Chapter 1171: Finding Life

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, the Wei family’s backyard was so quiet that only the sounds of insects and birds could be heard.

Wei Jin sat on the bed, feeling uneasy. Her mind was filled with inexplicable thoughts. At that moment, someone suddenly knocked on the window.

The lights in the room were switched off, and only the faint moonlight seeped in. Wei Jin lay down carefully and reached under the pillow to hold the gun inside.

The sound from the window continued. Wei Jin’s heart was pounding. She held the gun nervously and aimed it at the window.

The window seemed to have finally been pried open and opened a small gap. A figure crawled into the room sneakily from outside the window.

Wei Jin was about to put her hand down when the moonlight shone on the figure’s head. Wei Jin saw a reflection of silver light. Her eyes suddenly widened. She put down the gun and asked tentatively, “Mu Feng?”

“Shh.” Mu Feng quickly flashed to Wei Jin.

His silver hair shone faintly under the moonlight, followed by the familiar faint smell of Mu Feng.

Wei Jin’s eyes turned red. She hurriedly lifted the blanket and prepared to get out of bed, but Mu Feng had already hugged her.

“Mu Feng, sob, sob, you’re finally here.” Burying herself in Mu Feng’s arms and feeling the familiar warmth, Wei Jin felt that her already cold heart was filled with warmth again.

“Good girl.” Hearing Wei Jin’s cries, Mu Feng’s heart ached. He touched Wei Jin’s hair. “Stop crying. Let me take a look.”

As he spoke, Mu Feng took out a small glowing gem and looked at Wei Jin quietly with the light of the gem.

Compared to before, Wei Jin had lost a lot of weight. Her already sharp chin seemed to have her bones protruding out.

Mu Feng touched Wei Jin’s face with heartache. “I’m sorry. I made you suffer.”

“It’s not your fault.” Wei Jin shook her head. It was all my family’s problem and had nothing to do with others. 

Mu Feng leaned over and kissed Wei Jin’s face with endless longing.

It had been a long time since she had seen Mu Feng. Although Wei Jin was shy, she let him go.

Although Mu Feng missed Wei Jin very much, he gave up after kissing her twice. Now, there was something more important.

Mu Feng looked at Wei Jin. “I came with Jun Shiling and the rest. Listen to me…”

Mu Feng patiently explained all the plans to Lin Qingyuan, then stroked Wei Jin’s hair. “Time is limited. It’s almost time for the next shift to change. Don’t worry, I’ll bring you back tomorrow.”

Wei Jin nodded. “I understand. Be careful when you leave. The Wei family’s security is very tight.”

“Mm.” Mu Feng kissed the tears from the corners of Wei Jin’s eyes dry, then turned and left, disappearing into the night.

In the surveillance room.

The camera flashed quickly. The staff who was eating instant noodles blinked and the entire scene returned to normal.

“What’s going on? The nutritional powder isn’t working?” The staff scratched his head. “I’ll go and eat some vitamins tomorrow. There might be something wrong with my eyes.”

In a hotel not far from the Wei family, looking at Mu Feng, who had finally returned safely, Lin Jing issued an order for everyone to return to their positions.

“Thank you.” Mu Feng nodded at Lin Jing.

“Young Master Mu, you’re too kind. I’m also under CEO Jun’s orders.” Lin Jing handed Mu Feng a room card. “Young Master Mu, rest early.”

“Okay.” Mu Feng took the room card and returned to the room. Although he was tired, he was not sleepy at all.

His heart ached when he thought of Wei Jin’s hoarse voice. Wei Jin had suffered a lot when he was not around.

In the Wei family, after just meeting Mu Feng, Wei Jin was also overwhelmed with emotions. Now, she could not sleep at all. She touched the place on her face that Mu Feng had kissed and felt a little expectant.

No matter what happens tomorrow, Mu Feng is here.

Continent F.

After a few days of recuperation and with Xia Yu’s young age, his recovery speed was strong. Soon, the wounds on Xia Yu’s body began to gradually heal. It was no longer like a few days ago when he began to bleed with a casual move.

Stone brought water and compressed food over. “Brother Xia Yu, this is for you.”

Xia Yu glanced at it. “Isn’t this the last biscuit left? Why are you giving it to me?”

