"Alright," Du Ruoxin agreed.
That home...
And Daddy, second brother, third brother, she would return.
The car drove towards Kristino's villa in E City. However, as the business car reached the entrance, it was stopped by a group of bodyguards in black.
What was going on?
Du Ruoxin looked out the window.
"Madam, we're here to pick you up," Mu Li approached the car window and said respectfully.
Du Ruoxin: "?!?!?"
She hadn't responded to Rong Jingyang, and he had actually found her here?
Indeed, this was E City territory. Was there anything Rong Jingyang wanted to know that he couldn't find out?
But before Du Ruoxin could speak, Kristino stepped past her and out of the car, "Looking for death!"
Wanting to take Xin'er away in front of him?
[Rong Jingyang, although this is E City territory in Country A, it doesn't mean I did nothing before stepping onto this land!]
With a command, the men in black on both sides began a brawl.
Du Ruoxin: "..."
A bunch of savages! Resorting to force to solve problems at the slightest provocation!
Soon, the fight at the entrance attracted a crowd of onlookers. Some pointed and gossiped, some recorded videos, and some prepared to post them on Douyin.
Was this a movie shoot?
The scene was so explosive and bloody, it made people's blood boil. Damn!
But why were there no cameras or film crew?
The intense fight, from the entrance to the road, not only drew more and more comments but also caused traffic congestion.
Du Ruoxin felt a headache coming on.
When two easily agitated and ferocious lions meet, would it be such a scene of fierce combat?
"Grace, hold Doudou for me."
Placing her daughter in Grace's arms, Du Ruoxin got out of the car.
"Stop fighting!" she ran towards Mu Li and Kristino, who were fighting, "Stop!"
"Kristino, ah—"
Once again, Du Ruoxin was caught in the crossfire. Trying to stop them from fighting, she attempted to grab Kristino's arm but was flung away by him.
With a "thump," she fell heavily to the ground, dizzy and with her arm nearly dislocated.
"Xin'er!" Kristino finally stopped fighting but consequently took a punch from Mu Li.
The fist, like a shot put, landed squarely on Kristino's face, making his muscles tremble and his bones nearly dislocate.
Pfft—
Fresh blood oozed from his lips, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, refusing to spit.
Staggering to Du Ruoxin's side, he helped her up and asked with concern, "Are you hurt? Does it hurt?"
It hurt!
Her skin was broken, and the piercing pain made Du Ruoxin's eyes water.
But she didn't have time to examine her wound. She suddenly jumped in front of Kristino, blocking an incoming fist, "Mu Li, how dare you!"
Mu Li certainly wouldn't dare to hit Du Ruoxin. He stopped his hand just a few centimeters away from her.
Bowing his fist, he said, "Madam, please don't make things difficult for me."
Today, no matter what, he had to take her.
Du Ruoxin became furious, roaring, "I'm not going! Tell Rong Jingyang, I'm not going!"
Originally, she felt guilty towards him.
But Rong Jingyang, like her elder brother, resorting to brute force to achieve his goals infuriated Du Ruoxin.
Was one Kristino not enough?
Did he have to bring another one?
Rong Jingyang's unreasonable iron fist enraged Du Ruoxin.
She hated such power!
Hated such coercion!
"Did you hear that? Scram!" The woman's words pleased Kristino. He put his arm around Du Ruoxin's waist and looked at Mu Li with a sinister grin.
If he couldn't take the person, Mu Li couldn't complete his mission. His execution rate had always been over 100%.
This time would be no exception.
Mu Li took out his phone and handed it to Du Ruoxin, "Madam, if you don't come with me, they will dig up Old Madam Du's grave."
On the screen, in the dark surroundings, several cars were simultaneously shining their high beams. A group of people, holding hoes, shovels, and other tools, stood beneath an excavator.
And next to the excavator was a tomb.
"No—"
Du Ruoxin's eyes darkened when she recognized the graveyard, and she almost fainted.
[Rong Jingyang, you are despicable! Shameless! Bastard!]
[That's my mother's grave!]
[You dare to dig it, try me!]
Over the years, to prevent Kristino from finding her, Du Ruoxin had casually bought an empty plot and placed her mother's tombstone on it, deceiving Rong Jingyang and the Rong family into believing it was her mother's grave.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, she would bring Rong Jingyang and Doudou to the empty grave to pay respects and burn incense.
Showing filial piety to her deceased mother.
She had never told Rong Jingyang that the tombstone was fake. How had Rong Jingyang found the real one?
"Stop!"
"Don't dig!"
Du Ruoxin tried to snatch the phone, but Mu Li dodged her.
At that moment, a stretched Lincoln business car drove over and stopped in the middle of the road.
Mu Li opened the rear passenger door and said, "Madam, please."
Du Ruoxin's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and her whole body trembled with anger. She—
Kristino's arm around Du Ruoxin did not loosen at all; instead, it tightened like an iron clamp, pinning her firmly to him.
"He wouldn't dare," Kristino whispered in her ear, "Rong Jingyang wouldn't dare."
[Dig it.]
[Rong Jingyang, if you dig up the grave, Xin'er will hate you to death and will never forgive you.]
Kristino watched the live stream with a hint of glee, even secretly cheering Rong Jingyang on.
[Go for it!]
[If you don't, you're not a man!]
Seeing that Madam still refused to go with him, Mu Li turned the screen and made a gesture.
Receiving the command, the excavator began to work.
The "rumbling" sound reached Du Ruoxin's ears through the loudspeaker.
She broke down, "No! Don't—"
"I'll go with you!"
Don't dig!
Du Ruoxin stomped hard on Kristino's foot, broke free from him, and quickly got into the Lincoln.
"Xin'er!" Kristino reached out to grab her, but was pushed back by a sweeping leg from Mu Li.
This time, Kristino was truly enraged.
He activated the anesthetic hidden in his ring and shot it at Mu Li.
Mu Li dodged several attacks consecutively, but ultimately, he couldn't match Kristino's lightning-fast movements.
"Mmm—"
With a muffled groan, he collapsed.
But this delay allowed the Lincoln business car, carrying Du Ruoxin, Grace, and Doudou, to disappear down the road.
Kristino instinctively started to chase after them, but police officers holding batons and wearing riot gear arrived.
"Don't move!"
"Get down!"
Kristino knew he couldn't leave. The hand that had been gripping the door handle stopped abruptly.
"Bang—"
Unable to vent his anger, he kicked a tire, causing it to burst.
[Rong Jingyang, you're something!]
[You've lost your legs and you're still restless, do you want to lose your hands too?]
Du Ruoxin sat in the Lincoln, her eyes glowing red, like a bewitching Lycoris in the darkness, exuding a strong killing intent.
"Sister Xin?" Grace called out cautiously.
Du Ruoxin looked terrifying like this. She hadn't seen her so angry in many years.
Du Ruoxin took deep breaths, trying to avoid becoming a puppet of her emotions.
However—
No matter how she tried to regulate herself, the spark of anger, like a single spark, ignited all her reason.
Seeing she wasn't getting any better, Grace slowly moved towards her with Doudou.
Holding Du Ruoxin's cold hand, Grace asked, "What happened? Why did Kristino fight with Rong Jingyang's men?"
Even with the thunderous rage within her, Du Ruoxin couldn't vent it on her good friend.
Closing her eyes, she leaned back in her seat and said stiffly, "It's nothing. You take care of Doudou for me. I'm going to see Rong Jingyang."
