"Whether I’m qualified or not isn’t for you to decide, Captain Mu. This is your good wife, so you better open your eyes and see clearly. Aren’t you going to reprimand me? Perfect timing, I also want to talk properly with the leadership."

At this moment, Jia Chenggang seemed to have the upper hand and started walking toward the administration building first.

Mu Xingfeng reached out to hug his little wife again. He knew Jia Chenggang’s last words had angered her so much that she acted directly. Being protected by his little wife made him feel incredibly moved.

"Alright, don’t be upset. Go home and wait for me. I’ll handle the rest."

An Ran nodded and went home alone.

Watching An Ran’s slender, lonely figure, Liu Hu felt very uneasy.

"Captain, you should punish me. I’m the one who implicated sister-in-law."

"The root of this matter doesn’t lie with Jia Chenggang, nor with you. Let’s go and take a look first."

Although Jia Chenggang had many grievances against An Ran, his appearance at this moment was purely coincidental.

"Not with me? Captain, are you saying someone deliberately spread rumors about sister-in-law and me?"

Following behind Mu Xingfeng, Liu Hu suddenly realized, "Damn, who the hell is it? Do I have a grudge against them or something? How dare they say such things? If they have a grudge against me, come at me directly. Why involve sister-in-law?"

Liu Hu was truly infuriated. Hearing such words already made him angry, let alone An Ran. After all, a woman’s reputation is most important.

"Captain, we can’t let this go. We have to investigate thoroughly and find out who started these rumors. I swear I’ll finish them if I find out."

"We’re definitely going to investigate. When we get to the officer, I’ve got this. You don’t need to stand out."

"Got it, Captain."

Having been with Mu Xingfeng for so long, Liu Hu understood Mu Xingfeng’s way of dealing with things. Since he said that, he’s clearly protecting him. In the team, fighting and causing trouble would lead to punishment, and Mu Xingfeng was going to help him avoid it.

Ever since he became Mu Xingfeng’s subordinate, Mu Xingfeng had always treated him like one of his own, and his little sister-in-law had treated him like family too. Otherwise, people wouldn’t have picked on them. Looking at Mu Xingfeng’s back, Liu Hu’s resolve grew even stronger. Wherever his captain went, he’d follow, even if it meant being a bodyguard for life, he’d take good care of his captain.

When An Ran reached the family building, she saw Huang Xiaoyu standing at the entrance to her building from afar.

Seeing An Ran, Huang Xiaoyu approached to console her, "The women here generally don’t have high levels of education, and they have nothing better to do, so they love to gossip and spread rumors. Miss An, you don’t need to take their idle chatter to heart. In a few days, they’ll find another topic."

An Ran smiled faintly, "Thank you, Miss Huang. If there’s nothing else, I need to go home and make lunch."

She hadn’t forgotten Huang Xiaoyu’s intentions toward Mu Xingfeng, even though she hadn’t known Mu Xingfeng had already registered their marriage. She didn’t plan to get too close to such a woman.

Huang Xiaoyu didn’t mind and waved, "I’ll head back too. Miss An, if you have time, you can come visit me. I live in Building 3."

Returning home, An Ran switched on the air conditioning and threw herself on the sofa, still feeling extremely frustrated.

If she’d known this would happen, she would have stayed at the villa. She always thought this place was a pure land, but who would have thought people’s hearts are still unpredictable.
