A tall and straight bodyguard slowly walked out from among the men in black opposite, seeming to be the leader of the crowd.

"Miss Xiao?" The person politely called out to Xiao Jinglan behind him.

Mu Wangli glanced at Zhou Yan, who stepped forward and whispered in his ear, "These people have been waiting here for a long time. They were already here when our people arrived."

"Yeah." Mu Wangli responded indifferently.

He had expected such a scene.

However, there seems to be no one in charge here, at least the two people who were at the helicopter airport are not here.

"Send him away." Mu Wangli gave the order in a clear and decisive voice.

"Yes." Zhou Yan responded, waving his hand and leading his men forward, "You must have recognized the wrong person. This is our young master's assistant, not the Miss Xiao you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, the leader in black looked at Zhou Yan's half-smile with sharp eyes.

He responded with a cold face, "Butler Zhou, you are joking. How can our information be wrong? We will know whether it is true or not if we ask her to go with us."

There was a chill in Zhou Yan's slightly lowered eyes.

This person actually knew his identity at a glance.

It turned out that it had been investigated and had a background.

He continued with a smile, "No matter who you are, this is Qingcheng, the territory of the Mu family. If you want to take someone from the Mu family away, you still have to get our consent first, right?"

After a slight pause, he continued, "After all, there is an old saying that a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, right?"

"Since Butler Zhou has said so, I might as well make it clear to you. Our mission today is to take away the young lady next to the young master of the Mu family, no matter what means are used."

The black-clad leader had a solemn expression, not fearing the authority of the Mu family at all. He looked at Zhou Yan with cold eyes, but spoke to Xiao Jinglan behind him, "Our young master is still waiting for Miss Xiao to come back. Miss Xiao, please don't embarrass us, okay?"

Xiao Jinglan lowered his head and acted as a background, looking as if he was staying out of the matter.

"That's enough." Mu Wangli frowned, a little impatient, "If we can't come to an agreement, let's fight."

As soon as these words fell, the air around them became stagnant, and a dangerous atmosphere filled the air.

Both forces are on high alert, ready to take action at any time.

Mu Wangli's men stood in front of the few people and approached the black-clad men opposite step by step.

Just as the whole body is activated.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello." The leader in black answered the phone in a low voice.

I don’t know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but he put the phone down soon after.

He walked forward and bowed respectfully in the direction of Xiao Jinglan, "Miss Xiao, my young master is waiting for you in the Imperial Capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a gesture, and asked the people behind him to stand aside, bowed their heads, and the group turned around and left.

Xiao Jinglan blinked, his eyes filled with confusion.

???

Mu Wangli raised his eyes and stared at the backs of the group of people leaving, his eyes dark and deep.

What the hell is going on?

Not long after, Zhou Yan also ordered his men to retreat, leaving a path leading directly to the black luxury car parked nearby.

"Young Master, please."

Mu Wangli retracted his gaze, lazily lowered his head to glance at the person beside him, and said softly, "Let's go."

"Yeah." There was still a hint of doubt in Xiao Jinglan's eyes, and he lowered his head and followed the young man.

In the car, in the back seat.

Xiao Jinglan thanked the young man who was leaning beside him.

"Thanks."

"No need." The boy didn't even raise his eyelids. He leaned against her quietly with his eyes closed and asked calmly, "What are your plans next? Where are you going?"

Xiao Jinglan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. His eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were covered by his slightly drooping eyelashes, and no emotion could be heard in his voice.

"I didn't think about it."

It would be a bit difficult to find a place where Ling Yisheng couldn't find it for the time being.

"In that case, let's go to the Mu family first."

Not long after, he added, "After all, I promised Brother Liang Sheng that I still have to settle you down."

"...Thank you." Xiao Jinglan couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the lazy young man who had a hard-mouthed but soft-hearted appearance. Knowing his good intentions, he thanked him again in a sincere tone.

"Noisy." The young man with his eyes closed complained in a disdainful tone, his body slightly tilted, his face turned towards the car window, looking like he was about to sleep.

Xiao Jinglan touched the tip of his nose with his fingertips in grievance, with a helpless expression. He withdrew his gaze angrily and looked outside the car.

It was silent all the way.

……

Country A

In the office, Ling Yisheng thought about the situation Chu Zhao had just reported. His eyes were deep. He picked up his phone and made a call, then opened his lips lightly.

"The Mu family should clean up."

The person on the other end of the phone responded respectfully.

"Remember, the result I want is her."

Ling Yisheng said this in a calm voice and hung up the phone.

In front of the French window, the man looked out into the distance with a deep look in his eyes, a hint of sinisterness and hostility flashing in his eyes.

The young master of the Mu family, Mu Wangli?

After Chu Zhao received the new order from Ling Yisheng, he ordered his men to retreat and was now on a plane heading to Qingcheng.

Although he didn't know why his young master suddenly changed his mind, he always felt that his young master would not give up.

……

Xiao Jinglan followed Mu Wangli to a huge manor and was arranged to live in a villa inside.

Mu Wangli lived in another villa next door, and they didn't have much interaction.

There was only one floor between the two of them.

Evening

Mu Wangli returned to the Mu family's old house with a wanton look, ready to attend a family dinner with the Mu family's master and others.

Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu had already stopped caring about other matters and handed over the group company to the eldest son of the Mu family.

Nowadays, the couple only spends a few days a month in the old house. The rest of the time they travel around the world. They only check on their eldest son from time to time and leave their younger son alone.

This time, when I heard that my youngest son was coming back, I decided to stay at home for a few more days so that the whole family could get together for a meal.

Not long after, a man in a black suit and with a stern face came to the door, exuding a cold aura as soon as he entered.

Mrs. Mu, who had just sat down, saw the person coming and quickly shouted to the person at the door, "Xiaochuan is back, hurry up and pack up and come over for dinner."

"Dad, Mom." The man put his things in the locker beside him, looked up and called out to the two people at the dining table, and then responded to Madam Mu's words indifferently, "Well, okay."

"Xiao Li, you're back?"

Seeing Mu Wangli grinning wildly at the side, the man changed his shoes, took off his tie, rolled up his sleeves and called out.

"Yeah." Mu Wangli glanced at the man who was slowly approaching, and without changing his posture, he responded indifferently, "Brother."

"Oh, I don't know whose personality you two took after. You're both so quiet and taciturn."
