For some reason, Lin Yin felt that the clearly vexed Lu Ming was especially interesting. Her face was covered in a gentleness that even she did not realize.

When Mu Xiao entered, he saw the joy on Lin Yin’s face and couldn’t help but sigh slightly. He broke the inexplicable harmonious silence between Lin Yin and Lu Ming.

Lu Ming subconsciously took a step back and nodded at Mu Xiao as a greeting.

“Yinyin needs more rest. As for the rest, Lu Ming, you can tell me directly.” Mu Xiao’s eyes were smiling, but his words seemed to be chasing him away.

Lin Yin looked at Mu Xiao in confusion. She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that her family didn’t want her to interact too much with Lu Ming. This wasn’t the first time.

Lu Ming’s expression did not change. He just smiled at Lin Yin and said, “Rest well. There’s still your brother, me, and the rest.”

Seeing Lin Yin nod, Lu Ming went out with Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao closed the door considerately and looked at Lu Ming. He said sincerely, “I’ve troubled you this time. Thank you for taking care of Yinyin like she’s a junior. It seems like it wasn’t in vain for Yinyin to call you Uncle.”

In Mu Xiao’s opinion, if it weren’t for Lin Yin, Lu Ming probably wouldn’t have gotten involved. No matter what, Lu Ming’s act of protecting Lin Yin was real, so he had to say thank you.

However, there were some things that could happen less frequently.

Mu Xiao’s words made Lu Ming feel a little upset.

Helping Lin Yin was what he wanted. However, when Mu Xiao said such things, it was as if he was using Lu Yan and Lin Yin’s relationship to clarify his relationship with Lin Yin, making it seem like he and Lin Yin were distant.

Lu Ming lowered his eyes and smiled. Then, he said casually, “You’re welcome.”

After sending Lu Ming off, Mu Xiao was about to turn around and go back when he saw Mu Heng get out of the car with a dark expression.

“Big Brother, what happened?” Mu Xiao asked.

Mu Heng calmed down slightly. Before he could speak, he saw Mu Cheng and his wife getting out of the car with solemn expressions.

Seeing Mu Heng and Mu Xiao, Mu Cheng and his wife brought the two of them to the study.

Mu Ran, who came out of the kitchen with soup, saw his family’s expression and subconsciously asked, “What’s wrong? Why doesn’t everyone look good?”

Mu Heng smiled and said, “It’s fine. Everyone is just worried about Yinyin’s injuries. Are you going to serve her soup?”

Mu Ran nodded and said, “Yes, yes. I saw that Yinyin didn’t eat much just now. I was afraid that she would be hungry later, so I got someone to boil some fish soup.”

Mu Heng nodded. “Then hurry up and go up. Yinyin is probably still waiting to drink your soup.”

Mu Ran did not doubt anything else. He nodded and walked towards Lin Yin’s room with the soup.

Meanwhile, Mu Cheng and his wife brought their other two sons into the study.

“Dad, Mom, have you guys been asked for a chat too?” Mu Heng asked, but his tone was firm.

Mu Cheng nodded. “Looks like you too.”

Mu Heng’s expression was cold. “These people cherish their feathers but don’t care about their subordinates. Now that such a thing has happened, they still have the cheek to come over and tell us not to care. They clearly want those girls to be humiliated for nothing.”

Mu Xiao frowned and asked, “Is it those people from the military? What did they say to you?”

Ye Wen gritted her teeth and even suppressed her voice from between her lips. “Those people from the military sent someone over to persuade our Mu Family not to care about those girls. They said that they had obtained the information too. There’s a video to prove that those girls sold their bodies for money. They even said that even if our Mu Family participated, the outcome would still be the same. They’re simply going too far.”

Mu Cheng said with a deep gaze, “It must be those people from the Li Family who instigated those leaders in the military who don’t know the truth. After all, just looking at the stacks of cash in those videos and the background of those girls is enough to confuse many people. It makes people suspect that those girls tricked these rich and high-ranking officials for money.”

“In addition, Li Mu insisted that he knew about these things by accident, so he secretly came to this school many times to find out if the Yue Corporation used the excuse of providing scholarships to force female students to provide sexual services to these rich and high-ranking officials.”

“He hasn’t done anything yet, but he’s being investigated. In the eyes of the military, someone from the outside is deliberately slandering the military. They naturally won’t ignore it,” Mu Heng said in a low voice.
