n“Yes, I regret this a lot.”

nUnexpectedly, Kang Ruicheng didn’t even hesitate to give Xu Youning a positive answer.

nXu Youning was stunned, and her look became confused.

nKang Ruicheng had not hesitated the least bit when she had been sent to work undercover. He didn’t leave her any room for objections.

nHe thought that his plan was almost perfect, so she had to carry it out.

nIn that case, what did he regret at the moment?

n“I’ve been thinking in the past few days, considering that sending you to work undercover close to Mu Sijue might have been a wrong decision.” Kang Ruicheng asked, “A Ning, have you ever regretted it?”

nXu Youning smiled bitterly and said, “Of course I regret it! My grandma wouldn’t have died accidentally if I hadn’t approached Mu Sijue, and I wouldn’t have lost my only family!”

nKang Ruicheng gently held her hand. “A Ning, I’m sorry.”

nHis voice was very soft as he tried to appease her.

nXu Youning shook her head. “I don’t need your apologies.”

nShe was serious. She didn’t need Kang Ruicheng’s apology.

nThe person who had killed her grandmother was Kang Ruicheng. She needed him to pay for it with his life, instead of uttering pointless sentences, like saying he was sorry.

nShe merely lied to Kang Ruicheng in respect to the answer for the previous question.

nIn fact, she didn’t regret working undercover around Mu Sijue, at all.

nIf she hadn’t approached him, she wouldn’t have become acquainted to Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi, let alone Xiao Yunyun.

nAfter so many days, Xiao Yunyun’s direct sentence to ask ‘Youning, how have you been doing recently?” Seeing her in the ward still warmed her heart.

nShe had become friends with many lovely people because she had approached Mu Sijue.

nShe understood what it felt like to really love someone because she had approached Mu Sijue.

nShe was full of hopes for living because of her love for Mu Sijue.

nAll of those weren’t things that Kang Ruicheng could not get her.

nIf she had to say something that she regretted, it was her decision to follow Kang Ruicheng a few years prior.

nKang Ruicheng hadn’t given her anything, nor did he help her parents get justice. On the contrary, it was Mu Sijue who had decisively sent the person who killed her parents to prison.

nHe had only taught her the cruelest rules of survival and killing.

nHowever, she wouldn’t have had a chance to approach Mu Sijue if she hadn’t followed Kang Ruicheng.

nOnly when she thought of this did she not think that her decision back then had been stupid.

nIt was as if the idols’ imperfections could be forgiven upon thinking of the encouragement and positive energy they brought her.

n“Don’t think too much. We can definitely avenge your grandma.” Kang Ruicheng put down Xu Youning’s trousers and told her, “Be careful when you take a shower. Don’t expose your wound to the water.”

n“Okay,” Xu Youning answered lightly. After hesitating for a moment, she continued to ask, “What’s your plan next?”

n“The original plan.” Kang Ruicheng’s tone was full of murderous intent. “I’ll have Shen Yuechuan lose his reputation first and then make Lu Boyan lose his right-hand man.”

nXu Youning shook her head and said, “You can’t hurt Yunyun.”

n“Xiao Yunyun is not my target,” Kang Ruicheng said lightly, “Even if what you imagined is true, Shen Yuechuan will find a way to leave Xiao Yunyun unaffected as long as he loves her. You don’t have to worry.”

nXu Youning couldn’t help sneering. “When things get out of hand, if Shen Yuechuan wants to ensure that Yunyun remains unhurt, he can only take all the blame upon himself. But in this way, Yuechuan will always carry an indelible black spot, and he will no longer be able to help Lu Boyan deal with things in the country. It is your ultimate goal, isn’t it?”

nKang Ruicheng curled his lips with satisfaction. “A Ning, you really know me well.”

n“You can’t do that!” Xu Youning roared angrily, “You promised me that you wouldn’t hurt my friend.”

n“I just referred to Su Jian’an, because I don’t want to hurt her either,” Kang Ruicheng said adamantly, “In order to help Xiao Yunyun, you risked going to the hospital and were imprisoned by Mu Sijue for quite a few days. You’ve done your best for Xiao Yunyun, and she should be satisfied!”

nXu Youning asked in a trembling voice, “So?”

n“You’ve done what you thought you should do. Of course, I have to do what I should do.” Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning’s face, and said as if he was either warning or persuading her, “Youning, we’re not walking on a bright and righteous path. Therefore, we can’t be too soft-hearted. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end.”

nXu Youning didn’t want to listen to Kang Ruicheng’s false reasoning. She got rid of his hands and turned to go upstairs.

nThere was only one thing that Kang Ruicheng had said correctly: she had done everything she could. Next, she would only be able to watch how Shen Yuechuan would deal with it.

nXu Youning made up her mind to throw the change of clothes into the trash can while she was taking a shower.

nShe admitted that she was attached to Mu Sijue’s smell, but Kang Ruicheng would later become suspicious if she kept his clothes.

n“Throw it away, then. It’s not a pity.”

nAnyway, she would go back to find Mu Sijue after killing Kang Ruicheng.

nIf Mu Sijue really liked her, not to mention a suit of Mu Sijue’s clothes, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to ask for Mu Sijue himself!

