8 so stupid!

After the quarrel, the next day, Du Yingxuan personally talked to Ye Ruwei and ordered her to leave Mu Zheng.

"Impossible!'

Of course, Ye Ruwei did not agree. How could she take an order from another woman and leave the Mu Zheng that she loved?

"You are playing with your own life, do you know that?" Du Yingxuan was not angry and was smiling sweetly and innocently.

"What does that mean?" She asked inexplicably.

"Do you know what will happen if you continue to cling to Mu Zheng?"

"What will happen?"

"Go home and see for yourself!"

With this riddle, Du Yingxuan left. Ye Ruwei looked at her retreating back with her heart full of questions.

What was she talking about?

Driven by curiosity, she immediately returned home. The moment she opened the door, her face turned pale.

"This.....what happened?"

Her house had been broken into with all the furniture destroyed. All the placement items were totally smashed, an enlarged photo of her, that was hanging on the wall was riddled with sharp knives. The face on the photo was ripped and cut into pieces like a honeycomb. She fell to the ground, hugging herself with her arms, trying to stifle the chilling feeling that was rising in her body.

It was Du Yingxuan!

It must be her!

She was still in shock when her cell phone rang. The sudden ringing sound startled her and she paused for a moment before slowly picking up the call.

Who is it?

"Do you like the changes in your home?" It was Du Yingxuan!

"Du Yingxuan, you are too much! Why did you damage my home? Are there no laws in your eyes?"

"Since I dare to do this, naturally I have backing. Who does not know my father and who dares to contradict my father?"

"You and your father will do whatever evil and still put on an innocent look. You really make me sick!" Ye Ruwei was really furious. She had never scolded a person so severely before.

"As long as I get my objective, I do not care and you can say whatever you want."

"Then, what is it that you want?"

"I have already said that I want you to leave Mu Zheng! Your presence has greatly affected his performance. He has been acting a bit unusual and killing people with mercy. I think this has to be due to your influence"

"Killing is basically wrong!"

"You really have a sense of justice but now you are in trouble, who will come to save you?"

"If Mu Zheng knows you are such a vicious woman, he will help me!" Ye Ruwei shouted.

"Is that right? Unfortunately, between you and me, who do you think Mu Zheng will choose to believe?"

Her words shattered Ye Ruwei's confidence.

Du Yingxuan was right. Even if she and Du Yingxuan were to settle this face to face, Mu Zheng would not believe her. In his mind, Du Yingxuan was the perfect holy angel, how could he believe she was actually a fake angle in disguise?

After that day, Du Yingxuan's threats became more intensified and then she began to send vicious-looking men to scare her. Later when Ye Ruwei found that she was pregnant, for her child and her own safety, she was forced to quietly shut down Hongye Hot Springs, leaving Mu Zheng and moved away.

Seven months later, she gave birth to a healthy, handsome boy and she named him, Qi An (Prayer for safety). Just like his name, she did not hope for anything but only to keep him safe.

In a blink of an eye, so many years had passed. The four-year-old Qi An had grown up to be a smart and sensible boy and she did not want anything to happen to him!

She was afraid that if she had any contact with Mu Zheng, Qi An would be hurt. So all these years, she had been hiding from him and did not think that he would be able to find them and also appear, holding a photo of Qi An.

I must take Qi An to a safe place....

She had been murmuring these words all the time she was unconscious.

Ye Ruwei fluttered her long eyelashes, a few seconds later, slowly opened her eyes.

She first noticed the darkness around her. There was no light in the room except for the small lamp on the bedside table.

Is the sky already dark?

She sat up in astonishment and looked around the room.

This was her room. This was hers and Qi An's warm home!

How could she be here? Her last memory was.....she was working in the office and then....

Mu Zheng came!

She suddenly remembered what had happened in the afternoon, immediately lifted off the quilt and got out of bed. She wanted to go to the living room to take a look.

