Chapter 1000: Chapter 666: Mu Lin in Jing Ye’s Eyes (First Update)

All of this enlightenment, in fact, all stemmed from Chinese Medicine.

"We’ll go check it out when the time comes," he had already arranged for someone to watch over the specific location and inform him immediately if anything happened.

Mu Lin nodded. Jing Chen looked at Ye Xiwen with a faint gaze, "If your vacation is over, then rejoin the team."

If it weren’t for Mu Lin’s sake, Jing Chen really couldn’t be bothered to do so much.

"Yes, Boss!" Ye Xiwen saluted Jing Chen with a straight military salute, satisfaction written all over her face.

She once thought she might never be able to return in this lifetime, yet unexpectedly, she still got this opportunity; all of this, Ye Xiwen was fully aware, was entirely because of Mu Lin.

The debt she owed him seemed to be growing ever larger.

The Ye Xiwen of the past never imagined that if it weren’t for her initiative back then, there wouldn’t be the Ye Xiwen of today.

Back then, she merely wanted to find a place to hide for a while.

Gratitude filled her eyes as she looked at Mu Lin.

"What about you guys? Had enough fun?" Looking at Jing Youlan and the other person, Jing Chen’s cold eyes were chilling, indicating their personal activities should come to an end.

"We’ll rejoin the team immediately." Without hesitation, he turned and returned to the team, pulling Ye Xiwen with him; the Boss was truly terrifying.

Afterward, while everyone was still in shock, Ye Jianfeng was taken away, and the drama of the evening thus came to an end.

After such an event, they knew that the Ye Family was probably finished as of today, except for Ye Xiwen, the Ye Family’s young miss. Gao Hongqin and her daughter had caused trouble for so long, and now they ended up with nothing left, a fate they well deserved.

You might have a chance to save yourself if you provoke the police, but if you provoke the military, especially when General Jing personally leads the team, then there’s probably not even a 0.01% hope left.

Although they didn’t hear clearly what exactly Ye Jianfeng did that he shouldn’t have done.

Everyone sighed, and Mr. Li, watching Mu Lin and his group walk away, felt a lingering fear, thankful that he hadn’t completely fallen out with them; otherwise, he might be the one suffering now.

He lightly touched the corner of his eye and suddenly felt a wave of darkness before him, thinking that he must be tired from the narrow escape, he decided to hurry home.

As for Bai Xiajun, Ye Xirou, and Gao Hongqin lost everything overnight, and so did he. However, for him, perhaps it was a good thing; the former him indeed valued everything too much.

He laughed at himself with a self-deprecating smile, turned, and left the banquet hall. Gradually, other people also began to leave one after another; everything that happened this evening would probably be unforgettable for them.

As for the Ye Family’s mother and daughter, they sat on the ground, still unable to snap out of it.

They could never have imagined that everything would turn out like this.

Then five minutes later, the police arrived, and right before Ye Xirou’s eyes, Gao Hongqin was taken away.

Actually, before they came in, Sankiu had already reported to the police and had also sent the evidence to the police station.

In the end, it all came down to one phrase: "Vengeance may be delayed, but it will come—eventually."

...

After leaving the scene, Ye Jianfeng was taken away by Ying Sun’s team, and by the next morning, Jing Chen brought Mu Lin to a remote suburban house.

"They’re here." The place wasn’t very populous, just a dozen or so old houses, and at the very back of these houses stood a villa that was strikingly out of place. Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "Quite ostentatious, aren’t they?"

"They do know how to pick a location. Building a villa among ordinary people, one would think the villagers, even if curious, wouldn’t have the courage to provoke or observe anything." These people were really good at exploiting human psychology.

"Hmm," Jing Chen nodded, and the two of them, now in casual clothes, strolled leisurely towards the village.

In S City, this was truly considered a very remote village. Jing Chen had never thought that S City, being at the forefront of development, would still have such old and outdated places. There were just a few scattered houses, and all together, there were probably only a few dozen people; mostly elderly or middle-aged, as most of the young people must have already gone out to make their careers.

