Chapter 669: 441

Standing not far away, Mi Zheng watched Mu Lin, his face showing slight changes, the corners of his mouth imperceptibly raised in a wicked smile.

Zhou took a step forward, looking at his young master in an odd manner.

There was something strange about his young master today.

In Zhou’s eyes, Mi Zheng was a gentle, modest and honest person. However, he did not like to associate with others. If it weren’t for the fact that Zhou had been with him since childhood, he too would not have been able to get close to him.

Mu Lin was the first person Zhou had ever seen his young master take such a liking to. Even though Mu Lin didn’t seem to feel the same about his young master (despite the fact that his young master was remarkably handsome).

But the smiling face of his young master, hanging just a moment ago, seemed a little strange to Zhou. Yet he couldn’t fathom what exactly was strange about it.

Zhou didn’t know about Mi Zheng’s identity and didn’t want him to know either.

Not for any particular reason, he simply did not want to.

If there was anyone in the world for whom Mi Zheng had a soft spot, it would probably be Zhou, who had been with him through thick and thin.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou’s gaze was unmistakable; too intense to be ignored.

"Does the young master really like Mu Lin?" Zhou asked directly.

"Why would you ask that?" Mi Zheng responded calmly, glancing at him from the corner of his eye.

Zhou: "Just a feeling. I remember that you, young master, never liked getting too close to women since you were a kid." But this was not the case when it came to Mu Lin.

Hearing this, Mi Zheng gave a slight smile, "People change." He found Mu Lin to be the most like himself, birds of a feather flock together.

Zhou looked at Mi Zheng, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

So, has the young master changed too?

This question, Zhou didn’t ask out loud, his gaze shifted elsewhere.

He wondered, who exactly was the cop? Was today’s incident related to his young master? And why did Mu Lin get into a scuffle with his young master before?

All these questions were a big secret to Zhou.

...

"Thank you." After applying the medicine, Gong Yu returned the small box to Mu Lin.

"No need." Mu Lin’s response was detached, but he didn’t take the box back, "You don’t need to return it." He had a different kind of likeness for Gong Yu, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. As soon as he saw her hands, he instinctively produced the medicine from his pocket. Also, when he saw the assassin’s dagger about to cut her throat, he felt a surge of anger.

Was it because she had approached him for introductions in the beginning? Or was it because she was pure, both in looks and from heart, which reminded him of a baby rabbit, yet she was not a weak person.

Gong Yu knew how to defend herself. Though her skills were not high-level, she had the ability to protect herself, albeit she was a bit of a meddler.

That was Mu Lin’s impression of her.

Gong Yu didn’t know that while she kept her attention on Mu Lin, he was keeping an eye on her as well. If she knew about it, she would probably be elated.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, she paused, said thanks again, took back her hand, held the box tightly, and wore a radiant smile. She almost forgot about the scenario unfolding before their eyes.

The wound on her hand had stopped bleeding quickly, which amazed Quan Luo. The medicine worked wonders. He held Gong Yu’s hand and blew gently on it, as if he wanted to blow away her pain. Such a motion, childish yet warm.

Genuine care.

He watched the scene before him with a calm face.

The crowd nearby looked at Gong Yu, then at the two individuals who had died miserably on the ground.

They had been alive and kicking just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, they were lying dead here. The situation seemed eerily unnerving.

Seeing the scenario, many people thought that even though Gong Yu was injured, she was rescued. On the contrary, the two who had spewed harsh words just a moment ago were now lying lifeless.

What was all this implying?

It indicated that the cop had become irate due to their insubordination. Consequently, he saved only Gong Yu, but not those two.

Some thought they deserved it, some took delight in their plight, while others thought the cop was being selfish.

But they never thought that it was just a game, and why the cop necessarily had to save them; after all, he was not a real cop.

They were looking after their own interests, yet expected others to act selflessly. There’s no such righteousness in the world, yet they were demanding for it. They reckoned that even if these people knew that Mu Lin had saved them, the moment anything went wrong, Mu Lin would be the scapegoat.
