Chapter 798 She Will Make A Bet in This Round

In the Kang family’s old residence.

“What?” Kang Ruicheng held the corner of the table and his knuckles whitened until it looked as if the bones were about to break through his skin. “Say it again!”

Two of his men had come back, still in their blue uniforms.

They told Kang Ruicheng in trembling voices, “Just when the security guard finally allowed us in, Mu Sijue and Shen Yuechuan came back with their men. We failed to sneak into Shen Yuechuan’s apartment. Later, Mu Sijue said that he has the item, so you can go and look for him.”

In the end, Kang Ruicheng could not hold in his anger and overturned the solid wood table —

“Bang—”

The table and the tea set on the table fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, with a loud sound.

The two men hurriedly lowered their heads. “Brother Cheng, we’re sorry!”

Xu Youning and Mumu were in the room on the second floor when they heard the loud bang. Mumu was shocked, but he soon calmed down and looked at Xu Youning in confusion. “Is Daddy angry again?”

“Don’t be afraid.” Xu Youning carried him to the sofa and said, “I’ll go down and have a look. Don’t run around.”

He nodded and after Xu Youning left the room, he slowly closed his eyes. His long eyelashes fluttered twice and his eyes, which should have been innocent and happy, gradually dimmed…

On the first floor.

Xu Youning looked at the mess on the ground and went straight to the two men. “What’s going on?”

They cast a glance at Kang Ruicheng. Seeing that Kang Ruicheng did not stop them, they told Xu Youning the whole story.

They had to be cautious. After all, it involved a very sensitive topic—Mu Sijue.

Everyone knew that Kang Ruicheng hated to hear the name Mu Sijue mentioned, especially when Xu Youning was present.

Unexpectedly, after listening to them, Xu Youning did not react violently when she heard Mu Sijue’s name being mentioned. She just confirmed with them. “Did Yunyun’s parents really leave some clues?”

“We can’t be 100% sure.” They were still cautious with what they said. “However, we had indeed planned to look for this clue and then Mu Sijue told us that… the item was with him.”

Xu Youning looked at Kang Ruicheng and silently signaled him to ask what the next course of action would be.

Kang Ruicheng abruptly stood up and his chiseled face was gloomy and looked extremely cruel. “It must be due to their brother-and-sister love affair which forced Xiao Yunyun’s adoptive parents to reveal Xiao Yunyun’s ident.i.ty, so that the clues left behind by the two international criminal police would be discovered by Lu Boyan!”

The more he thought about it, the more reluctant Kang Ruicheng became. He threw a vase which was on the shelf.

“The vase is not a clue left behind by Yunyun’s parents. What’s the use of smas.h.i.+ng the vase?” Xu Youning unintentionally added fuel to the fire. “Also, let me remind you, that if you hadn’t worked with Lin Zhixia to deal with Shen Yuechuan, Yunyun’s adoptive parents would probably have kept Yunyun’s ident.i.ty a secret forever, and what was left behind by Yunyun’s parents would never have appeared in the world.”

In other words, Kang Ruicheng himself was to be blamed for all the consequences that he was suffering from recently.

Kang Ruicheng gave Xu Youning a sharp look. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, it’s useless to be angry. You’d better think about how to remedy it.” Xu Youning said, “You’re not calm enough now. Let me list two possibilities for you.”

Kang Ruicheng said in a low voice, “Say it!”

Xu Youning calmly a.n.a.lyzed, “First of all, Xu Youning’s parents didn’t leave any clues. Mu Sijue is just trying to scare you and make you panic. Your reaction now indicates that you have fallen into Mu Sijue’s trap.”

Kang Ruicheng narrowed his eyes and stared at her with a murderous look. “How did you reach such a decision?”

Xu Youning did not panic and she continued to explain.

“Because after the car accident, Yunyun lived in the welfare inst.i.tution for a few days.”

“At that time, Yunyun’s parents spent so much effort to find the clues. If they really left the clues to Yunyun, the international criminal police could have sent people to take away the clues during the days when Yunyun was in the welfare inst.i.tution.”

“But if that was the case, our base would have long been exposed. However, two decades have pa.s.sed and our base is still fine. Therefore, I suspect that Yunyun’s parents did not leave any clues.”

It was a reasonable a.n.a.lysis.

Kang Ruicheng finally looked less gloomy and his tone also softened. “What’s the second possibility?”

“The second possibility is that Yunyun’s parents really left some clues and Mu Sijue does have the clues.” Without waiting for Kang Ruicheng to lose his temper, Xu Youning continued, “But two decades have pa.s.sed and the clues will not go unscathed. We can make some preparations, but there is no need to panic.”

Kang Ruicheng gazed at Xu Youning gloomily for a long while and then he slowly opened his mouth and said, “No matter what the truth is, we can solve it in the same way.”

Xu Youning’s heart skipped a beat and she suddenly had a very bad feeling. “What way?”

“To kidnap Xiao Yunyun,” Kang Ruicheng said. “If her parents left some clues, I believe that Shen Yuechuan will trade the clues for Xiao Yunyun. If Mu Sijue lied to me, we can use this little girl as a trade-off to get something else from Lu Boyan.”

“I don’t agree.” Xu Youning said in a high pitched voice. “You can deal with Mu Sijue, but you can’t hurt Yunyun!”

