Chapter 170: Deemed A King After Defeating The Enemy
Mu Yunfan was satisfied. “Don’t make any more mistakes. If you do, I’ll have to see what I can do to cure you.”
The woman was very sensitive to Mu Yunfan’s crazy tactics. He pinned her under him, squeezed her cheeks, and blocked her red lips evilly.
…
After Mu Yunfan left, Ning Qing locked the door to the bathroom and turned on the showerhead to wash up. She used warm water to vigorously wipe her lips, wanting to wash away the scent that Mu Yunfan left on her. She felt faint because she wanted to make this act seem real. She drank a lot of red wine, and was really starting to catch a buzz. After she bathed, she put on a conservative nightgown and lay on the bed to sleep. She did not know if Xu Junxi had pa.s.sed the contents of the note to Lu Shaoming.
She did not want to sleep, because she knew that there would be change coming at night, but she could not bear against the dizziness in her head. Her eyes closed shut and she fell asleep. When she was sleeping, she heard someone call her when she was still sleepy and unsure. “Ning Qing, Ning Qing.” She opened her eyes and there was a handsome and mesmerizing man in front of her. Ning Qing thought she was dreaming. She used her small hand to cup that person’s face, and she used her cold nose to nudge on and said softly, “Shaoming, is it you? You are here? Can you come here faster? I am afraid I won’t be able to persist for much longer. Mu Yunfan doesn’t have much patience, I am scared that he really…” Ning Qing paused and closed her eyes, reluctant to continue. “Really what?” The person asked gently. Ning Qing shook her head and said with a coy tone like a little girl, “I don’t dare to say, you will be angry if I say it.”
That person smiled gently, and kissed her. His lips were the ones from her memory, gentle and warm, pressing lightly on hers. He opened her mouth to kiss her. As she was being kissed, she felt drunk and light headed. All her senses were saying two words – so comfortable.
The two tangled up together for a long while before Ning Qing could realize something was wrong; this feeling was too real. She opened her eyes suddenly, the delicate and perfect face was up close to hers, and he closed his eyes and was kissing her with enjoyment. Ning Qing did not know if she was dreaming. She held out her small hand and slowly touched his thick lashes. His lashes were more beautiful than a woman’s. Before she could say anything, the man felt her lose concentration and had already opened his eyes. Smiling, he said in a pampering tone, “Why, you just gave me a slap, now you want to poke my eyes?” Ning Qing’s tears immediately rolled down her face. It was him, it was really him! Lu Shaoming was here.
Ning Qing used her small hand to wipe her tears and pushed him away quickly. “Shaoming, why are you here? This is Mu Yunfan’s territory. How can you put yourself in so much danger to come here?” Lu Shaoming used his hand to press onto her pillow and bent down to kiss her tears. “If I do not take on the danger, then how can you do so? How many times has it been, that you have taken the decisions in your own hands? You knew that Mu Yunfan had problems but you still followed him back to the villa; you are so bold.”
Ning Qing held onto the collar of his s.h.i.+rt and pouted her lips as she felt wronged. “You divorcing me and chasing me out the villa were both Mu Yunfan’s plans right? If that was the case, he definitely had the skills to make me return with him. Then I won’t bother struggling; I want to see what he actually wants to do.”
“So, you used your honey trap?” His voice did not have a hint of emotion, but Ning Qing still s.h.i.+vered in fear. She stretched out her hand to cup his neck and buried her little face deeply into his chest. Lu Shaoming used two fingers to cup her small chin, wanting to look at her. Ning Qing resisted him, not allowing him to do so, and she said softly, “Don’t look.” She did not want him to see her wounds on the sides of her lips. “What wasn’t supposed to be seen, I already saw long ago. Mu Yunfan kissed and bit you? At tonight’s gala, you wore a black s.e.xy dress. I thought you wore it for my sake, but actually, you wore it specially for Mu Yunfan to see. You were seducing him.”
Ning Qing did not know what to do. She stuttered as she tried explaining, “This was the best plan. He… He…” Ning Qing did not have the courage to continue speaking, she changed the subject and said, “He did not take advantage of me, Shaoming. Don’t be angry.” Lu Shaoming lowered his vision and saw the girl hiding in his embrace curled up into a small pink ball of fluff. Her long lashes that resembled a b.u.t.terfly’s wings were fluttering quickly, and she was not at peace.
He used his large hands to touch her neck. There was a rough red scar there. His dark eyes had a stern quality to them, but he tried to keep his voice to as gentle as he could. “He pinched you?”
Ning Qing nodded, “Yes.” She was afraid that he would take pity on her and she turned her head around and used two small hands to cup his handsome face. She lifted her body up and kissed him. “I am not in pain. I am fine.”
Lu Shaoming took a deep breath and went to block her mouth. Ning Qing slightly ducked and pushed him away quickly, “Shaoming, don’t be like this. This is Mu Yunfan’s territory. You…”
Lu Shaoming kissed her neck tenderly and said, “Don’t be afraid, everything has come to an end. It was just like you what predicted; Mu Yunfan went to look for that body double.” Everything came to an end? Ning Qing let out a sigh of relief.
…
Mu Yunfan came out from the dark room an hour later. He b.u.t.toned his s.h.i.+rt and was only a step out of the door, when suddenly a gun was pressed to his forehead. “Young Master Mu, don’t move.” Mu Yunfan squinted his eyes and lifted them to look. A row of bodyguards dressed in black were standing in the study. Butler Zhou was arrested. Zhu Rui stood by Butler Zhou’s side and politely smiled. “Young Master Mu, we have waited for some time.”
Butler Zhou said while trembling, “Young Master, our people were all killed. This villa has been taken over by Lu Shaoming.”
