carefully laid plans might all go to waste. The He family, while not as powerful as the Rong family, was a centuries-old clan with nearly a hundred years of accumulated experience. Their tactics were..."Du Caiyi!"
"Mom screamed, "Don't go too far! "
Du Caiyi simply let out a cold snort, with an icy smugness. Upon receiving the order, four tall men immediately rushed towards Lin Meng aggressively. Lin Meng swiftly grabbed the phone she had just put aside and held it up, shouting loudly --
"Don't move!"
But who would listen to her
Lin Meng wasn't flustered, and continued to shout loudly. "Du Caiyi, I have some good stuff of yours on my phone, so I suggest you tell your people to stay put, otherwise, I won't be polite. I have here..."
She reached out, a mischievous grin on her face, and shook the phone in her hand. "This here has everything you just did recorded, don't push me or I swear I'll release it!"
Du Caiyi let out a scoff, "Don't be ridiculous! What kind of phone can even send videos"
“Oh.” Lin Meng continued to laugh mischievously. “I forgot to tell you, my phone is very special. Rong Ling specially configured it for me, and his phone is a match for mine, which means I can’t send this video to anyone else, but I can send it to Rong Ling. And then—”
She let out a sly giggle. “I think if this video were to get out, the media would go crazy for it. Oh, no, maybe I could even sell it for a good price. Hmm, the current chairman’s wife and the previous one, both running wild at the former chairman’s house… that would definitely grab the audience’s attention, especially with Mrs. X's outfit right now…”
Lin Meng jokingly glanced at Du Caiyi's attire. Her phone, still clutched in her hand, diligently continued to capture the moment. This powerful smartphone had finally revealed its unique capabilities.
I think, Ms. Du, you don't need me to elaborate. You have plenty of experience and certainly know more about this than I do, right
Lin Meng wasn't a fool. She wouldn't be so naive as to confront Du Caoyi and her six companions with just herself and her mother Rong's strength, especially when four of them were tall and burly men, all because she couldn't swallow her pride in the moment. After quickly analyzing the situation, she came up with a solution. She called Rong Ling, intending to inform him about what had happened, but simultaneously, she opened the recording function on her phone, giving herself an opportunity to capture everything. When she was on the call with Rong Ling, the recording function started automatically. As a result, every action of Du Caoyi and her group was recorded on her phone!
Members of a big family are the most respectable and cannot afford to lose face. She wanted to use this method of forcing Du Caiyi to lose face to drive them away. Pouring porridge on Du Caiyi was something Lin Meng had planned all along. Anyone who gets splashed with that stuff will find it unbearable, so if they want to change their clothes, they'll have no choice but to leave. Lin Meng didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she just hoped they would leave as soon as possible. It was only later that Du Caiyi became angry and resentful, forcing her to use this backup tactic to threaten them!
When Du Caoyi heard Lin Meng's words, she immediately raised her hand. The four strong men instantly stopped in unison. Lin Meng's words stunned Du Caoyi in an instant, leaving her unable to act rashly. But was what she said really true
Du Caiyi looked at Lin Meng with suspicion and resentment.
"I'm not that easily fooled!" she feigned indifference.
Lin Meng turned her phone slightly and pointed the screen at Du Caiyi.
"See, I'm not pulling your leg!"
Then, after a few seconds, she made sure that Du Caixin had seen it, and then quickly turned her phone around again, pointing the camera back at Du Caixin.
Du Caiyi's face turned very dark. In just a few seconds, it was enough for her to see clearly that the phone was indeed filming, her own figure, faintly visible on the screen. It was probably that strange phone that had paused the recording function!
Anger!
Hold your breath!
Now, Du Caiyi is like a balloon filled with air, about to burst. Yet, she’s forcing herself to hold it in, suppressing all that rage!
