In the living room of the old house.
Having sand in his eyes was a very uncomfortable thing. Mumu rubbed his eyes and did not notice the falling brick at all.
Seeing that, Aunt Zhou looked pale, and she called out, âMumu!â
For so many days on the top of the mountain, Aunt Zhou had been carefully taking care of Mumu for fear that this little guy would get hurt.
How could he get hurt on the first day of his return?
With a sudden spurt of energy, Aunt Zhou ran over to hug Mumu. She had begun to build a safe harbor for the little boy with her aging body.
Right at that moment, the brick hit heavily on Aunt Zhouâs head.
Mumu heard a âbangâ sound as something fell heavily onto the ground.
He struggled to look up from Aunt Zhouâs arms and saw blood constantly dripping down along her head.
âGranny Zhou!â
Mumu screamed and even forgot to cry. He reached out to cover Aunt Zhouâs wound.
Immediately, Tang Yulan looked pale. She came over to help Aunt Zhou press on her wound to stop the bleeding. At the same time, she said to Mumu, âItâs too dangerous to stand on the stool. Come down first.â
Mumu took back his hand. His palm was covered with Aunt Zhouâs blood.
Only then did Mumu finally realize that Aunt Zhou got hurt.
The little boy burst into tears and ran out. âDaddy, Uncle Dongzi...â
Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi arrived just in time.
Mumu rushed over and hugged Kang Ruichengâs thigh in a panic. âDaddy, Granny Zhou got hurt. Hurry up and call the doctor to save her. Granny Zhou... woowoo... Granny Zhou lost a lot of blood...â
Kang Ruicheng was a little surprised. Judging from the surveillance video just now, it was Mumu who might have been injured. How could Mrs. Zhou get hurt?
Being confused, Kang Ruicheng picked up Mumu and walked into the living room.
Tang Yulan was pressing on Aunt Zhouâs wound, but this method was obviously useless. Blood kept gushing out of Aunt Zhouâs wound.
Aunt Zhouâs blood was warm, but Tang Yulanâs hands and feet were cold. She looked at Kang Ruicheng and said in a trembling voice, âItâs a deep cut. If we donât send her to the hospital, it will be difficult to deal with it.â
However, if Aunt Zhou was sent to the hospital, it would not take long for Mu Sijue and Lu Boyan to find her, and they would definitely rescue her immediately.
Kang Ruicheng thought for a moment and told Dongzi, âGo and call Doctor He!â
Due to the excessive loss of blood, Aunt Zhou could no longer support herself. She shook violently and fell on Tang Yulan.
Tang Yulan reacted very quickly. She held Aunt Zhou and asked worriedly, âAunt Zhou, how are you feeling?
Aunt Zhou wanted to squeeze out a smile to reassure Tang Yulan, but the excessive loss of blood made it particularly difficult for her to smile.
Tang Yulan could see that Aunt Zhou was weak, so she held her even tighter. She called her again, âAunt Zhou!â
â...â This time, Aunt Zhou closed her eyes directly, with all her weight on Tang Yulan.
Mumu cried and ran over. âGranny Zhou.â
Seeing this, Kang Ruicheng motioned for one of his men to come over.
The man nodded and took Aunt Zhou to the room.
Tang Yulan followed him in. At the same time, another man brought her a first aid kit.
Tang Yulan fumbled for medical supplies from the first aid kit to help Aunt Zhou stop the bleeding.
Mumu also ran in. He wiped away his tears, stood beside Aunt Zhou, and kept looking at her.
Seeing that the little boy was really worried, Tang Yulan pressed on Aunt Zhouâs wound said to him soothingly, âMumu, donât worry too much. Granny Zhou is just slightly injured. She will be fine.â
âGranny Tang,â Mumu said in a tearful voice, âcan I help you stop the bleeding?â
âGood boy, you canât do it. I can do it alone,â Tang Yulan comforted the little boy, âyou can just stay here with Granny Zhou.â
Mumu nodded, went up to Aunt Zhou, and grabbed her hand.
Excessive loss of blood, plus no heating here, Aunt Zhouâs hands and feet were cold.
Mumu struggled to drag over the quilt from the corner of the bed. He unfolded it and put it on Aunt Zhou.
Tang Yulan smiled at the little boy and said, âYou just accompany Granny Zhou here. Letâs wait for the doctor. The doctor will help Granny Zhou.â
Mumu nodded. It did not take long for the doctor to arrive.
The doctor was a middle-aged man in his early fifties. He was very skilled in bandaging, and quickly, he finished dressing Aunt Zhouâs wound. However, the blood soon soaked the gauze.
Seeing that, Kang Ruicheng frowned and asked, âUncle He, how is it going?â
Uncle He shook his head and said, âItâs a very deep cut. The situation is not optimistic. For her safety, youâd better send her to the hospital.â
â...â Kang Ruicheng hesitated and did not speak.
