C738 If Not Because You like It
A sharp pain came from Ma De's arm, but at the same time, he was forced to stop his attack.
He opened his eyes again and saw Mo Nan waving his hand at a woman below the stage. Then, he looked at himself with a smile.
"Ten minutes are up. Congratulations. You can stay."
Ma De was still a little confused. He stared at Mo Nan in disbelief. He could not understand how dangerous the situation was just now. Why does this man not doubt himself?
"You reminded me. I can only blame myself for being too careless."
Mo Nan scratched his head in annoyance. Then he looked at Hee Mei who was below the stage.
"Why did you attack just now?"
Hee Mei's cold face loosened a little, but she did not want to admit it. She turned her head away and said, "I did not do it.
I had a fight with that foreign woman. She called me a slut, and I didn't dare hit her. What do you care?"
Mo Nan couldn't help but laugh. This woman's mentality had changed a little too quickly. She had wanted to kill him the day before, but now she came to report to him like a child.
"It doesn't matter."
Mo Nan shook his head. He said sincerely, I have a shortage of people around me, and Jessica is very talented. It won't do me any good if I make her angry."
It was an unexpected answer.
Hee Mei snorted and her eyes turned cold again. She whispered, "I knew it. Every man can be relied on..."
Mo Nan felt a headache coming on and ignored him. He thought that he could not let Hee Mei continue to stay in the company, so he gave her the keys to the villa first and let her go home first. At night, he would mediate between these two grandaunt.
Hee Mei took the keys and left without looking back.
Mo Nan then looked at Ma De who was standing in the same place and said with a smile, "What are you standing there for? "Since we've passed the test, let's find a place to talk."
Ma De lowered his head and thought for a while, then agreed.
The two of them did not speak the whole way until they reached the top floor of the building.
Leaning against the railing, the cool breeze hit his face. Mo Nan enjoyed this feeling very much. After all, ever since he returned to the city, he had rarely experienced such a feeling.
He lit a cigarette himself and passed a cigarette box to Ma De.
"No."
Ma De shook his hand quickly.
"Good man." Mo Nan widened his eyes in surprise. In his impression, all the men around him didn't smoke. It was mainly because they were under a lot of pressure. Plus, their heads usually hung on their waists, so he didn't really care.
Even Jessica would look for him to take two from time to time. As for Hee Mei, he didn't know for the time being.
Ma De laughed at himself. "In the past, I could not afford it in the past two years. Slowly, I quit."
Mo Nan was speechless. "Forget about the good ones. Can't you afford two and five cigarettes?"
"Uh." Ma De was embarrassed. He tried to find an excuse for himself. "I'm a big man. I don't even make enough money for Lin Jiao's expenses. I don't have the face to spend money."
"Nonsense."
Mo Nan looked at him with disdain. "If you like it, you like it. Why are you embarrassed to admit it?"
"Young people nowadays have a saying. If you don't really like it, who would be willing to be a licking dog?"
Ma De scratched his head with a silly smile. He then looked at the scenery of Modu outside the railing and began to narrate to himself.
"A few years ago, I had enough of my previous life. I left my original power. At that time, it was Old Master Lin who took me in and asked me to be his bodyguard."
"Later, I was fortunate enough to be valued by Grandfather Lin and married my daughter to me. Unfortunately, Grandfather Lin could tell that I was capable, but he did not know that my abilities could not be easily used."
The Ancient Martial Warrior was usually no longer exposed in front of ordinary people. This was a rule. Otherwise, if it was in the limelight, the trouble it would cause would not be small.
Mo Nan was an exception. The main thing was that like what Shi Yiming said, he never cared about rules. Moreover, whether he broke the rules or not was no longer important. In any case, there were only a few aristocratic families in the entire ancient martial world who liked him.
Mo Nan listened quietly. He saw Ma De touching his mouth subconsciously and handing the cigarette case over again.
Ma De hesitated for a moment, but he still took it in the end.
He continued.
"I thought I was lucky enough to live a life where I could lose my head at any time. In the end, not only did I have a wife, I could live the rest of my life in peace."
"Unfortunately, the world of ordinary people is just as cruel. No one looks down on me without money or power. Lin Jiao also suffered a lot because of me back then, so she hates me. I can understand."
"But what are the others?" A touch of anger appeared on Ma De's face.
"Just like Lin Fu, I could strangle a few of them with one hand in the past."
Mo Nan nodded. Judging from the remaining killing intent on Ma De's body, he knew that this guy was not lying. In the past, most of the things he did were similar.
However...
Mo Nan patted his shoulder and said, "You can't blame others for choosing your own path. Lin family is a big family after all. It would be strange if you could blend in as an ordinary person."
Even Lin Yunyi was not accepted. Ma De did not have two heads. He deliberately hid his strength. Who in the Lin family could tell?
"Sigh."
Ma De sighed.
"That's why I can see that there's no need for me to stay in the Lin family anymore. I was still thinking about where I should go in the future, but you came at the right time. Plus, I've heard your name a lot recently, so I wanted to give it a try."
Mo Nan hummed and waited for him to continue. Because this reason alone was not enough for Ma De to come find him.
"Mm."
Ma De felt a little awkward when his thoughts were seen through. He paused for a moment and said seriously,
"I don't care what you and Director Lin do to the other Lin family members, but I will let Lin Jiao go no matter what."
"I promised the old master that I will take good care of her for the rest of my life. Although I will not be able to do it in the future, I can at least help her one last time. Just take it as I owe her."
After he finished speaking, he sighed, his expression deep.
If it was not because he found out that the person Lin Yunyi found was Mo Nan, he really did not want to expose his identity and argue with Lin Jiao. Part of it was because he was really angry, and the other part was because of his acting skills.
Someone's bad name had spread throughout the ancient martial arts world in the past two days. The news of the Hee family's destruction had been placed at the top of a website dedicated to Ancient Martial Warrior. It was hard for him not to know.
When he thought about how the person in front of him had already destroyed an aristocratic family, Compared to the Ancient Martial Aristocratic Family , the Lin family was rich and had insufficient resources. It was likely that they would be destroyed even if they were to say so.
Ma De had no choice but to be afraid. He didn't care about the rest of the Lin family, but he had to protect Lin Jiao.
"Deal."
Mo Nan agreed readily.
After all, he would not lose out in exchange for a powerful Ancient Martial Warrior.
Moreover, he did not intend to do anything to the Lin family in the first place. As long as the Lin family did not go overboard, the most they could do was to let them suffer a little.
"Stay for a while."
After standing with Ma De for a while, Mo Nan decided to let him have some peace and quiet for a while. He then walked downstairs.
"Remember to come downstairs and look for me when the company gets off work. I'll take you to our temporary residence in Modu. Everyone has been living there for a while."