Because she cares about her reputation, her behavior earlier and her current disheveled appearance would be embarrassing if seen by others. She'd be ridiculed by people in her circle. Furthermore, her actions of coming to collect the house aren't entirely justified. Her primary motive is to humiliate Zhu Xiaodan and even Lin Meng. If this video gets out, especially into the hands of the older generation at home, the clan will definitely criticize her for lacking grace and dignity, accusing her of pushing her stepson to this state. This would be a truly shameful act!
Some things, done in private, are acceptable. Even if they're immoral, as long as they don't see the light of day, then the people in the tribe will just turn a blind eye!
Now, the situation is no longer a "private matter"!
Besides, who knows what Rong Feiwu would think after watching this video! After all, the image she had always kept in her heart was very good. It seems like she just revealed some important information, that she had gone to find Zhu Xiaodan and forced her away with words, which let Rong Feiwu know...
Du Caiyi immediately frowned!
No!
That video has to disappear!
"Give me your phone, or I'll be very impolite!"
She didn't dare say anything that would make her look too bad, because she was worried the video might actually get leaked!
"No way!" Lin Meng smiled faintly. "This was specially made for me by Rong Ling, I can't give it to you. If you want it, go ask your husband for it, don't try to steal mine!"
Du Caiyi's face flushed red and then white. Lin Meng's tone was as if she were robbing her of something, as if she were the kind of person who would snatch anything good from others! This little woman, even like this, didn't mock her, it was simply infuriating!
Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. She's just as detestable as Zhu Xiaodan and Rong Ling!
"All I want is the video, hand it over!" She gritted her teeth, forcing down her anger to explain.
Lin Meng replied coolly, "The video can't be handed over. I know what you're thinking. I'll delete the video, not a trace will remain, but there's a condition: immediately take your people and leave this place!"
This condition is not unreasonable! Du Caiyi originally thought that Lin Meng would demand her to stop causing trouble with this house, a lion's mouth opening. If so, it would be pointless to even talk. She had walked through the entire place, and she could clearly see that the house was very good, designed very ingeniously. Many of the small objects inside didn't seem dazzling at first glance, but to an expert, one could see the extremely high value contained within their understated elegance. Moreover, her son also wanted this house. It is said that this house has many special layouts and its value is not what it appears on the surface!
So, on the house, she won't budge!
Is that all she gets to do Just walk away!
Du Caiyi measured and thought, it wasn't impossible. Anyway, she couldn't stand the sticky feeling on her body either, especially since it had seeped through her knitted sweater into her skin! But on one condition, this damn porridge wasn't spilled by this woman!
Could Du Caiyi possibly be the kind of person who gets splashed and doesn't retaliate! Holding onto a video doesn't change anything. This kind of thing, with some effort from those with ill intentions and help from the media, can easily twist black into white!
No, no, no.
Du Caiyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her heart pounding with excitement. What if she did that After briefly thinking through the subsequent actions, Du Caiyi felt determined.
She is not an ordinary woman. In critical moments, her quick wit is indispensable.
"Give me your phone, I'll delete the video myself, and then we'll leave immediately!" She reached out her hand to Lin Meng.
Lin Meng naturally refused. "You should know that this is a dead end, Mrs. Du. I'm not that foolish!"
"I'm not stupid either! What if I leave, and you still use the video to cause trouble Lin Meng, I don't trust you!"
"I'm very confident that my credit rating is higher than yours. Ms. Du, please go first!"
"Give me your phone," Du Caiyi said, her words a guarantee. "You don't have to doubt it for a second. Give it to me, and I'll leave cleanly!"
"You leave, and I'll definitely delete it. I always keep my word. Since I said so, I'll definitely do it!"
Du Caoyi's face suddenly fell, and she let out a cold snort. "You little woman, you are so scheming! In such a short time since I arrived, you have been plotting against me with schemes. How could I possibly believe your words I was trying to reason with you, giving you face, but you still refuse. Then, I'll just have to take it myself!"
This is Du Caoyi's ultimate goal.
"You guys—" Du Caixin looked at her four subordinates. "Go get that phone over here!"
Lin Meng immediately shouted: "Don't come over, if anyone dares to approach me, I'll send this video!"
