Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Escape! (1) He struggled several times but couldn’t manage to say a complete sentence. Ou Mucen saw this and suddenly felt much better. As he walked over, he saw this person looking rather disheveled, and for once, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips: “I heard you were detained these past few days, how was it? Did you have a good time in the detention center?” Lin Yebai heard this, and his eyes immediately narrowed! He’s suddenly using such a familiar tone to speak to him, are they close or something? And he has the nerve to ask him that? That woman is his wife, not his. He’s ended up , but just look at him now! Dressed impeccably, clean and tidy, as if nothing ever happened, he looks cheerful and there’s no hint of sorrow, is there? Lin Yebai was furious: “How I was in detention is none of your business! But you, looking so pleased with yourself, what have you been up to? Always claiming you love her, where were you when she was in trouble?” Ou Mucen sneered: “I was naturally doing what I needed to do. Do you think I’m like you, doing brainless stupid things?” “Alright, alright, sir, let’s leave first, you just got out, better to go back and rest for a bit.” Seeing the two were about to start a fight, Xiaojin hurriedly pulled his master away towards the door. Ou Mucen saw this and just let out a disdainful snort, then headed forward… What’s there to get angry about? What he did was foolish to begin with. Imagine being someone of importance here, and when things went wrong, he couldn’t rescue anyone but instead got himself caught up. If that’s not foolish, what is? Ou Mucen genuinely despised such people from the bottom of his heart. However, he should be thankful that all Mucen felt towards him now was disdain. If it were something else, like anger or even murderous intent, his days wouldn’t be so easy. Indeed, Lin Yebai, since being taken into the fire station, had been cleared of any suspicion of involvement in this matter. Because if he truly were involved, he wouldn’t have been able to rush into those ruins in such a situation, and therefore, wouldn’t have been responsible for the death of those six firefighters. Ou Mucen continued on his way until he reached the Phoenix Blue Ink shop… Upon his arrival at the shop, the attendants immediately came over to greet him one by one, their respect evident in their voices, just as it was when Ye Ning was there. This was an instinctual surrender. This man’s identity was inherently opposed to theirs, but ever since that engagement of his, when the young lady was so devastated that she nearly didn’t make it, they realized the young lady couldn’t leave him, and they became less hostile towards him.

Ou Mucen accepted their respect candidly, nodding, and after casually strolling around the shop, he stopped in front of an attendant he recognized: “How’s business these days?” The attendant immediately took out the account book for the past few days: “Not great, really. Phoenix Blue Ink primarily deals in appraisal business, but now the young lady isn’t here…” He didn’t continue, but everyone understood what he meant. The shop wasn’t mainly in the jade business; now, with the appraisal leader gone, how could business fare well?
