Chapter 474: Muchen, You’ll Help Us, Right?
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Yin Muchen went to the courtyard. Hu Ya came over with the ointment in his hand. “Boss…” He pa.s.sed the ointment over.
Yin Muchen was smoking so he didn’t accept it. His eyes were dark and heavy. There was no light in his gloomy eyes, but when Hu Ya looked closely, he realized that the corners of his eyes were a little red.
He refused to speak until after the last puff of his cigarette. “Go in and give it to… Forget it. Take it first and use it at home.”
Hu Ya didn’t know why his boss kept pausing in the middle of his sentence. He thought for a moment and vaguely understood the situation. In that room, Boss didn’t want any other man to go into the house, because the girl was in the room.
“Where is he?” He slowly asked after snuffing the cigarette beneath the sole of his shoe and crus.h.i.+ng it.
Hu Ya quickly pointed his finger to a small house acting as a storeroom. “Boss, he’s locked up in there.”
Yin Muchen did not speak; he turned around and went in.
…
In the storeroom, the stall owner lay on the cold ground. His lower parts had been crushed. He was nearly dead from the pain and could only roll around on the ground weakly.
The sound of the door opening entered his ears. Suddenly, a cold, hard leather shoe stepped on his face, and half of his face was deeply trodden into the earth.
The stall owner withstood the severe pain and looked up. The high and mighty figure slowly squatted down, and a fine and perfect face appeared in his sight.
The stall owner painfully begged for mercy. “Please! Forgive me, I… I dare not do it again…”
Yin Muchen, with narrowed eyes and slowly drew up his lips. He was smiling gracefully, but the smile did not reach his eyes. “Forgive you?” he asked. He seemed to have heard some funny joke and laughed. “Where did this dog come from? Is she someone you can touch?”
The laughter penetrated the stall owner’s ears and he trembled all over. Although the man was handsome and extraordinary, the fierce anger in him was apparent. His eyes were not heavy, but the shadows in them were cold enough to intimidate anyone.
“She was born beautiful, fair and charming. At this age, she’s a budding rose in the eyes of all men. Tell me, did you think about wanting her the moment you laid eyes on her? You hugged her, touched her, hit her, and also strangled her. Too excited to control your strength? Hah, tell me: which hand? Or did you use both hands?”
The stall owner kept trembling. The foot on his face progressively pressed harder. He couldn’t bear the increasing pain, but what he could bear even less was the man talking to him in a slow, casual manner with a smile. That invisible pressure suffocated him, like the voice of the devil.
“I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong… Please…Ah!”
After two screams, one after another, mixed with the sound of two bone cracks, the stall owner’s hands had been easily twisted and broken.
As he fainted from the pain, he felt the leather shoe lift from his face, and he heard fading grim laughter. “Are you qualified to guess if I’m her biological brother or her lover? Want to know how we play? It’s annoying to listen to you. You’d better just disappear.”
…
Hu Ya was waiting outside when the door opened. Yin Muchen walked out. Hu Ya handed him a clean handkerchief, and Yin Muchen wiped his hands.
After wiping his hands, he threw the dirty handkerchief on the ground and calmly said. “Settle this man.”
“Yes, Boss.”
Yin Muchen went into the house and came out with a girl in his arms. The bodyguard went up and draped a coat around them as he carried Yin Shuiling in his arms and left.
Liu Caizhe poked his head into the storeroom and glanced inside. The mud was covered with blood and the scene was shocking.
Liu Caizhe shook his head as he tutted. “I thought that all these years had washed away the dark violence in Muchen, but I didn’t expect that he would still be so uncontrollable.”
Hu Ya: “…” No speaking, no speaking.
…
In the apartment, Yin Shuiling was lying on a big, soft bed, accompanied by Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing applied ointment on all her daughter’s injuries and lamented, “I couldn’t even raise a finger against my little princess but she had been beaten today. Even if that gangster died thousands of times, I would not be dismayed.”
Yin De patted her on the shoulder and said, “That man was dealt with by Muchen. How can you not be a.s.sured by the people Muchen has dealt with?” Yin De looked at Yin Shuiling as he spoke, then told her seriously, “Shuiling, Dad’s telling that you can’t run out alone in the future. Look, you had an accident when you ran out secretly, didn’t you? If it wasn’t for your mother finding out in time and calling Muchen, you’d be…”
Yin Shuiling’s nested in the blankets obediently. She curled up sideways. Her face was not in much pain, but her chest really hurt.
“Mom and Dad, I know. I won’t run around in the future. I ran out today because Mom smashed and damaged my little plane. Oh right. What about my little plane, Mom and Dad?”
“The little plane has been taken by your brother. Find him tomorrow morning for it. Shuiling, it’s getting late now. Close your eyes and sleep. Your brother is handling business matters in his study. He has wasted a day for you today. Don’t disturb him,” Yin De said.
“Oh, alright.” Yin Shuiling was really sleepy. She closed her eyes and slept.
Seeing their daughter asleep, Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing looked at each other and walked out lightly.
