Chapter 50 - Rival in Love (He walked over to her
with interest in his eyes, rubbed her behind her ear and asked, "Just how did you get here?") (2)

It was also mentioned in the book that Mu Jungkook
made a major comeback after losing "Project
Falcon". Yet the book did not go into details how the
boss villain was able to make this comeback possible.

Judging from the situation, he was still in a difficult
place. Nonetheless, he seemed to be so full of
confident, as though he couldn't be bothered by Qin Suho and Liang Yeri at all.

So, what exactly was this winning hand that he has?

Bai Jimin laughed heartily, stood up from the
couch, casually made himself a cup of instant coffee,
and said, "Luckily your tech department had nothing
to do with Project Falcon anymore and can look into
what you need them to without any restraints. I trust
that they will find out some information soon enough."

Mu Jungkook snickered. "That old fox. I must expose him sooner or later."

Xu Lisa was startled. If she had to guess, the one
who he was referring to as the "old fox" must be his dad, Mu Jiyong.

Her speculation was confirmed the very next second. She could hear Bai Jimin carrying on, "Speaking of him, your grandmother, aunties, and the gang should be back from their vacation soon, right? How long has the Mu's residence been vacant? They must be coming home soon."

Mu Jungkook nodded slightly. "Yup. They will be back from New Zealand next month."

Seemingly enjoying the drama, the corners of Bai Jimin's mouth went up further. "Haha, between the
old lady, your two aunties, your batsht crazy dad,
and your prince of a brother Mu Sehun, there are
just an unlimited stream of dramas. I can't wait."

Mu Jungkook gave him a stare then, quickly pulling out a cigarette from a pack, threw it at Bai Jimin.

Bai Jimin caught the little cigarette steadily with his
hand. He fished out his lighter and lit it up. "Speaking
of the old lady at your placed likes Liang Yeri
so much. To a point that she didn't care if she has a
boyfriend, or that she is no longer good enough for
your family after her family went bankrupt, she still
wanted you to marry her. You had no choice but to
hire Miss Xu.... and the old lady isn't happy about that. Miss Xu is going to have some difficult times ahead of her after the old lady's return. Man, your family, first there's a battle going on in the business world and then there will be another one within your family. That Miss Xu is quite cute. I wonder if she will be able to handle this."

After that, Bai Jimin had said all that he could say.
Mu Jungkook's look darkened.

Having been with him for a bit now, even though she
couldn't see him from where she was, Xu Lisa still
had a pretty good idea of how he looked right about
now.

After a while, she could hear the sound of a chair
being dragging across the floor. Immediately after
that she could hear Mu Jungkook's footsteps getting
closer and closer toward her room.

Xu Lisa was startled --- hide, hide, hide. She must
find a spot to hide herself right away.

Wouldn't it be so odd that the little fox was here
enjoying the air-conditioning like nobody's business
when the owner wasn't even around?

Just when she was jumping up and down trying to
figure out what to do, Mu Jungkook had already came to the door and opened it up.

All of a sudden, both the man and the fox froze.

Mu Jungkook squinted a little and a sense of surprise flashed through his eyes. He walked over with interest in his eyes. Stroking her behind her ears, he asked, "Just what you are doing here?"

The little fox's ears went soft all of a sudden. She
chirped a few times and collapsed onto the table
motionlessly.

This man's hand was poisonous.

"Jungkook, who's there? Miss Xu?" Hearing some
noises, Bai Jimin came over as well. His mouth
dropped open when he saw the king of Hell stroking
behind the fox's ears with the most tender look on his face. "Mu Jungkook, since when do you have a fox?.... Wait, isn't this the little fox that is being talked about all over the web? How did you do that?"
