Chapter 448: Unwilling to Release
As soon as she entered the elevator, a look of excitement spread across Ming Lan’s face, her eyes glowing. Like Gong Hai, she thought it was Mu Qiancheng who had arrived.
With this in mind, she felt she could deal with both of them simultaneously. The thought of it made her incredibly happy.
The elevator moved smoothly and soon reached the door of the presidential suite. By that time, Liu Yongfa and his group were already fighting with Gong Hai’s bodyguards.
As for the Little Fox, taking advantage of the fierce fight between the two sides, it sneaked into the room to find Jiang Xue. When it found Jiang Xue, the Little Fox’s expression turned grim.
It saw Jiang Xue with a swollen face, traces of being beaten. Although it usually liked to mock Jiang Xue and call her silly, no matter what, Jiang Xue was its owner.
How dare those people hit its owner? Did they have a death wish? The Little Fox was furious, and its entire demeanor changed.
"Woman, who hit you?" The Little Fox’s eyes were filled with dark light as it looked at Jiang Xue and asked.
"You’re here!" Jiang Xue smiled, not answering its question, but instead said, "Can you help untie the rope for me?"
The Little Fox listened, and without seeing it make any move, the rope tying Jiang Xue fell apart with a snap.
The rope broke, and Jiang Xue regained her freedom. She stood up, stretched her arms and legs, and prepared to leave the place.
Outside the room, Liu Yongfa and Gong Hai’s bodyguards stopped, and Gong Hai stood in front of Liu Yongfa, asking, "Who are you, and why have you trespassed into my private territory?"
"I am here to find someone. Sir, I don’t know what grudges you hold against Jiang Xue, but she is my friend. Please, for my sake, let her go."
"You are not Mu Qiancheng?" Hearing Liu Yongfa’s words, Gong Hai immediately realized his mistake. The person in front of him was not Mu Qiancheng.
Indeed, his people hadn’t even contacted Mu Qiancheng yet, so it was impossible for him to arrive so soon. But the person in front of him appeared to be well-trained, and judging by his appearance, he seemed to have a military background. What is his relationship with Mu Qiancheng?
"I am Liu Yongfa, a friend of Mu Qiancheng," Liu Yongfa stated his identity, then said to Gong Hai, "Sir, you look like a person of status, why would you capture Jiang Xue?"
"She’s just a girl from the countryside. If she’s offended you somehow, please be magnanimous and let her go."
Before Gong Hai could respond, Ming Lan, who was disappointed that it wasn’t Mu Qiancheng who came, immediately sneered at Liu Yongfa’s words and said, "Since you’re not Mu Qiancheng, you better mind your own business. Jiang Xue is someone I want to capture, unless Mu Qiancheng himself comes, I will not release her."
"Ma’am, it’s better to resolve enmities than to start them. I don’t know what deep vendettas you have against Mu Qiancheng, but why are you holding onto Jiang Xue? She’s just a woman."
"But she is Mu Qiancheng’s woman!" Ming Lan’s implication was obvious; because Jiang Xue was Mu Qiancheng’s woman, she wanted to capture her and wouldn’t release her.
Liu Yongfa heard this, his eyes darkening, and said, "So, you really refuse to let her go?"
"Naturally, unless Mu Qiancheng comes himself."
"You?" Liu Yongfa was about to say something when a voice came into everyone’s ears.
"I’m here!"
With the sound’s appearance, Mu Qiancheng walked into everyone’s view. Seeing Mu Qiancheng, Liu Yongfa paused, momentarily at a loss for words.
