Chapter 112: Thank You
After stepping out of the little grove, Mu Qingxi walked along the paths of the residential complex. After hearing Lao Hou out, she said, "Lao Hou, they want to come after me, so I want to prepare in advance. Of course, Wei Yu, Bai Fanhao, and Xi Haifei are all my friends, and I don't want them to come to any harm, so I need to use every strength I can, just in case."
Lao Hou gave a solemn reply.
Mu Qingxi went on, "And I keep feeling this matter is not that simple, so we have to be careful and not let Liu Jun and the others find out."
Lao Hou straightened and said in a deeper voice, "Little Mu, you must be careful. I'll have Second and Third secretly protect you. That way I can be at ease and handle things calmly. As for Qin Yu, I'll have a few brothers keep an eye on her, all of them trained hands. Don't worry."
Lao Hou's idea was sound. Better safe than sorry; if Liu Jun made his move quickly, things would turn ugly. Mu Qingxi did not refuse. "All right, let them follow her. Qin Yu is a smart woman too. Don't let her notice, and don't put pressure on her."
After they settled everything, Mu Qingxi felt a little more at ease. As long as Qin Yu was properly arranged for, she could rest easy. As for Bai Fanhao and Xi Haifei, after hearing Qin Yu speak like that today, they would certainly make their own arrangements; she did not need to worry.
When she reached her own front door, she let out a long breath to ease the unrest in her heart, then went inside.
"Sis, you're finally here! Hurry up, we have a guest at home!" The moment Mu Qingxi entered, her younger brother dragged her in before she even had time to change her shoes.
Seeing how anxious her brother was, Mu Qingxi was puzzled. She was very curious about what kind of person could make him this nervous.
By the time they reached the dining room, she saw a young man in a black cotton jacket seated at the table. Why did he look so familiar?
Just as she arrived at the doorway, the young man at the table stood up and turned to her. "Hello."
"You?" Mu Qingxi was stunned when she saw his true face.
"Yes, it's me. I came specially today to thank all of you." The young man spoke very politely.
It turned out that this young man was the one Wu Li had knocked unconscious that night, then had been dumped beside a trash bin by the fat young man called San'er. By chance, Shen Yali and Mu Qingyang, who had gone looking for Mu Qingxi, saw him there and called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.
He was saved only after emergency treatment. Had he not been brought in in time, something terrible would surely have happened.
Mu Qingxi smiled and said, "I didn't do much, so there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down; I'll go change my shoes."
At the doorway, while changing shoes, she asked her brother behind her, "Qingyang, didn't you say he was unconscious that night? How does he know we saved him?"
Mu Qingyang shook his head. "I don't know either. He said that although he couldn't open his eyes, he heard our voices, so he knew."
That was what he said, yet Mu Qingxi still felt something was off, as though something did not quite add up.
It seemed she would need to investigate this young man named Chen Yadong thoroughly. He appeared refined and well-mannered, but there was something deeply inscrutable about him. Thinking this, she took out her phone.
She found Lao Hou's number and sent a text message: Lao Hou, look into the young man named Chen Yadong.
Mu Qingyang watched her and asked curiously, "Sis, does that person have a problem? If so, I can ask him to leave."
She glanced toward the dining room. Chen Yadong, sitting inside, had also looked over in her direction. Mu Qingxi merely tugged at the corner of her mouth toward him, then turned away again.
"No need." Then Mu Qingxi looked at Mu Qingyang and said, "Qingyang, from now on, whether you have something to do or not, don't go running around outside at night, understand?"
Mu Qingyang looked at her in confusion, not understanding why she was saying such odd things. But what she said was true.
