When Lin Mufan arrived at S City, he first went to look for the Old Man of the Mu Family. The Lin Family had some friendship with him, not to mention that the Old Man of the Mu Family had no choice but to come see Lin Mufan with regards to the matters between the Jiang Family and the Jiang Family.
"Old Man Mu." Lin Mufan walked into Mu Family's villa, smiled and nodded at him, then extended a hand to shake his hand.
Seeing that, although Mu Zhiheng was suspicious, he did not say anything, but only did all the forms of etiquette. Lin Family was now one of the top pillars in A City, it was rare for him to have such a clean background, if they rope him in, it would be good for Mu Jingxuan.
For his own son, Mu Zhiheng was still willing to pull his old face down. After all, no matter how long his hands were, they wouldn't reach out to A City, so it was impossible for him to care too much.
Seeing this, Lin Mufan raised his eyebrow, and suddenly thought of Mu Jingxuan's identity. He now understood Mu Zhiheng's actions, and for someone who used to wield great power, who could call the wind and summon the rain, to be so courteous to him, was something to be satisfied about.
Furthermore, the Mu Family had never lost her power. There was only one reason that could make him do this, and that was to rope him in so that he could help his son.
"Old Man Mu, I won't beat around the bush. Why did Mu Family come to A City?" She did not have much time to beat around the bush or to speculate; he needed to obtain the information first in order to guarantee Gu Anning's safety.
Now that someone wanted to take action against Gu Anning, he could only take out more chips and make a bet with them to see who would be the more impatient one.
Old Man Mu was startled when he heard it. He looked at Lin Mufan and frowned slightly. After all, this was a secret and not something that a merchant should know.
Lin Mufan saw through his concerns, and said: "Do you understand the situation in A City clearly, Old Man Mu? I'm afraid that Master Mu didn't tell you before, the Lin's disease and the Gu's merged together, and the Ann's was at the top of the list. The Qin family collapsed after a great upheaval, and did not recover at all, but has only improved a little now. The Ren's that just entered the city focused on the entertainment circle, so there's no need for me to talk about other small businesses. "
"If I was Old Man Mu, I would form an alliance with the Lin's disease. After all, the Ann's's methods are not clean, and they carry the burden of a lot of lives. Among them are the people from the government, right?" Lin Mufan raised his eyes and looked at Mu Zhiheng, an additional sense of dignity appearing in his eyes.
Hearing that, Mu Zhiheng laughed, extended his hand and patted Lin Mufan's shoulder, and said straightforwardly: "Young people should be feared! A young person's abilities must be respected! "
Seeing that, Lin Mufan curled his lips, and looked at Mu Zhiheng: "This still depends on Patriarch Mu's support."
"This time around, it's to take back A City. I think you should know how important A City is, but all these years, it has not been used by the country. The gangs that are forming their own sects here are causing a serious loss of manpower." Mu Zhiheng sighed.
"In the end, I could only cut off two of my own arms in order to capture all those outlaws. This ambush lasted for nearly thirty-five years."
"Thirty-five years?" Lin Mufan frowned when he heard it, he had never thought that it would actually start from this early, and what were these two arms?
Mu Zhiheng thought of his two sons, and couldn't help but tear up. He wiped away his tears, "These arms are my own sons, and the Jiang Family thirty-five years ago was a drug dealing and arms magnate, but in the end, he almost lost to his two sons. Now, the Ann's is linked to arms once again, as for how rotten A City is, you should be clear about that."
"…" Lin Mufan lowered his eyes, they were clear about the officials' collusion, in the end, what they did was only doing business, but the Chiang was seeking death.
Mu Zhiheng held onto his walking stick tightly and said: "When you have time, bring your grandfather to S City, and we haven't seen that old fellow for a long time. Back then, he wanted to go and build a bright business, but unfortunately, he still didn't succeed."
"I will fulfill my grandfather's wish." Lin Mufan bowed towards Mu Zhiheng and asked, "Then who is the other person from Mu Family?"
"My second son, Mu Jingren, the butler of the Gu family."
Lin Mufan didn't know how he left the Mu Family. He had gotten the answer he wanted, but he didn't think it would be like this. What kind of world was it now?
And who was the person hiding in the dark? And who was scheming against Gu Anning? And who was it that wanted to break the Mu Family's plan?
Could it be that the one charging at him at the beginning was not tranquility, but was instead at the Mu Family? Is it for Mu Jingren?
A lot of thoughts quickly flashed past Lin Mufan's mind, but it made him even more worried. It didn't matter if the Lin's disease was dead, but if Gu Anning was gone, then he would definitely not let this happen.
"Hey, Lin Mufan, why are you here?" Xiang Ye never thought that the person who had gone missing in the legends would actually appear in front of her in such a way, moreover, in the vicinity of the Mu Family.
Lin Mufan also did not expect to see Xiang Ye. His mind was in a mess, but because he saw a sliver of luck flash past Xiang Ye, he hoped that the other party was only fighting against the clan so he picked Gu Anning up, thus he held onto Xiang Ye.
