Mu Jiu Chen glanced casually into the car following them as he passed by.
Then, he naturally shifted his gaze away and walked to his car. He didn't get in, but stood by the driver's side, holding his phone and looking at it.
The moonlight was cold, and the parking lot lights were dim, creating a somewhat chilling atmosphere.
He occasionally looked up at the hospital entrance, checking if his wife had come out. This gave the people in the car behind a false impression that he was waiting for Jiang Nuan.
The man in the black car watched Mu Jiu Chen's back with a devilish gaze, a sinister aura spreading around him.
His cold, ruthless eyes were filled with killing intent.
He slowly raised his gun and aimed it at Mu Jiu Chen's back.
Under the thick night sky, the eerie gun barrel moved forward a few centimeters. The man narrowed one eye, finding his aim, and a faint cold smile touched his lips as he slowly pulled the trigger.
"Bang..." The man was only focused on Mu Jiu Chen in front of him, not noticing Jiang Nuan quietly approaching him.
The moment the man pulled the trigger, Jiang Nuan struck him unconscious with a palm. With a "bang," the gun fell to the ground.
As the man collapsed, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Nuan. In his slowly closing eyes, one could see his shock, reflecting Jiang Nuan's exquisite face.
His head slumped onto the steering wheel, his gaze still fixed on Jiang Nuan's direction, clearly unable to believe he had failed like this.
He was only a second away from success, and he couldn't accept such a failure.
His consciousness drifted for a long time before he finally plunged into darkness.
Jiang Nuan looked at the man. He was very young, around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She noticed calluses on his hands.
This was a man who had spent years holding a gun, living on the edge of life and death.
A pity that he chose to be someone else's dog.
Jiang Nuan's peach blossom eyes dimmed. She took out her phone and called Number One.
Mu Jiu Chen also walked over, looking at the gun on the ground. His eyes flickered, and he smiled, saying, "Nuan Nuan, I deliberately stood with my back to him. I saw his gun barrel pointed at me on my phone, but I wasn't afraid. I knew you wouldn't let anything happen to me. I can trust you with my back."
This man would never have imagined he would fail like this!
Jiang Nuan's heart trembled uncontrollably, and she was inexplicably enveloped by a warmth.
Under the clear, cold night, she bloomed with a warm smile.
His last words made her willing to be his wife for all eternity, through endless reincarnations.
"Thank you! Husband." Jiang Nuan leaned into his embrace.
She realized how fulfilling and joyful it felt to be trusted by someone.
Mu Jiu Chen lowered his gaze and kissed the top of her head.
He laughed, "Silly girl, I should be thanking you, thanking you for treating me as your partner. You were Nanzhou's partner for years, and I was always jealous of that. Now, your partner is me." His deep peach blossom eyes were filled with endless affection.
She suddenly looked up at him, and upon meeting the deep emotion in his eyes, her heart fluttered. Threads of warmth and love enveloped her entire body, "I never expected you to think like that."
"So, you haven't been paying enough attention to me," Mu Jiu Chen said, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
Jiang Nuan: "..." Why did she have to open her mouth?
She smiled, her voice soft, "I will strive to understand you better, but my best understanding of love is growing old together."
"Right!" Mu Jiu Chen smiled and lowered his head, their foreheads touching.
Two handsome men who had arrived upon receiving orders: "..."
Watching the two intimately interacting, both men felt a little embarrassed.
One of the men looked at the scene with some speechlessness. Since having a lover, J had become less cold than before.
"J, there's a man lying next to you. Restrain yourself." The man couldn't help but remind him.
Jiang Nuan heard a familiar voice and suddenly looked up at the two men opposite them, a blush appearing on her face.
"Qiao Mu, Mu Yi, why is it you?" Jiang Nuan asked, surprised.
Qiao Mu smiled, "The captain asked us to focus our attention here, saying that the person we are looking for is around you. We just arrived in Jinshi two hours ago."
Jiang Nuan understood, "Mm! Then I'll leave this person to you. My husband and I are heading home. We'll talk another day."
Qiao Mu: "..."
Indeed, things were different after finding a lover. The members of the Dark Emperor, all single dogs, were bored out of their minds when they had no missions. Boredom led to horniness, and sometimes their conversations were terrifying.
Mu Jiu Chen nodded to the two men and then led Jiang Nuan away.
Mu Yi looked enviously at Jiang Nuan's retreating back, "Qiao Mu, have we been single for too long? Why can't we stand such intimate scenes?"
Qiao Mu rubbed his nose, "Isn't that the truth?"
Then he looked at the man in the car and said, "Drag him out. This scoundrel caused a lot of trouble tonight, and cleaning up will be quite a hassle."
Mu Yi was also furious. He picked up the gun from the ground, opened the car door, and punched the man hard in the back.
"Let's go. When he wakes up, we can hit him a few more times. He's really making a fuss this late at night." Mu Yi's temper was particularly fiery.
Qiao Mu smiled and said, "Tomorrow, we'll go to J's wellness center for a meal."
"Eat what? Eat air? J's wellness center doesn't open until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Qiao Mu: "..."
...
In the car, Mu Jiu Chen couldn't help but ask, "Are all the men in the Dark Emperor handsome?"
The two men from earlier were very good-looking.
Jiang Nuan was feeling a bit sleepy. Hearing Mu Jiu Chen's question, she slowly opened her eyes and asked in confusion, "You don't know?"
Mu Jiu Chen smiled. He had guessed correctly. They served the people every day, busy beyond measure, so where would they find time for romance?
"Hmph! Not only do I know, but I also know they are all a bunch of single dogs."
"Heh heh..." Jiang Nuan was amused by his words.
"Indeed, the Dark Emperor has only a hundred elites, and every single one of them is a single dog, except me."
"Also, people in the Dark Emperor can retire at 50. If they wish to stay, they can transition to behind-the-scenes command and give their positions to the rising stars." Jiang Nuan liked this aspect. Experienced people guiding newcomers greatly reduced the mortality rate in terms of danger.
"That's quite good. Tell Number One that I'll sponsor 100 million yuan as a bonus. I, Mu Jiu Chen, have plenty of money."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Mu Jiu Chen, did you discuss such a large sum of money with me, your wife? Your current assets also belong to me," Jiang Nuan said, blinking her eyes at him. He was indeed very generous.
However, with 100 million for expenses, everyone could live more comfortably.
Mu Jiu Chen suddenly pinched her cheek, "Alright, alright, wife, we'll discuss it when we get back."
Jiang Nuan's mood improved considerably.
In an apartment somewhere, the lights were still off, and the surrounding light cast shadows, vaguely revealing the room's outline.
The old man looked at Mu Yi Chen and said, "I don't have a good feeling about this. Make another call to ask if it was successful."
