"Don't move!"
"Little Guo!"
"No!"
"Dad!"
"Don’t come close!" Wang Linhua had shoved Kiki away and glared at Rong Jian and the rest. "Nobody can stop me today!"
"Dad!"
"You stay away too!" he yelled at Kiki. "Today, I'll end things with the Zhao Family!"
"Dad, don't do it…"
"Hua, listen to me!" Due to his excessive movements, his injured hand bled even more and was scary to look at, especially for Kiki, who had been staring at his hand and crying nonstop.
Feeling pained and scared, Nie Xiaoxiang had fainted upon hearing Wang Linhua's declaration. Mu Yu and Liu Xiaofan were busy performing first aid on her.
"He's just an innocent child! He's got nothing to do with this!" Rong Jian stared angrily at Wang Linhua, who was ready to harm his hostage.
"Innocent child?" Wang Linhua sneered. "What about Hua? Isn't she an innocent child too? What right
“Chief Rong, look out!” When everyone screamed in unison, Rong Jian stood frozen on the ground, shaken by the fact that he’d killed Luo Mingan. He had only wanted to prevent Luo Mingan from hurting Little Guo and did not intend to take his life.Rong Jian found Zhao Yongli and Sun Meilan utterly despicable, and he had much sympathy for the father and daughter of the Luo Family. However, he was a police officer who could only educate the public to protect themselves with the help of the law, and he could not allow for criminal activities. Moreover, the hostage whom Luo Mingan planned to hurt was an innocent four-year-old. He fired the shot out of desperation.Seeing that the sharp blade in Kiki’s hand was about to pierce into Rong Jian’s chest, Mu Yu, who was the nearest to him, flung herself on him.“Yu!”A loud gunshot and a scream were heard. The bullet hit Kiki’s leg, and she promptly fell onto the ground about a meter away from
“What? Luo Mingan was not the murderer? H-How is that possible?” Liu Xiaofan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “But he admitted to it! He even turned in the murder weapons!”Mu Yu wiped away her tears and explained, “There’s no fingerprints on the blade, so there’s a possibility that it’s not the weapon.”“He had a very strong anti-reconnaissance ability. He would have wiped away the fingerprints when he got back from the murder. Anyway, the murder weapon he handed in was shaped similarly like the one used at the scene. If he was not the murderer, how could he have submitted a similar murder weapon? If he was not the murderer, why would he admit to it? He’d get the death sentence for it!” Liu Xiaofan was puzzled.Mu Yu only replied with a heavy sigh as she looked at her colleagues moving away Luo Mingan and Kiki’s bodies through teary eyes. She really had no mood to explain to Liu Xiaofan.Sensing her sadness, Qin Jinhuan hugged her gen
“Who was that? Mu Yu immediately asked. “Do you remember Linda? She’s Kiki’s good friend.”“Yes! I remember Kiki had been staying at her home recently.”“Yes. She’s in a hurry to meet me probably because she has something to tell me about Kiki,” Rong Jian responded while heading toward the entrance of the rooftop. Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan immediately followed up.“Yu, it’s almost dawn. Just head home with Huan and rest,” Rong Jian suggested when they entered the elevator.“I want to…”“You need rest!” Qin Jinhuan rudely cut her off. “Huan also needs to work in the morning.” Rong Jian helped to persuade her, but instead she suggested, “Huan, why don’t you go home? Chief Rong and I…”“No!” Qin Jinhuan gripped her hand tightly and said firmly without any room for discussion. “Yu, Linda has stated that she only wanted to see me. Even if you follow me back, you cannot meet
“She told us that if something happened to her, we should hand this to you.” Tears streamed down Linda’s face.“Stop crying. Your makeup is going to be ruined, and you’ll look ugly.” Abby wanted to wipe away Linda’s tears but she lifted her hand toward herself instead to wipe away her own tears.“I can’t hold it back too,” Eve declared and promptly burst into tears. Her make-up was instantly running, looking like a mess.“What’s the point of holding back?” Jin was sobbing loudly. “Who cares if we look ugly? There are no customers around here.”“But Chief Rong is here!” Abby hid her face behind her hands and retorted between sniffles.“Chief Rong is not a customer. It doesn’t matter if he sees us like this.” Even though Jin sounded unbothered, she followed Abby and hid her face while carefully wiping away her tears.“Who knows one day Chief Rong would visit Camphor Forest?”Rong Jian, who was d
