But Lin Zi at this moment had completely lost control. No matter how unskilled he was, the touch ignited her, making her moan softly and flirtatiously. Those seductive moans, fueled by the drug's eff...She immediately bristled, without hesitation, and unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse at Ruan Chengyang.

This kid is ruthless and somewhat paranoid. He's not mentally sound either. The fact that he ran away from home when he was little, preferring to starve outside rather than return, shows his crazy determination. Knowing this, I know he could absolutely say it and do it: killing a Li Lanqiu would be like dissecting an animal for him.

How can this be!

She finally managed to guide him back to being a normal person, and now he's turning around and telling her he's going to kill someone for her. The way he says it, so light and airy, is just infuriating. It's murder for revenge, do you understand Wrong! It's fundamentally wrong to kill anyone.

After a tirade of insults, she threatened viciously.

"If you ever dare to have murderous thoughts again, I won't recognize you as my son."

Ruan Chengyang was a little flustered, hastily agreeing. "Okay, okay, I agree to everything, stepmother, please don't abandon me!"

With a pathetic tone, like a young animal about to be abandoned and starting to panic, where is the slightest trace of the aura of a vampire that was there before!

Lin Meng lectured him for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone. She also promised to video call him as soon as Ruan Chengyang got home. That boy was being petty and wanted to see her in person, almost as if he feared Rong Ling would abuse her.

Ruan Chengyang, like a flying arrow, rushed back home. After seeing Lin Meng was safe and sound, he felt relieved. He hugged a big white teddy bear, looking at her with innocent, half-closed eyes like a big cat. A little while later, he just sat there, snoozing peacefully, drool dripping onto the teddy bear.

Xiao Youyou and Xiao Haohuo saw each other, covering their mouths and giggling. This didn't wake him up. It seems that his studies at medical school are really very busy. However, he is busy which shows that he learns a lot and is entrusted with important responsibilities. This makes Lin Meng feel comforted.

He didn't turn off the video either, just left it playing. The three of them interacted there, while that motherless child was sleeping soundly over there. These three kids actually brought a lot of vibrancy to this otherwise dull day, and made Lin Meng feel a little more relaxed.

Little Mumu is still missing, which weighs heavily on everyone's hearts. Time passed, one day after another, and Rongman didn't come to cause trouble again, not even a phone call. But she understood that this was all because Rongling had asked Uncle Zun to stop her. On Rongman's side, she estimated that things were getting worse and worse. As mothers themselves, they could put themselves in each other's shoes; she could imagine the scene. But she didn't ask Rongling about what was going on with Rongman, because it would be pointless, and more importantly, it would only make her feel uncomfortable.

Rong Ling did apologize to her, just on the night Rong Man came to make trouble for her. He returned home after midnight and still pulled her out of bed, dragging her to the kitchen. After pushing her onto a chair, he only said one thing.

"I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

He started clumsily knocking things over without a word.

Finally, a steaming bowl of noodles was placed in front of her. On the white noodles lay a poached egg, three or four sprigs of bright green bok choy, and some meat sauce.

He said, “Back when I was still in the army, if someone had wronged another, you’d make them a bowl of noodles. If they ate it, then that matter would be over. Honey, please eat this bowl of noodles.”

He looked utterly exhausted. It's understandable, considering he kept her up so late last night. According to the little one, he got up at a set time and went straight to work, then when Little MuMu had an accident, he immediately dove into finding her without stopping until now. I estimate he hasn't even had a break.

But, wasn't he a special forces soldier before There's no reason he should be showing signs of fatigue after just one tiring day, his eyes even looking strained and dazed like they were wearing sleep clothes. Humph, is he trying to play the victim on her! When he was tossing her around in bed before, he wasn't short on fans, there were even records of him doing it for several days straight!

Though she inwardly grumbled, she nonetheless picked up her chopsticks and silently began to eat.

Why would she mistreat herself He made it for her, so she should eat it. Besides, she was a little hungry. As for this matter, it's not over! Just wait, she'll make him pay.

And he was instantly overjoyed, and his eyes also brightened right away.

Just keep pretending, keep pretending, keep pretending!

She hummed to herself.

After finishing her meal, she inquired about MuMu's affairs. He seemed to have let out a breath of relief and smiled wryly.

"I'm really afraid you'll get mad at Manjie!"

Then, the expression turned grave as he spoke about today's search results.

As there were no results, they all went to sleep. They have to get up early tomorrow and continue the fight.

