Getting on Mu Chen’s Jeep, Nala found there were two SUVs following them, which should be Mu Chen’s workforce.
Mu Chen called Weimin Chen and told him that we had gone and to go on his own business. He didn’t mention thanks, which could reflect their close relationship.
I still thought about money. Even though it wasn’t much, I just felt unwell if I didn’t payback.
Mu Chen seemed to understand what I was thinking. “You don’t need to bother for the five hundred dollars. Weimin is my good brother. He must feel looked down upon if I give the money back. You can invite him to have dinner when he comes to Hai City next time.”
“That’s a good idea. Officer Chen is from Hai City?”
“Yes, he was the criminal police commander of Hai City. But later he was demoted to the local police station because of my case. I have been trying to transfer him back to Hai City, but he isn’t willing to accept. He likes living in the countryside and gets tired of the complicated games in the city.”
I nodded, “Now, I see.”
“My cousin was a renowned detective, selected as the candidate of the task force of the Ministry of Public Security for several times. He solved many critical and major cases. He could have owned a bright future. I was so sorry for I implicate him,” Mu Chen said.
I didn’t know what Mu Chen had committed and how Weimin Chen was affected. So I didn’t say anything but nodded.
Soon we arrived at the dining place Mu Chen mentioned. Mu Chen’s car drove into the farmyard while the other two pulled off outside.
I asked Mu Chen, “Why don’t your people get off to dine with us?”
“They have prepared food. Don’t care,” Mu Chen said. When we go back to Hai City, they will naturally eat something good. ”
Mu Chen has a light diet, with one steamed fish, two vegetable dished, one tofu dish, and one vegetarian soup. Siting opposite over the window, we began to tuck in.
Of course, it was me who tucked in. I was so hungry.
“Leon and I used to eat fish here. You know he likes eating fish only. He doesn’t eat other meat. The fish in this restaurant are all uncultivated fish from near rivers. I can’t tell the differences, but he says it is good. Later the environmental pollution poised the water quality, and the fish was not as good as before. We had no chance to eat fish here. ”
Speaking of the past, Mu Chen’s eyes were somewhat drifting.
I guessed they might have come with Ying Hua to eat here.
“Leon cares about your relationship. He told me you always protect him during the fight.”
Mu Chen smiled gently and adjusted his gold glasses, “Leon was brave since he was a child. He wasn’t afraid of anyone. His bad temper caused him much trouble, and he wouldn’t run away regardless of his enemy’s number. He just fought alone and got beaten superbly. But a few days later, we would beat them back.”
He smiled happily, full of nostalgia.
Those times were valuable memories for both him and Leon.
“I hope one day you’ll be able to eat fish and drink together again.”
Mu Chen sighed, “That’s difficult. There are some unrepairable and irreconcilable barriers between Hua Family and me.”
“Even if it’s difficult, there still a chance. You are people who do great things and have experienced the stormy waves. You are easier to take things lightly in the past. I believe one day, you may forgive each other, even though I don’t know what your contradiction is. ”
“The biggest contradiction is that I pushed Ying Hua off the cliff. I can’t be forgiven, because I won’t forgive myself. ”
I couldn’t help asking, “But you have a deep feeling for Sister Ying. Why did you do that?”
Mu Chen put down chopsticks, with eyes looking at the distance, “Sorry, I don’t want to mention it.”
I nodded. I understood that everyone had some stories that they didn’t want to mention.
After the meal, we continued our journey and arrived in Hai City in the afternoon.
If I just showed up in Hai City, I might implicate the monk in the temple. So I decided not to turn up, but I wanted to know whether Alex was safe.
I told Mu Chen my idea. He said it was easy. We just needed to change a car and stopped near the kindergarten. As long as the child went to school as usual, there would be no problem.
After changing the car, Mu Chen himself drove the car and stopped near the kindergarten.
At this time, there were around ten minutes before the school was over.
Shortly after we arrived, a Porsche came by. It was Leon Hua.
After the car stopped, a woman got off from the vehicle. She was Nan Lin.
She stood in front of the car and had a short chat with Leon sat in the car. After waving goodbye, she took a taxi and left. Leon stayed there, waiting for the child.
My heart seemed to have been blocked by a clump of cotton.
I disappeared for a few days. How could he not search for me instead of flirting with Nan Lin.
It seemed that I had no place in his heart, indeed. He didn’t care about me at all.
I was going to tell him what happened, but I didn’t want to talk to him anymore given such a scene.
Anyway, for him, I was not a necessity. Then why should I turn up and tell him the truth? If Xiang Feng’s people knew I was here, they would only continue to make troubles for me.
“Leon is coming, do you want to talk to him? Maybe things aren’t as bad as you think. I have heard that the girl helped Leon. He is a grateful person, so …”
I barely smiled, “You don’t have to comfort me. I’m fine. I am not going to at present. I’ll wait for Alex and have a look at him when he comes out. I can’t tell others I’ve escaped and returned to Hai City. ”
“I understand. Then you just stay with me first. I’ll offer you a house to live in alone. It is safe. Stay as you wish.”
“Thanks, but there is no need. I have a house before marrying Leon. Although it’s not big, I can live there.”
“Okay, it depends on you. Alex is coming.”
From a distance, I saw a teacher leading Alex to Leon’s car. Leon got off and shook hands with the teacher. Then he held Alex to the vehicle.
I felt a sudden sorrow. I wanted to give a hug to Alex. But I reminded myself to calm down and figure out what was going on.
Xiang Feng had already had it out with me. If I came out, she would undoubtedly continue to make troubles not only for me, also for Alex and Leon.
Leon was able to cope with, but Alex was our weakness. He couldn’t be hurt. So I have to know the situation before I showed up.
“Alex is fine. Don’t worry. You just leave him for a while. I don’t know who’s going to attack you, but I think, no matter who is, Leon can help you. Since you do not want to show up now, it must be the people from the Hua family. You just don’t want to put him in embarrassment.”
I shook my head, “No, I’m just worried about the consequence. I’m worried about my Alex. I can’t protect him now. So I have to keep a distance from him for the time being. I don’t want to implicate him.”
Mu Chen shook his head, “I understand. If you need my help, just tell me. I will do my best.”
