When Shen Mu woke up, it was already the next morning.
She checked the progress of the software tracking on her phone, but since it was something she had made hastily and was incomplete, there was basically no progress.
She tossed her phone aside and went to freshen up before returning to the hospital room, where she found Dr.
Ou Jin sitting in a white coat.
Shen Mu raised her hand and greeted him, “Good morning, Dr. Ou.”
Dr.
Ou Jin leaned in with a sly grin and asked, “Shen Mu, did Yun Xiao confess to you yesterday?”
Shen Mu was taken aback, but calmly pushed her phone under the pillow and shook her head, “No.”
Dr.
Ou Jin pounded his thigh in frustration, “No? You really are dense!”
Shen Mu blinked and asked, “What’s going on? What do you mean by dense?”
Dr.
Ou Jin pulled Shen Mu to sit down and said, “Shen Mu, you don’t know. When Yun Xiao received your call yesterday, he was going crazy!”
“He had his hackers hack all the cameras near the restaurant, blocked off the surrounding roads, and drove like crazy to Zhang’s villa!
When he went there, he had a gun strapped to his waist!
If anything had happened to you, he would have killed someone on the spot!”Shen Mu asked, “Are you sure?”
Dr.
Ou Jin nodded firmly, “I’m sure!”
“Yun Xiao didn’t have a gun on his waist,” Shen Mu said, “I saw that his waist was flat and there was no gun.”
Dr.
Ou Jin scratched his head awkwardly, “Well, maybe he forgot to bring it…”Shen Mu laughed, “Dr. Ou, what are you trying to say?”
Ou Jin sighed, “Yun Xiao doesn’t have much experience in this area, so don’t make fun of him. He’s really good to you. I’ve been with him and his brother for so many years, and when I was in trouble, he wasn’t even this good to me!”
“That’s because your two women fought. It’s not considered trouble here.” The door to the ward was pushed open, and Huo Yunxiao strode in.
Shen Mu smiled and said, “You finally came. If you didn’t come, Dr. Ou would have written a biography for you.”
Huo Yunxiao walked to Ou Jin’s side and asked, “Are you not leaving yet? Waiting for me to dictate your autobiography?”
Ou Jin quickly gave up his seat, and Huo Yunxiao sat down and said, “I had Han Cheng bring breakfast from Xiao Xiang Pavilion. Eat some.”
Shen Mu politely nodded, “Thank you. I had it once last time, and I still can’t forget it!”
Han Cheng put the things on the table one by one, and the fragrance filled the air.
Shen Mu looked up at Ou Jin’s pitiful eyes and asked, “Do you want to… eat with us, Dr. Ou?”
“No need,” Huo Yunxiao decisively refused, and before Ou Jin could wail, he added, “His is packed separately in the office.”
Ou Jin immediately smiled, “Thank you, President Huo!”
After breakfast, Shen Mu asked, “Can I see President Zhang today?”
Huo Yunxiao nodded, “Yes.”
In the silence, Han Cheng pushed the door open and said, “President, Ou Young Master is looking for you.”
Huo Yunxiao got up and walked to Ou Jin’s office.
Ou Jin had finished breakfast and was leaning back in his chair, staring at the computer with a serious expression, not blinking.
Huo Yunxiao walked over and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Yunxiao, come and have a look at this,” Ou Jin beckoned.
Huo Yunxiao walked behind him, and on the computer screen was a DV recording of Shen Mu fighting with a half-height hunting dog in a cage yesterday at Zhang’s private villa.
Punch after punch, Shen Mu beat the hunting dog to a pulp and won the fight.
Then she grabbed the whip that Zhang swung at her and almost strangled him to death.
From beginning to end, there was no panic, no crying, and no asking for help.
She was like a lone wolf accustomed to fighting alone and taking risks.
The camera froze on Shen Mu’s bloodthirsty smile as she choked Zhang.
Ou Jin said, “Yunxiao, I watched that hunting dog, and it wasn’t just knocked out, Shen Mu smashed its skull and killed it.”
Huo Yunxiao frowned, and Ou Jin continued, “Yunxiao, even you back then, might not have been able to kill a hunting dog in two minutes, this Miss Shen’s combat power is extraordinary.”
Huo Yunxiao nodded, “I know.”Ou Jin copied the recording onto a USB drive and handed it to Huo Yunxiao, sighing, “Yunxiao, this Miss Shen’s background…”
In the afternoon, Ou Jin handled Shen Mu’s discharge procedures, and Shen Mu was led by Han Cheng to meet Zhang.
The car drove all the way to the outskirts, and Zhang was locked in the basement of a villa.
Shen Mu walked in, and the man in front of her had few injuries, but his face was pale and terrifying.
If he hadn’t been coughing all the time, Shen Mu would have suspected that he was already dead.
When Shen Mu walked in, Zhang, the boss, cried out, “Miss Shen! Miss Shen! You’re a big person, please spare me! Let Mr. Huo forgive me! Let me go!”
Shen Mu pulled a chair and sat in front of him, saying, “Do you know who I am?”
“I know! I know! Mr. Huo’s sweetheart!” Zhang immediately replied.
Shen Mu rubbed her forehead and asked, “I mean, do you know my name?”
Zhang nodded, “I know! I know! Miss Shen Mu, the young lady of the Shen family!”
“Then why did you mess with me?” Shen Mu asked.
Zhang cried out, “Miss Shen! I didn’t mess with you! It was your sister who sent you here! She said you were promiscuous and played around! If I knew you were Mr. Huo’s person, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare!”
Shen Mu adjusted the recording pen in her hand to ensure the sound quality was correct and said, “Okay, I’m done asking. Thank you for your cooperation.”
She got up to leave, but Zhang immediately shouted, “Miss Shen! Miss Shen! Please ask Mr. Huo to let me go!”
Shen Mu paused, turned around, walked towards him step by step, bent down to carefully examine him, smiled, and said, “You’re mistaken. I’m not anyone’s sweetheart, and I can’t make Huo Yunxiao let you go.”
Zhang shouted unwillingly, “You’re lying! He did it for you!”
Shen Mu pulled out her dagger, and the blade flashed, blood splattered, and Zhang screamed, “My hand… my hand…”
Shen Mu put away her knife and said, “I’ve settled the score by disabling one of your hands. Remember, you don’t dare touch me not because of who I am, but because I am Shen Mu.”
In the room, Huo Yunxiao watched as Shen Mu calmly broke Zhang’s wrist on the monitor and turned off the screen.
He hadn’t dealt with Zhang yet, wanting Shen Mu to interrogate him, but her mental strength was beyond his imagination.
She faced her former abuser without fear, swift and decisive with her knife.This girl was not the meek and submissive orphan that the outside world portrayed her to be.
She was strong and ruthless, proud and arrogant.
Huo Yunxiao closed his eyes and took out his phone to call Shen Mu, asking, “Is it done?”
Shen Mu replied in her usual tone, “Yes, thank you.”
She didn’t plead or explain, not caring at all when Huo Yunxiao later saw Zhang’s disabled hand.