“Yihan? Why are you here?” Astonished, Mu Yu stared at Xin Yihan who had appeared behind her.“I’m here to get breakfast.” He looked at her with a smile. But his house was a twenty-minute drive from the breakfast place.“Xiaotian loves the custard bun and red date soy milk from here. Are you here to buy breakfast for Young Master Qin?” Xin Yihan saw her taking the two portions of exceptionally hearty breakfast, and he gave her a look with conflicted emotions.“No, no, I’m buying for my colleagues.” Knowing that Xin Yihan was concerned about her, she was worried that she’d give off a wrong expression of mistreatment by the Qin Family. Xin Yihan checked his watch and asked doubtfully, “Are you going to work this early?”“I’m not going to work. It happened that some acquaintances of mine passed away. Their burial is today and I planned to pay a visit. I’m bringing breakfast for my colleagues on the way,” Mu Yu glossed over the details
Mu Yu stared at the two in shock. “Do you know each other?”Xin Yihan took a few glances at Eve and shook his head in the end. “I don’t recall. Did you mistake me for someone else?”“No, cute guy, we…”“That’s enough! How could you even have the mood to chat up guys?” Linda irritatedly shut Eve down. Eve shrugged and grinned at Xin Yihan before she hurriedly rejoined the queue of people.Looking at the group, Mu Yu hurriedly whispered to Xin Yihan, “Yihan, you should head home now. I will ride my colleague’s car later.”“I don’t have anything in the morning. I will head in and pay my respect to the deceased. After hearing their story, I feel sorry for them.”Since Xin Yihan looked touched, Mu Yu did not object to his participation. She nodded and ran up to the others with him. Everyone proceeded to the grave plot that was allocated for Luo Mingan and Kiki. Under the coordination between Rong Jian and his m
The instant Xin Yihan let go of Mu Yu, she pushed him away in panic as well and immediately turned around to see Qin Jinhuan standing at three to four meters away from them with a long face. She blushed guiltily as if she had done something wrong and smacked her lips in helplessness.“H-Huan? Why are you here?”“Young Master Qin. What a coincidence.” Xin Yihan looked unnatural as well. He greeted the man with a dry laugh while secretly feeling frustrated at his inappropriate action just now.“It’s not a coincidence. I’m specifically here to fetch my wife.” Qin Jinhuan approached them with a dry smile and put his arms around Mu Yu’s shoulder as if he was declaring his territory. However, his voice was softer when he addressed her, “Are you feeling cold?”Am I cold? I am drenched in cold sweat!Of course, Mu Yu dared not speak out loud. She grinned and explained, “Huan, Yihan and I…” She didn’t want him to misunderstand.
On the back passenger seat, there was only Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan. She didn’t even have to think to know that the hand was Qin Jinhuan’s.At that moment, she felt her mind exploding. What would he think of her if he found out that she was reading the obscene text from Jiang Wenwen?No! I definitely cannot allow him to find out! If not, I’ll be embarrassed to death.Seeing that he had picked her phone up from the carpet, she didn't have the time to think before grabbing it back from him. She swiftly avoided his gaze, closed the chatbox, exited the WeChat app, and shoved her phone back into her pocket. Her moves flowed naturally, and it only took her three seconds before she flashed an exaggerated smile at him. His hand froze in mid-air, and he looked taken aback.“I was chatting with Wenwen.” She grinned and changed the topic. “Did you call me just now?”Although her phone was lit up when it fell onto the carpet, it was
