Mad Dragon gets out of prison and marries a beautiful CEO.

Chapter 9 Saying One Thing and Meaning Another

Although Mu Ningshuang said no, her body language betrayed her. As Chen Li prepared to get up, she hugged his neck and wouldn't let him leave.

It's obvious she's extending an invitation.

He then understood what was said online: when a girl says she wants something, she means it; when she says she doesn't, she means it.

An hour later…

Mu Ningshuang curled up like a cat in Chen Li's arms, her fingers drawing circles on his muscular chest, her pretty face flushed and delicate, a satisfied happiness flowing from the corners of her mouth.

She said lazily:

"As promised, the 300,000 will be deposited into your account shortly. There are several cars in the garage; take whichever one you like."

Chen Li stroked her smooth, jade-like shoulder and replied:

"Such a straightforward and generous attitude must mean there's something else going on."

Mu Ningshuang chuckled softly:

"You are very smart, and your performance has amazed me. I underestimated you before, and I apologize."

She then changed the subject:

"I overheard part of your conversation with my grandfather. You said he was poisoned?"

Chen Li nodded.

"Can you help me find out who's behind this? Name your price."

Mu Ningshuang tilted her chin up, looking at him and waiting for his answer.

"No!"

Chen Li decisively shook his head and refused:

"I don't get involved in the feuds of wealthy families, not because I'm afraid, but because I have my own things to do and don't want to create trouble for myself."

He needs to find a woman with a pure Yin constitution to cultivate with and recover from his injuries, break through to the Grandmaster realm, and go to the Ye family in Shanghai before the Laba Festival to obtain a hero's invitation and embark on a great opportunity.

If she had a pure Yin constitution, it would be worth the risk of wasting some time, but unfortunately she doesn't.

"You really are a heartless person when it comes to plucking birds."

Mu Ningshuang understood that this was a deal, and it was agreed beforehand that neither party could cross the line, but she was still somewhat disappointed.

Her phone rang, and after answering it for a while, she got out of bed, barefoot, and walked with long, elegant steps to the bathroom to shower.

"I have some things to take care of at the company. You can rest here."

"I'll give you time to think it over. Come find me anytime you've made up your mind."

"But don't worry, although your looks are to my liking, you are not my Prince Charming yet. I won't listen to my grandfather and insist on taking you as my son-in-law."

As she spoke, she entered the bathroom, and the sound of her voice left Chen Li completely bewildered.

After in-depth communication, it turns out that he's not her Prince Charming in terms of looks, right?

Are girls these days so open-minded?

Whoever becomes her Prince Charming is incredibly lucky, as she'll have a whole green meadow of her own making.

She took a shower, dried her hair, got dressed, and limped downstairs.

It seems even more swollen.

Chen Li sat cross-legged on the bed, sensing the energy within his body.

After cultivating with her, the stagnant qi and blood in my body melted like ice breaking. At this rate, the internal injuries wouldn't heal, nor would they worsen.

It would be even better if there were medicinal herbs to help.

My phone rang; it was Mu Ningshuang calling. I answered it without thinking.

Chen Li asked:

"What is it?"

Mu Ningshuang replied:

"Dr. Zhao called to say that he has found all the medicine for your treatment and is sending someone to deliver it to you."

"It's not easy to gather all the ingredients needed for alchemy, but he's trying to find a way."

"The medicine delivery person should be here soon. Go downstairs and check."

"I'm driving, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Li put on his clothes and went downstairs when he saw a bodyguard-like man carrying a medicine bag walk in.

Chen Li took the medicine packet, sat on the living room sofa, and carefully examined it, but found no problems.

The smell of brewing medicine is very strong; it seems inappropriate to brew medicine in a villa worth hundreds of millions.

Besides, it's better to brew the medicine at home than to buy a clay pot from the market.

He carried the medicine bag to the garage, where the cars were neatly parked.

Ferrari sports cars, Lamborghinis, Raptor off-road pickup trucks, Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Audi A8, and RVs.

