Late night reading, please turn on the night mode for a better reading experience~

ous. He Lao Tai (grandmother) was old and might not be familiar with new things as much as they were. Li Yiping knew exactly how dangerous it could be. Those people who wouldn't hold back their words...Du Caiyi let out a sigh of relief, feeling a glimmer of hope. She stood up and, in a rare display of kindness and warmth, walked towards Rong Feiwu, saying...

"Welcome back!"

At the same time, he squeezed out a smile.

This attitude didn't make Rong Feiwu feel any better, instead it made him even more disgusted. After all, he was called back by Rong Ling and knew about the police visiting and Rong Ling cooperating with their investigation. If it were a minor issue, Rong Ling wouldn't have called him!

This woman, she's going to die if she doesn't stir things up!

Feng Wu directly glared at Du Caixin with a glance, then strode past her. Du Caixin was taken aback and couldn't understand what had happened. Then, seeing Feng Wu walk straight towards Rong Ling, her heart skipped a beat.

Rong Fei landed on the sofa and looked at Rong Ling, his face somewhat sullen. He was angry. He had worked hard outside, but the woman in his house was still restless, causing trouble for him.

Only then did Rong Ling, who had been silent all along, speak.

"

Ms. Du told the police that Li Lanqiu had hinted to her before her death, saying, 'My wife wants to kill me.' Her intention is very clear; she wanted to frame my wife and implicate me!

"

"No—" Du Caiyi's heart skipped a beat, her face changed. She didn't expect Rong Ling to put it so plainly.

But Rong Ling ignored her directly and continued in a slightly cold tone. "You know the current situation of the Rong family, there are too many external threats, so I absolutely won't allow internal turmoil. You are clear about the family rules of the Rong family. In times of great crisis, our own people are absolutely not allowed to betray each other. Mrs. Du's actions have already harmed the entire Rong family and touched my bottom line. I hand her over to you, handle it well. If you don't satisfy me, then I will do it myself!"

This statement was devoid of any emotion. He issued this command as a homeowner, not as a son. He called Du Caiyi "Ms. Du," rather than the previous "Aunt." He also didn't call Rong Fei-wu "Dad." From beginning to end, it was just "you," not even "Sir" with any respect.

After the Rong Qi-keng incident, he's been like this.

From the very beginning, Rong Fei Wu couldn't accept it, then he became angry, secretly hoping for something to change, and now he feels helpless. Along this journey, he has realized that there is almost no affection between him and his son. Though his son doesn't acknowledge him as his father, he knows that he will always be his son!

"What your aunt did today was wrong, and I will handle it properly!"

“Where did I go wrong” Du Caiyi was furious. Rong Ling passed judgment on her with just a few words, and her husband didn't even ask her, directly agreeing with Rong Ling. This was unacceptable to her. That child was merely illegitimate, and she was his wife! She had been with him for so many years!

"I only told the police the truth!"

"Du Caiyi, you are a smart person!"

Rong Fei Wu turned his face, looking at her with a different kind of sharpness in his eyes. This was someone who had once been the head of the family; his intelligence and authority were undeniable. As Lin Meng said, Rong Ling had singled out Rong Fei Wu to handle business matters alone, separating him from the clan's affairs. It really was a good move. Rong Fei Wu now saw things clearly, not easily swayed or misled. This was one manifestation of the success of this measure.

They are old married couple, Du Caiyi's thoughts were seen through by Rong Lingdian. Rong Feiwu could understand it clearly. Their eldest son was sent to Africa, hasn't this woman learned her lesson! He had told her long ago not to get involved with that fake Li Lanqiu, but she didn't listen at all. He didn't bother arguing with her, let her go. That fake Li Lanqiu ended up dead, and she still hasn't woken up! She's still trying to justify herself!

She, Du Caiyi, was once the mistress of the house after all. She had handled family affairs and dabbled in many business deals. With her intelligence and experience, she couldn't possibly be unaware of how those words would cause trouble for Lin Meng! As the former mistress of the house, she held influence both internally within the Rong family and the entire Yantong Group, as well as externally, representing the Rong family with a certain degree of power. Her words, therefore, carry significant weight. Internally, they would sow seeds of doubt about Lin Meng, leading to disunity among the family members. Externally, they would create suspicion that this wasn't the Rong family's overall attitude towards Lin Meng, but rather one of distant suspicion and apprehension.

But who is Lin Meng!

