CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 1046: EVERY WORD IS TRUE

Hu Jingtang slowly calmed down, "So what do you plan to do now?" He looked at Xiao Yifei, frowning.

Xiao Yifei thought for a moment, then said, "If Muyun doesn’t wake up, I have no way." Xiao Yifei’s tone was somewhat helpless, but it was completely truthful.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jingtang nodded. Indeed, in this situation, if Muyun could wake up, Xiao Yifei’s suspicions would naturally be cleared. Conversely, people’s suspicions about Xiao Wushuang would be even more dubious.

Xiao Yifei understood clearly in his heart that as long as Muyun could wake up, he would be able to rid himself of the accusations Xiao Wushuang had placed on him. However, Xiao Yifei currently had no way to wake Muyun up.

After what happened yesterday, Xiao Wushuang would certainly not let him get close to Muyun easily. Thinking of this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful. If he hadn’t turned and left yesterday, but insisted on staying and treating Muyun with acupuncture, perhaps things wouldn’t be so troublesome now.

At this moment, Hua Lao saw Xiao Yifei and Hu Jingtang in the courtyard and quickly approached, wanting to know what Xiao Yifei and Hu Jingtang were talking about.

Seeing Hua Lao, Xiao Yifei explained the situation to him in detail. After listening to Xiao Yifei, Hua Lao’s reaction was almost identical to Hu Jingtang’s. However, Hua Lao seemed more impulsive, and he said to Xiao Yifei that he wanted to go to Muyun’s residence to clear things up.

Of course, Xiao Yifei stopped him. Not to mention whether Hua Lao’s intervention would be useful, in Muyun’s residence, apart from Xiao Wushuang, who else would listen? And Muyun himself was also lying in bed unconscious.

"So do we just let them babble nonsense?" Hua Kan looked at Xiao Yifei and asked angrily. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei shook his head. At this time, Hua Lao’s butler suddenly ran over, and they heard him slowly say to Hua Lao, "Master, the City Lord is back."

Hearing this news, Hua Lao furrowed his brow. Muyun is the first young master of Beijing, and the City Lord is naturally Muyun’s father. He hurried back overnight, fearing he had also heard the news of Muyun’s coma.

Nearby, Xiao Yifei wasn’t a fool. Upon hearing the butler mention the City Lord, he naturally knew that this person was Muyun’s father. This news for Xiao Yifei was definitely not good news because as long as Xiao Wushuang spoke to the City Lord, the situation would completely tilt in Xiao Wushuang’s favor.

Xiao Yifei thought about it and couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless. In this situation, how could he prove his innocence? Looking at Xiao Yifei’s expression, Hua Lao patted Xiao Yifei’s shoulder, "Take it slowly, don’t rush." That’s all Hua Lao could say now.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yifei nodded and didn’t say much more.

At Muyun’s residence, a middle-aged man draped in a cloak slowly walked from outside the villa into the villa. Seeing him gave a sense of authority and high status because even his walking aura was unlike ordinary people.

Indeed, this person was Muyun’s father, also the City Lord of Beijing, named Mu Feng. He rushed back overnight solely because he heard about his son Muyun’s coma. Despite Muyun’s chronic illness, he was dearly loved by Mu Feng, who was fiercely protective, and Muyun happened to be the youngest in the family.

Mu Feng was originally in Fengjiang, and his sudden return still caused quite a stir. After entering the villa, Mu Feng quickly made his way to Muyun’s bedroom.

When he saw Muyun lying half-dead on the bed, even at his age, Mu Feng couldn’t help but feel a wave of tears. After a while, Mu Feng’s emotions shifted from sorrow to anger, and he clenched his fists hard, his sword-like brows furrowed fearfully.

"Who? Who hurt my son?" Mu Feng shouted angrily. At this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the door, and upon closer inspection, it was none other than Xiao Wushuang, who had falsely accused Xiao Yifei.

Seeing someone enter, Mu Feng’s face darkened, "Who are you?" he asked. Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang feigned a look of fear and said, "My respects to the City Lord, I’m just a small doctor who treated Young Master Muyun."

Hearing that Xiao Wushuang was a doctor, Mu Feng’s anger surged, "You’re a doctor? Then tell me, how did my son become like this? Was it your doing?" Mu Feng vented his anger at Xiao Wushuang.

Hearing this, Xiao Wushuang hurriedly replied, "No, no, it wasn’t me, there are other reasons." Xiao Wushuang deliberately emphasized the "other reasons."

Sure enough, hearing Xiao Wushuang’s words piqued Mu Feng’s interest, and he asked Xiao Wushuang what was going on. Xiao Wushuang explained the situation to Mu Feng as planned, focusing on emphasizing the incompetence of Xiao Yifei’s medical skills while coveting wealth and power.

After hearing what Xiao Wushuang said, Mu Feng was naturally very angry, and knowing who the "culprit" was, he immediately ordered Xiao Yifei to meet him. Seeing Mu Feng this furious, Xiao Wushuang knew he had achieved his goal.

That afternoon, Xiao Yifei suddenly received a message inviting him to a meeting with the City Lord, conveyed personally by the City Lord’s subordinates who came to find him.

Hearing the City Lord looking for him, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help but smile wryly. He had to go whether he wanted to or not. At this moment, Hua Lao found Xiao Yifei and even called on Deng Lao, one opened Yuan fruit, the other opened Jiang Jun, these two together would make even King Yan relent three points.

"What’s going on?" Xiao Yifei looked at the two of them and couldn’t help but ask with a smile. Hearing this, Hua Lao smiled and said, "Backing you up!" The tone was quite reminiscent of a mob leader’s stance. Hearing this, Deng Lao started chiding Hua Lao for being improper.

Seeing the two of them, Xiao Yifei laughed heartily, then glanced at the car, "Then let’s go." With that, Xiao Yifei and the two elders got into the car.

Arriving at Muyun’s villa, Xiao Yifei and the two elders were ushered into the living room. On the sofa in the living room sat a middle-aged man with a slightly older appearance, resembling Muyun somewhat. Based on Xiao Yifei’s guess, this person was likely Muyun’s father, the City Lord.

Sure enough, Hua Lao called out to him, "City Lord Mu, long time no see, you’ve grown!" Hearing this, Xiao Yifei couldn’t help feeling exasperated. What is this, after all, the person is the City Lord, but Hua Lao bluntly spoke as if he were a child.

Nearby, Deng Lao subtly nudged Hua Lao, seemingly finding Hua Lao’s words inappropriate. However, Hua Lao didn’t care; when Mu Feng was young, Hua Lao had met him, but Hua Madame had never been fond of Mu Feng’s personality, so she never welcomed Mu Feng warmly. This meeting, Hua Lao was deliberately trying to provoke Mu Feng.

Indeed, hearing Hua Lao’s words, Mu Feng’s face instantly darkened, and he said in a deep voice, "I called a junior here, what is Hua Lao doing here?"

Hua Lao laughed loudly, somewhat disdainfully saying, "Just for the fun."

Hearing this, Mu Feng’s face turned almost green, but he couldn’t say much. After all, he was an opening fruit general and older than him. Mu Feng looked at Deng Lao next to Hua Lao and felt things might not go as planned, it seemed today he couldn’t do anything to Xiao Yifei.
