Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Desperate Move

But even if he did nothing, just holding this warm body in his arms seemed to suddenly fill an emptiness within him.

During this time, he could see her defenses against him were gradually collapsing. Perhaps capturing her heart was only a matter of time.

Yet at the same time, it seemed he himself was sinking deeper, unable to extricate himself.

Her every move, every smile and frown, could tug at his heartstrings. For her, he even did things he once thought he would never do.

To compromise or humble himself before a woman, he thought such things would never happen to him, but if the one in question was her... it seemed like it wasn’t so unacceptable.

Yan Sijue tightened his embrace, feeling her softness, then involuntarily leaned closer to nibble on her delicate and adorable earlobe.

Mu Yiliang seemed to feel discomfort, struggled a bit, turned over, and snuggled closer to his chest.

Damn!

Yan Sijue’s eyes darkened again. This woman was even more uninhibited in her sleep, completely unaware of how provocative her actions were!

Though her teasing made him more uncomfortable, he could only grit his teeth and endure.

The most important thing was that her sleeping face was peaceful and sweet at this moment, and he couldn’t bear to disrupt her good dreams.

But he was curious if she would dream of him.

...

In the middle of the night,

Mu Yiliang suddenly woke up without warning.

She blinked, carefully moved Yan Sijue’s arm from her waist, and quietly sat up.

The man beside her was still sleeping deeply, unlikely to wake up anytime soon.

Mu Yiliang got out of bed, walked to the desk, and turned on Yan Sijue’s private computer.

Earlier tonight, before she had come, news from Xiao Qi and Jason reached her, with a picture of Robert unconscious.

So she couldn’t wait any longer.

Upon finding out the person’s identity, she became even more determined to act. Although she’d heard the name Nie Qing for the first time, after piecing together things from recent years, she found many matters had another hand behind them, clearly thanks to Nie Qing’s doing.

Even if Yan Sijue could directly confront him, though he might be able to severely damage the opponent’s forces, he would undoubtedly have to pay a high price himself—and she didn’t want to owe this man too much.

She could only take the risk this once.

Before she came tonight, she had taken some sleeping powder first. Given how Yan Sijue kissed her, it was hard for him not to get caught, while she herself, due to a past period of long-term sleeping pill use, had become immune, allowing her to wake at the right time.

If it were slipped into tea, with his alertness, he would probably notice immediately; perhaps, only when he kissed her would he drop his guard.

Without a doubt, her plan succeeded.

Mu Yiliang glanced back at the bed, seeing the man still asleep, then breathed a sigh of relief and focused her attention on the computer screen again.

All the information on the computer was layered with encryption, but none posed a significant challenge for her. She cracked it step by step and quickly found the data she wanted.

She took a deep breath, clicked and browsed rapidly, finally feeling relieved.

This was what she wanted.

She took out a memory card, copied a file, and then closed the computer.

Having done all this, she exhaled a long breath, realizing she was already sweating, and over an hour had passed.

Mu Yiliang quietly returned to the bedside, bent over, and planted a feather-light kiss on Yan Sijue’s lips, lingering her fingertip on his cheek for a long time.

He always looked so harmless when asleep, even... endearing.

Mu Yiliang didn’t know why she had such a bizarre thought. The word "endearing" seemed incongruent with Yan Sijue’s name, yet facing him like this, her heart softened uncontrollably.

If he knew what she was going to do, he would probably be furious again...

Mu Yiliang silently chuckled, tinged with bitterness.

She allowed herself no more attachments, turned, and left his room, taking advantage of the night to slip away.

Xiao Qi and Jason came to A City today, waiting for her at a certain residence, and Mu Yiliang went to meet up with them.

"Mu!" Xiao Qi looked at her expectantly, "Did you get it?"

Mu Yiliang nodded, her smile somewhat weak, "Got it."

Jason let out a long breath, knocked his forehead, then said, "Give it to me quickly, I’ll go to California immediately."

Xiao Qi explained to Mu Yiliang, "They took Robert to California and want us to deliver it personally!" then added to Jason, "I’ll go with you!"

"Forcing us to deliver personally... clearly, their target isn’t just this evidence." Jason sneered, "So I can go alone."

"I don’t feel comfortable with you going alone!" Xiao Qi frowned.

"Going with two is more likely to give them a chance to control us." Jason’s face turned somewhat grim.

"Stop arguing." Mu Yiliang sighed, "I’ll go."

"No!" Xiao Qi and Jason objected in unison!

"Either Xiao Qi or I could go, but not you!" Jason said coldly.

Xiao Qi was particularly adamant, "Mu, don’t forget you have Xiaoze."

Mu Yiliang smiled wryly, "I just think the chance of getting away is better if I go."

Xiao Qi scoffed, "Do you think you could handle better than me? You can’t even beat Jason!"

"It’s not about dealing physically." Mu Yiliang explained helplessly, "To think they can bring down Yan Family with just this data is too naive, so they must have other plans. Among us, obviously, I’m most familiar with Yan Family, if they make other demands, I can negotiate more easily."

"No, it’s still too dangerous!" Jason retorted with a frown, "Say no more, give me the stuff, you and Xiao Qi stay here."

"No way." Mu Yiliang was very firm, not intending to give the data to Jason.

Jason’s facial muscles twitched hard, then he angrily said, "Don’t be so stubborn at this time, okay? If something happens to you, what about Xiaoze?"

Mu Yiliang smiled, "Nothing will happen. I don’t think they’ll harm me, at most it’ll be the same situation as now."

Just remaining under their control.

Jason, irritated, punched the wall!

Xiao Qi hesitated, then said, "Didn’t you say you sought Yan Sijue’s help, he..."

Mu Yiliang chuckled, "If I hadn’t negotiated with him for so long, how could I have gotten such core evidence?"