She is now Rong Ling's wife, and Rong Ling is the head of the Rong family. Lin Meng is, therefore, the mistress of the Rong family. The words and deeds of the mistress are subject to suspicion from both inside and outside the family, which is definitely not good news for the entire family. Moreover, many people covet the Rong family right now. When the Rong family should be united as one, she comes to pit Lin Meng against her. Isn't this exposing their weaknesses and giving their opponents a chance to strike!

Simply stupid, incredibly foolish!

He's clearly telling Du Caiyi, "You're a smart person," and letting her know that he understands what she's truly thinking. Because she's intelligent, she shouldn't be unaware of the consequences of deliberately saying these things. If she doesn't want to cause trouble, as the former mistress, she should absolutely know that this kind of statement should never even leave her lips.

Du Caiyi's face changed again, turning a bit pale. Her fingertips were tightly clenched together, twisting slightly.

"I'm just telling the truth!"

gritting her teeth, she still looked stubborn. She gave him the cold shoulder, turning her eyes away from Rong Fei Wu.

Such a stubborn look made Rong Fei Wu simply not want to waste any more words with her, so he directly assured Rong Ling.

"I will imprison her until the matter of Fake Li Lanqiu is resolved!"

His sword eyebrows, as dark as ink, were raised high, indicating Ling's dissatisfaction.

But Du Caoyi thought such punishment was utterly inexplicable and excessive.

"What! I'm just telling the truth!" She shouted, a little out of breath and flustered. Gao Ya was already far away from her. "In this world, are you not allowed to speak the truth anymore! You can't lock me up, Rong Fei Wu, that's not fair!"

"Just keep quiet!" Rong Feiwu roared, his forehead veins bulging. He had been busy all day and was tired, so he didn't want to hear anyone making noise, which made him feel irritated.

"Need I point out your mistakes to these two juniors in front of you"

As soon as the menacing threat came out of Fei Wu's mouth, Du Caiyi's words died in her throat. She opened her mouth wide, widened her eyes, and looked like a goldfish, puffed up with anger.

She was a smart person, so she took a deep breath and quickly calmed down.

"Why" she questioned coldly. "Rong Ling and Lin Meng's relationship is what Rong Ling himself messed up. He found a mistress, causing quite a stir. Now he doesn't allow anyone to say anything about it I was merely stating a fact, how did that harm Lin Meng If anyone truly harmed her, it's Rong Ling, isn't it Everyone knows they were almost at the point of divorce. If not for that fake Li Lanqiu suddenly dying, perhaps their marriage would have ended soon anyway. And is Rong Ling truly a capable head of the family Look at what he's done since taking over. Has he truly saved our Rong family All I see is that our Rong family has become worse and worse under his leadership. A person like this doesn't deserve to be the head of the family, and you shouldn't listen to him and try to punish me!"

When it came to this, Du Caiyi's confidence surged. She slightly raised her chin and looked at Rong Ling arrogantly.

"I truly don't understand, how could you have brought him back then and thought he was the hope of the Rong family --"

"Shut up!" Rong Fei interrupted her.

Du Caiyi, however, persisted in speaking on. "If I may say so, back then—"

Rong Feiwu suddenly leaned forward and snatched up an ashtray, throwing it at Du Caiyi. Du Caiyi was startled, letting out a shriek as she hurriedly dodged. The ashtray smashed onto the ground with a loud "crack," shattering into pieces. The edges of the fragments glittered menacingly, looking like sharp daggers. Du Caiyi imagined those knife-like shards piercing her body --

She couldn't help but tremble, her face pale and flushed. Before she could even be angry, Rong Feiwu scolded her first.

"If you don't speak up, no one will treat you like a mute! Keep talking nonsense, and I'll make you regret it!"

This man has grown older, and his temper has flared. Coupled with Rong Fei Wu's rather rough year, his temper is becoming increasingly evident. If he could slap Du Cai Yi back then, then what he said just now, he would absolutely be able to do. He has given his wife respect, but that respect isn't about letting her tail wag in the air.

Since Rong Ling returned to take charge of the household, what he did on the surface was indeed as Du Caiyi said, it didn't look good. But if you hadn't intervened in this situation, you wouldn't know how deep it really was. Rong Ling didn't elaborate on how this situation would eventually unfold, but with his experience as the head of the household for so many years, he could see the hidden mysteries within it.

This mystery, Rong San should know about it, Rong Qi probably knows as well, and some others may also know a little. But he is Rong Ling's father, why doesn't Rong Ling tell him anything He has to use his own brain to guess, isn't that because he, as his father, has chilled his heart Isn't that because he doesn't trust him, as his father ! But look now, one by one in the family, they have left, and another is about to go. In such a confused state, can Rong Ling rest assured and tell him everything!

