CHAPTER 51

Chapter 51: Dreamy Vacation Villa

Yu Mu Sheng glanced at his phone and answered the call, "Big Brother, is there something you need?"

Yu Zhao's voice came through the phone with some distortion, but his distinctive aura was still perceptible—calm and self-contained, as deep as an abyss, carrying an undeniable sense of authority.

"You only need to do a cursory check; this matter doesn't require too much effort."

Perhaps that wasn't his intended meaning, but in this context, it naturally came across to Yu Mu Sheng as a lack of confidence in his abilities.

The young man on the other end of the line fell silent, not responding immediately.

Yu Zhao could hear his steady, faint breathing.

The task of investigating the villa's occupants was actually something Yu Mu Sheng had volunteered for. When the proposal for this calming solution was made, there was just one position left unfilled. Of course, Yu Zhao wouldn't do such a thing, and Yu Yangxu lacked the patience for it.

Before the housekeeper, who usually handled such incidents, could take charge, Yu Mu Sheng had offered to take responsibility.

"I... can I do it? I don't have much going on recently and can do a little something for the family."

Given the young man's recent situation, Yu Zhao's initial reaction was, of course, to refuse. But seeing Yu Mu Sheng's overly cautious demeanor, Yu Zhao's and Yu Yangxu's objections were caught in their throats.

As if anticipating rejection, Yu Mu Sheng lowered his head, looking at his intertwined, slender fingers, not wanting others to see his discomfort.

He was already accustomed to this—just like how he would consistently offer to do something, whether subtly or directly, his family would always oppose or ignore his requests.

The reasons were quite reasonable: Yu Mu Sheng did lack the capability and decisiveness, and such traits made it difficult for him to accomplish things in the swift and decisive Yu family's eyes, especially when dealing with matters beyond his abilities.

However, this time Yu Zhao furrowed his brows, unusually hesitating to make a quick decision.

The man suddenly realized that the young man's excessively reserved nature and their distant relationship had been established through repeated rejections.

This time, the little snail cautiously extended its probing antennae, sensing that there had been some change in the external environment, and it slowly emerged from its shell, seeking a bit of reassurance.

But the situation at the vacation villa was indeed too complicated.

Since Yu Mu Sheng had actively offered to take responsibility, he had become somewhat anxious. He was uncomfortable with the concentrated attention of everyone on him, and it seemed like they were all silent, contemplating how to reject him.

The young man stood up, his thin frame seeming to waver slightly. "I... I'll go up first."

The usually methodical Yu Zhao was overwhelmed by an inexplicable emotional factor at that moment and said:

"Alright."

But Yu Zhao soon regretted it, fully aware that Yu Mu Sheng was just an ordinary NPC.

Thus, this call was made.

Yu Zhao wanted the young man to gauge his own abilities and even retreat if necessary. But it seemed to have the opposite effect.

Yu Mu Sheng lowered his gaze, tightened his grip on the phone, and mustered the courage to reply, "If the person responsible for this were Yu Yangxu, would you say the same?"
