Chapter 1346 Confident and Charming
Yun Xi opened the car door to get into the back seat and looked at Mu Feich, who had shown up here today. She quickly squeezed herself into the car to warm up since the heater was turned on.
When Yun Xi finally felt a little warmer, she narrowed her eyes and inched closer to the man beside her. “Why is the Young Commander here? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t participate in what I was doing?”
Before she’d rolled out her scheme today, she had asked him if he wanted to come to watch the show. A certain someone had replied arrogantly that he was too busy.
However, she did not expect that the person who had said he would not come would wait here for so long and miss the good show.
What Yun Xi did not know was that Mu Feichi had seen everything that had happened on the forest road. He had been just one step ahead of them and had been waiting there.
This young girl had many good tricks up her sleeve. She had even trained the wife of the kidnapper to act and kept it from him.
The woman’s acting was not bad, and she had been extraordinarily brave. Han Wanling’s bodyguards had used their guns illegally, and there were even bullets in their guns.
However, if Han Wanling had shot the kidnapper’s wife to death, her victory would not have been good enough.
Even if they won in the end, it would have been equivalent to losing.
Mu Feichi snorted lightly and turned his head. His proud, handsome face still had some traces of seriousness. “You’ve included everyone in your scheme. If Han Wanling had really shot that kidnapper’s wife to death today, how were you going to clean up this mess?”
Yun Xi blinked and looked at Li Zilan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. “I’ve thought about this, and I definitely believe in Instructor Zilan’s marksmanship. Since I set this up, I wouldn’t let that woman die. If she died, even if I won the scene and sent Han Wanling back to prison, I wouldn’t be too happy with the outcome.”
If someone had died today, the price would have been too high. To her, losing a life would be a loss even if she won the round.
Mu Feichi sighed helplessly when he met her stubborn, confident, and even victorious eyes. He seemed to see his past self in her.
She was so high-spirited, confident, and charming
This was only the first hurdle on her path to becoming the Young Commander’s wife. After this hurdle, she still had a long way to go in the future. He did not know how many obstacles she would have to face. It was a good thing that she could learn fast and grow.
“Why? Aren’t you happy that I won?”
This time, it had not been too dangerous. At least, she had not put herself in danger. She had considered all the arrangements in her plans, and she did not want anything to happen to her.
However, Mu Feichi still did not seem very happy.
“It’s not that I’m unhappy, but I’m worried.”
Mu Feichi raised his hand and touched her tender face. Her cold skin made him want to warm her with the warmth of his palm. His eyes were filled with worry and helplessness.
“If you push the Han family too hard, even a cornered dog will jump over a wall. If Han Hongbin is Crocodile, then sending Han Wanling to prison during the big four wealthiest families’ election is no different from slapping the Han family in the face. The outcome of this election has already been decided. The Han family will definitely be kicked out of the competition during the election of the big four wealthiest families. Knowing Han Hongbin’s character, he won’t let this go easily.” This was especially true since the socialite ball was about to start. If anything went wrong at this time, not only would she be caught off guard, but she might also be in danger.
“I know. This time, I have indeed acted a little hastily, but I had no choice because there was insufficient time. If I sent Han Wanling into jail after the big four wealthiest families’ election, I am not confident that the Han family would have been eliminated since they have the support of the Prime Minister. Only by giving the Han family a fatal blow at this time could the Qiao family stabilize their position and deepen the conflict between them and the Han family, thereby achieving the best effect of driving a wedge between the two families.”