“Ah!” There was a woman who resembled Ning Qing down to a T. She was dragged out from the darkroom. Zhu Rui said to the bodyguards, “Get someone to bring her to the police station. Tell the head commissioner that the Ning Yao’s murderer has been found.”
“Yes, sir.” The bodyguards brought the woman away. Mu Yunfan’s chest panted vigorously. There was a gun by his head, and the villa had been surrounded by Lu Shaoming’s people. He could only watch as the woman got taken away. In a moment, he lost everything. “Where is Young Master Lu? I have a lot that I do not understand, and I need his tutelage.”
“Is Young Master Mu looking for me?” A melodious low voice rang out and Lu Shaoming walked in, with Ning Qing in his embrace.
Mu Yunfan looked at Ning Qing. She was dressed in a pink winter coat, her delicate small face was wrapped inside a white scarf. She looked beautiful. Her line of sight collided with his. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with an attractive glow. Mu Yunfan’s expression became vile immediately. He could tell what Ning Qing had done just now. Lu Shaoming held Ning Qing’s small hand and they clasped their fingers together. He laughed as he said, “Young Master Mu, on what you do not understand, I will answer all of your queries now.”
Mu Yunfan looked at their tightly clasped hands, and said, “This villa of mine had bodyguards everywhere; the security was high, but Young Master Lu was quickly able to attack the inside and got rid of my people. This only shows that Young Master Lu had surrounded my villa long ago, but you did not take further action until now.”
“Ha, Young Master Mu, you never did understand whose territory T City is. After you started to live in this villa, you had already fallen into my hands. Today, I almost trampled through the entire city, but still could not find that murderer. I did not think that Young Master Mu was so daring. The most dangerous place was also the safest, and this villa has a dark room. Not only did you hide the murderer inside, but you also entertained yourself inside.”
Mu Yunfan was not angry, he curled his lips into a cold smile and looked towards Ning Qing, “Qingqing, so you honeypotted me, purposely choosing to wear that dress to let me see you, and you pretended to be drunk and misled my feelings? You knew that I was deeply enchanted by you, but I could not get you; you knew that I would definitely go to find that body double.”
Ning Qing’s gaze was somewhat cold. “How one must treat a person depends on what kind of person they are. I am Lu Shaoming’s weakness. Similarly, I am also your weakness.”
“Ha, haha.” Mu Yunfan laughed twice and clapped. “Well said! I always used you to threaten Young Master Lu, but you still used other methods to retaliate. Only, you used a honey trap, and Young Master Lu came to attack the villa. How did you guys coordinate your actions?”
Ning Qing laughed gently, “Shaoming wanted to divorce me, and was also not willing to talk to me. This was all abnormal. I thought deeply and came to only one conclusion. You placed a wiretap on him and monitored each and every move of his. Since I was unable to communicate with him, I thought of how to pa.s.s the message on to him…” Mu Yunfan’s eyes brightened up and he said one word at a time as he clenched his teeth, “Xu Junxi!”
“Yes, it was Xu Junxi. Ning Yao pa.s.sed away, and I entered the police station. He would definitely be very worried about me. He would hear that I was together with you, and when he knew that I was attending the dinner gala, he would also definitely rush there. So, I pa.s.sed him a note; it read – Shao Ming, Honey Trap.”
Lu Shaoming continued to speak, “After you two left, Xu Junxi arranged for someone to hold up a sign outside the banquet hall bearing two words: Honey Trap. I saw it and understood.”
Mu Yunfan was furious. His delicate face was twitching. He saw Ning Qing’s coldness and said with a smile, “I really did not think, Qingqing, that you would make use of Xu Junxi and my feelings for you to play with me like that. You fooled all of us.”
What kind of person was Xu Junxi? He also liked Ning Qing; he should not hope for Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming to be together, but at this crucial point, he actually helped Ning Qing.
Ning Qing’s dominance over this man put him in a state of awe. Ning Qing frowned lightly. “Mu Yunfan, do you have feelings for me? You used the name of love to selfishly dominate me. We usually term this, ‘seizing by force.’”
“Haha.” Mu Yunfan could not stop laughing. “Qingqing, when did you know that Young Master Lu was forced by me, and that I was the mastermind behind it all?”
“In the villa, Shaoming gave me the divorce papers. He said that the reason behind the divorce was that I changed and had become complicated, and he was unable to continue liking me. He also asked me to take care of myself. Ah, I was thinking about Shaoming’s words when you appeared. When you first appeared, you were exceptionally bright. Shaoming would not divorce me, unless someone was threatening him. How would be threatened by someone, unless there was someone making use of a possible prison sentence to do so?”
Ning Qing did not harbour further hope on Mu Yunfan. She said her words calmly like a still sea. “Only, Mu Yunfan, I didn’t recognize your evil path for so long. Ning Yao was also your old acquaintance; that fetus was only at 5 months! You used two lives to trap me into this scheme. Did you ever have an ounce of guilt?”
Mu Yunfan shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. “A person like Ning Yao, she was a dead tool in my eyes. She should thank me; I made her death worthy.”
Ning Qing closed her eyes. Her Brother Yunfan was already dead. Lu Shaoming noticed her low spirits, and he stretched his hand out to cup her shoulders. He said to Mu Yunfan, “Young Master Mu, I did once say to you that we would see as we go. This was not because I had the confidence to surely win, but it was because Ning Qing was not anyone’s prize for winning this battle. She has her won independence using forethought and intelligence.”
“Oh, is that right?” Mu Yunfan looked Ning Qing calmly. “Qingqing, winning or losing is in the eye of the beholder. How do you plan to deal with me now?”
“It is not up to me to decide how to deal with you, but the kidnapping in the warehouse along with premediated murder – the laws of this country would deal with you appropriately,” Ning Qing said softly.
