On the surface, Xu Yuning and Mu Mu were nothing more than ordinary goodbyes.
Consequently, Conrad City did not create any suspicion.
He looked at the clock and realized that if he didnât get out of the house, it might be too late.
However, Xu Yuning and Mu Mu seemed to have no intention of separating.
Kang Ruicheng furrowed his brows and impatiently urged, âAlright, weâll be back in a few hours, letâs go.â
Xu Yuning and Mu Mu both knew in their hearts that if this continued, Kang Ruicheng was bound to become suspicious.
They â¦â¦ really have to say goodbye.
Xu Yuning nodded, trying to maintain a natural look as she followed Kang Ruicheng out the door.
Mu Mu also smiled and followed Kang Ruicheng and Xu Yuning outside as if nothing had happened.
There was a black Land Rover parked outside the gate of the mansion, and the license plate number was very domineering, very much in line with Kang Ruichengâs usual style.
In the driverâs seat of the car sat Tohko.
Dongzi, according to his and Kang Ruichengâs plan, drove the car to the entrance of the old mansion early, saw Xu Yuning and Kang Ruicheng come out, and busily got out of the car to open the door.
Kang Ruicheng held the car door rather gentlemanly, signaling Xu Yuning to go up first.
Xu Yuning also do not know why, heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the heart vaguely have a bad feeling, but can not say a reason, can only first get on the car.
Kang Ruicheng then sat up, right next to Xu Yuning. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The bad premonition in Xu Yuningâs heart continued to swell, she subconsciously wanted to pull away the distance between herself and Kang Ruicheng, but considering that the unusual behavior would cause Kang Ruichengâs suspicion, she could only force herself to remain calm.
Kang Ruicheng naturally fastened his seatbelt, seemingly unintentionally inclined his head to look at Xu You, his line of sight locking Xu Yuningâs collarbone, furrowed his brows, âThere is something missing â¦â¦â
Xu Yuning didnât react for a moment, looking at Kang Ruicheng uncertainly, âWhat?â
âThereâs a necklace missing.â
As soon as the trailing tone fell, Kang Ruicheng took out a box for himself, which contained a very delicately crafted diamond necklace that sparkled inside the black box.
Xu Yuning had little interest in jewelry.
However, for professional reasons, when major brands launch new products of the season, she will habitually go to learn about them, even if she doesnât get her hands on them, she should probably know about them, just in case.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldnât remember which brandâs promotional magazine she had seen the necklace in.
Isnât it a first-tier brand necklace?
It doesnât make sense â when someone like Kang Ruicheng makes a move, itâs usually a first-tier brand ah.
Kang Ruicheng once said that materially, he would never condescend to himself, much less her.
Xu Yuning had been secretly pondering for a long time, and when the answer was calling out, Kang Ruicheng had already hung the necklace around her neck.
She mentally retched, and subconsciously pressed the necklaceâ
Intuition told her that the necklace wasnât that simple.
âDonât move!â Kang Ruichengâs voice was very strong, yet not too gentle for a gentleman, âIâll put it on for you, itâll look great.â
ââ¦â¦ hmmm.â
With this sound, Xu Yuning hesitated for a long time before barely letting it out.
She could no longer resist.
Even if there was something fishy about the necklace, she was riding the fence.
Kang Ruichengâs movements were very sharp, and soon helped Xu Yuning put on the necklace, and at the end of the day, he helped her adjust it, finally revealing a satisfied smile, âOkay.â
The bad feeling in Xu Yuningâs heart not only did not subside, but the more he thought about it, the more odd he felt.
She looked down at the pendant on her collarbone, pretended to make a puzzled face, and said, âThis isnât quite the right length, itâs too low, can it be adjusted?â
ââ¦â¦â Conrad City didnât say anything.
That bad feeling in Xu Yuningâs heart grew stronger, she stopped waiting for Kang Ruichengâs answer and took it upon herself to try to untie the necklace.
But things werenât as easy as she thought they would be.
It was as if the necklace was inherently circled around her neck, and there was no way to remove it, let alone adjust the length.
She couldnât even recall how Kang Ruicheng had put it on her.
Xu Yuning clutched the chain and looked at Kang Ruicheng, her complexion had become angry as she questioned, âWhatâs going on here?â
ââ¦â¦ âKang Ruicheng looked unimpressed and said lightly, âDonât worry, as long as thereâs nothing out of the ordinary, itâs just an ordinary necklace.â
ââ¦â¦â
Xu Yuning instantly heard Kang Ruichengâs words â if anything out of the ordinary happened, this necklace would turn into a deadly weapon.
As for what is an anomalyâ
As long as Lu Boyan and Mu Sijun had any unusual movements, or Xu Yuning came into contact with Mu Sijun, in Kang Ruichengâs opinion, it was considered an abnormal situation, right?
If Kang Rui Cityâs defense escalated to this level, Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jueâs plan would be greatly hindered.
However, Xu Yuning couldnât show concern.
At times like this, she could only exude her incomprehension and anger towards Kang Ruicheng for doing this.
