The crowd saw Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu off, completely unaware of Ruan Mingchu's purpose in calling them down.
"Is it telling us not to judge a book by its cover? He's over forty but looks like he's in his teens. If he went out and tried to fool people, probably no one would be able to tell the difference."
"That makes sense."
...
Fortunately, Nguyen Minh Thu did not hear their conversation, but even if he had, it would have meant that their trip was not in vain.
Mu Yu took Li Ye and Ruan Mingchu out for a walk, then brought them back.
“There’s a small room on the second basement level for resting. Let’s leave the person there for now,” Ruan Mingchu said.
Mu Yu naturally had no objections.
No one has ever rested in that small room on the second basement level since it was built, and naturally, no one has decorated it.
The marble floor, the gray-white walls and ceiling, and a sofa and low table in the center.
Mu Yu placed the person on the low table and looked at Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu understood immediately: "The medicine I got from Shen Huanli is said to be a counterfeit of the legendary sleeping potion. It will wake you up in about ten minutes."
After a pause, Ruan Mingchu added, "If you cover his head with cold water, he will most likely wake up now."
In the end, the two decided to wait for those ten minutes.
When two people can sit together in the same room and feel comfortable even without talking, their relationship has reached a certain level.
Mu Yu suddenly remembered what Gong Zhushen had said to him when he was reading a novel a long time ago. If what he said was true, then he and Ruan Mingchu were already very close.
However, they didn't have any close interactions.
Mu Yu's wooden-headed mind couldn't quite grasp it.
If he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't think about it. Mu Yu never made things difficult for himself. He focused his attention on the person in front of him.
As a wooden fish, Mu Yu has never understood any conspiracies or tricks, but he has a keen sense of danger.
This seemingly innocent middle-aged man in his forties exuded a dangerous aura.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Yu went out and upstairs to get a bundle of hemp rope from the storeroom.
An interstellar rope should, of course, have the dignity of an interstellar rope, such as being difficult to untie once it has bound a person.
Mu Yu tied Li Ye up in a serious manner, and finally tied a bow on her head.
Ruan Mingchu: ...
That's exactly what Mu Yu was capable of doing.
"Ahem," Ruan Mingchu cleared his throat, "Where did you learn this way of binding people?"
"A senior taught me," Mu Yu said, looking bewildered. "Want to learn? I can teach you."
Ruan Mingchu almost choked on his saliva: "No need, no need."
Mu Yu: "Oh."
After a while, Ruan Mingchu couldn't help but ask Mu Yu seriously, "Are you on good terms with your senior?"
He actually taught a junior how to use bondage techniques; he's clearly not a respectable senior. There are just too many hooligans in the military!
Mu Yu: "He's alright. He's retired. I haven't seen him in a long time."
Ruan Mingchu nodded. Judging from how Pastor Xiao Yu tied people up, he didn't seem like a decent person.
"Ugh... my head hurts... my shoulders hurt too." Li Ye finally woke up from her coma, not quite understanding what had happened.
He only realized he was completely bound when he tried to loosen his muscles and couldn't move.
Tears of grievance welled up in my eyes.
Looking across at the other side, wasn't that the very enthusiastic and talented person sitting there?
Goodness, thinking about his own experience, Li Ye suddenly didn't find him enthusiastic anymore.
He must have put drugs in that glass of water.
"Despicable scoundrel!" Li Ye cursed.
Ruan Mingchu chuckled and said, "You're really funny."
Upon hearing Ruan Mingchu praise Li Ye for being interesting, Mu Yu instinctively gave Li Ye an extremely dangerous look, "Who are you, where are you from, and what do you want?"
After being bombarded with three questions, Li Ye straightened his chest and said firmly, "Give up, I will never give in!"
Mu Yu rolled his eyes: "You talk like you're the good guy."
Li Ye shouted loudly, "I'm a good person! You two are big bad guys who illegally imprisoned people!"
Ruan Mingchu & Mu Yu: ...
Mu Yu was somewhat confused: "Is he faking it, or is he really sincere?"
Ruan Mingchu swallowed hard: "Is he not thinking straight?"
"How can you speak ill of people to their faces like this?!" Li Ye shouted. "As expected, a rotten empire can't produce good people. God shouldn't have tried to save you!"
The two completely ignored Li Ye.
Mu Yu: "I feel he's dangerous."
Ruan Mingchu: "He doesn't seem simple to me either."
Although he is definitely no match for him.
They both thought of the same thing and said at the same time, "Dual personality/Dissociative identity disorder."
