Chapter 545-546

Chapter 545: Trying to Catch a Snitch 　 Marshal Mu’s team members all looked at him and his mannerisms around this girl with dumbfounded expressions. They had never seen Young Marshal Mu, who had always been indifferent and ruthless, indulge a girl like this. Thinking about their mission today, everyone tacitly understood what had happened. The focus of their dispatch today hadn’t been Crocodile, but this girl. Feng Yang leaned against the car door and didn’t say anything. It was rare to see Young Marshal Mu, who had always kept his private life separate from official affairs, be so blatantly protective of Yun Xi. He found it very out of the ordinary. 　 　 “Hey, you didn’t expect to see me again, did you?” With a half-hearted smile, Yun Xi leaned down and looked at the embarrassed woman. “You didn’t run away?” The woman was surprised when she saw her. “I haven’t caught your boss yet, so how could I run away?” Playing with the gun in her hand, Yun Xi readjusted her expression. “I have a question I’m very curious about.” “Wh...what’s the question?” Upon being stared at so intensely, the woman felt cold chills rise up her spine. Especially since, at this moment, the gun in Yun Xi’s hand was aimed at her head either intentionally or unintentionally, and that made her worry that the gun would suddenly go off. “Your boss specifically asked you guys to tie me up and cause a big ruckus. I’m curious as to why he thought about using me to threaten Young Marshal Mu. After all, I have nothing to do with Young Marshal Mu, so this blackmailing method might not have been effective. Moreover, few people knew that I was in C City. Even if you had received news that Young Marshal Mu had come to C City, you wouldn’t have known that I was also in C City. Unless...someone snitched and informed your boss in advance. That person must be from Jingdu, and must be someone around us.” Upon hearing her say snitched, the woman’s eyes flickered and she hurriedly lowered her head. Just from her reaction, Yun Xi knew that she was right. When Young Marshal Mu, who was sitting in a chair behind her, heard her say that she had nothing to do with him, his facial expression became darker than the bottom of a pot. 　 　 Li Zilan rubbed her forehead. She wanted to laugh, but she didn’t dare to laugh out loud. However, because of what Yun Xi had just said, the two of them also realized something they hadn’t realized before. Why was Yun Xi kidnapped? Few people knew about their whereabouts in C City. Who leaked the news, and who snitched to Crocodile? Moreover, it must be someone around them that they weren’t aware of. Who could that person be? “Now that your boss has abandoned you guys and run away by himself, you’ve all fallen into our hands. You should know very clearly how you’ll end up. If you tell me who it is, perhaps I can let you go.” Negotiating solemnly, Yun Xi squatted down in front of her. “I won’t betray our boss.” Knowing the consequences of betraying Crocodile, the woman struggled and gritted her teeth and wouldn’t say anything else. “Really? But your boss has already sold you out. No matter what, we will catch him sooner or later anyway. It depends on whether you want to watch him go to jail from jail or watch him go to jail from outside.” Yun Xi’s conditions were very tempting. After all, everything they had committed in Jingdu were capital crimes. If they really caught Crocodile, she wouldn’t have to worry about him retaliating against her. But when Crocodile was going to be caught was unknown, so she didn’t dare to take the risk. “So you don’t want to tell me?” Yun Xi flicked the gun in her hand from side to side and inadvertently shot into the glass window behind the woman. The window smashed to the ground. “Oh, I’m sorry, it accidentally went off.” Yun Xi looked at the woman who was trembling with fright. “However, if it accidentally goes off and shoots you in the head later, that would be too bad.” Seeing that she didn’t say a word, Yun Xi continued, “We’re both women, so I won’t make things difficult for you. The opportunity is in front of you. If you don’t take it, don’t regret it later. With so many people here, I don’t believe that no one knows the answer to my question.” *** Chapter 546: Tacit Conversations 　 It was time to use the tactic of retreating in order to advance. Yun Xi stood up to leave. As soon as she stood up, the woman who had been hesitating suddenly broke down. “I’ll talk, I’ll talk!” Seeing that Yun Xi was going to go and ask someone else, the woman decided to give in. She didn’t want to miss the opportunity Yun Xi had offered her. All the other kidnappers who had been captured cursed at the woman. Yun Xi found their curses annoying, and she turned to look at Mu Feichi. 　 　 