Xu Yuning shook her head, the way she wanted to laugh but couldnât, looking at Kang Ruicheng incredulously, âYou donât believe me?â
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Yuning and softly soothed, âAh Ning, calm down. Itâs not that I donât believe you, I donât believe Lu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue.â
Xu Yuning felt ridiculous and snorted, tugging at the necklace around her neck, âWhat about this thing, how are you going to explain it?â
âAh Ning, I donât need to explain to you.â Kang Ruichengâs voice was gentle and no longer, his gaze gradually lost its temperature, only a cold irony remained, âLu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue are my enemies, tonight is a good opportunity, they will definitely make a move, shouldnât I take measures?â
The more Xu Yuning heard, the more ridiculous he felt, the banter at the corners of his lips deepened a few more points: âYour so-called measure is to install a fixed-time | bomb on my body?â
She guessed, according to Kang Rui Cheng a hang habit, the necklace around her neck, hidden in a small size, but the lethality of the bomb is not small at all.
Once the bomb exploded, it wouldnât cause widespread damage, but, she would surely die.
As for why Conrad City is doing this-
The reason is simple.
He would rather ruin Xu Yuning than let Mu Sijun take Xu Yuning back.
He guessed that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijun would make a move, and if Lu Boyan and Mu Sijunâs plan succeeded and Xu Yuning was out of his control, he would detonate the bomb.
What he canât have, he wonât let anyone else have.
Xu Yuning did want to escape, but she still felt that Kang Ruichengâs method was ridiculous.
Kang Ruicheng claimed to love her and said that he was just trying to watch out for Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jue this time.
If he wanted to watch out for Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jue, he obviously had a thousand ways to defend himself, so why hang a bomb around her neck?
After all, itâs still because he doesnât trust her, isnât it?
Or perhaps his so-called love is simply hypocritical.
If you really love someone, you should do everything you can to make her happy, even if the person who gives her happiness is not yourself, it doesnât matter at all.
To really love someone is to be afraid of her getting hurt, not to want to hurt her.
This kind of destructive love from Conrad City is horrible.
However, Kang Ruicheng didnât feel that there was anything wrong with this move of his, and rightfully said, âAh Ning, I hope you can understand me.â
Xu Yuning let out a cold laugh, looked angrily at Kang Ruicheng, and said word for word, âI have no way to understand you!â
ââ¦â¦ âKang Ruicheng frowned and didnât show any softness, instead his tone turned into a warning, âAh Ning, at times like this, you should listen to me!â
âDonât ask me to listen to you!â Xu Yuningâs anger instantly spewed out, almost setting the entire carriage ablaze as he angrily rebuked, âYouâre doubting me, so what qualifications do you have to tell me to listen to you!?â
Even if Kang Ruicheng hadnât suspected her, he was still her grandmotherâs murderer.
Who the hell was he to ask her to listen to him?
âI told you, I suspect Lu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue!â Kang Ruichengâs aura was on full blast, meeting Xu Yuningâs gaze, trying to suppress her anger, emphasizing verbatim, âWhen they start to act, as long as you donât cooperate with them, as long as you come to me, youâll be fine! Iâve already said so, what else do you have to worry about?â
ââ¦â¦ After all, you still donât trust me.â
Xu Yuning was really angry, not only did she not fear Kang Ruichengâs gaze, the smile on the corner of her lips instead became colder and colder.
Instead of backing down, the anger in the bottom of her eyes burned even hotter.
Seeing this, Kang Ruicheng had to make a compromise, his tone softening, âAh Ning, you should â¦â¦â
âDonât need you to tell me what I should do!â The coldness in Xu Yuningâs smile seemed to emanate from his bones, every word he spat out was like it was going to freeze, âYou donât even know what you should do, youâre not qualified to teach me!â
ââ¦â¦ âKang Ruicheng did not want to explain anymore, lit a cigarette, looked out the car window and said, âIn short, as long as you donât get close to Mu Sijun, youâll be fine.â
Xu Yuningâs attention was diverted for a moment-
The carriages were already narrow, and if Kang Ruicheng smoked, the air in the carriages would become dirty.
Sheâs carrying a baby and canât breathe this air.
Xu Yuning didnât hesitate and reached out to press the button on the car window in an attempt to lower it.
When Kang Ruicheng heard the voice, his gaze instantly became stern as a knife, turning back to see Xu Yuning really rolling down the car window.
Doesnât she know what this action means?
Kang Ruichengâs eyes instantly filled with murderous anger, clutched Xu Yuningâs hand and pulled her over, roaring, âWhat are you doing?â
The window halfway down abruptly paused.
Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng, not reacting for a long time.
Dongzi reacted in turn and busied himself with closing the window.
The wind that had just blown in hadnât had a chance to replace the air in the car, and the compartment had become an enclosed space again, filling the air with a strong odor of smoke.
Xu Yuning was not in a very good mood and struggled a little, asking Kang Ruicheng to let go of her.
However, Conrad City didnât have that intention.
Xu Yuning stared angrily at Kang Ruicheng, the fire in her heart intensifying.
Dongzi sensed that the atmosphere in the car was getting more and more stiff, and stiffly spoke out to explain, âMs. Xu, that look â¦â¦ you just had is too dangerous.â
