When Mui Nujiao asked the question, Dongfang Lie was standing beside her too. He immediately recalled how Mo Fan had defeated him with a single punch. From that day onward, Mo Fan had gone missing. It turned out that he had gone to the Ancient Capital!
"Right? What's wrong with you all? Isn't it reasonable that I'm the winner?" Mo Fan looked around him and realized that everyone was looking at him strangely!
He could not quite put his finger on it. To put it bluntly, it felt like they were looking at a lunatic. To put it nicely, it felt like they were in disbelief, admiration, or astonishment …
Mo Fan did not overthink it. He headed to the Healing Hall to check on Zhao Manyan's condition.
Zhao Manyan had contributed greatly to the victory. Mo Fan had to know if he was still alive or not. If he was dead, he would burn some joss paper and tell Zhao Manyan that he had blasted the German team into smithereens.
When he arrived at the Healing Hall, Mo Fan soon saw Zhao Manyan, who was still unconscious.
Zhao Manyan was severely injured. It was unlikely that he would recover in a short period of time. Mo Fan was about to leave when he saw an old woman walking into the room with a displeased look.
Apart from the old woman, Advisor Feng Li, the students of the national team who could still walk normally, a few Councilmen, Chief Pang Lai, Chairman Shao Zheng, and Han Ji, who had just finished his performance, were all in the room.
"You're all here to visit Zhao Manyan too? That guy has the life of a turtle, he won't die," Mo Fan burst out laughing.
He initially thought everyone would laugh along with him and visit Zhao Manyan. To his surprise, the annoying old woman, Zu Huiyin, came up to Mo Fan and bowed deeply at him, together with Zu Jiming, who looked like he had eaten something.
Mo Fan was startled. He then glanced at Han Ji, who was wearing a cunning smile on his face!
Mofan was suddenly enlightened!
"I'm really sorry. My nephew is a little mean, and I failed to discipline him. I accidentally blamed you and made comments about you. It was indeed my negligence as the chairman's secretary, so I brought my nephew here to apologize to you. I hope you won't take it to heart." Zu Huiyin spoke very softly. She was completely different from the arrogant old woman she was before!
The president's secretary was more important than Han Ji, the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association. He was already such a big shot, yet he was apologizing to a young man in front of all the interviewers and other members of parliament! If they didn't know that Mofan was the savior of the Ancient Capital, this would be a fantasy.
"My heart is not in the right place. To put it bluntly, I am what you call a vile person. A vile person will naturally take many things to heart. I will definitely take this matter to heart." Mo Fan did not like to spoil people. Moreover, Mo Fan had wanted to stomp this idiot Zu Jiming to death ten thousand times already!
When Zu Huiyin heard Mofan's words, her face turned as black as charcoal!
This guy was such a vile person. He was gloating over her misfortune!
Mofan did not show any mercy to Zu Huiyin. She was left in an awkward position.
Zu Huiyin was dumbfounded when Han Ji announced the truth about the Ancient Capital!
The news about Zu Huiyin, the president's secretary, saying that Mofan was not in the right place had already spread far and wide. Since most people were talking about the World College Tournament, the news was immediately published by the media. On top of that, the Lu Clan was trying to pick on Mofan, thus they took the opportunity to smear Mofan's name, just so Mofan would not have a bright future in the World College Tournament. However, as soon as Han Ji announced the truth, the Lu Clan's evil intentions and Zu Huiyin's old face immediately turned into deadly weapons. Zu Huiyin and the Lu Clan immediately became the targets of the people's curses and roars!
Especially those who had experienced the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. They still had great respect for Mofan and Zhang Xiaohou. They could even curse their parents, but they could not curse the two of them. When the incident between Mofan and Zhang Xiaohou was made public, any negative news about Mofan, or the rumors about him being in the center of the storm, immediately infuriated the people, forcing the president's secretary into a corner.
It was likely that Zu Huiyin would never have thought of such a thing when she said those words so arrogantly. Even if Mofan was the Emperor of Heaven, it was still possible for her to make such a comment, but the incident at the Ancient Capital was not something that could be measured with mere authority. The will of the people was undeniable!
Who did the president's secretary think she was?
During the Calamity of the Ancient Capital, she had killed an undead, she had saved a citizen's life, and she had uncovered half of the Black Vatican's lackeys?
She had not done anything. All she did was criticize the people, yet in less than an hour, Zu Huiyin had been condemned by the people. She had never expected the people to go crazy like that!
It was also the reason why Zu Huiyin had brought Zu Jiming here and apologized to Mofan in front of so many people. If she did not apologize, she would be done for. The higher-ups would never allow someone who was condemned to be the president's secretary. She had crossed a line that even the higher-ups did not dare to speak for her!
