Mu Yunxiao looked at him and said angrily, "Brat, the person inside isn't the woman you love, so you can be leisurely. Now that it's my beloved woman and child inside, your twin younger siblings, can you bear to watch them get into trouble?"
Mu Jiuchen looked at him, finding it somewhat amusing. It was the first time he had heard such words from a philanderer.
"Congratulations, you've endured so many springs and autumns and finally found your sweetie. Then, fight for your sweetie! I've already warned you, don't blame me if you get hurt."
Mu Jiuchen made a gesture of invitation.
Mu Yunxiao: "..."
Meng Yuan watched the father and son, finding every word Mu Jiuchen spoke incredibly sarcastic. "Hey! Can you at least create a sense of urgency for saving someone? If you father and son want to bicker, go somewhere else and don't block our way."
Meng Yuan glared fiercely at Mu Jiuchen. This Ninth Master was nothing like the legends!
Mu Jiuchen: "...Why are you glaring? Didn't He Mingrun buy you candy?"
Meng Yuan was taken aback. Why was he suddenly mentioning He Mingrun? She only half-understood his words. Thinking back, Mu Jiuchen seemed to be hinting that she should be sweeter, was that it?
Just as Yun Xia was about to speak, she saw four or five burly guards charging out with knives.
Mu Jiuchen looked at his father, who was eagerly rushing to find his "sweetie," and pointed to the men not far away. "Go on."
Mu Yunxiao's brows furrowed, wishing he could give his son a good beating.
Meng Yuan: "..." She swallowed hard, glad she hadn't rushed in.
"Let Tong Tong go. If you don't have much money, I'll give it to you." Mu Yunxiao's gaze was sharp as he looked at them. Having been in business for a long time, his oppressive aura permeated the surroundings.
"Hmph! Chairman Mu, you're finally here. It seems you care quite a lot about that woman." One of the men, with a scar on his face, smirked at Mu Yunxiao.
"Bastard, where is my sister?" Yun Xia roared tearfully.
Mu Jiuchen casually picked his ear, finding the sound unbearable.
"Hmph! She's inside. We've been treating her well. We heard she's pregnant and very delicate, so we haven't dared to touch her. Our demand is simple: give us ten million."
"Chairman Mu, ten million to buy your beloved woman and your child, it shouldn't be too much, right?"
Another man asked with a wicked grin.
Mu Jiuchen looked at them with a cold smile. "What makes you worthy of this opportunity to earn ten million? If I give you ten million and you let them go, you won't have to work like dogs every day. Though, dogs aren't as tired as you are."
"Who are you? Why are your words so unpleasant?" The scar-faced man glared at Mu Jiuchen fiercely.
Mu Jiuchen felt a sense of disdain seeing these people lack discernment. Their Mu family was rich enough to rival a nation. They only wanted ten million, wasn't that looking down on people?
"Actually, you're quite optimistic. You spend your free time figuring out how to make money, but you have bad luck. You make money, but you don't have the life to spend it."
Scar-faced man: "......?!"
Meng Yuan: "..." Mu Jiuchen's words are so vicious!
She wouldn't dare to say such things.
"Damn it, you brat, what are you talking about? Are you looking for death?" The scar-faced man was completely enraged.
He charged towards Mu Jiuchen, brandishing his knife.
"Little Jiu, hurry up and take them all down," Mu Yunxiao nudged Mu Jiuchen. He needed to find the right moment to rescue Tong Tong.
Mu Jiuchen's heart chilled by half. Although he would have stepped forward even without being pushed, being pushed made his heart grow cold. This was the father who didn't love his mother, readily pushing his child towards death.
Meng Yuan: "...Hey! Are you their real father?"
Meng Yuan was also scared. Looking at the two-meter-long broadsword charging at them, it was terrifying.
"Nuannuan, where are you?" Meng Yuan shouted.
She was good with computers, but she was useless in a fight.
Mu Jiuchen: "Shut up. If something happens, call Jiang Nuan. Why don't you call her when there's good food?"
After speaking, Mu Jiuchen bent down and picked up a large rock, throwing it at the charging scar-faced man.
Seeing the rock flying towards him, the scar-faced man yelled, "Oh oh oh...!" and braked rapidly in fear.
Unable to support his weight, he fell backward with a "bang," kicking up a cloud of dust.
The men standing behind him: "..." The most disgraceful kidnappers in history.
Mu Jiuchen sneered and looked disdainfully at the man who couldn't get up. "With your weight, your poverty is already determined. So, go back and continue cultivating your weight."
The man was so enraged he passed out.
Meng Yuan was stunned. Mu Jiuchen's method was simple and crude. Seizing the opportunity, she shouted, "Xiaxia, throw stones at them!"
Yun Xia also bent down, picked up stones from the ground, and threw them at the men.
Mu Jiuchen quickly dodged aside, shaking his head slightly. So, stupidity is contagious. He only picked up a rock because he couldn't handle the large saber, and he did it by guessing human weaknesses.
What damage could these two women's meager strength do?
As expected, the four men opposite them easily dodged the stones they threw.
Meng Yuan looked at Mu Jiuchen. "Why aren't you throwing?"
Mu Jiuchen spread his hands and explained, "This kind of thing isn't something an elegant person like me would do. You two continue; buy time for Nuannuan. With your intelligence, you won't be able to save the person inside. You should just wait for Nuannuan to surprise you."
Meng Yuan: "..." Would one go crazy following this man?
Are all rich people this strange?
"You wretched woman, keep throwing, and I'll cut you down with a single blow." One of the men was hit on the forehead by a stone thrown by Meng Yuan. A bead of blood emerged, and he grumbled curses.
Meng Yuan also knew Jiang Nuan's methods. She was useless in love, but no one could match her when it came to saving people.
She needed to keep these men occupied to buy more time for Nuannuan.
"Look at your dog-like face, what are you pretending to be cute for? Come over if you have the guts! My temper is bad, but my temperament is good. My personality is not good, but my appearance is good. But the only thing you can be proud of is your good appetite. At your size, will your future wife even recognize you?"
Meng Yuan also resorted to hurling insults.
Mu Jiuchen stood with his arms crossed, leisurely watching Meng Yuan's strenuous performance.
"Not bad, continue," his deep, playful voice sounded as if he were on vacation.
Meng Yuan: "..."
The man being scolded: "..."
Mu Jiuchen continued to encourage Meng Yuan from the side.
"Miss Meng, continue. You must believe in yourself. As long as you work hard, there's nothing you can't accomplish."
Meng Yuan glared at him, panting. "Don't just stand there talking when you're not hurting; I think you'd be most suitable as a statue."
"So, Miss Meng is amazing. As a statue, I am moved by you and cheer you on. Keep up the good work." Mu Jiuchen made a gesture of invitation.
He looked up and saw Jiang Nuan appear by the window on the second floor, fighting fiercely with a large man.
