“Someone is following us.” Yu Tang patted Mu Nancheng on the shoulder, gesturing for him to turn around and look.
Mu Nancheng squinted and looked through the rear window, saying, "Don't worry, these guys are always looking for trouble. We'll teach them a lesson when we get there."
Yu Tang wasn't actually that scared.
After all, both he and Mu Nancheng were quite skilled, and a few young boys couldn't possibly hurt them.
The taxi arrived at the restaurant, and Mu Nancheng led Yu Tang inside, with the other boys following behind.
Mu Nancheng told Yu Tang in the car that these people were the children of several well-known industrialists in D City.
It seems to be related to Mu Zehai as well, as they are always finding ways to cause him trouble.
It was lunchtime, but there weren't many customers in the Western restaurant.
Not long after Mu Nancheng finished ordering, those people came over and forcefully moved chairs to sit next to Yu Tang and Mu Nancheng.
"Young Master Mu, are you here for dinner?" One of the boys sat down next to Mu Nancheng, pointed at Yu Tang across the table, and asked, "Who is this man with you? I've never seen him before. Can you introduce him?"
"Who do you think you are?" Yu Tang thought Mu Nancheng would deal with boys like he did with Mu Zehai.
But the boy's first words were full of hostility.
Mu Nancheng picked up the dinner knife on the table, twirled it twice in his hand, and asked, "Does he even deserve to know him?"
"Wow! That's so cool!" Xiao Jin cheered wildly in Yu Tang's mind. [No wonder he's the main god; his soft and cute exterior is all an act! His true nature is cool, hahaha!]
"Mu Nancheng! How dare you talk to me like that!" The boy was furious and reached out to grab Mu Nancheng's collar.
But the boy twisted her sleeve in the opposite direction, neutralizing all her strength, and she was forced to slam her onto the table with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, Mu Nancheng, holding the knife in his right hand, swiftly brought it down, and with a snap, it pierced the boy's thumb and forefinger.
The series of actions left everyone in the restaurant completely dumbfounded.
This includes Yu Tang, who was just about to lend a helping hand to Mu Nancheng.
They stared in shock at the frighteningly decisive young man.
That deft skill, that precise knife work?
Yu Tang unconsciously curled his fingers, coughed, and decided to watch the show.
"Mu, Mu Nancheng! You're plotting to murder me!" The boy's wrist was held down, and he struggled to hit Mu Nancheng with his other hand. The next moment, Mu Nancheng grabbed his neck and pressed him next to the dinner knife stuck in the table.
"This wasn't murder, it was self-defense." Mu Nancheng's expression was gentle, and a smile still lingered on his lips. "If Young Master Wang wants to hit me, I can't just offer my face to him, can I? Wouldn't that be like being a masochist?"
"And don't think that just because I come from a lower social class, you bunch of good-for-nothings can step on my head."
"You don't have that ability yet."
After saying that, he released the boy, pulled out a knife, wiped it with a napkin, and said, "If you understand, then get out of here. Don't stand here and ruin my appetite."
The boys were stunned by the scene.
Then, the moment he realized what had happened, he became furious.
"Are you tired of living?! You're nothing but an illegitimate child, what right do you have to talk to us like that!"
"You disappeared for half a year and now you're all high and mighty, huh?"
"It seems that if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't understand what you really are!"
Their shouting and yelling in the Western restaurant had already attracted a lot of onlookers.
Just as they were about to take action, a blonde, blue-eyed young woman walked over and called security to stop the troublemaking boy.
Although she is a foreigner, she speaks fluent Chinese. She said that her restaurant has a clear rule that no loud noises or disturbances are allowed.
No matter who it is, if they violate the rules, they will be asked to leave, and those with serious violations will be sent directly to the police station for processing.
The boys argued again, saying they had connections and weren't afraid of the woman, and that she was just a restaurant owner with nothing to be proud of.
The young woman simply smiled in response. Then she told the tall, foreign security guard to grab the men by their clothes and kick them out of the restaurant.
After cleaning up the "trash," the woman returned to Yu Tang and Mu Nancheng's table and smiled at them, saying, "I'm sorry to have startled you, gentlemen. This meal is on the house."
Yu Tang was instantly charmed by her actions, and Mu Nancheng also glanced at the woman several times.
After politely thanking them, the two were finally able to enjoy a meal in peace.
"Don't do such dangerous things next time." Yu Tang didn't forget to correct Mu Nancheng's thinking: "I know you want to intimidate them, but people like them can't stand being provoked."
If they really gang up on you and try to trip you up, you'll...
"Tangtang, I think you should give up this job." Mu Nancheng suddenly interrupted Yu Tang and said, "I'll talk to the old man and find you another job."
Yu Tang was a little confused as to why Mu Nancheng had suddenly changed his mind.
However, before he could ask, Mu Nancheng took the initiative to explain: "The environment I am in is a mixed bag, and these people will create a lot of rumors that are detrimental to you."
It might even hurt you in the future. I was too selfish at first; I just wanted to see you all the time, which is why I let you apply for the job. I won't make any more rash decisions in the future.
Today, Mu Nancheng seemed very tough, but now that he's calmed down and thought about it, his actions were indeed inappropriate.
It wasn't that she was afraid of getting hurt herself, but rather that she was afraid of implicating the man she loved most.
Yu Tang was slightly taken aback, but a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
He reached out and gently placed his hand on Mu Nancheng's hand, saying, "Yes, I understand."