Mu Lin and Jing Chen, both of them being attractive and carrying a good aura, caused a stir as soon as they entered the village. Some of the elders watched curiously, wondering how people from such different backgrounds had come to visit their place.

Just then, a middle-aged woman approached them, looking at the two with a twinkle in her eye and praise in her voice, "You two are really handsome." It was the first time she had seen such good-looking young men and women, "Are you a couple?"

Mu Lin felt once again the warmth of the people in the remote village, just like the time she first went down the mountain alone to barter for food and encountered the people at the foot of the mountain. Those people were also incredibly warm, so much so that it had been almost overwhelming for her back then.

Mu Lin did not feel comfortable at that time, but now, she seemed to have gotten used to it. She just smiled lightly and nodded, "Yes."

Jing Chen frowned, correcting, "We’re married."

Mu Lin: What’s the difference between a couple and spouses?

Boss: The terms are different.

Mu Lin: ...

Upon hearing Jing Chen’s words, the middle-aged woman laughed even more, "So you’re already married. You look so well-suited to each other. If my son also brought home a wife as beautiful and polite as you one day, I’d be so happy."

She couldn’t help but think of her own son, who was always out in the city and seldom came home.

Mu Lin responded with a smile, "He will."

Boss declared: That’s impossible! There is no woman in the world better than his wife, not even one as beautiful.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and in Boss’ eyes, there was likely only Mu Lin.

Afterward, the middle-aged woman asked Mu Lin why they had come to such a secluded village. Mu Lin simply stated they were tired from driving and decided to stop for a rest, and upon seeing the village below, they thought of taking a walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery that the city lacked. The woman, who held Mu Lin in high esteem, had no doubts and continued to heap praise on the area.

Although the city was definitely great, their place was not bad either, with fresh air and the fragrance of birds and flowers—it was indeed ideal for rest and rejuvenation.

Mu Lin looked somewhat helpless at the woman in front of her, as her nonstop chatter from beginning to end was relentless. Boss kept a straight face, but Mu Lin listened with great interest.

However, at that moment, a man came running from not too far away, panting and bending over as he stood next to the middle-aged woman, "Sister Zhang, something’s... something’s happened."

"What’s happened?" The woman immediately turned to look at the newcomer, her face fraught with worry—could it be...

Indeed.

"Old Master Li, did Old Master Li have another attack?" The man’s face was full of helplessness. He took a breath, then inhaled deeply to calm himself before continuing, "Ever since his grandson went missing a month ago, he has an episode almost every few days, insisting on looking for the child, and always heads towards that rich man’s mansion. Several times we almost couldn’t stop him. You know, Sister Zhang, we can’t get close to that place." They had not been near without cause; the people inside were downright fierce, and if they accidentally offended them, it could spell trouble for all of them.

"Sister Zhang, should we take him to see a doctor?" The man urged. This couldn’t go on, everyone in the village had their own work to do, they couldn’t be constantly troubled just for his sake.

Everyone needed to eat; like him, he had left half-finished work and had run here to spread the word.

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Well, that’s the way it has to be." Turning to Mu Lin and Jing Chen, she said, "Girl, you roam around by yourselves for a bit, I’ve got things to tend to." To tell the truth, she quite liked this exquisitely beautiful young woman before her.

However, upon hearing her words, Mu Lin looked at her with curiosity, "Sister Zhang, do you have a sick person here?" That was perfect, "I happen to be a doctor." An idea formed in Mu Lin’s mind.

Just now, hearing about a child missing a month ago and the word ’mansion,’ Mu Lin thought that perhaps she should take a look. The people here had been living here for a while, and she might learn about some small incidents from them.

Moreover, isn’t it true that a doctor regards his patients with a parent’s heart?

Mu Lin looked at Jing Chen, who nodded slightly.

They had people watching over them and were not in a hurry.

Sure enough, upon hearing Mu Lin volunteer, the middle-aged woman was thrilled, feeling incredibly lucky. Without a second thought, she hurriedly led Mu Lin towards the place where Old Master Li was.
