Chapter 457-458
Chapter 457: Christmas Eve
It was Christmas Eve and the middle of the night, so it was disconcerting to hear so much noise when they were out in the wilderness. She didn’t dare waste time thinking too much about it and quickly climbed into the back seat.
She pulled open a drawer that was in the back and pulled some lifesaving equipment out of it.
Listening to her identifying the objects she was handing over to him in the dark, Mu Feichi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Babe, I can tell what you handed over to me by its approximate weight and what it feels like in my hand.”
Realizing that her efforts were superfluous, Yun Xi couldn’t help but say, “Okay! Good for you!”
Yes, he was the ruler of the Mu family. If he didn’t have that kind of ability, then he wouldn’t be living up to his standards.
Unlike her, who was still a rookie.
LIstening to her rummaging through the drawer, he took off his cumbersome jacket and put on some self-defense equipment. Mu Feichi turned his head and glanced at her as he said, “You stay in the car! Do not come out!”
Fortunately, they’d driven out here in a big, sturdy vehicle. The glass in all the windows was unbreakable. As long as she stayed in the car, even if someone saw her through the window, they couldn’t get in and abduct her.
“Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m that cowardly?”
“No, but don’t come out anyway!” Obviously disagreeing with her following him and taking any risks, Mu Feichi turned and glared at her.
“What? Didn’t you yourself say that we’ll enjoy success together and suffer through hardships together as well?”
Regardless of whether he agreed or not, she grabbed two knives and jumped onto the passenger seat, where she sat with her guard up.
Mu Feichi glanced at her and caressed her head with a smile. His eyes, however, remained resolute and stubborn.
“With me here, we’ll only enjoy success together. I don’t need you to suffer hardships with me.”
“Stop talking nonsense. Leaving me in the car is dangerous as well, all right?”‘
She was lying when she said that it was dangerous in the car and that she was afraid. She simply didn’t want him to face any danger alone.
But during a crisis, saying such things simply sounded stubborn and willful.
Mu Feichi smiled and looked at her serious, stubborn expression. There was doting affection and tenderness in his eyes.
“Babe, are you that anxious to share adversities with me? Don’t worry, when you become my wife, you will have plenty of opportunities to share adversities with me.”
The car was getting closer and closer to the sound that they could hear in the dark, and, with the help of the dim car lights, she could vaguely see a flickering firelight somewhere in the distance.
Mu Feichi turned off the car lights and turned the steering wheel, driving the car into the weedy wasteland.
“Stay in the car obediently. I’ll go over and check out the situation.”
With that said, he locked the car. Not caring whether she agreed or not, he quickly rushed over to the grassland.
Watching his figure disappear into the night, Yun Xi suddenly became extremely nervous. She was afraid of dragging him down.
Unfastening her seat belt, she lay down on the front passenger seat and looked around.
After the car lights had turned off gradually her night vision had adapted to the darkness, and she could see that there were a lot of people over in the grassland. Five cars surrounded three other cars. There were no lights and not many shelters on the dirt lane. It was a location prone to car accidents.
Except for the wasteland that was overgrown with weeds, there were only clumps of branches left after the cotton was harvested.
She couldn’t see where Mu Feichi had gone and could only hear loud noises mixed with muffled Christmas Eve fireworks from the city in the distance.
There were ruffling sounds mixed with the loud noises echoing throughout the mountain. Upon hearing the sounds, she fumbled for the emergency GPS in the car and quickly pressed down on it.
The GPS in the car was directly connected to Tianyu Mountain’s security system, and soon Mu Feichi’s bodyguard would rush over.

Chapter 458: I’m Sure He Knows What He’s Doing
Unable to sit still a moment longer, she quietly pushed open the door to get out of the car.
In the dark, under the dim moonlight, she moved forward following the sounds.
Even if Mu Feichi had objected to her risking danger, she couldn’t turn a blind eye to him.
...
As he walked, by virtue of the low terrain, Mu Feichi could quickly distinguish two people who were in his field of vision.
He was about to move forward when a figure fell at his feet.
He squatted down and looked at the seriously injured man. His white shirt underneath his suit reflected some dim light in the dark night.
At the first glance, he had quickly discerned the identity of the man who had fallen at his feet. He was shocked and astonished.
“Third Young Master Chen! What are you doing out here?”
There had been a serious car accident, and Chen Ziqu had gotten gravely injured. In the dim night, through listening to his voice, he’d finally figured out who the man in front of him was.
“Young Marshal Mu?” Young Marshal Mu was here, so they were saved.
“It’s me! Mu Feichi!” Mu Feichi raised his eyes and looked at the bodyguards who were still guarding Chen Ziqu. They then reached out to help him up.
“Their target is you. Since your bodyguards are shielding you, leave with me now.”
Supporting Chen Ziqu, Mu Feichi led him slowly toward the car.
Soon, they ran into Yun Xi, who’d sneaked out of the car. The expression on Mu Feichi’s face immediately became ugly.
Lowering his voice, he frowned and glared at her as he growled, “Didn’t I tell you to stay in the car? What are you doing out here?”
There was undisguised anger in his voice. If it hadn’t been for the situation at hand, he really had the urge to spank that disobedient little rascal.
Yun Xi glanced at the person Mu Feichi was supporting, then whispered, “I can help him.”
Under the dim moonlight, she quickly discerned who it was and said in a somewhat shocked voice, “It’s Third Young Master Chen?”
How could that be? Why was he here?
Third Young Master Chen of the Chen family had had a car accident on Christmas Eve, and in such a place. If word spread, tomorrow Jingdu’s media would be reporting the matter everywhere.
“He’s injured. Help him into the car and stop the bleeding first. Use the GPS in the car to tell Qi Yuan and the others to rush over. Go!”
“How about you?”
“I’m going to go rescue the rest of them.”
There were many people who needed rescuing, and there were many other people who seemed to be up to no good.
If he didn’t deal with those people, they wouldn’t be able to pass on this road tonight anyway.
“You stay in the car! Don’t you dare get out!” Mu Feichi glared at her before turning around and rushing into the grassland again.
Yun Xi used a strenuous effort to help Chen Ziqu onto the back seat of the car and turned on the lights.
The black glass in the car windows kept a lot of light from escaping. Only now could she check out Chen Ziqu’s injuries.
Opening another drawer in the car, she quickly found the medicine cabinet. Then she examined Chen Ziqu, who seemed to have lost a lot of blood. She became anxious and worried.
The conditions in the car didn’t allow for surgery. All she could do now was to stop the bleeding and hope that he could hold on until Mu Feichi’s bodyguards got there.
“Please don’t fall asleep. I will stop the bleeding right now. The conditions here don’t allow for surgery. Your injury is very serious, so you have to go to the hospital for surgery. You must hold on.”
Chen Ziqu opened his eyes and looked at Yun Xi. A little worried about Mu Feichi, he said, “I can hold on. Girl, the other side has so many people, and Young Marshal Mu is almost alone...”
As Yun Xi stopped Chen Ziqu’s bleeding, she soothed him while also soothing herself, “Don’t worry about him. Since he has dared to take this risk, I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.”
“But the other party has a lot of people, and they’re all elites, and he’s all alone...”
“I’ve notified his bodyguards to come. They’ll be here soon!”
