Chapter 73: That Woman, I Protected
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Although Mu Anan was puzzled by Luo Sen’s act of inviting her to the car in public, she knew it would be futile to ask more questions at this point and would be a waste of time.
She said to Huo Xian, “My family is here to pick me up. I’ll go back first.”
Mu Anan was about to leave when Huo Xian grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.” When are we having a hotpot?”
“No need.”
“You saved me. I can’t forget about the meal you asked for. I specially asked Chen Hua and she said that you like to eat hotpot, so I have to treat you.”
Huo Xian’s attitude was unyielding. He held onto Mu Anan and refused to let go-
Mu Anan wanted to beat him up.
…..
But Luo Sen was still there. Once she moved, the matter would turn serious.
Mu Anan was bothered to waste time and said perfunctorily, “Tomorrow.”
Anyway, Seventh Master was not at home for the next two days. She would call Chen Hua tomorrow.
“Then I’ll book a seat for you tomorrow.”Huo Xian loosened his grip on Mu Anan’s collar.
Mu Anan ignored him. She tidied her clothes and walked towards the car.
Luo Sen glanced at Huo Xian and quickly left. He walked to Mu Anan and opened the backseat door for her.
Mu Anan had been on duty for the entire night and was pestered by Huo Xian. She was confused and in a bad mood, so her expression was very serious.
After Luo Sen opened the backseat, she got into the car without even looking.
However, before she could sit properly, she looked up inadvertently. When she saw the man sitting next to her, her heart skipped a beat, “Seventh Master?”
The person who was supposed to be on a business trip was sitting in the backseat.
His legs were crossed elegantly, and she wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Her thin lips were pursed tightly.
He did not move in the face of Mu Anan’s excited voice.
He lowered his eyes with his slender fingers twirling the black gun in his hand. He used his white handkerchief to wipe the shining gun’s body over and over again.
The atmosphere was full of impact and was very dangerous.
However, Mu Anan was still immersed in the pleasant surprise of seeing Zong Zhengyu.
“Seventh Master, why are you here? Didn’t you say you were going on a three-day business trip? Why did you suddenly come back? Why didn’t you tell me that you’re back?”
As Mu Anan spoke, she reached out to grab Zong Zhengyu’s arm.
However, before her hand could touch it, the man who was cleaning his gun suddenly looked at Mu Anan’s hand.
The cold light made Mu Anan’s hand stiffen.
Only then did she notice the state of the Seventh Master at that moment. He seemed a bit dangerous.
“Seventh Master?” Mu Anan asked carefully.
“Disinfect.”
As the cold words fell, Seventh Master’s gaze returned to the black spear and he began to clean it in an orderly manner.
Mu Anan looked on silently. The servant in the car had already brought over disinfectant tissues.
Mu Anan took it and started to disinfect it seriously. At the same time, she secretly looked at Zong Zhengyu.
She felt that something was wrong with Seventh Master.
Could it be that something happened in Liuli City?
Apart from this reason, she couldn’t think of any other.
Should she comfort him?
How should she comfort him?
Mu Anan’s mind was filled with countless ideas, but none of them were good. Thus, she kept her hands disinfected and did not say anything.
Seventh Master, who was beside her, had no intention of comforting her. He rubbed the muzzle of his gun and stared into the rearview mirror ahead of him as he raised his eyes. The muzzle of the gun was aimed at Huo Xian, who was reflected in the mirror. His eyes were narrowed.
Seeing this, Luo Sen immediately started the car and left.
On the street.
Although Mu Anan had left, Huo Xian had not.
He stood where he was and watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom disappear into the street.
Luxury cars, bodyguards.
These two symbols made Huo Xian feel strange about Mu Anan’s identity.
After Mu Anan had saved him that day, Huo Xian learned some about her background.
She was a third-year medical student, the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, and the top in her major.
She was an orphan and a poor student who relied on a scholarship.
Huo Xian did not want to dig out Mu Anan’s background when he found someone to investigate her. However, Mu Anan’s background was too simple. A little investigation would be enough.
It’s a matter of having a limousine and being picked up by security guards who looked professional.
Could it be that she had a hidden identity?
Or rather, was she being supported by a rich man?
These two guesses did not fit with an ugly woman like Mu Anan.
Huo Xian couldn’t understand, so he took out his phone and asked someone to do a more detailed background check on Mu Anan.
After giving his instructions, he turned around and left.
However, just as Huo Xian turned around, he noticed a man at the entrance of the alley sneakily staring in the direction of the luxury car and taking photos.
After that person finished taking photos, he put away his camera and prepared to leave.
Huo Xian quickly stepped forward and snatched the camera.
The man obviously did not expect it and immediately screamed, “What are you doing?”
“What are you doing?”
Huo Xian took a step back to avoid the man trying to grab the camera while looking at the pictures the man had just taken on the camera.
They had taken pictures of Mu Anan from the moment she got into the car.
At the same time, Huo Xian saw a man sitting in the car.
They didn’t take a clear picture. They only captured the man’s jaw and the way he wiped his gun. Even though it was a photo, it still couldn’t hide the man’s noble and dangerous aura.
He was not an ordinary person.
“What arc you doing!” The man who had his camera stolen immediately screamed.
“Who asked you to follow them?” Huo Xian asked.
“It’s none of your business. Give it to me now!”
After the man finished speaking angrily, he was about to rush up and fight Huo Xian.
Huo Ming didn’t even look up and kicked him to the ground, unable to get up.
He took the film away and threw the camera into the arms of the person on the ground, “I don’t care who ordered you to come, but remember, I, Huo Xian, will protect that girl.” If the person behind you has any objections, let him come to the Huo family to look for me!”
After warning him, Huo Xian stepped over the person on the ground and left.
The person on the ground hugged the camera and struggled for a while before getting up. He covered his chest and walked towards the alley. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
As soon as the call went through, he reported formally, “Young Lady, she got into a Rolls-Royce Phantom. I didn’t get a picture of the plate number, and the photos were taken by a person named Huo Xian!”
The other end of his report was none other than Young Lady Jiang, Jiang Qin!
Jiang Qin (Jiang Qin) sat on a chair in the room, listening to his report with a grave expression, and ordered straightforwardly, “I got it. Never mind. Keep following and proceed with caution.”
Jiang Qin hung up the phone after she was done with her instructions and thought about the information she had received from the phone call.
“Huo Xian of the Huo family?”
The Huo family of Jianglan City was a legitimate wealthy family. Be it in terms of assets or power, they were ranked higher than some wealthy families.
…..
Other than the Seventh Master of the Yuyuan Estate, the most powerful family was the Huo family.
Mu Anan was actually in a relationship with Huo Xian, and she was even in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
“It seems that Chen Jiali’s information is correct. Mu Anan is not as simple as she looks.”
Jiang Qin murmured. Then, she thought of her father’s ex-wife’s daughter…
The sound of knocking on the door pulled back Jiang Qin’s thoughts.
The door was pushed open, and Jiang Feng walked in carelessly, reeking of alcohol.
As soon as she looked at him she knew he had just returned from a night of debauchery.
Jiang Qin rejected him, “Didn’t I tell you not to come to my room after drinking?”
Jiang Feng ignored that and sat on Jiang Qin’s desk. He said, “Do me a favour. Contact Zong Qi”
“What do you mean?”
