Ning Qing struggled furiously to escape his kiss. Her two small hands scratched his handsome face, as she demanded, “Mu Yunfan, let go of me. I am Lu Shaoming’s woman. You don’t have any right to touch me.”

“Qing Qing, who kissed you? Was it Lu Shaoming? You are Brother’s woman. How could have the mark of another man on your body?” Ning Qing used her strength to push him away. She spat coldly, “Mu Yunfan, you should wake up now. Stop dreaming. I am Lu Shaoming’s wife, this is a fact. I love him, I gave myself to him willingly, and we were engaged ’til midnight, ’til we slept…”

“Enough, stop talking!” Mu Yunfan stared at her furiously. His face was terrifying, and it was twitching in pain. He used one hand to grab Ning Qing’s hair, and he slammed Ning Qing’s head onto the wall with a loud bang! “Qingqing, say, say that you are Brother’s woman.”

Ning Qing’s head was hit until she saw stars. Mu Yunfan spoke in a heavy voice, implying evil intentions, and it was like he was a totally different person. He actually used his own hands to hit her.

Ning Qing continued to laugh coldly. She clenched her teeth and said, “Mu Yunfan, I am Lu Shaoming’s woman. I am his! Even if you got my body, you won’t ever get my heart. I will only love Lu Shaoming more, and hate you even more.”

“You!” Mu Yunfan used his hand to slap Ning Qing. At this moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang could be heard. The bodyguards were frantic and in a panic. “Young Master, things are amiss, there’s someone here.” Mu Yunfan’s hand, which was close to hitting Ning Qing, froze instantaneously. His scattered vision slowly started to focus. He saw that he was still pulling Ning Qing’s hair and he quickly took his hand back with the speed of lightning. He pulled Ning Qing into his embrace, and said messily, “Qingqing, I am sorry, I did not hit you on purpose. Does your head hurt? Forgive Brother, Brother was too furious just now.”

He embraced her in his arms. She did not struggle, and warm liquid trickled down forehead. She was probably bleeding. Her head was faint, her ears were ringing, and she felt her body go limp.

Shaoming came; Lu Shaoming was here to save her.

She knew that Lu Shaoming would not be stopped. Who was he? He was her billionaire husband. At this moment, she could not provoke Mu Yunfan further. She realized faintly that in Mu Yunfan’s heart, he had an evil monster living inside. It was terrifying.

Lu Shaoming?

Mu Yunfan seemed to think about this and went down swiftly. He used his own sleeve to wipe the blood on Ning Qing’s head. His actions were very gentle, while he was wiping, he blew onto her forehead lightly. “Qingqing is not in pain anymore; let Brother blow it for you, just like when we were younger. Brother deserves to die, Brother would never hit you in the future. Even if Lu Shaoming comes, it’s of no use, he won’t be able to enter. I will bring you to see him now.”

He couldn’t enter?

Ning Qing felt her heart sink.

Mu Yunfan cupped Ning Qing’s shoulder and brought her out.

Ning Qing walked out of the room to enter a warehouse. On her first look out, she saw Lu Shaoming, he stood at the door of the warehouse. Beside him was a tall soldier in camouflage clothing and Zhu Rui.

“Shaoming.” Ning Qing saw him let out a sweet gentle smile. She stepped forward, wanting to run to Lu Shaoming. “Qingqing, don’t run recklessly.” Mu Yunfan pulled her into his embrace with one hand, while his other hand held detonation device. He smiled and said, “Young Master Lu had this capability to escape from my first bomb, but by the warehouse door has a second bomb. I am very sorry, the warehouse door has a fused bomb. I only need to press this button; with a bang, everyone will die together.”

Ning Qing looked at Mu Yunfan in shock. In Mu Yunfan’s eyes, she saw stubbornness and insanity. Before now, Ning Qing did not suspect that he would take such a crazy move. Not only did he not care about the number of lives he would take; he even did not want his own life anymore.

He was a lunatic!

Lu Shaoming’s grim expression was extremely unhappy. He saw the bloodstains on Ning Qing’s forehead and shirt collar that had been bitten into pieces. He knew what kind of torture that she’d gone through. It seems like he had underestimated Mu Yunfan. He always thought that Mu Yunfan and Ning Qing’s feelings for 18 years were genuine, and he would never harm her.

It looked like Mu Yunfan was totally different.

Lu Shaoming’s eyes darkened more and more by the minute. He looked sideways at Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao lifted his handsome eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders. “Big Brother, don’t look at me. This type of fused bomb would explode upon the activation of the button. I can not escape either.” While he was speaking, Zhou Yao secretly gave him a gesture that implied he has a handgun.

