“Yes.”
“How is this possible? How could the Sun family have the ability to hire mercenaries?” Qu Yaotao said in surprise.
“My subordinates have already gone to investigate this problem. Once they have the results, they will inform me immediately,” Yuwen Jing, who was standing beside Chen Meng’er, said.
“Those mercenaries are not in danger. Uncle Skinny has brought them back to the Green Gang. There should be some results soon.” Chen Meng’er was not worried at all. If the mercenaries were too tight-lipped, she could simply pry their mouths open. With her specially made powder, it was not a problem.
After hearing Chen Meng’er and Yuwen Jing’s words, the men in the room fell into silence and their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, Murong Ying could finally hold her daughter’s hand and express her concern and worry for her daughter. “Meng’er, are you alright? Did you get scared today?”
“Mom, I’m fine. Do I look like I’m scared? If anything, the one who got scared wasn’t me, but those mercenaries.” Chen Meng’er was speaking the truth, those mercenaries never thought that they would fall into the hands of a young girl like Chen Meng’er.
“It’s good that you’re fine. It’s good that you’re fine.”
Because of the calming tea that Chen Meng’er brewed for them, Elder Qu and Madam Qu had a good night’s sleep. Compared to Qu Yaotian and the others, Elder Qu and Madam Qu did not look too good.
Qu Yaotian and his brothers were thinking about the Sun family and the matter of the mercenaries, so they did not sleep well that night. And Qu Yaotao’s dark circles were especially obvious among these brothers. Qu Yaotao was still worried about his wife. This was the first time he had faced his wife and felt such helplessness.
Last night, his wife, Cao Feiying, had quarreled with him for half the night.
Towards Qu Yaotao, Qu Yaotian and his brothers had no other choice but to sympathize with him.
At the Qu family’s dining table today, the atmosphere was even gloomier than before. Although Han Ying and the others were usually extremely careful when they did things because they were afraid of offending Elder Qu, they had never been like today where they did not even dare breathe loudly.
Elder Qu, who was seated at the main seat, looked better when he saw Chen Meng’er.
“Lass, come, quickly sit down and eat breakfast. Let me tell you, I took the menu you gave me and asked the chef at home to cook it. Come and have a taste. How does it taste?” Elder Qu’s favoritism of Chen Meng’er was very open.
Elder Qu’s favoritism made Han Ying feel even more uncomfortable. However, with Cao Feiying as a warning, Han Ying didn’t dare make things difficult for Chen Meng’er anymore.
“Okay.” Just as Chen Meng’er agreed, Elder Qu’s security guard, Uncle Zhao, walked in hurriedly.
“Old Chief, someone outside said that they are looking for Little Miss and Young Master Yuwen,” Uncle Zhao said to Elder Qu.
When Chen Meng’er heard that someone was looking for her and Yuwen Jing, she knew that they were here to tell them about the investigation and interrogation.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er did not wait for Elder Qu to speak. She said to Uncle Zhao, “Uncle Zhao, let them in. They probably have information about what happened last night.”
Chen Meng’er’s words successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
“Let them in.” Uncle Zhao really wanted to follow Chen Meng’er’s orders, but he had no choice. He was Elder Qu’s security guard and only listened to Elder Qu’s orders. Therefore, he only went down after Elder Qu gave the order.
Chen Meng’er did not expect that the people who personally came to pass the news to her and Yuwen Jing would actually be Ah Biao and Allen.
The news Ah Biao and Allen brought was somewhat out of Chen Meng’er’s expectations. However, Chen Meng’er thought about it carefully, and it could be considered reasonable.
“Hmph, I was just saying how good Marquis Yuwen’s grandson can be. He’s like a butterfly, fooling around everywhere. Meng’er, come to grandfather’s side. Stay away from this kid.”
Yuwen Jing’s dark face became even darker because of Elder Qu’s words.
Chen Meng’er looked at Elder Qu’s stance of wanting nothing more than to chase Yuwen Jing out of the Qu family’s main gate and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If this matter had nothing to do with Yuwen Jing, it would have been fine. However, it really did have something to do with him. If Yuwen Jing hadn’t provoked the other party, the other party wouldn’t have come knocking on his door.
But if one were to say that it was Yuwen Jing’s fault, it didn’t seem to make sense. Speaking of which, Yuwen Jing really didn’t do anything ambiguous or misleading. This was completely done by the other party himself.
“Grandpa Qu, I will personally handle this matter. I will give you and Meng’er a reasonable explanation.” Yuwen Jing now had the intention to kill the other party. He had clearly seen the change in Elder Qu’s attitude before and after this. Now, all his previous efforts had been in vain.
“We will seek justice for this matter ourselves.” Elder Qu was like a child, turning his head to the side.
Elder Qu’s temper was hot, but what he said was quite pleasing to Chen Meng’er. After hearing the information that Ah Biao had investigated, she had a fire in her heart and was waiting to extinguish it.
“Yuwen, don’t interfere in this matter. I will handle it myself.”
“Meng’er, listen to my explanation.” After hearing Chen Meng’er’s words, a trace of panic flashed across Yuwen Jing’s face. Was Chen Meng’er also angry? He had always known that Chen Meng’er had her own stubbornness when it came to relationships.
The only thing he was afraid of was Chen Meng’er. He was afraid that Chen Meng’er would abandon him and turn around to fall into someone else’s embrace.
Yuwen Jing did not even dare think about that. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was going crazy.
“Yuwen, I know. You don’t have to explain.” Chen Meng’er interrupted Yuwen Jing. She really understood, even though she felt a little uncomfortable. However, her reaction made Yuwen Jing panic.