Do not fear, Du Caiyi!
Lin Meng captured her embarrassing side, but after a while she snatched her phone and had Lin Meng pressed to the ground like a dog, licking up the porridge clean. She didn't believe it, she would also send this video to Rong Ling, Rong Ling would still dare to spread her video! Oh, maybe, you can also add his mother, press his mother down and make her kneel on the floor licking that porridge, I guess Rong Ling will be obedient like a grandson!
Thinking of this scene, Du Caiyi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Four men in black, like wolves, rushed towards Lin Meng.
Lin Meng panicked. “I did it, I really did it!”
Actually, the uniqueness of this phone allows it to function similarly to a telecommunications video feature. That is to say, everything Du Caiyi did has long been synchronized to Rong Ling's eyes through her phone. What Lin Meng said before was just a tactic to deter Du Caiyi! Now that Du Caiyi has no scruples and exceeds Lin Meng's budget, it really makes her somewhat panicked!
"Haha, go ahead and post it!" Du Caiyi couldn't help but triumphantly shout. "Wait until I capture your dog-eating look and put it in there, I want to see, will it be your dog-like appearance that attracts people, or my current appearance"
At this moment, one of the men in black was about to catch Lin Meng. Lin Meng gritted his teeth and could only desperately dodge!
"Haha..."
Looking at Lin Meng scurrying around like a mouse with her head in her hands, Du Caiyi laughed wildly and triumphantly. Her unrestrained laughter spread instantly throughout the space, making people want to punch her just by hearing it. It felt like this woman was asking for it.
It was at this moment that a glacial voice, like a sword imbued with the chill of the wind, pierced through the air.
"What could possibly make Ms. Du laugh so happily!"
It sounded curious, but it lacked warmth, like the winter wind that froze you to the bone. It was so cold that you couldn't move, almost frozen stiff!
This is just like Du Caiyi's smile on her face!
Mu Xin Feng let out a low cry and quickly bowed her head. She stood closest to Rong Ling, so she was the first to bear the brunt of his cold aura. Towards Rong Ling, Mu Xin Feng had a kind of indescribable awe in her heart. This awe was somewhat like how she felt towards her father-in-law, but not quite. At this moment, facing Rong Ling who arrived so swiftly, Mu Xin Feng didn't dare to utter a word.
Rong Ling strode past her, moving like the wind. He was like a knight in heavy armor, forcing everyone to submit to his rigid and cold demeanor.
As soon as he arrived, the four men who had been following his orders stopped what they were doing!
Lin Meng's heart suddenly relaxed, and after taking two more steps, she stopped, gasping for breath. However, her eyes remained fixed on Rong Ling!
Rong Ling was also staring straight at her, his eyes were cold as well, but somehow he made Lin Mengfei not feel afraid, instead she felt a strange sense of security!
This man, he finally caught up. Is he here to protect her!
Feng Ling strode past Du Caili and walked towards Lin Meng. The four men in black involuntarily parted to let him pass, allowing him to reach Lin Meng's side.
Impossible!
A true strong person is someone who can intimidate others just by their presence!
The strong not only win but also command the quickest submission of others!
Although Rong Ling's murderous aura was carefully restrained, even just a faint hint of it would be enough to make the black-clad man hesitate!
Rong Ling reached out and gently embraced Lin Meng's shoulders, silently offering her comfort. He came to her side, letting her know that no matter what happened, even if the sky fell, he would be there to bear it with her!
Then, he stared at Du Caixin with a blank expression. His dark and cold eyes were filled with arrogance and an air of severity!
"So many people bullying one, Ms. Du, you've really gotten good at this!"
