Seeing Xu Mu stand up, Meng Wanyue beside him also prepared to get up.
But Xu Mu pressed on her shoulder and made her sit back down. "I can handle it alone."
After saying that, Xu Mu left with Jiang Huihui and Nangong Yao.
Compared with the liveliness inside the banquet hall, it was much quieter outside.
Under the streetlights, only a few security guards could be seen standing in the distance.
Jiang Huihui glanced at Xu Mu and said calmly, "The man just now is Dai Xiao, from a reclusive family."
"He is the incarnation of evil and always bullies others."
Nangong Yao covered her left eye and deliberately said in a low voice.
"I know."
Xu Mu nodded slightly.
"If you encounter danger, remember to call me."
After saying that, Jiang Huihui straddled her electric bike.
Nangong Yao beside her climbed on and sat in the back, hugging Jiang Huihui's slender waist.
"Huihui, you're so nice to me." Xu Mu showed a smile.
"Don't think too much. It's just my duty."
Jiang Huihui took out a piece of bubble gum from her pocket, tore open the wrapper, and stuffed it into her mouth. "Let's go."
"Goodbye! My kindred spirit!"
Nangong Yao also waved to Xu Mu.
Xu Mu watched their departing backs and showed a faint smile.
According to the original plot, the conflict between the Dragon King and the Dai family was described in many chapters.
So, Xu Mu was also very familiar with the internal situation of the Dai family.
He had various ways to deal with the Dai family.
He turned around and went back to the banquet hall. Just as he sat down, Mu Qingying came over with a glass of wine and sat in the seat where Nangong Yao had been.
She mustered up the courage to talk to Xu Mu on her own initiative. "Xu Mu... Thank you for helping me out this time."
As she spoke, she drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.
Hearing this, Guo Xiao sitting beside them nodded secretly. So Mu Qingying was not Xu Mu's girlfriend.
"We're all from Jiang City. I don't want to see him bullying us. However, I seem to have caused a big problem."
Xu Mu deliberately said this in order to make Mu Qingying owe him more favors. "He is Dai Xiao from the Dai family. In terms of assets, the Dai family is the first in Jiangbei."
Hearing this, Mu Qingying's beautiful eyes trembled in surprise. No wonder her father was so nervous.
She really didn't know the other person. She rarely came to Yang City.
She went to school in Jiang City before high school and went to Yanjing after college. It could be said that she knew more people in Yanjing than in Yang City.
Unexpectedly, the other person's family was so powerful. Wouldn't the Xu family be no match for them?
Mu Qingying was full of regret at this moment. Why did she look at Xu Mu at that time?
Wasn't she involving him?
However, Xu Mu didn't deny it. Instead, he let his good friend admit to helping her out.
Thinking of this, black words appeared above her head.
[Favorability +20]
Guo Xiao beside her also showed an admiring expression towards Xu Mu. He really didn't misjudge the person.
In the face of the Dai family, the first in Jiangbei, he didn't fear power and dared to protect his fellow villagers from Jiang City. He was so charming.
[Favorability +10]
"Xu Mu, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have looked at you just now."
Mu Qingying was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
If the Dai family was going to deal with the Xu family just because of her, she didn't know what to do.
"What's the use of apologizing now that things have already happened."
Xu Mu waved his hand. "I'll figure it out on my own."
...
Xu Mu didn't plan to continue eating. Calculating the time, Ye Tong must have gone home.
He bid farewell to Su Ruiming and prepared to go home with Meng Wanyue.
Su Ruiming couldn't leave for the time being because his father, Su Weiye, was still drinking with Xu Shou.
The two of them had reached a verbal agreement before and were going to cooperate in Yang City.
Xu Mu and Meng Wanyue came to the car. A BMW 5 Series beside them was backing out.
The voice of a middle - aged man came into Xu Mu's ears.
"Does Li Yun agree... Can't you threaten her with her job? Forget it. I'll go there right now."
Xu Mu only heard this sentence intermittently, and then the car drove away.
After getting in the car, Meng Wanyue drove back to Jiang City.
Xu Mu leaned back on the passenger seat and thought something was wrong. Although the name Li Yun was quite common.
But before, Li Yun had specifically said that she was coming to Yang City to look for a job.
Thinking of this, he still decided to make a phone call to ask.
After dialing, Li Yun's voice came from the other end. "Xiao Xu, what's the matter?"
"Auntie! Are you in Yang City?" Xu Mu asked.
"Yes, I'm having dinner with my friend. The company's leader is coming later." Li Yun's voice came from there.
"Which restaurant are you in?"
"I'm having Japanese cuisine at Huayang International Hotel..."
Just as Li Yun was speaking, she said apologetically, "Xiao Xu, I'll hang up first. My friend said the leader is coming soon. I'll call you back later."
Xu Mu looked at the hung - up phone, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Meng Wanyue. "Turn around."
He didn't hear the whole sentence clearly, but he heard a key word clearly, which was "threaten".
He still decided to go and have a look. If he didn't encounter anything, it would be okay. But since he heard it, he definitely couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
...
On the other side.
Li Yun's classmate, Zheng Yan, turned off her phone.
"You should show respect when the leader comes later." Zheng Yan returned the phone to Li Yun.
"Okay."
Li Yun nodded slightly. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you think he will help us? Don't tell me we have to pay him off just to get a job."
"Don't worry. He doesn't lack money."
Zheng Yan shook her head with a smile.
Ten minutes later, the door of the private room was pushed open. It was Wu Shengqi who came.
When the two of them saw him, they quickly stood up, all with smiles on their faces.
"Mr. Wu is here."
"Sorry. I was having a meal with some top businessmen in Jiangbei just now."
As Wu Shengqi said this, he couldn't help puffing out his chest. "Those people can't even get on the table if their net worth is less than hundreds of millions."
"Sure enough, you're Mr. Wu. You know so many big businessmen."
Zheng Yan flattered with a smile. "Sit down quickly. We haven't even touched our chopsticks. We've been waiting for you."
"Let's eat."
Wu Shengqi sat down voluntarily and looked at Li Yun with a smile, deliberately asking, "Why did you call me here?"
"We just want Mr. Wu to make an exception for me. My family is in a difficult situation and I really need this job."
There was a pleading look on Li Yun's face.
"I heard from Zheng Yan that you've been alone all this time?" Wu Shengqi asked with a smile.
"Yes. My husband died early. There are only my daughter and me in the family." Li Yun nodded slightly.
"What a coincidence. I'm also single, and I have a son at home."
As Wu Shengqi spoke, he gave Zheng Yan a look.
Zheng Yan understood immediately and immediately clapped her hands and said, "What a coincidence! Li Yun, aren't you and Mr. Wu a perfect match? Once you get married, you'll have children of both genders!"
"No, no. I'm used to being alone for so many years. Besides, I'm not worthy of Mr. Wu." Li Yun shook her head.
"Li Yun, you're so beautiful. You're more than worthy of me."
Wu Shengqi ate a piece of sushi and said indifferently, "I heard you're in debt. At your age, what kind of good job can you find?"
"Mr. Wu is right. At your age, no one will want you except for physical labor. You don't even have the capital to open your own shop. Do you?"
Zheng Yan tugged at Li Yun's arm and said, "In my opinion, it would be great if you just marry Mr. Wu right away. You'd instantly become a wealthy wife."
"I haven't agreed to get married right away. Before getting married, we definitely need to live together in a trial marriage and get along for a while to see if we're a good match," Li Yun replied.
Wu Shengqi looked at Li Yun with a beaming smile and said, "Miss Li, you don't want to miss this job, do you?"
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
