Chapter 463-464
Chapter 463: Snatch Her from the Grim Reaper’s Grasp
He leaned over, put his hand on her waist, and asked with a sly smile, “Does it hurt? Would you like me to rub it?”
He was obviously fooling around, but he gazed at her with such a gentle expression, it would have melted anyone receiving it.
Yun Xi froze a little as she almost fell into his gentle trap. Blushing, she said flirtatiously, “Get lost!”
With one hand, she pushed away his face that was hovering too close to her, and with her other hand, she pried his hand off her waist as she glared at him with gritted teeth.
“You don’t need to be so silly. You better not try to mess with me again. I have hundreds of ways to beat you.”
Knowing that she’d understood his words, his mood brightened, and he looked at her with gentle eyes.
“If you want to beat me, you at least have to have more ability. With your speed, you wouldn’t even be able to catch up to me.”
“Stop acting so superior! Go away!”
She lay backward, bent her free foot, kicked him in the chest, and rolled over onto the carpet.
As soon as she’d rolled onto the carpet, she bumped into Great White, who jumped up and hugged her.
Thinking that she was in danger, Great White bared its teeth, turned its head, and snarled at its owner with a stern warning.
Upon being threatened by his own pet, Mu Feichi looked dumbfounded and amused.
“C’mon, look at me. I’m not a bad guy.”
Mu Feichi patted Great White’s head and pulled Yun Xi away from him.
He repeatedly emphasized to the confused Great White, “Also, she is my woman, so you’re not allowed to do anything to her.”
“...” At a loss for words, Yun Xi gave him a look and then returned to the important topic of the night. “Third Young Master Chen suffered such a serious injury. Do you know what the situation is at the hospital?”
“Don’t worry, there was a doctor among the people who came to pick him up. The helicopter is as fully equipped as a hospital, and he should be able to hold on until they reach the hospital.”
With that said, he stood up, took out his phone, and called to ask about the situation.
At the hospital, Qi Yuan, who was still waiting for the results, said that Third Young Master Chen had been sent to the operating room for emergency surgery.
“Go ahead and make sure you block any report of this from reaching the news. If anything about tonight is reported tomorrow, you’re fired!”
“Yes! I understand!”
What happened tonight was no trivial matter. Once word got out, it would inevitably attract all sorts of criticism, speculation, and might even cause panic.
Qi Yuan understood the importance of the matter and had already made several arrangements on the helicopter early that morning.
“Once Third Young Master Chen is out of danger, please call again, and inform the Chen family as well.”
“I have already notified the family. The Eldest Heir and the master are on their way over.”
“Okay, go help Li Zilan when you’re finished, and I’m going to go try to figure out what happened tonight.”
“Okay, Boss.”
By the time Mu Feichi had hung up the phone, the butler had already finished preparing supper. Yun Xi ate two dumplings and then she lost her appetite. Sitting cross-legged on a chair, she pushed her bowl in front of Mu Feichi.
“Don’t waste it. Please take this.”
Mu Feichi glanced at the bowl she’d pushed over, then poured the dumplings from her bowl into his own bowl without saying a word, and obediently finished eating them.
“I have something to discuss with you.”
“Spill it.” Mu Feichi seemed to have guessed what she wanted to say, and there was no curiosity at all on his handsome face.
“Since you’re so swift, why don’t you teach me to be better. I also want the ability to protect myself, or at least to not fall behind every time. I fall for the trap every time.”
It didn’t matter whether she could defeat him. The thing that drove her crazy was that she didn’t even know how he made his moves in the first place.
Mu Feichi finished all the dumplings in the bowl and quietly raised his head to look at her.
“If you want to learn all these things, then you must wait until you finish your final exams.”
He had already planned to teach her all the things he knew personally.
Since she was destined to accompany him to the top, it was time to teach her the things that she had to know to face life with him. It was therefore evident that he would have to teach her.
If one day, she acted recklessly like she had done today, he couldn’t always guarantee that he could snatch her from the grim reaper’s grasp.

