Patting Ling Mu on the back soothingly, Qiu Zhenyang invited Dong Qiulan out mercilessly at the same time. “Auntie please go back, or I will call security.”

The aggressive pheromones rushed straight at Dong Qiulan, causing the latter to pale instantly, unable to utter a single word.

Alpha pheromones have an absolute suppressing effect on omegas, not to mention his deliberate aggression, making Dong Qiulan unable to refute at all.

She was forced to walk towards the door with stiff steps, and didn’t relax until was more than ten meters away from the villa.

“Crap, what should I do now?” Dong Qiulan couldn’t help regretting what happened just now. That kid Ling Mu was too stubborn, and the task Lin Zhiyuan gave her was even more difficult to complete now that he had the support of the young master of the Qiu family.

Twisting her waist as she strode towards the school gate, Dong Qiulan scratched her head and posed for passersby.

In fact, after receiving a call from Lin Zhiyuan and hearing that Ling Mu and Qiu Zhenyang were getting better, Dong Qiulan thought of another idea. That is, to get rid of the relationship with the Lin family and focus on letting Ling Mu marry into the Qiu family. But without the Lin family’s backing, the Qiu family may not be willing to accept a Ling Mu who has no background, and the mother-in-law of the Qiu family is not comparable to the second mistress of the Lin family. her power and status would be completely different.

And with Qiu Zhenyang’s current attitude towards her, even if Ling Mu can marry into the Qiu family, she won’t benefit. It’s better to act according to Lin Zhiyuan’s wishes.

Thinking of this, Dong Qiulan decided to plan carefully how to make Ling Mu agree to her request.

After Dong Qiulan left and Qiu Zhenyang sat down on the sofa with Ling Mu, someone came down the stairs.

This is the first time that Qiu Zhenyang has seen Ling Dang looking so mature. A child should be innocent, but her eyes were full of gloom and heartbreak.

Dong Qiulan’s scolding was so loud that Ling Dang could hear it. Hiding upstairs, she listened to her mother belittling them and use herself to blackmail her brother.

“Ling Dang, come here.” Qiu Zhenyang didn’t say anything else, and gestured at Ling Dang with his free hand. Ling Mu’s pale face was lifted from Qiu Zhenyang’s neck and shoulders, and he also looked at his sister.

Ling Dang pursed her lips, and threw her small body into Ling Mu’s arms. Qiu Zhenyang hugged the two of them tightly, and pulled them into a warm and generous embrace.

Kissing the top of Ling Mu’s hair, Qiu Zhenyang thought to himself:

I will definitely make this brother and sister pair happy.

—–

They thought Dong Qiulan would give up after being kicked out by Qiu Zhenyang. Who knew that she would call Ling Mu almost every day for the next few days to persuade him to agree to Lin Zhiyuan’s conditions and not lose the opportunity.

At the beginning, Ling Mu would answer the phone and hang up after a few words. Later, he directly blocked all news of his mother. Ling Mu even shielded Ling Dang’s terminal to prevent Dong Qiulan from disturbing her.

Qiu Zhenyang was restless the past few days, worried that the plot of Dong Qiulan selling Ling Dang to a human trafficker will happen. Although the timeline doesn’t match, and Dong Qiulan has not fallen to that point, the situation wasn’t optimistic.

Not to mention that Lin Zhiyuan contacted Dong Qiulan again with those conditions. The situation changed due to his transmigration. The man wanted to borrow Ling Mu to board the Qiu family boat, however, the fact that Lin Zhiyuan could hold back after Lin Nuo and Lin Yuhan’s matters showed just how shrewd he was.

No matter how worried he was, Qiu Zhenyang couldn’t tell Ling Mu. He could only accompany him to pick up Ling Dang every day. He also asked Ling Mu to call Ling Dang’s head teacher and tell them about Dong Qiulan, saying that there was something wrong with Dong Qiulan’s condition, and she shouldn’t be picking up Ling Dang.

It’s a pity that after all of this, they didn’t count on Dong Qiulan daring to stop the school bus in the street, and take Ling Dang away regardless of the driver Qiu Zhenyang had entrusted to stop her.

“I’m really sorry. The lady brought a knife and threatened the other children, so I could only let her take Ling Dang away.” The driver called Qiu Zhenyang immediately after with a very regretful tone. How can a mother bring a knife to stop a car in order to pick up her child? Ling Dang’s situation is fraught with misfortune rather than fortune!

Gritting his teeth, Qiu Zhenyang comforted the driver first, and immediately notified Ling Mu after hanging up.

