Chapter 1015: Chapter 626: Ideas
The madman and his companions originally planned to leave, but the sudden appearance of Mu Xiaoqian, with her arrogant demeanor and cold expression, made him pause instinctively.
When Mu Xiaoqian approached Liu Hun, clinging onto his arm with a delicate demeanor, the madman was momentarily stunned.
He had seen many beautiful women and been with many, but it was the first time he saw a girl as aloof and cold as Mu Xiaoqian, resembling a sacred fairy, untouchable.
Yet, in front of Liu Hun, she behaved like a charming jade from the Bi Family, surprising everyone with her unexpected demeanor.
"Who is this girl?" the madman murmured softly, looking into the scene with a hint of curiosity.
Although he held some disdain for Liu Hun, it didn’t mean the madman had no interest in Mu Xiaoqian. Even though Mu Xiaoqian and Liu Hun were a couple, in the madman’s eyes, there had never been a woman he couldn’t conquer.
"Mu... Miss Mu..." Wang Fu looked at Mu Xiaoqian in front of him, with an expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
He initially thought that after the madman and his men left, Liu Hun and his companions would be like dough, moldable at his will.
But now, Mu Xiaoqian had suddenly appeared, and she publicly acknowledged Liu Hun as her boyfriend, which was astonishing.
Even though the Mu Family had suffered some losses recently, Mu Xiaoqian’s father was still the City Lord of the City of Death and undoubtedly the head of the leading family.
This kind of power was not something the Wang Family could provoke.
"You have some nerve, Family Head Wang, daring to bully my boyfriend. But today, I want to see what you will do to him!" Mu Xiaoqian turned around and coldly chastised Wang Fu after hearing Liu Hun’s words.
"Mu... Miss Mu, it was Liu Hun who first killed my son Wang Cheng, and now I’m just trying to get justice. Or is it that just because he’s your boyfriend, the Mu Family can shield a murderer?" Wang Fu, although looking extremely unpleasant, also knew that the Wang Family was already on the verge of action and could not back down.
If he made no move next, leaving just like that, it would not only disrespect his deceased son but also invite ridicule upon the entire Wang Family.
"Do you have any evidence?" Mu Xiaoqian repeated the same words Liu Hun had previously spoken. If only Liu Hun said it, Wang Fu might not care, but Mu Xiaoqian saying it forces him to take it seriously.
Faced with Wang Fu’s moment of speechlessness, Mu Xiaoqian’s beautiful eyes carried a trace of contempt as she said, "Without evidence, how can you blame this matter on my boyfriend? And speaking of murderers, do you believe I can immediately produce evidence of you killing others? Wouldn’t you then deserve punishment and death as well?"
Facing Mu Xiaoqian’s aggressive behavior, Wang Fu’s face turned somewhat livid, seething with anger in his eyes, yet he had to endure it.
"Is Miss Mu determined to protect Liu Hun today? And don’t forget the agreement between the City of Death and the secular world, which forbids involvement in earthly matters!" Wang Fu took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and firmly stared at Liu Hun and Mu Xiaoqian.
"What a big joke. Do I, Mu Xiaoqian, need your permission to find a boyfriend? Besides, I’m merely helping my boyfriend, without taking any standpoint; so where does the claim of the Wang Family come from?" Mu Xiaoqian said, pausing for a moment.
Then, with a hint of disdain in her eyes, she continued, "Yet Family Head Wang has been very close with some people in the secular world over the years. Doesn’t this violate the original agreement?"
"You!" Wang Fu was rendered speechless by Mu Xiaoqian’s words.
Many people understood this matter, but they never spoke out. Yet when Mu Xiaoqian revealed it publicly, insisting any further would likely cause more trouble for the Wang Family.
"Liu Hun, I, Wang Fu, will not let this matter go. You had better watch your back in the future!" Wang Fu, with a grim face, said, attempting to leave with the others.
Meanwhile, not far away, the madman’s eyes slightly furrowed as he murmured, "Mu Xiaoqian... wait, could she be the eldest daughter of the Mu Family in the City of Death?"
Thinking about this, the madman’s face was filled with disbelief. Just moments ago, he had plans for Mu Xiaoqian, but such thoughts vanished instantly.
His eyes remained fixed on the calm young man not far away.
"Who are you, that even the eldest daughter of the Mu Family is willing to be your woman and protect you so fiercely? Is this the reason the boss follows him?" The madman thought, yet no one was there to answer him.
Once some things are missed, neither Liu Hun nor the Old Ghost will look back; in this regard, their personalities were somewhat similar.
"Wait a second!" Just as Wang Fu and the others were about to leave, a voice came from behind again, neither too soft nor too loud, from Liu Hun.
But as soon as this voice sounded, it made Wang Fu’s body tremble slightly.
Then he turned around and stared fiercely at Liu Hun, "Kid, don’t go too far. Our Wang Family is not made of mud."