Du Caiyi's heart skipped a beat, her temples tightening as she wanted to explain. Rong Ling, however, still used his utterly unforgivingly cold tone, speaking slowly and steadily. "Although I am no longer considered a member of the Rong family, some old rules of the Rong family, I haven't forgotten entirely. What the Rong family despises most is using brute force to bully others because that's cowardly. If you want to deal with someone, you have to do it yourself, not like an ordinary nouveau riche housewife who just yells around. Ms. Du, your approach is terrible, especially since you were once the mistress of the house. If the clan found out, they would be ashamed. And as for Ms. Mu—"
Rong Ling cast a glance at Mu Xin Feng. "Your husband hasn't even settled into his position yet, you shouldn't be so eager to act arrogant, otherwise, you'll only drag him down!"
Mu Xin Feng bit her lip and gasped.
The same words, perhaps Lin Meng had said them, Mu Xin Feng would have scoffed at. But coming from Rong Ling's mouth, the former head of the household's mouth, she was left with only tension and worry!
The awe-inspiring majesty of Rong Ling runs deep. Even Du Caiyi, in her choice of words at this moment, must carefully consider each syllable. A lion is a lion; even if you drive it out of its territory, it will remain the king of beasts, and its explosive, fatal bite when unleashed cannot be resisted!
Du Caiyi slowed her breath slightly, forcing herself to calm down and think of a way to deal with it as quickly as possible!
"Let's go!" Rong Ling was very impolite and directly issued an order to leave. His tone was deep and cold, with a threatening undertone. "I'll give you ten minutes, ten minutes. If you haven't left my house by then, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Du Caiyi quickly calculated, if her four subordinates and Rong Ling fought, what would be the probability of winning in the end It should... be about 80%! But she wasn't too sure, so maybe 70% Again, it could always be around 60%!
"There are still nine minutes left," Rong Ling's cold voice rang out, and then he reached into his waist and lifted the hem of his suit jacket.
Du Caiyi was startled, her legs trembling uncontrollably. As she took a step back, she nearly tripped and fell. In that instant, rumors about Rong Ling flashed through her mind. This man, they said, was a killer, ruthless and terrifying, able to stab dozens of blood holes into someone without batting an eyelid!
She was afraid—afraid of the hand that had clasped Rong Ling's!
That hand, what will it pull out! A flying knife! Or...
And the crowd felt a flash before their eyes. When Rong Ling raised his hand, a black handgun had already appeared in his hand. Rong Ling's hand flipped again, and the black pistol gracefully did a beautiful flourish in his hand before being firmly grasped.
"As people like us who can carry guns, if the conditions are right, we are allowed to kill at will. Mrs. Du, you trespassed into my house and attacked my woman, so--"
Rong Ling, wielding a gun, glared fiercely at Du Caiyi. His cold and wicked expression was like that of a bloodthirsty Satan!
"Ah—" Du Caiyi cried out in surprise, hastily dodging to the side.
Holding the gun in his hand, Rong Ling's aim was as if it had an auto-calibration feature, quickly readjusting itself to point directly at Du Caixin!
"Rong... Rong Ling, you... don't scare me!" Du Caiyi's words were trembling, her face was already pale as a sheet, which matched her white knitted sweater. Although she was standing, she could feel that she would collapse at any moment!
Rong Ling didn't bother talking to her, he just coldly announced a data. “Eight minutes and seven seconds, eight minutes and six seconds, eight minutes and five seconds...”
He was counting down, precise and cold-blooded like a killing machine, sending shivers down your spine! Especially his icy eyes, they didn't even look human!
Mu Xinfeng couldn't hold on any longer and weakly cried out, "Mom, let's go first!"
Rong Ling is just a crazy person, he really can kill! She's still young and has a son, she shouldn't die here! This kind of person with a gun license, they are given special care by the state. If they really killed someone and then fabricated a reasonable excuse, the state side would definitely do their best to protect them.
Leave it, there's no benefit!
Du Caoyi also thought of this, so she immediately looked like a dead soul and wanted to retreat, but the video --
"I'm leaving!" She straightened her back as best she could, though it felt like it was about to give way. She didn't dare meet Rong Ling's gaze - his eyes were dark and heavy, like the entrance to hell - instead, she looked at Lin Meng by her side. "I'm going, remember your promise, delete that video!"
