Chapter 293: Chapter 223: Yan Zilei’s Desire to Cry but No Tears (Third Update)_2

Xu Yibai nodded, "I still owe you three favors." As he said this, a comforting smile lay on his face. The words were spoken leisurely, as if subtly reminding Mu Lin, in fear that she might have forgotten them.

Frankly, he was indeed worried that Mu Lin would forget. After all, she had saved countless lives, and perhaps, many people owed her favors or conditions. Yet, she never lacked for such things.

In her self-effacing view, she meant nothing special, at most just another person among the multitudes she had saved.

Hearing this, Mu Lin’s lips lifted slightly, "Rest assured, I remember." She did not need his reminder.

"That’s good." Xu Yibai nodded. He had initially thought that when he met Mu Lin again, he might have a lot to tell her. However, now that he had finally met her, he found himself at a loss for words.

Yan Zilei mused.

If the subordinates of Xu Yibai’s company saw him in this state, they would undoubtedly be shocked. Who would believe that decisive, ruthless figure of the business world could suddenly seem like a young boy experiencing the stirrings of first love in front of Mu Lin?

Wow, such a change, it was almost too much.

They chatted casually for a while. Originally, Ya Yan intended to stay and accompany Mu Lin, but in the end, she was taken home by her elder brother. When they left, they also took Yinz along with them.

Seeing that she liked Yinz, Mu Lin let him stay with her for some time, considering she would be in Ming City for quite a while.

As for Qiaozi, he saw Yinz’s departure as a cause for celebration. He wouldn’t complain if Yinz didn’t come back at all.

He really couldn’t stand him.

...

The next day, B City, Military Area.

The sky was somewhat overcast, and it was just after lunchtime, the time for siesta.

A small hut in the woods, this was Mu Lin’s room.

Jing Chen lay quietly on the large bed, inhaling the scent that exclusively belonged to Mu Lin. He had been sleeping in her room since last night.

More than that, without Qiaozi and Yinz’s squabbles, Jing Chen suddenly felt that his home with Mu Lin didn’t feel like a home anymore, since Mu Lin was not here.

With his eyes closed, he seemed to have fallen into deep slumber. But it didn’t take long before the ringtone of his phone disrupted the silence.

"Hmm." He casually received the call, his voice low.

"Boss," Xigua’s voice sounded in his ear.

"What’s up?" Jing Chen asked in a low voice.

"Isn’t it the day when sister-in-law and the others are assigned to their units? Where is she?" They had waited the entire morning, yet there was no sign of Mu Lin, so they simply had to make this call.

Xigua complained that they had waited anxiously the whole time, all but on tenterhooks, yet sister-in-law was nowhere to be seen. They had intended to ask about it during the morning training but decided against it. But during lunch, they heard the chats of the recruits.

They were saying that Mu Lin was no longer in the military area as early as this morning, she didn’t even gather for the assignment.

Could it be... the special forces from other places came to snatch her from them! If they found out which unit dared to snatch their people, they vowed to wipe out their nest!

They even dared to poach people from their boss! They must be tired of living.

Hearing Xigua’s words, Jing Chen casually replied, "Linlin went to Ming City for the time being, she can’t join just yet." He wondered how she was doing over there. Once his words were out, his thoughts again wandered far away.

Ming City? Xigua frowned.

"What is sister-in-law doing in Ming City?" Could it be that the Naval Marine Corps from Ming City had come to claim Mu Lin? After all, they knew what happened during the last outdoor survival training. Their sister-in-law had fiercely intimidated and humiliated those guys. She couldn’t have caught the eye of those people, could she?

Xigua reckoned that if it’s Jing Tian, Jing Chen’s younger brother, he might have the guts to poach people from their boss.

It must be said, Xigua had really overestimated Jing Tian.

Jing Tian posited that if it were an ordinary soldier, he might dare to compete with his elder brother. But if it’s his elder brother’s future wife... sorry, he didn’t have the guts, even if his nerve was reinforced, he dared not. He cornered no desire to dig his own grave after all.

Not answering Xigua’s question any further, Jing Chen simply advised them to train independently in the afternoon and then hung up.

Hearing the dial tone from his ear, Xigua was somehow speechless.

He suddenly had the inkling that he detected a note of complaint in their boss’s tone.

Not good! What exactly was sister-in-law doing in Ming City? She should at least elucidate matters to them! Surely, she wasn’t poached, was she?

...

Ming City.

After Mu Lin had just finished lunch with Qiaozi and returned to her room, she received a call from Hong Mingsheng. After some polite greetings, they quickly got to the point.

After all, his father’s health was the most important thing.

"Okay, have the car wait for me at the hotel entrance, I’ll be down in five minutes." Mu Lin spoke indifferently.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Hong Mingsheng thanked her profusely. As soon as he hung up, he began making arrangements right away.

He had initially intended to simply ask for a favor, since the Hong family’s mansion was located in a relatively suburban area. Driving from there to the City Centre would take at least half an hour. He didn’t want his father to be upset anymore, but to his surprise, Mu Lin agreed.

The acceding response from Mu Lin, who was infamous for her peculiar temperament, startled Hong Mingsheng a little.

But then again, he realized that they couldn’t predict the thoughts of the mystical Mu, the legendary doctor with a peculiar temperament. So he stopped overthinking it.

All they needed to do was to avoid incurring her displeasure.
