After getting in the car, Yun Xi realized how luxurious this off-road vehicle was.

The back seat was extremely s.p.a.cious and nearly three times as wide as an ordinary off-road vehicle. It was separated into two individual seats, and they be put all the way down.

There were concealed refrigerators and various other cabinets in the car. With its tempered gla.s.s that enclosed the entire vehicle, it was an enclosed safe s.p.a.ce.

This was the first time she had ever seen Mu Feichi driving this car.

She didn’t know if it was because Crocodile hadn’t been caught yet that he had become so meticulous about travel safety.

Fortunately, she had disguised herself when she had decided to go out. If any of her acquaintances saw her getting out of Mu Feichi’s car, she really didn’t know how she would be able to explain herself clearly.

She also didn’t understand why Mu Feichi had insisted on having her go with him today.

“Young Marshal Mu, I have a question. The curiosity is eating me up inside.”

Mu Feichi c.o.c.ked his head slightly and cast his eyes down at the tomboy beside him whose pale face reflected childlike stubbornness.

“Ask.”

“If you’re concerned about my safety, Tianyu Mountain is definitely the safest place for me to be. After all, no one would ever dare to attack your home. I become a much easier target if you take me down the mountain. You, who is a perfect business strategist, definitely aren’t unaware of this point.”

“So?” Leaning back in his chair in a relaxed manner, Mu Feichi raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

His handsome face appeared content, as if he had expected her to ask him this question.

He didn’t say anything and simply waited for her to come to the same conclusion as he had, like a hunter waiting for his prey to be hooked by the bait.

“So, Young Marshal Mu, are you using me as bait to lure the snake out of the cave?”

Seemingly irritated yet amused by her absurd reasoning, Mu Feichi chuckled lightly.

“If I wanted to catch someone, do you think I could ever bear to let you be the bait? You forget that you’re one of the three types of people protected by men.”

“Three types of people? Which three types?” Yun Xi was a little curious. She had never heard that men protected people by dividing them into groups.

“Old people, women, and children.”

Yun Xi narrowed her eyes, and a smile played on the corners of her mouth. “Obviously, I don’t look like someone who needs to be protected.”

“Regardless of whether or not you need to be protected, it’s not up to you who has the final say.”

“Then if it’s not to bait the snake out of the cave, what is the reason that you’re taking me down the mountain?”
