Four hundred forty

For the sake of harmony, some modifications were made to this chapter!With a choked sob, she buried her face in his chest, her voice laced with distress. Upon hearing this, Rong Ling's anger flared within him like a volcano erupting, swelling rapidly. Gazing upon the five distinct fingermarks imprinted on her usually delicate neck, his eyes turned cold and cruel, murderous intent surging through him.

He glared at Li Lanqiu.

Li Lanqiu cried urgently.

"Listen, don't believe Lin Meng's words. I almost lost my life. Look here, right here…"

She pointed to her own neck, which also had fingerprints, and then to the back of her head where the blood had almost clotted but left a distinct dark brown mark. She cried tears that flowed freely.

"My head is about to be smashed by Lin Meng! Lin Meng wants to kill me, she's too ruthless!"

“You smashed your own head!” Lin Meng raised her head from Rong’s embrace, glaring fiercely and coldly at Li Lanqiu. “I’m not like you, I admit to what I’ve done. I did strangle you, but you strangled me first. Back then, I was almost choked to death by you. Then suddenly you fell, your strength weakened, and I managed to pull away your hand and strangle you back. But then you suddenly smashed your own head— ”

"How ridiculous, you actually hit your own head! Lin Meng, even when lying, you should at least make it believable. Who would self-harm like that Smash their own head I'm still young and want to live! Smash my own head! Haha, am I tired of living Do I want to die! Your head, if messed up, could kill you!"

Lin Meng was blocked and then coldly responded, wittily rebutting.

"It's because you smashed it yourself that you can control the force. How could someone die if you're the one in control"

Li Lanqiu's heart tightened, but at this moment, she had to bite the bullet and insist that it was Lin Meng who was trying to harm her.

"How could I possibly have that kind of ability" she scoffed, dripping with sarcasm. "Do you think smashing your head is that entertaining It's clear you're ruthless and wanted to kill me! Thankfully others arrived in time, or you would have succeeded! Rong Ling—" She turned to Rong Ling, pointing angrily at Lin Meng. "She was going to steal from you!"

"You're the one who stole things!" Lin Meng retorted coldly.

Li Lanqiu immediately retorted sharply. "That's your U disk. After I found it, you wanted to leave, and I stopped you. You wanted to kill me to silence me. Now you want to deny it!"

"That's not my USB drive, it's yours!" Unfortunately, Lin Meng's voice was already hoarse from shouting. In the comparison of volume, she couldn't compete with Li Lanqiu at all.

Li Lanqiu glared angrily and shouted, “You wanted to put that thing in the bag, but after I stopped you, you threw both the thing and the bag away! Lin Meng, things have come to this, what are you still trying to argue! Rong Ling, listen to me——”

Lin Meng exclaimed urgently, just about to retort, when Rong Ling pulled him back.

"Hush, listen to her first."

Lin Meng's lips trembled instantly. Li Lanqiu was immediately delighted, thinking to herself, wasn't this the beginning of Rong Ling favoring her She had said it before, women are like clothes, so they can be easily taken off from a man's body. It was easy for Lin Meng to be defeated by her.

"That's it," she cleared her throat and said urgently. "When I was out for a walk, I saw from afar that the door to this room was open, which seemed strange to me because when those two children went in earlier, I distinctly remember the door to this room being closed. Out of curiosity, I came over, and then I discovered that this room is connected to your study! What surprised me even more was that Lin Meng was sitting behind your computer. When she saw me, she panicked, jumped up abruptly, and asked me what I was doing here, as if she didn't want me to be seen at all."

I just found it strange. Didn't she say she was very sick Why would she be here, looking so flustered Then I thought, your study, when you're not around, is always locked, and it's not supposed to be entered casually. So at that time, I walked towards Lin Meng..tw[]Lin Meng then ordered me not to come over and told me to leave. I felt very strange in my heart, so I asked her what she was doing, how she got into the study, and if she knew about this. She suddenly changed her face, pulled out a U disk, and hurried out.