Lu Shaoming tightened his brows and understood. There was a gun on Zhou Yao’s belt, and he had 100% confidence that he could shoot Mu Yunfan’s heart in one shot.

But, did they really want to kill Mu Yunfan in front of Ning Qing? Lu Shaoming shook his head, this was the last resort among all choices. “Mu Yunfan, you directed this show today, you would not do all this just to die together with us. Talk now, what are you thinking?” Lu Shaoming asked.

Mu Yunfan laughed, relaxed, “What I want to do? This question should be directed to Qingqing. Qingqing, you have two choices now. First choice: I will press the button, we will all die together. Second: Let Lu Shaoming leave, there is a backdoor. I will bring you to Singapore. Qingqing, think carefully; my life, Lu Shaoming’s life, and everyone that is present now, their lives will be in your hands. It all depends on your choice.

Ning Qing’s face grew even more pale. She looked at the evil smile on Mu Yunfan’s face. She was shaking from top to bottom. She felt cold.

Mu Yunfan gave her two choices; how was she going to choose?

She could not return to Singapore with him, she was Lu Shaoming’s wife, her house and her love was here, but…

Ning Qing looked at the weak Yin Shuiling on the floor, Lu Shaoming by the door, Zhu Rui and Xu Junxi, they were all innocent parties. Could she sacrifice so many lives just for her own happiness? Mu Yunfan patted Ning Qing’s shoulder and prompted her asking, “”Ning Qing, you don’t have any more time, tell me your choice.”

Ning Qing shook her head and said softly, “I choose neither.”

As she spoke, Ning Qing suddenly bolted agilely, and successfully escaped from Mu Yunfan’s grip. She took out sharp knife from the waist of a bodyguard on the way. She placed it on her neck and said, “Mu Yunfan, I choose to give myself up.”

“Qingqing”

“Ning Qing”

Mu Yunfan and Lu Shaoming’s voices both rang out.

Ning Qing looked slowly at Mu Yunfan, her gaze cold and disappointed. “Mu Yunfan, I cannot return with you to Singapore. How come you still don’t understand? I am Madam Lu, I love Lu Shaoming. Without him, I will die. Do you actually want a corpse? But you threatened me, you took so many lives to threaten me. I cannot shoulder this responsibility, I cannot be so selfish. So, everything ends here with me; I allow you to shoulder the responsibility!”

“I will kill myself in front of you, I want you to remember forever that I was forced to death by you. Your selfish love made me suffocate. Because I can’t be with you, I would rather die!”

After she stopped speaking, she used strength and the sharp blade speedily left a trail of fresh blood in her soft neck, red blood trickled down immediately. “Don’t! Don’t, Qingqing!” Mu Yunfan lost control and stepped forward, he was shaking painfully, using his hands to pull his hair.

Mu Yunfan’s irises were contracting greatly. Ning Qing’s every word was carved painfully like a knife running through his heart; he was pierced, and he was in great pain. She actually gave him such an unexpected answer. She was so harsh towards herself, and she was so harsh with him!

They have known each other for 20 years. He was previously the Brother Yunfan, whom she trusted the most, but now, she was willing to die and not follow him. She even wanted to die in front of him, and let him be in such pain that he would rather not live anymore.

She was using her life to punish him!

Thinking about this was also funny. He had a knife in his stomach. It had been put there by her. She was so cruel and did not even take pity on him. But, but he could not just watch her die, because he was not willing to part with her.

“Okay.” Mu Yunfan’s bloodshot eyes raised the detonation device up, and he laughed mockingly. “Qingqing, you have won. You have won, okay. Brother will listen to you, brother will not press the detonator anymore. You put the knife down, don’t harm yourself.”

After hearing him speak, Ning Qing let out a sigh of relief. Actually life was just like a game of poker, and she was placing a bet; she was using her life to bet on the friendship she had with Mu Yunfan. She would not choose either of the choices. She could only cut off her means of retreat and wish to win among the stacked odds.

She was lucky that she won the bet.

“Okay, then you throw the detonator out first.” Ning Qing said warily. Mu Yunfan looked at Lu Shaoming by the door and curled his lips, “Qingqing, I can throw the detonator away, but I have a single condition: Come over and kiss me.”

Lu Shaoming’s dark expression in his eyes immediately spread out like black ink. The darkness was an abyss, spreading the cold and chilling the air all around. Ning Qing heard this condition and she looked sideways at Lu Shaoming. That man was frowning handsomely as he stared at her. He opened his mouth. “Wifey”

He did not allow her to do so.