On the third day after Xiaomumu's disappearance, near noon, news of her came. Lin Meng had hit the nail on the head by making the right plea for help initially. It was an amateur photographer who went to the suburbs to gather materials and discovered Xiaomumu's figure. Then, silently, he passed on the news. Lin Meng immediately relayed this information to Rong Ling. After being surprised once again by the strength displayed by Mu Xi powder, Rong Ling didn't say much, organized a good team of people, and quietly went to rescue her.

Everything went smoothly. After the child was rescued, besides being malnourished and looking haggard, the biggest injury was a cut on his arm. However, the kidnappers were not too cruel. The wound on his arm had been disinfected with iodine and bandaged with clean gauze. It seems that the blood that fell on the thief's car was from the scratch on his arm.

This is the most reassuring minor injury!

Little MuMu didn't react much when she first saw the strangers. But when Rong Ling appeared before her, she immediately burst into tears. After being held by Rong Ling, she clung tightly to his neck and wouldn't let go. When the police controlled the kidnapper and signaled that Rong Man and her husband Chi ShaoZheng could approach safely, Little MuMu was transferred into Rong Man's arms. She continued to hold onto her mother's neck and cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered these days and the tears she had been holding back.

At this moment, even though Chi Shao Zheng was a man of great stature, he couldn't help but redden his eyes, shedding tears, and tightly embraced his wife and daughter.

A group of people quickly boarded the ambulance that came with the police. Little Mumumu was immediately examined. On the other hand, Chi Shaozheng slightly restrained his excitement and thanked Rong Ling, but Rong Ling immediately replied.

This is not my achievement, it's Mengmeng's. She asked many friends for help, that's how she was able to get Mumu back so quickly. These days, she has put in a lot of effort for Mumu.

As a man who had been in the business world for years, Chi Shao Zheng was naturally rational. After hearing this, he was slightly surprised before quickly responding.

"At that moment, I really had to thank her."

Rong Man's face, however, was a complex mix of emotions for a moment. She didn't say anything.

Xiao Mumumu's final check-up results showed no major issues. The wound on her arm wasn't too deep and, because it was disinfected promptly, it is already healing. There's no need for stitches. After the wound heals, if a scar remains, it should be very faint. If special scar removal cream is used promptly, it should recover as good as new.

Such a result truly let the Rong Man family breathe a sigh of relief. The two spouses surrounded their little girl, taking turns coaxing and comforting her. The little girl had returned to her family, so she recovered her innocent demeanor. She began crying and acting spoiled, demanding affection while intermittently telling her parents about her ordeal of being locked up for three days.

It seems those people really want her to recreate the scene of playing chess with Rong Ling at his home that day. But she truly has forgotten a lot, no matter how hard she tries, she just can't remember! How could she possibly play for them

They threatened her, frightened her, sometimes coaxed her and tricked her, even withholding food from her, hoping she would comply. But she couldn't remember, she simply couldn't remember anything. So the standoff continued.

The little girl was also strong, inheriting the bloodline of Uncle Rong San. Even when faced with the bandits' sometimes vicious threats, she bit her lip and didn't cry. If this were to happen to another four-year-old, they would probably have cried until their noses ran dry, their eyes swollen, and their voices hoarse.

The little boy's arm wound wasn't intentionally inflicted by the kidnappers. When they tried to change her clothes to better conceal her whereabouts, the little girl resisted. She struggled against them, not wanting to take off her clothes. During this struggle, a kidnapper's spiked ring accidentally scratched her arm, causing it to bleed.

All in all, Xiaomumu's arrest was ultimately uneventful.

The mastermind behind this, judging by their actions, doesn't seem to be entirely heartless. But Chi Shaozheng and Rong Man, as a couple, must surely hate this person deeply. Even if nothing can be found right now, the kidnappers only said they received money from a stranger and will send the results to a specified email address. They don't know who the other party is. Even so, someone would crave the outcome of the chessboard so much... it couldn't be anyone but those who want to suppress Rong Sanbo and the Rong family—the Liu family, Jiang family, and others.

"This debt must be collected!"

This menacing tone, however, wasn't uttered by the usual fearless, bold and assertive Rong Man, but by the seemingly mild-mannered, gentle and approachable scholar-merchant Chi Shao Zheng!

Someone who can navigate this shopping mall freely wouldn't be as harmless as they appear! If you anger them, even a lamb could turn into a wolf in an instant!

