174 You Care About Your Friends and Family

Nathan Yang was glaring at Mu Qianmo. "Isn't it about time that you release me?"

Mu Qianmo smiled a smile that wasn't a smile.

Nathan Yang stiffened. He knew that this guy wasn't normal. Out of all the males in the group, he was the most calm and was the only one who was able to think rationally without letting his emotions cloud his judgment.

They say that it is never easy to deal with a smart enemy. How true that was.

"Mr. Yang. I am not a vindictive person nor do I like hurting people." Mu Qianmo began. He was sitting in a chair, with his elbows resting on his knees and his hands clasped together. His eyes were eerily calm for a person who hasn't slept for the past 24 hours.

"But, I am a person who cares for the people around me, especially my friends and family. Qingqing is my dear cousin and Lilian Mo is a dear friend of hers. In addition, I owe Lilian Mo for helping my friends. These two people are quite important to me, Mr. Yang. You must understand, right? Since you also have a brother." Mu Qianmo said meaningfully. For some reason, his words held some kind of hidden meaning and danger.

Nathan Yang was silent. He could feel the other party's hostility which was slowly unraveling. A bead of sweat rolled down on the back of his neck.

While he was confident with his fighting capabilities, he usually won only because he had the element of surprise and because he could outsmart his enemies by turning invisible.

However, once he was caught, that would be a huge problem. Escaping was like a far-off fantasy that wouldn't happen anytime soon, especially when dealing with such a dangerous individual.

"Mu Qianmo, right?" Nathan Yang asked.

"Yes. That's my name, Mr. Yang."

"Mu Qianmo, you said you care about your friends and family, right? Then, I suppose you would be concerned if you found out that Mu Qingqing's parents are at Section 3."

When Mu Qianmo heard this, his whole body stiffened.

....

"How are we going to get out of this place?"

Lu Jingren's words suddenly reminded Lilian Mo that they couldn't stay in the space for long. There were still things to do outside. And while she wanted to continue beating the shxt out of him, there was plenty of time for that later. For now, they needed to go back to Earth.

She wasn't as tired compared to before since she passed out and fell asleep. She also ate which allowed her to regain her energy.

Now, she was worried about the little girl and...

'Ah... That's right.' Lilian Mo thought with relief. 'Lin Fang is there...Thank goodness.'

However, Lilian Mo wasn't sure what she was going to tell the people outside.

If she told them that Lu Jingren was in her space, they would get anxious and the outcome would not be good. Lilian Mo also knew how dangerous it was for people to know about the existence of the space.

She did not trust Nathan Yang nor other people.

Lu Jingren must have understood her dilemma because he knew what to say.

"Don't worry, Lilian... I'll make an excuse. They would believe in my words."

Lilian Mo didn't trust Lu Jingren as well but knowing that he still possesses some tact was truly relieving.

At the moment, she was still wary of him after realizing that he was different from what she remembered. Lilian Mo wasn't stupid. She has some kind of idea of what was happening with all the clues she was getting.

Lilian Mo did not want to jump to conclusions. Afterall, the idea that maybe this world wasn't her original world was something that scared her a lot.

In this life, she suddenly has an Uncle and the Zoe Yang from her previous life become a person named Zhou Yang, who was currently a guy. There was also Nathan Yang and Nathalie Yang who she did not know of.

While she knows that she wouldn't be able to remember every important figure in the apocalypse, Lilian Mo was the type to keep updated with the important news and events.

Information was also the key to survival and allowed her to know who to avoid or who to not offend which is why the existence of a man in the army who is not only her uncle but is also a general was something that she couldn't quite wrap her mind around.