It's not Rong Ling's fault for distrusting, it's just that this family is no good!

"Shut up!"

Once again, Le Yi glared fiercely at Du Caiyi before Rong Feiwu sat down.

"

‘Lock her up until the Rong family matter is resolved!’ The command was absolute and chillingly cold, coming from Rong Ling. ‘She talks too much and is too foolish, she’ll cause trouble!’

"

Du Caiyi's eyes swelled even more.

"Don't any of you dare tell me what to do!" she defiantly declared.

A raging fire burned in her eyes, she wished she could rip Rong Ling to shreds.

Rong Ling's gaze, sharp and sudden, landed on her. It felt as if his intensity had materialized into a blade, the tip aimed directly at her throat. She suddenly felt a tightness in her throat, reminiscent of when Rong Ling had gripped her neck before, and the sting of each slap that followed. Memories flooded back, bringing a dull ache to her face.

That memory is too painful, too humiliating!

At that time, she was haughty, but deep down, she was a little afraid of Rong Ling. This man could do anything!

She had become somewhat timid, dropping her eyes to avoid his dangerous gaze while mumbling softly.

"Alright, if the police come again, I won't say anything about Lin Meng, right"

Is this her concession!

>>

Rong Ling's gaze, devoid of warmth.

"Your son-in-law, as a leader at the Land Bureau for so many years, has embezzled at least millions. By the law, he should be sentenced to life imprisonment!"

Du Caiyi gasped in surprise, staring at Rong Ling incredulously!

Rong Ling smiled slightly, still without warmth, but it was the smile of a death god.

Feng Fei frowned. "Rong Ling, don't do this!"

Rong Ling ignored him, still looking at Du Caiyi. He was sarcastic and warning all at once.

"Why can't you learn your lesson You got beaten up last time, and so quickly the scars have forgotten the pain. You are so carefree that I seriously doubt if you are even the same person. Did you get plastic surgery while the real Du Caiyi is already dead!"

Du Caiyi's face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly. Rong Ling's eyes darkened when he said the word "death," and she hadn't missed it. He might actually do it!

Rong Ling's lips curled up again, wickedly like Satan. "I'm not like you, I would never betray my own people at this time, but your son-in-law is an outsider. You make me unhappy, and I can't let you be too happy, can I"

It was so faint, so light, like the sound of ice colliding, yet like a sword that cuts through iron, it slowly sliced through silk. Though gentle, with just a slight touch, even the most supple silk would break silently.

"I... accept... confinement!" She uttered these five words with great difficulty, her face as pale as a ghost.

The son is already half a cripple, her daughter, she absolutely cannot let anything happen to her!

"That's too cheap!" Rong Ling said coldly.

Du Caiyi's face began to twist slightly, a mixture of fear and anger. To be pushed to this point by a junior, she felt like she had lived her life in vain!

"What else do you want!" She wasn't someone who would stoop low, even after being punished, that spine of hers was still as straight as ever.

Rong Ling stood up and said casually.

"Psychological compensation, take a look!"

Du Caiyi's chest heaved with terror. She was furious. Rong Ling, that vampire, was back to drain her blood! He'd already extorted a fortune from her last time! After the last hemorrhage, she barely had any money left. The Ya Dong stock in her hand had been plummeting for days, resulting in heavy losses. Him asking for money now was like biting into her flesh!

The number is too small to catch Rong Ling's eye!

Her fist clenched tightly. The hatred in her eyes for Rong Ling was uncontainable.

"She will give!" Rong Fei said with a dark face.

We can't let Du Caiyi and Rong Ling fight anymore, otherwise, she'll be devoured by Rong Ling, leaving nothing but bones!

Having said that, Rong Fei wu gave Du Caiyi a warning look, silently conveying the message to her to keep quiet and not say any more.

Du Caiyi's silver teeth were about to be ground to dust, her entire body trembling with suppressed anger. Yet she had to bear it and remain silent.

"Just transfer the money to my account!" Rong Ling looked at Du Caiyi and smiled faintly, a smile that resembled a devil. "Let me remind you again, my woman, I can bully, but others, not even a single hair must be touched!"

A chilling gaze, like a venomous snake, fixed on Du Caixin for what seemed like ten or so seconds before Rong Ling finally withdrew his stare.

