Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue blankly.

Although she didnt want to admit it, seeing him did ease her racing and restless heart.

If Mu Sijue did had not gone there, she would have been unable to get out of that trouble alone that day.

Seventh Brother Wang Yis voice could not stop trembling. Sorry, I, I didnt know that she was Miss Xu.

Wang Yis people were also scared out of their wits.

They had been working for Uncle Yang, so they usually wouldnt get in touch Mu Sijues people. Plus, Xu Youning had only been working under Mu Sijue for a short time. They had never seen her except for hearing some of her stories, and they even took that young but extremely capable woman as their role model.

Just then, however, not only did they make a move on their idol, but also alerted Mu Sijue.

This doesnt look good!

Seventh Brother, Im sorry! They bowed in despair and apologized.

Mu Sijue didnt even look at them. He went straight over and looked at Xu Youning. He frowned slightly and looked at Wang Yi. Who did this?

Wang Yi gritted his teeth and said, It was all my idea! They just listened to me! He would surely not end well. Still, he would rather take all the blame than make his team share the responsibilities with him.

Of course, Mu Sijue was aware that it was a lie out of brotherhood, but he didnt want to ask further. He changed the subject, Yesterday morning, why were you in Xus house?

This I Wang Yi hesitated and didnt know whether he should give away Yang Shanshan or not.

I want the truth. Mu Sijue warned Wang Yi lightly, If you lie again, this will be your last time to say anything ever again.

Mu Sijue did what he said. He never joked, even when he was threatening someone.

After all, Wang Yi was afraid of death. With his eyes closed, he said, It was Miss Shanshan who asked us to go there. Miss Shanshan said a girl from the Xus had offended her and asked us to go over to teach her a lesson.

Mu Sijues eyes darkened. He said, You hurt an old person when you didnt find the person Yang Shanshan had asked for?

We, we Wang Yi was struggling. He replied, It was also Miss Shanshans idea. She said that if we couldnt find that girl, doing something to her family could also send the message.

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes. No one could clearly see how he did it. They only saw him kicking Wang Yi with his slender leg like a gust of wind. The power was so strong that Wang Yi couldnt take it. He retreated a few steps and hit the wall.

Crack The sound of something breaking could be heard.

The unimaginable pain and agony were written all over him, but Wang Yi couldnt say a word.

Ive given you a lesson on behalf of Uncle Yang, Mu Sijue stared coldly at Wang Yi and said, Should anything like this happen again no more words need to be said. You wont be able to walk out the door with your legs.

Wang Yi covered his aching chest and nodded. Seventh Brother, I know I was wrong. I should have never hurt the old man. I promise this will not happen again!

As was known to all, Mu Sijue was very respectful to the old men who had started the business with his grandfather. Wang Yi had dared to take all the responsibility because he knew that Mu Sijue would forgive him for Mr. Yeungs sake.

But it turned out that he was naive. He wouldnt care about the others if anyone offended him.

Mu Sijue left Wang Yi alone. He turned to Ah Guang and told him, Look into the whole thing, including every single detail in the bar. You know what to do. Then, he looked back at Xu Youning. You, come with me.

Xu Youning was obedient as never before and followed behind Mu Sijue.

In the bar, only Ah Guang and Wang Yi were left.

At that time, Wang Yi could only count on that little friendship he had with Ah Guang. He said desperately, Ah Guang, I really need your help this time.

But I really cant help you this time. Ah Guang sighed. Wang Yi, you really crossed the line. Not only did you hurt an innocent old man, but you also hurt Sister Youning.

That woman means that much to Seventh Brother? One of Wang Yis people asked incredulously.

Ah Guang pointed to Wang Yi, who was covering his wound, looking pained in the process. I think this is quite self-explanatory. You all should be glad that I made it on time. If you guys had really hurt Sister Youning, you would have died millions of times.

Wang Yis people finally got it and looked at him with sympathy. But they couldnt do anything about it.

Ah Guang, Wang Yi asked in pain, What do you think I should do this time?

Ah Guang looked at the gauze wrapped on Wang Yis head and said, First, go to the hospital and have the wound treated. Tell me what happened at the bar tomorrow and do whatever you need to do. You know Seventh Brothers rules.

Wang Yi opened his mouth, trying to say something to plead for mercy; Ah Guang raised his hand to stop him. Seventh Brother likes the dishes made by Sister Younings grandmother very much. Its fortunate that her grandmother wasnt hurt. Or else, it would have been your doom.

Everyone knew that Mu Sijue was picky about food.

However, he liked to eat the food made by Xu Younings grandmother. The importance of that old lady for Mu Sijue was obvious. Wang Yi had no choice but to face the truth. He nodded and had his people send him to the hospital.

