“What men in black? I’ve worked at the Mu Corporation for so many years and have known Old Man Mu for a long time. How come I’ve never heard of any men in black in their family? Isn’t Mu Nanxun just accompanied by a simple-minded bodyguard named Xiao Fang?” Ji Nian spoke first.
"Heh, I think he's just putting on a show," Xia Quan'an picked up where Ji Nian left off, saying, "I know the men in black from the Mu family, they're just a few bodyguards. These days, how many bodyguards would dare to actually fight? Last time we failed because something went wrong with my daughter. Hmph, next time I make a move, I'll bring my daughter back to the Xia family, and Mu Nanxun can just wait to die!"
The man shook his head dismissively, finding it amusing. "You're someone who almost became related to the Mu family through marriage, yet these men in black aren't as bad as you think. They're not just ordinary bodyguards. On the contrary, each of them has come through gunfire and has real skills. The assassins you hired are no match for them."
"Then let's find our top assassin. I refuse to believe we can't handle a mere Mu Nanxun," Ji Nian said resentfully.
"As far as I know, Old Master Mu has also suddenly returned to Philadelphia. And he's been very low-key this time. I suspect he might have already gotten wind of something. Maybe the two of you have already been exposed."
"What did you say? That old man is back too?!" Ji Nian was unaware of this. Not only Ji Nian, but Xia Quan'an was also unaware.
As he spoke, the man stubbed out his cigarette and exhaled softly. "Mu Nanxun is a lion, and so is Old Master Mu. With two lions combined, do you really think a few lowly assassins can do anything to them?"
"So what do you suggest we do?"
"To bring down the Mu family, we must first find their weaknesses. This matter requires careful planning. Let's cooperate well and none of us should act rashly. I have a way to deal with them. I am not interested in the Mu family's assets, businesses, or status. I have only one request."
Upon hearing this, Ji Nian and Xia Quan'an exchanged a glance and asked, "What are your requirements?"
The man's eyes flickered, somewhat unfocused, as if drifting into the distance. But in an instant, his thoughts returned, his eyes once more icy cold. "My demand is this: you are not allowed to touch Mu Wenya. I want her."
"Haha, so you like that girl." Xia Quan'an and Ji Nian were relieved. "But I really didn't expect you to have that kind of taste. Mu Wenya is sickly and can't be left in a wheelchair all day. There are plenty of women in the world, why do you have to like someone like her? Isn't that just asking for trouble? Hahaha..."
Xia Quan'an chuckled awkwardly a few times before stopping, because he noticed the man's gaze was filled with murderous intent, as if a sharp knife was pressed against his throat, preventing him from laughing. The atmosphere in the private room became quite awkward.
Ji Qingnian coughed twice, breaking the silence, and said to the man, "You seem to know a lot about the Mu family. Who exactly are you? Also, what grudge do you have with the Mu family, and why are you helping us? And this Mu Wenya, do you know her before?"
He asked a whole bunch of questions, but the man seemed not to hear them. After a while, he got up from the sofa, elegantly dusted off the smoke on his clothes, and spoke in a deep voice that sounded as if it came from underground.
