Chapter 412 - From Now On, You’re My Brother! (2/2)
Li Beinian turned to Madam Zhou with anger in her eyes. Just as she was about to lash out at her, someone stopped her.
A low voice came from the back. “Mrs. Zhou, let’s have a cup of coffee.”
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou replied with a face full of disgust, “Who are you to have coffee with me?”
“Ma’am, the person whom you are speaking to holds the position of Major General in the Xia Nation army. He’s the captain of the special forces. Last year, his team helped us settle two riots. During the South Gate plaza incident, he managed to sneak into the riot to rescue over a hundred civilians. I believe you were one of the rescuees,” Officer Fang said.
Realizing this, Mrs. Zhou was shocked. She blurted out, “Major General Mu Xichen?”
…
Mu Xichen and Mrs. Zhou then went out for half an hour. When she came back, Mrs. Zhou agreed not to pursue the matter legally.
However, she wanted to be compensated financially. Li Beinian then proposed to pay for the medical bills and psychological injuries.
“Please, I don’t think you can afford it. Major General Mu has paid me a million bucks already. You can pay him instead.” Mrs. Zhou scoffed.
With a look of condemnation, she picked up her bag to leave. At the same time, Mu Xichen walked in.
Mrs. Zhou softened her tone when she saw Mu Xichen and said, “I won’t pursue the matter any further because of you, Major General Mu. However, you guys better pray that my son will recover without any hiccups. If not, I will never forgive Chi Hailang.”
“Your son is blessed by the heavens. I’m sure he will be fine. There won’t be a next time. I swear.” Li Beininan quickly reassured her.
Chi Hailang held his head down in silence during the entire period.
“Hmph!” Mrs. Zhou walked off.
“Let’s go.” Mu Xichen looked at Chi Hailang’s beaten up face. “Let’s get you to the hospital.”
Upon hearing this, Chi Hailang could no longer contain his emotions. He held onto Mu Xichen’s arms and cried gratefully. “Brother Big Lock, from now on, you’re my sworn brother!”