At the time, Xu Youning had already followed Mu Sijue out of the bar.

After thinking for a while, Xu Youning said to Mu Sijue, Thank you.

Mu Sijue turned back to look at Xu Youning, and there was no sign of concern in his tone. Did they hurt you?

Xu Youning touched her head.

She had been caught off guard when the sharp pain was swept over. For a few seconds, she even thought that she was going to die.

But to think of it, the pain was more likely an illusion to her.

She shook her head. Ive let you down. Im fine. After a pause, she sounded certain as she added, But, I wont let Wang Yi go so easily.

Mu Sijue said in a low voice, I will deal with it for you.

This is my business, Xu Youning said with resistance, Dont intervene.

Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes slightly. You dont believe me?

No, I believe in you. Xu Youning pursed her lips. But this cant serve as a good reason for you to get involved in my business.

Mu Sijues style was crystal clear to her. Even if Wang Yi and his people had hurt an ordinary old man that day, Mu Sijue would not let it go.

He was the only man who could do whatever he wanted, in that city.

She believed that if Mu Sijue dealt with the matter, Wang Yi would be punished squarely.

Nonetheless, she would encounter a lot of things in the future. It would be impossible for Mu Sijue to handle every single thing for her.

Therefore, she didnt want be too dependent.

Mu Sijue couldnt see through Xu Younings thoughts at all. He frowned and thought, Why cant I handle Xu Younings things?

With an intent to probe, Mu Sijue said, Dont go to Shanshan, I will go talk to her.

Xu Youning was stunned for a moment; her heart was sinking ceaselessly. After a moment, she reacted, Oh.

That was unexpected. Mu Sijue frowned harder. Youre okay with it?

This is your decision. I kinda have to be okay with it. Xu Youning smiled stiffly. Yang Shanshan and you have been close since you were little. And Mr. Yang and you are as close as father and son. I am not dumb. I wouldnt go to Yang Shanshan and cross the boundary.

Xu Youning didnt say the remaining half of her sentencethat didnt mean that she looked past on that. One day, she would make Yang Shanshan pay for what she did and double it!

Mu Sijues chest rose and fell slightly.

Xu Youning being so obedient didnt make him any happier. His anger was triggered by her indifference.

Shouldnt she be mad when he shielded Yang Shanshan?

Mu Sijue just realized that he was expecting Xu Youning to be jealous.

Thinking about that, Mu Sijue opened the car door gloomily. Ill send you back! It was hard to tell whether he sounded stiff or reluctant.

After running around for half of the night, Xu Youning was exhausted. She got into the passenger seat and closed her eyes after fastening the seat belt, with her head tilted, leaning against the window.

Starting the car, Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and unconsciously slowed down the speed.

After returning from Mexico, Xu Youning had changed slightly. She occasionally rebelled, but she listened to him most of the time. He knew very well that it was because of what had happened between them.

It was just a matter of time for Xu Youning to leave him. He shouldnt be as concerned over it, but he couldnt help it.

After a while, a long breath was heard from the passenger seat. Xu Youning must have been sleeping very deeply. Mu Sijue suddenly had a selfish thought: he hoped the road back to the Xus home would never end.

Because only when Xu Youning fell asleep would she forget everything, including the person she really liked, and just stay quietly and wholeheartedly with him.

He was far greedier than he had imagined when it came to Xu Youning.

But reality was in front of himthe arrival of Xu Younings home.

Mu Sijue stopped the car. He stared at Xu Younings face for a long time, then he finally woke her up.

Xu Youning was sleeping soundly. When she was awakened, she was annoyed. But when she saw Mu Sijues face, the anger immediately subsided. Then she looked out of the car and realized they had arrived.

Thank you, Seventh Brother.

She thanked Mu Sijue vaguely, and stumbled out of the car. She had no idea how she entered the house and got into her bed.

Of course, she didnt know that Mu Sijues car had been parked outside her house for a long time before leaving.

The night was dark. Xu Youning slept very deeply. No one knew what flashed through his mind in the more than half an hour when Mu Sijue stayed there

The next day.

Worried about her grandmothers condition, Xu Youning woke up very early. After taking a shower and having breakfast, she was about to go to the hospital when her cell phone on the table rang.

When the phone call was connected, Mu Sijues voice pierced through. Come to the hospital.

What hospital? Xu Youning didnt realize what happened for a moment. Whats wrong?

Im talking about the hospital your grandmother stays in.

After that, Mu Sijue hung up the phone. Xu Youning finally recovered from the shock, grabbed the phone and rushed out the door.

Mu Sijue said come, which meant that he was at the hospital!

Shit. What is he doing in the hospital? Dont tell me that Yang Shanshan is there!

It turned out that Xu Youning was too naive
