Xiao Ran and Meng Wanyue

Hearing this, Xu Mu clenched his fists. This Ye Chen was simply courting death.

Although he had long guessed that Ye Chen would definitely make a move against Meng Wanyue, he hadn't expected him to make Xiao Ran do it.

"Xiao Ran, I know you can definitely get in touch with Meng Wanyue."

"Dragon King, what if I don't kill her?"

"Then you are a traitor. I... I won't kill you, but I will destroy your meridians and turn you into a cripple. I will take care of you for the rest of your life."

"Dragon King, I'll go!"

"Put the camera on right now. You cannot take it off until you've killed Meng Wanyue."

...

The recording ended there. Xu Mu leaned back on the sofa. He had to admit, Ye Chen's guess was spot on.

Xiao Ran could easily contact Meng Wanyue. After all, Meng Wanyue was completely defenseless against Xiao Ran.

Xu Mu called Zhong Qianqian back.

"Finished listening?"

Zhong Qianqian asked from the other end.

"Qianqian, you've done me a huge favor this time. Let's find some time to watch Thunder Fire Sword together."

Xu Mu hung up the phone after saying that.

Ye Chen was very smart to suddenly make Xiao Ran kill Meng Wanyue and have her put on a camera on the spot.

This eliminated the possibility of Xiao Ran warning Meng Wanyue in advance.

If the two really started fighting, Meng Wanyue would definitely ask why Xiao Ran was trying to kill her.

If too much was said, Ye Chen could judge from her words that Xiao Ran did indeed have the potential to pass information to Meng Wanyue.

When that time came, Ye Chen might fly into a rage out of humiliation and kill Xiao Ran.

Xu Mu understood Xiao Ran. She was different from Zhong Qianqian and wouldn't be easily pulled over to his side.

Perhaps she wouldn't even fight back when Ye Chen tried to kill her.

Xu Mu immediately dialed Meng Wanyue's number. It didn't take long for Meng Wanyue to answer.

"Brother Mu, what's wrong? Dai Xingluo and I are currently fighting."

Meng Wanyue's voice was crisp. Obviously, she had no idea what was about to happen.

"Come to the villa immediately. I have something important to discuss with you."

Xu Mu said in a solemn tone.

"Okay, I'll head back right now."

Meng Wanyue agreed from the other end.

Xu Mu hung up the phone, lay on the sofa, and stretched hard.

He only knew Ye Chen's storyline. In the future, Ye Chen would recruit several major powers; this person was indeed hard to deal with.

He was truly rejoicing that he had saved Zhong Qianqian last night.

If he hadn't known about this, both Meng Wanyue and Xiao Ran would have been in trouble.

...

Xu Mu dozed on the sofa for about ten minutes before Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo returned together.

"Brother! What happened?"

Dai Xingluo entered the living room first, taking the initiative to sit beside Xu Mu and hold his arm.

Meng Wanyue followed her in and sat on the opposite sofa. She had heard over the phone that Xu Mu's voice didn't sound right.

"Wanyue, we saved Zhong Qianqian yesterday, and today she sent me a recording."

Xu Mu opened his phone and replayed the recording from earlier.

Both Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo pricked up their ears to listen.

After listening to it, Meng Wanyue's face instantly turned pale. "Ye Chen! Damn it!"

"This Ye Chen is too hateful. Brother, we definitely can't let him die so easily when the time comes."

Dai Xingluo chimed in.

Xu Mu cast a sidelong glance at Dai Xingluo. One had to know that in the original plot, she had loved Ye Chen to the point of being unable to extricate herself.

But Ye Chen had no interest in her at all, and in the end, she had died by Ye Chen's hands.

"Brother Mu, it's a good thing we went to save Zhong Qianqian and found out the reason. Otherwise, if Sister Ran came to kill me, I really wouldn't be able to accept it."

Meng Wanyue's eyes were a little red. "What should I do?"

"Xingluo, Wanyue is too involved to see clearly. You tell us your thoughts."

Xu Mu patted Dai Xingluo's shoulder.

"Ye Chen's goal is to determine whether Xiao Ran is a traitor. Because Xiao Ran is being monitored the entire time, she definitely can't tell you openly."

