Su Qi walked through the mountain fog in an uncollected way.
Before the morning fog cleared, he reached a farmhouse.
He went up and knocked on the door.
Three long sequences and two short ones.
The door opened, and Su Qiâs whole body fell forward.
âSu Qi?â
The person who was at the door helped him and pulled him inside.
It was already afternoon when Su Qi woke up. The wound on his body had been treated, but it still hurt a lot.
âSu Qi, wake up.â
Su Qi saw clearly that the man in front of him was his former companion and breathed a sigh of relief. âI thought I wouldnât make it here.â
Wei Yi helped him up. âWhy are you hurt so badly?â
âDonât mention it. If I hadnât met a young girl, I would really have been killed.â
Su Qi looked at a man who was sitting in the room. âBoss...â
The man was wiping a gun with his head down when he heard Su Qi call him. He raised his eyes a little lazily and looked at him.
âAre they going to kill us all?â Su Qi asked.
The man gave a confirmative answer, then lowered his head and continued his work.
Wei Yi said, âBoss, itâs not about whether youâll compete or not, itâs that they donât want to let you go.â
Su Qi agreed and added, âBoss, weâre not scared of them. We can fight them!â
The man threw away the cloth in his hand and loaded some bullets.
He said slowly, âDonât be so aggressive.â
Su Qi: â...â
Wei Yi: â...â
It became very quiet in the room; no one wanted to break the silence.
After a long while, the man stood up and pinned the gun behind his back. He took the cloak and put it on. âIâll be back later.â
It was not an inquiry, just a casual statement.
The two watched the man leave.
...
Ming Shu knew that Shu Xue and her family would definitely come back, but didnât expect them to come so early.
At half past six in the morning.
The villa had been cleaned up a little, but compared to before, it was still a mess.
Shu Hang, Shu Xueâs father, knew the gate password and directly broke in with his people.
There was a large group of people.
They included bodyguards and some people who dressed like doctors and nurses.
âWhereâs Shu Ran?!â With many people behind her, Shu Xue pointed at the people blocking her way and shouted confidently, âGet Shu Ran, that crazy woman, down here!â
Ming Shu heard the noise and came downstairs.
âShu Ran!â
A woman next to Shu Hang immediately took a step forward and pointed at her. âYou little bitch, did you bully Xueâer?â
Ming Shu stood on the stairs and looked down at these people with a smile.
âYes, I did. So what?â
âHow dare you bully Xueâer!â The womanâs breasts vibrated with anger. âYou drove Xueâer out of the villa, how dare you!â
Ming Shu held the armrest with one hand and said very calmly and peacefully, âLet me remind you that this is my home. Itâs my right to drive anyone out of my house.â
Mother Shu spoke without thinking: âYour house, you lunatic, if we hadnât taken care of you, you would have starved to death.â
In Mother Shu and Shu Xueâs eyes, this villa had long become their house.
At ordinary times, the Host also suffered due to Mother Wen.
But Shu Hang would always stand on her side (superficially) so the Host chose to tolerate her the whole time. Then she got sick and naturally had no way to resist her.
âYou took my money, abused me, and drove me crazy. So it looks like I do owe you a lot for taking care of me.â
Ming Shu paused and looked at Shu Hang, who had been silent since the beginning.
âWhat do you say, Uncle?â
Shu Hang rested his eyes tightly on Ming Shu.
He seemed to want to see something from her.
The butler and Shu Xue had told him about what happened.
If she was really pretending to be crazy...
As Shu Hang thought about this, a subtle ruthlessness appeared in his usually amiable face.
âRanran.â Shu Hang pulled Mother Shu and Shu Xue both back. He then continued tentatively, âIâve been busy these days, so I didnât come back to see you. Iâll apologize if you feel upset. But you canât be too angry. Itâs not good for your health...â
Ming Shu stood at the high position, looking at Shu Hang as he called her Ranran amiably, as if he really cared about her so much.
The Host used to be fooled by such kind words.
You had to admit that Shu Hang was a very patient person.
âUncle, I donât want to talk crap with you. You also donât need to test me hypocritically. Iâm very well.â
Ming Shu put it bluntly.
She hadnât had her breakfast.
These people came so early.
âI was young when you tricked me, and I didnât see that clearly, I just admit it now. But now you want to cheat me again, do you think Iâm that stupid?â
Shu Hangâs heart stopped.
Was she really pretending to be crazy?
But...
Even if she was faking it, her current behaviors and reactions were still different from what Shu Hang predicted.
Shu Xue grunted. âDad, I think sheâs beyond recovery. We must send her to a madhouse and get her treated!â
She had long told him that they should send her to a madhouse. Even though she was not crazy, she would be driven mad in that kind of place.
It was annoying to just see her.
If they had listened to her, there wouldnât be such a situation. She was losing such face in front of her classmates.
Shu Hang swept a gaze over the bodyguards blocking the way at the stairs.
He heard that these people were brought by Lawyer Jiang.
âRanran, has your illness gotten worse?â Shu Hang picked up Shu Xueâs topic. âIâll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Ranran, donât be afraid. Itâs not a serious illness, you will be healed.â
Before it Lawyer Jiang came and it was too late, he must take her away.
As Shu Hang finished talking, he waved and gave the order.
The bodyguards behind him immediately went up.
âLawyer Jiang said no one is allowed to take Miss Shu Ran away.â
Shu Hangâs bodyguards were stopped.
âIâm her uncle, sheâs sick, so Iâm going to take her to a doctor.â
Shu Hang said it righteously.
âHer illness has been delayed, if anything happens, which of you will be responsible?â
âDonât talk crap with them, just beat them up.â Finish this and Iâll have my breakfast.
Ming Shu ordered from above.
Shu Hang: â...â
The two sidesâ bodyguards: â...â
So was she crazy or not?
If not, she shouldnât have said something like that, right?
The bodyguards got paid by their employer so they naturally would only listen to their employer.
Lawyer Jiang had made it very clear that no one was allowed to take her away. They must protect her.
The first bodyguard took action, and it was like a blasting fuse; the hall soon devolved into a mess.
âGo, take her down.â Shu Hang pushed the person dressed like a doctor beside him.
The doctors were brave enough to pass through the fighting bodyguards.
They rushed up the stairs.
With each holding Ming Shu by one of her arms, they tried to lift Ming Shu and drag her down.
Ming Shu had rested for a night, and although her strength was still not enough, she avoided their claws relying on the advantage that she was petite.
She backed up a few steps.
âDonât come over, or youâll end up miserable. And I have my psychopath certificate, so itâs not against the law for me to beat people.â
Doctors: â...â
What was that?
The doctors had been bought off by Shu Hang, so naturally they wouldnât stop now.
They rushed at Ming Shu again.
At Ming Shuâs hand was a fernleaf hedge bamboo. She broke its stem without any trouble, feeling its weight in her hands, then struck it toward the people rushing over.
The fernleaf hedge bamboo seemed soft and had no attack ability at all, so the doctors didnât take it seriously. They intended to take the hit and grab Ming Shu.
âAhh...!â
