Chapter 1519: A Treasure
Zhao Yumo sat and listened to their conversation. After a while, she kicked Jiang Chenghuan in the shins and glared at him.
“Who on earth gloats at their predicament? You are talking about the one who is being schemed against and you forget she is my best friend and your sister. As her brother, how can you tease the Young Commander?”
After being reprimanded by Zhao Yumo, the smile on Jiang Chenghuan’s handsome face froze. He didn’t know how to ease this awkward situation.
Mu Feichi came to his rescue. “Since you’re in the mood to tease me, you can do something for me.” Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Chenghuan, saying in a low voice, “Go and release that guy. Tell him that as long as he can find out what I want, I will let him go. As long as he doesn’t offend me again, I will turn a blind eye to his past actions.”
“Do you mean Li Yan? How could you let that dangerous man go free? Aren’t you worried that something might happen again because of him?”
“Do you think a man who has fallen in love will cut off his own escape route? His weakness is something that we can use to our advantage. It depends on how you use this bargaining chip. Since those people dared to set up an ambush like that, they will definitely have a backup plan. Do you want to see the girl get injured again?”
Jiang Chenghuan deliberated for a moment and suddenly seemed to understand what Mu Feichi meant. He nodded and stood up. “I understand. I’ll do it right away.”
Only by taking drastic measures could this problem be completely resolved. As for the method and price they needed to pay in order to do this, it all depended on whether it was worth it.
Zhao Yumo was stunned. Just as she was about to go upstairs with Young Commander Mu to take a look at Yun Xi, Jiang Chenghuan pulled her away. Confused, she turned to look at him. “What are you doing?”
“Let’s go! Why are you still standing there?”
“Yun Xi is injured. I have to take care of her.”
“With the Young Commander around, it’s none of your business. Be good. Don’t become a third wheel. He doesn’t want you here.”
“…” Zhao Yumo glared at him and turned to look at Mu Feichi. “Young Commander, please let me know when Yun Xi wakes up. I’m really worried…”
Mu Feichi nodded and watched them leave the living room. Then he looked at Huo Tingxiao, who was still sitting on the couch. Huo Tingxiao looked as if he had something to say.
“After your car fell off the cliff last night, Eldest Heir followed behind you. You know, this Eldest Heir of the big four wealthiest families is not a simple person.”
Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows and gestured for him to continue.
“After your special forces team entered the forest, a group of well-equipped and trained soldiers quietly followed them into the forest. When they saw your people leave, only then did they take a detour and leave. None of the bodyguards I sent were able to follow them. There were more than a dozen of them, and they seemed to be well-trained special forces soldiers.
“I wouldn’t expect him to have such an elite team. They aren’t on my radar or under my control. How interesting…”
Mu Feichi laughed lightly, his sharp eyes cold as his thoughts churned.
He knew Chen Yichen’s background very well. It was not unusual for him to have bodyguards, but it would be very interesting if he had a team that Mu Feichi had never known existed, a team that was not under his control.
If they were mercenaries, he could turn a blind eye to them as long as they did not cross his bottom line.
But if they were not, then Chen Yichen’s objectives and intentions were worth investigating.
“Let’s solve our current problems first. After all, he saved her life. Chen Yichen wouldn’t harm the girl. We’ll talk about it later.”
Huo Tingxiao stood up and adjusted his coat. “The balance between the big four wealthiest families has been destroyed. Jiang Qilin from the Jiang family will stand up again soon, and the situation will change again. Your little sweetheart is indeed a treasure.”
Mu Feichi smiled, his eyes becoming thoughtful and gentle.