"I just felt even more wrong, so I tentatively asked her if she was stealing data. She yelled at me to mind my own business and said I wasn't qualified. The more I thought about it, the more wrong it felt. Before she could put the U disk in her bag, I rushed over and grabbed it from her. She held on tight, it was clear that I had guessed right. Then, during the struggle, her bag flew away, the U disk flew away, and we both ended up wrestling together. Lin Meng yelled at me, saying that even keeping me around was a nuisance and that I was here to steal her man. She then grabbed my neck and shouted for help, saying I was going to die today! I was terrified and immediately retaliated by grabbing her neck too. But my leg had been stabbed by someone before, and my body wasn't feeling well. I was no match for Lin Meng. In the end, she pinned me down. She saw that I wasn't dying quickly enough, and there were people calling her name outside, seemingly about to arrive. So, she grabbed my head and smashed it against the ground. She was really vicious, her thoughts were so evil. I never saw this side of her before."

"As she spoke, tears streamed down her face as she sobbed. "If it weren't for this lady and all of you arriving in time, I'm afraid Lin Meng would have killed me already, sniffle...sniffle..." She looked at Rong Ling, her eyes filled with tears. "Rong, you must do something for me! I was just sitting here when disaster struck from above. At the time, I was trying to save her from being stolen from your computer data, so I stopped him. Unexpectedly, in the end...sniffle...sniffle..."

She cried heartbrokenly, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Meng looked, and the anger in her heart seemed to grow with the wind, surging up wildly. Turning her head towards Rong Ling, she used a stubborn effort to mask her pain and vulnerability, asking in a hoarse voice.

Can I speak now!

Rong Ling nodded.

Lin Meng slowly told what had happened. Her speaking speed was noticeably slower than Li Lanqiu's, and in some parts, she paused, giving the impression that she seemed to be recalling things carefully. But there was also another possibility, she seemed to be trying hard to weave a lie.

Li Lanqiu listened, a sneer rising in her heart. What a foolish woman, could she possibly defeat her! An untrained person and a trained one, could they ever be the same! Besides, all the evidence would point to her innocence.

Pleased with her own thoughts, Li Lanqiu couldn't wait to question Lin Meng after he finished speaking.

"You're lying! Lin Meng, you're so awful, you're actually lying!" After finishing her words, she expressed great indignation and anger. "You came here sick, that's already a problem, and besides, both little ones were looking up to you! You yourself should explain, what are you doing in this situation! And—"

Her eyes suddenly lit up. "It wouldn't be too difficult to find out who owns this hard drive, or who accessed the computer. After all, there are always fingerprints on these things. Just a quick check and we'll know who touched it!"

Lin Meng was surprised. Li Lanqiu actually dared to say this. It was clearly her doing, and she had actually brought up the thing that was most detrimental to her herself. Was she crazy! But unexpectedly, Li Lanqiu spoke again.

"Lin Meng, you're frightened, aren't you Guilty Look, you might as well confess sooner rather than later. Otherwise, when the truth comes out, it will be embarrassing for you!"

“What am I afraid of You should be the one feeling guilty. I'm not afraid of being investigated. (..tw無彈窗廣告) If you want to investigate, go ahead. Who's afraid But you, Li Lanqiu, just wait until then, I'll make sure you regret this.”

Saying that, she instinctively felt something was wrong. Because Li Lanqiu was now too calm, too confident, as if she had determined that the one who was guilty in the end was her. She had a very bad premonition and suddenly remembered being knocked unconscious by Li Lanqiu at the time, and then remembering being woken up by her later. There was something...

Her heart skipped a beat, her face paled slightly, and she had a growing sense that something was about to go wrong.

"I…" she started, her voice choked with urgency to say something, but the words caught in her throat. The sharp, loud interruption from Rong Ling drowned out everything else.

"No need to look any further, I trust MengMeng!"

She was taken aback by a sudden surge of intense emotion. It hit her like a tidal wave, making her whole body tingle with a strange sensation. His voice, it was like lightning splitting through the clouds – so shocking and brilliant, illuminating the entire overcast sky!

Her eyes suddenly brightened.

And Li Lanqiu stared in disbelief, her eyes wide, and screamed. "What!"

"I believe in Mengmeng." Rong Ling said coldly, his eyes fixed on Li Lanqiu with a piercing gaze. "Li Lanqiu, I can't let you stay here any longer, leave at once!"

He clearly kicked him out.

