She just took a cab to the border of Dark Night.
Gu Linxiâs call came right after, urgently prompting her to pick up as if it were a matter of life and death.
Rong Yan found a quiet corner and connected the call.
âHello.â
No sooner had she spoken than Gu Linxiâs angry voice came through, âI knew asking me to check the phone IP address couldnât be for nothing. I just hacked the firewall at the telecom headquarters and listened in on that call. Youâre going to Dark Night to rescue someone? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? Why are you meddling in the Rong Familyâs affairs? They can handle it themselves!â
Kicked in the head by a donkey⦠Oh, what a description. Rong Yan leaned against the wall, glanced at the entrance to Dark Night, and tucked herself into the shadows. In fact, she had wondered on her way over if she had been kicked in the head by a donkey, feeling an itching boredom to actually go to Dark Night, butâ¦
âRong Mu is only eight years old.â
âSo what?â
âBy blood, heâs my younger brother.â
Gu Linxi couldnât understand, âBut youâve never even met him, let alone developed any feelings for him. Besides, how the Rong Family treats you normally, why should you muddle in now, during their time of crisis?â
Rong Yan heard the concern in her words, smiled wryly, and admitted casually, âI have no feelings for Rong Mu and Iâve never met him. So, I wonât put myself in danger for him. Iâm just going to Dark Night to look around, and if I see him, Iâll try to rescue him, of course, provided that I can ensure my own safety. If I donât see him, then if something really does happen in the future, at least I wonât always feel uncomfortable deep down.â
The Rong Family is the Rong Family, Rong Mu is Rong Mu.
Rong Mu is a life, and only eight years old at that.
âIâm not so heartless as to feel gleeful if an eight-year-old boy with whom I share a blood relation has an accident.â
Rong Mu and she had never met, but in principle, they were related by blood. Those disgusting things Weiwei did had nothing to do with Rong Mu.
Whatâs most important is, Rong Nanfengâs many chilling words were undeniable to her, but one point was irrefutableâthat the Rong Family had raised her for over a decade and given her sustenance!
Even if reluctant, she indeed owed Rong Nanfeng more than ten years of gratitude for raising her.
âBesides, I still owe the Rong Family something. If Iâm lucky and I see Rong Mu, Iâll try to pay back what I owe to the Rong Family, to Rong Nanfeng all at once.â
If she doesnât encounter him, then it will only be a regretful case of Rong Mu having bad luckâ¦
As a friend of many years, Gu Linxi understood her, âI get your point. But Dark Night is too unsafe, itâs filled with all sorts of bad elements. I canât rest easy with you going in alone. Wait for me, Iâm coming over.â
Rong Yan immediately stopped her, âDonât come. Let me see if thereâs anyone in there first.â
Rong Yan spoke with mature steadiness, âIf I donât see Rong Mu, your coming would be for nothing. Donât worry, Sister Xixi, I havenât spent five years abroad for nothing. Iâve prepared for unexpected situations.â
She wasnât foolish enough to repay Rong Nanfeng with her life; she was just being true to her principles, peeking inside to make sure all was safe.
She wouldnât be so stupid as to risk herself. If something happened to her, her Little Baby would be left all alone at home; her Little Duidui was only five years old, and she couldnât bear that thought.
