Li Hanchen had brought Li An to a mine. They stood at the top of the mine as people walked up and down the mountain.

The workers pushed their carts and tools as they worked diligently with sweat trickling down their faces into the coal.

Workers were hard at work on the East side while it was completely silent on the other end where the medical team waited for some workers to be rescued.

Someone was carried out of the mine after the rescue team confirmed they had found someone.

The worker’s uniform was completely covered by coal dust and was unrecognizable. He had just suffered from hypoxia and food and water shortage, so he was slightly swollen when he was carried out of the mine. Also, his wounds were covered with coal dust and looked scary.

The worker had gotten trapped in the mine for nearly ten days. The moment he smelled fresh air, the macho 1.8-meter tall man wailed like a baby.

Although Li An had a hard time at the Li residence, it wasn’t a life or death situation, and it was the first time he was seeing this.

Since he was a soft-hearted kid, he felt bad watching this. “Big Bro?”

Li Hanchen looked down the mountain. “Do you feel bad for them?”

Li An was briefly stunned before he replied, “Uh huh. Are you trying to say that I will end up doing hard labor like them if I do not study hard?”

Li Hanchen turned his head and looked at him deeply. “That’s not what I meant.”

“Huh?” Li An was at a loss. Why did Li Hanchen bring him here then?

The howling man reminded Li Hanchen of himself when he was kidnapped since both of them were in equally desperate situations.

The only difference was that the rescue team was around to save this worker, but Li Hanchen had to escape on his own.

“If I were the one trapped under the mine, would you want to save me?”

Li An wanted to say it was impossible, but he promptly treated it seriously when he saw Li Hanchen’s cool profile. “Yes, I would.”

“How are you going to do it?” Li Hanchen turned his head and looked at Li An. His bright eyes looked reliant and at the same time innocent. “How are you going to do it?”

Li An’s heart felt stifled. His lips parted but he did not know what to say.

He would not know where to start if he wanted to save Li Hanchen.

Li Hanchen looked at Li An. “Has it ever crossed your mind? What’s going to happen if I am not around?”

“Why would you disappear? Are you planning on leaving the country again?” Li An was flustered.

Li Hanchen looked at him deeply.

He had planned on disappearing in about a year, but all his plans had changed now that Mu Sheng had shown up to treat him.

Regardless of whether he was around, he wanted Li An to have the ability to survive on his own.

Li An took a step forward when he noticed Li Hanchen’s silence. He grabbed Li Hanchen’s arm and looked at him pitifully. “I am sorry. I will study hard, so don’t leave me ever again.”

Li Hanchen’s face instantly softened as he contemplated. “I won’t ever leave you behind.”

Li An finally felt better. He was not entirely clueless. Li An could keenly sense the change in Li Hanchen’s mood when Li Hanchen asked him about what he would do if his older brother were trapped in the mine.

“Big Bro, what happened to you when you were kidnapped? Was it bad?” Li An raised his head and looked at Li Hanchen’s cold profile and felt a little sad for him.

He always felt sorry for himself because no one loved him and he had no academic achievement.

Now that Li An had witnessed a life and death situation, he suddenly felt his problems were unworthy of complaining about.

He recalled Li Hanchen was captured by internationally renowned kidnappers, so he must have had a hard time escaping them.

Li Hanchen turned his head sideways and glanced at Li An and noticed his eyes were red. He promptly looked at him gently. “Nope. Let’s go back.”

“You are lying. You must have suffered a lot.” For some reason, Li An keenly sensed the change in Li Hanchen’s mood despite being apart for over a decade.

Li Hanchen felt moved by his little brother’s concern. He patted Li An’s shoulder and said, “It won’t happen again.”

Li An suddenly felt protective when he saw Li Hanchen’s coolness. “Big Bro, don’t worry. I will become your and Sis-in-Law’s protector one day!”

Even though Li An was just a kid, Li Hanchen felt heartened by the look of determination on his child-like face. He glanced at Li An and said, “Enough. Let’s go home.”

“Uh huh!” Li An hugged Li Hanchen’s arm clingily. “Big Bro, you are the best older brother in the world!”

Li Hanchen glanced at him and said nothing.

After Li An got into the car, he inadvertently saw a box in the trunk which was filled with five bundles of books and reading material. His voice trembled as he said, “Are… are these for me?”

Qin Kai smiled as he looked at Li An. “That’s right. These are books from the principal’s reading list.”

Li An glanced at the box filled with hundreds of books before he looked at Li Hanchen’s cold face and looked upset.

He wanted to take back his words. Li Hanchen was not the best older brother in the world.

In reality, he was more like the evilest older brother on Earth!

Meanwhile, at Li Group.

