Chapter 4: Living in C Shi

Mu Youyu came to A City to keep a low profile; from the start of high school until now, the necklace has been kept with Mu Xi.

……Originally she could have stayed in A City for two years, then go to C Shi in her senior year.

Now that this has happened, her second older brother will surely not be at ease letting her stay in A City.

Mu Xi saw her sister obediently agree, and gently stroked her hair with his hand.

Mu Youyu lifted her face, eyes brimming with tears, but her gaze was full of trust in her brother, believing he would handle it well.

Mu Xi saw his sister's expression, his heart softened further, and he continued to coax in a low voice: 'Youbao, behave and wait in the car for a moment; I'll take care of things right away, then take you back to C Shi, okay?'

"Okay."

After Mu Xi closed the car door and turned to enter the office,

Mu Youyu's lips curved slightly, and there was not a trace of pity left in her delicate eyes.

She lightly leaned against the backrest.

Brother is angry, I don't know how many lives Fu Qin has to withstand his beating.

She can't beat Fu Qin, who studied taekwondo for four years, but that doesn't mean brother can't.

Moreover, can the Fu family in A City withstand the Mu family's wrath?

Of course not.

Mu Youyu wore a somewhat mischievous smile at the corner of her mouth, but suddenly sensing something, her smile was quickly suppressed.

Ah, she will have to return to C Shi from now on.

She hasn't had enough fun in A City yet.

Office.

Other parents were talking with Vice Principal Lin.

Mu Xi walked in, facing Fu Qin, and when she was stunned, he kicked her directly.

"Qin'er!" Fu Qin's mother and father were about to step forward, but were blocked by Mu Xi's bodyguards.

"Qin sis!" The little followers were also stopped by the bodyguards.

After Mu Xi kicked Fu Qin to the ground, he stepped on her back with one foot.

"Release me, miss! You big man, hitting a woman—shameful!" Fu Qin struggled in pain, but to no avail.

"Tsk, you two come over."

Mu Xi saw her disheveled state, looked up and gestured to the two bodyguards standing at the door.

He lifted his foot, and the two bodyguards rushed forward, yanking her hair hard to make her quiet.

Next, they bound Fu Qin to a chair with thick rope, rendering her immobile, and stuffed a dirty cloth in her mouth.

"Release my daughter!" Fu Qin's mother shouted from the side, but her voice was quickly suppressed by Mu Xi's bodyguards.

"Qin'er!" Fu Qin's father tried to push the bodyguard away with his hand, but the bodyguard seized his hand, twisted it hard, and a scream rang out in the office.

"Husband..." Fu Qin's mother began to panic at the scene, daring not to act rashly.

Vice Principal Lin spoke up to advise him: 'Mu Youyu's brother causing such a scene isn't good; your sister still has to study here…'

If it can be settled privately, let's settle it…

Mu Xi lifted his cold gaze: 'Who said my precious little sister has to study in this lousy school?'

Vice Principal Lin still wanted to say something, but Mu Xi gave him a look that said, 'Say another word and I'll kill you,' and he shrank back in fear.

He came to his senses, incredulous.

He was actually subdued by a child's gaze!

At first glance, this person is clearly not ordinary… In his memory, there's no such person in A City!

"Fu Qin, right?" Mu Xi's voice was low and icy.

She thought that hurting his person meant she could do as she pleased?

Mu Xi sat on the sofa opposite Fu Qin, took the gloves handed by the bodyguard, and put them on slowly.

Those hands, with distinct knuckles, slender and fair, resembled a fine work of art.

He casually picked up the knife the bodyguard handed over, the blade flashing coldly in the light.

Mu Xi lightly tapped Fu Qin's face with the blade, the motion elegant.

It made her heart tremble involuntarily.

"You say you want to scar my precious sister's face? You're bold—how about letting you try first?"

Fu Qin stared in disbelief, looking at his cold eyes and grim face, her heart finally beginning to feel uneasy and regretful.

This person seems to have quite a background, and he isn't afraid of the Fu family!

She struggled, but the ropes tightly bound her hands and feet, leaving her powerless and unable to move.

A flicker of darkness passed through Mu Xi's eyes, and his finger twitched slightly.

He aligned the sharp tip of the knife with Fu Qin's already tear‑streaked left cheek, and the blade easily sliced her skin.

Blood welled from the wound, streaming down her cheek and staining her clothes red.

Fu Qin felt the pain on her face and the warm blood, wailing like a madwoman.

"You madman! Let me go!" she shouted loudly, but her voice was muffled in her mouth, only a weak whimper escaping.

"Qin'er..." Fu Qin's mother's eyes filled with tears; seeing the crowd, she dared only to whisper her sympathy.

"Mu classmate brother!" Vice Principal Lin grew uneasy.

He and the two teachers, seeing Mu Xi's demeanor, feared causing a fatal incident and dared not step forward.

"Aren't you afraid of the Fu family?" Fu Qin's father asked, enduring the pain in his hand while feigning calm, trying to get him to stop.

Mu Xi moved the knife unhurriedly, lightly slicing Fu Qin's right cheek as well.

"Pfft, the Fu family? They're not even worthy to shout in front of me." Mu Xi seemed to have heard a joke, laughed out loud, but there was no mirth in his eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, the blue-white bangs over his forehead obscuring his gaze.

Father Fu was shaken by that gaze and couldn't help but take a step back.

Mu Xi saw the reactions of the few, with a weary expression he tossed the knife aside, lifted his gaze; those cold eyes paired with his grim face made people feel a chill.

Father Fu, unwilling to concede, looked at the impudent brat before him and said:

「The Fu family is the head of the four great aristocratic families of A City; even if you have backing from the other three great families, you can't afford to provoke the Fu family! Quickly release my Qin'er, and the Fu family will leave you a whole corpse! 」

Mu Xi heard the other's words, snorted again, took off his glove and tossed it carelessly, his Smile unbridled, his gaze indifferent.

「What is the Fu family even? Besides, you need to get the situation straight... 」

Mu Xi's words paused slightly, he took the wet tissue from the bodyguard, wiping his hands elegantly, revealing a noble bearing.

He continued: "「Now it's this young master's people pressing you; are you sure you want to speak to this young master like this? With just one order from this young master, your lives aren't guaranteed. 」"

As he said that, Mu Xi snapped his fingers; the bodyguard received the order and gripped Father Fu's hand harder.

「Husband! 」 Fu's mother shouted worriedly again; as soon as she spoke, the bodyguard roughly pulled her.

「You! 」 Father Fu's eyes brimmed with hatred; he opened his mouth to utter a single word, afraid to provoke him, then trailed off.

Mu Xi rose from the sofa, his bearing revealing a precious nobility, his Atmosphere fully unleashed.

After a moment, he curled his lip and gave a low laugh, his eyes cold and clear: "「Looks like you want to compare Family Background with this young master? Then this young master will let you die with your eyes open. 」"

He took a step forward and immediately said: "「You say this young master can't afford to provoke your insignificant Fu family? Then let this young master introduce himself—this young master resides in C Shi. 」"
