A mere little video is too niche, not worth mentioning to outsiders.
It probably wouldn't interest any normal person.
But for certain parties involved, the impact was absolutely terrifying!
It was hard to tell how much time had passed.
"I did everything you asked! Please let me go!"
"I swear, I will never speak of what happened today!"
"If I do, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
At this moment, after a brutal interrogation, the drunk landlord had nearly lost half his life.
Not to mention he was also injured.
If this continued, he would really die!
"Heh, let you go? You offended our young master, and you still think you can be let go?"
"Alright, now I'm giving you a chance. If you can hold out during the second round of interrogation, we might consider it! But... it's just a consideration!"
Bodyguard A sneered as he put away the recording device and clapped his hands.
Bodyguard B understood the cue.
He opened the door to the outside.
A crowd gathered, and there were plenty of professional interrogation tools.
The bald leader grinned widely.
"Boss, who are we interrogating this time?"
"I..."
The drunk landlord's face instantly turned pale, losing all color.
Another round of interrogation?
He had a terrible thought in his mind...
Bodyguard A unhesitatingly pointed at the drunk landlord.
Turning his thoughts into reality!
"Over there!"
"Got it, boss, don't worry! We're professionals; we can definitely pry something out of him!"
"Brothers! It's time to interrogate!"
The bald leader took the lead.
Then a group followed in.
Having finally encountered a generous boss, they couldn't let down his expectations!
"Ah ah!! Don't hit my face, I'll tell you everything! Help me!!!"
Bang!
The door to the room was slammed shut.
But outside, one could still faintly hear someone's screams.
The drunk landlord, who liked to lay hands on girls, finally experienced firsthand the taste of being severely judged!
Perhaps this is what they call "evil people have their own evil people to deal with"!
"What should we do with this guy?"
Bodyguard B expressionlessly grabbed a certain unfortunate young man's neck.
"Just toss him where we knocked him out!"
"The young master's order was just to shoot a little video of him, not to kill him!"
"This kid is lucky! Otherwise, there would be another person to interrogate inside!"
"As for the guy in there, the young master has already given orders to keep our hands clean..."
"If we finish our work quickly, we can still make it to the Zhanmou River barbecue restaurant for a late-night snack!"
Bodyguard A lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled through his nose.
Bodyguard B nodded.
Then he dragged the boy, who looked like a dead dog, downstairs.
...
On the other side.
Mu An held the girl who had fallen asleep in his arms and checked into a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.
Today, Chu Youmeng was really scared.
If it weren't for Mu An's timely arrival, the outcome could have been very bad!
"There won't be a next time!"
Mu An gently stroked the girl's forehead and said softly.
It was unclear whether he was saying this to the girl or to himself.
As he prepared to leave, the girl tightly grasped his large hand and wouldn't let go, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
Her expression was filled with fear and a hint of unease, and she was mumbling intermittently.
"Mu An... don't go... don't leave me..."
Mu An was slightly taken aback.
After confirming that she was really not pretending to be asleep, he softly said,
"Okay, I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere!"
At this, the girl's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
However, her little hand still clung tightly to Mu An's large hand, refusing to let go.
Mu An felt a bit helpless and could only send a text to Ning'er.
[Ning'er, I won't be coming back to sleep tonight!]
[No need to prepare supper, you can go to bed early, don't wait for me!]
After that, he gently held the girl, as if he were holding a piece of warm, soft jade.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Mu An's mouth.
I wonder if our dear protagonist is comfortable right now?
In any case, he had already enjoyed the rewards from her!
...
Mu Family Manor.
"That guy isn't coming back to sleep today?"
Mu Yuer, who went downstairs to get some water, happened to overhear Ning'er's mumbling, and her brows furrowed tightly.
"Yes, Second Miss!"
Ning'er replied respectfully.
"Hmph! He doesn't have the ability but wants to stay out all night like others! I hope he dies in another woman's belly sooner or later!"
Mu Yuer was filled with anger, and her pretty face showed no signs of hiding her emotions.
Her small feet, clad in bunny slippers, stomped furiously on the floor.
The wooden floor creaked in 'pain,' as if it were pleading for mercy on behalf of someone.
Ning'er stood by with her head down, not daring to speak.
She was afraid of further provoking Mu Yuer.
As a fellow girl who had accompanied them in the Mu family for so long, she could naturally see through Mu Yuer's little thoughts.
But she couldn't understand why she had to express it in this way.
Clearly, she could have taken the initiative...
"No, I need to go tell Sister Wanrou!"
Saying this, Mu Yuer immediately ran upstairs.
Dudu Dudu~
After a while, Mu Yuer got through to her older sister, Mu Wanrou.
"Hello! Big sister, um, long time no see!"
Although she said she was going to complain to her sister, when actually facing her, Mu Yuer felt a bit more restrained.
But the cold, aloof voice of the mature woman came through the phone as usual.
However, anyone who knew Mu Wanrou would know that her tone had softened a lot!
"Xiao Yu, what do you need from me?"
"Um... it's just, that..."
When it came time to speak, Mu Yuer became a bit tongue-tied.
"Is it about Xiao An?"
"How did you know?!"
"Out of the ten times you call me, nine are about him! So, what happened this time?"
On the other end of the line, Mu Wanrou rubbed her temples and paused her work.
This was a rare sight for the workaholic!
"Not really..."
Mu Yuer unconsciously pouted.
But thinking of that jerk, her anger flared up again, and her tone was filled with resentment.
"Sister Wanrou, do you know? That guy actually dared to stay out all night today!!"
"Probably off having fun with some stinky woman!"
"I don't understand why Uncle and Aunt don't take care of this guy!"
"If he were in front of me right now, I would definitely bite him hard!"
"He's really too, too much! Ahhh! It's all that guy's fault, so annoying!"
Once Mu Yuer started talking, she couldn't stop, spilling her grievances like beans.
Meanwhile, Mu Wanrou quietly listened to the girl's complaints.
Then, she fell silent for a moment, and her gaze gradually deepened as she looked into the distance.
"Xiao Yu, you actually know our situation!"
"The Mu family has been passed down for nine generations, and he is the only direct descendant."
"And our identities are special... Strictly speaking, we can't be considered part of the Mu family!"
"But the Mu family has treated us like their own daughters, allowing us to enjoy all the resources they provide!"
"As long as we want, we can boldly do almost anything!"
"And it's the kind where we can get what we ask for!"
"However, Uncle and Aunt also told us the only requirement..."
"What that requirement is, you know in your heart!"
Mu Wanrou said softly.
It was as if she were calmly recounting something completely unrelated to herself.
Mu Yuer fell unusually silent on her end.
Of course, she understood this matter.
In fact, she understood it better than anyone!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly upon hearing that Mu An stayed out all night!
Because deep down, she really cared about that so-called jerk!
