Chapter 66: Cold as Ice

  "Excuse me, sir, who are you exactly? Let's talk this over. Meng Jun is my friend's daughter and she's going to work at my company, I don't know how she offended you." Qin Wanfen increasingly realized that this man was not simple, her two subordinates were lying on the ground like dead pigs. She spoke softly while thinking of a solution.

  "What kind of person is he? My daughter is mine, don't think about taking Meng Jun away from me!" Chen Lan Zhi only said to herself, completely unaware that Mu Xingchen's face had turned pale.

  It's this vicious woman, if it weren't for her, his daughter wouldn't have suffered so much. She's only just turned eighteen and has to bear such a heavy family burden. This woman has even colluded with a group of shady characters to bewitch Meng Jun like this! They must have some unspeakable ulterior motive. It's really unbearable, what can't be tolerated!

  "Crack!" After a shrill and crisp sound, Chen Lan Zhi's face had already swollen up like a steamed bun!

  "You... you... why did you hit me? I'm Meng Jun's mother, how dare you lay a hand on me?" Chen Lan Zhi still couldn't understand the situation and continued to shout loudly.

  "Hit you? Hitting you would be letting you off easy. If you ever dare to harbor even half a bad idea about Meng Jun in the future, I'll make sure you have no place to rest your bones!" Mu Xingchen's voice was abnormally cold, as cold as the icy frost of the ninth day of the lunar month, making people involuntarily shiver with fear.

  Chen Lan Zhi, unaware of her own mortality, wanted to make a last-ditch effort. She charged forward with a loud shout, but just as she took a step forward, Mu Xing Chen kicked her flying with one swift kick. She crashed heavily to the ground, and all that could be heard was a crisp "crack" sound, likely the snapping of her ribcage. In reality, Mu Xing Chen had held back some strength in his kick; otherwise, if he had used his full force, Chen Lan Zhi would not have survived.

  "Aiya!" Chen Lan Zhi let out a miserable cry and fainted.

  Qin Wanfen watched from the side, her eyes wide with fear, and her legs suddenly cramped up. As someone who had seen the world, she was thoroughly intimidated by this extremely handsome man. To know that Meng Jun's background was so powerful, she wouldn't dare to disobey him even if it cost her life.

  With a "thud", Qin Wanfen's knees softened and she knelt on the ground, her mouth still pleading: "Brother, I didn't recognize your worth, please don't take it to heart! Alas, I'm also struggling to make ends meet, just spare me this once! Whatever compensation you want, just name it! I'll do exactly as you say!" She spoke with such sincerity, almost kowtowing like a overturned garlic.

  Mu Xingchen looked at her coldly, if he didn't think this woman was really hateful, he wouldn't bother with her. What he wanted to do most now was to take her little girl to see a doctor carefully, and then put her by his side to protect her well, not letting any dangerous people or things get close to her again.

  "I don't need you to compensate me for anything!"

  "What? Big brother, are you telling the truth?" Qin Wanfen was a bit unbelieving of her own ears, she widened her eyes and asked.

  "I'll make sure you go to jail, for at least twenty years or more!" Mu Xingchen's red lips slightly parted, and amidst her infinitely perfect appearance, she uttered words that were enough to make Fen collapse.

  Good heavens! Twenty years! She's now thirty-six, after twenty years of suffering in prison, can she still enjoy life again? Twenty years, a full twenty years of hellish life, is worse than taking her life. "Don't! Absolutely don't! Big brother, please spare my life, I'll repay your great kindness for the rest of my life even if I have to be a cow or a horse!" Qin Wanfen immediately started kowtowing like a devout Buddhist.

  But no matter how hard she tried, Mu Xingchen didn't want to waste another minute on her. In his heart, he understood the purpose of these women, they brought Meng Jun, that beautiful girl, to that place of debauchery, simply to force her to do those things.

  The mere thought of many despicable men tarnishing Meng Jun's purity made him furious! He hated his own incompetence, why couldn't he even protect the woman he loved most. Thinking about it, he was also filled with regret, in just one short month since meeting her, he had already saved her from such a situation twice. If he had arrived half a step later this time, the consequences... the consequences were simply too horrific to contemplate.

  As he thought of this, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the back of his neck. The icy coldness was something he had never experienced before, not even when facing life-threatening danger. This made him feel strange, and it wasn't until many years later that he understood - it was because he had already met the woman he would spend his whole life wanting to hold in his hands and love with all his heart.

  "Sixth Master, those two little rascals have been taken care of." Chen Xinhù walked in and said respectfully, his eyes falling on the unconscious Chen Lan Zhi and Qin Wanfen who was still kowtowing, before turning to Mu Xingchen with an inquiring gaze.