She quietly opened the door and stole a look outside. At first glance, she saw her baby in the dining room, immediately felt relief. Qi An was sitting on a dining chair, opening his small mouth waiting to be fed.

Mu Zheng's back was facing her. He was half squatting in front of Qi An, one hand holding a cartoon pattern rice bowl, the other big hand was holding a small spoon scooping food from the rice bowl, feeding food into Qi An's little mouth.

Her eyes began to redden, she knew Mu Zheng would love this child!

"Ah! Mama woke up..." Qi An shouted as soon as he saw her and immediately stretched out his hands.

"Qi An..."

Just then, Mu Zheng also saw her and she had to obediently walk into the dining room.

"Mom, Daddy is feeding me." Qi An said happily with his eyes wide opened.

Daddy? While she was in deep slumber, they had taken the opportunity to become acquainted as father and son?

"Really?" She felt Mu Zheng's hot gaze on her and inevitably had to look up at him.

"In fact, Qi An knows how to feed himself. You don't have to feed him." She said uncomfortably.

"But I want to feed him!" Mu Zheng stressed.

Ye Ruwei once again felt her nose turned sour. She knew he wanted to recover the time lost between father and son.

"Qi An is a good boy. Can you watch TV on your own?" Mu Zheng patted his son's soft face gently and whispered.

"I want to watch 'The Hunter'!" His mother did not allow him to watch any fighting cartoon shows and he could only watch cartoon shows like 'Cherry Marble' and 'Doraemon' (both are Japanese cartoon shows for little children)

"Okay, go!"

"Yeah!"

Qi An happily ran over to switch on the TV. Ye Ruwei immediately frowned, did not agree and said. "Do not let him watch those violent shows, the child's mimicry is very strong. I do not want him, in future, to become..."

She suddenly stopped and did not continue. Mu Zheng understood what she wanted to say.

"Do not want him to become a bloody killer like his father, in future?"

Ye Ruwei was silent because he was right.

"I believe that Qi An has good judgment and he will choose the right path for his future because he has a good mother who loves and guides him."

If he also had a good mother to love him, today he would never have become the killer, Solitary Wolf.

"The last I remembered, I was in the company, how come I am at home?" She asked.

"You can't remember? You fainted in the company and I sent you back. Before I came back, I went to the nursery to pick up Qi An and there was some food in the fridge. I used that to fry some rice to feed him."

When he mentioned Qi An, she suddenly remembered Du Yingxuan's warning. Her face suddenly paled, quickly pushed his chest and anxiously said. "This afternoon, you said you want to see the child, now you have seen him, you can leave. Please do not appear before us again, after this!"

"What are you saying?" Mu Zheng stared at her as if she was a monster.

What is her heart made of? She had separated him from his son for four full years and now he got to see his son for only half a day and she was going to separate them again.

"Please, I beg you! Do not disturb our quiet life!"

"You seem to be scared. What are you afraid of?" Mu Zheng grabbed her hand and asked fiercely.

He was not blind. He could see that she was fearful of something but he did not know what it was.

"Let me go! Please leave! I beg you, for Qi An's sake, I beg you to leave us!"

Ye Ruwei was afraid. She knew Du Yingxuan was not just casually talking and she would really kill her and Qi An. That horrible woman would do anything!

After the birth of Qi An, once she had wanted to go and seek out Mu Zheng with her child but she was hit by a car. Luckily she was holding Qi An tightly and he was not injured but her back had taken the hit and it took her a long time to recuperate from her injury.

After the accident, the car quickly drove off and she could not see who was driving but when she came home, she found the word 'warning' painted in red paint on the wall. Then she knew that Du Yingxuan did not let her go completely and had always been monitoring her!

Since then, even if she missed Mu Zheng painfully, she dared not harbor the thought of seeking him.

"What are you saying?" Mu Zheng irritably raked his black hair.

"I want you to leave us! Do you understand?" Ye Ruwei was so fearful that she could not stand it anymore, she burst out shouting.

