Chapter 19

 By the afternoon, Mu Lao was discharged from the hospital and walked home on his own.

  Most people thought it was a false alarm, but only Mu Xue and Liú Wēi knew the truth.

  Because they knew the truth, they were more astonished than anyone else. Zu Mo was truly a divine being. The "medicine" he provided had miraculous effects!

  Mu Xue thought to herself, she almost let her grandfather's illness be delayed due to her own paranoia and shallowness. If something had happened to her grandfather this time, she would have regretted it for the rest of her life.

  ...

  ...

  Zu Mo naturally had no idea about what happened at the Mu Family that night. Although Mu Xue's suspicion was infuriating, he didn't let it bother him too much.

  Life went on as usual, exercising, cooking, taking care of the child every day.

  The police didn't come knocking on his door because of his injuring Wu Sen. Everything seemed calm and quiet.

  ...

  ...

  Wu Sen was discharged from the hospital.

  With seven broken ribs and a broken collarbone, the doctor performed chest wall internal fixation surgery for him, saving his life. However, it was estimated that he would need to rest for at least half a year to fully recover.

  He didn't die because he was lucky, but because Zu Mo spared his life. Otherwise, even immortals couldn't have saved him.

  At this moment, Wu Sen sat in the smart wheelchair his mother bought for him, his expression changing constantly.

——Although Wu Sen's injury wasn't in his legs, Wei's mother worried that her son's running and movement would affect his postoperative recovery, so she simply bought an extremely expensive wheelchair and hired someone to take care of him.

——As soon as Wu Sen was discharged from the hospital, he received news that the police would not file a case regarding the incident where he was assaulted at the Year Ring Restaurant. The underlying implication seemed to be that the Mu Family in Kun Cheng had exerted pressure behind the scenes. On the surface, there were also reasons: Wu Sen had initiated the altercation, and Zu Mo's actions fell under legitimate selfdefense, thus not warranting criminal responsibility. Wei's father seemed to have ordered to put an end to the matter and not to escalate or pursue it further, possibly due to the Mu Family's connections.

So Wu Sen was feeling very frustrated now.

Wei's mother looked at her son with concern and said with a worried expression, "Xiao Teng, what background does the person who injured you have?"

"Background?" Wu Sen sneered, his face darkening ominously. "No background, just a loser who got dumped by his wife and now stays home all day taking care of his kid..."

At this point, he couldn't help but lightly touch his chest and grit his teeth, saying, "But judging from that kick, I'm afraid I underestimated him."

"No background? That doesn't make sense. Why would the Mu Family in Kun Cheng intervene?" Wei's mother asked in confusion.

"I'm not sure either, but I'll have someone look into it," Wu Sen shook his head, also puzzled. How did a nobody manage to get involved with the Mu Family in Kun Cheng?

"Xiao Teng, you must not act rashly. Your father about this..." 

"I know."

Wei's mother wanted to say more, but Wu Sen waved his hand at her. "Mom, it's okay. I know what to do."

A flash of fierce determination flickered in his eyes. Of course, I know what to do. Zu Mo, I'll make you regret being alive!

...

...

That day, Zu Mo and the little one finished dinner and went for a walk in the park.

With simple exercises and a diet supplemented with essence spirit fluid, the little one's body had become as strong as a little puppy, able to walk steadily and run quickly. If one wasn't careful, they would lose sight of him. So Zu Mo was even more careful, resolutely not letting the little one out of his sight.

Now, it had gone from Zu Mo walking the kid to the kid pulling Zu Mo along, pointing at birds on trees saying "birdy", pointing at a cartoon bear on a trash can saying "kitty", dancing a little with the square dance aunties, and dragging Zu Mo to sit on the rocking car in front of the store.

Just as the little one was having a blast on the rocking car, Zu Mo received a call from Chen Chao...

 Chen Chao said on the phone that the last gathering was ruined, and tonight they were planning another one.

 Zu Mo wasn't very interested, claiming that the kid went to bed early and they wouldn't be going out at night.

 Chen Chao laughed and scolded, "Stop fooling around. You're outside right now, I can hear the car noises. Lao Da, Lao Si, Zhang Jiao, Ai Lujia, Han Leilei have all agreed to meet. We're just waiting for you. If you're worried about the kid, we have a kindergarten teacher here, no shortage of people to help you with the child. Stop fussing, send us your address, we'll come pick you up!"

 Unable to refuse, Zu Mo reluctantly agreed, thinking he would just show his face and leave.

 Ten minutes later, the car arrived, and it was Min Sang who came to pick up Zu Mo.

 Min Sang was driving an ordinary domestic car, with Yun Jing in the passenger seat and Yun Haoran in the back seat.

 Seeing Zu Mo looking unscathed, Yun Haoran said, "What did I say? Third brother will be fine."

 Min Sang quickly got out of the car, came to Zu Mo, looked him up and down, and said, "Third brother, are you really okay? I've been worried these days, and I regret it a lot. If I hadn't arranged that thing last time, such a thing wouldn't have happened..."

 Seeing his genuine concern, Zu Mo smiled and said, "I'm fine. Last time wasn't your fault. Wu Sen brought it upon himself, and I acted in selfdefense. The police didn't do anything to me."

 Min Sang felt things weren't so simple and wanted to ask more, but Zu Mo interrupted, "Let's get in the car first, otherwise Chen Chao will surely scold us."

 Indeed, when everyone met, Chen Chao immediately criticized, "Why are you so slow? Lao Da, you should change this car. It's secondhand, and it's a domestic car. Can it even run?"

 After saying that, he laughed.

 He himself was driving an Audi A6.
