Chapter 400: Chapter 400: So Easy to Talk To?
"With driving skills that bad, does he really think he can catch me?" Han Jingyi said, then floored the accelerator.
"Let’s head back. It looks like we won’t get to see the Great-Aunt today," Xiao Rui’s cousin said with regret.
"My grandpa said he’s going to invite the Great-Aunt over for dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival. You guys can come hang out at my place then."
"Hang out at your place? You cheapskate, not even going to invite us for dinner?"
"Of course you can eat! I was just worried you wouldn’t come if I mentioned dinner. Anyway, it’s just a few days away. Let’s go home for now."
"Hey! I think that motorcyclist is actually waving at us. Are we really just going to ignore him?"
"Why should we care? We don’t know him, and his driving is nothing special. Just ignore him," Xiao Rui said with disdain.
"Let’s go. It’s best not to get involved. Besides, there are several other motorcycles chasing him."
So Han Jingyi sped away. With no traffic on the road, the motorcycles behind them had no hope of catching up.
Mu Shan recognized Han Jingyi’s car. He was burning with anxiety, wanting Han Jingyi to call the family’s son-in-law.
He was being held up by several young motorcyclists who were desperately blocking his way, and he couldn’t break free for the moment.
That wasn’t the worst part. Most importantly, Mu Shan didn’t want anyone to know where he was going.
The sniper from earlier today had left him shaken, and he feared there might be spies mixed in with these motorcyclists.
When Mu Shan saw that Han Jingyi’s group wasn’t stopping and was instead speeding away, he knew he couldn’t catch them and had no choice but to give up.
Seeing the young riders behind him still in hot pursuit, a bloodthirsty glint appeared in his eyes, making him look like a demon crawling out of hell.
He yanked the throttle, pushing the motorcycle even faster, and shot toward them like an arrow loosed from a bow.
The motorcyclists were still caught up in their own race, mainly just competing to see who was faster.
Who would’ve thought the man would be so unsportsmanlike as to ram right into them? Isn’t that against the rules?
"AHH... Look out, he’s lost his mind!" Seeing this, the young riders cried out in alarm, gassing their bikes to get away.
The driver of a truck up ahead was so frightened he jerked the steering wheel to swerve, but it was too late.
CRASH...
A motorcycle slammed into the large truck. Its front was crushed and mangled, and the bike itself flew out of control for a long distance before hitting the ground.
The young riders were stunned. They all stopped their bikes to check on their companion.
A cruel, bloodthirsty smile touched Mu Shan’s lips. ’Finally, I can shake them off.’
Instead of slowing down, he accelerated, looking like he’d risk his life to shake them.
But who would have known that just as he was about to charge past, a car suddenly pulled out from the side.
The driver had clearly seen Mu Shan’s speed and immediately slammed on the brakes. The front of Mu Shan’s motorcycle barely scraped past the car’s bumper as he went by.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed, driving that fast? In a hurry to get reincarnated? If you want to die, go bother someone else! I’ve got a family to support..."
The driver cursed as he grabbed his unfinished Coca-Cola, downed it in one gulp, opened his window, and threw the empty bottle at Mu Shan.
"I’ll kill you, you son of a bitch! Go find someone else to die with, just stay the hell away from me..."
Mu Shan had already sped far away, but as a martial artist, he could still clearly hear the driver’s curses from that distance.
But he really didn’t have time to dwell on it. After circling a few times, he entered the compound.
It was already dark when he returned to the Mu Family’s home. He saw Mr. Mu pacing back and forth in the living room. "Mu Shan, you’re back?"
"Yes, Sir. Didn’t Mu Qing come back and tell you that the Young Master’s surgery was a success?"
"Mu Qing did come back and tell me, but then Mu Wu said there was an incident in the hospital room. I still don’t know the details!"
"Don’t you worry, Sir," Mu Shan said with a chuckle. "With the Great-Aunt there, what could possibly happen? According to the Young Master, she kicked off the wall and flew through the air to shut the hospital room door."
Mu Shan described it so vividly, it was as if he had been there himself, making everyone present feel like they were witnessing it firsthand.
Also in the Mu Family living room were Mu Qingtong, her eyes red from crying, and her three sons.
The Wang Family’s son-in-law and Wang Yuting had both been arrested by the local police for hooliganism.
This was a decision Mu Ziquan had made after careful consideration. He had long been suspicious of Wang Yuting’s identity.
To prevent her from causing trouble in the next few days, he had the Wang Family’s son-in-law arrested along with her.
"Uncle Mu, which Great-Aunt are you talking about? She sounds so amazing! Do we know her?" Wang Chengyao asked excitedly.
"You don’t know her. Sir, the Great-Aunt said the Young Master can eat, so I came back to get some food to take to the hospital."
Mu Shan was afraid the Wang Family would ask him more questions. He wasn’t good at lying, so he wanted to leave quickly.
"The kitchen has already prepared chicken soup. I’ll go ladle some now. You have to take good care of Ziquan," Mu Qingtong said, her voice hoarse.
Although she was worried about her husband, she was still very concerned about Mu Ziquan, the Mu Family’s sole heir.
"Sir, the Great-Aunt asked you to call her home for her. She’s staying at the hospital tonight to look after the Young Master."
Mu Shan leaned close to Mr. Mu’s ear and quietly told him that Xia Qiuming was seriously injured.
Otherwise, with Professor Xia at the hospital, there would be no need for their Great-Aunt to stay and watch over the patient.
"Mm, I’ll go to the study to make the call. Take plenty of food to the hospital and take good care of Ziquan. Don’t let your Great-Aunt worry."
"Don’t worry, Sir. Mu Qing should have already gone inside the hospital. We’ll take care of it."
The three Wang brothers were completely bewildered by what they were hearing, but they didn’t dare ask any more questions. It was Sunday, and they had the day off.
Tomorrow, when they went to their workplaces and school, they had no idea what kind of rumors they would have to face.
’It was all because their family had raised an ungrateful snake. Their parents were both such honest people!’
"You guys should eat too." Mu Shan had already finished a bowl of rice. Seeing that the three Wang brothers hadn’t even picked up their chopsticks, he said a bit sheepishly.
He hadn’t eaten all day, so he started wolfing down his food the moment he sat at the table. He was also in a hurry.
"We’ll wait for Grandpa to come downstairs and eat with us," Wang Chengrong said. He also hadn’t eaten all day, but he had no appetite.
But now, seeing Mu Shan eat so ravenously, he was actually starting to feel hungry. His grandfather and mother were still busy, though.
"Alright then, I’ll eat first." After saying this, Mu Shan buried his head in his bowl and kept eating.
Mu Shan and Mu Wu were Mu Ziquan’s trusted bodyguards, so Mu Shan usually ate at the same table as the Mu grandfather and grandson.
「In the study.」
Mr. Mu dialed the number for Su Shuochi’s home. It was answered on the first ring.
A deep, mellow voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, this is Su Shuochi. Who am I speaking with?"
"Shuo Ci, it’s Old Man Mu. Ziquan’s surgery was a success, but the hospital room..."
Mr. Mu simply relayed Gu Jiaojiao’s message. He was a little worried the man on the other end would fly into a rage.
"Old Mu, I understand. With Jiaojiao there, you don’t need to worry. I’m hanging up now."
Old Mu listened to the dial tone from the other end of the line and put down the receiver in disbelief. ’Since when was he so agreeable?’
