“You… What did you say? Who did you say he was?” Qi Huiyin sat on the ground. The glare of the reflected light blocked her vision, so all she could focus on was what Nangong Nuannuan had said about Ning Wenhao’s identity.

Nangong Nuannuan smiled. “What? Didn’t you hear me clearly? Let me repeat myself. Listen carefully this time. The person that you claim is trying to take over the Mu family’s property is named Ning Wenhao. He was a top-notch soldier of the Eagle Special Forces as a senior captain. He is also the young master of the Ning family—a first-rate noble family in Emperor District. Aunty, do you think that the young master of a first-rate noble family is so desperate to take over the little property the Mu family owns?”

When they heard what Nangong Nuannuan said, Mu Qingling and Qi Huiyin were flabbergasted.

Qi Huiyin, in particular, felt her heart begin to palpitate. She clutched her chest in pain and could not say a word.

Mu Xigui also looked up at Ning Wenhao in surprise. He never expected to have been neighbors with the young master of the Ning family for two years.

However, despite his surprise, Mu Xigui still walked over to greet Chi Yang upon seeing him.

“Lieutenant General Chi, Miss Nangong, we meet again!”

Looking at the young faces in front of him, Mu Xigui sighed.

He had met Chi Yang before. When Nangong Nuannuan was framed by Ou Chenghe, Chi Yang had not only helped Nangong Nuannuan out of her predicament, but he had also been determined to take Ou Chenghe down—and he was definitely strong enough to do it.

At that time, Mu Xigui thought that Chi Yang might not have been an ordinary person. If he was, how could he dare to behave so recklessly when the commander-in-chief, Leng Jinpeng, could stop him at any point? After leaving the police station, Chi Yang had been so consumed with love that he actually forgot about his immediate superior, leaving him at the entrance of the station as Chi Yang drove away with his girlfriend.

At that time, he thought that Chi Yang was very unreliable.

Later, upon discovering Chi Yang’s true identity, he had sighed, clearly holding back some emotions. It turned out that Chi Yang and Leng Jinpeng, who was the chief commander of the Jiang District military base, were actually colleagues of the same level. Furthermore, Chi Yang was the only grandson of Camino’s only grand marshal, Chi Yuancheng!

“Uncle Mu, you’re treating me like an outsider. I’m Nuannuan’s fiance, and Nuannuan is your daughter’s friend. Uncle Mu, just call me Chi Yang.”

“Uncle Mu, you can just call me Nuannuan,” Nuannuan added.

She had not forgotten that when Ou Chenghe wanted to kill her because of Ou Mingxi, the governor, Mu Xigui, had protected her. Thanks to his efforts, Ou Chenghe had been unable to carry out his plan and get what he wanted.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, Mu Xigui was about to be transferred to Emperor District to be governor. If Mu Qingxuan had been hurt by Ling Xuyao, Mu Xigui would have lost all motivation to move forward. If he had stopped in his tracks, his bright future would have dimmed.

After all, being the governor of Emperor District would mean that he had a foot in the door to be ranked as the head of the administrative department.

“Okay, okay, okay.” Mu Xigui quickly nodded and responded awkwardly. “I’m really sorry. It’s hard to have my family’s dirty laundry aired out. Sorry for making a fool out of myself.”

“Who would want two scumbags in the family? Uncle Mu, it’s the Mu family’s fortune to see the detestation of this mother and daughter before they got even worse.”

Mu Xigui was very upset. It was not because he was going to divorce Qi Huiyin soon, nor was it because he was going to send his stepdaughter, whom he had raised for 15 years, to the police station. Instead, it was because… his daughter, whom he loved so dearly, had suffered for so many years because of his carelessness.
