"I, I... Manager Zhang, I didn’t do it on purpose, I really didn’t, I, I don’t know anything."
"Don’t know? Don’t know who told you to do that, or don’t know whether you can see tomorrow’s sun?"
Mu Yichen hugged Qin Mu, feeling a surge of hatred in his heart as he looked at the injury on her elbow.
Unable to listen to the waitress’s melodramatic lines any longer, his gaze, cast in her direction, only reached the small leather shoes on her feet, as if looking at her would dirty his eyes.
The waitress, terrified, immediately looked up at him, but as she saw his compelling gaze, she shook her head frantically, tears starting to float in her eyes.
"I, I... It’s all my fault, all my fault. Please, Manager Mu, forgive me, I won’t ever dare again!"
She stepped forward and knelt beside Mu Yichen, grabbing his trouser leg and pleading for mercy.
"Get lost!" Mu Yichen, almost reflexively lifted his leg and viciously kicked the waitress away.
Even Qin Mu was startled by his action and sat beside him, feigning calm.
Helian Hao had already turned pale, wondering to himself if this girl was foolish, still trying to take the blame for others when her own life was at risk.
The girl was kicked to the edge of the coffee table, the pain in her back making it so she couldn’t catch her breath, she neither dared to cry nor could she stop her body from twitching.
"Manager Mu, there might be more to this situation. Let me take care of it, I will explain everything to you."
The middle-aged leader, sensing that the situation was dire, immediately approached with a request upon realizing some problems. Qin Mu knew that this affair was certainly no simple entrapment, but with Mu Yichen’s way of dealing with it at the moment, this girl was going to be half-dead if not completely so.
"I’ll take you home first!" he whispered to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu nodded, originally wanting to immediately find out the cause, but later realized it wasn’t that easy. If this girl was being threatened or something else, getting her to spill the beans wouldn’t be simple, so she got up as Mu Yichen hugged her.
"Call Jing Feng and have him take full responsibility for this."
After putting Qin Mu in the car, Mu Yichen turned back and spoke to Helian Hao.
The weather was overcast, and although it felt cooler in the summer, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts at that moment.
Manager Zhang, instinctively asking for help, turned to look at Helian Hao: It would be best if that girl obediently revealed who was behind this.
"Behind this?" Manager Zhang was taken aback.
"Otherwise? Could a mere waitress have the capability to devise a rape in such a short span of time? And those professional paparazzi, could a mere waitress get in touch with them?"
After speaking, Helian Hao took out her mobile phone from her bag, feeling guilty for insisting on shopping with Qin Mu. She immediately called Jing Feng and relayed Mu Yichen’s message to him word for word.
After Jing Feng hung up the phone, he immediately grabbed his jacket and went to the mall. Helian Hao was still waiting there, and when she saw him, she ran over: "You are finally here, it’s all my fault for insisting on bringing her shopping, and then this happened. You must find out what’s going on."
The two police officers following him spoke: "You know this isn’t within my jurisdiction."
"Master Jing, let’s go over there."
The two police officers led the way, and Helian Hao watched them go, then looked at him: "Did you call them?"
"Since someone has broken the law, the law enforcers must act."
With that, Jing Feng walked inside, hugging her.
Manager Zhang and several directors were terrified, remembering the words of the boss over the phone, and thinking of Mu Yichen and Jing Feng, they were truly troubled.
That evening, Mu Yichen was applying medicine to Qin Mu’s wounds. During the scuffle in the mall, she was thrown by that man, and her back had hit the sink, leaving a large patch of bruise now green and purple.
Mu Yichen, while applying medicine, couldn’t help but sigh: "Cry out if it hurts!"
Mu Yichen felt both pained and resentful, this woman was just too stubborn.
The mobile phone rang the next second, and both of them turned towards the phone lying aside.