Chen Li is a low-key person. The roar of the engine is too disturbing to the neighbors, so he chose an Audi A8. He wanted to just step on the gas and leave the rest to the driver.

After he drove away from the Mu family's gate, his bodyguard put on his headset and reported the situation.

In another villa.

Mu Xincheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, listening to the bodyguard's report:

"Second Master, we just received news that Chen Ligang has driven away from Miss's villa."

"According to the investigation, he was released from prison five years ago for seriously injuring Zhang Sankui. As for what opportunities led to his transformation, nobody knows."

"Before coming to the Mu family, he had a conflict with Tiger's godson, Yuan Tao."

Mu Xincheng nodded and asked:

"What grudge does Yuan Tao have against him?"

The bodyguard replied:

"I learned from rumors that Yuan Tao was his underling back then. In order to seize his position, he did not hesitate to give his own woman to Chen Li and plot to send him to jail."

"They've barely left the house and they've already run into each other. Yuan Tao has suffered a great loss, and he probably won't let this go easily."

Mu Xincheng pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Then let's find a way to add fuel to the fire and make them fight even more fiercely."

"Tiger Lord is proud and protective of his son, he certainly won't let his adopted son suffer a loss, so let's use Tiger Lord's knife to deal with him."

The bodyguard bowed and said:

"Second Master is wise!"

Mu Xincheng narrowed his eyes and sneered:

"Trying to fight me? I'll make him fight to the death without him even knowing how he died. Without this hothead, I'd like to see how my niece will seize power!"

He beckoned, and the bodyguard stepped forward.

After Mu Xincheng whispered the instructions, the bodyguard replied in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, Second Master, I will make sure they fight like dogs, and the fight gets even fiercer."

After the bodyguard left, Li Lanzhi, who was sitting on the sofa and applying an ice pack to her face, said angrily:

"What kind of shady idea did you give your bodyguard? Now you've really grown up, daring to keep it from me!"

Mu Xincheng snorted coldly:

"Your idea was good. Instead of kicking Mu Ningshuang out of the group, you let her bring back a troublesome helper. I almost got kicked out of the family by my father. You are the one who is more trouble than you are worth."

"You don't need to worry about what happens from now on; I'll take care of everything."

Li Lanzhi rolled her eyes sarcastically:

"Your dead father favors the eldest son. When has he ever given you a second glance? If it weren't for the Li family backing you up, you wouldn't even be worth a dog in Yuncheng. And you still dare to act so arrogantly towards me."

"I'm just waiting to see how you get back at them. If you can't, I'll use my connections to kill them all! Only then will I feel satisfied!"

Mu Xincheng quickly stepped forward, covered his mouth, and whispered:

"You're insane!"

"How can you say such things! If outsiders hear this, the old man will kick us out of the Mu Family Group for good!"

Li Lanzhi pushed his hand away, saying with disgust:

"Look at you, so weak-willed. If you had used that same strength on me, things wouldn't have come to this."

"I don't care, that Chen guy must die! Mu Ningshuang must marry my nephew Li Yan, and he must humiliate that slut to no end!"

Mu Xincheng waved his hand:

"Alright, I'll figure something out. Just don't go around telling everyone..."

……

Chen Li returned to the residential area and parked his car downstairs.

It's rare to see expensive luxury cars in old neighborhoods, so when one suddenly appeared, passersby all turned their heads to look.

When they saw Chen Li, who had served five years in prison, get out of the car, envy, jealousy, and hatred began to surface. They were even worse off than the criminals, and they had no face to lose.

Rumors started circulating that it was stolen, robbed, or earned by a gigolo living off a woman.

Chen Li couldn't hear it, so he naturally didn't pay attention. He took the elevator upstairs and saw a drunk man grabbing his neighbor, a single mother, by the hair and dragging her out the door.

The little girl chased after him, wailing. Seeing Chen Li emerge from the elevator, she cried out in her childish voice:

"Uncle, please save my mom... Waaah... This bad man is going to take my mom away to sell her for money..."