nWell, what was Mu Sijue doing at the moment?

nShe didn’t hesitate to jump out of the car and escape. Was he angry or sad?

nOnly Mu Sijue knew the answer.

nIn fact, compared with being angry and sad, Mu Sijue was more worried.

nThere was clearly something wrong with Xu Youning’s body, and it seemed that she didn’t want him to know.

nWhat was she afraid of? What was she hiding from him?

nDid Kang Ruicheng know she was sick?

nWould she go through a check-up or receive treatment after she went back?

nCountless questions emerged in Mu Sijue’s mind, and he desperately wanted to know the answers.

nHowever, he didn’t want to admit that he was awfully concerned about Xu Youning.

nShe was just a spy who had deceived and betrayed him. Why did he spend so much time and energy on her? Why did he care about her life and death?

nJust because he liked her?

nWell, there were too many women who were sexier and funnier than Xu Youning in that world.”

nHe admitted that he was indeed interested in her.

nHowever, he didn’t have to have only Xu Youning by his side.

nAfter leaving the villa, Mu Sijue’s car sped all the way to the Summit Clubhouse like a gust of wind.

nThat club belonged to Lu Enterprises. Only those who had received the invitation could become members. The stricter its membership requirements were, the more frightening the names on the membership list were.

nMu Sijue was not on the membership list, but all the staff in the club knew that given his status as Lu Boyan’s good friend, he was the most important VIP in the club.

nThe manager went out to greet him. Without Mu Sijue’s asking, he directly arranged for the most beautiful girl in the club to accompany him. He didn’t forget to remind her, “Mr. Mu doesn’t seem to be in high spirits. Take the initiative.”

nThe girl was very obedient. After entering the room, she greeted Mu Sijue in a sweet voice, then sat down and took the initiative to kiss his lips.

nAt first glance, the girl’s appearance was much better than Xu Youning’s, and her skills were even better in comparison.

nShe was better than Xu Youning in every way.

nHowever, Xu Youning kept haunting him like a ghost.

nMu Sijue grabbed the back of the girl’s head and tried to indulge in it so as to drive Xu Youning’s figure out of his mind.

nThe girl thought she had succeeded in pleasing Mu Sijue, so she boldly straddled him and moaned softly. She even made one of her skirt’s shoulder straps fall, and her impressive upper body clung to Mu Sijue’s body.

nAlthough Mu Sijue’s eyes were closed, he was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

nThe only thing that was not calm was probably his mind. Xu Youning’s every frown, smile and movement had been edited into a movie, which was played in his mind, scene by scene.

nHe didn’t even know how to make it stop, let alone drive Xu Youning out of his mind.

nHe impatiently pushed the girl away. “Get out.”

n“Mr. Mu…” The girl thought that her skills weren’t good enough, so she got closer to Mu Sijue. “Give me another chance, I…”

nMu Sijue’s face was as ghastly as a stormy sky, and he shouted coldly, “Get out!”

nHe never liked persons who thought they were smart, such as… Xu Youning.

nXu Youning was like a curse lingering in his mind. Mu Sijue finally surrendered, then left the club and returned to the villa.

nSince he couldn’t avoid it, it was for the better to go back.

nHe had to go back and resolve this.

nMore than half of the night had passed, and a brand new dawn would soon arrive.

nThe next morning, Shen Yuechuan received a call from Ah Guang, saying that Xu Youning had escaped and he didn’t know how Mu Sijue was at the moment.

nShen Yuechuan dialed Mu Sijue’s number in a hurry, but no one answered.

nHe got up, changed his clothes, and asked the driver to take him to Mu Sijue’s villa. Jie told him that Mu Sijue was still sleeping.

nShen Yuechuan couldn’t help asking curiously, “How did Xu Youning escape?”

nMu Sijue had clearly said that he didn’t intend to let Xu Youning go this time.

nSince he had said that, according to Mu Sijue’s style, he should have been perfectly able to keep her in check. How did Xu Youning find the opportunity to run away?

nJie sighed and said, “I don’t know if he was too concerned about her to keep calm…” He told Shen Yuechuan the whole story of Xu Youning’s escape. Then he couldn’t help sighing. “We were all shocked when Seventh Brother came down with Xu Youning in his arms, because we had never seen him panic like that. People who don’t know the truth would probably think that Xu Youning was doomed.”

nShen Yuechuan thought about it and became more and more suspicious. “Mu Qi just drove Xu Youning to the hospital without any defensive countermeasures?”

n“Defense?” Jie couldn’t help complaining, “Seventh Brother was so anxious he forgot to lock the car door, so Xu Youning had a chance to jump out of the car. Besides, he drove so fast that I couldn’t catch up with him. I don’t understand why she ran away. Seventh Brother was so worried about her. Even if she stayed, Seventh Brother wouldn’t have done anything to her.”

nShen Yuechuan didn’t speak.

nXu Youning was very powerful. In that world, Mu Sijue might be the only person who could trap her.

nHowever, she could easily escape from his grasp.

nIt wasn’t because she was very powerful, but because…

nShe was Mu Sijue’s weak point.

nThat was called—

nEverything had its vanquisher.