Dai Xingluo pointed at Meng Wanyue and said, "When the time comes and you guys fight, don't talk nonsense."

Meng Wanyue nodded. It was true; Ye Chen would be watching from behind.

If she dared to mention that Xiao Ran had notified her of information several times, Ye Chen would definitely not let it go.

"If she really comes looking for you, the only thing you can do is fight her. Fight for real, fight to the death."

Dai Xingluo continued, "Only in this way will Ye Chen believe that Xiao Ran is innocent."

"But weapons have no eyes..."

"Do you want her to die, or do you want her to get injured?"

Dai Xingluo looked at Meng Wanyue and asked.

Meng Wanyue was left speechless.

"Wanyue, I have a suggestion. If the two of you really have to fight, pay attention to the pinhole camera on her body."

Xu Mu said with a smile, "After destroying it, I think you'll at least be able to whisper a few words to each other."

"Right!"

Meng Wanyue nodded vigorously.

"Be careful not to say too much. I feel that besides the camera, Ye Chen might also be observing nearby."

Xu Mu reminded her.

"I know, I will measure my actions."

As Meng Wanyue spoke, her phone suddenly vibrated. She took it out for a look and found that it was a call from Xiao Ran.

"Answer it. Let's see what she wants to say first."

Xu Mu asked with a calm expression.

Meng Wanyue nodded gently. After answering the call, she directly turned on the speakerphone.

"Wanyue, where are you right now? I want to chat with you."

Xiao Ran's voice came through.

"Sister Ran, I'm at home. What do you want to chat about?"

Meng Wanyue said into the phone.

"It's not convenient to talk over the phone; let's meet up and chat. I'm currently outside the city. I'll send you the address."

Xiao Ran said from the other side, "It's best if you come alone. I don't want anyone else to know about this matter."

Meng Wanyue glanced at Xu Mu and then said, "No! If you want to meet me, I definitely have to notify Brother Mu. Sister Ran, I respect you, but you are my enemy now, and I don't want to fall into a trap."

Xu Mu gave a thumbs up. This Meng Wanyue was getting better and better at speaking.

"Up to you. I'm currently below the mountain road outside Jiang City. I'll send you the address, and I'll wait for you here."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

"Brother Mu, I'm still afraid. Sister Ran said before that she and Ye Chen practically depended on each other for survival abroad. I'm afraid she will really try to kill me, but I..."

At this point, Meng Wanyue suddenly lowered her head.

"Wanyue, I really don't like giving my own people multiple-choice questions, but at this time, I have to do it."

Xu Mu stared at Meng Wanyue and asked, "Between me and Xiao Ran, who is more important in your heart? You can only pick one."

"Of course it's Brother Mu!"

Meng Wanyue didn't hesitate in the slightest.

"Good. I order you to stay alive. Nothing is more important than your life."

Xu Mu stood up and said, "Do you understand?"

"Brother Mu... I understand."

Meng Wanyue's eyes were slightly red as she nodded heavily.

"Then let's set off!"

Xu Mu said indifferently.

This time, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not make a move.

If he intervened this time, Ye Chen would definitely try again next time. He needed to let Ye Chen know that Meng Wanyue was also an expert.

Trying to use Xiao Ran to take her down was impossible.

"Brother, I'm going too."

Dai Xingluo said with a smile.

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

The three of them took Meng Wanyue's Wuling Hongguang and left the villa area together.

Shi Fumeng stepped out from a corner. "Where is this Xu Mu going with two girls?"

She memorized the car's license plate and quickly followed them, determined to catch him red-handed.

...

Arriving at their destination, a Yangwang was parked by the side of the highway.

Xu Mu used his perception to scan the area and discovered that Xiao Ran was just below the road.

"Brother Mu, I'll head down first."

Meng Wanyue opened the car door and leaped down. In the blink of an eye, she caught sight of Xiao Ran.

"Wanyue, Xu Mu is here, isn't he?"

Xiao Ran was wearing an overcoat, leaning against a large tree as she sat there. The single eye she had exposed was dim and completely lifeless.
