"I……"
Mu Wenya was speechless for a moment, her anger still burning, and she hurriedly pushed her wheelchair away from the dining table.
She worried that if she stayed any longer, Mu Nanxun would see through her thoughts. She knew the assassin had been arrested because Ding Zhi had told her. However, she couldn't let anyone know that Ding Zhi had broken into her room; otherwise, no matter what Ding Zhi's reason was, Mu Nanxun and the old man wouldn't let him off easily.
Perhaps because she was too flustered, Mu Wenya lost her balance when she turned her wheelchair to step out the door, and it looked like she was about to fall to the ground along with the wheelchair.
"oops……"
Mu Wenya screamed and instinctively closed her eyes.
This terrified Li Ma and the others, who rushed forward to help Mu Wenya. But they were all too far away from her; even if they ran, it would be too late.
Just then, a nimble black figure darted out and caught Mu Wenya's rapidly sliding figure, rolling on the ground and stopping in the courtyard.
When everyone saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Miss, are you alright?" the man in black asked with concern.
Mu Wenya shook her head, "I'm fine."
Then, the man in black picked up Mu Wenya and placed her in a wheelchair.
Mu Nanxun, who rushed over, looked rather grim. In the Mu family, the man in black was ultimately just a bodyguard, and besides, men and women shouldn't be so close. Even though he was trying to rescue Mu Wenya, he shouldn't have made such direct contact.
After setting Mu Wenya down, the man in black immediately bowed his head and said to Mu Nanxun, "Young Master, I know I was wrong. Miss is a woman of noble birth; I shouldn't have touched her so casually!"
"You are..."
"It has nothing to do with him." Mu Nanxun stepped in to help the man in black, "He saved me, he is my benefactor, and I should thank him. If you want to punish him, then punish me as well."
Mu Nanxun had a headache. From childhood to adulthood, Mu Wenya had always unconditionally supported any decision he made. Now, however, she had offended him because of a man in black.
“Young Master, I think Miss is right. The man in black didn’t mean to offend Miss, so please don’t punish him.” Aunt Li also stepped in to smooth things over.
Mu Nanxun's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and his sharp eagle eyes were fixed on the man in black.
Was it not intentional? If catching Mu Wenya was instinctive, then what did it mean by picking her up so naturally? It felt like a provocation.
"May I have your name?"
Mu Nanxun stepped closer and met the man's gaze. He recognized the face. The man was bowing his head, appearing very respectful, but the way his eyes looked up seemed to suggest something else…
"Ding Zhi. Young Master, my name is Ding Zhi."
"Ding Zhi?" Mu Nanxun repeated, quickly searching the name in his mind.
"Boss, I know him."
Xiao Fang said.
Xiao Fang usually has a lot of contact with the men in black and is quite familiar with them.
Upon hearing this, Mu Nanxun nodded, signaling him to continue.
"Boss, this Ding Zhi was brought back by the eldest young lady many years ago. It seems that Ding Zhi was almost beaten to death on the street, and the eldest young lady sent someone to rescue him and bring him back. At the time, the old master did not agree, saying that the Mu family could not take in people of unknown origin. However, the eldest young lady insisted, and Ding Zhi later showed that he was very well-behaved and honest, so the old master sent Qingyun to teach him some kung fu and let him stay in the Mu family as a black-clad man."
"Yeah?"
Mu Nanxun looked at Qingyun behind him with a questioning gaze.