The two of them immediately came to a tacit understanding. Mu Feichi waved his hand, and the Mu Group’s people immediately cleared the scene by taking all the other kidnappers out of the room. “Okay, no one will bother us anymore. Spill the beans!” “Actually...actually, I don’t know exactly who the other party is. I only know that she’s a woman. When the boss talked to her on the phone, I heard a little bit of their conversation. It sounded like the woman knew Young Marshal Mu...” The woman told them all about her boss’s conversations that she had heard. When they heard that Young Marshal Mu had allegedly been the sweetheart of this mysterious woman, Yun Xi and Mu Feichi looked at each other. Both of them seemed to have come to the same conclusion. Very well. Although Han Wanling wasn’t even in the country, she was still meddling in domestic affairs. Yun Xi knew her limits. Even if she absolutely knew that it was Han Wanling’s doing, she was powerless to do anything about it. But Mu Feichi was different. When he realized that it had probably been Han Wanling who had arranged the kidnapping of Yun Xi, the solemn look on his face suddenly made the temperature in the room feel as if it had dropped to the freezing point. It had already been cold in there, so Yun Xi felt even colder now, and she shivered. Mu Feichi glanced at her, realizing that she was feeling extremely cold, and he quickly took off his jacket and put it over her shoulders. “Let’s go! Let my men take care of the rest.” “You...didn’t you say you’d let me go?” Seeing that Yun Xi was about to leave, yet had showed no intention of letting her go, the woman got immediately anxious. “Yes!” Yun Xi nodded with a sincere expression. “I promised to let you go, but he...” 　 　 Yun Xi pointed to Mu Feichi, and, once again with tacit understanding, the man cooperated by answering, “But I didn’t agree.” Looking innocently at the woman in front of her whose hopes had been shattered, Yun Xi shrugged helplessly. “I have no choice. He won’t listen to me. I want to let you go, but it’s a pity he won’t. So don’t use me to threaten Young Marshal Mu in the future. It’s useless.” As soon as she’d finished speaking, Mu Feichi looked over at her, but Yun Xi blinked and pretended that she didn’t notice. As they were about to leave the room, Feng Yang stopped Mu Feichi. “Young Marshal Mu, I have something to tell you.” Not planning to say it in front of her, Feng Yang glanced at Yun Xi. Yun Xi was very sensible. She readjusted her clothes and stomped her feet. “I’m going to go to the car and wait. I’m freezing to death.” Mu Feichi nodded, then turned to Li Zilan and said, “Go find her some clean, dry clothes and let her change in the car.” The weather was cold, so if she really got frostbite and fell ill, how would he be able to exist in the future? Li Zilan agreed and turned around and walked out of the room. There were only two people left in the huge room now. Momentarily feeling crestfallen, Feng Yang silently watched the little figure rushing out to the car. As soon as Mu Feichi turned his head, he saw Feng Yang’s sad expression. He immediately became jealous, and he turned around to block his sight of Yun Xi. “What do you want to say?” “The news I’ve received is that Crocodile recently had a batch of trades in M City. He is now escaping from the country. I don’t know if he’ll show up in M City or not.” Mu Feichi didn’t seem to expect that he would have told him this information, and he snorted arrogantly, “I will have people operate surveillance in M City. Don’t you get involved in these sorts of affairs. Otherwise, your dad will have to come look for me to help.” “This is my business, so don’t worry about me.” Too lazy to talk any more nonsense with him, Mu Feichi snorted lightly, turned around, and walked straight out of the room.
