161 What Should Come, Will Come
Sang Minglang had just arrived at his previous residence.
He saw Ruan Xiaoshuang sitting silently by the door, hugging her knees with her head lowered. He didn’t know what she was thinking.
Hearing the footsteps, a flash of surprise appeared in her eyes as she stood up in a hurry.
Sang Minglang looked down at her from above. “Ruan Xiaoshuang, are you really unable to find a man? Why do you keep coming to me?”
His tone was frivolous and cold. “Why? Am I that unforgettable in bed?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. “Minglang, you know that I didn’t come to you for that.”
“Stop crying everytime you see me, you make it seem like I’m bullying you.”
Seeing her like this, Sang Minglang felt a little irritated for some reason, “Didn’t you want to see me? Well, what is it? Speak up.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang suppressed her emotions. “I’m in Ming City because of a job transfer… I can barely be considered as someone with a say in the company, but if you want to work, I can help you out…”
Sang Minglang stared at her for two seconds, “Are you really planning to meddle in my business now? Ruan Xiaoshuang, just what do you want?”
Ruan Xiaoshuang was stunned for a moment. “Minglang, I told you the truth last time. I really don’t have a husband. I know I let you down in the past, but now I… I don’t dare to expect your forgiveness. However, I just want to do something for you…”
“So, you came to me just to satisfy your pitiful guilt?”
Sang Minglang’s expression darkened. He pulled her hand over and stuffed the card into her hand, “I don’t need you to do anything. Take your things and get lost.”
Ruan Xiaoshuang held the card and had so many words in her heart that she wanted to say, but she couldn’t.
It was true she felt guilty towards Sang Minglang, but she had come to find him time and time again. Of course, it wasn’t just because she felt guilty toward him.
She hoped to get back on good terms with Sang Minglang. However, if she said that now, it would only seem like she was overthinking.
Seeing that she was just standing there without moving, Sang Minglang sized her up from head to toe. His gaze unscrupulously swept past her face, exposed collarbones, slender waist, and her straight legs.
Sang Minglang raised his brows and frowned slightly, “You’re still not leaving? Do you really want it like last time? That’s fine. Since you’re selling for free, I’ll take your offer…”
‘Pa!’
Ruan Xiaoshuang shivered and slapped him with her cold fingers. She didn’t use much strength, but the sound was very clear in the quiet corridor.
Sang Minglang’s expression suddenly turned cold as he glared at Ruan Xiaoshuang with a dark expression. “Who the f*ck gave you the guts to lay a hand on me? Ruan Xiaoshuang, you really think I don’t hit women…”
His words came to an abrupt end when a string of crystal-clear tears rolled down the woman’s pale face.
“Sang Minglang, I guess you really are despicable.”
Her eyes were red as her voice trembled. “If you’re really treating me like this just so I won’t bother you… Then, as you wish, I won’t come back anymore.”
Turning around, she left quickly. Her hair, which carried a once familiar shampoo scent to Sang Minglang, brushed past his shirt.
Sang Minglang stood there for a long while until the lights in the corridor went out.
He leaned against the wall and lit a cigarette he took out from his pocket. The torch’s light flickered in the night.
Since seven years ago, the once thick and bottomless love turned into unforgettable hatred, and then it gradually dissipated.
Sang Minglang thought that he could face the past with no fear. However, when he met Ruan Xiaoshuang again, he found that he still lost terribly.
When he heard that she was in Ming City, he immediately rushed over and deliberately pretended to be a bad person. He spoke rudely and wanted to take revenge on her ruthlessly. It was a ridiculous night.
However, after the absurdity, he realized that he still missed that woman. He missed her taste and everything about her.
There were even more absurd thoughts in his mind.
Sang Minglang had to use up all his rationality in this life to stop himself from getting close to that poppy-like poison.
He was indeed a little despicable. However, if he didn’t do this, Ruan Xiaoshuang would still come to him.
As for him, he really didn’t know how much longer he could resist.
Seven years had pa.s.sed between the two of them, and they still knew nothing about each other. Their future was still unclear.
it was better not to start a relationship that might not have any results at all.
He had already made a mistake once. He couldn’t be so foolish as to make the same mistake a second time.
The cigarette in his hand burned his fingers, and Sang Minglang was dazed and shocked. He expressionlessly put the cigarette out and went downstairs.

A few days pa.s.sed by peacefully.
However, there was no progress in the shooting.
The building was more than thirty stories high. By simulating the direction where the bullet came from when Shen Hanyu was shot, the police had locked onto the tenth floor to the top floor, and conducted a thorough investigation of the people who appeared on these floors.
The investigation effort was not small, but almost everyone could be eliminated from suspicion through witnesses’ testimonies or monitoring.
In other words, these people were working at that time, so it was impossible for them to carry out a shooting.
Guo Muyang had thoroughly investigated the key suspects’ information from inside out, and he wished he could even dig out all of their ancestors.
However, the conclusion was even more depressing than the police’s result. Not only did these people not have the time, but they also did not have the ability to plan the shooting.
They were just ordinary office workers who worked hard for their daily necessities. They couldn’t even come into contact with guns.
The investigation came to a standstill, and the shooting case became an unsolved case.
“If that’s the case, then we’ll wait.”
“They’ll come back sooner or later,” Shen Hanyu said.
“What I’m afraid of is that the other party will come again.”
For the first time, Guo Muyang felt unspeakable anxiety and worry. The note left in the bullet was for Hanyu to stay away from Sang Qianqian.
Not only did Hanyu not do so, he was even about to hold a wedding with Sang Qianqian. What if the other party caused trouble at the wedding?
Shen Hanyu closed the doc.u.ments in his hand and looked at him. “Are you that unconfident in the police and your arrangements?”
“I’m still confident, but… I’m a little uneasy.”
Over the years, Guo Muyang and Shen Hanyu had been through a lot. Their tracking techniques gradually improved, and sometimes even the police had to rely on the clues they found.
But this time, their investigation went miserably every single time, and they hadn’t even found the culprit’s shadow.
It was as if the shooter disappeared into thin air.
Shen Hanyu’s eyebrows were furrowed as he calmly said, “What should come, will come.”
There was no way he would comply with what the other party wanted him to do. Therefore, trouble was inevitable.
“We can only deal with it as it comes.”
Guo Muyang nodded, “I’ve increased the number of people around you and Miss Sang. I’ll talk to the police about the wedding arrangements in the next two days, and I guarantee that nothing will go wrong.”

In a certain high-end and luxurious wedding dress shop.
The man was casually flipping through a magazine on the sofa. When he heard footsteps, he looked up.
He saw Sang Qianqian, who was wearing a white wedding dress, coming out of the fitting room under the staff’s guidance.
