Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Illegitimate Son Mu Yan

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, kill her quickly..." Mu Yan turned around and pointed at Mu Qingyu: "She, she killed someone... so much blood... sob sob sob..."

Jin Qinjiu frowned in disgust, but Mu Xiaoxiao kicked him away without any politeness: "Get lost, you filthy thing, don't get my clothes dirty."

Mu Yan didn't feel humiliated. She was kicked away but crawled back, still sobbing.

Mu Qingyu's expression changed. She didn't sympathize with Mu Yan, but the words "dirty thing" that Mu Xiaoxiao had said deeply stung her.

With a flick of her left hand, Mu Qingyu sent a fiery serpent, crackling with lightning, hurtling toward Mu Xiaoxiao at incredible speed.

The fire snake burrowed directly into Mu Xiaoxiao's thigh, burning out black smoke as the electric current caused Mu Xiaoxiao's whole body to convulse, and her eyes rolled back.

Because of its electrical conductivity, Jin Qinjiu, who was holding Mu Xiaoxiao, was also not spared.

He could clearly feel the intensity of the electric current entering his body, and was greatly alarmed—what kind of superpower was this? Fire-based? Or lightning-based? Why was it all the same?

Of course, Mu Qingyu's intention was to teach a lesson rather than kill someone, and this was also the first time she used her newly acquired superpower.

"Mu Xiaoxiao, from now on you must remember what it means to be careful with your words. If you continue to say things that displease me, I will gradually cripple your legs, your hands, your appearance... I won't let you die..."

Mu Qingyu spoke these words calmly and slowly, but they were so authoritative that they left no room for argument.

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart trembled slightly; she felt fear. She knew that Mu Qingyu could easily strangle her, or even torture her!

She thought she had Mu Qingyu's secret and could use it to blackmail Mu Qingyu, but right now, she didn't dare to utter a single word.

Even Jin Qinjiu didn't seem to have any intention of standing up for her.

Actually, at the beginning, Jin Qinjiu really did have some intention of stepping forward. He used the short time of the conversation to assess Mu Qingyu's value and combat strength. However, Mu Qingyu's move just now dispelled his idea of ​​stepping forward.

He could tell that Mu Qingyu hadn't intended to kill anyone with her attack just now, but what if she had? How powerful would her attack have been?

Those who understand the times are wise!

So, regarding Mu Xiaoxiao's injury, he didn't say anything to Mu Qingyu, but instead said to Jing Chen, "Jing Chen, can you help treat her? I can exchange supplies for her."

Jing Chen gave a tired smile: "Sorry, it might take a little while. I just finished repairing this lady's arm. My powers need time to recover."

Mu Xiaoxiao was in so much pain that her eyes were brimming with tears. She didn't dare to make a sound and could only look at Jin Qinjiu with a wronged expression.

Besides the burns on her thighs, the most unbearable thing was the constant, throbbing pain caused by the electric current.

If the flames attacked her skin, the electric current attacked her nerves...

She really didn't understand why Mu Qingyu had become so powerful in this life! In her previous life, Mu Qingyu was clearly a useless person who needed to rely on Mu Qingrong to survive!

Jin Qinjiu had no choice but to call his men to treat Mu Xiaoxiao's wounds.

Fortunately, this was a hospital, and some of his subordinates were originally doctors and nurses at the hospital, so he still had some medicine on hand.

Only Mu Qingyu glanced at Jing Chen. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, Jing Chen innocently winked at Mu Qingyu.

"This man is really interesting," Mu Qingyu thought. He wasn't using his full strength; he was more than capable of treating Mu Xiaoxiao. But he clearly didn't want to treat her, or rather, he clearly didn't want to treat Mu Xiaoxiao right now.

"Miss Mu, I wonder what brings you to Qingshan Hospital this time? Are you chasing after Cheng Xijun?" Jin Qinjiu asked again after seeing Mu Xiaoxiao off.

Mu Qingyu's arrival has threatened his position at Qingshan Hospital. Jin Qinjiu hopes that Mu Qingyu is just a passerby.

"No, I didn't install radar, how could I know they were here in advance? It was just a coincidence. We encountered a zombie horde, came in to take refuge, and happened to see our enemy, so we killed him on the spot," Mu Qingyu said, raising an eyebrow at Jin Qinjiu, seeing through his thoughts at a glance.

She certainly won't stay here, but she won't leave immediately either.

Jin Qinjiu chuckled awkwardly, "That's quite a coincidence. I thought it was your ex-boyfriend who told you..."

"Huo Siyu?" Mu Qingyu wasn't angry when he mentioned her ex-boyfriend: "Where is that simp now?"

His tone was casual and dismissive.

Even though he was clearly cursing Huo Siyu, Jin Qinjiu still felt inexplicably choked. However, he still said, "Didn't you meet them? There's a hotel not far from the hospital. Xiaoxiao said they were there. Your parents were there too."

Oh wow! A hotel! Great, this adds insult to injury!

Even Han Yu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. They had a minor grudge against those people at the hotel! And the whole gossip sounded like a soap opera from a wealthy family!

Han Yu couldn't help but prick up his ears.

At this moment, Ji Qingqing pushed Mo Huaiyu's wheelchair back to the group, having ignored the gossip from before.

"Excuse me, I have a question." Mu Qingrong's voice suddenly interrupted. He pointed seriously at Mu Yan, who was sobbing softly on the ground, and asked Jin Qinjiu, "Who is he? Why does he call Mu Xiaoxiao 'sister'?"

Mu Qingrong stared at Jin Qinjiu, her eyes saying, "Don't tell me you don't know. He's already calling you brother-in-law, and you still want to tell me you don't know?"

Jin Qinjiu's face showed embarrassment again. As someone who knew a little about the Mu family, he said helplessly, "You must be Mu Qingrong, the eldest young master of the Mu family? His name is Mu Yan, and he is—your father's illegitimate son..."

Mu Qingrong's breathing paused for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew his father had some troubles, but he never imagined his father would have such a bastard son.

He suddenly turned to look at Mu Qingyu and suddenly understood the true meaning of his sister's words that night when she came to pick him up and told him, "Don't have any more hope for your father!"

He had always thought that his father only became restless after his mother passed away, but he never expected...

Mu Qingyu stepped forward and pressed down on Mu Qingrong's shoulder: "No matter what, you still have your sister."

Mu Qing took a deep breath, and after a long while, nodded.

"Where is my father? Is he still alive?" Mu Qingrong asked Jin Qinjiu again, her tone now much calmer.

"Xiaoxiao said they got separated before they met Cheng Xijun, and Mu Yan's mother died. You might have to ask Xiaoxiao for details," Jin Qinjiu said, adding that he had only heard bits and pieces of information himself.

He didn't know the specifics of what happened to those people.
