Chapter 553. Incident (2)
After Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo left, Xi Xiaye tidied up and began to prepare for the meeting later.
When she did not hear any news from Mu Yuchen the entire afternoon, she realized that it seemed to be a little more serious this time. She had never seen Su Chen act out like this before. Previously, through her interactions with Su Chen, she could tell he was a candid and open-minded person. This time, Elder Su must have crossed the line if he was forced to this extent.
The sky gradually darkened. Initially, they had planned to go shopping and prepare some autumn wear for Shen Yue, but it looked like that would not be happening anymore. Coincidentally, Zhuang Shurong called her, so Xi Xiaye just made her way home early.
On the other end, when Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo found Su Chen, he was at the fencing center they had frequented before. Su Chen was already worn out and all sweaty as he lay sprawled on the floor. Mu Yuchen and Zhou Zimo helped him to the resting area with each of them taking one side. Then, they tossed him to the ground, and the entire space instantly fell silent. There was only the sound of his panting and breathing.
“How did you know I was here?” Su Chen sighed as he wiped the beads of sweat on his face away uncomfortably and looked at Mu Yuchen nervously.
Mu Yuchen shot Zhou Zimo a look, and he quickly whipped his phone out to call the Su family to inform them that he was safe.
“There aren’t many places that you can go to. What’s wrong? From what I remember, you rarely go against the elder’s wishes. However, this time I remember advising you against going to the border.”
Mu Yuchen gestured to the attendant on the side who very quickly handed Su Chen a wet towel and water.
Su Chen took the towel and wiped his face with it before speaking annoyedly, “I’m sick of staying in City Z. I just wanted to have a change of environment and live some peaceful days. I’m already more than 30 years old. When can I do things as I wish, why do I have to do as they say? They keep being violent and lecture me like they’re training animals. Do they think I’m those soldiers under them?”