Rong Ling wouldn't interfere, and he wouldn't be foolish enough to do so. He tolerated the Jiang family for Lin Meng's sake. But if others wanted to target the Jiang family, he wouldn't care.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately took out his phone and called Lin Meng back, reporting to her that Mu Mu was safe. On the phone, Lin Meng's voice was filled with joy.

"That's wonderful."

Rong Ling also smiled. It's great that the child was found safe and sound, isn't it

“I'll pass for now. You take care of MuMu over there, okay”

Rong Ling felt it was okay. The child had just been found, and as parents, they cherished their child dearly at this moment. There wasn't time for anyone else to insert themselves. Moreover, Rong Man had been so rude to Lin Meng before, but now that the child had been found with Lin Meng's help, she should be given time to process everything and figure out how to face Lin Meng in the future. Based on his understanding of Rong Man, he estimated that by tomorrow when he brought Meng Meng over, there wouldn't be much animosity between her and Meng Meng anymore.

Tell that woman to take a good rest. These past few days, she's put just as much effort into finding Mu Mu as I have.

I'll be back later, I still have some things to take care of here.

On MuMu's side, and on the side of the captured kidnapper, both require him to put in some effort.

"Hmm." She replied softly and hung up the phone.

At this time, Rong Ling, who had a touch of joy in her heart, didn't know that Lin Meng had actually made a decision. Since Xiao MuMu had been found safely by Ping An, there was nothing left for her to do. She could let go of her worries and leave.

"She just couldn't take it anymore, she had to do something!"

Otherwise, that man would really think she's easy to fool!

Xiao tidied up and only brought one set of clothes for herself and Youyou. She put Xiao Haohuo's clothes and toys in a small bag, then took the two children out. Before leaving, she greeted Zunshu and said that she was taking Haohuo to Jiang Changhao's place.

This is normal, after all, Haohao has a proper father, so usually on weekends or holidays, or any day he's free, she will take Haohao back to her own home. Sometimes, Haohao will come back that night, sometimes Haohao won't come back and stays at his own home for a day or two before returning.

Uncle Zun didn't think much of it, just said "understood," and watched Lin Meng walk away with a small backpack belonging to Xiao Haohuo. She held both children by the hand.

When he returned, although Rong Ling was somewhat tired, he still carried a hint of excitement. However, upon finding his wife and children were absent, a sense of disappointment washed over him. He had deliberately worked hard to finish his tasks, delegating what he could to his subordinates, and hurried back early to spend time with her. He even hoped that she would notice his intentions and show a little happiness, but who knew that she had taken the two children to Jiang Changhao's place and hadn't returned yet.

He was truly led on a wild goose chase!

But, false joy is truly too light. The truly cruel thing is still waiting for him!

He, who had intended to go back home for a bath, naturally discovered the paper stuck on his wardrobe. The familiar handwriting immediately drew him over to take a look.

Then his heart, instantly turned cold.

The whole person froze in place, as if their soul had suddenly vanished. Their slightly pale face seemed to have been drained of all blood in an instant!

Buzz buzz buzz buzz――

A roaring sound seemed to be in his ears, yet his mind was a blank. He saw words before his eyes, but they appeared as a blurry mass. His focus was gone. He reached out to grab the paper, wanting to confirm its reality, but somehow, his hand trembled, as if he had no strength at all; it felt as if what lay before him wasn't a simple sticky note, but a monstrous creature that could devour him!

His hands trembled like that, the roaring in his ears remained, and his mind was still a blank emptiness!

This situation lasted for a long time, far beyond his previous records! He had never been like this even when facing great danger!

But he would never allow himself to be beaten down by weakness, his resolve was unbreakable. So, with a tightening of his sharp brows, a set of his determined jawline, and a firm press of his thin lips, the trembling hand finally stopped shaking and transformed into a fist, launching itself forward with a ferocious attack, striking the wooden wardrobe in one swift motion.

"Bang!"

What a dull sound!

Even the sturdiest wooden cabinet couldn't withstand this ferocious punch. Cracks, like a spiderweb, spread from beneath his fist. Accompanying them was a trickle of crimson blood, slowly creeping along those fissures.

In a short while, the bloodstain grew larger.

Ke Rong was like he didn't see, or feel the pain at all. He just glared with his eyes, fiercely and menacingly, at the piece of paper!naked body, enveloped in a luxurious silk quilt, rolled and shifted with each turn, savoring the subtle pleasure. She awoke to the ringtone set by Rong Ling on her phone. She lay in bed for several mi...
