Chapter 412-413

Chapter 412: Verify His Stance .. His facial features were handsome and well-defined. His narrow eyes were icy, and his eyebrows were fierce. When his gloomy eyes fell on the dining room directly in front of him, Yun Xi suddenly felt a chill go up to her back. Seeing the figure slowly walking toward them, Yun Xi’s nerves tightened. Such an overbearing aura! Hearing movement outside, Han Yaotian turned his head and saw a figure walking toward them. Pleasantly surprised, although caught off guard, he quickly stood up to greet him. “Young Marshal Mu, why are you here?” He was so surprised to see Young Marshal Mu in this restaurant. As if he hadn’t even seen Han Yaotian, Mu Feichi walked to the other side of the table and pulled out the chair beside Yun Xi and sat down. 　 　 He leaned against the back of the chair arrogantly and crossed his long legs as he looked at the man who was now sitting across from him. “Mr. Han has a lot of spare time lately? You have time to come all the way to such a place to eat? Has the Han family finished cleaning up all the mess they made?” His mellow voice was low and magnetic, but, for some inexplicable reason, his raised pitch gave off a tone of warning. As soon as Mu Feichi arrived, Yun Xi immediately grew quiet. Despite Han Yaotian’s overjoyed expression, Mu Feichi had immediately mentioned a mess as soon as he opened his mouth. Wasn’t that basically raining on Han Yaotian’s parade? How characteristic of Young Marshal Mu. If he doesn’t want to talk nonsense with you, he won’t even give you a chance to speak. “Young Marshal Mu...I, may I talk to you alone?” Han Yaotian glanced at Yun Xi, who was sitting next to Mu Feichi. He didn’t expect that he would get to see Mu Feichi so soon. He was at a loss for words at this moment. He really couldn’t discuss the Han family’s personal matters, especially in front of Yun Xi. Worried about missing out on this opportunity, he looked at Yun Xi with distress. He’d originally wanted to ask her to go outside, but Mu Feichi glanced over coldly, and, before he got the chance to open his mouth, Mu Feichi spoke first. 　 　 “She isn’t an outsider. If it’s about the Han family’s trouble, then you don’t need to say anything more. I don’t have the spare time to take care of your family’s mess.” If he doesn’t intervene, that means he won’t interfere, and he won’t investigate the Han family’s connection with Crocodile. As long as he doesn’t interfere, then they can slowly fill the hole by themselves. But if the shady dealing of trafficking drugs with Crocodile gets exposed, that would be taboo for the Mu family. The Han family would immediately be disgraced, and all of them would lose everything overnight. Upon hearing him say this, Han Yaotian was slightly relieved. His father had indeed been right. To maintain the four major clans’ balance of power dynamic, Mu Shao wouldn’t attack them so easily. The reason he’d wanted to see him was also to verify his stance on this issue. “Then...that kidnapping incident...” He had been passed out on the day he was kidnapped, so he didn’t know what had happened afterward. His father had handed over the list and the batch of goods. At first, they hadn’t known who they’d handed it to. Later, they’d received a call to ask them to deliver the goods, and they’d realized that the list and the goods had been given to the wrong person. There were only a few people who had known about it, so they could only guess that the stuff might have fallen into Young Marshal Mu’s hands. 　 　 It was safer for the stuff to be in his hands rather than other people’s hands, but such a large sum of money had been squandered, so it was also a heavy loss for the Han family. As soon as he’d opened his mouth, Mu Feichi knew what he was about to say, so he directly stopped him by saying, “Do you still want to get the things back from me?” “No, no...I didn’t mean that...” Even if they were in anguish over their financial loss, they dared not ask for it back from him. If they got the things back, Crocodile would definitely find them to settle accounts again, and at that time no one’s safety could be guaranteed. But if the things were in Young Marshal Mu’s hands, Crocodile might not trouble Young Marshal Mu since, after all, there was a huge gap in power between them. However, they might still cause some trouble for the