ere spent, then firing again. The entire process was smooth and fluid, raising the gun for a direct hit, eliciting numerous cheers from the crowd! When all the shots were fired, and the steel net hung...This anger surged up inside him instantly.

You, Li Lanqiu, are really something. You're always scheming behind his back. To say that Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng are in cahoots is something he only ever said to fool you. I never expected you to spread it around like this. The only thing I can think of is how yesterday at the banquet, you kept hovering around Du Caiyi. It was simply annoying!

She should have been eliminated long ago!

A sinister emotion flashed across his heart!

"About this, Mengmeng definitely doesn't know. I'll investigate and give you an explanation. But in front of Mengmeng, don't say those things anymore."

Rong Man immediately welled up with tears of grievance.

“Mumu is bleeding, my Mumu. I don’t even know what happened to her now. The most important thing is to find Mumu immediately. She’s so young, what if she got hurt somewhere—” Rong Man choked back a sob and took a deep breath, her voice trembling. “I have to bring Mumu back as soon as possible. Rong Ling!”

Rong Man's voice suddenly became stern. "Mumu, you watched her grow up, and she has always been very close to you. She is the only blood relative we have left. Now that my father is imprisoned, Mumu absolutely cannot have anything happen to her. You are not allowed to protect Lin Meng anymore."

"Lin Meng!" Rong Man glared at her fiercely. "If you know what's good for you, return Mu Mu right now. Otherwise, I'm going to call the police."

"I've said it before, MuMu's business is none of mine. I like MuMu, and I'm worried because she was kidnapped."

"Stop talking nonsense and hand over the child immediately!"

"I didn't do it!"

"You didn't do it, it must be the Jiang family. You tell them to hand over the child!"

This startled Lin Meng, who couldn't speak for a moment. After going through so much, she truly couldn't calmly defend the Jiang family and say they hadn't done such a thing.

This kind of Lin Meng, falling into Rong Man's eyes, only caused her even greater anger.

"Call the Jiang family and tell them to release the child. Otherwise, I'll have the police arrest you first, and then the Jiang family!"

"I didn't do it!" Lin Meng couldn't help but shout. She wasn't a mud-person, someone who could be yelled at and insulted at will. "But I will call, just for Mumu!"

She did it all for the little girl who would sweetly call her "Auntie," but certainly not for Rong Man. She didn't trust her, and the way she was so aggressive made her feel restless.

Rong Man let out a cold snort, her expression saying: "See I told you so. You're behind this, aren't you"

Lin Meng looked troubled, her face fell cold, and she was about to go back upstairs.

"Hold it right there, where are you going" Rong Man, however, exuded the air of a formidable older sister.

"Make a phone call." Lin Meng endured.

"Stop messing around here! Hit it!"

Lin Meng suddenly came back to her senses, staring at Rong Man with a stern look in her eyes.

"Man Jie, I'm telling you, this matter, it wasn't me who did it. The reason I'm calling is because Jiang Chengfeng and I do have some feelings for each other, perhaps what I say he might listen to, or maybe, this thing just wasn't done by him at all. I dare to call now because I have a clear conscience, because I truly love Mu Mu!"

"Since your heart is clear, why hide! Fight right here!"

Lin Meng suddenly felt a surge of anger.

At this time, Rong Ling came over and said, "Alright, let's just fight here."

The fire in her heart burned even brighter, but she only clenched her fists and picked up the phone to dial.

This man, knowing she's caught between him and Jiang Chengfeng, is making things difficult for her. To have her humiliated in front of so many people He should know that would be embarrassing for her! And he should also know that she has a protective instinct towards the Jiang family. To make this call in front of Rong Man, who is practically insane right now, is some words, are they appropriate! If it wasn't done by the Jiang family, making this call will hurt Jiang Chengfeng; but if it was indeed done by the Jiang family, and they admit to it, wouldn't she be harming them

In her heart, a surge of grievance welled up instantly. She was caught in this impossible situation, forced into an unwanted corner. To have her make this call privately wasn't ideal, was it Given her character, could she not be wholeheartedly devoted to little Mumu! Why was Rong Ling being so relentless towards her

But, the phone call still went out.

No matter what, the child is innocent. For the sake of the child, she can endure some grievances.

