Su Yicheng had thought that Lu Boyan was the only one who was extremely capable of provoking others.

Unexpectedly, Mu Sijue was also a hidden master.

“So, are you scared?”

These four simple words were directly provocative and uttered with some disdain and much arrogance.

According to Kang Ruicheng’s temperament, it was hard for him not to be irritated.

As expected, Kang Ruicheng’s face clouded in an instant, and he growled, “What a joke! Mu Sijue, how could I be afraid of you?”

Having been able to do just as he pleased for so many years, Kang Ruicheng was never afraid of anyone in this world!

Never!

“Who does Mu Sijue think he is? How dare he say this?”

Mu Sijue sneered and said slowly, “You should know best whether I’m telling the truth or a joke, don’t you?”

Kang Ruicheng’s calmness slowly dissipated and his anger was gradually being fanned. His voice was full of hostility. “Mu Sijue, you think I don’t know that you are here for A Ning?”

Kang Ruicheng looked as if he could read Mu Sijue’s mind and he was looking forward to seeing the panic on Mu Sijue’s face.

Xu Youning had escaped from Mu Sijue time and time again, but for Xu Youning’s sake, Mu Sijue showed up on most occasions dressed to the nines.

“Mu Sijue must not want to admit it, right?”

After all, this was like a humiliation.

Unexpectedly, this time, Mu Sijue was more candid than everyone could imagine. He admitted directly, “Yes, I’m here for Xu Youning.”

“…” Kang Ruicheng was stunned and couldn’t continue the conversation for a moment.

The smile on Mu Sijue’s lips grew bigger and bigger, and he said in a cold and sarcastic tone, “However, I really didn’t expect that you were afraid to let Xu Youning see me. Kang Ruicheng, you’re just so-so.”

Kang Ruicheng’s nostrils flared sharply.

He did not know how Mu Sijue got to know it.

However, Mu Sijue was telling the truth. After hearing that Mu Sijue would be showing up at the dinner party, for the time being, he chose Han Ruoxi as his female companion and asked Xu Youning to wait for him outside instead.

Kang Ruicheng covered up the embarrassment of having his plan being discovered and tried to fight back against Mu Sijue. “Mu Sijue, you are here for A Ning, but have you ever thought that A Ning doesn’t want to see you at all?”

“Really?” Mu Sijue pretended to be surprised. He paused for a few seconds and continued, “I have indeed never thought about it. After all, Xu Youning was very happy when she was with me.”

The word “happy” was vaguely ambiguous, which could easily make people associate it with something unspeakable.

Kang Ruicheng was also a man. He quickly understood Mu Sijue’s meaning, and immediately clenched his hands into fists.

The fact that Xu Youning had been with Mu Sijue was an eternal humiliation for him!

Mu Sijue knew that he cared a lot about it, so he deliberately brought this up!

Kang Ruicheng slipped his hand into his clothes and touched something. When he was about to pull it out, Mu Sijue suddenly said, “There are cameras everywhere. It’s good that you can pull it out. The police can accuse you of illegal possession of a weapon.”

Kang Ruicheng’s hand froze abruptly, then he finally put down his hand and said sarcastically, “Mu Sijue, stop speaking as if you’re a good person.”

“I’ve never claimed to be a good person.” Mu Sijue glanced at Kang Ruicheng with disdain. “But you have been pretending to be a good person in public.”

“…”

After a pause, Mu Sijue continued, “Unfortunately, the image you have painstakingly built up will soon collapse.”

Kang Ruicheng was clearly aware of the threat in Mu Sijue’s tone.

With a stern look, he stared at Mu Sijue and asked, “Mu Sijue, what do you mean?”

Mu Sijue looked at the time and said lightly, “Xu Youning should have received the news.”

Kang Ruicheng’s pupils contracted sharply, and he clenched his hands into fists. “Mu Sijue, you did it!”

Mu Sijue attended the dinner party for Xu Youning’s sake.

He also knew that Xu Youning was nearby, so he did everything he could just to force Xu Youning to show up.

Mu Sijue said calmly, “You should know how ruthless I am, right?”

The sad thing was that Mu Sijue could do anything to the whole world, but he could not do anything to Xu Youning.

He did not even know why he insisted on forcing Xu Youning to show up.

Was it because he just wanted to see for himself that Xu Youning was fine?

What a joke!

Kang Ruicheng turned around and stepped away to make a phone call.

Almost at the same time, Yang Shanshan ran over from a distance.

Yang Shanshan had a clear target. She ran straight to Mu Sijue, took his hand directly, and half leaned against him. She seemed to be a little aggrieved and seemed to be reliant on Mu Sijue.

Mu Sijue squinted at Yang Shanshan and asked, “Why not stay with Jian’an?”

“They said that they had something to do and left first. I don’t think they’re too welcoming, so I didn’t follow them. Also, it was very silly to stand there alone, so I came to you,” Yang Shanshan said softly and timidly. She glanced around and asked gently, “Brother Sijue, am I disturbing you?”

