Shu Zhibei definitely couldn't have his phone go unanswered at this crucial juncture. The only explanation was that something had happened!
Qi Yuan's face was grim and furious, ashen.
He had never imagined that Shu Yu would be so ruthless and vicious!
But then again, there was no more time to wait.
Qi Yuan immediately turned to Mu Yinyin beside him and said sternly, "Yinyin, you need to come with me somewhere. This matter concerns you, and it concerns Qi Mo."
Mu Yinyin couldn't help but frown.
What kind of place would concern both her and Qi Mo?
However, Fu Siye was by her side.
Fu Siye's steps and expression said it all.
No matter what happened, he was there!
But.
Qi Yuan blocked Fu Siye's path, his face filled with displeasure, "You don't need to come."
Fu Siye didn't speak, but his gaze fell on Mu Yinyin.
His sharp eyes conveyed everything.
He didn't need anyone else to dictate his actions, not even if it was Qi Mo's father.
Seeing this, Mu Yinyin quickly stepped forward to block Fu Siye.
Her red lips slowly parted, "You heard Uncle Qi just now, but thank you anyway."
She wasn't someone ungrateful.
She knew Fu Siye's temperament, which was why she didn't want him to get into an argument with Qi Yuan.
"Yinyin, let's go. If we don't leave now, it will be too late," Qi Yuan urged Mu Yinyin. At that moment, his face was solemn, his brows deeply furrowed.
His expression said it all.
Mu Yinyin no longer paid attention to Fu Siye and turned to leave with Qi Yuan. However, Fu Siye grabbed her wrist.
Fu Siye's cold, stern face conveyed everything.
Mu Yinyin found it both helpless and amusing, "Fu Siye, what are you doing?"
They were already divorced. He hated her and despised her for her shamelessness.
According to his logic and reasoning, whether she lived or died shouldn't concern him, right?
Fu Siye's grip tightened, his entire face becoming like frost, his eyes resolute, "In this situation, anything you do would be inappropriate."
Since the Shu family could break their engagement and disregard their relationship, and Mu Yinyin wasn't even part of the Shu family, what role could she play at this juncture?
Qi Yuan's anger flared up instantly.
He strode forward and yanked Fu Siye's hand away from Mu Yinyin's wrist. "Stop causing trouble here and leave. You're not welcome!"
This turn of events was something Mu Yinyin hadn't expected.
She said helplessly, "Fu Siye, really, stop this."
She didn't want Fu Siye to ruin her plans, regardless of his intentions.
Fu Siye's eyes darkened further, but he didn't retort. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go with you."
With that tone and expression, Mu Yinyin was sure she hadn't misheard or misread.
Mu Yinyin's eyelashes fluttered slightly, her gaze holding a hint of disbelief.
He... wanted to follow her because... he was worried about her?
"You're not going to see Nan Shiqing in the hospital, and you want to follow me? Fu Siye, what exactly are you up to?"
Fu Siye's thin lips were pressed into a tight, straight line.
Even now, she didn't understand?
He gazed at her with a touch of dissatisfaction, "I wouldn't stoop to meddling, would I?"
Mu Yinyin: "!"
This tone of displeasure!
Was it because of her?
Right now, it was just the two of them, but she absolutely refused to believe that Fu Siye genuinely cared for her.
Suddenly, she let out a low, sarcastic laugh, "Fu Siye, I truly admire you for going this far. But I'm not Nan Shiqing, nor am I the Mu Yinyin of the past."
She wouldn't fall head over heels for a little bit of kindness anymore. The current Fu Siye was no longer worth her pouring out her heart and soul.
Whether she was safe or in danger, she didn't need Fu Siye as her bodyguard!
"Uncle Qi, let's go."
Mu Yinyin stopped looking at Fu Siye and turned away after saying this.
Some things, when hinted at, would be understood.
Although neither she nor Qi Yuan wanted him to follow, who was he?
It was easy for Fu Siye to follow behind them.
However, not long after Mu Yinyin got into the car with Qi Yuan, a large truck lost control and sped towards them!
"Mu Yinyin!"
"Mu Yinyin!"
...
Fu Siye was calling her name, his voice filled with urgency and desperation.
The driver's desperate swerve was too late, and they had no way to jump out. Qi Yuan's first instinct was to shield Mu Yinyin beside him.
Regardless of how the vehicle was impacted or overturned, Qi Yuan held on tightly.
It wasn't until a strong smell of blood filled the air that Mu Yinyin realized Qi Yuan's grip on her began to loosen.
Mu Yinyin's pupils constricted!
"Uncle Qi!"
In the confined space, Mu Yinyin quickly administered emergency aid to Qi Yuan.
"Uncle Qi, you must be alright..."
She hadn't anticipated such a situation.
If the target was her, she had now brought Qi Yuan into it, and even worse, at the most dangerous moment, Qi Yuan had shielded her beneath him.
How could she remain calm?
How would she face Qi Mo?
Her face was deathly pale!
"Mu Yinyin! Are you alright!!" The voice from outside suddenly made Mu Yinyin's expression soften. She immediately replied, "I'm fine, but Uncle Qi...!"
Saying this, she didn't know how to continue.
"Cough, cough!"
Under Mu Yinyin's continuous emergency compressions, Qi Yuan finally reacted.
Mu Yinyin quickly reached for the small pills she carried with her, but Qi Yuan grabbed her hand and said, "Yinyin, you must save Qi Mo. You are the..."
"Bang!"
A deafening noise erupted nearby, making Mu Yinyin's scalp tingle.
She felt as if the world was spinning.
Qi Yuan was still holding onto her, and she could sense his determination to protect her.
"Mu Yinyin—!"
Before her consciousness faded, she heard Fu Siye call her name once more...
When she woke up, the strong smell of disinfectant stimulated her taste buds, making her feel even more dizzy.
She and Qi Yuan had been in a car accident, a deliberately caused one...
The words "car accident" seized her brain nerves, and she instantly sobered up.
"Be careful!"
An displeased, low growl reached her ears.
Mu Yinyin recognized it as Fu Siye's voice.
Looking up, she saw Fu Siye before her. His expression was exceptionally serious, but his dark eyes revealed a trace of worry.
Mu Yinyin recalled the situation and anxiously grabbed Fu Siye's hand, "Where is Uncle Qi? Is he alright?"
"He's seriously injured."
Seeing Mu Yinyin's concern, Fu Siye couldn't keep it from her. "Qi Yuan used his body to protect you, so you only have scratches on your forehead and arm."