"But you're quite the troublemaker," Yu Tang laughed at him. "You keep making me do this and that. Do you think I'm a jack-of-all-trades? That I can do everything?"
“Actually, I’d rather you did nothing.” Mu Nancheng knew Yu Tang was joking, so he squeezed Yu Tang’s hand and said, “Then I can rightfully support you, pamper you, build you a castle, lock you up, and make you belong only to me…”
"Stop, stop, stop! What kind of yandere statement is this?" Yu Tang covered Mu Nancheng's mouth and replied, "Just because you said that, I need to find a job as soon as possible."
Otherwise, if you raise me into a pig, I'll be ruined.
Mu Nancheng smiled, his eyes crinkling, but he didn't say anything.
Chapter 31
He died for the villain for the eighth time (31)
After the two finished their meal, the restaurant owner stopped Mu Nancheng, gave him her name and contact information, and said that she thought highly of him and hoped to get to know him and make friends.
Mu Nancheng didn't pay much attention at first, but when he saw the signature on the other party's business card, he was stunned for a while.
Then his gaze towards the female boss changed, and his voice became more polite as he said, "I never expected that the unassuming and shrewd top investor from T Group would appear in such a small Western restaurant. It is truly an honor to meet you."
The female boss's eyes flashed with approval as she said, "I didn't expect that someone as young as you would know my name."
After exchanging a few more polite words, Mu Nancheng pulled Yu Tang away from the restaurant.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Yu Tang could clearly see the undisguised excitement on Mu Nancheng's face, the kind of light that seemed to have seen prey, which made him appear more mature than his age.
Xiao Jin told Yu Tang that the woman's name was Eileen, and she was a top investor in the renowned T Group in Country S.
Her appearance has always been a mystery; all that's known to the outside world is the enormous profits her precise investments brought to the T Group and her name, Eileen Davis.
This time, the woman's appearance also showed that she had a good impression of Mu Nancheng.
This means that Mu Nancheng possesses the potential that the other party has their eye on.
If Mu Nancheng seizes this opportunity, his future path will definitely be much easier.
Yu Tang was also happy for Mu Nancheng.
Back in his room that evening, Mu Nancheng put down his bag, turned on his computer, and contacted Eileen.
After a brief introduction, Eileen posed a difficult question to Mu Nancheng.
Ask him to come up with a plan that would allow S country's medicine to sell like hotcakes in South Korea, where Mu Nan City is located.
Mu Nancheng accepted the challenge without hesitation. He then spent the night researching and writing documents, finally sending an email to the address Eileen had left just before dawn.
Because the Mu family has a housekeeper, Yu Tang and Mu Nancheng live separately to avoid unnecessary rumors.
The next day, Yu Tang knocked on Mu Nancheng's door and saw the boy with panda eyes looking at him, yawning incessantly.
"What were you doing yesterday?" Yu Tang caught the boy who deliberately slumped against him and asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah, because I'm so excited." Mu Nancheng nestled in his arms and said, "As long as Eileen can give me a hand, I'm confident I can control the Mu family within a year..."
At this point, Mu Nancheng chuckled, "Well, you wouldn't understand anyway. All you need to know is that it won't be long before that mother and son in the Mu family stop laughing..."
Although the other person said it with a smile, Yu Tang could still sense the chill and sinister intent in their words.
He recalled that in the original story, Mu Nancheng seemed to be quite unscrupulous in his actions, harming many innocent consumers for money and profit.
“Nancheng, I know I have no right to say anything.” Yu Tang helped him into the room, closed the door, and said, “But I hope you understand that before making any decisions, you must think about whether they will hurt innocent people.”
"In particular, in the future, when doing business, we must not do unethical business, and we must not be without moral principles."
Always remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Save lives, don't harm others. Understand?
Mu Nancheng frowned.
He knew that Yu Tang was about to start lecturing again.
I couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
The other person had said this countless times, and at first he thought he should change.
But now Eileen's appearance tells him that opportunity is right in front of him.
As long as he can come up with an investment plan that satisfies the other party and yields huge profits, he can quickly achieve his goal of controlling the Mu family.
Therefore, even though he knew there was something wrong with the batch of medicines the other party provided, he accepted the task of developing this solution without hesitation.
Now that Yu Tang brought up the topic, he felt guilty and irritated, so he pursed his lips and deliberately changed the subject, saying perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I know."
"You're not an old man, why are you talking to me like that? You always like to lecture me, you have no romance at all."
As he said this, Mu Nancheng pulled Yu Tang down onto the bed, burying himself in the blankets, his head resting on Yu Tang's shoulder as he closed his eyes: "Ahhh, I've been busy all night, I'm so sleepy, can you sleep with me for a while longer?"
Yu Tang felt helpless about his tone, but also genuinely felt sorry for the dark circles under the boy's eyes, so she patted his head and said, "It's good that you know. Go to sleep now. I'll stay here with you."
Seeing that he didn't continue lecturing him, Mu Nancheng smiled and felt much better. He snuggled into Yu Tang's arms and fell asleep in no time.
Mu Nancheng slept until sunset, and when he woke up, he heard his stomach rumbling.
Yu Tang was sitting in front of the computer, doing something, and when he saw that he had woken up, he closed the chat window.
She asked him with a calm expression, "You're finally awake. You must be starving!"