Mu Zheng frowned and looked in the direction of the sofa. Qi An was timidly looking at them with widened black pearl eyes.

"Dad, Mom....are you quarreling?" He asked frightfully.

"No!" Mu Zheng and Ye Ruwei simultaneously denied.

Ye Ruwei put on an uncomfortable smile and pretended to hold Mu Zheng's hands.

"I am chatting with your dad and I got a little excited. Let's go into the room to talk so that we will not disturb Qi An watch TV." She smiled and pulled Mu Zheng into the room and slammed the door shut.

In the room, Mu Zheng's eyes were like searchlights, staring at her without blinking his eyes.

"There must be something that is making you so fearful. As long as you tell me, what is making you so fearful, I will naturally leave."

She closed her eyes for a moment, opened her eyes and decided to tell him the truth.

"I'm afraid of a person, a woman."

"Woman? Who?" Mu Zheng never knew a woman could be so fearful.

She took a deep breath and said. "Du Yingxuan."

"You are afraid of her? Are you kidding?" It was unbelievable. Du Yingxuan was gentle, kind-hearted and she did not even step on ants, what was so terrible about her?

"I'm not kidding! In fact, it's not funny at all! Do you know what happened to me and Qi An over the years?"

Mu Zheng suspiciously shook his head.

Ye Ruwei with fear and tears in her eyes, narrated to him, the suffering she and her child had to endure for the past five years.

"In order not to let Qi An get hurt, I had to hide from you. I let you think that I do not love you anymore but in fact, it is not true. What I'm telling you now is the truth and Du Yingxuan has been threatening me and Qi An's life, forcing us to flee."

"How can this be?"

Mu Zheng still could not believe that Du Yingxuan who had sweetly called him Big Brother Solitary Wolf, would be so cunning and evil and who always had that innocent look, would also be a two-faced person.

His muttering and denial were like a knife cutting into the heart of Ye Ruwei.

He still did not believe her!

"If it was like that, why didn't you tell me?" Mu Zheng asked with doubt.

"If I had told you, would you believe me?" Ye Ruwei asked coldly.

Mu Zheng was speechless. Even now, he was still very much in doubt. If five years ago, definitely he would not believe her.

After a moment, he let out a sigh and decided. "I'll go back and see what is going on and I will investigate this matter."

"No....." Ye Ruwei desperately shook her head. "You cannot let Du Yingxuan know that we have met. Otherwise, she will kill me and Qi An!"

"I will not let her know. Don't worry!" He stroked her cheek and said softly. "I'm willing to choose to believe you and I hope you will believe me. I will deal with this.....really!"

Ye Ruwei bit her lips, looked at him and after a long while, only slowly nodded.

"I'll be back soon!"

He bowed his head and kissed her lips, then quickly opened the door and left.

Ye Ruwei raised her hand to touch the warmth left by him, her strength that had stayed hidden, finally completely collapsed.

She lay helplessly on the bed, crying involuntarily, she could no longer hide her grievances.

This nightmare, when would it end?

Late that night, Mu Zhen secretly entered DuZhengxian's Qianping Villa in Yanming Mountain.

This was Du Zhengxian's mansion but in actual fact, this was the base camp of Du's killer. Du Zhengxian kept his group of killers living inside the mansion and only Solitary Wolf lived alone outside because he disliked the feeling of a bird kept in a cage.

Du Zheng was an intelligent man. He knew the most dangerous place would be the safest place. Who would dare to casually conduct a search in his residence? No wonder he could secretly carry out evil deeds undetected and controlled the underworld unimpeded. On the surface, he was a good minister who worried for the country and the people. And in the Congress, he was compassionate and patriotic.

It was ironic!

Mu Zheng used the tip of the knife to disarm the alarm system in the house, then he climbed up to the second floor via the pipeline along the wall, passing by all the balconies, moving towards Du Yingxuan's room.