…
Standing outside the door, s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing urged Yin De, “Is he not in the study? If you have any questions, go to him and hurry up. Don’t dally.”
Yin De looked a little unnatural. “Why don’t…you go and say…”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing kicked Yin De directly. Yin De was forced to stand at the door of the study. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The door of the study opened, and Hu Ya stood by the door. He looked at them and flashed a polite secretary-like smile. “Do you have any matters?”
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing took the opportunity to look inside the office. Yin Muchen was sitting on the black leather office chair. His right hand was tapping the ash into the ashtray. Liu Caizhe stood beside him. They had a big pile of reports in their hands and were talking in a low voices.
Yin De laughed politely and said, “Oh, Secretary Hu, we have something to talk about to Muchen.”
“Boss is busy right now. If there is anything, I can convey it to him, or I’ll call you when Boss is free tomorrow.”
Yin De’s expression stiffened. Hu Ya had euphemistically expressed the message that he had to make an appointment.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing immediately complained, “Secretary Hu, what do you mean by that? Do we need to make an appointment to see Muchen? That’s too unreasonable.”
Hu Ya looked calm and smiled formally. “Mr. Yin, Mrs. Yin, our boss has delayed an important financial conference for Miss Yin today and is now dealing with it. If we’re talking about reasonability, if it’s in Global Finance or if the boss is at dinner, even those big shareholders need to stand outside and wait quietly.”
His speech was neither humble nor exalted, but it completely resounded when the words fell.
When Yin De heard that, his face turned dark, and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing put her hands on her hips and raised her voice. “Secretary Hu, Muchen can be considered to be brought up by us. We’re not talking to you. Step aside! We want to see Muchen.”
The noise at the door disturbed the people inside. Yin Muchen looked up and glanced over. His handsome face was expressionless. He took a puff of a cigarette and slowly exhaled. “Hu Ya, please invite Uncle and Auntie in.”
This “please” was very polite. Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing glared at Hu Ya and swaggered in, meaning — Look! Your boss is inviting us.
Hu Ya: “…” *Shakes head continuously*.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing entered the study. She couldn’t help but glance around. Yin Muchen’s apartment was the most expensive in the city. The decoration design of each room was not only first-cla.s.s in terms of Fengshui, but it exuded a European-style luxury.
This study faced the sun and was very s.p.a.ciou. There was a light gray patterned wool carpet, an expensive brown sofa, a rosewood desk… s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing’s eyes were sharp. The purple sand ashtray that Yin Muchen tapped his cigarette on, she had once read it in a magazine that a lady showed off that the price was about $800,000.
What was real wealth? It could be seen from that small purple sand ashtray.
Liu Caizhe kept the information in his hand and stood aside. Yin Muchen’s eyes fell onto the figure of s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing. He drew up his lips.”Why are you looking for me, uncle and auntie?” he asked in a low, mellow voice.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing secretly pushed Yin De. Yin De laughed flatteringly. “Muchen, since we’re here, in order not to delay your time, we’ll make it clear… Recently… Yin Group’s working capital has met with some problems. Do you think you can…”
Both Liu Caizhe and Hu Ya understood this sentence. Their faces remained expressionless. Their belittlement was hidden in their hearts.
s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing saw Yin De hesitate and quickly said, “Muchen, a project of Yin Group has been screwed up recently and lost a lot of money. We are going to start a new project now but don’t have the funds. Muchen you’ll help us survive times of trouble right?”
Yin Muchen did not speak immediately. He leaned his handsome figure lazily into the sofa, his left hand propped on the chair rest while he smoked with his right hand.
After he exhaled a mouthful of smoke, his ink-black eyes slowly looked across through a haze of smoke as he gave a light smile and asked, “How much do you want?”
Only then did Yin De truly realize Yin Muchen’s change. He was no longer the poor boy from seven years ago. He smokes with his eyes narrowed now. Those deep and motionless eyes of his didn’t show any emotion. But he looked at you so slowly and orderly as if he had seen through you.
His wit and wisdom were irresistible.
This was a powerful aura acc.u.mulated over the years by those in power who had put their lives on the line.
Yin De was so embarra.s.sed he couldn’t speak. s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing raised three fingers. “30 million.”
After her voice fell, the study was completely silent. All four of them were waiting for the man sitting on the high seat to speak. Yin Muchen’s handsome figure s.h.i.+fted closer to the desk. His right arm lifted as he took a puff of the cigarette. Finally, he pointed the cigarette at Hu Ya and said, “Handle it.”
Hu Ya nodded respectfully. “Yes, Boss.”
Yin De and s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing were happy. s.h.i.+ Xiaoqing clapped her hands and said, “Muchen, from the moment you entered my door, I took you as my child. I knew you would protect the Yin family. Even Shuiling likes you so much. She had an accident while trying to repair the plane you gave her. In the evening, I wanted to take her home but she refused no matter what. She kept saying that she wanted to be with her brother. Look at how close Shuiling is to you.”
