"Hold on." The person standing beside the apparent leader called out to Yun Rong again. Under the pressure of the guns, Yun Rong slowly turned around.
"Is... is there anything else?" Yun Rong's scalp tingled.
"Don't worry, it's nothing major, just a thumbprint." Saying that, the man walked towards Yun Rong with a piece of paper. When Yun Rong saw the content, her heart beat even faster.
On the paper, the words "Contract of Life and Death" shone brightly, piercing Yun Rong's soul.
With trembling hands, Yun Rong pressed her finger onto the ink pad held by the other party, then placed her ink-stained finger on the paper.
"Alright, you can go now," the man finally released Yun Rong.
Yun Rong, with a stiff body, dragged the few heavy suitcases and left the room.
At this moment, Yun Rong felt like she had lost her soul, yet she gripped the suitcases in her hands tighter and tighter.
Then, only hatred remained in Yun Rong's heart. At this point, she had only one thought.
That was to kill Yun Shu Nian, and take the position of Young Madam Mu!
-------------------------------------
Walking down the mountain path, Yun Shu Nian was filled with the words the old grandmother had just spoken.
Yun Shu Nian realized that what the old grandmother had said was very true, and she missed Mu Qi deeply. It was clearly Mu Qi who had acted excessively, yet in her dreams, he had never been absent.
Yun Shu Nian quickened her pace.
Suddenly, her head ached, Yun Shu Nian's vision went black, and she collapsed.
When she opened her eyes again, it was still dim, and her hands felt pain from friction against a rough surface.
Creak—
A sound like a heavy iron gate being pushed open reached Yun Shu Nian's ears.
Immediately after, the lights in the room were turned on. The sudden brightness made Yun Shu Nian close her eyes.
After a moment, Yun Shu Nian opened her eyes. In front of her was Yun Rong's heavily made-up, viper-like face.
It seemed that because she had been reborn, Yun Rong had reached this point earlier.
"Yun Shu Nian, aren't you surprised?" Yun Rong lifted her hand and forcefully pinched Yun Shu Nian's chin.
"Do you know why I kidnapped you?"
"Because you are surnamed Yun, because you are married to Mu Qi, you stole my position!" Yun Rong's face was contorted and terrifying.
At this moment, Yun Rong looked at Yun Shu Nian's expressionless face and was very dissatisfied.
"Why aren't you crying? Why?" Yun Rong roared in dissatisfaction. She had suffered so much; why didn't Yun Shu Nian feel it? Why!
She wanted Yun Shu Nian to suffer ten thousand times more than she had!
Yun Rong's eyes widened, revealing more of the whites, making her look like a vengeful ghost full of resentment.
However, Yun Shu Nian remained calm and composed.
Yun Rong was completely driven mad by anger and called the men outside the door.
Those men were the very same ones who had tried to "bully" Yun Rong back then.
"Boss, what can we do for you?" the men asked casually, with their hands in their pockets.
After they had gone back yesterday, Yun Rong had unexpectedly gone to the bar again and found them.
The crowd was confused until Yun Rong placed a bundle of cash in front of them. Only then did they understand that Yun Rong wanted to hire them.
So today, they had followed Yun Rong to kidnap Yun Shu Nian.
"Don't you guys like women!"
"Come on, go for it. Here's one." Yun Rong pointed at Yun Shu Nian, her eyes glaring, like a lunatic.
The men, however, were unconcerned about Yun Rong's mental state. For people like them who lived on the fringes, money was all that mattered. Moreover, Yun Rong was pointing at such a beautiful face.
The men followed the direction of Yun Rong's finger and were immediately captivated by Yun Shu Nian.
Although Yun Shu Nian was tied to a pillar at this moment, her well-proportioned features and the undeniable noble aura emanating from her made people want to fall at her feet.
She was simply on a different level from Yun Rong!
Seeing the men drooling over Yun Shu Nian, Yun Rong's mood improved.
What she had suffered, Yun Shu Nian should also suffer.
The men slowly approached Yun Shu Nian, who tried to shrink herself into a ball.
Suddenly, the sound of a bullet hitting the ground echoed. Everyone present looked over.
It was Mu Qi!
Upon seeing him, Yun Rong was stunned for a moment, then immediately took a dagger from her pocket and held it against Yun Shu Nian's carotid artery.
"Don't move, or I'll slit Yun Shu Nian's throat with one slash."
It's over. Her plan had completely failed. Her dream of becoming Young Madam Mu was shattered. Mu Qi would not let her go.
Realizing this, Yun Rong was on the verge of collapse.
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shu Nian worriedly, observing if she was injured.
Even at this moment, she still hadn't received a single glance from Mu Qi. Why! Su Dan Novel Network
In a desperate gamble, Yun Rong had no more reservations. She pressed the knife against Yun Shu Nian's skin, and instantly, red blood flowed down the blade.
Mu Qi's gaze sharpened, and he then looked fiercely at Yun Rong: "What do you want?"
Yun Rong met Mu Qi's gaze lingeringly, and said slowly: "Me? I want you." Yun Rong's voice was like a lover's whisper.
Mu Qi frowned, unsure what Yun Rong was talking about.
"Mu Qi, have you forgotten? I am your true love." Yun Rong's words were filled with playful reproach.
As for the men, upon hearing Mu Qi's name, they completely lost their composure and hid in a corner, covering their heads.
"Mu Qi, how could you treat Yun Shu Nian as my replacement?" Yun Rong's tone became increasingly aggrieved.
The men looked at Yun Rong angrily. She had tricked them! Knowing they were wary of Mu Qi, she had still tricked them into kidnapping Mu Qi's woman!
Everyone's eyes widened slightly upon hearing Yun Rong's words, their minds reeling. Only Mu Qi's brow furrowed deeper.
"Mu Qi, have you forgotten how your hands touched my body? Forgotten our deep kisses countless times?" Yun Rong's tone became more and more aggrieved, as if she were about to cry.
"Mu Qi, you promised you would love me forever, that you would never leave me! How can you be so fierce to me now for a replacement!
Mu Qi, you can't betray me, you can't betray our love!"
At this moment, Yun Rong's eyes were teary, and she looked at Mu Qi with unwavering devotion, like a wronged young wife.
Everyone was utterly shocked. As Yun Shu Nian listened to Yun Rong's words, her hands clenched tighter and tighter, her knuckles turning white.
