CHAPTER 40: CHAPTER 40: THE PETTIEST MAN

Mu Beiting turned his head and quietly looked at Ye Anxin for quite a while before his thin lips parted, and he coldly said, "Drive!"

The driver nodded, then started the car.

"Uncle, um, that... that...?" Ye Anxin actually wanted to say to Mu Beiting that her parents were upstairs. Since he’s already here, should he go up and sit for a while? After all, he’s their son-in-law and they will need to meet eventually.

However, she simply couldn’t imagine the scene where Mu Beiting, who only mingles with the noble, sits in such a small rented apartment! No matter how she thought about it, it seemed out of place.

Mu Beiting looked straight ahead, impatiently said, "Say what you want to say!"

"Um... forget it, it’s nothing!" Ye Anxin carefully thought it over and ultimately abandoned the fleeting idea she just had.

Before taking Mu Beiting to meet her parents, she should give them some mental preparation; otherwise... she’s afraid they won’t be able to cope.

Besides, she feels that Mu Beiting might not be able to accept her parents who live at the very bottom.

As soon as Ye Anxin spoke, the temperature inside the car instantly dropped several degrees! Ye Anxin clearly felt that the man beside her seemed to be coated with a layer of frost, instantly reverting back to that distant demeanor he had when they first met.

Ye Anxin looked at him, wondering if she made him unhappy again? But... she had no idea why? This man always gets angry suddenly without saying why he’s upset? Truly the most petty man she has ever seen.

Just as Mu Beiting was angry and Ye Anxin puzzled, a burst of gunshots suddenly rang out from outside. Then, the business car they were sitting in immediately lost stability and began to skid on the smooth surface, spinning in a parabolic fashion before finally crashing into a large tree on the roadside.

"Ah...!" Ye Anxin sat inside the car, during the moment of losing control, her whole body leaned forward uncontrollably! Mu Beiting quickly grabbed the door handle with one hand and pulled Ye Anxin’s thrown body back into his arms with the other.

Ye Anxin hadn’t even had time to steady her mind when she heard the driver in front saying, "President, there are assassins! Our car tires were just shot out by them!"

"Assassins?" Ye Anxin gasped in shock, her body trembling slightly within Mu Beiting’s arms.

"Don’t be afraid!" Mu Beiting, sensing her change, gently patted her back. Although his voice remained as cold as ever, it miraculously eased Ye Anxin’s inner fear.

Ye Anxin raised her head, with concern asked, "Uncle, are these people trying to kill you? Don’t they have any respect for law, daring to use guns against you so blatantly in broad daylight?"

Mu Beiting coldly snorted, a trace of disdain flickering deep in his eyes.

At this time, the assassins outside had apparently lost patience, surrounding their car and slowly approaching, shooting frantically with their guns.

"Bang bang bang...!" The sound of gunfire rang out one after another. Before long, Mu Beiting’s business car had turned into a beehive.

"Stay in the car, do not come down under any circumstances!" Mu Beiting coldly said, letting go of Ye Anxin, pressing her shoulder to make her crouch in front of the rear seat. Before Ye Anxin could react, he opened the car door and swiftly jumped out.

Ye Anxin was shocked, wanting to grab him but it was already too late! Mu Beiting had already jumped out and closed the door.

Meanwhile, the driver also followed Mu Beiting and jumped out of the car.
