Tan Xue looked at Jiang Nuan, her eyes sharp, and felt utterly terrified.
Jiang Nuan’s feet were bleeding, but she paid no mind to her own wounds.
Mu Jiuchen watched her slender back, biting his lip tightly. Carrying their son, he followed Jiang Nuan. This was the first time he had seen a woman so desperate for revenge that she disregarded her own life.
Beautiful!
Cold!
Reckless!
“What do you want to do?” Tan Xue glared at Jiang Nuan, who seemed ready to die, a fear she had never experienced before gripping her heart.
Jiang Nuan replied, “Kill you!”
Tan Xue found it somewhat amusing. “Jiang Nuan, killing people is illegal.” She didn’t dare to act, and Tan Xue, with her long-held sense of superiority, still looked at Jiang Nuan arrogantly.
“You’ve done illegal things, and I just want to make you wish you were dead.” Jiang Nuan spoke each word deliberately, her tone utterly chilling.
This reminded Tan Xue of the time Jiang Nuan had poured health soup directly onto her head, and her heart began to falter.
This woman was a lunatic, capable of anything.
As soon as Tan Xue had this thought, her neck was suddenly seized by a slender hand.
She considered herself someone who had weathered many storms, but seeing Jiang Nuan’s terrifying killing intent, she couldn’t help but feel afraid.
“You ruined my son’s voice, wanting him to never sing again, wanting his dreams shattered. What a malicious thought.” Jiang Nuan’s angry voice was filled with pain.
Her children were her bottom line. Hurting her children was like hurting her life.
“Crack…”
Tan Xue’s throat was crushed. The intense pain left her unable to even whimper.
“Bang…” Jiang Nuan unceremoniously kicked Tan Xue away.
“Bang…” The moment she hit the ground, Tan Xue felt her internal organs shift. The pain was so intense she couldn’t catch her breath.
“Xiao Jian Nian…” Tan Xue’s voice was hoarse, as if burned, as she spoke.
“My voice…” Tan Xue looked at Jiang Nuan in terror.
Jiang Nuan lowered her head slightly, her eyelids lifting as she looked at Tan Xue. She smiled, a strange, sinister smile, the kind born from seeing light after emerging from hell. “My Kuobao’s vocal cords will recover tomorrow. As for you, you’ll spend your life in prison with that awful voice of yours.”
Tan Xue’s pupils contracted sharply. Seeing the police approaching in the distance, she froze, unable to believe she had failed like this.
Impossible, she wouldn’t fail.
How could she, who was on the verge of victory, possibly fail?
Tan Xue could not accept this fact.
“Jiang Nuan, you… will never know who you are?” Tan Xue looked at Jiang Nuan with a malicious smile.
Yes, in this aspect, she had still won.
“Heh heh…” Jiang Nuan gave a cool, indifferent laugh, showing no surprise at Tan Xue’s words.
“Then take this secret to your grave. I am who I am, and the truth will come out one day.” Jiang Nuan disdained her information.
People like her would never speak a single true word.
“What… do you mean?” Tan Xue was terrified. The severe pain caused her to break out in a sweat that soaked her entire body. Looking at Jiang Nuan’s expression, she felt a sense of defeat once more.
“Tan Xue, do you think you’re so great? Do you believe you’ve thought of every possibility? You used Chairman Mu’s situation to divert everyone’s attention and took advantage of it to capture my son.”
“But in the end, you still failed. Your high spirits have ultimately led you to hell.”
“As for who I am, that will be discovered soon.”
“We’ve already found out that you and Jiang Shuo had contact years ago.”
“Now, take your last shred of dignity and go to prison to reminisce about your glorious life.”
“Also, Mu Jiuchen has triplets. You will never get what you want in your lifetime.” Jiang Nuan’s final words shattered Tan Xue’s last hope.
How could this be?!
How could Mu Jiuchen be so lucky!
The police were already approaching.
Mu Yunyun saw this and asked tearfully, “Mom, tell me, who am I?”
Tan Xue was already lost in the despair of her failed life and did not hear Mu Yunyun’s words.
Until she was taken away by the police, Tan Xue did not utter another word.
Yao Lu and the bodyguards were also taken away.
The world suddenly became quiet.
Just as Mu Jiuchen was about to take Jiang Nuan to have her wounds dressed, he heard Mu Yunyun’s crying.
“Wuwuwu…” Mu Yunyun squatted on the ground, weeping.
Mu Jiuchen walked over and looked at her. “Yunyun, don’t cry. Who you are, you’ll know one day.”
She was not Tan Xue’s daughter; this surprised him as well. He remembered that Tan Xue had been pregnant back then.
Mu Yunyun stopped crying and looked up at Mu Jiuchen, her heart aching uncontrollably. “Big Brother, I did a paternity test. She is not my birth mother.”
Jiang Nuan looked at her thoughtfully. “Miss Mu, you don’t have to be too sad. Just like you, I was also a prey for Tan Xue and them. However, we have already started investigating this matter. If there’s any news, I will tell you.”
“Really?” Mu Yunyun looked at Jiang Nuan. Did she have the same experience as him?
“Yes!” Jiang Nuan simply nodded without saying more.
“Oh dear! My back!” The old man walked out, limping.
“Grandpa, how are you?”
Mu Jiuchen looked at him with concern.
“My back feels like it’s going to break.” The old man looked at Jiang Yi Kuo in his arms, his heart filled with affection. He loved Mu Jiuchen’s son dearly, too.
“Quick, quick, quick, what are you standing around for? Hurry and take Xiao Kuo and Nuan Nuan inside.”
Mu Jiuchen nodded.
Once Jiang Nuan relaxed, her slender body swayed precariously.
“Nuan Nuan.” Mu Jiuchen reached out with his other hand to support Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan’s vision blurred, and Mu Jiuchen’s handsome face turned into countless phantoms.
“How are you?” Mu Yunyun supported Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan shook her head slightly. Her wound had been aggravated during her confrontation with the bodyguards.
Mu Jiuchen took them back to his residence.
The manor villa was very large, and he had his own private quarters.
Adjacent to the main house, the hall was decorated in a gray and white style, unique and luxuriously simple.
“When will Xiao Kuo wake up?” Seeing his great-grandson, the old man’s back no longer hurt, only his face was filled with worry.
Mu Jiuchen looked at Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan replied, “He will wake up tomorrow. He was poisoned, and after he wakes up tomorrow, he will need to be taken to the hospital for surgery.”
Mu Jiuchen nodded. “Nuan Nuan, come to my room. I’ll help you bandage your wounds.”
Jiang Nuan didn’t put on a brave front this time and followed Mu Jiuchen to his room.
Mu Jiuchen’s room was on the second floor. It was very large and also decorated in a gray and white style. Mu Jiuchen carefully placed his son on the bed, tucking him in.
Jiang Nuan sat on a nearby sofa, the pain making her uncomfortable, her back bleeding profusely.
She dry-swallowed a painkiller, and after a few minutes of rest, the sharp pain gradually subsided.
Mu Jiuchen took out a medical kit and looked at the sweat on her face, seeing her so weak she was about to faint. “Nuan Nuan, I’ll treat your wounds.” His voice was soft like flowing water.
Jiang Nuan nodded. Having experienced it once, she was less squeamish.
With her permission, Mu Jiuchen carefully began to unbutton her front.
