from worrying, after waking from unconsciousness, the President immediately called her, forcing himself to act as if nothing was wrong.
Yang Ru didn’t understand, since the President had done so much for Lady Mu, why not let her know? He felt it was unfair to his boss, yet he didn’t dare to persuade him because he knew that any persuasion involving Lady Mu was meaningless.

Mu Yiliang resigned.
Although her time working at Fengye wasn’t long, she still had feelings for it, so her sudden choice to resign surprised everyone.
However, when colleagues thought about how Mu Yiliang had given birth to Yan Sijue’s child, they felt they had grasped the truth and smiled knowingly to themselves.
Mu Yiliang didn’t explain anything, just smiled as she bid farewell to everyone.
Everyone knew about Gu Benhong’s issue, but since he was no longer the big boss of Fengye and just an ordinary director, the impact on the company wasn’t significant.
No one would have thought she would choose to help Gu Qingqian when the Gu Family was in decline.
Gu Qingqian personally came to the company to pick her up, marking his first visit to Fengye’s headquarters since his mother’s incident.