Hearing that, Tang Yulan got up and went straight to Kang Ruicheng. âDonât you want to send Aunt Zhou to the hospital?â
âNo,â Kang Ruicheng stared at Tang Yulan coldly and said, âTang Yulan, donât think that I donât know what you are thinking. You want me to send Mrs. Zhou to the hospital so that Mu Sijue and your son can find her and save her. Listen, you are dreaming!â
âSince Sijue and Boyan sent Mumu back to you, you should have sent Aunt Zhou back a long time ago,â Tang Yulan was also angry, âKang Ruicheng, do you want to act as a role model for your son? Do you want your son to learn to eat his words from you?â
âItâs not your business!â Kang Ruicheng approached Tang Yulan and wore a murderous look in his gloomy eyes. âTang Yulan, now itâs not Mrs. Zhou but you who is really in danger.â
Tang Yulan smiled and looked into Kang Ruichengâs eyes without fear. âI know, fifteen years ago, you wanted to kill me. Unfortunately, you didnât succeed.â
âFifteen years ago, I failed. But now, you are in my control,â Kang Ruicheng said fiercely, âyouâd better mind your own business, or I will kill you before Lu Boyan exchanges A Ning for you.â
âYou donât dare.â Tang Yulan smiled and looked at Kang Ruicheng insightfully and sharply. âYou put a lot of effort into bribing someone of the Zhong family to kidnap me just to threaten Boyan, didnât you? Now, Aunt Zhou got hurt. If you kill me, who can you use to threaten Boyan? Whatâs the point of your kidnapping?â
Even if Kang Ruicheng was unwilling to admit it, Tang Yulan was right. He could not kill her for the time being, even if he really wanted to.
The feeling of being seen through made Kang Ruicheng feel very bad.
âDaddy,â Mumu ran up to Kang Ruicheng, cried, and begged, âcan you take Granny Zhou to the hospital? Iâll listen to you in the future, and I wonât make you angry again. Please take Granny Zhou to the hospital, Daddy...â
Kang Ruicheng looked at the doctor and asked, âUncle He, will she have an accident?â
âNothing will happen for the time being,â Uncle He could see that Kang Ruicheng did not want to send the old lady to the hospital, so he said, âwe can wait until tomorrow. If the old lady doesnât wake up then, we can send her to the hospital.â
Kang Ruicheng looked at Mumu and asked, âDid you hear Grandpa Heâs words clearly?â
âWhy donât you send Granny Zhou to the hospital immediately?â Mumu squatted down and curled up into a ball beside Kang Ruicheng, crying louder and louder. âTomorrow, Granny Zhou will still lose a lot of blood, and it will hurt for a long time. I donât want to wait!â
âYou must wait!â Kang Ruicheng shouted, âwe canât go to the hospital now!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing the scene, Uncle He said to Mumu soothingly, âIâll prescribe some medicine and give her an IV drip. Donât worry; she wonât feel any pain.â
Mumu did not say anything. He wiped away his tears and returned to the bed to accompany Aunt Zhou.
Kang Ruicheng asked Uncle He to stay and then left the room.
Tang Yulan followed him out and stopped Kang Ruicheng. With her voice being not as soft as it had been, she asked coldly, âIf something happens to Aunt Zhou, can you take the responsibility?â
Kang Ruicheng sneered as if he did not care. âIf something happens to Mrs. Zhou, then she will be the number... people Iâve killed... Iâm sorry, Iâve lost count of it. Well, I killed so many people, but Iâm still alive and fine. To put it bluntly, killing Mrs. Zhou doesnât matter to me at all.â
â...â
Tang Yulan shook her head and took a step back as if she wanted to stay away from Kang Ruicheng.
She could not understand how he could be so crazy.
Kang Ruicheng stared at Tang Yulan and continued, âAt this time, youâd better not worry about Mrs. Zhou. You should worry about yourself. Donât forget what I warned you of.â
âI wonât. Kang Ruicheng, do you think that I should be afraid of you after you intimidated me?â Tang Yulan looked into Kang Ruichengâs eyes and smiled disdainfully. âTo tell you the truth, I have lived for decades longer than you, and Iâve gone through a lot. I admit that I donât want to die, but it doesnât mean that I will be afraid of you.â
âItâs really interesting,â Kang Ruicheng nodded and added, âIâm looking forward to seeing you say so in a few days.â
Tang Yulan maintained a disdainful smile and said word by word, âKang Ruicheng, I will never be afraid of you. That year, you killed my husband, and I had no ability to fight back and had to escape. But after so many years, my son has grown up. With him, you will never have a good end.â
âIâm afraid that youâre wrong,â Kang Ruicheng said, âyou and Lu Boyan should have died more than a decade ago, but I let you live for another fifteen years. The truth should be that I will not let the Lu family have a good end! By the way, I heard that there are two newborn babies in your family, right?â
Tang Yulan was not surprised that Kang Ruicheng actually wanted to hurt two newborn babies.
However, she was not afraid at all. She sneered and said, âKang Ruicheng, donât imagine that you can hurt the Lu family!â
âWell, I wonât hurt Su Jianâan.â Kang Ruicheng suddenly laughed. âI really wonder why Lu Boyan dared to marry such a beautiful woman since he knows that I will come back. Take a guess, what will I do to her if I catch Su Jianâan?â
Tang Yulan knew what Kang Ruicheng was implying. She could not stand Kang Ruichengâs insult to Su Jianâan, so she suddenly raised her hand and was about to slap Kang Ruicheng in the face.
How could Kang Ruicheng be ready to be slapped by Tang Yulan?
He raised his hand, intercepted Tang Yulanâs falling palm, and shook her off. Then, Tang Yulan suddenly lost her balance and slumped to the ground...
