Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Mu Yuan laughed. “Do you know her?”

“I drank here a couple of days back. I have seen her before.”

Mu Yuan did not suspect him, and the two ate supper together. Shan Ning wanted to return back to the country with him. Mu Yuan said, “Ye Ling wants me to stay still and wait for his orders.”

“He’s not your real superior. Why do you have to listen to him? This time, he didn’t even send any troops over.”

“After this mission, I’ll enter the secret services, and he will be my superior. This was something decided a long time ago. It is logical for him to do so too.. My life is not worth as much as the entire country.” It was not so easy to solve international conflicts. If they had to sacrifice huge benefits in exchange for him, they would have to spend a few years to compensate for it. It would be a significant loss.

He understood Shan Ning’s worries and unwillingness.

But this was a fate that he had to accept.

“Then, I’ll accompany you.”

“Shan Ning, I want to walk alone.”

“Alright!”

Mu Yuan walked alone in the small town. He had a few suspicions in his heart, but he was unable to entangle them. He did not plan to struggle further either. Suddenly, he heard someone mention something about five million dollars.

“Brother, your white-faced friend is really rich. He took five million dollars to save you. I also picked up ten thousand dollars that day. Thank you. I can’t even earn ten thousand dollars in a year. I picked it up for no reason at all. How satisfying!”

“Yeah, I picked up more than ten thousand dollars too.”

Mu Yuan frowned. What money? 

Where did Shan Ning get five million dollars?

Shan Ning’s family background was indeed decent. His parents were officials, and they had a lot of inherited properties. However, he would be investigated if he took out five million dollars. It was not so easy to withdraw such a large sum of money.

When he asked carefully, he became even more puzzled. Did Shan Ning pull out his entire life savings to rescue him?

Shan Ning was considered to be a rich kid. He had shares in Ye Tingyun’s, Ye Ling’s, and Xie Jinghuan’s company. However, information about him could not be found on the surface. He also knew that it was challenging to withdraw such a huge sum of money at a moment’s notice.

Suddenly, two gunshot sounds rang from the hostel. He immediately dashed to the hostel. However, he could only make it in time to see a few tall men stuff Shan Ning into the car and leave.

Mu Yuan pulled out his gun and shot at the car wheels. However, his shots missed, and he got a mouthful of dust instead.

“Shan Ning!”

One of the men looked back and made a killing gesture. Mu Yuan’s body froze. That man looked similar to Jack. They both had blue eyes and smiled in an arrogant manner.

It was like a bucket of cold water was poured over him. He only felt that his heart had turned into ice, and his body felt like exploding.

What was going on?

He did not hesitate any further and went upstairs to retrieve some weapons. He stole a car directly and tailed after them.

In order to protect Mu Yuan, Jack took a bullet for him. The shot was on his shoulder and was not life-threatening. Wesley folded his arms at his chest and had an icy expression. The two brothers had the same expression.

Devoid of any empathy.

“Why did you go alone to rescue a Chinese Major?”

“We are comrades.”

“I don’t believe you.”

“Then why did you ask?”

“What if you told me?”

Jack laughed. “That’s enough. Leave with Team Fearless. There’s nothing on here anymore. He should be back in his country, and we won’t interact with each other anymore. I will have returned his favor.”

“Do you think that Team Fearless came specially to rescue you? Sara has a mission here, and we passed by coincidentally. By chance, I knew about this and mobilized the team for you.”
