"Hmph, this guy seems to have good intentions, but why was he so cruel when he attacked just now? He has no mercy on women at all. Ouch." Ye Yanran returned to the corner of the wall at some point. She rubbed her panda eyes and watched the scene from afar. She pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction.
The others saw that he was just a petty thief and there was nothing exciting to see, so they whispered a few words and then dispersed, but in the end some people still stayed.
"It's nothing, Mu Cheng, you should go back too. Get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's trial." Mu Hanyan thought that Mu Cheng stayed behind, so she didn't look back and waved her hand to send him back.
There was no movement behind him. Mu Hanyan turned around and found that in addition to Mu Cheng, there was another young man standing behind him. Mu Cheng was looking at him in confusion.
"My name is Wu Qiyun, a member of the Wu family of Nanxi. Nice to meet you, Mr. Mu." Seeing Mu Hanyan turning around, the young man bowed and said.
Seeing that he was dressed simply but had a dignified demeanor and was neither humble nor arrogant, Mu Hanyan developed a good impression of him.
"Mr. Wu, you are too polite. Do you know Wu Songxing?" Mu Hanyan asked straight to the point.
Wu Songxing was the Wu family steward who had made Mu Hanyan a fortune by competing with the Zhu family in the capital for the griffin egg. Wu Qiyun was also from a wealthy family, so he wouldn't have the audacity to visit in the middle of the night. Therefore, Mu Hanyan guessed that he had some relationship with Wu Songxing.
"Yes, I have heard of Mr. Mu's great name from Manager Wu. Manager Wu praised Mr. Mu highly. Today, I was fortunate enough to see Mr. Mu's elegance with my own eyes in the restaurant. However, he left before I had the chance to say hello. I happened to hear the noise at night and came to see him, so I decided to say hello as well." Wu Qiyun said with a smile.
"Mr. Wu, you are too polite. It's better not to mention my reputation. It's not a glorious thing." Mu Hanyan was really embarrassed to be proud of her reputation as a prodigal son, a playboy, and Mu Siyi, so she said politely.
"Haha, Master Mu is being too modest. People in this world are ignorant and only know how to spread rumors. Rumors may not be true. If Master Mu is really as despicable as the rumors say, why would he care about Mu Feng's life or death today? If I'm not mistaken, he resents you so much that he probably just wants you to suffer. And just now, the so-called thief you mentioned should be the female thief. After all, she got into trouble just to help him.
Being hated so much, yet still offering a helping hand, even at the risk of getting himself into trouble, if that's considered dandy behavior, then I think a true villain is far better than a hypocrite." Wu Qiyun said with a hearty laugh.
"Mr. Wu, thank you for your compliments. I wonder what advice you have for me coming here so late at night?" Mu Hanyan was not overwhelmed by Wu Qiyun's praise, but instead became more alert.
Over the years, under her father's deliberate arrangement, she had always concealed her true identity by wearing the halo of a dandy young master. Although Wu Qiyun had said it lightly, if he hadn't paid close attention to her, he might not have said it. As the saying goes, "Three people make a tiger, many mouths melt gold, and everyone else is drunk, but I am sober." It's easy to say, but it's not an easy thing to do.
Besides, if someone is too nice to her for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. She didn't think that Wu Qiyun came over in the middle of the night just to praise her.
"Mr. Mu, please don't misunderstand. I came here because I actually have something to discuss with you." Wu Qiyun said, noticing Mu Hanyan's wariness.
"Mr. Wu, please speak."