“You’re injured. I’m small, I’m not hungry.” Stone pursed his lips and swallowed hard, but his hand remained in front of Xia Yu.

“No need. Split it into two. We’ll each take half.” Xia Yu took the biscuit and broke it into two, then handed half of it to Stone. “I know you’re a good child, but if you don’t eat, how will you have the strength to walk later?”

Stone looked at Xia Yu in surprise. “Are we leaving later?”

“Mm.” Xia Yu threw the compressed biscuit into his mouth. The dry texture choked Xia Yu’s heart. “It’s been three days. We have to look for your Sister Lin Yi.”

His wound was already slowly healing. It was time to set off.

If they were any later, they would probably not be able to catch up to Lin Yi and the rest.

“Okay.” Stone nodded obediently.

Xia Yu felt a little strange. “Aren’t you afraid? Follow us in this bullet storm.”

If it were an ordinary child, not to mention escaping with them, they would probably be so frightened that they could not walk at all.

“No.” Stone shook his head and looked at Xia Yu seriously. “I have Daddy and Mommy protecting me, and you and Sister Lin Yi protecting me.”

To Stone, after his parents died, Xia Yu was his support. As long as Xia Yu was around, Stone was not afraid of anything.

“Good child.” Xia Yu stroked Stone’s head. “Alright, eat quickly. After eating, we’re going to find your Sister Lin Yi.”

“Okay!”

At this moment, in the city 200 kilometers away from Xia Yu and the rest.

Lin Yi was sitting by the bed and helping the person on the bed bandage his wound.

“How is he?” The leader looked at Lin Yi’s professional skills and was satisfied.

Although this woman had a tough personality and could not be beaten or touched, her medical skills were indeed not bad. Otherwise, he would have thrown her into the desert to feed the wolves.

Lin Yi finished the last step of bandaging and tied the knot. “The bullets have been taken out. As long as he recuperates well, he will recover in a while.”

“Okay, well done.” The leader looked at his subordinate lying on the bed and saw that his face was no longer as pale. “What did you say you wanted to buy yesterday? Go buy it and get someone to follow you.”

“I need gauze and some medicine.”

The leader did not understand the medicine Lin Yi was talking about. He waved his hand. “Alright, stop talking to me here. Go and buy it. Xiao Wu, follow her.”

“Yes.”

A tall and thin black man followed Lin Yi out. Lin Yi walked to the pharmacy and bought a pile of medicine.

The black man watched her closely.

Lin Yi had been looking for an opportunity, but she had no choice. She was about to return upstairs, but there was no opportunity.

At that moment, a child suddenly fell beside Lin Yi. Lin Yi was shocked. When she reacted, he took his pulse and saw that a bullet had been fired at the child’s leg.

The bullet had been left inside for too long, and the child had lost a lot of blood.

Looking at the bullet, Lin Yi could not help but shake her head. “How young is he? They’re really crazy.”

With that, Lin Yi squatted down and wanted to clean the child’s wound.

Xiao Wu wanted to stop her, but Lin Yi pointed at the child.

Xiao Wu took a look. The child had the same black skin as him.

In this land, whites had always been the top. Who would care about the lives of these people?

Perhaps because Lin Yi’s actions had moved him, Xiao Wu silently agreed to Lin Yi’s actions.

Lin Yi turned around and fed the child some of the medicine she had just bought.

The wound on his leg was not deep. The bullet had only just grazed it, so it was very simple to deal with.

The child had already woken up and was looking at Lin Yi in confusion.

Because the wound stimulated by the medicine was very painful, tears seeped out of the child’s eyes.

Lin Yi smiled at him and hummed a song as he bandaged his wound. “Twinkle, twinkle, little stars. How I wonder what you are?”

The child had never heard such a ballad before. He was momentarily stunned and forgot the pain in his leg.

Xiao Wu did not feel anything unusual. He only urged her in a language that Lin Yi did not understand. “Hurry up.”

Lin Yi hummed as she bandaged it.

By the time the wound was bandaged, the child had already remembered Lin Yi’s song.

“Alright.” Lin Yi stood up. “Go up.”

“Mm.” Xiao Wu left with Lin Yi. Behind him, the child looked at his bandaged wound and turned to walk home.

