Several people lay fallen outside the low walls of the villa; only one dark figure remained standing.
Mu He heard the footsteps behind him and deliberately stayed put.
"Who... who are you?" Xiaomei asked, her voice trembling as she warily held the mop in front of her.
Mu He turned and made a shushing gesture towards Xiaomei.
"Your sister is still resting."
Xiaomei immediately lowered her voice. "Who are you?"
"Someone protecting your sister."
"Did Wu Shi send you?"
Mu He didn't deny it.
Xiaomei assumed his silence meant yes and relaxed slightly, though she didn't lower the mop in her hands.
She scurried over. "Whose people are they? Why do they want to attack my sister?"
"Miss Fu has too many enemies; we'll need to investigate to find out."
"They're just jealous of my sister. I bet they work for either Li Qing or Su Kexin."