But why, why didn't he investigate at all and just believed Lin Meng He wasn't acting favorably towards her at first, wasn't he! And she thought her own words were much more complete than Lin Meng's, Lin Meng is full of doubts!

"Why do I have to leave!" Li Lanqiu roared, her voice filled with agitation. "It was Lin Meng who committed the crime, why am I being made to leave! Rong, what are you thinking!"

"I've made myself clear, I believe in Mengmeng, you leave!"

"No, I don't want to leave. I did nothing wrong, why should I leave You check! You have people check! That USB drive and that computer definitely have Lin Meng's fingerprints on them. This kind of thing isn't difficult to do at all, it'll only take a while. Why don't you check Rong, you can't be so biased towards Lin Meng, this is too much!"

There's no need to investigate this at all, I trust my wife!

"Why don't you just check!" Li Lanqiu was so angry she almost spat blood.

Rong Ling coldly and ruthlessly ordered Zun Shu. "Send someone to pack up Li Lanqiu's things and have her leave immediately."

"Tolerate--"

Li Lanqiu's voice turned shrill, staring at him in disbelief.

"How could you do this!" She turned to address the crowd, her voice laced with anger. "Your actions are simply not convincing. With so many people here, everyone saw how you were favoring Lin Meng and protecting him. What you did is disgraceful, utterly shameful, and will make you appear contemptible. As for Lin Meng, don't even think about being cleared of these accusations, or having anyone look up to him."

"I'm protecting your face!" Rong Ling suddenly said, his eyes cold and unfathomable. "Mengmeng doesn't need to be cleared of suspicion; she is innocent by nature."

Li Lanqiu's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Rong Ling was... he knew something, didn't he! No, it couldn't be possible!

He again wore an arrogant expression and said in a cold voice, "My words are the truth. As long as I say it, everyone here will believe it. Li Lanqiu, I don't know why you did this. You almost killed my wife, so I can't keep you. I have already shown you mercy!"

"Uncle, " he shouted, "Escort Miss Li back!"

"No, I won't leave, I won't. I'm not wrong, I'm not wrong..."

"Uncle Zun gestured for the two men to come forward and grab Li Lanqiu, saying, "Miss Li, it's best if you come with us willingly. Otherwise, being carried away by others wouldn't be very pleasant!"

Li Lanqiu was really anxious, and she burst into tears at once.

"Don't come any closer, if you dare to come closer, I'll jump!"

Saying that, she darted back to the window sill, staring at Rong Ling with despair etched on her face, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Isn't she just your wife Isn't she capable of giving birth to a son for you You protect her so much, wuu~ Rongling, you're too cruel, too ruthless! I could have been okay too, think about it, why couldn't I be okay Wuu... As soon as I go out, someone wants to kill me. I just wanted to stay here for a while, to protect my life, why are you so cruel, not giving me any mercy! Three days, it's almost here! Are you going to watch me die! Wuu...”

She cried and crawled to the window, her movements surprisingly agile. In a flash, half of her body was out the window.

"If you throw me out, I'll die right here in front of you! I'm going to jump off right now and end it all!"

This is his trump card, he definitely won't let her die, he definitely won't. Her mission isn't finished, she can't leave, she has to stay here.

"I'll die for you to see, die for you to see, anyway you're sending me to death, sob sob, then I'll die for you to see…"

She repeated it over and over, her eyes misty with tears, looking pitifully at Rong Ling.

Lin Meng pursed her lips, clutching Rong Ling's arm tightly. Her heart was filled with a mixture of fear and anger. This woman, again with this trick! She was simply infuriating! If she wanted to die, then go ahead and die!

Little did she know, as soon as this thought flashed through her mind, she heard...

"Then go die!" The icy voice soared high, tinged with the chill of ice colliding, causing one's spirit to suddenly clear and turn frigidly cold.

She incredulously lifted her face, looking at the man who held her tightly. She saw his Adam's apple bobbing and his jaw trembling, and only then did she believe that the words she had just heard truly came from him.

Then you just die, jump off from here, I'll notify your parents to come and collect your body!

The penetrating voice, carrying that relentless coldness, sent a shiver down one's spine!

It's unbelievable that this man would say such things!

