Chapter 638: Chapter 638: Killing Intent
Rong Ling suppressed his inner anger and tucked Xiaoyi in.
Seeing her brother return, Xiaoyi’s sense of security slowly came back, and she finally calmed down, wrapped herself in the blanket, and closed her eyes.
Rong Ling sat by the bed and did not move.
He didn’t know exactly what that bastard had done to Xiaoyi.
It was clear that Xiaoyi was greatly frightened, so he didn’t dare to ask more.
Only when Xiaoyi fell asleep did Rong Ling slowly stand up. He looked at Xiaoyi and unexpectedly saw a glistening tear at the corner of her eye.
He bent down and gently wiped the tear mark from the corner of her eye with a heart full of sorrow.
He knew that there were many grievances in her heart that she hadn’t spoken of.
Xiaoyi rarely cried, and even when she did, she would always hide under the covers and cry silently, never making a sound.
Perhaps it’s the shadow of past domestic violence.
In the past, their father always hit her and scolded her. The more she cried, the harsher he scolded and the harder he hit.
He was different from her.
He was a boy who grew up, so even if their father wanted to hit him, he would fight back, but Xiaoyi was a girl, so gentle and without any room to fight back, so she suffered a lot physically from a young age.
Over time, she learned to “be good.” Even if she was beaten until she bruised all over, she wouldn’t cry out loud.
As the saying goes, children who are more sensible than their peers from a young age often have an unhappy childhood.
Xiaoyi was such a child.
Rong Ling gently placed the doll that Lin Qi had given her by the pillow, left a lamp on for Xiaoyi, and exited the room.
He left the dormitory, locked the door behind him, and headed towards the colleagues’ dormitory.
The dormitory established by the Li Family was located not far from the company.
There were both communal dormitories and single dormitories.
The single dormitories were more like small one-bedroom apartments, while the communal dormitories typically consisted of three bedrooms and a living room, with each room divided into two beds, some with two double beds separated by a nightstand, others with bunk beds.
Rong Ling knew who the strange uncle Xiaoyi mentioned was.
Ma Li.
He was also in the security department, a security officer with a slightly higher rank because he was tall and strong, and looked acceptable, usually responsible for standing guard at the booth.
When Rong Ling first joined, Ma Li took good care of him. He thought of him as a good person but was caught off guard. Bad people won’t have “bad” engraved on their faces!
Rong Ling went to Ma Li’s dormitory, pressed the doorbell, but there was no response for a long time.
He knocked on the door, and with each knock, he thought of Xiaoyi’s fragile and timid eyes, and his heart felt like being stabbed!
He gradually lost patience, suddenly lifted his foot, and kicked the door hard!
With a “bang”!
The door was actually kicked open by him, shaking on its hinges.
Rong Ling stepped through the door.
The loud bang finally alarmed the people inside the room.
A few shirtless men rushed out: “Who is it!?”
As soon as they saw Rong Ling, they looked at each other: “Rong Ling!?”
Rong Ling gritted his teeth and asked, “Where’s Ma Li?”
Several colleagues saw Rong Ling’s gloomy face and casually pointed to a tightly closed door.
Rong Ling clenched his fist, walked to the room door, and with no patience to knock politely, kicked the door open directly with a “bang”!
Ma Li was lying on the bed, playing games with a headset on. The loud noise jolted him upright from the bed!
“Rong… Rong Ling…”
When Ma Li saw him, his face changed, and his eyes dodged, perhaps out of a guilty conscience!
Rong Ling walked over, grabbed his hair, and dragged him off the bed!
“Ah!”
Ma Li let out a cry of pain, rolling and crawling up from the ground!
The door was crowded with colleagues.
Ma Li was both embarrassed and panicked, obviously guilty, but pretended to be calm, angrily asking, “What are you doing?! It’s so late, suddenly barging into my dormitory looking for a fight, did I provoke you?”
Rong Ling strode forward and grabbed his throat, questioning, “What did you do to Xiaoyi?”
Ma Li replied irritably, “It was you who asked me to pick her up from school! Since we’re all colleagues, I kindly offered to pick your sister up from school for you! You’re acting all accusatory, barging into my dorm in the middle of the night! Just spit it out, what do you claim I’ve done to her! What could I have possibly done to her!”
With a “thud”!
Rong Ling punched him hard in the face.
Ma Li didn’t expect him to punch him directly and was left covering his face, eyes wide and speechless!
Rong Ling said, “I warn you, if you think you can bully us just because my sister and I are alone, then you’re wrong! Ma Li, I’ll give you one more chance. Tell me clearly what you did to her! If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you!”
Ma Li gasped in horror!
He saw terrifying murderous intent in Rong Ling’s eyes!
The colleagues outside the door also sensed something was amiss!
This didn’t seem like an ordinary colleague dispute; they could see Rong Ling was really intent on doing harm, and they panicked!
Rong Ling was still young, perhaps lacking in restraint, and his punches weren’t controlled at all!
If something fatal indeed happens, it would be terrible!
So, they rushed over.
Rong Ling looked up and said coldly, “Don’t meddle! This is between him and me! Either call the police or close the door, don’t interfere!”
The security captain said, “Xiao Rong, calm down! No matter what happened, it’s not worth a life!”
Rong Ling gritted his teeth and said, “Even if it takes a life, I’d trade one for another!”
The security captain said, “You say one life for another, but what about your sister? Besides you, your sister has no other relatives! Can you really bear to leave her alone in this world?”
Rong Ling said, “If she suffers grievances and I can’t protect her as a brother, then it’s better not to have me as a brother!”
After saying this, he punched Ma Li hard again: “Speak up!”
With just two punches, Ma Li was already reeling, waving his hands wildly, his entire body trembling with fear!
He felt that if he didn’t come clean, Rong Ling would really kill him!
He immediately said, “I’ll talk! I’ll talk…”
Even though the truth was difficult to speak of, against Rong Ling’s murderous eyes, Ma Li couldn’t resist, and confessed everything: “I… I picked Xiaoyi up from school today, and initially, I was going to leave after taking her back to your dorm, but… Xiaoyi asked me to sit on the sofa for a while, even poured me a glass of water. I looked at her for a while and found her too cute… So… I couldn’t help myself… and kissed her…”
Rong Ling’s eyes were like a blood-stained knife: “Where did you kiss her?”
