Chapter 1309 - You’re So Weak

Li Muyang pursed his lips and didn’t say a word. What he wanted… was for Fu Huai’an to personally make his move first in Maynard Sanchez’s territory… so they could deal with him without implicating others!

If he revealed Fu Huai’an identity as Mr. Moral to Maynard Sanchez now, Lin Nuan would definitely be embroiled in the mess. Li Muyang knew this very well!

Seeing Li Muyang remain silent, Maynard Sanchez continued, “If you have any requests, feel free to raise them. So long as you give me a name, even if you want all of my assets… I’ll give them to you after I take revenge! I’ve said this before. Although I’m not a gentleman, I’m still a man of my word.”

“I’m a person who’s about to die. Why do I need all of your assets? Can I bring you to the netherworld to spend it?” Li Muyang laughed softly.

His words vexed Maynard Sanchez. “Then what do you want? Tell me… what the hell will make you tell me who Mr. Moral is!”

Li Muyang was silent for a long time before saying, “I want you… to kill some of Gu Qingcheng’s friends in Haicheng. Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, Tang Zheng, and… Gu Qingcheng’s younger brother!”

Maynard Sanchez raised an eyebrow. “It seems like you really hate Gu Qingcheng!”

“I don’t hate Gu Qingcheng. I hate Fu Huai’an. It’s because… I have my heart set on his wife! Therefore, I have another request. You must guarantee that Fu Huai’an’s wife and child won’t be harmed at all. If you could bring her to me and settle this matter for me, I’ll give you Mr. Moral’s name!”

Dealing with a mere wealthy businessman who had some influence in Haicheng wasn’t that difficult for Maynard Sanchez. After all, in Maynard Sanchez’s eyes, Fu Huai’an and the others weren’t as scary as his own subordinates.

“Okay!” Maynard Sanchez agreed. He smiled as he threatened Li Muyang. “If after I settle this matter for you, you still won’t tell me that person’s name or tell me a lie… I’ll make you beg for death! Understand?”

Li Muyang leaned his back against the bathtub comfortably and smiled. “If you can do it, I’ll definitely give you that person’s real name!”

After reaching a deal, Maynard Sanchez quickly arranged for someone to handle this matter.

Maynard Sanchez’s men had a clear order. Their objectives were to kill their designated targets Fu Huai’an, Lu Jinnan, and Tang Zheng, capture Lin Nuan and send her to Li Muyang’s villa.

The people sent out by Maynard Sanchez were all outlaws. It wasn’t a big deal for them to kill someone, but to capture someone alive, especially when that person was the famous Lin Nuan, they had to plan their move carefully.

Ever since Li Muyang was set on the loose, Fu Huai’an had long been on his guard.

Therefore, the moment Maynard Sanchez’s men entered Haicheng, Fu Huai’an received news…

Tang Zheng allocated the manpower in Haicheng to strengthen Lin Nuan’s, Bai Xiaonian’s, and their children’s protection. He also instructed You Nainai to follow Lin Nuan closely other than at the Fu residence.

Because Tang Zheng was aware of the number of people protecting Lin Nuan, he felt safer for You Nainai to follow Lin Nuan around.

Knowing that You Nainai was already used to bloodshed, Tang Zheng didn’t hide all this from her…

As soon as he found out that Maynard Sanchez’s men had come to Haicheng, he invited You Nainai for a meal at his place. After Little Candy got tired from playing around on the sofa and fell asleep, Tang Zheng told You Nainai what happened.

“Something is up, and there might be a threat to our safety, so after discussing it with Old Fu, we agreed that I should leave Little Candy at the Fu residence. That way, it’ll be safer for her. Old Fu is guessing that they’ll probably act to get Lu Jinnan this time!” Tang Zheng said.

You Nainai couldn’t help but feel nervous upon hearing this. “What about you? Do you have anyone protecting you? You’re so weak…”

Tang Zheng was rendered speechless.

These were clearly words of concern, so why did they feel so harsh to Tang Zheng?

“Compared to you… then yeah, I’m pretty weak!” Tang Zheng admitted helplessly. “But… not necessarily when compared with others!”

Seeing that You Nainai was about to say something, Tang Zheng hurriedly raised a hand in defeat. “Okay, okay, okay, okay. I have people protecting me, don’t worry!”

“Who are they? I want to test them!” You Nainai said with a tense face.

Knowing that You Nainai was truly worried about him, Tang Zheng’s heart softened, and he subconsciously reached out to grab her hand…

Tang Zheng put all the courage he had into this grip.

After all, You Nainai was known as a female warrior. She could just grab his hand and throw him over her shoulder at any moment. Such things already happened quite often between them.

Sometimes, You Nainai would even twist Tang Zheng’s arm when he laid his hands over her shoulder until he apologized and begged for mercy before releasing him…

Anyway, Tang Zheng was the one who ended up getting beaten up and injured every time.

Tang Zheng was prepared for a shoulder throw or an arm twist this time, but You Nainai didn’t do any of that. She only frowned as she remained motionless in her seat.

Tang Zheng secretly became bolder, reaching out to hug You Nainai’s shoulder.

“Will it be dangerous?”

The moment You Nainai opened her mouth, Tang Zheng let go of her in fright. In an instant, he scooted over to the leftmost side of the sofa…

You Nainai was speechless.

Was she that scary?

“I’m sorry…” Tang Zheng coughed awkwardly, then slowly moved closer back towards You Nainai. He raised a hand, wanting to hug You Nainai, but he suddenly lost his courage. He put down his hand awkwardly. “You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine as long as you and Little Candy are safe!”

You Nainai didn’t say anything, only reaching out to hug Tang Zheng after a while.

You Nainai’s action caught Tang Zheng off-guard. He was stunned. He carefully reciprocated by placing a hand on You Nainai’s back.

Holding You Nainai in his arms, Tang Zheng’s eyes reddened. It had been a long time since he felt this way…

“I have to assess the people assigned to protect you. I’ll only feel assured if they can defeat me!” You Nainai said.

“No, don’t!” Tang Zheng laughed softly, hugging You Nainai even tighter. “There’s no need to worry, they’re all well-trained!”

In the end, Tang Zheng didn’t let You Nainai try out the people assigned to safeguard him. He said that if You Nainai beat those people up, who would be left available to protect him…

You Nainai didn’t go back to her home that night. She slept in Tang Zheng’s guest room, hugging her daughter, but she didn’t sleep a wink.

The next day, when You Nainai went to the Fu residence to fetch Lin Nuan, there were noticeable dark circles under her eyes.

Lin Nuan walked out of the house and handed You Nainai a cup of coffee. Seeing the dark circles under You Nainai’s eyes, she smiled and asked, “What happened to you? You didn’t sleep well last night?”

You Nainai nodded. Seeing Lin Nuan buckle her seatbelt, she said, “Nuan Nuan, I have something to discuss with you!”

Lin Nuan looked at You Nainai and nodded. “Say it…”

“I want to apply for leave…”
