Mu Jinyu had never paid attention to how Xu Tianzheng would handle them from start to finish.
He walked at the very front of the crowd, accompanied by a woman as graceful as a lotus.
It was Xu Qingya.
However, at this moment, the indifference and composure Xu Qingya had shown when she first met Mu Jinyu had vanished, as the shift in her grandfather and others' attitude towards Mu Jinyu made her feel somewhat uneasy when facing him.
After leaving the bank, Mu Jinyu looked around and saw no other banks in the vicinity.
He then turned to Xu Qingya and asked, "Hey, do you know if there's another bank nearby?"
Mu Jinyu still remembered Xu Qingya. On the day he visited the Xu Family, all the disciples looked at him either with mockery or anticipation of his humiliation, except Xu Qingya, who stood by his side to comfort him.
Therefore, among so many members of the Xu family, she was the only one left whom Mu Jinyu did not find disagreeable.
Xu Tianzheng bringing Xu Qingya along was indeed a smart move.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's question, Xu Qingya thought for a moment and said, "I'm not quite sure, let me check."
Finished speaking, she immediately took out her phone, pulled up the map, and started looking for the nearest bank to their location.
Of course, the nearest was the one they had just come out of.
Next was another bank 300 meters away.
"Here, is this bank alright?" Xu Qingya passed her phone to Mu Jinyu and asked softly.
Mu Jinyu glanced at it briefly and said, "As long as it's not the one we just came from, any other is fine. Let's go to that bank."
At this point, the bank managers and deputy managers, realizing they could not convince Xu Tianzheng to take back his order, were hoping that Mu Jinyu could persuade Xu Tianzheng for them.
The bank manager caught up, bowing repeatedly and apologizing to Mu Jinyu, "Mr. Mu, I am truly sorry for what happened. Rest assured, I will deal with those individuals strictly and ensure that this kind of incident never occurs again. Please give us another chance... I am personally willing to offer you ten million yuan as compensation, hoping you would accept it."
"Ten million yuan?!" Mu Jinyu said, faintly raising his eyebrows upon hearing this.
The bank manager, taking this as a good sign, was about to say something more.
But Mu Jinyu shook his head and said, "Sorry, I just don't want to deposit my hard-earned money in your bank. With a bank like this, who knows what might happen next? What if you don't compensate my money when there's an accident? Better not. To risk that for ten million yuan, I refuse."
"That won't happen, please believe me..." the bank manager, growing increasingly anxious, tried to speak again but was dragged away by Xu Tianzheng's bodyguards.
Afterward, he and the other deputy managers, blocked by Xu Tianzheng's bodyguards, could only watch helplessly as Mu Jinyu led Xu Tianzheng and the rest away with great strides...
Not until they saw Mu Jinyu get into Xu Tianzheng's exclusive Maybach and head toward the rival bank nearby did the bodyguards stop impeding them. They hastened towards the motorcade while the bank manager sighed resignedly, collapsing to the ground in defeat.
The bank manager was filled with regret at that moment.
If Manager Zheng hadn't made a mess of things, not only would his branch not have ended the cooperation with the Xu Family, the sixty million yuan that Mu Jinyu intended to deposit would have also been a remarkable achievement.
But now, because of Manager Zheng's stupidity, it was all ruined!
It was bad enough that it was ruined, but he could only watch helplessly as they went to a rival bank!
He felt like killing Manager Zheng and Wang Huanhuan.
...
This time, with the Xu Family members arrogantly by his side, Mu Jinyu arrived at that bank, directly entered the VIP room, and didn't need to say much before the high-level executives of that branch all came out, respectfully processing his card and deposit.
After the money was deposited, the high-level executives of the bank looked on with respectful expressions as Mu Jinyu and the others left.
Stepping out of the bank, Xu Tianzheng also knew that it was a critical moment. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't dare to say much. Then, thinking of something, he began to give Xu Qingya, who was standing on the other side of Mu Jinyu, meaningful looks.
Xu Qingya, seeing Xu Tianzheng's subtle actions, sighed helplessly in her heart and then took a deep breath before saying, "Doctor Mu... I..."
"Just call me Little Mu, or Jinyu. Sister Xiaoya, you don't have to be so formal with me," Mu Jinyu interrupted her, saying with a light smile.
Hearing this, Xu Qingya was quite grateful to Mu Jinyu, but she dared not really call him that. She looked at Xu Tianzheng, who nodded almost imperceptibly, and then she managed to smile and said, "Well then, I'll take the liberty of calling you Little Mu. Little Mu, could you possibly..."
Xu Qingya hesitated to finish her sentence, but Mu Jinyu smiled and said, "Could I help your grandfather completely cure his ALS?"
With the words out in the open, Xu Qingya felt a tightening in her heart, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Yes, my grandfather is actually a really nice person. You see, these past few days, he came out to look for you personally. It was just yesterday that he didn't find you..."
Xu Qingya was still organizing her words, thinking about how to persuade Mu Jinyu to agree to help, but Mu Jinyu had already nodded and said, "Alright, I'll give you face. Let's find a quiet place, and I'll completely cure your grandfather's ALS!"
"So you..." Xu Qingya was organizing the words she had just thought up, but upon clearly hearing Mu Jinyu's response, she was momentarily stunned, her mouth agape in a cute surprise, and she exclaimed, "You agreed?"
"Yeah, didn't you want me to agree?" Mu Jinyu turned his head to look at her with astonishment, then teased, "Or do you actually want me to pretend to comply while secretly plotting to kill your grandfather while treating him?"
At those words, Xu Qingya was startled and quickly covered Mu Jinyu's mouth with her hand, shaking her head and saying, "You can't joke about that; it's absolutely taboo."
Xu Tianzheng stood by with a resigned, bitter smile on his face. He was standing beside Mu Jinyu, but from start to finish, Mu Jinyu hadn't glanced at him once. Even when speaking those words, he did not consider Xu Tianzheng's presence right next to him.
But what could he do?!
Although he was the Family Head of the Xu Family, one of the Four Major Families of River City, he had no solution when faced with the Divine Doctor who held his life in the balance.
He could only behave like an obedient dog at Mu Jinyu's feet, wagging his tail and begging for mercy, hoping that in a moment of good mood, Mu Jinyu might throw him a bone, saving him from the threat of death.
Mu Jinyu's mouth was covered by Xu Qingya, his nose filled with the delicate fragrance of her cold sweat. Seeing her so nervous with her cute, flushed face, he couldn't help but want to tease her a bit.
"Hiss!"
Xu Qingya felt as if something had touched the palm of her hand; she was so scared that her face turned pale, and she jerked her hand away as if electrocuted.
An instant later, she realized what that warm, moist sensation on her palm was and, her cheeks burning with embarrassment, she didn't dare to look at Mu Jinyu anymore and quickly diverted her gaze.