"What we, the Dragon Sect, want to do, no one can stop. Since that big drug lord infiltrated your Wang Family in the past, we now demand a thorough investigation of your Wang Family; I don’t think the Wang Family Head would refuse this, right?" Liu Hun’s mouth curled into a slight smile as he looked at Wang Fu with interest and said.
Although he resolved this crisis with the help of a woman this time, Liu Hun was not at all displeased because Mu Xiaoqian’s appearance was obviously at Mu Yunbo’s behest. In this way, Mu Yunbo was indirectly sending a message of goodwill, and this was entirely something Liu Hun had achieved through his own efforts.
"Don’t go too far!" Wang Fu’s eyes had traces of blood, and he seemed to be on the verge of an outburst.
"The reason for our existence in the Dragon Sect is to protect everyone. Now that a big drug lord has escaped into your Wang Family, our demand for a thorough investigation is reasonable and justifiable, unless the Wang Family head and this drug lord have certain relations, or you’re in cahoots. Otherwise, why can’t you let our people investigate openly?" Liu Hun stepped forward slowly, looking at Wang Fu and continued saying.
"Liu Hun, don’t slander us!" Wang Fu looked at Liu Hun, who was within arm’s reach, and though he dearly wanted to slap him to death, he couldn’t be sure he could do it, and then they’d have to face the wrath of the Mu Family, which would clearly be a losing proposition.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Fu finally spoke coldly to Liu Hun, "Liu Hun, I can allow you to investigate, but if you don’t find the person, what will you say then?"
"If we don’t find the person, then I can apologize to the Wang Family Head in public; after all, we are serving everyone, so I don’t feel that I’ve done anything wrong." Liu Hun replied casually to Wang Fu.
Even though Wang Fu was extremely dissatisfied with this result, he was also well aware that with the Mu Family backing him, he really couldn’t do anything to Liu Hun.
If Liu Hun could actually apologize publicly, perhaps the matter could be salvaged a bit; otherwise, their Wang Family would truly lose face.
"Let’s go!" Wang Fu shot a cold glance at Liu Hun and then led the group back towards their home.
Just as Wang Fu left, a lunatic sitting in a nearby car, after eyeing Liu Hun, hesitated a bit before getting out of the car. He walked over to Liu Hun and Lao Gui, smiled, and spoke, "Boss, about what happened just now, don’t be mad. The guys didn’t know better, right? If we had known Liu Hun was this formidable, we definitely wouldn’t have left."
When the lunatic said this, he still didn’t look directly at Liu Hun, his gaze always on Lao Gui, feeling that as long as Lao Gui agreed, Liu Hun would too.
But this time, he was wrong, and very wrong indeed.
"I, Liu Hun, may not be a big shot, but I don’t need people who only want to enjoy the good life with me and don’t understand hardship, and we’re not even on the same boat. Even if you follow me in the future, neither of us would be comfortable. So from now on, let’s go our separate ways." Seeing Lao Gui looking towards him, Liu Hun spoke softly.
Hearing Liu Hun’s words, the lunatic’s expression changed slightly. After so many years, it was the first time he admitted being wrong to someone, and with his status, bringing the whole gang to join Liu Hun should have been a great thing for Liu Hun, but to his surprise, Liu Hun refused so decisively.
"What are you standing there for? Didn’t you hear what my boss said?" Lao Gui, seeing the lunatic still standing there, spoke in a somewhat unfamiliar tone.
Looking at the expressions of Lao Gui and Liu Hun, the lunatic squinted his eyes slightly, gave them a deep look, then turned around and left without a word, taking his group away.
"Liu Hun, those guys seemed pretty capable, why didn’t you keep them around to help you?" After the lunatic and his group left, Mu Xiaoqian questioned Liu Hun with a trace of doubt.
Having a clear understanding of Liu Hun’s current situation from her father, Mu Xiaoqian was well-aware that Liu Hun needed manpower.
If it were her, facing the lunatic and his group, she definitely wouldn’t refuse; however, Liu Hun had refused so decisively just now.
"Different paths lead to different goals. If we forcefully stay together, it might breed more trouble down the line, and that’s not the result I want. Although I was weak before, now that I have such a capable girlfriend, it seems I don’t need to worry too much." After saying this, Liu Hun’s lips curled slightly, looking at Mu Xiaoqian with a mischievous smile in his eyes.
Feeling the incredulous gazes around her, Mu Xiaoqian blushed slightly, gave Liu Hun a reproachful look, but still softly reminded him, "Regarding your matters, my father won’t intervene much, since it’s a rule in our City of Death, so..."
"So from now on, I still need to rely on myself, right? I knew it, my cheap Yue Fei isn’t that kind-hearted; sigh." Liu Hun sighed, shook his head, and said with a bit of lament.
"You should be satisfied, many people can’t even get this opportunity; you’re getting a bargain and acting spoiled. Alright, you should go and handle the Wang Family matters, I must go back and inform my father of this situation, they won’t act against you, you can rest assured." Mu Xiaoqian stopped teasing Liu Hun, for as a girl, she naturally was on the weak side in this aspect.