Lin Xi,

Mu Ting sat on the sofa and replied to Zhang Yi’s call impatiently, “That’s enough. I’m here to attend a banquet. Why do you keep calling me every day?”

Zhang Yi smiled awkwardly. “Hubby, what are you talking about? I miss you, right? The child in my stomach misses you too. Last night, he even dreamed of me and said that he wanted to talk to Daddy.”

The excuse was easy to use once, but after using it too many times, it became annoying.

Mu Ting rolled his eyes. “Then our son is really very busy. He enters your dream every day. If he misses me so much, why doesn’t he come to my dream to see me?”

Zhang Yi was speechless by Mu Ting’s words.

“Alright, I’m busy. Stop calling,” Mu Ting said and hung up impatiently.

“How annoying,” Mu Ting muttered.

Why didn’t I realize that Zhang Yi was so annoying in the past? In the past, although Zhang Yi occasionally made a fuss, she was still a good person overall. Now, she was really getting more and more impatient. 

“CEO Mu.” At this moment, the secretary walked over and handed the document to Mu Ting.

“Is there any news of Mu Feng?”

“Jun Shiling’s people are guarding the hospital, so our people can’t approach. However, we’ve been monitoring the situation outside the hospital. Over the past few days, we haven’t found any abnormalities. Young Master is still recuperating in the hospital, and the number of times the doctor goes in to check on him every day is very stable.”

“Alright, I understand.” Mu Ting waved his hand. “As long as Mu Feng doesn’t cause any trouble.”

“Okay,” the secretary said and was about to leave.

At this moment, Mu Ting stopped her. “Xiao Li, when did you come to the Mu family?”

The secretary turned around and lowered her head respectfully. “CEO Mu, I came last year.”

“Oh.” Mu Ting’s eyes darted around the secretary. “Why didn’t I realize before that you’re quite good-looking, Little Li?”

The secretary looked up and smiled at Mu Ting. “CEO Mu, you must be joking. You only see Madam in your eyes. How can you see small characters like us?”

Mu Ting put down the document in his hand.

As an adult, if he could not understand the hints in the secretary’s eyes, he would have lived in vain for decades.

Mu Ting waved at the secretary. “Come here.”

The secretary smiled and sat beside Mu Ting naturally. “CEO Mu, will Madam call to control you tonight?”

It would have been better if the secretary had not said this. Once he said this, Mu Ting thought of how Zhang Yi always controlled him.

In the past, he felt that Zhang Yi was throwing a tantrum and gave in to her.

However, recently, Mu Ting had been tortured by Zhang Yi’s strong desire to control.

He glanced at the secretary’s young face. “Can’t I just turn off my phone? Little Li, are you willing to give me a child?”

The secretary was stunned and lowered her head shyly. Her eyes were filled with ecstasy. She had finally waited for this opportunity! “CEO Mu, I’m your secretary. Of course I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”

Mu Ting smiled and pulled the secretary over. The two of them instantly lay on the sofa.

The next day, at dawn, the Wei family had already begun to hustle.

Ding Hui walked into Wei Jin’s bedroom with a bitter expression. Seeing Wei Jin sitting in front of the dressing table and dressing up, pain flashed across Ding Hui’s eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Wei Jin glanced at Ding Hui. “Since you know you’ve let me down, why are you crying here? What’s the point of repenting after what you’ve done?”

Ding Hui wiped her tears. “I think that Young Master Lin treats you quite well. If you marry him, you won’t have to worry about food and clothing. The Lin family’s connections are simple. As Madam Lin, you’re second only to him. I believe your life will definitely improve.”

Wei Jin sneered. “Is it fun to find excuses for yourself?”

“Mom thinks so from the bottom of her heart. Although what I did was wrong, I did it for your own good. Look at how glorious it is for you to marry over. Do you know how many people want to marry Young Master Lin but don’t have this chance?”

Wei Jin opened her mouth, revealing her scalded throat. “Thank you, my biological mother, for personally pushing me into the fire pit.”

Ding Hui was momentarily speechless. She, who was already used to being suppressed, subconsciously began to find excuses for Lin Qingyuan. “Did you make him angry? Just don’t mention your Mu Feng in front of him in the future. Young Master Lin looks gentle and elegant. If you don’t provoke him, he definitely won’t attack.”
