Chapter 465-466

Chapter 465: Young Marshal Mu Who Did the Saving 　 Despite seeing Yun Xi’s confused expression, Li Zilan mischievously continued to tease her. “Actually, you should ask the Young Marshal to teach you close-quarters combat and marksmanship. He is the best in the military. Even the instructor who taught him back in the day can’t beat him any longer. You should only learn from the best in order to achieve your full potential.” Yun Xi glanced at Mu Feichi and sighed helplessly. “Do you think he will do it?” Li Zilan thought about this for a while. Because of his protectiveness toward Yun Xi, it might be better for her to be the teacher instead of him. Li Zilan smiled. “It doesn’t matter if he isn’t willing to lay hands on you as long as his mouth is willing to.” Yun Xi blushed and threw Li Zilan an annoyed look. She reflexively looked at Mu Feichi, and, sure enough, he was smirking mischievously also. “Instructor Zilan, can you please be more serious? We’re talking about important business.” “Fine. I’ll teach you how to shoot. As for close-quarters combat...” Upon the mention of this, Li Zilan purposely glanced at Mu Feichi and asked him for instructions. “Young Marshal, my fists and feet don’t have eyes, so if I accidentally hurt her, wouldn’t you feel bad?” “What do you mean?” Mu Feichi’s eyes coldly shot daggers at her. “Fine. You will teach her close-quarters combat yourself.” From his expression, Li Zilan knew that he definitely wouldn’t pass up on such a good opportunity to play the rogue. Turning her head, Li Zilan glanced at Yun Xi, but she didn’t expose Young Marshal Mu’s nefarious intentions. “You will have your final exams soon. I heard that after that you go to winter camp. Before the start of winter camp, you have to come up the mountain every day. I will teach you starting with the basics. If you want to learn how to shoot, you have to start with the basics. To learn things, you have to learn both arm strength, observation skills, and precision measurements. Otherwise, you won’t even be able to carry a sniper rifle, so what would there be to learn?” Yun Xi nodded. “Okay, I get it.” The butler hung up the phone and walked over. He glanced at his Young Master and Yun Xi, then said, “Young Master, the Chen family’s people want to see you and Miss Yun.” “No!” Mu Feichi refused directly without any hesitation. He had the power to be willful. Yun Xi turned her head, glanced at him, and said meekly, “Let’s go just to check-up. I also want to know the condition of General Chen’s injuries.” Mu Feichi narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted with an arrogant expression on his face. “Do you want to see General Chen or Chen Yichen?” Everyone in the living room could sense his bitter jealousy. Yun Xi completely ignored his unreasonable tantrum. “If the Young Marshal doesn’t want to see them, then I’ll go there by myself.” Mu Feichi’s face sank, and he commanded the butler coldly, “Prepare a car.” “...” Li Zilan and Qi Yuan glanced at each other and smiled in tandem. He’d gotten his face slapped so quickly. So what if he was a Young Marshal with great military exploits? The girl still had him obediently wrapped around her finger... ... News of the assassination attempt on General Chen had been blocked by the hospital, and a VIP suite had been prepared for General Chen to receive his treatment. Yun Xi rode in Mu Feichi’s car toward the parking lot outside the suite. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Chen Yichen bringing the general’s wife back after getting breakfast. “Yun Xi!” Chen Yichen called out to her from a distance. The expression on the Young Marshal’s face suddenly became very unsightly, and he gave Yun Xi a warning look. As soon as Yun Xi was about to step forward, she was grabbed by Mu Feichi, who said in a cold voice, “You are the savior of their family now, so they should be the ones who have to be courteous.” “Young Marshal, you are their savior. I’m not going to take your credit.” Withdrawing her hand calmly, Yun Xi watched as Chen Yichen and the general’s wife walked toward them, and she smiled politely. “Good morning Eldest Heir, good morning Third Madame. We’ve come to visit General Chen.” Chen Yichen glanced at Young Marshal Mu, whose expression wasn’t pleasant, and nodded to him to say hello. “Young Marshal, thank you for all your help last night.” After he spoke, the general’s wife also thanked him, “Thank you, Young Marshal, for your lifesaving kindness. We, the Chen family, will remember this favor always...” “I was just passing by and did whatever I could to help. Besides, it wasn’t entirely because of me that he was saved. If you want to thank someone, thank her.” Mu Feichi kicked the ball directly to Yun Xi and completely shrugged off the