Chapter 315: Old Wounds Reopened When Enemies Met Again
Wen Ya held Mu Chenyan’s hands as she spoke. Her words were undeniably sincere.
“Don’t act rashly. Your mother is still in the hospital. Make sure that you have an edge over the Yuan Family in case they decide to treat you cruelly in the future! Do you understand?”
Mu Chenyan knew that Wen Ya wanted the best for her. However, she was still a prideful woman. How could she accept anything from the Yuan Family if that day ever come?
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find a way to take care of myself if I leave!”
This thought had crossed Mu Chenyan’s mind before. Nonetheless, she knew that she could support herself by working as a freelance reporter. Her ability to speak French fluently would also be an added advantage.
Mu Chenyan pitied Yuan Xuan now. This man’s backyard had never been peaceful…

Liu Li Villa…
It was already the beginning of autumn. Fruity fragrances wafted around the old manor. It was a beautiful sight.
If Shen Muqiu’s men were not stationed here, Yuan Xuan would have brought his “little glutton” along from home so that they could stay here for a few days.
However, Yuan Xuan had brought someone else with him this time.
This was the first time that Shao Yibai crossed paths with Shen Muqiu at Liu Li Villa since the latter returned from abroad.
The scene became chaotic when the three men were together.
There was clearly an unwanted third party here.
Shen Muqiu had fled with his remaining family members after the Shen Family was defeated. They wandered about the borders of the underworld.
Within a few years, the successor of the Shen Clan managed to broaden his influence. He emerged swiftly as a new and influential figure among the underground forces in the Southeast Region. This troubled the opposing side.
Shao Yibai had previously led his troops to ambush Shen Muqiu’s subordinates in the Southeast Region. This happened when Shao Yibai was serving in the special forces.
Shen Muqiu suffered terrible losses that time. He also failed to retrieve the remains of his fallen comrades from Shao Yibai.
This happened before Shen Muqiu transferred his forces. It was one of his few local operations. After that, Europe became his main battleground once he shifted his activities there.
Old wounds reopened when enemies met again. These two men would have probably attacked each other at first glance if Yuan Xuan was not here.
“Mr Shao, I hope that you’ve been well since our last meeting!”
When Shen Muqiu thought of his fallen comrades, the scar on his face that was formed by a knife wound became more obvious. The attractive man had a bloodthirsty aura about him. He glared at Shao Yibai and clenched both of his fists!
Shao Yibai’s expression sank when he noticed Shen Muqiu’s raging and murderous intent. “Mr. Shen, I’ve been quite well. Thank you for your blessings.”
“Then Mr. Shao, do you still remember my brothers who had died by your bullets?”
Shen Muqiu’s eyes were bloodshot. These two men were almost the same height. Electricity surged between them when their gazes met.
“I was merely serving the nation by completing my mission. I’ve retired now. You already know who you should be looking for if you’re seeking revenge!”
Shao Yibai appeared rather listless when he spoke. His demeanor angered Shen Muqiu. The man lifted Shao Yibai by his collar. He roared, “There’s a perpetrator behind every injustice. I should take my revenge on you now while you’re right in front of me!”
Shao Yibai responded by behaving like the spoiled arrogant Young Master of Capital City. “Shen Muqiu, do you think I’m afraid of you? Why are you staring at me with those cowbell-sized eyes? Are you going to get your revenge? Come on, show me what you’ve got!”
He effortlessly grabbed Shen Muqiu’s wrist and pulled him toward himself. He wanted to flip Shen Muqiu over while only using a small amount of force.
Shen Muqiu was quick to respond as well. He had already used his legs to steady himself before Shao Yibai could restrict his movements…
The two men began to throw punches at one another. A serious brawl had broken out between them within three minutes of their encounter…
Ming Yang and Tian Qi were both worried that their bosses would be defeated. They were itching to have a go at it as well. They eyed each other before these two men decided that they should also fight!
