CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 1054: HUSBAND HERO SAVES THE BEAUTY (4)

"You don’t need to care. Go worry about that basketball-playing senior of yours."

Mu Wan: "..."

Qin Mu responded coldly. Mu Wan clenched her small hands, her palms raw and bloody from the skin recently being scraped off.

Mu Wan’s beautiful eyes dimmed slightly as she tried to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Seeing the woman’s silence and the way she lowered her beautiful eyes, Qin Mu felt his fury surge uncontrollably.

This woman... silence meant admission.

Qin Mu’s piercing dark eyes shifted to the man in front of him, who was flailing wildly with an air of aggression. The corners of Qin Mu’s lips curved into a mocking smirk.

"Fine. Why don’t we see for ourselves—when the police arrive, will they help you or me...?"

The Frenchman was startled by Qin Mu’s confident tone, his heart pounding erratically. He grew even more unsure about the background of the man standing before him.

Could it be... had he provoked someone influential? All he truly wanted was to extort a bit of money.

...

The ambulance and police quickly arrived. Mu Wan initially wanted to persuade Qin Mu to get checked out, but the man rejected her outright with a frosty glare.

Like a child who had made a mistake, Mu Wan could only follow Qin Mu as they headed to the police station. The female secretary, sharp-eyed, noticed the injury on Mu Wan’s palm and leaned closer to her ear to whisper softly, "Miss Mu, you’re hurt. Should we go to the hospital for bandaging...?"

"It’s fine, I’ll wait until the case is handled."

Facing the woman’s concerned expression, Mu Wan responded briefly. At the moment, Qin Mu’s face screamed "keep your distance."

She didn’t want to stir up trouble now, especially after a terrible mistake had already been made.

Though, the wound on her palm throbbed with a tearing, agonizing pain.

...

In the police station, Mu Wan initially worried that Qin Mu might struggle to explain the situation, but to her surprise, the station’s chief personally escorted Qin Mu out of the interrogation room after only thirty minutes.

"Mr. Qin, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused today. It’s a failure on our part to properly manage my jurisdiction. I truly cannot shirk responsibility for this."

Qin Mu narrowed his long, dark eyes slightly, his expression full of careless arrogance as he looked at the submissive man before him. His thin lips curved into a devilish smile.

"It’s fine... After all, no one died, right? Still, this kind of street thug, brazenly extorting people, makes it quite challenging for a law-abiding citizen like me to feel comfortable investing in France. I wouldn’t want to run into trouble that’s difficult to clarify later on."

"Of course... Rest assured, I will severely punish them..."

"Good..."

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes further. While he had initially considered offering some sort of settlement, the other party had simply crossed too many lines. And what’s more, these were well-known local thugs in the French district.

The police chief gazed at Qin Mu with trepidation. Despite his youth—only twenty-six years old—Qin Mu’s boldness and audacity in business investments had earned him a fierce reputation.

After receiving the report earlier, the chief had immediately been given instructions from above. Apparently, Qin Mu’s visit to France this time stemmed from his intention to pursue several investments.

Thus, under no circumstances could he afford to anger this man.

He could only bow and scrape.

...

Mu Wan didn’t understand much of the exchange in French between the two men. However, it was evident that the issue appeared to have been resolved, with the other party displaying an attitude of respect—bordering on reverence—toward Qin Mu.

Mu Wan was somewhat surprised by this.

"This must be the young madam, right? Such a beautiful woman, Mr. Qin, you are truly fortunate."

The police chief heaped praise on Mu Wan, himself well-aware of the fact that Qin Mu and Mu Wan had recently tied the knot in Yuncheng City, making headlines there for an entire week.
