Chapter 248

C248 – Gagged Mouth

“Argh, why can’t I ever catch what others are saying!” The man grumbled irritably, scratching his head in frustration, yet he hesitated to venture forth alone.

Just as he pondered his next move, his phone chimed.

Upon glimpsing the caller ID, he promptly answered with deference, “Hello, Brother Mo Ya.”

“Yes.”

Mo Ya’s voice was subdued as he queried, “Is Mr. Mu Sizheng in Hua Xia yet? The Young Mistress inquired.”

The mention of his mistress further elevated the man’s respectfulness. “We’ve arrived. We’re just getting settled.”

“What about the explosion? Do you require assistance?”

Assistance? Ah, yes. I recall hearing that Mr. Mo Ya sought permission from the Young Mistress to travel to Huaxia a year ago; it slipped my mind.

“This issue does pose some complications. If assistance is needed later on, I’ll consult with my superior and have him reach out to you.”

“Very well.” The response was succinct.

The man scratched his head, troubled, unsure of what to do. Once again, Mu Sizheng’s phone was in his possession.

Meanwhile, upstairs at the hotel, after Xiao Ming opened the door for Mu Sifa, he remarked, “Third brother said not to bring men to his room for any mischief in the future.”

“Got it, got it, his wife is back anyway!” Nong Mobai replied impatiently, evidently still irked by the recent events.

“It’s good you understand, but try not to bring guests to the hotel often. Xiaoxiao is very concerned about you.”

“That girl hasn’t changed a bit!” Nong Mobai chuckled dismissively, offering no further comment.

“Okay, I’m off. Remember to lock up when you leave later.”

Xiao Ming glanced around the room, issuing a brief admonition before departing.

“Got it, just like dealing with my mom.”

No, even my mother isn’t as verbose as he is! Why did Xiaoxiao marry this guy? Was it out of childhood affection?

Nong Mobai sneered, finding it amusing. Though he wasn’t sure why, it didn’t seem like it was Mu Xiaoxiao or Xiao Ming who was laughing.

“Alright, once you have the key, head back!”

Nong Mobai entered the room lazily. However, at that moment, he felt a sudden darkness descend upon him. Before he could react, someone covered his mouth and flung him onto the bed.