A scuffle broke out between Ming Yang and Tian Qi too…
Yuan Xuan was thirsty just now, but the Bi Luo Chun green tea that Sister Liu brewed was still steaming. A satisfied look appeared on the man’s face while he sipped his tea. He sat at the tea table on the veranda and looked at the other four people fighting!
“Not bad. Shen Muqiu, pay attention to your left…
“Shao Yibai, aim downward when you’re hitting him…
“Ming Yang, don’t even think about using those dirty tricks! Tian Qi is an honest opponent.
“Tian Qi, you’re not supposed to hit your opponent’s face during a fight. What have I taught you…”
Third Young Master Yuan was being unhelpful and extremely judgemental!
Wounds quickly appeared on the faces of all four men.
Shao Yibai had an advantage when it came to fistfighting because he had experienced numerous battles. His physique was also clearly superior. Meanwhile, Shen Muqiu looked more savage now. There were more wounds on his face in addition to the original scar on the left side.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed, “F*ck. Why did you bring him here, Yuan Xuan? How dare you drink my tea without helping me? Can’t you see how badly I’ve been beaten?”
Frankly, Shao Yibai was not in much better shape. His windbreaker now resembled a pile of torn rags on his body while his chin was slightly swollen. The faintest touch would result in throbbing pain.
He straightened his body and drew his lips back before rubbing his chin. His temper flared up when he narrowed his eyes and saw the carefree look on Yuan Xuan’s face. “Damn, I can’t believe that I was beaten up right away when I followed you here. I didn’t even get anything to eat or drink. Why do you look so f*cking happy?”
“Young Master, that was really mean…”
This was almost too much for the honest and simple-minded Tian Qi to handle. He wiped the traces of blood off the corners of his mouth. This blockhead who was used to listening to orders did not dare to look Yuan Xuan in the eye. Nonetheless, he had voiced his thoughts.
Aside from Ming Yang, the men who fought earlier had their attention on Yuan Xuan now. They had finally found a common goal.
Yuan Xuan lifted his teacup and narrowed his eyes. He sipped his tea. “You’re all finally united! I thought that you’d only let this matter rest once you’d fought each other to death.”
“Yuan Xuan, I respect you. Otherwise, I would’ve beaten him to a pulp today…”
Shen Muqiu sighed. He furiously spat those words out before he returned to the villa to change his clothes.
“Hmph, as if!”
Shao Yibai was unconvinced.
He sat right next to Yuan Xuan when he saw that Shen Muqiu had left. He snatched the teapot from Yuan Xuan and poured a cup of tea for Tian Qi and himself. He was terribly thirsty after the fight. Mr. Shao was not the slightest bit concerned about elegance and merely gulped down the tea.
Shen Muqiu came out of the villa in a short while once he had changed his clothes. He was dressed in sporty gray-colored casual wear while band-aids were stuck all over his forehead. Nonetheless, he still looked attractive.
On the contrary, Shao Yibai looked terrible. This made Shen Muqiu feel slightly better.
“Why did you bring him here?”
Shen Muqiu could not understand why Yuan Xuan brought Shao Yibai to Liu Li Villa without even telling him.
Shao Yibai snorted, “You make it seem like I wanted to come. If I knew that you treated your guests like this, I would’ve stayed far away even if you invited me!”
Yuan Xuan’s dark eyes were completely emotionless. He glared at the two men who were a combined age of fifty as they argued back and forth.
“I invited both of you here for a meeting!” Yuan Xuan said indifferently.
“Hmph!”
“Hmph!”
Both men indicated their disdain for each other at the same time.
Yuan Xuan ignored them. He pressed his palms together and placed them in front of his forehead. He continued, “Mu Feng might still be alive!”
Shen Muqiu and Shao Yibai were not surprised by this.
Shen Muqiu’s men have had conflicts with Mu Chenwu already. They realized that an army veteran must have helped this loafer plan his military tactics in the mountainous regions. Shen Muqiu immediately suspected that someone else was there with Mu Chenwu. This person was definitely a master of mountain and jungle warfare.
Mu Feng, who had fought with him in the past, was the one who thought of all the military tactics.