Han family. In this catch-22 situation, they could only hope that Young Marshal Mu would catch Crocodile and solve this big problem soon. Otherwise, none of them could be at peace at all. *** Chapter 413: Arrogant, Domineering, and Didn’t Care about Other People’s Opinions at All ... Yun Xi was sitting quietly, looking at the menu, while listening to Mu Feichi trap Han Yaotian. She bit her tongue to suppress her laughter. He was probably the only person who had the ability not to blush and to act so self-righteously when trapping someone. No, he wasn’t trapping him... He was openly swindling him. Moreover, no one dared object to his swindling. “Since that’s not what you want, get out of here! The Han family better keep a low profile from now on and clean up their mess. If you stir up trouble again, no one will be able to help you.” “I know...” Han Yaotian nodded vigorously. Although Young Marshal Mu’s attitude seemed to be ambiguous, he’d also gotten the answer that he wanted today. As long as Marshal Mu doesn’t trouble the Han family, the Han family can slowly recover. 　 　 As for the troublesome Crocodile... Han Yaotian didn’t think Young Marshal Mu would turn a blind eye to him. Since the Han family was safe for the moment, it meant that there was still room for maneuvering. Han Yaotian was about to leave, but Yun Xi smiled and said, “Hey, why are you making President Han leave? He said he’d treat me to dinner. Now he’s going to leave before we eat?” “Um...” Han Yaotian had really only wanted to see Young Marshal Mu to test the waters. Now that he had seen who he’d wanted to see, he didn’t care about the meal anymore. Although he didn’t care about the meal, Yun Xi, who he had tried to use to get to Marshal Mu, had no intention of letting him off the hook. “Mr. Han, as soon as Young Marshal Mu got here, you’ve only focused on talking to him. Don’t tell me that your ulterior motive behind sincerely coming to apologize to me was to see Young Marshal Mu? If that’s so, you really have underestimated me.” Yun Xi squeezed the disposable water cup in her hand and glared at Han Yaotian with a cold and piercing gaze. When she said that, Han Yaotian immediately became entrapped in another catch-22 dilemma. He felt so awkward that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had no idea what to do. If he left now, he would basically be acquiescing in her charge of having exploited her. Then he couldn’t even think about apologizing in the future. If that happened today, he would become her enemy. “Miss Yun has misunderstood me. I did come to apologize to you with sincerity today. I was really upset that I dragged you into danger last time.” 　 　 In front of Young Marshal Mu, he had to keep up the act until the end. No matter how foolish he seemed, he couldn’t fail to realize that Young Marshal Mu had appeared here today because of the girl. He was surprised that this girl was that important to Young Marshal Mu. “Really?” Yun Xi smirked mockingly. Her soft voice was slightly raised, and it sounded especially gentle. It was obviously a satirical rhetorical question, but when said with her soft voice, it sounded especially coquettish to Mu Feichi’s ears. “Of course.” Han Yaotian nodded affirmatively. “It’s just that asking Young Marshal Mu to eat in a place like this seems too crude. I hope Young Marshal Mu isn’t offended.” This place had been chosen by the girl, so Young Marshal Mu couldn’t blame him for lacking judgment. “Did I agree to eat here?” Mu Feichi glanced at Han Yaotian coolly, pulled Yun Xi from the chair by her wrist, and walked directly outside. This was Mu Feichi’s MO. He was arrogant, domineering, and didn’t care about other people’s opinions at all. Han Yaotian awkwardly watched the two of them leave, and his face suddenly darkened. Mu Feichi’s attitude had clarified everything. He was willing to come and see him, but it didn’t mean that he would do him a favor or eat with him. Mu Feichi got into his car parked on the roadside so swiftly that the bodyguards who were watching were taken aback. This was the difference between a real man and bodyguards. Han Yaotian stood at the door. The wind was rustling outside, but he felt a shameful sense of humiliation. The inferiority complex and humiliation brought about by the insurmountable gap between men of different calibers were overwhelming.
