CHAPTER 853: CHAPTER 855: GOING WOULD ONLY CAUSE MORE TROUBLE

"Shanshan, Lin Fei really did go to find Yang Chenlong to discuss countermeasures. You’re so smart; you should know they’re not ordinary people. Maybe they can figure out a way to save your father. So, Shanshan, stop overthinking. What you need most now is—"

"What I need most now is to know where my husband has gone! Yutong, tell me the truth, is Lin Fei no longer in New Star Forest? I want the truth!"

Knowing Mu Shanshan’s best friend’s nature and seeing the determination in the woman’s charming eyes, all the responses Xia Yutong had prepared became useless.

Feeling a sense of melancholy, Xia Yutong couldn’t help but fall silent under Mu Shanshan’s probing gaze.

The silence wasn’t intentional; Xia Yutong truly didn’t know what to say. If she lied, given Mu Shanshan’s knowledge of her as the iceberg president, Mu Shanshan would surely discern it.

If she didn’t lie and told the truth, it would only deepen Mu Shanshan’s worries.

Thus, facing Mu Shanshan’s probing gaze, Xia Yutong could only remain silent.

However, Xia Yutong’s silence, in Mu Shanshan’s eyes, was tantamount to confirmation to some extent.

"I need to find him!"

From Xia Yutong’s reaction, Mu Shanshan roughly guessed where her cheap husband Lin Fei had gone. Her heart increasingly burdened with worry, the woman, without any hesitation, immediately pulled out the needle from her hand.

"Shanshan, what are you doing?!" Xia Yutong couldn’t stop Mu Shanshan from pulling out the needle from her hand in time, and instinctively shouted in shock.

Seeing Mu Shanshan ignoring her efforts to dissuade her and insisting on getting out of bed, Xia Yutong noticed the blood oozing from the woman’s hand. As she tried to stop Mu Shanshan, she immediately shouted toward the door, "Doctor, where’s the doctor? Hurry—"

Bam!

Hearing Xia Yutong’s call, the doctor and nurse, instructed by Yang Chenlong to wait outside the door, rushed into the bedroom immediately.

Seeing the iceberg president Mu Shanshan with blood oozing from her hand, the nurse promptly tended to Mu Shanshan’s hand under the doctor’s instructions.

"Get out of my way! I need to find Lin Fei. I need to find my husband, move aside!" The worry in Mu Shanshan’s heart was escalating, and she didn’t show any kindness to the doctor and nurse swarming into her room.

Instead, the woman struggled hard, trying to get out of bed to find Lin Fei.

"Shanshan, calm down. Let me tell you the truth, Lin Fei went to save your father. Before he left, he specifically instructed. No matter what, we must take good care of you. Even if you don’t listen to us, you should listen to Lin Fei, right? If you don’t want him to worry, you should lie in bed properly, take good care of your health, and wait for him to bring your father back safely."

"How can I be at ease? We have no idea what’s happened to my dad. Lin Fei just left like that; it must be very dangerous. What if, what if something happens to him, what do I do?! My dad is already in trouble, if something happens to Lin Fei too, I, I—I need to find them!"

Xia Yutong’s indirect advice and comfort, invoking Lin Fei, failed to calm Mu Shanshan. Instead, it heightened the woman’s inner worry and bolstered her determination to set out to find Lin Fei and Mu Hong.

After speaking, it was hard to tell where this iceberg president Mu Shanshan found the strength. The woman broke free of the dual obstruction of Xia Yutong and the nurse and got out of bed, barefoot, ready to leave the bedroom.

"Madam, please calm down. The Young Master specifically instructed us. Without his command, we cannot let Madam leave the room, no matter what. Please, Madam, return to bed."

Under Yang Chenlong’s specific instruction, Xu Lengxuan guarded the presidential suite where the iceberg president Mu Shanshan was staying. As he spoke to Mu Shanshan, he signaled with his eyes for the doctor and nurse inside Mu Shanshan’s bedroom to help her back to bed.

"I don’t care who sent you, I must leave now!"

Mu Shanshan, worried about Lin Fei and Mu Hong’s safety, clearly disregarded Xu Lengxuan’s dissuasion. For Mu Shanshan at this moment, her whole world was reduced to the safety of Lin Fei and Mu Hong.

Everything else was pushed back for the woman. As for anyone daring to stop her from finding Lin Fei and Mu Hong, they’d face being metaphorically kicked aside as roadblocks.

Had it not been for Xia Yutong and the timely intervention of the doctor and nurse, Xu Lengxuan would certainly have been kicked.

"Madam, I understand your feelings. But, Mr. Lin left last night. Even if you were to leave now, you wouldn’t catch up with him. Moreover, the main point is, apart from the Young Master, none of us know where Mr. Lin actually went."

At this point, Xu Lengxuan took a deep breath and solemnly spoke to Mu Shanshan, "Madam, you might know something about my previous profession. I’m not afraid to tell you; I was formerly a professional mercenary. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Lin must have been in the same line of work as I was. Although I’m unsure of Mr. Lin’s exact identity, I can infer a few things from the relationship between Mr. Lin and the Young Master."

After speaking, Xu Lengxuan signaled with his eyes for the doctor and nurse supporting Mu Shanshan to leave.

Then, Xu Lengxuan looked around, stepped closer to Mu Shanshan, and whispered, "I dare not speculate rashly about Mr. Lin’s identity. However, there is one thing I can very confidently assure you, Madam: you need not worry about Mr. Lin’s safety. There are very few, if any, people in this world who can harm Mr. Lin. These wandering pirates, without protection, are no match for us. Let alone Mr. Lin, even in our heyday at Fish Lion, we could still fight them boldly!"

"Now that Mr. Lin is personally involved, I can swear on my life to you, Madam, within twenty-four hours, Mr. Lin will definitely return with your father. Not only I can make this guarantee, but also the Young Master can offer the same assurance to you, Madam. If you don’t believe my word, Madam, I can call the Young Master right now."

"However, before I call the Young Master, there is one thing I must remind you, Madam. Have you considered that if you insist on seeking out Mr. Lin, perhaps the Young Master might relent for a moment and agree for you to go. But, Madam, if you do go, you will only add to Mr. Lin’s complications. So, if you truly care for Mr. Lin and your father, then what you need to do most is not to find them but to wait for them here at ease."

In response to Xu Lengxuan’s well-reasoned persuasion, this iceberg president Mu Shanshan couldn’t help but fall silent...
