After returning to the villa in Rongjing Garden, Mu Shanshan immediately set to work bandaging Lin Fei’s wounds.

The scrape hardly registered with Lin Fei, but seeing Mu Shanshan’s serious attitude, he could only let her proceed.

After disinfecting with alcohol, Mu Shanshan carefully wrapped Lin Fei’s arm with gauze.

Once she was sure there were no issues, she packed up the medical kit and put it back where it belonged.

“Hey, being cared for so tenderly by my wife, this injury was worth it.”

Lin Fei, touching the bandaged area on his shoulder that Mu Shanshan had just wrapped, said with a grin.

Mu Shanshan looked at Lin Fei’s nonchalant demeanor and said with a hint of wistful complaint, “You’re always so flippant.

Do you have any idea how worried I was about you just now?”

“How worried?” Lin Fei moved closer to Mu Shanshan.

Unlike usual, Mu Shanshan didn’t push him away or dodge backward, allowing Lin Fei to come close, “I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but I always feel like our relationship has grown much closer.

You definitely wouldn’t have let me get so close to you in the past.”

“Not now either!” Mu Shanshan’s expression turned frosty as she coldly said, “Don’t flatter yourself, Lin Fei.

I’m only worried about you because if something happened to you while you’re with me, it would be hard to explain to your grandfather.”

“So that’s how it is, got me excited for nothing.” Lin Fei’s expression fell, then he quickly changed the subject, “But I need to explain what happened tonight to you, my dear wife.”

“It must be Mu Shaopeng who hired someone to kill you and silence you.”

Mu Shanshan’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this, unable to believe that Mu Shaopeng would be ruthless enough to want her dead.

“But don’t worry, my dear wife.

I should be able to get the evidence of Mu Shaopeng hiring someone to commit murder by tomorrow.

Then the initiative will be in our hands.”

Mu Shanshan looked intensely at Lin Fei, her expression odd.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Lin Fei asked her.

“Why keep staring at me?”

“Lin Fei, I can’t see through you.”

“What’s there to see through?”

“You know, the first time I saw you, I thought you were just a poor kid with nothing.”

“I still am,”

Lin Fei said with a laugh, thinking of his financial situation.

Mu Shanshan shook her head, continuing.

“But lately, your behavior has been too abnormal.”

“Starting from the kidnapping, I felt like you were unusual.

It’s already unbelievable that you rescued Yu Wenjie from the Mercenaries by yourself.

Plus, you seem to have an extraordinary relationship with Jin San, and then there’s today’s incident.

It’s not something a normal person could achieve.

How should I put it…”

Mu Shanshan struggled to organize her thoughts but didn’t know how to express them.

“You’re a very strange person, seeming quite ordinary, yet you always surprise people.”

Lin Fei had no idea how to explain.

He didn’t want to reveal his true identity to Mu Shanshan yet because it wasn’t necessary; they might be going their separate ways in six months anyway.

“I’m just an average person.

I know Jin San because of my father’s connections.

As for the rest, if you think about it carefully, they’re not that remarkable, right?”

Lin Fei truly felt that things like rescuing Yu Wenjie were just trivial matters for him.

Mu Shanshan knew Lin Fei didn’t want to say more, so she didn’t press further.

After wishing each other goodnight, they went back to their own rooms to sleep.

The night passed without incident.

The next day was business as usual.

Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan arrived at the hotel and went about their respective duties.

As usual, after giving instructions to his subordinates and inspecting the work, Lin Fei hid in his office and started playing with his phone.

By the end of the workday, Lin Fei unexpectedly didn’t receive an invitation from Shen Lexuan, but he was rather happy to have some leisure time.

So he left the office straight away, took a taxi to the place he had agreed to meet Lin Feng the day before.

Upon arriving, Lin Fei found Lin Feng waiting by the roadside.
