Protect Mu Cheng

“Hmm, hmm~”

At this moment, Li Mucheng was still happily humming a tune while clinging to Ye Feng’s arm. She was overjoyed to have spent more time with him today.

“Miss, could you please loosen your grip a little? My arm is going numb,” Ye Feng said helplessly, as Li Mucheng had practically draped her entire weight on him.

Originally, he had planned to sit in the front passenger seat, but Li Mucheng insisted on sitting in the back, claiming it was for her own protection. Reluctantly, Ye Feng agreed.

But now, it seemed less about protection and more about using him as a cushion.

“Buzz.”

As the car moved, Ye Feng’s phone vibrated in his pocket—likely a reply from Xie Yuyan. However, with his right arm pinned by Li Mucheng, he had no choice but to wait until they got out of the car to respond.

......

“We’re here. Ye Feng, you and the young lady can get out first. I’ll park the car and join you shortly,” Ah Fu said.

“Alright,” Ye Feng nodded in response. When he looked out the window, he noticed that as soon as the car stopped at the entrance, a group of bodyguards surrounded it, keeping a vigilant eye on their surroundings.

Something was definitely wrong, and it seemed to be related to Li Mucheng.

Ye Feng turned to her with a serious expression. “Miss, make sure you stay close to me, okay? It looks like something’s happened. We need to get to Chairman Li’s office quickly.”

Li Mucheng finally released Ye Feng’s arm, sensing the tension in the air. Still, she felt inexplicably safe with him by her side.

“Then… you’ll have to protect me, Teacher~”

“Don’t worry.”

“Hehe~”

Just as Ye Feng was about to step out of the car, Li Mucheng suddenly grabbed his hand, intertwining their fingers tightly. The gesture caught Ye Feng off guard.

“M-Miss! What are you doing? Let go…”

“Oh, come on, Teacher! Didn’t you say I should stay *close* to you? That means sticking right by your side~”

Li Mucheng pushed Ye Feng gently with her other hand, trying to distract him. Meanwhile, Ah Fu, in the driver’s seat, stared intently at the steering wheel, muttering to himself.

“If this steering wheel were shaped like an airplane’s yoke, could I fly this car?”

......

In the end, Ye Feng had no choice but to walk hand-in-hand with Li Mucheng into the company building.

The security checkpoint was even stricter than before, with various scanning devices in place. Even the usually composed Ye Feng couldn’t help but frown. For someone as powerful as Li Jing to be this cautious, combined with the way they were treating Li Mucheng, Ye Feng had a rough idea of what was going on.

Meanwhile, Li Mucheng, oblivious to the danger, smiled foolishly to herself. In her heart, Ye Feng had already become the person she trusted the most.

*Teacher… just wait. I’ll uncover all your secrets one by one. When that time comes… our roles will be reversed, hehe~*

As they approached the security checkpoint, a tall bodyguard stopped Ye Feng.

“Apologies, Miss. Your companion here needs to go through the scanner.”

“No problem.”

Just as Ye Feng was about to let go of Li Mucheng’s hand, she pulled him back. “He’s my teacher. He doesn’t need to be checked.”

The bodyguard hesitated. After all, Li Jing had ordered that everyone entering the company be thoroughly screened.

“But Miss, the Chairman’s orders are…”

“I said he doesn’t need to! If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility. Let’s go, Teacher!”

With that, Li Mucheng dragged Ye Feng through the security gate. Ye Feng didn’t argue, letting her have her way.

*This girl… I thought she was starting to change, but she’s still the same as before.*

After taking the elevator, they soon arrived at Li Jing’s floor. Under the watchful eyes of several bodyguards, they made their way to Li Jing’s office.

“Miss, we’re safe now. Don’t you think you can let go of my hand?”

“Father, we’re here~”

Ignoring Ye Feng’s whisper, Li Mucheng knocked twice and quickly stepped inside.

“Miss, wait…”

Before Ye Feng could finish, Li Mucheng had already pulled him into Li Jing’s office.

“Oh, you’re here…”

Li Jing, who had been sitting in his office looking troubled, finally managed a small smile upon hearing his daughter’s voice. However, when he looked up and saw Li Mucheng tightly holding Ye Feng’s hand, his eyebrow twitched, and the words he was about to say died on his lips.

“Alright, Miss, surely you can let go now,” Ye Feng said quickly, noticing the awkward atmosphere.

“Hmm… fine~”

Li Mucheng realized she had no reason to keep holding Ye Feng’s hand and reluctantly let go. But before she did, she couldn’t resist brushing her finger against his palm.

“Ahem… Mucheng, take a seat on the couch. I need to have a word with this young man.”

“Okay.”

Only after Ye Feng sat down did Li Jing begin to speak seriously. “Ye Feng, the reason I called you here today is because something significant has happened in Shu City.”

“It’s related to Miss Li Mucheng, isn’t it?”

“Exactly.”

Li Jing gave Ye Feng an appreciative glance. Meanwhile, Li Mucheng, who had been sneakily admiring Ye Feng’s profile from the couch, suddenly focused on the conversation.

“You know that before you became Mucheng’s tutor, she was kidnapped once, right?”

“I’ve… heard about it.”

“At the time, Old Su and I investigated the case thoroughly, but we couldn’t find a single trace of the perpetrator—no fingerprints, no evidence. It’s clear this person is highly skilled in kidnapping, and we’ve been tracking them ever since.”

“……”

“However, during our investigation, we stumbled upon another group—a dangerous overseas organization. Their mission was also to kidnap Mucheng, but they were intercepted by that mysterious individual.”

As Li Jing spoke, his tone grew more serious, and the commanding presence of a leader emanated from him.

“This group’s target is also Li Corporation. Recently, I’ve learned that a highly skilled and ruthless team has entered Shu City. They’re so adept at hiding that my people haven’t been able to locate them. And I’m certain their target is Mucheng.”

Li Jing’s gaze shifted to Li Mucheng.

“They know that capturing me alone won’t achieve their goals. So, I’m asking you to protect Mucheng during this dangerous period. Will you do it?”

“This…”

Ye Feng was at a loss for words. He hadn’t expected things to escalate to this level.

The Day I Died, the Whole Sect Watched My Senior Sister Go on a Rampage

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
