Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue.

  His well-defined features were as cold as if they were carved from ice. His eyes were like two icebergs and his thin lips were compressed into a sharp straight line, and there was a ghastly chill emanating from him.

  Xu Youning was confused. “Who recklessly provoked Mu Sijue?”


  Yang Shanshan found that Xu Youning actually dared to stare at Mu Sijue so openly. She could not help being angry and shouted, “Xu Youning!”


  Since she was a child, Yang Shanshan had been pampered like a delicate flower. She was a girl who was beloved by many people. Except for Mu Sijue, no one dared to ignore her.

  But Xu Youning actually asked her to get out of her way and stared at Mu Sijue directly as if she did not see her.

  Mu Sijue belonged to her. Xu Youning, who had worked undercover for Mu Sijue, was not even qualified to talk to him!

  Mu Sijue suddenly exposed Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering, which completely upset Xu Youning’s plan.

  Xu Youning was already restless, and Yang Shanshan’s shouting instantly aroused her anger. She looked at Yang Shanshan sharply and said, “You’d better shut up.”


  Yang Shanshan had never been subject to such treatment before. How could she bear such a grievance? When she was about to argue back, she suddenly remembered that Mu Sijue was standing beside her.

  She thought that it was a great opportunity for Mu Sijue to see Xu Youning’s true colors.

  Yang Shanshan shook Mu Sijue’s arm and said coquettishly, “Brother Sijue, look at Xu Youning. She’s really ill-bred. I really don’t know how you stood by her before!”


  Xu Youning almost burst into laughter.

  She really wondered if Yang Shanshan was stupid.

  Yang Shanshan could speak ill of her, but why did she complain about Mu Sijue at the same time? Did she really like Mu Sijue?

  As expected, Mu Sijue did not respond at all. Yang Shanshan was embarrassed and blushed.

  Seeing that Yang Shanshan was so pitiful now, Xu Youning decided to respond to her-

  “Miss Yang,” Xu Youning said coldly, “Those who are really well-bred won’t ask a person how he could stand another person.”


  Yang Shanshan was stunned for a moment and then realized that she had just complained about Mu Sijue, so she hurriedly tried to make up for it. “Brother Sijue, I didn’t mean that. Xu Youning, how could you mislead Brother Sijue? How could you say that?”


  Xu Youning said calmly, “If you don’t like it, you can cover your ears or get out of here.”


  Yang Shanshan looked at Xu Youning aggrievedly, like an ignorant girl who had been bullied by hooligans. She seemed to have no strength to fight back and could only wait for her hero to save her.

  Of course, the hero she was waiting for was Mu Sijue.

  Xu Youning could not help thinking jeeringly that Mu Sijue was qualified to be considered as a hero, but wouldn’t such an artificial beauty as Yang Shanshan greatly affect the halo of the hero?

  According to her understanding of Mu Sijue, he would probably ignore Yang Shanshan.

  It turned out that Xu Youning was wrong.

  Mu Sijue held Yang Shanshan and looked at Xu Youning coldly. His voice was as cold as ice. “Xu Youning, enough!”


  Xu Youning had to admit that for a moment, her heart ached.

  However, she could not let Mu Sijue see what she was up to.

  She looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and said calmly, “Mu Sijue, let’s have a talk.”


  Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning patronizingly and coldly, as if he was looking at an ant. He said in a sarcastic tone, “What makes you think you can talk with me?”


  The implication was that Xu Youning was not qualified to talk with him at all.

  Xu Youning suddenly realized that she was nothing in Mu Sijue’s eyes.

  Mu Sijue mocked her in the same way she mocked Yang Shanshan.

  “Damn, even if he wants to stand up for his playmate from childhood, he doesn’t have to learn from her so quickly, does he?”


  Xu Youning pretended not to hear Mu Sijue’s words and asked, “Were you the one who submitted the evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering to the police?”


  Mu Sijue asked coldly, “So what?”


  “Withdraw it,” Xu Youning stared at Mu Sijue and said this one word at a time. “Your evidence is insufficient. Since it’s not enough to convict Kang Ruicheng, why waste your time?”


  “Why should I explain it to you?” Mu Sijue sneered. “Xu Youning, who do you think you are?”


  “Xu Youning, who do you think you are?”


  Xu Youning felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife, and whatever she wanted to say was stuck in her throat.

  Yes, for Mu Sijue, she was nothing. What qualifications did she have to talk with him?

  Mu Sijue glanced at Kang Ruicheng coldly and saw him telling Dongzi something while being surrounded by the police.

  The reason why Xu Youning asked him to withdraw the evidence was simply because of Kang Ruicheng.

  Did she care so much about Kang Ruicheng?

  Mu Sijue’s gaze became colder. He took a step forward to approach Xu Youning, and asked, “Is it painful?”


  “.……”


  Xu Youning was stunned for a moment and then realized that Mu Sijue was asking if she felt pain because of Kang Ruicheng’s situation.

  “D*mn, Mu Sijue must be so imaginative to come to such an absurd conclusion!”


  Seeing Xu Youning remain silent, Mu Sijue immediately understood that he was right.

  For some unknown reason, Mu Sijue flared up again. If he were not trying his best to restrain himself, he might have grabbed Xu Youning’s throat.

  Mu Sijue gritted his teeth and said in a distorted voice, “Xu Youning, when you took the medicine, have you ever thought that the child would also feel pain?”