Passing by Du killer's exclusive area where the killers' individual rooms were located, he accidentally chanced upon a surprise.

"Ah!.... Ah!"

A lascivious moan sounded from the window of Scorpion's room. Mu Zheng frowned, he knew of Scorpion's lust for women but did not think he would be so brazen to bring a woman back to his room.

No.....something was not right!

He peeked into the window and saw a couple rolling on the bed. The woman was swinging wildly, sitting straddled across Scorpion's body. The woman looked familiar.

That waist length long black hair, the exquisite familiar back was....Du Yingxuan!

How could this be?

He was surprised and his eyes widen, then took another peek to reconfirm what he saw.

It was really Du Yingxuan! She flung up her head, rode her body up and down, forcefully pierced Scorpion's male pride into her own body and ecstatically stretched her pink tongue, licking her bright red lips and from time to time, crying out loudly.

Mu Zheng shook his head and felt that the person in front of him was not Du Yingxuan but one who was wearing the mask of a lustful temptress.

Is this the Du Yingxuan that he did not know of? He began to believe Ye Ruwei.

My God! How much did she suffer?

Not only, she had to endure her fear, the threats and also the long period of pregnancy all alone. Later, she had to face the birth of her child, the difficulties of raising her child and other major problems!

She was so afraid of pain and when she gave birth to Qi An, she must have cried until her tears were all dried up, right?

"Ah.....Oh!

From inside the room, came the sound of a man's roar and a woman's scream. The passion had clearly reached its peak.

The obscene moans finally stopped and a conversation began inside the room.

"Satisfied?" Scorpion asked reluctantly hoping to continue while fondling Du Yingxuan's breasts.

"Huh....so-so" Du Yingxuan scornfully gave a low humph.

The man that she had really wanted was Solitary Wolf. Father had promised to give her Solitary Wolf and let her deal with him, as she wished.

She looked forward to licking his sweet lips, his skill was the best of all the killers and his bedroom skills should also be the same, right?

"You think I do not know who you are craving for? Miss!" Scorpion used force to tweak her nipples and she cried out loud.

"What are you doing? Presumptuous!"

"Miss, do you think the Lord promised to give you Solitary Wolf, he will obediently climb into your bed? He is not like the rest of us, who have long admired you. To make him obey you is not an easy thing" Scorpion reminded her acidly.

"You do not have to worry about this!" Du Yingxuan got up naked from the bed, walked about the room without any self-consciousness. She picked up the sexy lingerie that was thrown on the floor and put them on. Then lifted up her long, pale legs and leisurely put on her stockings.

"As for Solitary Wolf, I have my way of handling him. As long as I put on my pitiful expression, I can twist him around my fingers and I will eventually make him take the initiative to climb into my bed!"

"Of course! You are his life-saving angel and he is forever obedient to you."

Scorpion hated himself for not being the person to save Solitary Wolf. If not, Solitary Wolf would now be his own obedient dog.

"Ha, it's funny. Solitary Wolf really thought I liked to save him? If my father had not forced me to take care of him, I would not even raise a finger to touch him! You did not see him then, his appearance looked so nauseous, dirty and smelly. Yellow pus was oozing out of his wounds, he was lying on the ground dying, like an infested dog, so sick and nauseous!"

Mu Zheng who was hiding in outside the window was transfixed.

Was this Du Yingxuan's perception of him at that time? He had thought she was an angel and in her eyes, he was a dog...a dying infested dog!

And he, for that stupid and absurd reason, had done evil and risked his life for this Du father and daughter, to the extent of being a killing machine. What had he done for the past two decades?

In this life, he had never felt so stupid. He was really so stupid!

He stood stiffly near the window a short while, then turned and left.

Standing outside Du's Villa, he was filled with emotion, taking a last look at this place which had harbored him for nearly two decades. He was clear that once he leaves, he would never be coming back in the future!

Turning his eyes away, he decided to turn to the other direction and disappeared at the end of the path, as fast as the night wind.