“Ha, Qingqing, this is not a difficult condition. If you do not agree, then there is no other solution. You will die first, I’ll send these people along to be buried beside you!”

With a clunk, the knife in Ning Qing’s hand fell to the floor. She started to run towards Mu Yunfan.

Mu Yunfan held his two arms open, and took her into his embrace. Ning Qing cupped Mu Yunfan’s neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Mu Yunfan froze for a second. Her light and sweet breathing , they were so close together. All he saw in his eyes was her. Her skin was akin to a freshly opened lychee.

His Qingqing has matured; she has turned into a beautiful young woman. Mu Yunfan cupped the back of her head and nudged her small nose. Her two crimson red lips were right in front of him, they were just a hand’s length away.

“Qingqing, I want to kiss. Between a man and woman, you kiss me on the cheek, are you fooling with me?”

Ning Qing hugged him, tears rolled down her cheeks. While she was flooded in a sea of tears, she looked at him and said, “Brother Yun Fan, do you still remember when I was 6, and you brought me to learn Taekwondo? You said, girls should all learn some martial arts for self-defence. In the 3 years you were not here, I was suffering so much. So many men wanted to have my body, they insulted me and made my life difficult. They wanted to use money to raise me as mistress. But I did not fulfil their wishes, because I could protect myself.”

Mu Yunfan had never heard her talk about her experience during those 3 years. Hearing it now made his beautiful face become ugly, “Who was it? Who dared to bully my Qingqing? Tell Brother, Brother will go to kill them all.”

Ning Qing shook her tear filled face, “Brother Yunfan, do you still not understand? You are the one bullying me now. You are not any different from those men!” Mu Yunfan heard her words and quickly let go of Ning Qing. He shook his head and took a few steps back, he looked as though he had lost his soul and murmured, “No, No, I didn’t…”

Mu Yunfan’s abdomen injury started to bleed again, he used his hands to cup it, his vision blacked out and he fainted, falling onto the floor.

“Young Master, Young Master!”

…

After seeing Mu Yunfan faint onto the floor, Ning Qing used her two small hands to cup her face and sob. She felt her warm tears flowing through her fingers and she was heartbroken. She was really heartbroken. Her Brother Yunfan had disappeared. Was this the ending of her and Mu Yunfan? Ning Qing was crying too furiously. Her weak shoulders were shaking, and suddenly a palm pressed against her head and her head was taken into a man’s embrace.

“Wifey, cry if you feel like crying.” Lu Shaoming carried her and used his other hand to caress her hair softly. Ning Qing took her hand and hugged his strong waist. She buried her small face into his coat, and took a big sniff of the mesmerizing scent on his body. She raised her head and used her hand to wipe her tears off her face messily. “Shaoming, I am fine, it is not the time to be sad now. How is Shuiling?”

Ning Qing let go of Lu Shaoming and turned.

Yin Shuiling had been released from the ropes. Zhu Rui was holding on to her, helping her stand, but Yin Shuiling’s legs crumbled and she was about to fall again.

“Shuiling.” Ning Qing hurriedly went to help her.

But before her small hand could touch Yin Shuiling, a strong gust of wind passed by her body. Yin Shuiling was already in the arms of a man dressed in a grey suit. Ning Qing opened her eyes to look; it was Yin Muchen.

Yin Muchen used his hand to gently pat Yin Shuiling’s face and he called out to her softly, “Shuiling, Shuiling.” It was only then that Ning Qing noticed that Yin Shuiling did not look right. Her small face was unnaturally hot, her eyes were closed halfway, and her face was pale.

“What’s going on?” Just when Ning Qing wanted to ask this question, Yin Muchen opened his mouth. He seemed to be controlling his voice and the voice coming from his chest was low and gloomy. The bodyguard that was pinned down by Lu Shaoming quickly lifted his head and someone said softly, “When Young Master brought Miss Ning into the room…”

Before the person could complete his words, Yin Muchen only gave him a harsh kick to the person’s chest. That strong and burly bodyguard vomited blood from his mouth and he lay flat onto the ground. Ning Qing was in shock. It had been many years since she’d seen Yin Muchen’s face. Yin Muchen entered the Yin family when he was 14, but previously he was a famous gangster on the streets. He had an air of a ruffian.

Yin Muchen carried Yin Shuiling vertically, and walked towards the door of the warehouse. Ning Qing hurriedly used herself to block his path to prevent him from leaving. “Big Brother Yin, where do you want to bring Shuiling ? Shuiling was drugged, she needs to go to the hospital now.”
