Chapter 179: Childhood sweethearts?

Qin Chuchu looked up and saw a man in a suit with short hair and a handsome face, exuding an extraordinary aura.

At the same time, Ye Bufan also glanced at the man, his heart stirring slightly; a Yellow Level Warrior in the Middle Stage, his cultivation was not much different from He Shuangshuang's.

The man smiled slightly again, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. “Chu Chu, three years have passed in a blink of an eye, and you’re still as beautiful as ever.”

“Mu Gaofeng, when did you return?”

Qin Chuchu showed a surprised expression.

She was very familiar with the man in front of her; their families had a good relationship, and they had been playmates since childhood.

However, Mu Gaofeng later entered the Special Intelligence Bureau, a special department of Huaxia, through special channels, and there had been no news of him since then, so she had not expected him to suddenly return today.

Mu Gaofeng smiled slightly, not concealing the admiration in his eyes: “I came back this time for you, and I’ll be staying in Jiangnan City from now on.”

“Mu Team is now the captain of our Special Intelligence Bureau’s Jiangnan Brigade; he could have gone to a better city, but for Miss Chu Chu, he voluntarily requested to return to Jiangnan City.”

The speaker was a young man following behind Mu Gaofeng, looking about 20 years old; he was Mu Gaofeng’s subordinate, Guan Chao, and also a loyal confidant.

Guan Chao continued, “Miss Chu Chu, Mu Team often talks about you and frequently smiles foolishly at your photos, which I’ve seen several times.

Over the years, he has rejected many suitors for your sake; there aren't many good men this devoted anymore.

If you ask me, you two should quickly finalize your relationship and let me call you my sister-in-law, so that Mu Team doesn’t spend his days lost in thought.”

“Xiao Guan, don’t talk nonsense.”

Mu Gaofeng reprimanded Guan Chao, but there was no hint of blame in his eyes.

Afterward, he said to Qin Chuchu, “Chu Chu, let me introduce you, this is my subordinate, Guan Chao.”

Guan Chao cooperatively called out, “Hello, sister-in-law.”

Qin Chuchu’s face quickly darkened; although her relationship with Mu Gaofeng was good, at most they were just friends, and she had never thought of it in terms of a romantic relationship.

At this moment, Guan Chao calling her sister-in-law in front of Ye Bufan made her feel extremely annoyed.

She secretly glanced at Ye Bufan, saw that his expression was calm and he was not生气, and only then did she relax.

Qin Chuchu suppressed her anger and said, “Mu Gaofeng, I think you might have misunderstood; we are just friends, and it’s not what you think at all.”

Mu Gaofeng’s expression changed slightly, and then he said, “Chu Chu, I know this might be a bit sudden for you, but I am truly sincere…”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore; I already have someone I like.” Qin Chuchu said, holding Ye Bufan’s arm, “Let me introduce you all, this is my boyfriend, Ye Bufan.”

The two had just gotten out of the car, and Mu Gaofeng had thought Ye Bufan was just Qin Chuchu’s driver and hadn’t paid him any mind, but upon hearing he was her boyfriend, his expression immediately turned cold.

Guan Chao indignantly exclaimed, “Miss Chu Chu, how could you have a boyfriend? Are you being fair to Captain Mu?”

Then he looked at Ye Bufan with an angry expression, “How can someone like this compare to our Captain Mu?

You should know that Mu Team is the youngest captain in the Special Intelligence Bureau, and he will be promoted further in the future; his prospects are limitless.”

“That’s enough, Xiao Guan, don’t say anymore.”

Mu Gaofeng stopped Guan Chao, then scrutinized Ye Bufan and said, “Let me introduce myself, I am Mu Gaofeng, and Chu Chu and I grew up together; we are childhood sweethearts.”

Qin Chuchu said, “Don’t talk nonsense; we just grew up together, but it has nothing to do with being childhood sweethearts.”

Mu Gaofeng ignored Qin Chuchu and continued to speak to Ye Bufan, “I won’t ask what you do, because it has no meaning to me; no matter what line of work you’re in, you’re definitely not as excellent as I am.

So I’ll give you a piece of advice: quickly leave Chu Chu; you are simply not worthy of her.”

Ye Bufan glanced at this arrogant fellow and said mockingly, “Are you very excellent? Why haven’t I noticed?”

“Not giving up? You want to compete with me, do you? I’m telling you, this is just asking for humiliation.”

Mu Gaofeng raised his chin and said proudly, “In terms of family background, I am the sole heir of the Mu Family; in terms of status and position, I am the captain of the Special Intelligence Bureau’s Jiangnan Brigade, and local rules have no binding effect on me; in terms of cultivation, I am a Yellow Level Warrior. What do you have to compare with me?”

Ye Bufan nodded and cooperatively said, “Sounds quite impressive.”

Mu Gaofeng said, “Good that you know; quickly withdraw automatically. Don’t talk about fair competition, because you simply don’t have the qualifications to compete with me.”

Ye Bufan sighed, putting on a helpless expression, and said, “I also know I’m not as excellent as you, and I also want to leave Chu Chu, but there’s nothing I can do; she just likes me.

She follows me around all day, and I can’t shake her off.”

“You…”

How could Mu Gaofeng not hear that this guy was deliberately trying to provoke him?

“Alright, stop messing around.” Qin Chuchu said, holding Ye Bufan’s arm, “Mu Gaofeng, whatever you do, whether you’re excellent or not, has nothing to do with me.

Xiao Fan is right, I just like him, and I can’t leave him. In my eyes, he is 100 times, 1000 times more excellent than you, so just give up.”

After saying that, she pulled Ye Bufan and walked towards the Western restaurant.

Ye Bufan turned back to Mu Gaofeng, spread his hands, and said playfully, “You see, there’s nothing I can do; Chu Chu is just so clingy to me, I can’t even shake her off.”

After speaking, he put his large hand around Qin Chuchu’s slender waist, and the two walked sweetly into the restaurant.

This guy was clearly here to poach his girlfriend; naturally, he would show no mercy to such a person.

Mu Gaofeng stood behind them, his veins bulging on his forehead from anger, his fists clenched tightly, and his face so gloomy it looked like water could drip from it.

Guan Chao said, “Captain, should I go over and teach that kid a good lesson?”

“No need.”

Mu Gaofeng took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, then released his clenched fists, and turned to enter a military green off-road vehicle parked nearby.

Guan Chao followed closely and got into the car, saying indignantly, “Captain, are we just going to let this go?”

“Of course not; no one can snatch my woman.” Mu Gaofeng said, “But if I act rashly, it will affect Chu Chu’s impression of me. The most important thing now is to win Chu Chu’s heart.

Dealing with that kid is secondary; it can be done anytime. As long as I want to, I can crush him with just one finger.”

“The captain is right.” Guan Chao said, “Then what should we do? We can’t just stand here and watch, can we?”

Mu Gaofeng said, “First, you investigate that kid’s background.”

“Understood, Captain.”

With the Special Intelligence Bureau’s capabilities, Ye Bufan’s information was quickly mostly uncovered.

Ten minutes later, Guan Chao held a stack of documents and said, “Captain, that kid is just a student at Jiangnan Medical University and has no background.

However, he has recently cured several important patients and has a very good relationship with the He Family, the Tang Family, and even Wang Jianfeng of the Police Station.”

Originally, with the Special Intelligence Bureau’s capabilities, if they investigated more thoroughly, they could have uncovered more information.

But he completely underestimated Ye Bufan, thinking that the initial information he obtained was already sufficient.