Gritting her teeth, forcing a tear down, that's how she told herself!

The phone connected, and Jiang Chengfeng answered with a soft "Hello," his voice gentle.

"Big Brother Jiang, it's me." Because she was calling from a landline, Lin Meng gave her name.

"Well, I know it's you," Jiang Chengfeng chuckled softly.

That gentle look, as always, gave her a faint pang of guilt. If this wasn't his doing, then she had been completely wrong to make this call. But she took a deep breath, blinked hard, wiped away the bittersweet tears, and said,

"Jiang Ge, I need to talk to you."

His heavy tone caused Jiang Chengfeng's smile to fade slightly, a sense of disappointment settling in his heart. As expected, she only called him when she had something to do.

"Go ahead." He replied with an accepting tone, a hint of sigh in it.

In her heart, she felt increasingly uneasy, but she still briefly mentioned what happened to MuMu.

"I want to ask..." she licked her lips, a slight sting in her heart. "Is this... done by you"

Rong Man immediately narrowed her eyes, her lips moving quickly, an angry roar that couldn't be stopped.

"Don't pretend, you're all in on this!"

Rong Ling silently stepped forward a few steps and grabbed Rong Man's arm forcefully, with a heavy grip, silently issuing a warning. The glint in his eyes spoke of his extreme displeasure.

Rong Man's eyes were red-rimmed, and more tears welled up in them.

What was taken away was her only precious daughter, and she was injured. From childhood to adulthood, Mumu had been treated like a treasure, pampered by everyone. Now, away from her loved ones, no one knows what she's gone through. Every time Rong Man thinks about it, as a mother, she feels like she's going crazy.

Du Caiyi's suggestion was like a life-saving straw, giving Rong Man immense hope. So, she unilaterally hoped that everything Du Caiyi said was true, and truly hoped it could be Lin Mengqian's. That way, she would have somewhere to start, and she could find the missing MuMu as quickly as possible.

So, she craved for Lin Meng to be the guilty one. Otherwise, she didn't know how to go on. The longer this dragged on, the heavier and colder her heart became, the more fear consumed her, like being hung precariously on a cliff edge. It seemed that just a slight gust of wind could blow her off!

So, she vented her own fragility by lashing out at Lin Meng in a domineering way. But she didn't have the energy to consider or reflect on whether this was appropriate!

Rong Ling vaguely knew a little about her psychology, so he was willing to be considerate of her. He looked at Rong Man, who seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Originally, with San Bo being imprisoned, Rong Man had been running around non-stop these days, feeling quite exhausted. The kidnapping of Mu Mu was even more of a deep blow to her.

Well, she can't overdo it!

"Manjie, sit down, don't speak, wait until Mengmeng finishes this phone call."

He forcibly pressed Rongman onto the sofa. The overwhelming force, coupled with his imposing presence, made Rongman swallow her anger even though she was fuming inside.

At this moment, Jiang Chengfeng on the phone questioned, "Who is beside you"

His tone held a faint chill.

Lin Meng didn't answer, she just continued to ask. "Brother Jiang, was it you guys who did something to MuMu"

Gritting her teeth, her face turned cold. "Children are innocent, no matter what, even if there is a huge grudge, you can't hurt the child. If you did it, bring the child back. If you didn't, then I apologize to you."

“It wasn’t me,” Jiang Cheng said, his tone laced with displeasure. He knew the difference between right and wrong; he hadn't reached the point of reckless abandon. However, he couldn't vouch for his father. His father had many secrets, walking a dangerous path. He was aware that one misstep could lead to a disastrous end. Therefore, he tried his best to distance himself from his father, giving him as much clean slate as possible.

But Lin Meng was right, the child is innocent. If her own father was really involved in this, he would help her.

I will help you find that little girl.

He made a promise, but wouldn't say too much. As the son of the Jiang family, he had no reason to betray his father or push him into a fire pit.

If his guess is correct, that sharp scream just now should be the little girl's mother—Rong Man!

A tough character!

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. When Mumu was captured, she seemed to have been injured as well, so it would be best if we could bring her back as soon as possible so that we can feel at ease."

"I will do my best."

Jiang Cheng's words, she believed.

I'm waiting to hear from you. Please call my phone as soon as there is any news on your end.

