Shui Chaoyu and Mu Chaohuan didn’t understand the meaning between them, and thought the two were exchanging loving glances.
Mr. Gu and his wife were publicly tormenting them single folks, as if these singles weren’t even fit to be human!
After dinner, Shui Chaoyu hooked his arm around Mu Chaohuan’s shoulder, "Let’s go!"
"Where to?" Mu Chaohuan frowned.
"Overtime." Shui Chaoyu thought this guy was really clueless, couldn’t he see how sweetly his sister and brother-in-law were getting along?
"Xiao Han rarely comes by, I’m not working overtime." Mu Chaohuan still didn’t get it.
Shui Chaoyu wore a disdainful expression, "How are you going to date someone in the future with this attitude?"
Mu Chaohuan: "?"
"Come on! You work overtime first, earn more money, even if no girl is interested in you, if they’re interested in your money, it’s still something." Shui Chaoyu left with him, arm in arm.
Mu Chaohuan turned back to look at Mu Anhan, "Xiao Han, when are you heading back? Take care! I’ll come see you whenever I can!"
Mu Anhan smiled, "Not leaving until tomorrow, big brother, go ahead and take care of your work!"
After Shui Chaoyu and Mu Chaohuan left, she said, "Hubby, do you think Vice Marshal Shui is planning to find me a sister-in-law?"
Gu Xiaozhan washed hands with her, and a restaurant waiter holding a tray handed over a warm, damp towel.
Gu Xiaozhan looked at her, then went to take the towel, "He even promises kids, would you believe it?"
Mu Anhan laughed! Seeing Shui Chaoyu and Mu Chaohuan get along so well now, it’s not impossible.
But quickly, her smile froze.
She saw that the hand Gu Xiaozhan had extended to take the towel was already bleeding, and with his other hand, he shielded her behind him.
The waiter now held a gleaming, sharp blade, having pierced Gu Xiaozhan’s palm.
If he hadn’t been continuously watching Mu Anhan, he would have surely noticed it earlier and dodged the assassination attempt.
The initial strike only injured Gu Xiaozhan’s hand, and when the assassin advanced again, he gained no advantage.
Moreover, as soon as Lie Huo, who was outside the door, heard the noise, he rushed in and kicked the waiter’s blade away.
Seeing the assassination fail, the waiter immediately sought a chance to escape.
But the guards closed in on him, cold gun barrels aimed at him.
Lie Huo called to the guards, "Notify Shui Chaoyu, full alert. Get a doctor!"
Gu Xiaozhan had decided on a whim to come to Weihai to inspect the oil operations, but this assassin appeared to have been prepared all along.
If word got out that a soldier tried to assassinate the commander of the three troops, it would be a joke.
Mu Anhan immediately checked the wound, grabbed his arm and said in panic, "Hubby, sit down, I’ll treat your wound, the blade was poisoned."
Lie Huo kicked the waiter, forcing him to his knees, "What kind of poison did you use?"
"What poison? Of course I won’t tell you!" he sneered looking at Gu Xiaozhan and said, "Even if I can’t kill you, I’ll let this poison ruin you down to nothing."
Lie Huo kicked down, breaking the bone in his knee, "Who sent you?"
"I was sent by Mu Chaohuan," he laughed triumphantly.
Mu Anhan had already taken out silver needles, applying acupuncture to Gu Xiaozhan to seal his acupoints and stop the poison from spreading.
As she heard the words, her hand holding the needle paused involuntarily.
Big brother? How could it be?
No way! Big brother would never harm the man she loved the most!
