“Don’t hurt our Miss. We’ll agree to any of your conditions! Please be rational. Just don’t hurt our Miss!” Ah Yi, the bodyguard, was clearly panicked now. As he looked at his comrades lying in a pool of blood, his face was as white as a sheet from the fright though he did not forget to care for Mu Lingshi’s safety.

“Doris, the person you want to hurt is me. There’s no need to hurt them! What do you want? Just say it!”

Uneasiness and dread rose in Mu Lingshi’s chest as she put a hand on her baby bump.

“No need to put on an act of affection between master and servants now. It’s too unrealistic. Mu Lingshi, you’re just a little stronger than that mean mother of yours, but only just a little. Thankfully, she committed suicide by jumping off a building. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do with her.” Doris’s tone of disdain was heard, and Mu Lingshi did not look pleased at all.

“What went on between you, Gu Qiwu, and my mother has got nothing to do with me! Why do you need to impose your anger on us? We didn’t know about your entanglement. We’re innocent too!” Mu Lingshi said through clenched teeth.

“Huh, you say it quite easily. Didn’t Gu Qiwu announce that he’ll be handing Hui Gu to you? I’ve been with Gu Qiwu for decades. Do you think I’d let him do that? No one has ever trampled over my dignity, but since he dares do that, I’m going to make him pay! Let him feel the pain of losing a child!” Doris’s hooting was akin to a hissing snake, and Ah Yi shuddered at this sight.

“You, quickly call Mu Yuchen. I want to see Gu Qiwu. If he doesn’t want Gu Qiwu and Mu Zi’s daughter to die quickly, get Gu Qiwu to see me! Call him now!” Her sharp gaze brushed past Ah Yi as she ordered coldly.

“Don’t be too stirred up and don’t hurt our Miss. I’ll call Master right away, right away!” Ah Yi dared not delay as he quickly took out his phone and called Li Si.

At this moment, on Mu Yuchen’s end, he and Xi Xiaye had just left to make their way for the old Mu residence.

When his phone rang, Mu Yuchen glanced at Xi Xiaye as he was driving, and she knowingly answered the phone.

Unexpectedly, Li Si’s anxious voice came through, “Master! Master! It’s me! Bad news! Miss Lingshi has been held hostage by Doris who has a gun. Ah Quan and the rest are hurt. Doris says she wants to see Gu Qiwu. The police have rushed over. Quickly make your way over!”

“What did you say? Ah Shi’s been held by Doris?” When Li Si said that, Xi Xiaye was shocked.

“Missus…”

“Where?” Before Li Si could react, Mu Yuchen snatched the phone away from Xi Xiaye’s hand.

“Master! Where Miss Mu Zi and Master Lingtian are buried.”

“Help me make some arrangements. I’ll rush over right away,” Mu Yuchen said in a low voice, then he turned the car around and made his way to the west of the city.

On the way over, Xi Xiaye’s brows furrowed into a concerned knot. “Didn’t Ah Shi go home right after her checkup? Where’s Ah Mo? Isn’t Ah Mo with her?”

“It’s Christmas Eve. She’s probably gone to see Grandmother. She has always been holding onto her,” Mu Yuchen explained.

Upon hearing that, Xi Xiaye felt an ache in her heart. Wang Hui was probably an torment that could never be erased in everyone’s hearts. It was a pain that could only fade with time, and gradually be concealed, never to fully recover.

As she thought about this, Xi Xiaye suddenly thought of Gu Qiwu and Mu Lingshi.

“If anything happens to Ah Shi again, Gu Qiwu will be a sinner forever. Isn’t Doris being too cruel now? Mu Lingtian is gone. Isn’t that enough? She’ll only resent not being able to get anything from Gu Qiwu, yet forget that she had already taken away Mu Lingtian’s life, what could be crueler than that?” Xi Xiaye said. Her tone could not help but turn gloomy.

“If she knew how to think of these things, we wouldn’t be where we are today,” Mu Yuchen answered calmly while his gaze was exceptionally gloomy.

“Mr. Mu, don’t worry, it’ll be fine! Ah Shi is a lucky person, and Heaven helps the worthy.”

“No, you should say that she has always been unfortunate. There was one time when Grandmother brought her to the temple, the fortune teller said that Lingshi’s got a tough fate, we didn’t care, but after that, Lingshi kept it in her heart. Why else do you think she would still be clinging onto Grandmother’s death?”

A bitter smile flashed across her lips as she replied, “I thought you didn’t believe in fate.”

He paused, but in the next second he sped up. “I don’t believe in it, but that doesn’t mean…”

Mu Yuchen did not continue while Xi Xiaye only took one look at that handsome of his and did not continue asking anymore.

…

The cemetery had initially been quiet, but then suddenly many policemen showed up, and when the gunshots were heard, the surroundings were startled.

“Doris, it’s best that you don’t act recklessly. Let go of the hostage and follow us to the police station. Let’s handle this nicely while we can,” Captain Wang from the police force held a gun and pointed it at Doris as he advised.

“Shut up! Where’s Gu Qiwu? Where’s he? Tell him to meet me!” Doris refused to listen. She was determined that she wanted to see Gu Qiwu. Her arm held onto Mu Lingshi tightly again, and Mu Lingshi could not help but cough painfully before she inhaled sharply.

“He’s already on the way, don’t be rash!” Captain Wang tried his best to calm Doris down. He could not have expected that such an exquisitely beautiful woman could do something like this!

“Doris, why do you have to implicate your grudges with Gu Qiwu onto us? Let me ask you: did you plan for Lingtian to die? You knew that Gu Qiwu is Lingtian’s and my biological father, didn’t you? Is that why you’ve been racking your brains thinking of how to get rid of us?” Mu Lingshi asked harshly.

Who could have known that as soon as Mu Lingshi said that, Doris would have just laughed out loud and not hide it anymore. Her beautiful eyes gathered with a madness that seemed hell-bent on destroying.

“That’s right! I knew about Gu Qiwu and Mu Lingtian’s relationship seven years ago!”
