Ming Shu stretched and smiled . “Is the supper ready? I’m so hungry!”

Jiang Duo saw that Ming Shu was perfectly fine and didn’t know what to say . “Very soon . ”
Ming Shu finished the supper and returned to her room . She never came out after that .
Jiang Duo looked at the closed door and felt a bit worried .
How did Qin Che get kidnap? Xiao Li…
Jiang Duo sat on the sofa and let her imagination run wild . The rain got heavier . The splattering sounds felt as though they were hitting right into people’s hearts .
Kacha—
Jiang Duo immediately looked up and saw the shadow against the door .
“You’re not asleep yet?” Ming Shu said casually, “Rest early . ”
“Xiao Li… are you going out?” Ming Shu looked at the fully dressed Ming Shu .
“Yes . ” Ming Shu gave a light smile . “I want to eat custard buns tomorrow . Remember to make more . ”
Jiang Duo was stunned for a while . Her heart started to feel anxious without any warning . She wanted to stop her, but no words would come out of her mouth .
She had lived with Xiao Li for so long . When she decided on something, she would do it even if she promised that she wouldn’t . No one could stop her .
She agreed after a while . “Okay . ”
After that, she added, “I’ll wait for you to come back . ”
Ming Shu gave a gentle smile . The light fell on her eyes . Gentleness seemed to seep out from them .
Ming Shu picked up an umbrella . Jiang Duo sent her to the door and watched as she climbed down the stairs and walked out of the building, disappearing into the rain with the umbrella .
Jiang Duo grabbed the rusty rails and asked herself, “Are you going to find him?”

The scenery outside flashed past, forming unique images through the rain and lights . There were only a few cars on the road . The whole city seemed to be engulfed in the heavy rain .
“We’ve arrived, Miss . ”
The girl sitting in the backseat came to attention and passed the driver his money .
“Little girl, this is such a desolate area and it’s so late at night . Please be careful,” the driver reminded her as he looked for change .
“Thank you . Keep the change . ” The girl opened the door and got off the car . Her voice was gentle as she said, “Thanks for sending me to a distant location”
The driver’s response was locked in the car as the girl opened the umbrella and casually walked toward a building not far away .
The rain splattered onto the umbrella and formed a rhythm in the rainy night .
Ming Shu stepped on the dirty, muddy ground and got closer to the building one step at a time .
In the building…
He Shuguo placed his hands behind his back and walked back and forth . In the end, he stopped in front of the man that was tied up . “Qin Che, what is the point of holding on for so long?”
Qin Che’s mouth was taped shut and he couldn’t say anything .
He Shuguo tore off the tape covering his mouth .
Qin Che sneered and looked at him mockingly . He didn’t say anything .
He Shuguo exchanged glances with Qin Che for a few seconds and shifted his gaze away . “Since you’re my nephew, I will send you overseas once you sign your name . You will not have to worry about your living expenses at all . How about that?”
Qin Che didn’t reply . He just stared at He Shuguo .
“Don’t make me lose my patience . ” He Shuguo was a bit angry . “Who can save you now? Your men are all far away and the rest of the people here are all under me . Are you counting on the police?”
If Qin Che didn’t force him so much, he would not take this step .

“Mister He, long time no see . How are you?”
A girl’s clear voice sounded from afar .
Qin Che’s eyes widened . Why is she here?
The girl smiled and walked out from the shadows . She was holding an umbrella and it was dripping water from its tip . As she walked, the formed a zigzag pattern on the floor .
Qin Che looked at Ming Shu as she came closer and finally reacted . He shouted in a deep voice, “This has nothing to do with her! Let her go . ”
“Oh, you finally bother to talk?” He Shuguo was shocked . “Seems like my non-blood-related niece is very important to you . ”
“He Shuguo, if you dare touch her, I will make you regret it . ” Qin Che got serious .
“Hahahaha… interesting . ” He Shuguo clapped and laughed .
He turned his head and looked at Miss Ruan . “Miss Ruan actually dared to come?”
Ming Shu smiled before she replied, “If you dare to invite me, I will dare to come . ”
Qin Che’s voice was a bit hoarse . He stared at Ming Shu closely . “Ruan Li, leave this place . This has nothing to do with you . ”
Ming Shu shook her head and grinned . “That’s not possible . The other party personally sent me an invitation . How can I disappoint them? Am I correct, Boss Shen?”
She looked at He Shuguo, but called him Boss Shen instead .
He Shuguo felt terror in his heart and instinctively looked somewhere .
Qin Che seemed to know everything already and didn’t look surprised at all . He just stared at Ming Shu, worried that she would be in danger .
A lean figure walked out from the shadows and said in a tone that was either mocking or filled with disdain, “Miss Ruan is definitely smarter than others . ”
Ming Shu placed the tip of the umbrella on the ground and gently spun it twice . Water splashed everywhere . “Thanks for your compliment, even though you were not very amazing . ”
“I’m curious . How did you find out?”
Shen Yuanzhao stood against the light . His face was in the shadows and his expression couldn’t be seen .
Ming Shu continued spinning the umbrella . “Boss Shen, do you think that my status as the heir of the Ruan family is just a joke?”
Although the Ruan family was not based here, it was not difficult for them to get some information .
What’s more, she was always keeping an eye on He Shuguo and Shen Yuanzhao . Did they really think that she stopped doing anything when she said she quit?
She knew exactly what the two of them did .
“I forgot . ” Shen Yuanzhao paused . “Did Miss Ruan come alone? Should I call you courageous or should I call you stupid?”
“Because…” Ming Shu dragged her words out . Her smile got even brighter . “There are some secrets that can’t be found out by anyone . ”
Shen Yuanzhao could see the expression on her face clearly .
She seemed to only know how to smile .
There was no anger, no worry, no suspicion, no vigilance…
She was like an inexperienced child—harmless .
However, Shen Yuanzhao was not so relaxed . If this girl was as harmless as she looked, he would not have fallen victim to her so many times .
Shen Yuanzhao raised his hand .
Several men in black came out of the shadows and pointed their guns at Ming Shu .
The umbrella was still spinning .
Around and around…
Ming Shu smiled slightly . “Seems like Boss Shen is the one that wants my life . ”
Shen Yuanzhao frowned and glanced sideways at He Shuguo . “Mister He, it’s up to you now . ”
He Shuguo was thinking about something . He only turned his head when Shen Yuanzhao called him a second time . He said with a cold expression, “Qin Che, if you don’t agree, I will have to ask Miss Ruan to wait for you downstairs . ”
Shen Yuanzhao wanted Ming Shu’s life . This was his condition for working together .
Even if Qin Che agreed to He Shuguo’s request, Ming Shu would not meet with a good ending .
He Shuguo understood this, but he was caught in a dilemma . If the girl couldn’t be saved…
It wouldn’t be his fault .
Qin Che mouth formed a sneer and looked at the girl spinning her umbrella calmly within the crowd . He asked seriously, “Who are you here for?”
For him?
Or is…
The umbrella stopped spinning and a slim hand grabbed its handle .
The girl slowly smiled . “Of course it’s for me . ”
Things happened so fast that He Shuguo and Shen Yuanzhao didn’t have any time to react .
The minute Ming Shu finished her sentence, she attacked . The tip of the umbrella suddenly became sharp and it accurately pierced into the shoulder of the nearest target .
Boom—
A gunshot .
It echoed through the empty building .
Qin Che’s view was filled with blood . Before he could react to that answer, Ming Shu’s body had already fallen slowly down .