“…” Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally said coldly, “No.”

Actually, Yang Shanshan came at the right time.

If he guessed correctly, Xu Youning should be coming to look for Kang Ruicheng now.

He wanted Xu Youning to witness something personally, so she could also experience the amount of pain he felt when he lost his child.

Mu Sijue was right. Xu Youning was indeed on the way to the banquet hall.

In the past few days, Xu Youning had been very busy, because Kang Ruicheng was very busy.

Kang Ruicheng was busy with his own business, going out early and coming home late. Xu Youning did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so she stayed in the Kang family’s old house and busied herself with collecting evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s crimes.

Xu Youning knew that Kang Ruicheng was such a cautious person that she would not get much information if she only did a superficial search.

Perhaps because she did not have high expectations, Xu Youning got something unexpected.

She found some evidence, which could prove that Kang Ruicheng used the Su Group to launder money.

Money laundering was one of the financial crimes in the country. Once Kang Ruicheng was convicted of money laundering, although it would not kill him, it would be enough to put him in prison for a period of time.

Even if Kang Ruicheng could escape the punishment of the law after the trial, he could not avoid being detained for a few days.

It was Xu Youning’s biggest chance.

Xu Youning could take the chance to return to Mu Sijue and tell him that she knew Kang Ruicheng was her grandmother’s murderer, and their child was still alive, and that she had never betrayed Mu Sijue.

If Mu Sijue did not believe it, they could just go to the hospital for a checkup.

If one checkup failed, she would do it a few more times.

Doctor Liu said that because of the blood clot in her brain, the result of her checkup would be different even a minute later.

If she did it a few more times, there would be definitely one checkup showing that their child was still alive.

If she was really unlucky, at most, she could tell Mu Sijue about her illness.

Anyway… Mu Sijue would find out sooner or later.

So far, Xu Youning had obtained a lot of evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering. All she needed was a piece of conclusive evidence.

Xu Youning had planned to find the last piece of vital evidence today.

However, when it was almost dark, Kang Ruicheng suddenly came back and asked her to dress up, for he needed her to accompany him to a dinner party.

In this regard, Xu Youning was exactly the same as Mu Sijue. She also hated banquets and parties!

But Kang Ruicheng did not allow her to refuse. He ordered the makeup artist to do her makeup.

Then, the makeup artist said, “Miss, let me put on some evening makeup for you. I promise that you will look sexy and stand out from the crowd.”

Xu Youning was speechless. She grabbed the makeup artist’s tools and put on her makeup herself.

When she was being trained by Kang Ruicheng, she had specially learned how to disguise herself. Putting on makeup was one of the most important courses, and she was pretty good at it.

Although she had not been in disguise for a long time, she still had the basic skills. Xu Youning quickly finished putting on her makeup and put on a black-and-white dress. Finally, between high heels and flat shoes, she chose the latter.

She could obey Kang Ruicheng’s orders, but she also had to consider the child in her belly.

Strangely, when they were about to arrive at the hotel, Kang Ruicheng changed his mind after receiving a phone call. “A Ning, you don’t have to go in with me. Wait for me here.”

Xu Youning was confused. “Why?”

Kang Ruicheng did not explain. Instead, he contacted Han Ruoxi and asked her to accompany him to the dinner party by promising to help Han Ruoxi set up an independent studio.

For Han Ruoxi, this was undoubtedly a free lunch, and she would naturally not refuse.

Xu Youning was left on the roadside and stayed with Kang Ruicheng’s men, including Dongzi.

She felt bored and wanted to go back to the old house, but was stopped by Dongzi.

Dongzi said in a brusque manner, “Brother Cheng doesn’t allow us to go back, so we can only stay here!”

Not long after, Xu Youning received a call from Ah Jin.

Ah Jin was very anxious. “Miss Xu, I can’t get in touch with Brother Cheng. Please tell him that something bad has happened!”

Xu Youning straightened up all of a sudden and said in a strained voice, “What happened? Tell me clearly.”

Ah Jin explained in detail, “There’s news from the police station that someone provided evidence of Brother Cheng’s money laundering. Right now, the police are heading out to arrest him.”

“…”

Xu Youning’s mind went blank for half a minute.

She was also collecting evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering. Now, she only needed a piece of conclusive evidence.

She had planned to find out today and hand all the evidence to the police or to Lu Boyan before planning her next step.

“Who else was also searching for evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering?”

Without thinking too much, Xu Youning soon thought of Mu Sijue.

Apart from her, only Mu Sijue could not wait to grind Kang Ruicheng to ashes.

Thinking further about it, Xu Youning’s face immediately turned pale.

Mu Sijue would never be able to guess that his submission of the evidence of Kang Ruicheng’s money laundering to the police would not only expose her but also kill their child…
