### Chapter 278: Huo Tingying Wakes Up

Yun Mu's vision went black, and her eardrums throbbed intensely.

When she regained consciousness, everything around her had quieted down.

The hood of the car was dented badly.

White smoke was rising from the front.

Cold sweat dripped down Yun Mu's forehead as she hurriedly looked at Ji Ming, "Are you okay?"

Ji Ming remained in that position, still a bit dazed, and didn't hear Yun Mu clearly. He just stared at her blankly.

Yun Mu grew anxious and raised her voice, "Ji Ming, speak up! Are you injured?"

Ji Ming shook his head vigorously, finally coming to his senses and hearing Yun Mu's words.

He slowly sat down, pressing his temples, "I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"

Yun Mu breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and then looked at Yun Shumo.

Yun Shumo had been hit hard and was breathing heavily as he shook his head, "Not dead yet!"

"The car was tampered with; it's not safe here. We need to leave immediately!"

Yun Mu quickly made a call, rearranging for a helicopter to fly straight to the capital.

By evening.

The dusky sunlight fell gently on the transparent container, softly illuminating the handsome man sleeping inside.

Suddenly, the man's eyes snapped open, emitting a cold and fierce glare.

Yunzhe, who was leaning against the side, glanced at the time and began recording, "Exactly 42 hours..."

As he spoke, the container rumbled and was opened.

The man stepped out with long strides, his anger evident as he launched a flurry of punches at Yunzhe!

His frosty gaze fixed on Yunzhe, he growled, "Dare to scheme against me? You're asking for it!"

Yunzhe wiped the corner of his mouth, his usual calmness replaced by a cold demeanor.

"Mr. Huo, this is the last time I'll let you get away with it. Next time, I'll fight back."

Huo Tingying's eyes darkened even more as he grabbed Yunzhe by the collar, his icy voice whispering menacingly, "Then try fighting back!"

He raised his fist, ready to strike Yunzhe's face.

But Yunzhe interrupted him, "Did you know Yun Mu almost got into a car accident today?"

Huo Tingying's fist froze mid-air.

Yunzhe continued sarcastically, "Oh, of course you wouldn't know. You were unconscious all this time. Even if Yun Mu died a thousand deaths outside, you wouldn't have known—"

Huo Tingying was about to hit him again.

But Yunzhe didn't provoke him further and said, "But don't worry, Yun Mu is fine. The one in trouble is Yun Shumo."

"What exactly happened?"

Huo Tingying's voice was laced with icy shards, his narrow eyes piercing.

Yunzhe snorted lightly, "Do you remember my warning?"

Huo Tingying frowned deeply, "Did Yun Mu find out about my condition?"

"Not yet. But Yun Shumo used Yun Mu's contacts from the Southern Mystic Continent, which alerted her enemies. They chased after Yun Shumo, thinking he was Yun Mu. After realizing their mistake, they kidnapped him to lure Yun Mu out. Yun Mu and Ji Ming rescued Yun Shumo, but on the way back, the brakes failed, nearly causing an accident."

Huo Tingying's eyes turned colder, "Brake failure?"

A hint of coldness crept into Yunzhe's lips, "Yes, it's not safe for Ji Ming either. As you can see, any sign of activity from the Southern Mystic Continent puts Yun Mu in danger."

Huo Tingying's expression was complex, his face covered in ice.

Though silent, Yunzhe knew what he was thinking.

"Now, can you still hesitate to push her away? If you make her return to the Southern Mystic Continent for your sake, she'll be left with nothing."

Huo Tingying clenched his fists, his pale lips parting slightly, "I can't bear it..."

Yunzhe's expression seemed to mock him.

"Can't bear it? Who can? Don't you love her? Can't you make this decision?!"

Did he ever bear it willingly?

Was he bearing it now?

Yet, for her sake, he had always chosen to give up alone.

Huo Tingying sensed his emotions and stared at him with icy, deep eyes, "You care deeply for Yun Mu and know her well. Who are you, really?"

Yunzhe's eyes flickered momentarily before he smiled, regaining his composed demeanor.

"Does it matter who I am? Just remember, I will treat your illness with all my heart and never harm Yun Mu."

Huo Tingying stared at him intently, a vague answer forming in his mind.

But he didn't ask, didn't say anything more. He only picked up the coat beside him and prepared to leave.

Behind him, Yunzhe coldly reminded, "Remember my words, make your decision sooner rather than later."

Huo Tingying did not turn back.

...

Imperial Capital.

Yun Family Residence.

The moment Yun Tingying and Lin Wanqing saw Yun Mu get out of the car, they immediately approached with surprise.

When they then saw Yun Shumo, disheveled and covered in injuries, getting out of the car, their anxiety spiked.

"What happened? Second son, how did you end up like this?" Lin Wanqing worriedly checked her son. Seeing that he wasn't seriously hurt, she pushed him away and turned to hold Yun Mu with concern. "Mumu, are you injured? Do you feel any discomfort?"

Yun Shumo gritted his teeth, "Mom, can't you see she's fine? Can you please not be so obviously biased? I'm the one who's injured here!"

Lin Wanqing glared at him, "You're a grown man; what does it look like to whine about a few injuries? Shameful!"

Yun Shumo: "..."

Yun Tingying also looked at Yun Mu and coughed awkwardly, "Are you injured?"

At least he cared. Yun Mu didn't retort this time, "I'm fine."

Yun Tingying glanced at the flamboyant Ji Ming behind her. Although he knew this blonde had been around his daughter all along, seeing him in person still irked him.

If not for the inappropriate timing, he would have scolded Yun Mu again.

After all, she was married now; what was she doing hanging around with a blonde all day?

"Tell me, what happened?"

Yun Mu glanced at Yun Shumo, who immediately downplayed it, "It's nothing serious. Just ran into some enemies and got tied up. Yun Mu and Ji Ming saved me."

Yun Tingying frowned, "What kind of enemies dared to tie you up?"

Yun Shumo, "The casino is a mix of all sorts of people. How would I know their background?"

Yun Tingying's brows furrowed deeper, "I've told you before to close the casino and help your elder brother manage the family business! Look at the trouble you keep getting into!"

Just then, a servant wheeled out the Yun family's patriarch.

"Alright. The second son is injured. Let the child go treat his wounds first," the patriarch intervened.

Only then did Yun Tingying stop scolding and asked the servants to call the family doctor to treat Yun Shumo's wounds.

"Mumu, you and Young Master Ji, come in and sit down," the patriarch said kindly.
