Duan Peng stepped forward to greet him, "May I ask your surname, sir? Thank you for saving my child."

Then he extended his hand and, in a very formulaic manner, shook hands with Yu Muqi.

Yu Muqi glanced disdainfully at the outstretched hand and casually shook it.

I sat right next to them at the helm, watching the little girl slowly and carefully eat her noodles.

It's actually quite cute that her little mouth is moving.

Zhao Xiaoyue was enjoying her noodles when she caught a glimpse of this guy staring at her with a smile out of the corner of her eye. Zhao Xiaoyue glared at him.

Look again, look again and I'll gouge your eyes out!

Yu Muqi awkwardly looked away and replied to Duan Peng, "My surname is Yu, no need for thanks! Saving people was just something I did."

Duan Peng frowned at this attitude, then beckoned to his assistant to bring him his business card, which he then handed to Yu Muqi with both hands. "Mr. Yu, this is my business card."

The president of Wens Group personally handed over his business card; anyone else would have accepted it with trepidation.

But to put it bluntly, Yu Muqi was a reckless and unruly person.

He chuckled and said, "No, I'm just a rough man, not very literate, it would be a waste for me to take it, so I'll pass."

Zhao Xiaoyue also finished eating. "Seventh Uncle, I'm done eating!"

Yu Muqi tidied the table. "Since you're here, we'll take our leave."

Then, protecting Zhao Xiaoyue, they walked out of the ward.

Zhao Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Do you have a grudge against him?"

Yu Muqi said angrily, "This person is very arrogant. Lao Jiu and the others wanted to ship a batch of finished diamond products to China. They were thinking about the safety of Wen's cruise ship. Do you know what they said to the captain?"

Zhao Xiaoyue casually asked, "What did you say?"

Yu Muqi was even more furious. "This guy surnamed Duan actually wants to take a stake. We were supposed to provide the money and they could just transport the goods. But that bastard made such a shameless request and he's so arrogant."

Zhao Xiaoyue snapped angrily, "Stop swearing!"

Yu Muqi shut up, but didn't forget to make a brief complaint about Duan Peng.

Then I thought, this is a classic case of her being allowed to set fires while forbidding others to even light a lamp!

But what can you do when someone's at the helm?

Duan Peng took good care of Situ Ming and at the same time had someone notify Wen Zhengtian.

When the old man arrived at the hospital, the anger in his eyes almost burned Duan Peng.

“Our people couldn’t find out who those people were. According to the students from the martial arts school, the leader was a guy called Fourth Brother. He caused trouble for the young master. Later, a little girl came along,” Duan Peng said, frowning and pausing for a moment.

Little girl?

He thought of that well-behaved little girl, probably eleven or twelve years old.

impossible!

Wen Zhengtian swept his cold gaze over her, "A little girl?"

Duan Peng nodded in agreement: "According to them, the one who defeated that group of people seemed to be a young girl with quite impressive internal martial arts skills. However, apart from that, there are no other clues to be found."

"Hmph, a guy called Fourth Brother? Hmph, hehehe..." Wen Zhengtian's hand gripping his cane made a cracking sound, his voice filled with anger and disdain. "Situ Kun's mistresses and illegitimate children are clearly determined to deal a heavy blow to Tong Le this time, wanting to put him to death!"

Duan Peng had obviously guessed the general idea.

They can't do anything to Situ Kun right now; their identities aren't suitable, and their business acumen won't harm him.

Zhao Xiaoyue went to the Century Club with Yu Muqi.

"That person isn't dead, is he?" Zhao Xiaoyue walked forward steadily.

"No, we found a doctor to treat her immediately," Yu Muqi replied and pressed the elevator button.

Zhao Xiaoyue stepped into the elevator and said, "Blindfold him."

Yu Muqi asked in confusion, "Captain, that kid already knows that you were the one who kidnapped him."

Zhao Xiaoyue shrugged. "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't expose yourselves."

"ah?"

The musty smell from the basement filled Situ Cheng's nostrils.

Tied to the ironwood bed frame, the pain in his limbs constantly reminded him that he had been captured by that little wench.

He's been kidnapped!

His mouth was stuffed with cloth, and fine beads of cold sweat streamed down his forehead.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."

It was no use; not a sound was heard.

Just as Situ Cheng was exhausted and felt like he was about to faint, "bang," the door opened, and footsteps approached from afar.

Situ Cheng struggled to open his eyes, which were swollen to a slit, to see which bastard had come in, but a blinding beam of white light suddenly shone into his eyes.

Just as he reflexively closed his eyes, Yu Muqi quickly covered Situ Cheng's eyes with a strip of cloth.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."

Another person brought over a chair, and Zhao Xiaoyue sat down with an air of nonchalance.

Without even trying to hide his voice, he said, "Take the gag off his mouth."

Yu Muqi nodded and did as instructed, but remained silent.

"Pfft, ptooey, you little bastard, you little bitch, do you know who I am? You'd better let me go right now, or my dad won't let you off the hook!"

Zhao Xiaoyue chuckled, "Who your dad is is none of my business. Who does he think he is? Why would I need to know him?"

Situ Cheng was a little scared, but he still questioned sternly, "Who are you, and what is your relationship with Situ Ming? Let me tell you, if you offend me, you will die without a burial place."

Zhao Xiaoyue scoffed, "Heh, with your brains, you're not even as big as a chicken's brain, are you? I went through all that trouble to tie you up here, do you think I'd let you go back? Do you dream about Yan Ruyu in your dreams? Tch!"

Situ Cheng trembled. "My parents must know I've been missing by now. If you let me go now, I promise I won't pursue the matter."

"Ha, you don't need to worry about that at all. The place you found has no surveillance cameras and is deserted. It's the perfect place to kill, rob, and cover up the evidence. You've already wiped away all the evidence for me, so what do I have to worry about?"
