Chapter 737: All Is Well

By the time Li Beinian arrived at the airport, Cheng Su was already waiting for her.
She came forward to help with the suitcases, and then rushed towards the boarding gate.
It was 11: 30 pm when Li Beinian arrived at the Imperial Capital.
She attempted to call Mu Xichen, but no one answered.
She then sent him a text message, which also went unanswered.
She looked at the hazy skies of the capital for a long time before taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.
Hopefully, all would be well.
Hopefully, things could be turned around.
After sending Li Beinian off, Mu Xichen headed straight to the location Bei Lun had specified.
Bei Lun was already waiting there. He was wearing a dark brown leather jacket with a black T-shirt underneath. On it was a caricature of a foreigner’s face. With his sunglasses on, he squatted by the roadside, smoking.
When he spotted Mu Xichen from afar, he stood up. He removed the cigarette from his mouth, flicked the ash off, and walked towards the man.
Mu Xichen’s gaze followed Bei Lun as he approached. Then he slowly got out of the car.
Bei Lun opened his arms and smiled widely. “Hey, old friend!”
Mu Xichen threw him a glance and ignored the greeting.
The smile on Bei Lun’s face deepened. Then, whether intentionally or otherwise, he tossed the cigarette butt at Mu Xichen’s trouser leg.
Mu Xichen turned slightly to avoid it.
Bei Lun sneered. “Let’s go.”
Mu Xichen was brought into an alley. Three men in black leather appeared.
When they saw Mu Xichen, their eyes filled with contempt and resentment.
However, no one acted rashly.
Mu Xichen looked at them. He was as calm as ever and did not look nervous or fearful at all.
Bei Lun hated Mu Xichen to the core. He sneered and ordered, “Search.”
He deliberately spoke in Chinese so that Mu Xichen could communicate more clearly.
They were all members of the P.I.T. and had long held a deep grudge against Mu Xichen.
At this point, they started to search Mu Xichen’s body.
One of them held a metal detector and scanned Mu Xichen from head to toe.
The other person went forward and grabbed his jacket and barked, “Take it off. Is there anything inside?”
Her movements were a little rough. As soon as he touched the jacket, he found his wrist firmly grabbed by a large hand.
The man’s turned pale with pain and let out a curse. “F*ck!”
Mu Xichen’s eyes were steely as he extended his leg and delivered a firm kick.
The move was a merciless one that brought the man to the ground.
The other men’s expressions changed. At once, they rolled up their sleeves and prepared to attack.
“Stop!” Bei Lun’s face darkened. He glared at Mu Xichen with an ugly sneer and demanded, “What are you trying to do!”
Mu Xichen shook out his clothes and said icily, “Get your men to behave.”
The man whose wrist was twisted by Mu Xichen turned sullen. He clenched his jaw and made a move to attack.
Bei Lun glanced at him. “He has to work for us later. If we cripple him, are you going to do the job?”
The man’s face became even more distorted. He showed his middle finger and said with gritted teeth. “I’ll let you be arrogant for a while more.”
Mu Xichen then sneered and shifted his gaze to Bei Lun. “Where is he?”
Bei Lun took out another cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it. He gave an icy laugh. “You’ll have to get changed into our clothes first.”
Mu Xichen raised his eyebrow.
Bei Lun exhaled a ring of smoke and smiled radiantly. “Don’t you try any tricks.”
