Mu Chenze didn't even consider it, "I disagree! Absolutely disagree! I can be used as bait."

I can't just watch Chu Xuan fall into danger.

Uncle Long was not optimistic about Mu Chenze being used as bait. "Liang Shi probably has no interest in you. You're useless as bait. In fact, I have already rejected Xiao Xuan's proposal. But she said that if she didn't agree, she would go to the county town by herself..."

Tell Mu Chenze what Chu Xuan said.

After listening to this, Mu Chenze realized that if he disagreed, Chu Xuan would be in greater danger.

"I know Chu Xuan. She'll definitely do whatever she wants to do. Why don't we agree to her proposal and discuss countermeasures together? We must ensure her safety and ensure that there are witnesses and evidence."

Catching Liang Shi is equivalent to eliminating the biggest hidden danger.

"Can your classmates help? You absolutely cannot notify the county security team. I suspect there's someone there who's familiar with Liang Shi."

"Okay. Let's not notify the county police. I'll go directly to my classmates in the city."

"I'll be in charge of the investigation and tracking, and I'll leave the job of protecting Xiao Xuan to you. Once you've made the arrangements, please notify Xiao Xuan, and we'll proceed according to the plan."

"good."

They chatted for a while before Mu Chenze said goodbye.

Uncle Long wanted to arrange for someone to take him there by bike, but he declined.

If you eat too much, you need to walk to digest the food.

After Uncle Long watched Mu Chenze leave, he instructed Xiao Huan to inform a few brothers with good skills not to go out for the time being.

Although he said that the task of protecting Xiao Xuan was given to Mu Chenze, he would actually arrange people to protect her.

It must be absolutely safe.

Otherwise, he would be too embarrassed to see Tian Xiaoyun.

More than an hour later, Mu Chenze returned to the village.

Instead of going home directly, he went straight to Chu Xuan's house.

It happened that Chu Xuan was sitting at the gate of the courtyard looking at the sky.

In fact, she didn't want to admit that she missed someone a little.

Usually at this time, Mu Chenze would come over with a cart carrying grilled fish fillets.

Not coming back tonight or ever again.

Even though I know I won't be able to see him, I still hope that he can take a walk past my house.

Even if she can't marry him, it won't stop her from liking him and missing him.

Just when she was feeling lost, Mu Chenze came over.

The moment he saw her, Mu Chenze's fatigue disappeared and he became refreshed.

"What is Chu Xuan doing at the door? Is he waiting for me?"

Chu Xuan was overjoyed to hear the familiar voice and see the person she had been waiting for. "Why are you here? Is there something important? Don't even think you were just taking a walk. You don't look like that."

Mu Chenze's mouth curved up nicely, "Yes, I have something important to discuss with you. Would you like me to come in and talk?"

Chu Xuan quickly stood up and gestured for invitation, "Come in."

She invited him to sit in the kitchen and quickly brewed a pot of tea.

Chu Feng came out to say hello to Mu Chenze, then went back to the house tactfully, not wanting to be a third wheel.

Mu Chenze lowered his voice, "I just came back from Uncle Long. He said he agrees with your proposal, but he needs time to make arrangements. Please wait patiently for two days. When we can take action, I will come and let you know."

Chu Xuan stared into Mu Chenze's eyes, "Uncle Long promised me that he would not let you get involved in this matter. He broke his promise..."

"He didn't break his promise. I took the initiative to provide him with information. Today I suggested that I be the bait, and he brought up your case to stop me."

"Alright. He kept his promise." At this point, Chu Xuan suddenly looked at Mu Chenze with a serious face, "Remember this, I would rather die a hundred times than let anything happen to you."

Mu Chenze asked seriously, "Can I understand this as you confessing your feelings to me in disguise? If so, I accept your confession."

Chu Xuan's face flushed red, "You are being sentimental, I didn't confess!"

"Okay, you didn't confess. After I catch Liang Shi, I will confess to you, and you must accept it then! I know you didn't want to get married before because you were worried about implicating your in-laws."

Mu Chenze has been waiting for this day. As long as he uses the right method, he can catch Liang Shi, and then Chu Xuan will have no worries.

Chu Xuan didn't expect that Mu Chenze knew everything.

No wonder he was always nice to her no matter how she refused.

"Why are you so stupid?"

She was implicated by him in her previous life, but she was willing to come and help her in this life.

How could Chu Xuan have such good fortune in her previous life?

Mu Chenze looked at her with deep affection in his eyes, "I don't think I'm stupid. If you insist on thinking I'm stupid, then I admit that I'm the smartest among the fools."

Chu Xuan pinched her arm hard and sobered up a lot. "Until we catch Liang Shi, you are not allowed to say such love words again."

Mu Chenze couldn't help laughing out loud, "Xiao Xuan, you mentioned love words just now, it seems that you like me too. You obviously like a pretty boy like me, but you still say that you don't like me."

Chu Xuan felt a little shy and annoyed, so she raised her hand and hit him on the back. He didn't dodge, and Chu Xuan couldn't bear to really hit him, so she released a lot of strength and it just tickled him.

He said stubbornly, "I don't like anyone. I want to live alone for the rest of my life, is that not okay?"

"No! Before we catch Liang Shi, you have the final say. After we catch Liang Shi, I have the final say! Don't forget, you stole my first kiss. I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

"You didn't like me from then on, did you? It's really a strange thing, a swan likes a toad."

"I didn't! I didn't like you when you were so fat."

"So when did you start liking me?"

"I'll tell you after I catch Liang Shi. And then you have to tell me when you started liking me."

Chu Xuan still insisted, "Did I ever say that I like you?"

Mu Chenze smiled instead of getting angry, "I'm not in a hurry now."

His eyes fell on Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan was frightened by being stared at. "What are you looking at?"

"I think you've lost weight again. You should be less than 150 pounds today."

"You guessed it right. I just weighed myself on the big scale at the food factory this afternoon, and it came out to be 149 kilograms."

"Other people weigh 149 pounds and look as fat as pigs, but you weigh 149 pounds and don't look fat at all."

"Because I cleverly cover up the fat parts with clothes. Actually, I am still fat. With my height, I weigh about 130 pounds, which should be considered slim."

"You are 170 cm, right?"

"Yes, with shoes on, I should be around 172cm."

"Do you know how tall I am?"

"Of course I know. You're 1.86 meters tall."

After saying that, Chu Xuan realized something was wrong. Why should he care about Mu Chenze's height?

Mu Chenze was in a very good mood, and she still said she didn't like him? She even knew his height so well.

"Xiao Xuan, when you helped me knit a sweater before, you definitely didn't ask my mother about my clothing size, right? How much do you care about me? I'm so happy!"

Chu Xuan insisted on being stubborn. "It's not that I'm paying attention to you, but I have good eyesight. I can tell how tall you are, how wide your shoulders are, and so on, just by looking at you. I can tell the same thing about other men."

"You dare!"

"What do I dare?"

"Try another man!"

"You misunderstood me. I don't want any man, so how can I talk about changing to another man?"

Mu Chenze suddenly stood up, leaned close to Chu Xuan's ear, and whispered, "I, you must have it!"

Domineering yet tender. (End of this chapter)