The authorities immediately drew a clear line between the Chairman's secretary and Zu Huiyin. Even the Lu Clan, which had always wanted to punish Mo Fan, immediately turned the tables and sent an authoritative spokesperson to refute Zu Huiyin's words, since they did not say anything too extreme!
Zu Huiyin almost broke into a fight with the people of the Lu Clan. She was only speaking for the Lu Clan, yet the Lu Clan had abandoned her after she had outlived her usefulness!
Zu Huiyin, who had been bowing the whole time and did not even dare to look at Mofan's shoes, was utterly regretful. Why did she have to speak for that idiot Zu Jiming? Her nephew had always been smart, yet he had no foresight. Why did she have to suck up to the Lu Clan? It clearly had nothing to do with her!
"President, look … it's all a misunderstanding." Zu Huiyin was on the verge of tears. It had only been an hour, yet it had already caused such a huge impact. She did not dare to imagine what was going to happen next.
"As the president's secretary, you should be responsible for your words. Since Mofan doesn't accept your apology, I hope you can settle the grudge yourself, "Shao Zheng said calmly.
As a matter of fact, Shao Zheng already knew this was going to happen. However, he was quite taken aback by the crowd's outcry. Perhaps the crowd would even ask him to step down if he said something bad about Mofan …
Shao Zheng had no intention of saving Zu Huiyin. Shao Zheng had long wanted to get rid of the scheming woman and the president's secretary. Unfortunately, even though the president's secretary was only his assistant in name, she was actually a spy that his political opponents had planted around him. Shao Zheng had tried to execute many of his plans, but they had stopped him from doing so.
Shao Zheng believed he had a clear conscience in his position. Therefore, Zu Huiyin had no choice but to step down from her position for the sake of the people!
…
"Mu Nujiao, contact your family. You will be taking over Zu Jiming's position in the upcoming matches," Feng Li suddenly turned around and said to Mu Nujiao as the crowd was leaving.
As soon as he said that, Zu Jiming, who had walked outside, fell to the ground. His eyes widened in shock.
"Advisor, I …" Zu Jiming was about to say something.
"That's enough. I'm already aware of the conflict between the two of you. Now that the ranking of our country is at stake, I don't want the competition to be ruined because of the conflict between the members. You don't have to talk about human rights and justice with me. If you were the one who won the match, I would kick Mofan out too! "Feng Li was very stern when he was being merciless.
Zu Jiming completely lost his mind.
He had lost the duel before he even had a chance against Mofan!
Zu Jiming had no idea how he left the place. He initially thought he could use the upcoming matches to redeem himself, so his aunt Zu Huiyin would not be so mad at him. He wanted Zu Huiyin to think he was still useful. However, his identity as a member of the national team had been taken away. He was nothing but a piece of trash now!
Zu Jiming never thought it would end up like this!
…
…
The curtains swayed softly. Mu Ningxue, who was staying in a sanatorium not far from the stadium, was leaning against the headboard. She had mixed feelings in her heart that she could not describe with words.
As she thought, someone pushed the door open and entered the room. The person standing in front of her was none other than the hero that the whole country was praising.
Mu Ningxue looked at the man. The man had a casual, yet perverted grin on his face …
"Xuexue, I'm here to see you. How's your recovery?" Mofan came up to her. He still had some obvious injuries on his body, yet he still looked energetic, as if nothing could defeat him.
Mu Ningxue lifted her gaze. She was about to say that she was fine when she saw an obvious lipstick mark on Mofan's cheek. It was pink. The owner of the lipstick must be very attractive. The lipstick mark was delicate and plump …
Mu Ningxue wanted to pretend that she did not see it, but Mofan insisted on sticking his face close to hers. Mu Ningxue, who was trying to treat Mofan with her heart, was instantly disgusted and infuriated!
"Have you looked at yourself in the mirror?" Mu Ningxue's voice was no longer angry.
"Nope," said Mofan.
Mofan was confused. He went to the bathroom to take a look and immediately saw an alluring lipstick mark on his cheek.
Mofan felt like he was being struck by lightning. He quickly went to wipe it off.
F * cking hell.
It was Mu Nujiao's lips …
Mui Nujiao finally felt relieved. She excitedly kissed Mo Fan on the cheek when only the unconscious Zhao Manyan was left in the room. The kiss did not have any other intentions, it was just a way to release her emotions. After all, Mui Nujiao had put in a lot of effort to secure a spot on the national team.
As such, she was overjoyed by the unexpected promotion. She forgot everything and kissed Mofan on the cheek. However, Mu Nujiao immediately realized that she had crossed the line after the kiss. She immediately fled for her life like a little deer that had lost its head.
Mofan did not even have the chance to take advantage of her. He forgot about the lipstick mark and came to visit Mu Ningxue excitedly. He also wanted to tell her how awesome he was today, yet he did not expect things to turn out like this.
