Chapter 357: Chapter 258 Learn from One’s Experience! (Second Update)_2

They had been speculating about Mu Lin’s identity, only realizing he was actually there to protect them as they learned about their recent dangers. Although, she couldn’t tell how powerful Mu Lin actually was. In fact, he seemed younger than her.

With a relaxed posture on the sofa, the curve at the corner of Mu Lin’s mouth had disappeared, his eyes showing a deeper ambition.

Now she’s just waiting for the poison "master" to walk into the trap, and then her mission will be over. She truly hoped the woman, who could make a ’Seven-day Return’ poison, would not let her down.

As for poison, she relished the rare opportunity to challenge someone who played with poison just like her. She didn’t mind battling it out.

As for the Red Scorpion, he was likely figuring out a way to deal with Mu Lin, or perhaps he was concocting an even stronger poison.

A showdown might be all Red Scorpion desires, perhaps what he really wants is Mu Lin’s life.

...

After sending Xiao Feng back the Xiao family, Hong Boyuan gallantly accompanied him into the Xiao family home.

A brother is there for encouragement.

"Grandpa, I’m back," Xiao Feng said, looking at the elderly patriarch of the Xiao family, his eyes slightly stinging with remorse for making the older man worry.

"It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back," replied the old man, his eyes displaying relief at seeing his unharmed grandson.

"Xiaofeng, I heard previously that they were going to detain you all for half a month. It’s only been four days; how did you get out so soon?" The patriarch had personally gone to inquire the next day after Xiao Feng’s incident and had tried countless methods over these few days, but no one could get him out. He had ultimately been left with no choice but to wait anxiously at home, worried for him.

"Grandfather Xiao, it was Mu Lin." Hong Boyuan stepped forward to explain, "I actually went to the police station today. I was just trying to get them to give me a visitor’s pass. I didn’t expect them to ignore me." Remembering that, he sighed, "But luckily, I ran into Mu Lin who was coming to see Ren Laifeng, then I followed her back in." Quite fortunate indeed.

"I was thinking of asking Mu Lin to plead for me, but she was the one who took initiative and asked Ren to release Xiao Feng." In fact, at that time, he had never thought so deeply about it, not realizing that Mu Lin had presumably understood his thoughts.

"Mu Lin?" The old man instinctively furrowed his brows, "You’re talking about the little Divine Doctor Mu who treated me?"

"Yes, she’s the one," Hong Boyuan nodded, "Ren refers to her as ’sister-in-law,’ and respects her much." So much so that it is almost obedience, which is indeed extraordinary.

" I see, I indeed should thank her properly some time." The old patriarch smiled gently, agreeing thoughtfully. His gut told him that Mu Lin’s identity was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

Sister-in-law? He had never heard of Ren having any siblings.

Often, the older generation’s intuition holds true; they usually think more deeply into matters than the youngsters.

"Heh heh, Grandfather Xiao, there’s something you probably don’t know." Hong Boyuan looked at the old patriarch, a strange grin on his face, and mischief in his eyes as they darted towards someone at his side.

"Hong, shut up." That jerk, he was preparing to spill his secrets, wasn’t he?

"What is it?" Seeing his grandson’s exasperated expression, the old patriarch appeared rather interested; he enjoyed seeing his grandson lively like this.

He shot Xiao Feng a glance, then continues animatedly, "Grandfather Xiao, you know why those fools were taken in this time, don’t you?" He was asking about the reason.

"I know." The old patriarch huffed and faintly glanced at Xiao Feng, "I told you not to mix with those people. You didn’t listen, and now you know your lesson, don’t you?" The patriarch understood his grandson’s character very well. He wasn’t bad, at least when compared to his other grandson, he preferred and cared more for Xiao Feng.

The mistake his son made was being borne by this child, and that son of his was still... He decided not to continue. In the old patriarch’s view, he didn’t care about others, he only knew this was his own grandson.

"Let me tell you... actually that day..." But before he could finish, his mouth was covered, "I told you to shut up." Did he want to watch him being beaten by the old patriarch?

Hong Boyuan thought, yes indeed; after all, Xiao Feng always relished in his misfortune when he was being scolded by his father.

"Xiaofeng, let Boyuan go." This was turning into a tug of war. Not decorous at all.

Although there was reprimand in his words, his eyes showed no displeasure. He was gratified that his grandson had such a sincere friend.

Friendship is not about quantity but fidelity. From how Boyuan was willing to rush to the police station, one could see the genuine friendship between them.

Listening to his grandfather, Xiao Feng hummed and refrained from stopping him. After all, even if Hong Boyuan didn’t say it, his grandfather would find out sooner or later. Given that, it was better for him to find out sooner. This time, he didn’t want to worry the old man anymore.

"Can I say it now?" Hong Boyuan looked at Xiao Feng, his handsome face beaming.

He snorted coldly, "Do as you please," and then turned his head away.

Seeing Xiao Feng’s gesture, Hong Boyuan laughed, "Grandfather Xiao, I’m about to tell you something, you can’t get angry." Hmm, he should still try to mediate for Xiao Feng a little.

After a pause, the old patriarch nodded. "Go on, I won’t get angry." Looking at Hong Boyuan’s face, it seemed like he knew something. Maybe it was time to hear it and take the chance to know a bit about the backgrounds of his grandson’s friends.

If deemed necessary, he might even have to personally go and apologize.
