Chapter 1229: Confidence comes from being loved
Qin Yuanqing was stunned by this question. He thought Jiang Mubai was just relying on Cheng Yunchuan's favor to gain some confidence and was always soft and easy to manipulate. But now her cold eyes like a blade actually made him feel a little cold.
When did this woman become so difficult to deal with?
He suppressed his inner discomfort and changed his tone: "Ms. Jiang, I am a businessman. I don't want to let the situation get out of control. I don't care about the mess you have on your hands. The key is, Ren Xueer, she cares."
Jiang Mubai's eyes turned slightly, and his ears keenly caught two key words: Ren Xueer. It seems that this guy is not alone after all!
"You have the nerve to hold me back by relying on the backing of a few dying men?" Jiang Mubai slid the phone screen with his slender fingers.
As if he didn't take Qin Yuanqing's threat seriously at all, even his tone was sharp as a blade: "Qin Yuanqing, I advise you to walk away while you can still stop."
Unexpectedly, her attitude of resistance directly ignited Qin Yuanqing's already short patience. He lowered his head and smiled and shook his head, at the same time raised his left hand and snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from all around.
Jiang Mubai's heart was immediately alarmed. She quickly glanced at both sides of the street and saw several extremely eye-catching black shadows approaching her.
Although she had never seen these people before, her concealed steps and similar figures allowed her to make an immediate judgment.
This is the Cheng family’s style. Are they going to take action?
A series of speculations quickly ran through Jiang Mubai's mind. It seemed that the Cheng family could no longer tolerate her and Cheng Yunchuan's overly close contact. Perhaps this was a test by Qin Yuanqing to deal with her, but it was more likely that someone was truly cooperating with Qin Yuanqing.
However, the most important thing is whether or not you can escape now.
Just as the shadow approached, a sharp brake sound suddenly sounded behind me.
A dazzling black SUV rushed over like a cheetah, blocking several people. Then, the car door was suddenly opened, and Cheng Yunchuan's stern face suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Mubai.
"Get in the car!" he said in a concise voice.
Being as courageous as Jiang Mubai, she didn't have time to hesitate. She quickly jumped into the car and pulled the door hard. Before she could sit firmly, a kick on the accelerator threw her backwards onto the back seat.
Qin Yuanqing was stunned for a second, then shouted: "Stop him! Don't let him run away!"
But Cheng Yunchuan had obviously anticipated this. The SUV was like a wild beast that had broken free from its reins, it passed through the blockers on the side and quickly weaved into the traffic.
Inside the car, Jiang Mubai rubbed the back of his head and glanced sideways at Cheng Yunchuan who was driving, trying to figure out whether this man wanted to save her today or had other purposes.
He stared straight ahead, his lips pressed into a cold line, and his deep voice sounded like the prelude to a storm: "Ren Xueer has taken action. What you have to do now is to obey."
Jiang Mubai's eyes darkened, but he still had a teasing smile on his face: "Cheng Yunchuan, I'm really curious, do you understand how much it will cost to help me?"
Cheng Yunchuan paused, then turned his head to look at her. The deep meaning in his eyes made Jiang Mubai's heart tremble inexplicably.
"I'm never afraid of the price I have to pay," he said in a low but meaningful voice.
The roar of the engine gradually faded away, and the car fell into an eerie silence.
Jiang Mubai now had the opportunity to take a good look at Cheng Yunchuan. The lines on his profile were taut, and the curve of his jaw looked particularly sharp in the dim light. The veins on the back of his hand holding the steering wheel were bulging, as if it contained tremendous power.
"Ren Xueer? Why is she targeting me?"
Jiang Mubai broke the silence, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "She and I are not related at all, right?"
Cheng Yunchuan slammed on the brakes and the SUV stopped on the side of the road. He turned around and stared at Jiang Mubai with burning eyes: "You really don't know?"
Jiang Mubai raised his eyebrows and gave him a look that said "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Cheng Yunchuan took a deep breath, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "You have been too popular recently, and you have blocked the way of some people. Ren Xueer is backed by the Qin family. You have ruined Qin Yuanqing's good deeds. It's not surprising that they teamed up to deal with you."
"The Qin family?"
Jiang Mubai sneered: "Qin Yuanqing, that idiot, I can crush him to death with just one finger. As for the Qin family, ha! I'm not afraid of them."
Cheng Yunchuan's tone carried a hint of warning: "Aren't you afraid? You underestimate the Qin family. They are not easy to deal with. This time is just a warning. Next time, they won't be so polite."
Jiang Mubai shrugged nonchalantly: "If the enemy comes, we will fight them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth. If I, Jiang Mubai, am afraid of them, how can I survive in the entertainment industry?"
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her fearless appearance, feeling both helpless and admiring. He knew Jiang Mubai was capable, but the entertainment industry was a deep pool, and one could be doomed if not careful.
"I will handle this matter." Cheng Yunchuan said firmly: "You should be careful recently and don't be alone again."
Jiang Mubai looked at him with a playful smile on his face: "Why, Mr. Cheng, are you going to protect me?"
Cheng Yunchuan's eyes flickered, and he didn't answer directly, but changed the subject: "Let's find a place for you to hide out first."
Jiang Mubai did not ask any more questions. She knew Cheng Yunchuan's character. If he didn't want to talk about something, you couldn't get the answer from him even if you asked.
The car started again and drove towards a private villa in the suburbs. Along the way, both of them were silent and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing.
After arriving at the villa, Cheng Yunchuan took Jiang Mubai into the house. The villa was luxuriously decorated, but also warm. It was obvious that someone often lived here.
Cheng Yunchuan explained: "This is my private residence. It is very safe. You can stay here with peace of mind. I will send someone to protect you."
Jiang Mubai looked around and nodded: "Not bad, better than I thought."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her with a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes: "Are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food."
"No, I'm not hungry yet."
Jiang Mubai rejected his kindness: "I want to rest first."
Cheng Yunchuan nodded and took her to the guest room on the second floor: "You can rest here. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Mubai walked into the room and closed the door, only then did she completely relax. She walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the scenery outside, and her mind was filled with thoughts.
After she was reborn, she wanted to keep a low profile and live a peaceful life, but she didn't expect to be involved in these disputes. It seems that some things can't be avoided.
At this moment, the cell phone rang suddenly. Jiang Mubai glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Lin An calling.
"Hey, An An."
"Sister Mu Bai, are you okay? I saw the news and it scared me to death!" Lin An's voice was full of worry.
"I'm fine, don't worry, it's just a small matter and it's been resolved." Jiang Mubai comforted her.