Lin suddenly found this woman rather ridiculous. At that time, she had people trying to steal her phone and was still making promises!
"You're leaving, not because of our promises to each other, so the deal is off!" She simply reminded her of that fact coldly.
Du Caiyi's face twisted momentarily, and her voice came out a little sharp as she cried out.
"Delete it!"
"Ten minutes reduced to nine!" Rong Ling immediately said coldly. "Du Caiyi, can you be any more disrespectful to my woman!"
"Eleven minutes and six seconds!" he reported. That was after cutting a full minute off!
Mu Xin Feng immediately screamed!
From this room to the gate of this villa, it's quite a distance, only six minutes left!
Mu Xin Feng was about to cry. "Mom, hurry up, we're running out of time!"
She had to remind herself, because if Du Caiyi didn't leave, she wouldn't be able to run alone first. Otherwise, going back meant waiting for the Rong family to kick her out! Rong Ling was no longer part of the Rong family, so naturally he had nothing to fear, but she was still carrying the burden of being his nominal wife!
Helpless, she could only bear the fear and ran as fast as she could towards Du Caiyi. Perhaps because Rong Ling's gun had always been pointed at Du Caiyi, Mu Xinfeng didn't feel the pressure was overwhelming enough to crush her. When she grabbed Du Caiyi and pulled her out, she realized that her mother-in-law had suddenly gone limp and weak. Her not-so-short figure actually slumped down, with most of her body leaning towards her!
This scared Mu Xinfeng badly!
I thought my mother-in-law was so capable, even like this, she still stood straight and brave in the face of danger. It turns out she was just putting on a brave face!
Mu Xin Feng inwardly sneered, then helplessly appealed to the four men in black. "Come quickly, help Madam up, let's leave!"
She's a woman, but she can't possibly drag her mother-in-law around!
The Black-clad man was indeed a trained professional, his mental fortitude far surpassing that of Mu Xin Feng and her daughter-in-law, Du Cai Yi. The moment he heard this, he acted swiftly. He approached alone, said nothing, and directly grabbed Du Cai Yi, hoisting her onto his shoulder like a sack of grain, before dashing away with speed. The rest followed in hot pursuit.
Mu Xinfeng was wearing high heels, which made it very inconvenient at this time. Besides, she was also wearing a skirt and couldn't run away. She fell behind all of a sudden, and she got very anxious. She cried out, "Come back! Come help me!"
She wished she could scream and have one of them carry her away!
At a critical moment, a black-clad man said nothing. When returning, he treated Mu Xin Feng in the same way as Du Cai Yi, carrying him away. At the same time, there came Mu Xin Feng's scream of terror.
Lin Meng watched the dramatic scene, her lips curling into a sneer. Then, she reached out and slowly wrapped her arms around Rong Ling's waist.
Rong Ling patted her shoulder, pulled her towards the balcony, and then hugged her, motioning for her to look down. After a while, Mu Xinfeng and Du Caiyi's figures appeared in the courtyard. The two were now down from the black-clothed men, stumbling and being dragged away by them. I don't know why!
Rong Ling sneered coldly. "The pride of the aristocratic families will only flare up when there's still a little time left! Otherwise, time won't allow it, and they'll only be carried out like sacks! But now, it's unlikely that they can regain much dignity. Look, both of them are being led around like dogs!"
Lin Meng's mouth twitched violently. She was astonished that someone could casually spit out such vicious words from their lips. But thinking back to when Du Caiyi ordered her subordinates to force her to lick things off the floor like a dog, she understood why this man would say such things!
Because the phone was always kept on, the man heard everything!
She twitched the corners of her lips, watching as Du Caiyi and Mu Xinfeng below were dragged forward by two men in black. Their bent figures staggered, weren't they like two dogs Just a twitch of her lips, she raised a silent, faint smile.eel well.He didn't want to argue with Rong Qi any longer, as there would be no result anyway. Taking advantage of the opportunity to pour wine, he left directly. Rong Qi watched from behind, feeling a...
