Chapter 136 - The Truth (Looking at him from
behind, Xu Lisa really wanted to tell him the truth.)
(1)

When she was done talking, Mu Jungkook became
quieter. The curve on his lips had disappeared
gradually.

After a long while, he let out what sounded like a sigh.

"If that is the case, if I repeat the experiment again
with all five systems, would I arrive at the same result as yours?"

Xu Lisa quickly avoided his eyes. She was being
stupid. How could she had forgotten that he could
easily do that?

Mu Jungkook lifted up his hand and brushed away the hair that was in her eyes. "Lili, it's okay if you
don't want to say."

There was disappointment in his eyes and a sense of loneliness that she couldn't quite understand.

Xu Lisa all of a sudden felt that her heart had
opened up a crack and, in that small mysterious area, she was at loss.

Mu Jungkook stopped the car, opened up the door, and paused for a few seconds.

Xu Lisa looked at his back and really wanted to tell
him the truth. But the words being at the tip of her
tongue, she didn't know how to articulate them.

Finally, she let out a sign, opened up her side of the
car door as well, and followed him into the mu's.

It was already passed dinner time. The dishes on the dinner table had already been removed and replaced with snacks and fruits. Old Madam mu, with her cellphone in her hand, was sharing the video clips sent over by her old friends. Mu Jiyong was sitting across from her, reading the financial news. Wang Lia, sitting to his left, remained silent.

Mu Jungkook changed out of his shoes and handed his suit jacket to the maid. Walking inside the dining room with Xu Lisa in his hand, he said, "I apologize for being 10 minutes late. Sorry for the wait."

"That is fine. There aren't a lot going on after dinner anyway." The old lady looked up at Mu Jungkook. She immediately put down her cellphone and stood up after she spotted Xu Lisa. "Oh mi, Lisa came with you huh?"

Xu Lisa bowed slightly and said in a low voice,
"Grandma, Aunty."

Mu Dara quickly pulled out the chair next to her.

"Have a seat. Have a seat. Have some fruits. These grapes are grown by us. They are large and sweet."

Mu Jiyong looked up and looked at the women who
were chitchatting in front of him gloomily. Then,
looking over at Mu Jungkook, he said, "What is it that you want to talk about in the middle of the night?"

"Don't worry. Let me start from the beginning." Mu Jungkook pulled out a chair and sat down next to Xu Lisa, placing his laptop on the table.

After the laptop was turned on, he worked on the
touch pad and pulled up a photo. Then, turning the
laptop around, he asked the old lady, "Do you still
remember this man?"

"Hmm? Who is he?" The old lady's eyes were not as
good as they were. She nudged Mu Dara with her
elbow. Mu Dara, getting her meaning, stood up and
went to get her bifocal lens from the living room.

The old lady placed her glasses over her nose
bridge with shaking hand and her face darkened
immediately when she saw the man on the laptop.

Xu Lisa didn't know what was going on and also
looked over at the laptop screen.

In the screen was a vicious-looking man with a long
scar over his face spanning from the right corner
of his eye all the way over to his left ear.

That was, indeed, a very horrifying look.

Xu Lisa didn't understand and looked over at Mu Jungkook.

Mu Jungkook merely raised his chin at Mu Dara and asked, "Aunty, do you still remember this man?"

Mu Data gave the old lady a look and chuckled dryly.

"It had been so many years already. Why are we
bringing him up again?"

Mu Jungkook set his laptop down neither too heavily
nor too lightly in front of Mu Jiyong and asked, "Do
you remember this man? You have spoken with him
before. I trust that you wouldn't have forgotten about
him, right?" His long and sender fingers drumming
rhythmically on the keyboard. "What was that you've said back then? 'My son is right next to me. Don't lie to me.' Right?"
