Chapter 1186
Chapter 1186 As long as you listen to me, you’ll be fine.
On the surface, Xu Yuning and Mu Mu were nothing more than ordinary goodbyes.
Consequently, Conrad City did not create any suspicion.
He looked at the clock and realized that if he didn’t get out of the house, it might be too late.
However, Xu Yuning and Mu Mu seemed to have no intention of separating.
Kang Ruicheng furrowed his brows and impatiently urged, “Alright, we’ll be back in a few hours, let’s go.”
Xu Yuning and Mu Mu both knew in their hearts that if this continued, Kang Ruicheng was bound to become suspicious.
They …… really have to say goodbye.
Xu Yuning nodded, trying to maintain a natural look as she followed Kang Ruicheng out the door.
Mu Mu also smiled and followed Kang Ruicheng and Xu Yuning outside as if nothing had happened.
There was a black Land Rover parked outside the gate of the mansion, and the license plate number was very domineering, very much in line with Kang Ruicheng’s usual style.
In the driver’s seat of the car sat Tohko.
Dongzi, according to his and Kang Ruicheng’s plan, drove the car to the entrance of the old mansion early, saw Xu Yuning and Kang Ruicheng come out, and busily got out of the car to open the door.
Kang Ruicheng held the car door rather gentlemanly, signaling Xu Yuning to go up first.
Xu Yuning also do not know why, heartbeat suddenly accelerated, the heart vaguely have a bad feeling, but can not say a reason, can only first get on the car.
Kang Ruicheng then sat up, right next to Xu Yuning.
The bad premonition in Xu Yuning’s heart continued to swell, she subconsciously wanted to pull away the distance between herself and Kang Ruicheng, but considering that the unusual behavior would cause Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion, she could only force herself to remain calm.
Kang Ruicheng naturally fastened his seatbelt, seemingly unintentionally inclined his head to look at Xu You, his line of sight locking Xu Yuning’s collarbone, furrowed his brows, “There is something missing ……”
Xu Yuning didn’t react for a moment, looking at Kang Ruicheng uncertainly, “What?”
“There’s a necklace missing.”
As soon as the trailing tone fell, Kang Ruicheng took out a box for himself, which contained a very delicately crafted diamond necklace that sparkled inside the black box.
Xu Yuning had little interest in jewelry.
However, for professional reasons, when major brands launch new products of the season, she will habitually go to learn about them, even if she doesn’t get her hands on them, she should probably know about them, just in case.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t remember which brand’s promotional magazine she had seen the necklace in.
Isn’t it a first-tier brand necklace?
It doesn’t make sense – when someone like Kang Ruicheng makes a move, it’s usually a first-tier brand ah.
Kang Ruicheng once said that materially, he would never condescend to himself, much less her.
Xu Yuning had been secretly pondering for a long time, and when the answer was calling out, Kang Ruicheng had already hung the necklace around her neck.
She mentally retched, and subconsciously pressed the necklace–
Intuition told her that the necklace wasn’t that simple.
“Don’t move!” Kang Ruicheng’s voice was very strong, yet not too gentle for a gentleman, “I’ll put it on for you, it’ll look great.”
“…… hmmm.”
With this sound, Xu Yuning hesitated for a long time before barely letting it out.
She could no longer resist.
Even if there was something fishy about the necklace, she was riding the fence.
Kang Ruicheng’s movements were very sharp, and soon helped Xu Yuning put on the necklace, and at the end of the day, he helped her adjust it, finally revealing a satisfied smile, “Okay.”
The bad feeling in Xu Yuning’s heart not only did not subside, but the more he thought about it, the more odd he felt.
She looked down at the pendant on her collarbone, pretended to make a puzzled face, and said, “This isn’t quite the right length, it’s too low, can it be adjusted?”
“……” Conrad City didn’t say anything.
That bad feeling in Xu Yuning’s heart grew stronger, she stopped waiting for Kang Ruicheng’s answer and took it upon herself to try to untie the necklace.
But things weren’t as easy as she thought they would be.
It was as if the necklace was inherently circled around her neck, and there was no way to remove it, let alone adjust the length.
She couldn’t even recall how Kang Ruicheng had put it on her.
Xu Yuning clutched the chain and looked at Kang Ruicheng, her complexion had become angry as she questioned, “What’s going on here?”
“…… “Kang Ruicheng looked unimpressed and said lightly, “Don’t worry, as long as there’s nothing out of the ordinary, it’s just an ordinary necklace.”
“……”
Xu Yuning instantly heard Kang Ruicheng’s words – if anything out of the ordinary happened, this necklace would turn into a deadly weapon.
As for what is an anomaly–
As long as Lu Boyan and Mu Sijun had any unusual movements, or Xu Yuning came into contact with Mu Sijun, in Kang Ruicheng’s opinion, it was considered an abnormal situation, right?
If Kang Rui City’s defense escalated to this level, Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jue’s plan would be greatly hindered.
However, Xu Yuning couldn’t show concern.
At times like this, she could only exude her incomprehension and anger towards Kang Ruicheng for doing this.
Xu Yuning shook her head, the way she wanted to laugh but couldn’t, looking at Kang Ruicheng incredulously, “You don’t believe me?”
