"Uncle Qin, why have you been so good to me all this time?" Li Mu asked, her voice choked with emotion.

But this problem stumped Qin Yin. He couldn't very well implicate the little girl, since he had fallen for her four years ago.

At first, Qin Yin thought he was just interested in the little girl, but over time he found that he had fallen in love with her.

After waiting for a long time, Qin Yin still didn't speak.

Li Mu looked up, her eyes brimming with tears. "Uncle Qin, why aren't you saying anything?"

Then why do you think I'm nice to you? Hmm?

"Is my question so hard to answer?" Qin Yin countered.

I felt that Uncle Qin treated me very well, even better than Qin Luochen.

Qin Luochen? How could he possibly compare to you? If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be my future wife. Qin Yin thought to himself.

Hehe, I'll give you a gift tomorrow.

Uncle Qin, you still haven't answered me.

Qin Yin's eyes darted around, his tone was unclear, and he came up with this sentence and then said it.

Maybe it's because you evoke a protective instinct in me, making me subconsciously want to protect and cherish you.

Is that so? Li Mu was somewhat skeptical.

Otherwise, who do you think it would be? You're such a cute little girl, everyone would want to protect you.

are you hungry?

Li Mu was confused by this abrupt shift in topic.

Qin Yin spoke again.

are you hungry?

I nodded. Hmm, I'm a little hungry.

Okay, let's wait and see.

After saying that, he got up to cook, and half an hour later a sumptuous dinner was served.

After dinner, Li Mu suggested going to a bar for drinks.

Do you want a drink?

Hmm, I suddenly felt like drinking it.

I have a lot of wine here, may I drink it here?

Li Mu nodded.

Qin Yin brought over two wine glasses and a bottle of Eau-de-vie, and asked, "Is Eau-de-vie alright?"

Sure, as long as there's something to drink, that's fine.

Qin Yin poured a cup and handed it to Li Mu.

Li Mu took a sip.

Is that okay? If it doesn't taste good, I'll get something else.

No need, Uncle Qin, I like it, it's delicious.

With that, Li Mu downed his drink in one gulp.

Qin Yin smiled and said, "Then why don't you sit on the sofa?"

If I drink while sitting on the floor, I'll get so drunk I'll just collapse. If I sit on the sofa, what should I do if I fall off?

Besides, your carpet is thick and fluffy, it's very comfortable to sit on.

Li Mu said jokingly.

"What you said makes a lot of sense," Qin Yin said, and then sat down on the ground with Li Mu.

The two always had something to talk about, chatting and drinking, one glass for you, one glass for me.

And then...

What do you think happened? It must be that Li Mu is drunk.

If you're going to watch, at least keep your mind pure.

Qin Yin picked up Li Mu and carried him back to his bedroom, gently placing him on the large bed.

She covered her with the blanket, then lay down herself, turning to her side and quietly watching him.

I watched it, and then I fell asleep.

In her sleep, Li Mu smelled a faint sandalwood scent, and subconsciously leaned closer and put her arms around Qin Yin's waist.

Qin Yin also instinctively hugged Li Mu.

When Qin Yin woke up and subconsciously got up, he found the little girl hugging his waist. He smiled and gently moved his body.

Qin Yin, now free, shook his head helplessly. Looking at the little girl's rather peculiar sleeping posture, he was truly curious how she could fall asleep like that, though she seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.

Qin Yin watched for a while, then went to wash up and then went into the kitchen to make breakfast.

Li Mu was awakened by the aroma of food. She opened her eyes and looked around. Where was she?

Could this be Uncle Qin's room? The black, white, and gray color scheme of the house confirms it.

Without thinking too much about it, I washed up and left the room. Seeing the breakfast on the table made me even more hungry.

The little girl is awake. Did you sleep well?

Okay, sit down.

He then pointed to the orange juice on the table.

Drink this glass of orange juice.

Li Mu obediently drank the glass of orange juice.

"Let's eat," a basket of crystal shrimp dumplings was pushed in front of Li Mu.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, Li Mu bid farewell to Qin Yin and went to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Assistant Yao immediately went up to report to Li Mu. General Manager Mu had previously given a speech to Manager Tian before heading to the Wang Group.

"Yes," Li Mu nodded. "His resignation was something I had expected long ago."

Wang Sicheng, the eldest son of the Wang Group, was detained for causing a traffic jam while speeding on the road. He was later found to have committed rape and murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment.

Wang Cheng, chairman of the Wang Group, is currently under investigation by tax authorities for suspected tax evasion.

Other members of the Wang family are also undergoing layers of investigation by various departments, and the Wang Group has also fallen into crisis.

Wang's Group's stock price fell, hitting the daily limit down today.

It's estimated that the Wang Group is not far from bankruptcy.

Upon hearing that the Wang Group was going bankrupt, Li Mu fell into deep thought.

The phone rang, and Li Mu took out his phone. He saw that the caller ID showed the name "Uncle Qin".

Li Mu waved to Assistant Yao.

Assistant Yao tactfully withdrew.

Li Mu answered the call; it was Uncle Qin.

Do you like this gift, little girl?

What gift is Uncle Qin referring to?

What a generous gift from the Wang Group!

Did you, Uncle Qin, ruin the Wang Group?

This was just a trial run; targeting the Wang Group was a good start.

Qin Yin said casually.

Let's test the waters? The Wang Group is the largest conglomerate in City C.

It just vanished like that?

You didn't think much of it; you believed they deserved it all, and that if they hadn't done it, nothing would have happened.

I didn't think much about it; I just wanted to know why you chose to target the Wang Group.

Do you remember the last time you almost got hit by a car?

I found out that it was Wang Chenggan from the Wang Group who did it, so naturally he was my first choice.

Hearing Qin Yin's nonchalant words, she choked up a little.

"Thank you," Li Mu murmured softly.

You know I don't want to hear those two words.

Work hard and remember to come home for dinner.

Uncle Qin, I'll look for you tonight.

good.

That evening, Li Mu knocked on Qin Yin's door.

Qin Yin opened the door from the inside.

Li Mu walked in and silently went to the sofa.

Qin Yin found it strange that the little girl was sitting silently on the sofa with her head down.

He then sat down next to Li Mu.

I didn't disturb her or say anything; I just watched her quietly.

After a long while, Li Mu raised his head and slowly spoke.

You were there for me when I was lonely, when I was sad, and when I was in danger, but I didn't notice before.

Uncle Qin, do you remember the note you gave me when you left?

Yes, I remember.

Uncle Qin, after you left, I felt like I lost something inside me.

You called me today and told me that the downfall of the Wang family was a gift from you, and I think I've figured it out.

Uncle Qin, I think I might have fallen for you. Little by little, you've quietly entered my heart.
