The Scum Shou's Survival Guide

Chapter 159

In the pitch-black night, the flashing lights illuminated the chaos behind, resembling a tidal wave of noise. Amidst the disorder, Li Mu Xun appeared before Ye Ming, as if descending from the heavens, his expression serious and cold.

In short, there's no time for explanations—get in the car!

Ye Ming hesitated for less than a second, abruptly opening the car door and pulling Yang Qian inside. Simultaneously, the black sedan shot out like an arrow, leaving the pursuing journalists far behind.

Seeing the diminishing crowd behind, Ye Ming closed the window, restoring tranquility. He breathed deeply, feeling the strain in his calves.

Then—finally realizing the precarious situation—he muttered to himself, "Not only is it not good, it's life-threatening! Why did Li Mu Xun and Yang Qian have to meet in this situation?"

Ye Ming's lips trembled, face turning pale. Glancing at Li Mu Xun driving attentively and Yang Qian silently beside him, he sat cautiously, avoiding eye contact as if facing two stern examiners.

Li Mu Xun shook off the pursuers, gradually slowing down the car. It smoothly entered an upscale villa area and finally came to a stop.

Ye Ming, after contemplating for a while, knew escape was no longer an option. A true warrior must face life's challenges courageously! He expressed gratitude and surprise, "Thank you so much today! Li Ge, how did you happen to be around here?"

Li Mu Xun glanced at Ye Ming, lightly smiling, "Came here for business, just a coincidence."

Of course, it wasn't a coincidence. Li Mu Xun had been monitoring Ye Ming's information, hacked into public surveillance, and tracked his movements. He arrived just in time due to these preparations, but revealing these details was unnecessary.

Gliding past Yang Qian's gaze with a hint of caution, Li Mu Xun knew someone new occupied his body. Yet, he couldn't discern who this person was.

With a meaningful glance at Ye Ming, Li Mu Xun suggested, "Stay at my place tonight to avoid running into those people again."

Ye Ming hesitated, considering that leaving might not be so unfortunate. Agreeing might not be appropriate, especially since he had told Yang Qian yesterday that he and Li Mu Xun weren't close. He couldn't stay!

Before Ye Ming could respond, Yang Qian promptly agreed, "Sure."

Ye Ming: ...

This is getting more complicated!

A worried Ye Ming followed Li Mu Xun and Yang Qian into the villa. Seeing them disappear, he reluctantly followed suit.

Yang Qian squinted, his gaze coldly sweeping over Li Mu Xun. Although it was their first meeting, Yang Qian had heard Li Mu Xun's name mentioned in every news related to Ye Ming. Li Mu Xun's ubiquitous presence exceeded that of Yang Qian, creating a displeasing sensation.

Moreover, Yang Qian didn't believe in coincidences. Their arrival here, coincidentally discovered by someone, seemed too staged. Li Mu Xun's risky defense of Ye Ming earlier also left a bitter taste. Yang Qian was sure there was a motive behind Li Mu Xun's actions.

Keeping his lips tight, Yang Qian politely thanked, "Thank you for helping Ye Ming earlier. He said you're a highly respected senior. It seems your reputation precedes you. I've been wanting to thank you in person."

The words sounded courteous, but it was a declaration of authority, not giving an inch.

Li Mu Xun was labeled as a senior, but he didn't mind. It wasn't entirely wrong to call him that in this context.