"Okay."

Jiang Chengfeng hung up the phone, and Lin Meng also hung up.

"That's it" asked Rong Man urgently.

She listened, it seemed that Lin Meng and Jiang Chengfeng hadn't really talked about anything.

"Brother Jiang said he didn't do it, but he said he would help us find MuMu."

"What You believe him just like that! And you keep calling him 'Big Brother Jiang,' so intimate..."

"Manjie, enough!" Rong Ling moved with anger. "Go back first, I have news here, and I'll tell you."

His defense of Lin Meng made Rong Man extremely unhappy. She had learned from Du Caoyi that Lin Meng had clearly betrayed Rong Ling, and Rong Ling also had feelings for her. However, out of fear of Lin Meng being Youyou's mother and having the support of the Ruan family, he had never broken things off with her. But now, what time is it He still cares about this!

He wouldn't say it, so she stabbed him in the back.

Lynn Meng, everything you've done, Rong has found out about it all. So stop pretending! You're playing both sides, claiming the position of Mrs. Rong while...

"Rong Man!" Rong Ling called her name, warning her. He even rudely grabbed her and pulled her up, shouting angrily at her. "Go home and stay there!"

He stubbornly pulled her along.

Lin Meng suddenly spoke. "Don't leave, let her speak."

My heart suddenly grew strangely still, a faint melancholy hovering within it. Yet, I felt neither joy nor anger, only a desire to understand. What was it that Rong Ling so desperately tried to hide

"Let her speak, Rong Ling. Even if you drive her away now, I will find a way to hear what she wants to say from her. So don't waste everyone's energy, just say it now."

Rong Man was being pinched to the extreme by Rong Ling, but this made her even more determined to expose everything.

"You've been colluding with the Jiang family behind my back, Rong Ling knows. You even stole things from Rong Ling to give to the Jiang family, Rong Ling knows that too, but because you're Yoyo's mother, he said at the time that it was Li Lanqiu who did it. But the fingerprints collected on the computer were all yours. Do you think Rong Ling really doesn't know what you've done! Don't think you can blackmail Rong Ling just because you're from the Ruan family. I tell you, this world always prioritizes interests. You and the Ruan family have no blood relationship at all. I don't believe that the Ruan family would go to such lengths for you. And with the Rong family in this state, they wouldn't mind having another enemy like the Ruan family! Hmph, if it weren't for Yoyo being such a good son, you should have been kicked out by Rong Ling long ago. You did this again today, so don't even think about staying in this house anymore, turn around and I'll call the police!"

"I'll go with Mommy!" a childish voice, yet sounding somewhat cold, suddenly rose. "Don't say bad things about my mommy, if you want to leave, I'm going with Mommy!"

In Xiaoyou's eyes, anger burned like a raging fire. Yet, the flames only deepened the darkness of her obsidian pupils, turning them a bloodshot black.

Such a beastly gaze made Rong Man's heart skip a beat, but she still said.

"Youyou, you will follow your father. Your mother is not good!"

"My mommy is the best!" Little Youyou looked at Rongman, her eyes filled with menace.

My son will definitely follow me.

Lin Meng coldly raised her voice.

"This is my family business, Rongman. You have no right to interfere!"

Ruman was furious.

Lin Meng chuckled and asked back, walking up to her with a cold face. He pulled the little guy who was trying to protect her by standing in front of her, and leaned him against his leg.

"Is there anything else you haven't said I'm very interested to hear more."

Enough, Rongman, go back!

A flash of fury, eyes that burned with malice, were ready to tear Rong Man apart. There was no doubt in his mind; if she dared speak another word, he would retaliate without hesitation. Fear gripped Rong Man, the words died on her lips before they could be uttered.

She stood up and walked toward the exit, not gathering enough courage to speak until she was almost out the door. Then, in a hurried and mumbled voice, she finally uttered a few words.

"Rong Ling, you have never been one to swallow your anger!"

After finishing her words, she dashed out of the room, as if she were just a step too late and a ferocious beast would have pounced on her and devoured her! had to avenge her child!I want revenge!"Get me a reporter, I want to speak, I want to speak!"The bodyguard quietly went out and took out his phone to contact each person one by one.