matter. *** Chapter 466: He Is Irreplaceable in Her Mind 　 Yun Xi, who was being used as a shield, had silently taken the fall for Mu Feichi. It obviously hadn’t had anything to do with her, but they made her stand on the side feeling awkward as if the Chen family was indebted to her. Fortunately, Chen Yichen saw that she was uneasy and tried to ease the tension for her. He took her into the intensive care unit. Through the glass window, Yun Xi looked at Third Young Master Chen, who was lying asleep on the hospital bed, and listened to the attending doctor’s report on the patient’s condition. Fortunately, the accident hadn’t been too serious. Because of the amount of time he’d had to wait to get to the hospital, there could have been a different outcome. 　 　 After a while, Madame Chen and the Master of the Chen family arrived. Seeing Yun Xi and Mu Feichi, Madame Chen was extremely grateful and overjoyed. “Thank God for your kindness, Yun Xi. You really are an honorable friend of our family.” Yun Xi waved her hand awkwardly. “It was Young Marshal Mu who did the saving, old Madame. Don’t be so gracious to me. As a junior, it is too much.” “You saved our family once again. We’ll never forget this huge favor.” Yun Xi smiled awkwardly. To signal him for help in this awkward situation, she pulled at Mu Feichi’s sleeve. She really didn’t know how to deal with this kind of situation. Even in her previous life, she had always been of an inferior status. Now, with someone of the old Madame’s status and age thanking her so profusely, it was too intense for her and something she’d never experienced before. Mu Feichi lowered his eyes and glanced at the small hands clasped on his arm and curled his lips up into a small smile while feeling inexplicably smug. No matter how mischievous and disobedient she was, there were always times when she needed to ask him for help. The feeling of being needed made him feel that he was indispensable to her. “Old Madame, we just came to visit Third Young Master Chen. I have asked someone to investigate last night’s incident. The Chen family needs to pay more attention to their safety and hire as many bodyguards as possible when traveling for the next few days.” 　 　 Madame Chen nodded. “Okay, Ziqu has been notified to hire more bodyguards.” “All right then. You can also call me if you need anything. I will transfer a team of my people over here to stand guard outside the hospital to protect the safety of Third Young Master Chen.” “Thank you, Young Marshal Mu.” Madame Chen breathed a huge sigh of relief when he said that. The guards of Tianyu Mountain’s Mu Family were undoubtedly the best security they could have at this time. After a pause, Yun Xi looked at Mr. Chen Ziliang with some worry. “Eldest master, it’s also important that the doctors and nurses who treat Third Young Master Chen must undergo strict background checks. Since the other party might send out assassins because they didn’t succeed last night, they definitely could try again at the hospital. All doctors and nurses who come into contact with Third Young Master Chen must have their identities checked and remain isolated for their protection to prevent the attackers from using their family members as a means of blackmail, which could be really difficult to guard against.” When they heard all this, the members of the Chen family were so scared that they started breaking out in cold sweats. They really hadn’t thought that far ahead. Moreover, the isolation and protection of family members of medical staff was also a matter of manpower and material resources. The entire family hadn’t yet recovered from last night’s events, and if something similar happened in the hospital today or in the future, they definitely would be underprepared. Upon seeing the family members glance at one another, Yun Xi knew that they must not have had the time to think about things on that level. 　 　 Turning her head, she looked at the man next to her and then asked a little pleadingly, “Young Marshal Mu, can you mobilize more personnel to check the medical staff for their protection?” Mu Feichi glanced at her lovingly. Since his woman rarely asked him for favors, he naturally agreed to everything. Even if it wasn’t his business, he was happy to give wedding gifts to her. They were the connections she wanted, and he was willing to indulge and satisfy her. “In terms of personnel, I will get someone to handle it. Please ask the dean to send me a list of all medical staff who have participated in Mr. Chen’s treatment. The list of personnel and all medical ingredients used must be strictly checked.” “Okay, Young Marshal Mu! I’ll have someone get you the list right away. Cross-examinations will be done both upstairs and downstairs in the hospital just in case.”