Chapter 464: With Mu Feichi Here, There Were No Buts
Early the next morning, when Yun Xi woke up, she found Great White by the bed, but Mu Feichi was gone.
Last night, she’d waited until 3:00 o’clock in the morning to make sure that Third Young Master Chen was okay before she went to sleep.
After washing up and going downstairs, she saw Li Zilan and Qi Yuan in the living room reporting to Mu Feichi about what had happened last night.
“I have already investigated the matter and checked with Third Young Master Chen, and I’m certain it’s the doing of his old nemesis.”
His eyes blazing, Mu Feichi raised his eyes from the document in his hand. “Have you found out who it is?”
“Not yet. The person who was captured wasn’t very high up in rank. He was only responsible for the implementation of the attack. He doesn’t know the specific goals or reasons behind the attack.”
“Please instruct everyone to investigate this for me, It is a super-high priority. I don’t allow dangerous forces to lurk in Jingdu.”
If you dared to commit a crime under his nose and got caught by him, then you couldn’t blame him for being mercilessly ruthless.
“Yes! I have ordered everyone to investigate. Third Young Master Chen also said that he would cooperate with our investigation and hopes to find clues as soon as possible.”
Li Zilan glanced at Mu Feichi. She had heard about what had happened last night. It was the girl who had desperately run out as bait, and that had given him an opportunity.
For Mu Feichi, this was probably a very humiliating thing.
Knowing the domineering nature of this man, Li Zilan was sure he wouldn’t have allowed his own woman to run out as bait.
“I heard that you plan to teach the girl yourself?” Li Zilan asked curiously.
Although there had been the recent kidnapping event, coupled with these dangerous recent events, Young Marshal Mu was probably just saying that he would personally teach the girl without actually meaning it.
Li Zilan knew very well that if Yun Xi really started to study with Mu Feichi, then she would definitely have to work in the Mu Corporation in the future.
The business world was bound to be ruthlessly cutthroat, and she would have even more burdens to shoulder.
She was supposed to be living a carefree life like an ordinary girl, but now if she was sucked into their world, the latter half of her life would change accordingly.
Mu Feichi glanced at Yun Xi coming down the stairs, and, leaning back on the chair lazily, he raised his eyebrows, “Ask her yourself!”
If she were to ask him, of course, he wouldn’t be happy about it, but he had to agree.
Li Zilan turned her head and glanced at the figure coming down the stairs. In a beige cashmere coat and black trousers, she looked gentle and soft.
She wasn’t Mu Feichi, so she wasn’t overly protective of Yun Xi. In order for her to learn basic skills, Li Zilan had to be ruthlessly strict.
Moreover, this girl was indeed a piece of jade. If polished well, her future achievements might rival her own.
“Girl, I heard that you were very courageous last night. I heard that your reaction speed wasn’t that slow. What do you think about letting Young Marshal Mu teach you personally? The decision is now in your hands. If you let him choose, he won’t be happy about it.”
She hadn’t started training her reaction speed yet. From the video of her venturing onto Tianyu Mountain, it could be seen that her reaction speed indeed wasn’t bad, and it was worth training.
She was full of potential in her own right, and, if she was trained properly, she could become the most outstanding female bodyguard in the Mu Corporation.
However, Mu Feichi definitely wouldn’t let her hold such a position. She would stand in a position of power as the madame.
Yun Xi reflexively glanced at Mu Feichi, then narrowed her eyes and smiled. “My reaction speed isn’t fast enough. I want to be faster than he is. Boss Zilan, can you train me to become faster than him?”
Li Zilan glanced back and forth between the two of them, and, when she saw his sullen expression as expected, she deliberately asked, “Why do you want to be faster than Young Marshal Mu? In terms of his reaction speed, even I can’t beat him, let alone you. In the entire Mu family, I’m afraid no one is faster than he is. If you want to become faster than him, then you’ll have to tell him in advance so he can slack off. Otherwise, it’s impossible.”
“...” Yun Xi sighed with a crestfallen expression on her face.
Only if she was faster than him would he be unable to take advantage of her.
However, with Mu Feichi here, there were no buts.