Their serious demeanor startled Li Ye: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Mu Yu suddenly stood up, looking down at Li Ye. His tall figure gave Li Ye a huge sense of pressure, and his voice trembled involuntarily: "W-what are you going to do?"
He grabbed the rope, lifted Li Ye up, and slammed him against the opposite wall amidst Li Ye's screams.
Li Ye seemed like a different person while flying in the air. With a little effort, he broke free from the ropes and landed safely on the ground in a half-squat position.
He raised his head, his eyes fierce.
He still looked the same, but his whole demeanor had changed drastically, giving off a violent feeling.
"You two are asking for death!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Ye darted over, appearing to be almost a blur to an ordinary person.
Mu Yu remained calm and even rolled his eyes. This kind of villain is really nothing new.
Just a second before Li Ye's fist was about to hit Ruan Mingchu's face, Mu Yu caught the fist and pulled him to the ground.
Li Ye managed to break free from Mu Yu's restraints, but he still had to roll around on the ground.
Both were A-level warriors, and Mu Yu had considerable combat experience, but his opponent, Li Ye, had lived for more than twenty years and possessed more refined combat skills.
Moreover, Li Ye's attacks were even more ruthless, and he hardly paid attention to defending, so Mu Yu could not gain any advantage against him.
The poor sofa and low table were caught in the crossfire and ended up smashed to pieces. Except for the spot where Ruan Mingchu was sitting, which he protected, the rest of the place was badly damaged. The paint on the walls was peeling off, the walls were dented, the ground was cracked, and small stones were flying everywhere.
With the outcome still uncertain and the room nearly destroyed, Ruan Mingchu finally stopped watching.
The title of "strongest in the interstellar space" is no exaggeration. He only released his mental power, and Li Ye was unable to move as if he were being suppressed by a mountain.
He stared at Ruan Mingchu with a sinister look, wishing he could devour his flesh and blood.
Mu Yu clenched his fist and then relaxed it, a sense of unease flashing through his mind. The gap between him and Ruan Mingchu was huge, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
Ruan Mingchu remained seated on the sofa, his dignified bearing undiminished by the dilapidated surroundings.
He even crossed his legs, a gesture of relaxation, clearly showing his contempt for Li Ye.
"If you cooperate, that child will be able to stay calm and peaceful."
Similarly, if Li Ye does not cooperate, his dominant personality will be damaged.
Ruan Mingchu accurately grasped the importance this personality cared about and protected for the main personality; perhaps the emergence of the secondary personality was to protect the main personality.
Li Ye's veins bulged all over his body as he used all his strength, but he still couldn't shake off the mountain on his back.
After a long while, like a deflated balloon, Li Ye gave up resisting.
Ruan Mingchu smiled with satisfaction.
Li Ye's alternate personality is called Dawn, a name he gave himself in the hope that it would bring light to Li Ye, who had experienced endless darkness.
Dawn split off when Li Ye was fifteen. Whenever Li Ye encounters danger, Dawn will appear to save him and pretend that he has only met good people. That's why Dawn has the innocent appearance he has today.
About two years ago, Li Ye encountered great danger, and to save him, Li Ming fell into a deep sleep. Three months later, when Li Ming awoke, he discovered that Li Ye had joined an organization called the Anti-Imperial Alliance.
This shameless organization claimed credit for "saving Li Ye's life," and Li Ye was filled with gratitude towards them. But when Li Ming discovered that Li Ye was having a great time there and had made his first friend, Li Ming stopped interfering.
Thanks to Li Ye's diligent work, he has already been promoted twice in the alliance and is about to be promoted again. He knows a lot, though not a lot.
Dawn told him everything she knew.
After finishing his speech, Li Ming lowered his head in dejection.
Ruan Mingchu suddenly asked a question completely unrelated to the current situation: "Are you inside Li Ye's body, able to sense the outside world at all times?"
Dawn didn't understand why he asked this, but she still told the truth, "He can't when he's sleeping."
"Don't you feel lonely or bored?"
Without even thinking, Li Ming replied, "No."
I was born to protect him; as long as he's doing well, Dawn is content.
Good heavens, this guy who doesn't look like a good person actually has such a gentle and sensitive heart. Ruan Mingchu shuddered.
He can no longer look directly at the dawn.
“If what you say is true, I guarantee that Li Ye will not be made things difficult for you,” Ruan Mingchu said.
Dawn could only trust him for the time being.
It's already past midnight, and Mu Yu is exhausted from the intense battle, both physically and mentally.
He glanced at Li Ming: "Where do we put him?"
While Ruan Minh Thu was still organizing Li Ming's confession, he casually replied, "I've sent someone to bring him over; he'll be here in about five minutes."