Kang Ruicheng looked at Xu Yuning and softly soothed, “Ah Ning, calm down. It’s not that I don’t believe you, I don’t believe Lu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue.”
Xu Yuning felt ridiculous and snorted, tugging at the necklace around her neck, “What about this thing, how are you going to explain it?”
“Ah Ning, I don’t need to explain to you.” Kang Ruicheng’s voice was gentle and no longer, his gaze gradually lost its temperature, only a cold irony remained, “Lu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue are my enemies, tonight is a good opportunity, they will definitely make a move, shouldn’t I take measures?”
The more Xu Yuning heard, the more ridiculous he felt, the banter at the corners of his lips deepened a few more points: “Your so-called measure is to install a fixed-time | bomb on my body?”
She guessed, according to Kang Rui Cheng a hang habit, the necklace around her neck, hidden in a small size, but the lethality of the bomb is not small at all.
Once the bomb exploded, it wouldn’t cause widespread damage, but, she would surely die.
As for why Conrad City is doing this-
The reason is simple.
He would rather ruin Xu Yuning than let Mu Sijun take Xu Yuning back.
He guessed that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijun would make a move, and if Lu Boyan and Mu Sijun’s plan succeeded and Xu Yuning was out of his control, he would detonate the bomb.
What he can’t have, he won’t let anyone else have.
Xu Yuning did want to escape, but she still felt that Kang Ruicheng’s method was ridiculous.
Kang Ruicheng claimed to love her and said that he was just trying to watch out for Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jue this time.
If he wanted to watch out for Lu Bo Yan and Mu Si Jue, he obviously had a thousand ways to defend himself, so why hang a bomb around her neck?
After all, it’s still because he doesn’t trust her, isn’t it?
Or perhaps his so-called love is simply hypocritical.
If you really love someone, you should do everything you can to make her happy, even if the person who gives her happiness is not yourself, it doesn’t matter at all.
To really love someone is to be afraid of her getting hurt, not to want to hurt her.
This kind of destructive love from Conrad City is horrible.
However, Kang Ruicheng didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this move of his, and rightfully said, “Ah Ning, I hope you can understand me.”
Xu Yuning let out a cold laugh, looked angrily at Kang Ruicheng, and said word for word, “I have no way to understand you!”
“…… “Kang Ruicheng frowned and didn’t show any softness, instead his tone turned into a warning, “Ah Ning, at times like this, you should listen to me!”
“Don’t ask me to listen to you!” Xu Yuning’s anger instantly spewed out, almost setting the entire carriage ablaze as he angrily rebuked, “You’re doubting me, so what qualifications do you have to tell me to listen to you!?”
Even if Kang Ruicheng hadn’t suspected her, he was still her grandmother’s murderer.
Who the hell was he to ask her to listen to him?
“I told you, I suspect Lu Bo Yan and Mu Shi Jue!” Kang Ruicheng’s aura was on full blast, meeting Xu Yuning’s gaze, trying to suppress her anger, emphasizing verbatim, “When they start to act, as long as you don’t cooperate with them, as long as you come to me, you’ll be fine! I’ve already said so, what else do you have to worry about?”
“…… After all, you still don’t trust me.”
Xu Yuning was really angry, not only did she not fear Kang Ruicheng’s gaze, the smile on the corner of her lips instead became colder and colder.
Instead of backing down, the anger in the bottom of her eyes burned even hotter.
Seeing this, Kang Ruicheng had to make a compromise, his tone softening, “Ah Ning, you should ……”
“Don’t need you to tell me what I should do!” The coldness in Xu Yuning’s smile seemed to emanate from his bones, every word he spat out was like it was going to freeze, “You don’t even know what you should do, you’re not qualified to teach me!”
“…… “Kang Ruicheng did not want to explain anymore, lit a cigarette, looked out the car window and said, “In short, as long as you don’t get close to Mu Sijun, you’ll be fine.”
Xu Yuning’s attention was diverted for a moment-
The carriages were already narrow, and if Kang Ruicheng smoked, the air in the carriages would become dirty.
She’s carrying a baby and can’t breathe this air.
Xu Yuning didn’t hesitate and reached out to press the button on the car window in an attempt to lower it.
When Kang Ruicheng heard the voice, his gaze instantly became stern as a knife, turning back to see Xu Yuning really rolling down the car window.
Doesn’t she know what this action means?
Kang Ruicheng’s eyes instantly filled with murderous anger, clutched Xu Yuning’s hand and pulled her over, roaring, “What are you doing?”
The window halfway down abruptly paused.
Xu Yuning looked at Kang Ruicheng, not reacting for a long time.
Dongzi reacted in turn and busied himself with closing the window.
The wind that had just blown in hadn’t had a chance to replace the air in the car, and the compartment had become an enclosed space again, filling the air with a strong odor of smoke.
Xu Yuning was not in a very good mood and struggled a little, asking Kang Ruicheng to let go of her.
However, Conrad City didn’t have that intention.
Xu Yuning stared angrily at Kang Ruicheng, the fire in her heart intensifying.
Dongzi sensed that the atmosphere in the car was getting more and more stiff, and stiffly spoke out to explain, “Ms. Xu, that look …… you just had is too dangerous.”