“What the hell is she trying to do? F*ck!” Ling Mu slammed a fist on the table, unable to hold back his rage.

Is she really going to threaten him with his sister’s life? Why? Ling Dang isn’t just his sister, but also Dong Qiulan’s biological daughter!

Ling Mu gritted his teeth and opened the terminal, removing the previous block, and called Dong Qiulan.

Beside him, Qiu Zhenyang silently opened his terminal, and sent out several messages.

After a while, Dong Qiulan answered the phone with a smile. “My good son, finally willing to call me?”

“Where is Ling Dang?” Ling Mu’s voice was as cold as ice.

“She’s staying with me. Eating well, enjoying life, you don’t need to worry.”

“I’ll ask again, where is Ling Dang?”

Ling Mu slammed his fist on the wall, and Qiu Zhenyang’s heart trembled at the thud. He hurriedly went over and pressed his hand over, mouthing the words, ‘Don’t be impulsive, ask clearly first, finding Ling Dang is most important!’

Dong Qiulan laughed wildly. The more anxious Ling Mu was, the happier she was. “Remember what I said before? As long as you and Qiu Zhenyang have a complete mark, and you come to the Lin family to express your willingness to be the heir of the Lin family, I’ll let Ling Dang go.”

“If you want to be a wealthy lady, you can marry on your own merits. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous to use your children as bargaining chips?” Ling Mu was really angry.

But Dong Qiulan didn’t eat this set. He didn’t know how hard she worked to achieve this goal. If it can really be achieved, why wait until now?

“Ling Dang is now living comfortably with me in Lin’s house. I have asked the teacher for a leave of absence from the school to let her rest at home. I’ll give you three days to think about it. If you really can’t figure it out, then let it be. Anyway, Ling Dang can get married after a few more years.”

Dong Qiulan said these words in a casual and ordinary tone, as if they were chatting normally, but her words made Ling Mu tremble. Huge fear enveloped his heart, and his fingertips became cold.

Qiu Zhenyang’s face was ashen. This woman completely lost her humanity. She was a lunatic, never giving up until her goals were met!

“I warn you, if you dare have any ideas on Ling Dang, even if I die, I will drag you to hell with me!” Ling Mu completely treated her as the enemy. An evil, abominable enemy that won’t even spare a child!

Dong Qiulan directly hung up. She lives in Lin’s house now, and has Ling Dang as a bargaining chip. Naturally, she has nothing to fear.

Ling Mu felt powerless facing the dead line. Clenching his jaw, he kicked the wall fiercely, and turned towards the door without hesitation.

“Wait, where are you going?” Qiu Zhenyang immediately followed and held onto his shoulder.

In fact, he already had a guess in his heart. But Ling Mu going there rashly wasn’t a solution at all.

Ling Mu threw off Qiu Zhenyang’s hand sullenly. “Go to Lin’s house.”

The expression of disgust on his face was too obvious. He was clearly swept away by anger, wanting to find Ling Dang back regardless of the consequences.

“You can’t go now. Since your mother has brought Ling Dang there, it means that things are under Lin Zhiyuan’s control. If you go unprepared, you will definitely fall into his trap.” Qiu Zhenyang’s frown deepened. After all, Ling Mu was still a student in his twenties. He didn’t have much social experience. How could he possibly win in a fight with an old fox like Lin Zhiyuan?

Ling Mu knew that Qiu Zhenyang was right, but how could he bear Ling Dang staying in such a hell any longer? Lin Yuhan just lost a leg, and should be waiting to seek revenge from Qiu Zhenyang and him. Ling Dang is simply a punching bag delivered to the door, and will definitely be bullied! If something happens to Ling Dang, Ling Mu will never forgive himself!

“I can’t let Ling Dang face the beasts of the Lin family alone!”

“Don’t worry, wait, I’ll go with you.” Qiu Zhenyang knew that no matter what he said to Ling Mu now, he wouldn’t listen. Taking him into his arms, he released pheromones to comfort him. Omegas will always rely on their alpha’s pheromones, not to mention that Ling Mu needs Qiu Zhenyang’s pheromones every day, making his dependence even deeper.

The warm and soft pheromone wrapped Ling Mu, and his trembling heart finally calmed down.

Now his mind is blank, he wants to take Ling Dang away, but he is weak and powerless. How can he fight against the wealthy Lin family by himself?

The person in his arms was in a daze, and Qiu Zhenyang took him to the sofa to sit down, occasionally smoothing Ling Mu’s thorns to ease his mood.