Kang Ruicheng smiled and approached Xu Youning. He looked down at her and asked, “You’re so worried about Xiao Yunyun, but don’t you care about Mu Sijue at all?”

“Are you insane?” Xu Youning looked unhappily at Kang Ruicheng. “Mu Sijue is my enemy. I can’t wait to kill him. Why should I care about him?”

Kang Ruicheng smiled with satisfaction. “Very good.”

Xu Youning’s tone suddenly became cold. “I’ll reiterate this. Don’t test me again in the future. I don’t like it.”

Then, she turned around and went upstairs without looking back, hiding her shock and surprise well beneath her expression of hatred.

She knew what Mu Sijue was like. He was not the type to engage in a psychological warfare by saying empty words.

That was to say, Yunyun’s parents really left some clues and they were now in Mu Sijue’s hands.

Lu Boyan must have been concerned about Xiao Yunyun’s safety, so he handed the clues over to Mu Sijue. In this way, would they relax their protection of Xiao Yunyun?

She still had to find a way to inform Shen Yuechuan about ensuring Xiao Yunyun’s safety.

Back in the room, Xu Youning sat on the sofa and thought of another thing.

The base of the Kang family was currently under the sole charge of Kang Jintian. If Lu Boyan destroyed the base, he would only ruin the forces behind Kang Ruicheng, instead of Kang Ruicheng himself.

Given some time to recover, Kang Ruicheng could still come back again and continue doing his evil deeds.

However, if the Kang family’s base was destroyed, plus all the evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes, not to mention Lu Boyan and the police at home, even the international criminal police who had been keeping an eye on Kang Ruicheng would definitely take action.

Kang Ruicheng would be overwhelmingly destroyed only when he was between the hammer and the anvil.

At present, she was the best candidate to collect all evidences of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes.

Of course, it was very risky. If Kang Ruicheng should discover what she was up to due to her carelessness, what awaited her would be endless torture and death.

However, she was doomed to die at any time.

She chose to make a bet in this round!

“Auntie Youning!” Mumu stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Xu Youning. “Did Daddy scare you? I’m going down to have a chat with him!”

“Mumu,” Xu Youning stopped him and said, “I’m fine. Your daddy is in a bad mood now, so you’d better not go down to find him.”

“Okay.” The little boy tilted his head and looked at Xu Youning in a cute way. “Then are you in a good mood?”

Xu Youning smiled and said, “I’m in a good mood as long as I see your face.”

The little boy threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms and hugged her happily. “Me too! Auntie Youning, I like you. I think you’re the second mommy that G.o.d gave me!”

She held the lovely little boy in her arms and her heart melted for a moment.

Mumu lost his mother when he was born. If Kang Ruicheng was arrested, he would also lose his father.

Mumu was only four years old. How would he live in the future?

“Auntie Youning, I want to live with you in the future.” The little boy snorted unhappily. “Daddy is not a gentleman. He always loses his temper. I don’t want to live with him!”

“Okay.” Xu Youning stroked his head and held his little hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you downstairs to eat.”

“Yeah!”

Mumu happily followed Xu Youning downstairs. The housemaid had already prepared dinner, which consisted of vegetables and meat and was very sumptuous. In addition, she also prepared a gla.s.s of warm milk for Mumu.

“I don’t want to drink milk.” The little boy grabbed the corner of Xu Youning’s clothes and pleaded with her. “Auntie Youning, could you please help me drink it?”

The little boy really did not like drinking milk, since he was a baby. Xu Youning came up with a compromise. “Milk provides nutrition for you. But if you really don’t like it, let’s go halves, okay?”

“Okay.” Mumu climbed up the chair and poured out half of the milk for Xu Youning. He clinked his gla.s.s against hers and said, “Cheers.”

He held the gla.s.s with both hands, frowned and finished the milk in one gulp.

Xu Youning picked up a piece of braised pork for him and said, “Good boy, let’s eat.”

After the meal, Xu Youning played games with Mumu in the living room. During their game session, she suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom and vomited.

Kang Ruicheng happened to pa.s.s by. He went in and looked at Xu Youning with a frown. “Are you not feeling well? I’ll call the doctor.”

“No.” Xu Youning rinsed her mouth. “Recently, I have an upset stomach. Occasionally, I feel like vomiting. I must have eaten something at today’s dinner, which caused my upset stomach, but I feel much better after vomiting.”

“Are you sure you don’t need to see a doctor?” Kang Ruicheng still looked worried.

“I’m really fine. There’s no need to see a doctor.”

Xu Youning went back to the living room, picked up the game control and motioned for Mumu to continue playing.

Mumu walked over and stroked Xu Youning’s face. “You’re not feeling well. You’d better listen to Daddy’s advice and see a doctor. I’ll accompany you.”

Xu Youning burst into laughter and pointed at the TV screen. “Watch it.”

She operated the controller flexibly and won the game in less than half a minute.

Mumu was finally relieved and nodded. “All right, let’s continue playing!”

Kang Ruicheng saw that there was nothing unusual about Xu Youning, so he didn’t take it seriously and went out with his men to handle some affairs.

Xu Youning thought that she had just eaten something bad, so she forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
