Chapter 549-550

Chapter 549: I Could Bite You To Death Right Now 　 D*mn, she’d basically shot herself in the foot. “In short, don’t interfere in the matter of Han Wanling and the Han family.” She’d only wanted to settle the grievances between her and the Han family in her own way. Mu Feichi nodded. “Okay, I’ll listen to you. However, since I can’t touch Han Wanling for the moment, and I don’t want you to be too aggrieved by this matter, so...” “So what?” “So, I plan to settle accounts with other people from the Han family, for example, Han Zhongteng.” Mu Feichi stood up and pulled her up the stairs. “He’s Han Wanling’s domestic business partner. Even if I can’t settle any accounts with her for the time being, getting a little retribution will be gratifying.” 　 　 Yun Xi smiled. Upon the mention of Han Zhongteng, she remembered Liang Xinyi. Only a few people in her family had known that she was coming to City C. Liang Xinyi was one of them. So, it wasn’t surprising that Liang Xinyi, Han Wanling’s domestic mole, had snitched on her. “Han Zhongteng isn’t one of my first targets. You can mess around however you want, but I just want to deal with my own messes.” Mu Feichi naturally understood what she meant. Since Han Wanling had gotten the news about Yun Xi’s whereabouts, someone must have disclosed it to her. And among the people around Yun Xi, except for her cousin Liang Xinyi, there would be no one else. As they were going upstairs, Yun Xi slowed down and walked behind as Mu Feichi pulled her upstairs. He unknowingly touched the bruises on her collarbone, and she gasped in pain. Upon hearing the sound of her gasp, he turned his head abruptly. His expression darkened when he saw her holding her collarbone. His sullen voice rang out from over her head, “Is there a wound on your body?” She’d said she was okay, so he hadn’t checked her very carefully. It was difficult for him to check under her clothes in front of other people. “It’s okay. It’s just a little bruise. It will be fine tomorrow.” How could Mu Feichi listen to her nonsense? He directly reached out and pulled open the collar of her bathrobe. 　 　 When he pulled her bathrobe like that, her bathrobe unbuttoned, and most of her shoulder was exposed. Yun Xi hurriedly reached out to cover her chest, then kicked out at him angrily. With a look of anger and frustration, she shouted, “Young Marshal Mu, hasn’t anyone ever taught you how to behave like a gentleman?” She was really helpless against him. He just took off her clothes out of the blue. She had never seen someone so rude and unreasonable. Although there wasn’t any flirtatiousness in that move, she’d almost been *****, all right? He might be shameless, but she still had a sense of shame. Mu Feichi stared at the large bruise on her collarbone gloomily. The darkened bruise was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it. “I could bite you to death right now.” He lost his temper in a fit of anger. He hurriedly pulled her back into the living room and rummaged through the medicine cabinet. “Use that one. The effect is better.” Yun Xi pointed to the pain-relieving spray in the medicine cabinet. Mu Feichi glanced over, and Yun Xi closed her mouth obediently. Sure enough, he was easier to talk to after being consoled. Afterward, Yun Xi, who had been planning to sleep in the guest room, was dragged directly to the master bedroom by the overbearing Young Marshal Mu. The master bedroom had a big bed. “Young Marshal Mu, can I sleep in the guest room?” “No.” “Then can you go to the guest room?” “What do you think?” “Obviously, no.” Since neither of these two options was feasible, then why was she being so difficult? It wasn’t as if they had never slept in the same bed before. Isn’t it just splitting a bed and a quilt in half while this way they could chat. Why was she being so stingy? The negotiations failed, so she stopped talking nonsense with him. She rolled onto her side on the bed, lifted the quilt over herself, and fell asleep directly. She could feel the edge of the bed being pressed down as Mu Feichi tucked the quilt smoothly over her, but he didn’t follow her to bed. “Go to sleep. I’m here.” “Okay...” 　 *** Chapter 550: Still the Best Bait 　 A small village on the border of country Y... After hearing the mine explode, Crocodile had escaped overnight. When his subordinates who had stayed behind in City C didn’t come to meet him in country Y at the agreed time, he knew something was very wrong. With so many of them caught up in one fell swoop, he could only think of one possibility. It must be the doing of the little girl who was allied with Mu Feichi. 　 　 It seems that he had really underestimated her abilities. His people, instead of bringing her back, had allowed her to escape halfway through the journey. First, it was bad enough that she’d escaped, but then she’d also rescued the mole that they’d captured. However, God had still been on his side and killed them all in the minefield. Otherwise, he would have had to do a lot of work to silence them. At this moment, Mu Feichi was probably suffering over the fact that the little girl had been killed. After suffering feelings of embarrassment and humiliation during his escape, he’d finally recovered a little sense of his superiority. However, this sense of superiority didn’t last very long. One of his subordinates received news that he’d acquired after much effort. Not only did those two people who’d entered the minefield survive, but they’d also taken Mu Feichi to his stronghold. All his strongholds in City C had been exposed. Mu Feichi’s ruthless ways of doing things made Crocodile feel even greater hatred toward him. Fury boiled in his chest, and, in a fit of anger, without thinking it through and disregarding the time differences, he picked up his phone. “B*tch! What sort of bad idea have you come up with? Because of a girl, Mu Feichi has discovered all my nests.” On the other end of the phone, Han Wanling was stunned, and it took a while for her to react. She felt angered and amused. “What does this have to do with me? Since Mu Feichi personally came to find her, that shows the importance of that girl in his heart. Blame your own people for being unreliable. If you’d caught her, you could have used her to threaten Mu Feichi. Even if you wanted his head, he would have sent it to you. You failed, and you blame me?” 　 　 “You b*tch!” Han Wanling was right though. If they had caught her, she indeed would have been good bait. But they didn’t. This had been a bad idea with both pros and cons, but if he had caught her, he could have crushed Mu Feichi once and for all. But they hadn’t caught her and she’d escaped, so the consequence...the consequence was that he was now in such a dismal state. All his strongholds in City C had been exposed in one fell swoop. He had nowhere to vent his anger over all this frustration and irritation of failure. But Han Wanling passed the ball to him directly, so she was basically giving him a slap in the face. “Stand up and deal with it. That girl is still the best bait. Do whatever you see fit to achieve your aims.” Before Crocodile could answer, Han Wanling hung up the phone. He not only hadn’t gotten the deed done, but he’d also had the audacity to complain to her. How shameless he was. However, she was still smarter. Taking advantage of Crocodile’s weaknesses and his grudge against Mu Feichi, she’d successfully turned him into a sharp blade to kill that wretched girl, Yun Xi. As long as that wretched girl wasn’t dead, the hatred in her heart wouldn’t be alleviated. ... When Yun Xi woke up, Mu Feichi was long gone. Even his pillows had been tidied up. In fact, there was no trace of him having slept there at all. After washing up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs. Halfway down, she could hear Zhao Yumo’s voice from the hallway. “Yun Xi, good morning! Did you sleep well? Come down for breakfast.” “I slept great.” Yun Xi smiled, then turned and saw Mu Feichi feeding Great White in the yard outside. The snow had stopped, and, like a layer of golden silk, the early morning sun gave the top of the mountain a golden hue. “Where’s Second Master Jiang?” Yun Xi glanced out of the floor-to-ceiling windows. “Um, he’s waiting outside to talk to Young Marshal Mu. I came in here to wake you up, but you were already up.” “Oh, since they have something to discuss, let’s have breakfast first.”
