Du Ruoxin inwardly cursed.
As several men reached out to grab her, she quickly said, "Wait."
"Let's talk this through properly."
"I think this is a misunderstanding..."
She was stalling for time.
The moment she burst out of the dubbing company, she had sent a distress signal to Rong Jingshu, hoping he would quickly contact someone to come to her aid.
"Misunderstanding my foot!"
"You crippled our boss!"
"Du Ruoxin, if you don't cure our boss today, you're not leaving!"
The man said fiercely.
Du Ruoxin kicked his lower leg, then gave him a harder shove. The man lost his balance and fell sideways.
She seized the opportunity to get back on her feet.
"Oh, so you know martial arts." Everyone's eyes turned sinister. "Let's get her together!"
Just as Du Ruoxin prepared for a fierce battle, the wail of police sirens approached from nearby.
Several police officers, wielding stun batons, ran towards them. "Stop! No fighting!"
Seeing the police arrive, the men turned and fled.
The captain, who was Rong Jingshu's classmate, directed his subordinates to pursue the fleeing men before approaching Du Ruoxin. "Mrs. Rong, are you alright?"
Du Ruoxin shook her head. "I'm fine, thank you."
It was fortunate they arrived in time; otherwise, she would have been in serious trouble today.
Du Ruoxin limped towards the parking lot.
The captain stepped forward to stop her. "Did you sprain your ankle? I know a good traditional Chinese medicine clinic. I'll take you there."
Du Ruoxin didn't want to trouble him. "Thank you, but no."
The captain, with a touch of male chauvinism, persuaded her, "You can't drive like this."
"Let's go, it's very close."
"If you don't go, Jingshu will scold me to death and cut off our friendship!"
Unable to refuse the classmate's earnestness, Du Ruoxin went to the TCM clinic.
After taking off her socks, she discovered her ankle was swollen.
Fortunately, it was only a ligament injury. With a few medicinal applications and a few days of rest, she would be back on her feet.
Just as Du Ruoxin finished applying the doctor's specially made ancestral liniment for bruises and sprains, an unwelcome guest arrived at the clinic.
No, two of them.
Rong Jingyang stared at the woman's bandaged leg with a murderous aura.
Du Ruoxin completely ignored his terrifying, fist-ready demeanor and glared at Rong Jingshu, accusingly. *Didn't I tell you not to tell Rong Jingyang?*
Rong Jingshu bowed apologetically, then pulled his classmate aside to catch up.
He knew that saving a damsel in distress was the best way to win a woman's heart, so of course, he had to tell his elder brother.
Du Ruoxin snorted as Rong Jingshu slipped away like an eel.
She decided she wouldn't call him for help next time!
Standing up, she walked past Rong Jingyang, who stood there like a statue, and left without acknowledging him.
Rong Jingyang directly scooped her up in his arms. "Du Ruoxin, have you had enough of this drama?"
"It's none of your business!" She hit him hard. "Rong Jingyang, I detest you right now. Put me down."
"I don't know you."
"What I do has nothing to do with you."
No matter how much she hit or scolded him, he held onto her tightly.
Du Ruoxin's voice grew hoarse from shouting, and her hands ached from hitting, but the man showed no reaction.
It was infuriating.
She decided to ignore him completely, closing her eyes in frustration, her head bowed, determined to give him the cold shoulder.
Seeing that the woman had finally calmed down and stopped causing trouble, Rong Jingyang walked out of the clinic.
"Lead the way," he commanded coldly.
Rong Jingshu responded with an eager "Certainly!" and excitedly drove off with his classmate towards the office building.
How dare they bully his sister-in-law?
They must be tired of living!
"Police inspection, show me your IDs."
"Get down!"
A group of people, with imposing presence, stormed into the dubbing company.
The manager, who was enjoying a special service, was so startled by the mention of a police inspection that he didn't even have time to put on his pants. He leaped out the window like a dog paddling.
Mu Li had already ordered the premises to be sealed, ensuring not a single fly could escape, let alone a person.
He was apprehended.
The entire company, over a dozen people, men and women alike, all stood against the wall with their hands clasped behind their heads.
In the center of them, a sofa was placed.
Rong Jingyang sat with Du Ruoxin in his arms, his hawk-like eyes cold and terrifying, as if he intended to tear them apart.
The silent space was filled with a corrosive aura of death.
This was no ordinary police patrol; it felt like... revenge?
When someone recognized Du Ruoxin in Rong Jingyang's arms, they quickly confessed, "Sir, Miss Du came to our company to apply for a voice actor position. I didn't bully her."
"It was him!" the person pointed at the manager. "He wanted to take advantage of Miss Du, so Miss Du kicked him and ran."
The manager cursed, "Nonsense! I didn't do anything."
Then he pointed at the men who had chased Du Ruoxin. "It was them, they bullied Miss Du..."
"Manager, you told us to chase them... blah blah blah..."
The group argued incessantly, each blaming the other and shifting responsibility.
Rong Jingyang's brows furrowed slightly.
Mu Li swung his stun baton down hard on the men. "Shut up. Speak only when you're told to answer."
Everyone was beaten into a state of panic and dared not speak another word.
Rong Jingyang extracted useful information from the chaotic arguments, pinched the woman's chin, and his voice rose slightly, "Voice actor?"
Did he lack money for her?
She wasn't working as a translator, but came to the suburbs to do voice work?
Du Ruoxin tightly closed her eyes, refusing to communicate with him.
Rong Jingyang's dark eyes deepened, his fingertips lightly touching her eyes. "Why did you kick him?"
I won't tell you!
I told you my business is none of yours.
Rong Jingyang, I hope you never pay attention to me, never care about me, for the rest of your life.
The man's patience was wearing thin. Seeing her silence, he turned his head, his cold aura like a sharp sword. "Mu Li."
Mu Li responded, "Yes," and took the manager away.
A moment later, Mu Li emerged with a grim expression. "Sir, this is a company that specializes in recording adult novel voiceovers and adult film dubbing."
*Pfft*—
Hearing this, Du Ruoxin's face twitched uncontrollably.
No wonder everyone looked at her strangely the moment she entered the company, no wonder the manager wanted to personally train her...
It was fortunate she had made a decisive move and run fast!
Rong Jingyang's already dark face became even more terrifying, radiating killing intent. "You, you did the dubbing?"
Du Ruoxin dared to dub adult audio?
She—
Hadn't she been beaten enough last time?
Du Ruoxin heard the man's teeth-gnashing question and knew he was angry, and understood how chauvinistic Rong Jingyang was.
Heh.
Wasn't he cold and silent, with nothing to say to her just moments ago?
Du Ruoxin knew it was time for revenge.
She opened her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile, but her eyes were colder than his. "Yes, I did."
"Mr. Rong, do you feel ashamed?"
"But I just love voice acting."
"Are you so angry you want to tear this company apart?"
"It's fine, you tear it down. After this one, I'll find another. There are so many dubbing companies in A Country, I don't believe you can tear them all down."
From the crowd, Rong Jingshu gasped.
It was like a cavity drilled by a dentist, then filled with the sweet, sour pain of sugar.
This was killing him!
Sister-in-law, can you speak human language!
His brother was a lion ready to explode at any moment, capable of drawing blood when enraged.
Mu Li, who also felt a sense of impending doom, thought, *Madam is really fanning the flames—this is going to cause bloodshed!*