Those present were only Zun Shu and Miao Qing. They merely cast a faint look of surprise before returning to their composure. Ruthlessness and cruelty were Rong Ling's nature. After all these years, hadn't they seen enough! It was only because after Lin Meng returned to the country, he gradually showed a human side, expressing warmth and affection, especially during the period before marriage and afterward in his treatment of Lin Meng, displaying a gentle and considerate demeanor, that people were temporarily deceived by his facade. But the truth is, Rong Ling remained Rong Ling. No matter how he treated Lin Meng, when it came to those he ostracized, he would be merciless, even making you regret being born into this world!

Li Lanqiu was also stunned, tears hanging from the corner of her eyes, just staring blankly at Rong Ling. Her appearance looked a bit silly and funny.

She couldn't have imagined that Rong Ling would actually say such things!

What's going on!

Is this still cyberbullying!

Could this man in front of me be like her, wearing someone else's skin

Being watched by that man's cold eyes, and seeing his eyes devoid of warmth, along with his tall figure that radiated coldness and indifference, and his arrogant aura that looked down on everything, she immediately denied her own thoughts!

No, this man must be Rong Ling. No matter how much someone disguises themselves or imitates him, they can't learn Rong Ling's unique aura!

There is only one Rongling in this world, unique and unmatched!

How can you say such things if you are tolerant and understanding

"I... I really will jump..." She said it trembling, her voice weak. Her eyes began to dart around nervously.

"Then just jump! No one will stop you!" He spoke cruelly, his thin lips uttering words devoid of compassion. The pale red hue seemed to gleam with a bloody light.

She was scared, but also for the ruthlessness that flashed in her eyes at that moment.

"I... I can really jump..."

Her hand on the window frame was already trembling. She shuffled her buttocks nervously, leaning her body out the window, her face pale, revealing the utmost vulnerability and resistance. In reality, her heart was locked in a fierce internal struggle.

Jump!

Still not jumping!

If you don't leave, looking at the current situation, it seems like staying isn't an option. This creepy Rong Ling is acting strange today, completely heartless and cold.

If she jumped, with her skill, she could control her own injuries and should also scare Rong Ling, making him feel affection for her again, but——

No, thinking of what she had hidden under her skirt, she resolutely denied the decision to jump. Those things absolutely couldn't be discovered. Rong Ling just said he didn't know why she did it, this didn't prove that Rong Ling had condemned her for anything, but it could explain that the most important thing was, Rong Ling still didn't know everything, and there was still room to turn things around.

Listening, the cold man continued.

"Need me to help you!"

It seemed like they were going to send her out the window!

Such ruthlessness!

So venomous!

She immediately broke down, gritting her teeth and crying out, "Wah!" She jumped right out the window.

She didn't jump, she stepped back onto the floor.

"Rong Ling, you've gone too far..."

Wailing, she stumbled through her steps, brushing past Rong Ling, and ran out of the house.

"Follow her and see her off." Rong Ling issued the order ruthlessly, his eyes filled with malice.

Uncle Zun immediately set out to pursue Li Lanqiu in person. Rong Ling was right, his words were the truth, and no one here would doubt his words. They were limited in intellect and couldn't see through the clues that Rong Ling used to frame things this way, which only proved their incompetence. But they blindly believed him without any reason!

He just has the skills and charm!

Why believe me!

Lin Meng asked softly, this was her biggest doubt, she also needed Rong Ling to explain it to her personally, and let that explanation be heard by others. She was innocent, she didn't want to suffer an unjust accusation at all, so she wanted to know the basis of his judgment.

She thought he would list things logically, one by one, but all he said was one sentence.

Because, you are my wife. I don't trust you, who else can I trust!

I highly recommend my friend's article: "Wife, Come Back Home" http://read.xxx/info/368040.html. The book introduction has a link, click it to go directly ^_^

A year ago, she was defeated at a blind date by the young master Lan and fell into his trap ever since.

One year after her marriage, her best friend gave her a stack of photos. The "double flying swallows" in the pictures made her vomit repeatedly.

Is she pregnant... >e was a veil between them. They were so close, yet who knew how far apart they truly were behind that veil!"Good girl," he murmured, gazing intently into her eyes, and kissed her softly on the lips.Sh...
