章 9: White Rich Beauty (9)
Yuhua Road, in a damp and dark alley.
A man was blocking the bloody hole in his torso that was shot by a gun with one hand, and the other was pressed against the wall as he gasped for air and tried to keep moving.
He didn't expect it! No, rather, he already expected Boss Hu to betray him, but he still gave him another chance anyway and hoped for him to change his mind. But what he didn't expect was that it wasn't just Boss Hu who betrayed him!
If Boss Hu was promoted by himself, then Wu Sha was the right-hand man left by his father, and he, Mu Chen, obviously trusted these two people from the start of his reign!
Knowing that Boss Hu might betray him that night, he had already ordered Wu Sha to send someone to protect him. But during the transaction, his protector never showed up! And Boss Hu couldn't possibly mobilize so many people, so there was only one possibility: that Wu Sha and Boss Hu worked together to rebel against him.
Mu Chen cursed under his breath as he felt that he could hardly hold on anymore. At that moment, he suddenly heard an extremely clear and sweet female voice that was gradually growing closer.
"Why is this alley so dark?" The voice complained. "Wasn't there a particularly famous desert shop here?" Mu Chen heard the clacking of heels with every step the girl took. "Why can't I find a single person?" The girl stopped in her steps and huffed, "Hmph, I'm so angry!"
Although the voice sounded angry, it still sounded soft and sweet, with a bit of kittenish coquettishness. To Mu Chen, it was comparable to cotton candy, with a hint of sweetness, not at all nauseating, and leaving one with a lot of aftertastes.
That's right, it was Yue Ran who came to the scene. She decided to come half an hour earlier to take away the female protagonist's savior role and to save the villain's life instead of Rui Qin!
"Ah!" Yue Ran gasped when she saw the tall, lean, yet muscular body of the villain, looking all weak and bloody. "Who are you...?"
Before Yue Ran finished speaking, Mu Chen couldn't hold his consciousness any longer and fell to the damp ground of the dark alley with a loud thud.
During the last moment before his consciousness fully dissipated, he heard the lovely little girl complaining softly. "Ah, was it that you came here to find the famous desert shop to eat sweet, delicious cake, but you unluckily got mugged and attacked instead?"
After confirming that Mu Chen had truly passed out, Yue Ran proceeded to call her driver to come over and move him inside the car.
She rolled her eyes inwardly, as if she were willing to do any thankless labor herself. Why would she drag the villain away like the female protagonist did because the female protagonist was afraid of being discovered by someone?
Yue Ran's beautiful and delicate body can't handle such rough work. She might break a nail too. What dangerous work!
Half an hour later, the female protagonist, Rui Qin, walked through this very same dark alley that was close to her block. She stared at a spot in the alley for a while, feeling that she had missed something important.

As the daughter of a wealthy family, owning several mansions under one's own name is a normal thing.
Yue Ran sent Mu Chen to one of the mansions she owned under her name, called the family doctor, and watched as the doctor took out the bullet for Mu Chen, patched up the wound, and left some medicine before he left.
When the family doctor was just about to step out of her mansion with a heart full of gossip, Yue Ran's sweet and smiling voice suddenly sounded in his ears, chilling him to the bones.
"Doctor Wen, if I hear any rumors about my affairs outside, you don't have to come here again in the future, understand?"
Dr. Wen was stunned for a moment and realized that the position of his employment would only need a word from this noble young lady of the Yue family. He quickly nodded and replied readily, "I understand, I understand!" and left in a hurry.
At this time, Yue Ran admired Mu Chen's gorgeous face and expressed two words straightforwardly and plainly to Mu Chen's unconscious self: "Very handsome."
☼︎ ✵ ☼︎
It was already the second night when Mu Chen regained his consciousness. Looking at the empty room, he stepped out of the quarters and into the hallway cautiously.
But to his surprise, after making a quick search in the entire vicinity, the whole mansion was indeed empty. There was only a cold dish that had long since cooled down on the table and a pink teddy bear post-it note beside it:
I don't need you to owe me the favor of saving your life. I've already asked someone to check on your wounds. Once it is cured, there is also medicine in the drawer of the bedside table in the room where you sleep, and you can take it with you when you leave. Also, never come back after you leave; don't blackmail me! I'm still just a beautiful, lovely teenager! PS: I have enough money for a lifetime for me not to cheat you! And don't come back! I'm serious!
"Hahaha…" Mu Chen laughed out loud, amused by what he read. He thought in his heart that the little girl was really adorable before she managed to find him in the alley.
Mu Chen looked around. This is her own private mansion, and she could even hire a private doctor to check up on him. None of the two indicated that she was born without money.
Currently, however, the most important thing for him to do is to safely return to the headquarters to punish those two traitors!
This life-saving grace can only be repaid in the future.

On a path in the shade of the woods, southeast of the university.
"Senior Jin Yao, I like you!" A girl held out a cute, pink letter with both hands stretched out. "Please accept my confession!"
Jin Yao looked at the pink love letter handed over by the girl in front of him and straightly and expressionlessly uttered the words he thought in his heart.
"I'm not interested in dating," he said robotically. "If you have time to write such a thing, it's better for you to write a 3,000-word self-criticism essay for your own self-improvement."
The girl with two cute ponytails on her head obviously didn't expect for Jin Yao to be this unkind, and her eyes instantly turned red.
"I... I see." The girl answered with a trembling voice and then quickly ran away. Faint crying could still be heard even after she was some distance away from her scene of shame.
Behind a big tree, Yue Ran watched the confession scene with interest. This was just like a scene out of a drama: the girl held out for love, but the boy had no intentions of doing so, and the girl could only run away in tears.
Yue Ran smiled. This is so interesting. This Jin Yao had never once asked her to write a "3000 word self-criticism essay" for "self-improvement." She would've thought that he was interested in her if not for his current favorability score for her; otherwise, why would he treat her so differently from others?
Well, so far, Yue Ran knew that Jin Yao wanted to stop the bees and butterflies attracted by his appearance, so he has to be decisive with others; otherwise, how could he treat girls like this? Or was this what he was usually like?
Yue Ran poked her head from behind the tree; seeing that there was no one in the vicinity, she walked out to reveal herself to Jin Yao.
"Jin Yao Yao, I saw it!" Yue Ran blatantly gave him a made-up nickname.
Jin Yao, who was about to leave, froze for a moment when he heard the familiar voice. He didn't want to talk to her, but he was afraid that if he didn't answer her, she would endlessly entangle herself with him.
Jin Yao's face still remained expressionless as he faced Yue Ran. "What did you see exactly?"
Yue Ran seemed to look very proud, as if she had won the lottery through sheer luck. "I saw someone confessing to you, so what does this mean?" She pointed to Jin Yao, then at herself. "It means that the Jin Yao Yao I have a crush on is really excellent!" She raised her chin to the sky. "But, Yao Yao, when are you going to accept my confession?" She looked back at Jin Yao and pouted. "If this continues, I'm afraid that you will be snatched away by others." Yue Ran's expression sank into a depressed state.
Jin Yao: ...What the hell is Yao Yao? However, the frowning look on this noble young lady's face is quite ugly to look at.
And so he said just that.
"Don't make that kind of expression; you look so ugly."
