Gu Xiyan didn't know whether Yu Linglong was serious or just joking with her words, but she couldn't see through her thoughts from her smiling expression.
Gu Xiyan nodded lightly and said indifferently, "I won't regret it, the word 'regret' isn't in my dictionary. You'd better hurry up and chase after him. If he really is the Divine Doctor, you'll be in luck."
...
While Gu Xiyan and Yu Linglong were chatting and joking around,
On the opposite side of the street not far away.
Wang Huanhuan, who had completely become a loser in the confrontation with the brand company backed by Trotsky after losing both her husband and her troops, was standing there, continuously observing the movements here.
After losing terribly because of a pair of worn-out boxer shorts, Wang Huanhuan had completely hated Mu Jinyu, the owner of those boxer shorts.
Therefore, after knowing that Gu Xiyan was going to look for the owner of the boxer shorts, she had been stealthily following and silently observing...
Standing on the opposite side of the street, Wang Huanhuan watched as Gu Xiyan and Yu Linglong re-entered the boutique, and a trace of cold light stealthily passed through her eyes.
In her mind, at that moment, the images of the earlier conversation between Mu Jinyu and Gu Xiyan resurfaced, as well as the scene where Gu Xiyan took out the plastic bag containing those boxer shorts and asked Mu Jinyu about them.
"That man must be the owner of those boxer shorts that Trotsky praised to the skies, right?"
Wang Huanhuan muttered to herself, starting to calculate in her mind how to deal with Mu Jinyu.
However, because she was standing on the opposite side of the street, she neither saw Xu Zhixin's humble attitude towards Mu Jinyu inside the boutique nor would she know that the reason behind the departure of the Xu Family's motorcade was actually for Mu Jinyu.
...
After parting with Gu Xiyan, Mu Jinyu naturally would not be aware of the subsequent conversation between Yu Linglong and Gu Xiyan.
Nor the ridiculous idea of Wang Huanhuan trying to deal with him beyond her ability.
But after separating from Gu Xiyan, he could sense that Xu Zhixin and his group were sneakily following behind him.
Mu Jinyu of course knew Xu Zhixin's thoughts: he wanted to follow him, then have Xu Tianzheng show up, and make the Xu Family members slap themselves a hundred times to persuade him to save Xu Tianzheng.
Heh, since he had made up his mind to leave them hanging for a few days, he naturally wouldn't just let them have their way.
The two members of the Xu Family he met today, one being Xu Huaguang with his malicious attitude, tried to kidnap him by force when he couldn't be persuaded, and the other Xu Zhixin, though respectful to him, still wanted to meddle in his personal interactions...
Not letting them learn a lesson, Mu Jinyu felt like he would be just dough, to be kneaded by them at will.
Arriving at the entrance of a small alley, Mu Jinyu slipped in, then quickly turned and left the alley before disappearing in the vicinity.
Xu Zhixin led his men to quickly follow, entering the alley, but they couldn't find Mu Jinyu's whereabouts. "Where is he?"
He pulled his hair in frustration, feeling as if he had lost track of him.
His bodyguards, one swiftly went to the alley's end to see if Mu Jinyu had run that way. The others were checking whether Mu Jinyu was in any of the various stores within the alley...
Soon, they all came back and reported to Xu Zhixin:
"He's not in any of the stores in the alley."
"He's not at the other alleys' ends."
"We've lost him."
"..."
Xu Zhixin stomped his foot in annoyance, about to say something when his phone suddenly rang with a ding-a-ling.
Upon checking, it was a call from Elder Master Xu.
The old master had arrived, but the person, had been lost.
Xu Zhixin was on the verge of tears without them flowing.
He truly regretted his momentary lapse of reason just now, attempting to sow discord between Gu Xiyan and Mu Jinyu, only to turn around and try to set up Xu Qingya.
...
After shaking off Xu Zhixin and his group, Mu Jinyu walked on the spacious street, casually tossing the keys to the five houses he had, the corner of his mouth raising in a smug smile unconsciously.
"Hehe, they still want to track me? Maybe in a million years," Mu Jinyu scoffed disdainfully.
Then, adjusting the bag that contained the suit in his hand, his eyes sharpened, and he came to a halt.
"Ah, it seems I forgot, since that woman Gu Xiyan has said it's all been written off, I should be able to return the suit openly and aboveboard, right?"
Mu Jinyu rubbed his head, somewhat regretful for having rushed off so hurriedly just now.
"Forget it, forget it, since the return wasn't successful, I might as well not do it; I don't want to encounter the same situation as just now, embarrassing myself over just over a hundred thousand yuan, it's not worth it. I'll keep the suit for now, not returning it, I'll wear it when the time comes," Mu Jinyu comforted himself.
Afterward, not letting his thoughts run wild anymore, he prepared to go find Wen Rou and tell her the good news that he had helped wipe clean her father's gambling debts, so she wouldn't have to work so hard in the future.
Looking around, Mu Jinyu wasn't quite certain of his location, but since he had a mobile phone, he quickly found the location of Wen Rou's restaurant with the map and started running in that direction.
Before long,
Mu Jinyu found Wen Rou's little restaurant.
Due to the Blond Thug, even though it was nearly noon, there were hardly any customers brave enough to come for a meal at Wen Rou's little restaurant.
After all, they didn't know that Wen Rou's trouble had been resolved.
Thinking of this, Mu Jinyu took out his phone and made a call to Wang Zhengbiao.
"Hello, Doctor Mu, what can I do for you?" Wang Zhengbiao's tone was still very respectful.
Mu Jinyu said, "My friend's restaurant has no customers willing to come eat because of your little nephew's business. Have that guy bring a group of people over and personally apologize to my friend."
"Okay, I'll get on it right away," Wang Zhengbiao agreed immediately.
Mu Jinyu didn't beat around the bush; once Wang Zhengbiao had agreed, he said no more and hung up the phone.
His logic was simple: the trouble was caused by the Blond Thug, and as long as the Blond Thug came with his fellows to apologize to Wen Rou personally, the neighbors would naturally spread the word upon seeing it, and they would know that Wen Rou's problems had been resolved.
By then, the old customers of the small restaurant would start coming back.
After the call, Mu Jinyu entered the restaurant. The main hall was empty, but there was some noise in the kitchen. He went in to look and saw Wen Rou busily organizing the freshly purchased ingredients.
Wen Rou always insisted on using the freshest ingredients bought on the same day, except for some frozen products. She never used leftovers from the previous day.
Even though these days, hardly anyone dared to come to eat, she still stuck to this principle, only just buying less of the ingredients.
Looking at the busy girl, Mu Jinyu showed a heartwarming smile, cleared his throat, and said, "Wen Rou, I'm back, and I've got good news for you. Guess what it is?"
Hearing movement, Wen Rou turned her head to look, and upon seeing that Mu Jinyu had returned, she meticulously sized him up from top to bottom. Seeing that he was unharmed, the concern that furrowed her brows dissipated, and her pretty face revealed a sweet smile as she said, "Your safe return is the best news indeed."