  Xu Youning could feel pain because of Kang Ruicheng, but why couldn’t she feel pain because of their child?

  She attached great importance to Kang Ruicheng but abandoned their child?

  Xu Youning was shocked.

  If she had heard correctly, there was a hidden pain in Mu Sijue’s words.

  She felt pain, but she was also relieved.

  Since Mu Sijue cherished the child so much, he would definitely take good care of their child in the future.

  When she closed her eyes forever, she could rest assured.

  Mu Sijue looked at Xu Youning with a sneer. “You’re really unmoved.”


  Xu Youning seemed to have just realized it and asked as if nothing had happened, “Why should I be moved?”


  Mu Sijue’s gaze became cold, and he squeezed out two words through his teeth. “Very good.”


  At the same time, Kang Ruicheng, who was not far away, reminded Dongzi again, “Remember what I said and keep an eye on A Ning.”


  Dongzi nodded and said, “Brother Cheng, don’t worry. If Miss Xu’s return is really a conspiracy, I won’t let her escape when you are not around.”


  “In fact, she has a chance to escape now,” Kang Ruicheng said, “so go and call her back. Don’t let her stay with Mu Sijue.”


  “Yes!”


  Dongzi walked behind Xu Youning, put one hand into his clothes, and blocked the others’ sight of his clothes and Xu Youning’s body. He secretly pointed the gun at Xu Youning and said, “Miss Xu, Brother Cheng wants you to go back.”


  Xu Youning could feel Dongzi’s threat and secretly sneered.

  She knew what Kang Ruicheng was afraid of.

  Even if she wanted to escape now, she couldn’t.

  Mu Sijue hated her so much. If she suddenly offered to leave with Mu Sijue, he would only suspect that she had ulterior motives. In this way, not only would she fail to get Mu Sijue’s trust, but she would also be exposed in front of Kang Ruicheng.

  Even if she could explain it clearly and Mu Sijue was willing to trust her, she and Mu Sijue would not be able to escape.

  Kang Ruicheng came with his men. While she was explaining to him, Kang Ruicheng would definitely kill her.

  It was true that Kang Ruicheng had feelings for her, but once he found out that she came back for revenge, he would kill her at all costs.

  She was not important enough to make Kang Ruicheng lower his bottom line. In this world, only Mu Sijue would let her off over and over again.

  Unfortunately, she had lost Mu Sijue.

  “Miss Xu, Brother Cheng is waiting for you. Do you need me to repeat it?” Dongzi urged.

  Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with a complicated look in her eyes, and she seemed not to know what to say.

  Mu Sijue sneered and said, “Xu Youning, this is just the beginning.”


  Xu Youning knew what Mu Sijue meant. He was going to take revenge on Kang Ruicheng. This incident was just the beginning.

  In the future, something worse awaited Kang Ruicheng.

  Xu Youning wanted to persuade Mu Sijue to give up for the time being, but he would not believe her.

  What she needed to think about now was how to erase the traces of her investigation into Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering.

  Otherwise, when Kang Ruicheng found it out, no matter how eloquent she was, she could not hide the truth from him.

  At that time, endless torture awaited her, followed by her inevitable death.

  In the end, Xu Youning did not say anything else. She walked back and saw that Kang Ruicheng was now under police custody. Several people came up to surround her.

  Needless to ask, these people were sent by Kang Ruicheng to watch her and prevent her from escaping.

  Xu Youning pretended that she was not aware of this and just stared at Kang Ruicheng.

  Kang Ruicheng asked gloomily, “Why did you go to Mu Sijue?”


  “It’s all Mu Sijue’s fault,” Xu Youning said, “and if it weren’t for him, the police would not have come for you.”


  Dongzi gave Kang Ruicheng a discreet look, indicating that Xu Youning indeed went to get even with Mu Sijue.

  When he went over just now, he heard Xu Youning questioning Kang Ruicheng.

  Kang Ruicheng looked somewhat relieved. “A Ning, come here.”


  Xu Youning walked up to Kang Ruicheng, and the latter suddenly reached out and held her in his arms.

  She understood his gesture, put one hand into Kang Ruicheng’s clothes, pulled out his gun, and put it in her coat.

  At this moment, Xu Youning was reluctant to let go of Kang Ruicheng.

  Because it was her best chance to kill Kang Ruicheng.

  However, she could not.

  The police were just nearby. Not to mention that Kang Ruicheng had not yet been convicted, even if he had been sentenced to death, she could not kill him.

  Otherwise, she would be the next one to go to jail.

  What Xu Youning did not expect was that in Mu Sijue’s eyes, it just showed her attachment to Kang Ruicheng.

  Mu Sijue clearly remembered that Xu Youning did not hesitate to leave him.

  But now she seemed reluctant to part with Kang Ruicheng even if he was leaving her for only 24 hours. She even specially came to him and persuaded him to withdraw the evidence.

  Mu Sijue turned around and stepped out.

  Lu Boyan frowned and called, “Sijue?”


  Mu Sijue said coldly, “Let’s go the extra mile. Within 24 hours, the police should not be able to find more evidence to convict Kang Ruicheng. We can do them a favor.”


  For the first time, Lu Boyan had an impulse to complain about a person.

  Mu Sijue was not such a warm-hearted person at all.

  He just saw that Xu Youning was a little sad, so he wanted her to be even sadder.