The two of them went into the café, and after chatting for a long while, Xiang Ye looked at Lin Mufan with a grave expression and said after a long while: "Do you know the Four Great Clans?"
Lin Mufan frowned, he had never heard of the Four Great Clans before. He had thought that in this world, there would no longer be such a clan.
"Xiang, Mu, Zhuang, and Luo, Luo Family and Mu Family have the closest relationship, but after the matter of the marriage between Second Master Mu and First Miss had been blown out, the two families started opposing each other, if it was really Luo Family, then it is possible." Xiang Ye said.
"…" Lin Mufan tightened his grip on the spoon, looked Xiang Ye in the eye, and said, "Where is the big miss of Luo Family Xiang Ye?"
"Because after the marriage annulment, her whereabouts have been unknown, and no one knows where she is." Xiang Ye shook her head apologetically, pursed her lips and said, "Next up, I will go to City A, you can go to City K and check it out. That is the Luo Family's base of operations, you don't have to worry that I will send Zhuang Sheng to help you."
Lin Mufan thanked Xiang Ye, "Thank you."
Hearing that, Xiang Ye shook his head, "An Ran is also the bloodline of my Xiang Family. We don't talk about family matters, but when do you plan to come back? Right now, the person that An Ran needs the most is you. "
"I will come back as soon as possible. Xiang Ye, I don't want my peace to be harmed, if she suffers because of this, it will be because of my incompetence as a husband. I hope you can understand me." A hint of pain flashed across Lin Mufan's deep eyes.
If it was possible, he would also wish to be by Gu Anning's side, but he was an ordinary person, even with the Lin's disease, how could he not be worried facing the Four Great Clans.
His peace was something he should be happy about, not hurt by it all the time, and it was up to him to take responsibility for it.
"Alright, I understand. Go to K City. I will take good care of them and take good care of their peace. When you return, I will hand them over to you in one piece." Xiang Ye said.
Seeing this, Lin Mufan heaved a sigh of relief, I was even more grateful towards Xiang Ye, my fists were clenched even tighter, what exactly was waiting for him on the road to K City? Lin Mufan did not know about it, but the eyes in his heart lit up.
What was there to fear in fighting for love?
A City
Gu Anning pursed her lips and stared at Mu Xiu who was in front of his. Her lips twitched, and if she did not get the news from Mu Jingxuan earlier, he would have poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Rest in peace. You still hate me so much." Mu Xiu ruffled his hair, looked at Gu Anning, and smiled. "Since that's the case, then I might as well turn your hatred towards me into love."
After saying that, she walked towards Gu Anning and pulled up Gu Anning's hair. She placed it on her nose and took a light sniff, then looked at Gu Anning with her soul-stirring eyes: "I heard that a person hates that person as much as they love him."
"Mu Xiu, have you messed around enough yet?" Gu Anning tugged at his hair, pushed Mu Xiu away and looked at him coldly.
When a person wanted to treat a person well with everything, they were most afraid of hearing him make a ruckus. This made them feel that everything he did was just a joke in front of them.
Mu Xiu was afraid that even though he had spent a lot of effort to treat her well, Gu Anning had replied him with a question. As long as his heart was fleshy, he would still feel hurt, and he would also feel pain.
Hearing that, Mu Xiu's face darkened, and in the blink of an eye, his entire body had been revived as he asked Gu Anning gently, "What do you want to eat today? I'll make it for you. "
"Mu Xiu, I said before that I don't love you and I don't like you. No matter what you do, you won't be able to remove the harm from the past, and I know the person I love very well. His name is Lin Mufan!" Gu Anning practically roared at Mu Xiu.
Mu Xiu's originally bright eyes suddenly stopped, grabbed Gu Anning's waist, and roared at her: "Lin Mufan is dead? He's dead! Can't you even be nicer to me, or love me a little? I don't ask you to love me very much, but can't you love me even a little bit? "
"Lin Mufan did not die. Even if he did die, his soul has already sprouted in my heart." Gu Anning couldn't say how cold his gaze was, but it must have been frigid to the point of hurting someone, "I don't love you, this is the truth."
Gu Anning and Mu Xiu were in a stalemate. The two of them did not give in to each other and neither could change anything. Neither could they allow time to reverse, neither could they force the other to fall in love with them.
Mu Xiu was unwilling to accept this, but Gu Anning was unwilling. Both of them had a kind of indescribable persistence, until they almost lit the other party on fire, and then refused to let go until they bit each other's bloody wounds.
"Gu Anning, I hate your heartlessness the most." In the end, Mu Xiu lost, but he was still unwilling, and said to Gu Anning: "Even if I don't have you, I will still draw a heavy line in your world, and destroy you is the path you chose."
Gu Anning looked at Mu Xiu coldly, his red lips spitting out words that could hurt: "Thank you then."
