Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mu Qiannian sat in the driver’s seat and instructed her subordinates. The pen in her hand moved very quickly, and her subordinates did not dare to be negligent. She sat and waited. She had even thought about how much money she would ask the Su family for, but she did not expect that the last piece of news would be…

“Boss, that grandson is in the hospital. He was beaten up and seriously injured…”

“Huh ?”

——

“F*ck it, do you know how to bandage a wound? I’m in so much pain!”

When Mu Qiannian rushed to the hospital in her high-heeled shoes to watch the joke, Pei He was wrapped up like a dumpling and thrown onto the ward.. One of his feet was hung up by a cast, and he was being treated by the doctors and nurses.

When Pei He saw Mu Qiannian, he was still a little angry when he thought of the scene in the morning. However, he did not dare to really scold her. He only dared to hold his anger and say, “What are you doing here? You’re not welcome here.”

“Oh, you have already broken your leg. Why are you still so stubborn?” Mu Qiannian pulled out a chair and sat down on it like a big shot. She glanced at Pei He lazily with a mocking look on her face. “I’m healthy and tough, so of course, the hospital does not welcome me. Unlike you, who got beaten up like a pig.”

“…” Pei He was choked to the point that he could not speak. He could not get his breath down. “What are you doing here?”

Mu Qiannian brushed her hair and said casually, “I’m here to kidnap you.”

Pei He,”…Are you being polite?”

“But after I came here, I realized that you might not be as important as you make yourself out to be.”

If it was as Pei He said and that he was an important middleman for the Su family to recognize their biological daughter, then how could the Su family just sit back and watch as Pei He was beaten up by someone seeking revenge?

Mu Qiannian looked at the configuration of the third-class and second-class wards, then looked at Pei He and came to a conclusion. “You are not worth much.”

Pei He was speechless. She was being too impolite!

“I am a person who pays attention to efficiency. I can not come here for nothing.”Mu Qiannian glanced at him. For some reason, Pei He felt his scalp go numb and subconsciously wanted to avoid Mu Qiannian’s gaze.

“I’ll give you two choices —”

“One, hand over all the information and clues regarding the eldest daughter of the Su family.”

Pei He’s expression immediately changed and he frowned.

This was absolutely impossible…

What a joke. Pei He had relied on the eldest daughter’s incident to barely be able to get in touch with the Su family. He wanted to build a relationship with the Su family so that he could get into the rich and powerful circle.

Mu Qiannian was so arrogant that she actually wanted him to hand these things over to her for no reason. What right did she have? Dream on!

Mu Qiannian glanced at him coldly as if she could see the coldness in his eyes. She said succinctly, “Of course, you can choose not to hand them over or hide a few important clues.”

“In that case, I’ll give you a second choice.” Mu Qiannian glanced at the other half of his good leg. “I’ll remove that good leg of yours.”

Pei He’s face turned purple. He was extremely humiliated. He held his breath and refused to nod his head no matter what. He looked like a brave man who could cut off his head and bleed.

Mu Qiannian did not wait for him. She directly took the scissors from the nurse’s medical kit and started removing the cast on Pei he’s injured leg without saying a word. Pei He’s face changed greatly in fright, but Mu Qiannian was calm and collected, and she was even mumbling.

“Removing your leg won’t take much effort. Just hitting it with a steel pipe will do.”

“You can’t count on me to carry you down with your broken leg. Once the cast is removed, I’ll get someone to drag you down from the fifteenth floor.”

“It’s not good to drag someone down using the elevator. It’ll scare people easily. I’ll drag you down from the stairs of the fifteenth floor.”

“…”

Before Mu Qiannian could finish removing the cast on his leg, she heard Pei he’s trembling voice, “Don’t remove it, I’ll say it…”

Mu Qiannian had achieved her goal. She smiled slyly and her hands slipped.

“Don’t remove my cast!!!!”

Pei He was in so much pain that he howled on the hospital bed. Mu Qiannian felt very comfortable listening to him.

Mu Qiannian threw the scissors back to their original position and returned to her seat with a smile on her face. She looked at him while smiling from the corner of her lips.

Pei He stared at Mu Qiannian angrily. Suddenly, he was attracted by someone behind Mu Qiannian.

Pei He stared at the man in horror and pointed at Pei Mingchen. “You… Why did you follow me here?!”

Mu Qiannian turned around in confusion and saw Pei Mingchen leaning against the door, waiting for her.

Mu Qiannian asked curiously, “What?”

Pei He met Pei Mingchen’s eyes. Even though his eyes were calm, he still subconsciously looked away.

When Pei He was getting beaten up, Pei Mingchen’s words saying that he would kill or make Pei He cripple rang in Pei He’s mind.

Mu Qiannian’s curiosity was piqued when she noticed that Pei He was subconsciously avoiding Pei Mingchen’s gaze. This Pei He had always been arrogant and domineering. Why was he still afraid?

Could it be that something that she did not know had happened?

Mu Qiannian’s curious gaze landed on Pei He’s broken leg. She glanced at Pei He and asked, “Is your leg related to him?”

Pei He nodded. When he met the man’s gaze, he shook his head violently. Mu Qiannian was confused by this action.

“What do you mean? If it’s him, then it’s him, If it’s not him, then it’s not him. What is it?”

Pei He was also anxious. He wanted to say something but did not dare to say it. His words were stuck in his throat, “I… I’m not sure either. It seems to be him. I can’t remember clearly. It shouldn’t be him.”

Mu Qiannian, “…” What the hell was this b*stard saying?

“Don’t spout nonsense. If you want to find someone to take the blame, how dare you blame It on my men?” Pei Mingchen had been with her the whole time.

Mu Qiannian frowned, but Pei He was anxious. “I already said that I’m not sure. He does look like you!”

Thinking about what happened this morning, Pei He was both angry and scared. ‘Pei Mingchen, this b*stard, just wait!’ When Pei He recovered from his injuries, he would be the first to be attacked!

The problem was that he still did not know why he had offended Pei Mingchen. He had been beaten up for no reason.

Pei He was also innocent.

Mu Qiannian was silent for a moment. Just as she was about to ask Pei Mingchen, Pei Mingchen put his hands in his pocket and walked toward her lazily.

“Don’t accuse a good person wrongly.” Pei Mingchen was very frank. “How could I send someone to beat you up? We have no grudges between us”

Pei He was speechless.

After Pei Mingchen said that, Pei He watched helplessly as Pei Mingchen revealed a pitiful look. He looked at Mu Qiannian aggrievedly and said, “He’s wronging me. Niannian, I’ve been with you all morning.”

Pei Mingchen paused and looked pitiful. He looked at Mu Qiannian innocently and continued, “Niannian, I believe that you won’t suspect me because of others, right?”

Mu Qiannian’s eyes were charmed by his beauty and she nodded in agreement. “How can that be? I don’t trust everyone, but I trust you!”

Pei He was stunned when he heard her shameless words.

His face was wrapped in bandages, so he could not really see her face. However, he could probably see her rough outline.

The tone of their conversation made Pei He feel a chill and goosebumps rose all over his body.

He thought of Mu Qiannian’s cold and unreasonable attitude when she said that she wanted to remove his leg earlier, and then he looked at the situation now.

Pei He almost vomited blood.
