"So what exactly happened to you?"
"Everything was fine at first, but as it got dark, I thought I'd bring the young lady back. But my heart was pounding the whole way. I kept feeling like someone was following me. It was dark, and when I turned around, I couldn't see anything. But when I turned around again, I could feel someone behind us, watching us."
Upon hearing this, the old man rolled his eyes. "I thought it was something serious. You're acting all silly. Have you been taking care of Miss too hard lately and haven't been sleeping well? Hurry up and take Miss back to her room, wash up, and go to sleep."
"No, sir, I really, really felt someone following us!" Li Ma was almost crying with anxiety. She could feel a pair of eyes watching them the whole way, which terrified her. If she weren't pushing the young lady in her wheelchair, she would have run away as fast as she could.
"Oh dear, I don't know how to explain this to you, but I'm absolutely certain that someone is following us. And that person only went as far as the entrance to the villa area, probably knowing there were men in black, and then stopped following us. Master, young master, I swear, what I'm saying is absolutely true! Thinking about how assassins came to the villa a few days ago, I'm scared. Is it because they failed last time and are coming back again?"
"Big sister, what do you say?" Mu Nanxun asked Mu Wenya.
Mu Wenya shook her head. "I don't feel anything, but I know that Aunt Li wouldn't lie, and I believe her."
“Mmm-hmm!” Aunt Li nodded in agreement.
The old man's expression turned serious. Things hadn't been peaceful at the villa lately, and he couldn't rule out the possibility that Li Ma had mentioned.
"Xiao Fang..." Mu Nanxun called Xiao Fang to his side in a deep voice, "Go and take a look outside the villa area. Also, ask the men in black guarding there if there's anything unusual."
"Yes, boss."
Xiao Fang turned and disappeared into the night.
"Qingyun, you go too." The old man called to his subordinate. Qingyun nodded and followed Xiao Fang out.
"Sit down." Mu Nanxun took Yi Yi's hand and sat down on the sofa. For some reason, Mu Nanxun suddenly remembered the Jade Palace case that the people at Rose Manor had mentioned, and a faint sense of unease rose in his heart. And there was Xia Quan'an's underhanded dealings. Of course, Xia Quan'an was narrow-minded and not a threat; the real fear was that there were others behind him.
In the past, he wouldn't have even blinked at any demons or monsters around him. But now it's different. He has concerns and worries, and for the first time in his life, he feels fear.
Yi Yi grasped his hand in return, as if she knew what he was worried about, and said with a sweet smile, "Mu Mu, I'm not afraid. I can also protect Sister Wen Ya, so don't worry."
“Yi Yi, you’re a girl too, you should be protected,” Mu Wenya said helplessly.
“Who says girls have to be protected? I’m very capable. I’ve participated in boxing competitions and even won the championship!” Yi Yi was always incredibly proud of this, and she jumped up from the sofa with a “whoosh.”
Mu Nanxun's forehead was covered in black lines. He pulled her down to sit and said in a low voice, "Your championship is too much of a rip-off. Be more low-key."
Yi Yi: "..." She was indeed lucky to win the championship, but good luck is also a reflection of strength, hehehe.