About ten minutes later, several messages came from Qiu Zhenyang’s terminal. He lowered his head and checked it carefully. After confirming the contents, his expression finally improved. Patting Ling Mu’s back, he said softly, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to pick up Ling Dang.”

Ling Mu’s head suddenly lifted, obviously excited. But he was still worried. “But the Lin family…”

“It doesn’t matter, if they don’t let her go, I naturally have a way to make them.” Qiu Zhenyang smiled, but his eyes filled with cold light.

The two left the dormitory together after making up a reason for leave with the counselor, and exited the school gate.

Just as they passed the gates and turned a corner, they met two teams of elite soldiers in military uniforms, rendering Ling Mu speechless.

“Brother!” Qiu Zhenyang was not surprised at all, and greeted the man in front of the lined up soldiers.

Qiu Haolin walked over with a smile, bumping fists with Qiu Zhenyang, and then looked at Ling Mu. “Hello, my name is Qiu Haolin. I’m Zhenyang’s brother.”

Ling Mu’s eyes widened slightly. He glanced at the two stars representing the position of lieutenant general on Qiu Haolin’s shoulder with excitement beyond words.

“Lieutenant General Qiu, my name is Ling Mu, it’s an honor to meet you!” Ling Mu straightened his back involuntarily. Being nurtured by his father since he was a child, Ling Mu has strong respect for soldiers, let alone ranked ones. Qiu Haolin! Moreover, his father was the adjutant of Qiu Haolin and Qiu Zhenyang’s father, General Qiu Zhang, which made Ling Mu feel even closer.

Qiu Haolin smiled and patted his shoulder, then looked at his younger brother. “Let’s go to Lin’s house now. After receiving your news, father contacted me as soon as possible, and even sent his personal guards. Come, let me open the way for you. Apart from those on missions, all the elites from the army are here. Just a mere Lin family, I want to see if they dare to stop us.”

For a moment, Qiu Haolin’s expression was exactly the same as that of Qiu Zhenyang earlier, with a knife hidden in his smile and a cold glow in his eyes.

Ling Mu was completely confused about the situation. Frowning, he looked at Qiu Zhenyang in silent inquiry.

Seeing that his brother had turned around and instructed the soldiers to enter the aircraft parked by the road, Qiu Zhenyang looked into Ling Mu’s eyes. “Didn’t I say I would go with you? It’s just a few more people, after all, the Lin family is cunning and insidious. Adequate preparations are necessary for Ling Dang and your safety.”

Ling Mu’s heart warmed, but his eyes were a little subtle when he looked at the soldiers.

What addition of a few people? Isn’t this adding a group of fighting machines? They’re the personal guard of Marshal Qiu Zhang! There are also the elites under Lieutenant General Qiu Haolin, each of whom is an excellent soldier, ranking in the top 10. Let alone a Lin family, even if there are ten more families, they don’t dare to stop them!

This time, Qiu Zhenyang pulled the entire Qiu family behind Ling Mu.

“Is this really okay?” Ling Mu still felt it was a little unreal sitting in the aircraft.

These warriors are heroes who defend their families and the country. Normally, they will only drive spaceships and mechas during war, so Ling Mu was inevitably uneasy seeing them here as support.

But he really couldn’t refuse Qiu Zhenyang’s kindness. After all, the Lin family would never take him seriously if there was no backing from these people.

“There’s nothing wrong.” Qiu Zhenyang took his hand, knowing that Ling Mu was shy and avoided his brother’s line of sight. “Did you forget what I said to you before? I asked you to give me a chance, and now I can prove to you that I can protect you and Ling Dang.”

Ling Mu pursed his lips tightly, not knowing how to answer.

“I’m not a decent gentleman. In order to get you, I will take advantage of such an opportunity and use various methods to make you unable to refuse. But don’t worry, I am definitely a person worthy for you to spend the rest of your life with!” Qiu Zhenyang confessed in a heartbeat with eyes gentle like water.

“Pfft—” The originally good atmosphere was broken up by an uncontrollable laugh. Qiu Zhenyang’s eyes twitched, and he looked at his brother expressionlessly.

“Sorry, I didn’t expect you to be so disgusting when it comes to love.” Qiu Haolin wiped his smile, turned his head and pretended not to listen.

Alas, as expected, he is getting old and can’t keep up with these young people~

QZY’s brother appears! Thank you Qiu Haolin for laughing at QZY and expressing our inner thoughts on QZY’s outrageous behaviour.
