Chương 17: Chapter 17 The First Dependency
Mo Nanze gently knocked on the bedroom door and said steadily, "Yinfeng, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid anymore."
Soon after, the sound of the door lock clicking open was heard, and Mo Nanze opened the door and walked in.
Lu Yinfeng was crouched in the corner like a frightened kitten, and upon seeing Mo Nanze, she began to cry pitifully.
She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't help it.
The suppressed tension and grievance she had been holding back were finally able to be released without reservation the moment she saw Mo Nanze.
Mo Nanze walked over and carefully examined Lu Yinfeng's injuries.
Her left cheek was swollen, there were strangulation marks on her neck, and there were abrasions on her legs.
Mo Nanze's eyes narrowed as he virtually replayed the scene of Mo Qianyan's brutal treatment of Lu Yinfeng in his mind.
Lu Yinfeng wasn't exaggerating, Mo Qianyan truly almost killed her.
"Little Uncle..." Lu Yinfeng threw herself into Mo Nanze's arms and began to sob uncontrollably.
Lu Yinfeng had also grown up cherished, never having suffered such grievances or encountered such people before.
She regretted deeply why she had ever gotten involved with Mo Qianyan.
If she could do it all over again, she would rather never meet Mo Qianyan.
Lu Yinfeng's body was trembling, and Mo Nanze stretched out his arms to embrace her, gently kissing her hair as he felt a pang in his heart.
The person he valued so much had been treated so brutally by Mo Qianyan.
Mo Nanze's last thread of precarious kinship to Mo Qianyan was also severed.
After crying her heart out in Mo Nanze's arms, Lu Yinfeng felt a lot better.
She lifted her head and saw the wet patch on Mo Nanze's chest, apologizing with a bit of embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Little Uncle, I've made you dirty."
Mo Nanze didn't mind, and he helped Lu Yinfeng to sit on the edge of the bed, softly comforting, "Don't move, I'll go get the medical kit."
Lu Yinfeng, however, grabbed his hand, revealing a timid expression.
"Little Uncle, I'm scared, I'll go with you."
She didn't know that the madman Mo Qianyan had been locked away and was afraid that he might appear from nowhere while Mo Nanze was out of the room.
Mo Nanze blinked, touched by her dependence on him.
This was the first time Lu Yinfeng had shown such reliance on him, and he was somewhat reluctant to leave her side.
Fortunately, Wu Houbao had prepared the medical kit in advance and handed it over just in time.
Mo Nanze took the medical kit and looked at Lu Yinfeng with a warm smile.
"Lie down on the bed," Mo Nanze directed.
Lu Yinfeng's cheeks suddenly reddened, but under Mo Nanze's very serious gaze, she slowly turned over and lay prone on the bed, burying her face deeply into the soft pillow.
Mo Nanze was struck again by the sight of the shocking streaks of blood on Lu Yinfeng's calves and thighs.
Lu Yinfeng's legs were white, slender, and long; these crimson marks were far too glaring.
He sat by the bed, suppressing the urge to beat up Mo Qianyan, and treated Lu Yinfeng's wounds with meticulous gentleness.
First, disinfecting with alcohol.
The sting from the alcohol made Lu Yinfeng take quick, sharp breaths. She gritted her teeth and bore it but couldn't help but bend her knees to avoid it.
"Be good, don't move around."
With one hand, Mo Nanze caught hold of Lu Yinfeng's slender ankles and pinned them to the bed.
Lu Yinfeng knew Mo Nanze was doing this for her benefit, so she tried even harder to endure the stinging sensation from the alcohol.
He held down Lu Yinfeng's feet with one hand while applying medicine with the other.
Mo Nanze's movements were gentle, like a soft breeze passing by.
Lu Yinfeng even found herself enjoying the tingling sensation as Mo Nanze's hand brushed against her skin.
In the past, Lu Yinfeng would never have dared to imagine that the cold Mo Nanze could have such a gentle side.
However, she had never expected that Mo Qianyan would be so cruel and heartless, so insane.
Soon, Mo Nanze had finished treating the wound on Lu Yinfeng's leg.
Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep and wouldn't leave a scar after healing.
"It's done," Mo Nanze said.
Lu Yinfeng immediately flipped over and sat up, looking eagerly at Mo Nanze, before awkwardly uttering a word of thanks.
For some reason, Lu Yinfeng always found herself unconsciously going against her own decisions.
She had clearly told herself during restless nights that she should gradually distance herself from Mo Nanze and extricate herself from this absurd game.
But when she actually faced a situation, Lu Yinfeng couldn't think of anyone else but Mo Nanze.
Mo Nanze's shirt was somewhat disheveled, with a button popped off his chest and the hem untidy—a result of the skirmish with Mo Qianyan.
A layer of coldness tinted his exquisite features, his eyes narrowed slightly, making it impossible to discern the focus of his gaze.
He noticed Lu Yinfeng's deliberate attempt to avoid eye contact and unconsciously tightened his lips.
"Did President Li from Sea Light Group visit today?" Mo Nanze asked casually as he straightened his clothes.
Lu Yinfeng looked up and saw his slender, attractive fingers flickering across his waist, and for a moment, she was mesmerized.
Mo Nanze was already handsome by nature, and after today's events, he loomed even larger in Lu Yinfeng's heart.
Having not received a response from Lu Yinfeng for a long time, Mo Nanze raised an eyebrow and saw that she was staring at him in a daze.
Her blank gaze had a flavor all its own.
Mo Nanze swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing, and he hurriedly looked away.
"Ahem, ahem."
The two coughs from Mo Nanze finally snapped Lu Yinfeng back to reality.
"Yes!" Lu Yinfeng realized and quickly responded, "Today Li Haiguang came, wanting to buy this house to convert it into a club. So, I told Li Haiguang that Mo Qianyan was deceiving him. Mo Qianyan got angry, and that's why..."
Recalling the recent events, Lu Yinfeng still felt the aftereffects.
Mo Nanze then said, "Sea Light Group basically has a monopoly on all entertainment venues in Mochuan City, be it legal, illegal, or in a gray area. Li Haiguang, on the surface, is very mild-mannered, but in reality, his methods are ruthless. It's best not to conflict with him."
Hearing Mo Nanze's words, Lu Yinfeng couldn't help but gasp.
Today, she had been full of resentment and did not hide her anger when she saw Li Haiguang, speaking fiercely to him.
What if... he held a grudge?
"Little Uncle, but didn't I hear Li Xinzhang say that his father warned him not to provoke Mo family members? Doesn't that mean he also fears the Mo Family?"
Mo Nanze gave her a faint glance and said, "Then you should listen to Li Xinzhang."
Lu Yinfeng remembered what Mo Nanze had said the day before about jealousy and instantly blushed to the tips of her ears.
She quickly waved her hands and said, "Never mind that, that blue-haired guy doesn't seem very reliable, of course, he can't compare to Lawyer Mo!"
The sudden compliment from Lu Yinfeng was quite pleasing to Mo Nanze.
His mouth curved slightly, and he reached out to ruffle Lu Yinfeng's hair.
"Let's go back," Mo Nanze said. "I'll handle the matter with Li Haiguang. As for Mo Qianyan..."
Mo Nanze stopped speaking, and Lu Yinfeng didn't ask any further.