A few secretaries looked at each other before gesturing for someone else to get a document signed. Everyone was worried about stepping on Li Ming’s toes.

“Why don’t you give it a shot? Mr. Li trusts you a lot.”

“No way. Mr. Li looks so angry that he might eat you alive anytime. He is simply too scary.”

Li Ming frowned as he watched Mu Sheng’s live telecasts.

He had already been watching them for 30 minutes, but he found it inconceivable that God Mu was Mu Sheng.

They had been trying to headhunt God Mu for Tiger Shark. How could Mu Sheng be God Mu?

A man dressed in a white suit came over just as the secretaries were discussing who should send the document for signing. “Young Master Han, hi! Mr. Li is waiting for you inside.”

Han Hao smiled. “I know.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he retrieved a few pieces of exquisitely packaged chocolate from his pocket. “This is for you girls.”

The ladies watched shyly as Han Hao swanned into the office.

Han Hao opened the door. “Dude, what’s going on? Why do you look so annoyed?”

Li Ming glanced at Han Hao. “Did you see the news yesterday?”

Han Hao sat on the couch and crossed his legs. “Uh huh. Do you have to be so angry? Shouldn’t you be happy?”

Li Ming frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Don’t you think things are a little strange with Mu Sheng?” Han Hao lit a cigarette. “Mu Sheng showed that she was an excellent skier on public television. Now, she is good at gaming. As I understand, she wasn’t this good in the past. Just think about it. When did she start to act abnormally?”

Li Ming pondered. “When I got engaged to Mu Xiao and she was forced to marry Li Hanchen.”

“That’s exactly it.” Han Hao exhaled cigarette smoke. “Everyone in town knows Young Master Li is an avid skier. Also, you like gaming so much that you funded Tiger Shark. It’s clear why she suddenly changed, right?”

Li Ming felt it made sense. However, he thought about how hard Mu Sheng hit him recently and changed his mind. “She really hates the sight of me now.”

“Women do that all the time. If there was no love, there would be no hate. She just wants to find justice for herself.”

Han Hao gradually convinced Li Ming. Li Ming thought about Mu Sheng’s brilliant gaming moves and felt he was right.

Mu Sheng definitely wasn’t a gamer in the past while Li Ming was famous for being an avid gamer, so she must have learned how to game and ski for his sake.

“I want her to come back to me, so you have to help me.” Li Ming looked at Han Hao.

Mu Sheng had humiliated him publicly. He wanted Mu Sheng to come back to him so that he could dump her yet again.

“Sure thing.” Han Hao snapped his fingers with an evil look in his eyes. Li Ming kept his eyes trained on the screen as he watched Mu Sheng’s live telecast, so he failed to notice the look on Han Hao’s face.

After Mu Sheng revealed she was God Mu, she became very well-known and a lot of brands reached out to collaborate with her.

Tang Tiantian looked at the endless email requests at Midsummer’s Night and almost passed out from all the excitement. Her eyes gleamed as she said, “Tian, Sheng is awesome! Look at all these emails with requests asking to work with her!”

Jiang Tian was more composed. “Go through the emails and pick out the good ones for Mu Sheng. A lot of the companies will offer less money since Mu Sheng is still new to the trade and some of them might be bad companies.”

Just as Jiang Tian expected, most of the offers came from unknown companies.

Although they made decent offers, they were unable to contribute to Mu Sheng’s career long term, so it was no point working with them.

The more Tang Tiantian went through the emails, the more disappointed she became. She finally found some hope when she saw a company name appearing on the letterhead. “Wow! Lay’s wants to work with us too. This is a good brand!”

However, Lay’s was not offering an ambassadorship deal. Instead, they wanted Mu Sheng to promote their products on her live telecast channel.

It did not pay much, but it was an international brand, so Jiang Tian quickly decided on taking the job.

Tang Tiantian quickly finalized the contract with Lay’s and told Mu Sheng about the assignment.

“Okay. Got it.”

After hanging up the phone, Mu Sheng contemplated quizzically.

She had neither sampled nor heard about potato chips in her past life.

She could only ask Li Hanchen for help.

Li Hanchen was in the office when he received a call from Mu Sheng.

“Hanchen, have you eaten potato chips before?”

Li Hanchen went quiet briefly. He had never eaten them before, but he nodded. “I will bring a box of chips back when I come home tonight.”

“Thanks.” Mu Sheng wondered if Li Hanchen could read her mind. She had barely finished what she wanted to say, but Li Hanchen promptly knew why she called.

“You’re welcome.”

“Okay. I have to go,” Mu Sheng said goodbye to Li Hanchen before hanging up the phone.

Mu Sheng put her phone back into her pocket and took a few steps forward. “Have you caught anything yet?”
