Chapter 74: Are We Heroes?

Mu Yinian’s tears streamed down. Only heaven knew how scared he had been by the scene just now.

To say he was terrified was an understatement.

Xiao Changming, after his bodyguards dealt with the assassin, looked over and said, “He’s fine, just suffered a bit.”

He had sustained countless injuries, big and small, and Shi Qingfeng’s injury was nothing to him.

Shi Qingyan’s anger surged. He glared at him, steadied his trembling hand, and sent a message telling them that they had taken care of it and not to come.

While sending the message, he thought, “I definitely can’t let him get to Ji Yang easily.”

He was determined to be a stumbling block.

Just you wait.

Everyone was thankful that their wives hadn’t come to the banquet; otherwise, it wouldn’t have just been Shi Qingfeng injured.

The ambulance arrived quickly. Shi Mubai and Shi Qingyan went with Shi Qingfeng in the ambulance, while the others drove to the hospital.

Xiao Changming stayed behind to handle the aftermath.

Shi Qingfeng’s wound wasn’t deep. He got a few stitches and an anti-inflammatory injection, and then he could go home.

Once everyone was sure Shi Qingfeng was okay, they went home.

“Shi-ge, I’ll visit you tomorrow.”

“Okay, don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Mu Yinian, with tears in his eyes, looked back every few steps at the pale-faced Shi Qingfeng, his eyes filled with heartache.

The whole night had been too stimulating. As soon as he relaxed, he felt exhausted.

Mu Ningshuang, Lan Xia, and Mu’s mother, Ning Xi, went shopping together. When they returned home, they found that their husbands and sons weren’t back. They called and found out that the eldest son was injured.

“It’s okay, we’ll be home soon, don’t worry.”

When the women got home, Mu Ningshuang, with red eyes, checked her son over before she felt relieved.

Shi Qingfeng smiled faintly, reassuring her, “Mom, I’m fine, it’s just a small injury.”

Shi Qingyan and Ji Yang exchanged a look, and while they were talking, they quietly slipped away.

Shi Mubai’s face had been dark since Shi Qingfeng was injured. Seeing the two of them trying to sneak away, he said in a deep voice, “Come here.”

A chill ran down their spines. They wore bitter expressions, lowered their heads, and shuffled their feet to stand in front of Shi Mubai.

“I’m asking you, when did you two learn to fight?”

Mu Ningshuang was puzzled. “Fight?”

Shi Mubai told her what had happened tonight. Mu Ningshuang was shocked to hear that her two children knew how to fight.

“No wonder Yinian said before that you helped him chase away the thugs, but you said Qin Tingshen did it. I didn’t expect it, Shi Zhuangzhuang, you’re really capable.”

Shi Qingyan sneered, and the two of them immediately felt their scalps tingle and their mouths turn bitter.

Damn Xiao Changming, damn the assassin, now it’s all out in the open.

“I, I learned it when I was learning Taekwondo as a kid.”

Shi Qingyan was physically weak and prone to illness as a child. To strengthen his body, he had learned Taekwondo for a few years, but he wasn’t very skilled.

Ji Yang joined purely for fun and learned along with him.

“You were only so-so when you learned it. The ferocity you showed in the fight today doesn’t look like someone who’s learned Taekwondo. What else is there?”

Shi Mubai stared intently at them. Could learning Taekwondo lead to someone taking a knife to hurt people without changing expression?

It wasn’t that he was blaming the children for fighting, but he was afraid that they would go astray.

It’s normal for boys to know how to fight. They can protect themselves when necessary, which is good. Even Shi Qingfeng used to get into fights when he was young.

But the way they fought today really frightened them, especially Shi Qingyan.

What if he went down the wrong path? His whole life would be ruined.

Shi Qingyan clearly knew what they were upset about, so he had to tell the truth.

“Ji Yang and I were kidnapped before. Ever since then, we’ve been secretly learning.”

Hearing this, the three of them couldn’t stay angry, and that bit of anger dissipated completely.

Back then, the two of them had just started junior high school. Shi Mubai and his wife were busy with work, and their enemies took advantage of the opportunity to kidnap them.

Ji Yang’s parents owned a company, and the two families had been cooperating for a long time. The alliance had made their companies bigger and bigger, and naturally, there were many dissatisfied people.

The two of them were scared at the time, but they also knew to try to save themselves as much as possible.

Shi Qingyan was smart and led Ji Yang to run away, struggling to escape to a safe place and call the police, which was how they came back safe and sound.

When the two families arrived, terrified, they found that the children and the kidnappers were gone. Mu Ningshuang and Ji Yang’s mother, Liang Sisi, fainted from the shock.

It wasn’t until they received a call from the police station, informing them that the two children were safe, that they felt their hearts come back to life.

From then on, they kept a close eye on the two of them. Both sets of parents felt that it was their negligence that had caused the children to suffer, and they were always especially doting on them.

Even Shi Qingfeng and Ji Yang’s older sister doted on them to the core.

From that day on, the two secretly hired retired mercenaries to teach them, in order to prevent being kidnapped again, so they could have the ability to protect themselves in the future.

The learning process was accompanied by all kinds of pain, which the two swallowed with blood and tears.

They silently endured all the injuries, which is why they were able to protect their families today.

Hearing this, the three of them fell silent. Mu Ningshuang was about to cry when Shi Qingyan spoke up: “Mom, don’t you think we were handsome tonight? Ha~”

“Auntie, aren’t we heroes? Roar~”

Their comical actions made Mu Ningshuang laugh, suppressing the tears that were about to fall and turning her tears into a smile.

“You two are just trying to make me happy.”

Shi Qingyan and Ji Yang each hugged Mu Ningshuang, “Mom, you should be happy, Ji Yang and I are so powerful, we can protect you in the future.”

“That’s right, Auntie, you didn’t see us, one punch to the left, one kick to the right, we beat all the bad guys away, it was so impressive.”

After a series of jokes and banter, they finally managed to gloss over the fact that they knew how to fight.

They didn’t say anything because they didn’t want their family to worry. They knew that Mu Ningshuang and Liang Sisi would feel sorry for them and wouldn’t let them learn, so they kept it a secret.

Now that they had confessed, they wouldn’t have to hide when they fought in the future.

After showering, Shi Qingyan knocked on Shi Qingfeng’s door.

Shi Qingfeng had just taken a shower, his hair was still dripping wet. He put on his bathrobe and opened the door to see his younger brother standing at the door.

“Brother, did you finish showering? Let me help you take off the waterproof bandage.”

Shi Qingfeng nodded and went back to his room to sit down. Shi Qingyan gently removed the waterproof bandage.

Shi Qingfeng’s injury was on his back and shoulders, so Shi Qingyan helped him blow-dry his hair and took out pain relievers, afraid that he would be in pain if he moved around.

“Okay, brother, this is a pain reliever. Take two if it hurts badly.”

Shi Qingfeng found it amusing. “Okay, I got it. Go to sleep, little hero.”

The words “little hero” made Shi Qingyan feel happy, and his smug look made Shi Qingfeng chuckle.

“Good night, brother.”

“Good night, Xiao Yan.”

Shi Qingfeng went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror, his smile freezing.

Was the wild-haired little lion in the mirror really him, or was it his younger brother?

He now knew why his younger brother’s hair was always sticking up in the morning.

After washing his hair, he blow-dried it haphazardly. It would be strange if it didn’t stick up.

It took Shi Qingfeng a long time to comb his hair.

This wasn’t helping him at all; it was clearly making things worse.
