When Chu Mu arrived at Xinghai Villa, Qi Man had locked herself in the room, shivering under the quilt.

His heart sank suddenly. Chu Mu pulled back her blanket and saw that her clothes were intact. He breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you okay, Manman?"

"Mumu, Lin Ji is dead! I killed someone, what should I do?" Qi Man rushed into Chu Mu's arms.

"As long as you're okay." Chu Mu patted her back gently, his eyes filled with determination and ruthlessness. If Qi Man really killed Lin Ji, she would take the blame for her. "Where is he now?"

"In the garage."

"Let's go downstairs and take a look."

Qi Man brought Chu Mu to the garage downstairs.

With a "whoosh" sound, the elevator door opened and Lin Ji, who was lying on the ground, disappeared.

Qi Man was startled. "Hey, where is that person? He was just here."

There were still traces of uncoagulated blood on the dark blue floor tiles. Lin Ji was indeed injured; Qi Man's memory was correct.

"Are you sure he's dead?" Chu Mu confirmed with her. There were no signs of dragging or footprints on the ground.

"..." Qi Man was confused, trying to recall every detail of what had just happened. However, in her highly agitated state, all she could recall was the bat hitting him again and again. "I hit him four or five times, and two of them hit his head. His face was covered in blood."

"Maybe he's just injured." Yi Yichen looked around. There were no surveillance cameras in the underground garage. "Don't worry, we can call the police first."

"Don't call the police!" Chu Mu stopped him with a warning in his eyes.

Yi Yichen understood her concerns. He glanced at Qi Man and said after a moment, "You two go upstairs and rest. I'll take care of this. As long as Lin Ji is still in Zhucheng, we'll definitely find him."

"Yeah." Chu Mu responded, and immediately came up with an idea, "Manman, I'll take you back to the West Mountain Villa. Leave the rest to me."

"Mumu, Lin Ji will hurt you. He said he will find you." Qi Man held her, her eyes full of worry.

"Isn't that even better?" Chu Mu was calm and even looked forward to it.

"Twilight..."

"Okay, I will protect myself." Chu Mu interrupted her with a very resolute attitude.

As she spoke, she walked out. Yi Yichen hurriedly grabbed her, his eyes full of worry, and his tone was urgent, "Where are you going! Those are desperadoes, you want to fight them?"

"..." Chu Mu was slightly stunned, looking into his eyes, which were full of mystery. He had never shown a look of worry in front of her.

Since her mother passed away, few people have looked at her with such eyes. Qi Man loves her, her grandparents love her, but they are more dependent on her.

Even though his heart was suddenly struck, Chu Mu's words remained resolute. "As long as I can win, hand-to-hand combat doesn't matter. Besides, it's not like I haven't fought hand-to-hand before."

"Lin Ji is not me!" He grabbed her wrist tightly, and Yi Yichen's brows twisted into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

"If you can handle it, who else can't I handle?" Chu Mu shook him off and strode forward.

"Mumu." Qi Man wanted to chase after him.

Yi Yichen stopped her and said, "Let her go. Who can stop her from making her decision?"

Hand-to-hand combat is not impossible if necessary, but the time is not right now.

After walking outside the villa, Chu Mu called Zhang Tingyu.

The two were in the passionate period of their collaboration, and Zhang Tingyu answered the phone promptly, "Hello, sister-in-law, I've seen the design draft, it's unexpectedly good."

Chu Mu, however, was trying to accept her compliment and said straight to the point, "Lin Ji is back. In order for our cooperation to proceed smoothly, I need you to go find Lin Jiaojiao."