"Money, get here ASAP! My patience is wearing thin! Mengmeng, let's go!"

Turning back, he gracefully extended his hand and pulled Lin Meng up. It was as if the cruel person who had just acted like a demon wasn't him at all!

Leading Lin Meng, he strode away proudly!

As they brushed past each other, Rong Ling stood with his back to her, a mere meter away. Du Caiyi suddenly felt weak in the knees and swayed, almost collapsing!

This is scary!

Rong Ling and Lin Meng had completely left the room. Rong Fei Wu looked at Du Cai Yi's trembling appearance, feeling both annoyed and sympathetic.

"Can she move!"

Du Caiyi bit her lip, remaining silent. Her lowered brows gave her an appearance of quiet submission.

Rong Fei glared at her, his anger mounting.

"You look like this, aren't you done with everything Bowing your head low, can you die! If you keep going like this, even if you have more money, you'll be bankrupt! I told you, I don't have money, this mental compensation, you pay for it yourself, and also remember this lesson well. Also, think carefully about your good son-in-law, don't be stingy with this money!"

Du Caiyi gritted her teeth, clenching them so hard her lips were almost bleeding.

Rong Fei's martial arts energy swirled around him as he sat there, his face a mask of fury. After a moment of thought, he realized that this woman was still prone to fits of madness, potentially destroying their home. He began lecturing her, one reprimand after another, until she cowered like a grandchild, her face so humiliated it looked like a monkey's rear end. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to resist!

Rouring's gaze, lasting for over ten seconds, scared away her momentary stubbornness and pride!

Overall, Du Caiyi was a thief who didn't get caught and ended up losing nothing. On the way home in the car, Lin Mengxiang daydreamed and couldn't help but smile, looking at her husband with stars in her eyes.

"When did you ask someone to check on Cao Shijian"

Cao Shijian is Du Caiyi's son-in-law.

"A long time ago."

Lin Meng's eyes were filled with admiration. "Husband, how did I find you becoming more and more amazing!"

He chuckled softly, not at all humble. "My husband is amazing anyway."

She giggled. "I give up!"

He imparted his experience to her. "When dealing with such people, one must be prepared in advance. The moment her tail twitches even slightly upwards, immediately silence her. This way, she'll learn a lesson. Also, strike the snake at its seven inches. When punishing someone, you must focus on their weakness. Once found, don't hesitate. Besides, our security company isn't just for show. Security is not just about being a bodyguard; it can be expanded in many ways, such as investigating information. I had them investigate Cao Shejian, both to train them and for my own convenience. Xiao Quai, if you need anything, just tell Miao Qing!"

Lin Meng hummed.

He continued, "In situations like today, if you don't even have Cao Shijian's evidence of corruption in your hands, it doesn't matter. Just threaten him directly. Cao Shijian has been at the Land Bureau for so long, and with millions in bribes, that's definitely just the tip of the iceberg. You know a thing or two about official matters, you don't need to think too much about these things, you can deduce it yourself. With this statement alone, you can intimidate them. But when threatening others, your aura needs to be strong. The more confident and composed you appear, the easier it is to scare them. People with guilty consciences are generally the easiest to frighten."

Lin Meng listened, shook her head and smiled. "You put it that way, I feel a little sorry for Du Caiyi. It seems like no matter what, she's going to fall for you!"

“This man deserves to be abused!” Rong Ling’s tone was laced with disgust.

"You're still asking her for spiritual compensation, haha…"

Lin Meng couldn't help but laugh, her slender body leaning half against him. He reached out and pulled her closer, letting her lean against his chest.

"I wonder how much she's planning to compensate"

"Here's the money, I'll buy you some candy!" He said it just like he was coaxing a child.

She scoffed. “No, don’t waste your money on her, it’s just insulting!”

You treat this as a victory, you get angry with her every dollar you spend!

"No way, I'm not happy about it!"

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. When I'm done with my current tasks, I'll set up a fund to help orphaned children!"

"This is great!" Lin Meng immediately clapped her hands and her eyes lit up.

A smirk played on his lips, knowing she'd love it. Seeing her fall silent for a moment, he guessed she was thinking about the fund again, so he steered her attention back to him.

"Did you hear what Captain Wan just said to me"

Her beautiful eyes immediately looked over.

He loved the way she looked at him, her eyes full of him, wanting nothing else! family...In the end,one cannot escape!This time, the Rong family has helped them! As a person, one must have some bottom line and not be ungrateful. The Rong family, they absolutely cannot take this...
