CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 188: PROTECTION

The situation happened too suddenly, and both she and Yueyue were injured, feeling disheartened and hadn’t given it much thought!

Thinking back now, on the road just now, the target of that Buick seemed to indeed be her! If Yueyue hadn’t pulled her, she might not be sitting here now!

"Why did they want to kill me?" Ye Anxin frowned, unable to figure it out.

She couldn’t understand what kind of grudge would lead someone to try and kill her with a car?

Ling Yueyue said indignantly, "Luckily, I remembered the license plate. Let your uncle investigate thoroughly; we absolutely cannot let this slide!"

Ye Anxin didn’t respond, still wracking her brain thinking.

Just then, a tall figure was striding towards them.

Ye Anxin had her back to the door, lost in her thoughts, so she hadn’t noticed anyone approaching her!

Ling Yueyue, sitting opposite her, saw Mu Beiting coming towards them at a glance.

Ling Yueyue raised her chin, seemingly to remind her, "Anxin, your uncle is here!"

"Ah!" Ye Anxin was startled, turning her head to see Mu Beiting’s tall figure already standing behind her.

Ye Anxin asked in a daze, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Mu Beiting pursed his lips in silence, coming to her side, squatting down, looking at her leg placed on the neighboring chair with rolled-up pant legs, his eyes narrowed, and he directly picked her up by the waist, striding outwards.

Ye Anxin was startled, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck, "Uncle, what are you doing!"

"To the hospital!" Mu Beiting spat out the three words rigidly.

Ye Anxin laughed and said, "It’s okay, the doctor already checked, it’s just a scratch, it’ll heal in a few days! No need to especially go to the hospital!"

Mu Beiting didn’t respond, carrying her straight to the business car parked at the entrance of Huo Tian Group.

"Uncle, this is a pedestrian walkway, driving is forbidden here. How come you parked the car here?" Seeing Mu Beiting’s exclusive business car so boldly parked at the entrance of Huo Tian Group, Ye Anxin was so shocked her jaw almost dropped.

Mu Beiting tightly pressed his thin lips, not answering.

Instead of Mu Beiting answering her, the driver sitting in the driver’s seat chuckled and replied, "The president was worried about Madam just now, so he ordered me to drive the car in directly!"

"...!" Hearing this, Ye Anxin suddenly felt her nose tingle. To say she wasn’t moved would be a lie!

Just now, she thought he didn’t care enough about her, yet, unexpectedly, he had rushed over immediately!

From Mu Group to Huo Tian Group, it takes a whole hour! But her uncle managed to arrive in such a short time!

Their car must have been flying on the road just now!

"Drive, to the hospital!" Following Mu Beiting’s order, the business car slowly headed towards the best private hospital in Jin City.

In the car, Mu Beiting’s deep eyes were firmly locked on Ye Anxin’s little face, his hand gently sweeping away her hair, his index finger unintentionally sliding across her lips, causing her to shiver.

Ye Anxin, moistening her dry lips, spoke hoarsely, "Uncle, the target of that Buick car was me! It wanted to kill me!"

Hearing this, Mu Beiting’s eyes darkened, a chilling light flashing in his eyes.

Ye Anxin continued, "If Yueyue hadn’t saved me, I might not be sitting here now!"

Mu Beiting’s thin lips pressed tighter, something seemingly repressed in his eyes.

Ye Anxin leaned against Mu Beiting’s arm, puzzled, saying, "Uncle, I really don’t understand, I haven’t offended anyone, who could be so heartless as to want me dead?"

After a moment of silence, Mu Beiting coldly spoke, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll have someone protect you at all times!"

Ye Anxin asked doubtfully, "Are you going to hire some bodyguards to protect me?"

Mu Beiting nodded, responding succinctly, "Yes! They are professionally trained!"

"Outside is fine, but if these bodyguards suddenly show up at school, my classmates will gossip!" Ye Anxin pouted, already imagining it.

A few bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses, hands behind their backs, standing stoically behind her!

Just thinking about that scene feels weird!

Without thinking, Mu Beiting said directly, "Tomorrow, I’ll arrange for a leave of absence for you!"

"Ah...!" Ye Anxin never imagined he would ask her to take a leave of absence.

Mu Beiting explained, "You can return to school once I catch the person responsible!"

"But...!" Ye Anxin hesitated, internally conflicted.

Mu Beiting didn’t give her time to think, domineeringly, "Today’s incident must never happen again!"

Ye Anxin bit her lower lip, bowed her head, thought carefully, and reluctantly nodded.

Her uncle was right, today’s event cannot happen again!

If it hadn’t been for Yueyue just now, she might not have survived to stand here! She escaped once, and may not have such luck again!

Besides, she’s pregnant now; she can’t take risks! She can’t drag Yueyue into this either!

So, the only solution for now is to take a leave of absence! Once Mu Beiting catches the person behind this, she can return to school.

With this in mind, Ye Anxin stopped worrying, feeling considerably less anxious.

When the car reached its destination, the driver took Mu Beiting and Ye Anxin to the entrance of the private hospital. After Mu Beiting got off the car with Ye Anxin in his arms, the driver went to park the car.

While on the car, Mu Beiting had Pete contact the doctor, so when Mu Beiting appeared holding Ye Anxin, the doctor had already made room for them in a dedicated consultation office.

Mu Beiting gently placed Ye Anxin on the chair, and the doctor immediately crouched down to carefully examine her.

After the examination, the conclusion was the same as before, just a scratch, no major issues with the shin, she should avoid water for a few days and rest properly!

Hearing the doctor’s conclusion, instead of relaxing, Mu Beiting’s brow furrowed even tighter.

Seeing Mu Beiting’s expression wasn’t right, the doctor paused, tentatively suggesting, "If Mr. Mu isn’t reassured, I could prescribe some medication to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to help the wound heal!"

Mu Beiting’s thin lips parted slightly, decisively rejecting, "No, she’s pregnant!"

"This...!" The doctor was taken aback, somewhat speechless towards Mu Beiting.

He just said there was no issue, Mu Beiting was upset, then he suggested medication, Mu Beiting mentioned pregnancy!

So, what exactly does this Mr. Mu want?

He couldn’t win either way, could he?

Noticing the doctor’s predicament, Ye Anxin quickly smiled and said, "Doctor, don’t mind it. Uncle is upset because I’m injured, it’s not your fault! I understand my current situation, you can go ahead with your work! We’ll be leaving soon too!"

Without Mu Beiting’s command, the doctor dared not leave casually. So, even though Ye Anxin spoke, he still stood there motionless, awaiting orders and instructions!
