The Kang family's old residence, in the courtyard.

The sky was sunny at noon, but suddenly darkened.

Large swaths of dark clouds are approaching menacingly, like a wild beast with teeth and claws, threatening to bring a devastating disaster to the world.

The originally spacious and sunny courtyard suddenly became gloomy and depressing.

Kang Ruicheng was lying on a finely carved recliner, looking at the sky, tapping the armrests of the recliner with his knuckles - his thoughtful look matched the rhythm of his hands, which made people feel inexplicably weird.

Dongzi hurried back from outside and saw Kang Ruicheng lying in the yard. He came over and reminded: "Brother Cheng, it might rain."

After a while, Kang Ruicheng stopped and said, "I know."

It's going to rain.

Moreover, it is very likely that it will be a heavy rainstorm that will last for a long time.

Dongzi didn't realize that Kang Ruicheng's answer had any profound meaning, so he continued: "Brother Cheng, go back to the house, otherwise it will be too late."

Today's weather is very much like midsummer in June - the sky is clear one second, and the next second there are dark clouds, and dense raindrops come at a moment's notice, without giving anyone any time to react.

The result of such weather is often: a heavy rain falls so hard and fast that it seems to flood the entire world and turn the world into purgatory.

Facts have proved that Dongzi is indeed a very far-sighted person.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound on the roof, and raindrops splashed on the ground, like broken flowers.

Dongzi looked up at the sky - he knew it would rain, but he didn't expect it to rain so quickly.

He urged Kang Ruicheng again: "Brother Cheng, go back and hide from the rain."

"...hide?" Kang Ruicheng stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops, and the corners of his lips curved in a mysterious arc, "...you can't hide from this rain."

"..."

Dongzi almost asked, why can't you avoid it?

Just run inside the house!

However, the fact that he has been with Kang Ruicheng for so many years is enough to prove that he is not a noob.

He soon understood that Kang Ruicheng's words were far more than what they seemed on the surface.

As for the deeper meaning... I'm probably talking about Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.

Recently, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue have indeed made some unusual moves.

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue may have been preparing for this action for a long time.

Kang Ruicheng and Dongzi knew very well that they were about to face a bloody storm.

This wind and rain...can't really be avoided by running into the house.

Even if they have a safe house, Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue will never allow them to stay in the safe house peacefully.

There was bound to be a head-to-head confrontation between them and Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue.

How will Kangruicheng deal with it?

While Dongzi was deep in thought, Kang Ruicheng suddenly stood up and ducked back under the eaves within a few steps.

Dongzi hurriedly followed.

The next second, the rain suddenly became heavier. Dense raindrops fell on the roof, beating the bricks and tiles of the old house, crackling notes, compact and lively.

Kang Ruicheng squinted his eyes, looked at the pouring rain, and then looked at his clothes——

The raindrops just hit him unceremoniously, and all his clothes were wet and dry. Fortunately, he didn't look embarrassed.

Dongzi said: "Brother Cheng, do you want to change your clothes? In this weather, you can easily catch a cold if you get wet."

Kang Ruicheng patted his clothes gently and said in a light and cool voice: "This little rain won't be a problem."

"..." Dongzi paused for a long time before asking, "Brother Cheng, is it really okay?"

Their words don't mean what they say on the surface.

Kang Ruicheng was trying to reassure Dongzi. No matter what Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue did next, they would not be able to shake his foundation and have a great impact on him.

However, Dongzi knew very well that people like Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue could not fight an unprepared battle.

Now that they have taken action, they are aiming to completely overthrow Kangrui City.

He was worried that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue would hit him in one blow, so he asked Kang Ruicheng - is it really okay?

The corners of Kang Ruicheng's lips curved into a cold arc, and he said: "Dongzi, you are the person who knows me best. Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue can underestimate me, but you - shouldn't."

This time Dongzi reacted quickly enough and immediately understood what Kang Ruicheng meant.

Indeed, based on his relationship with Kang Ruicheng and his understanding of Kang Ruicheng, he really should not doubt Kang Ruicheng.

Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue have certain strength, but the foundation of the Kang family cannot be easily shaken by them.

Dongzi lowered his head: "Brother Cheng, I understand."

"Well." Kang Ruicheng asked calmly, "Do you have any news about the things I asked you to inquire about?"

Speaking of this, Dongzi looked ashamed, lowered his head and said, "No. Brother Cheng, I'm sorry."

Kang Ruicheng waved his hand, indicating to Dongzi that there was no need to apologize: "It was expected."

During this time, he asked Dongzi to inquire about Xu Youning from time to time.

However, Dongzi never heard any news about Xu Youning.

It's not that Dongzi lacks ability, but that Mu Sijue's information blockade is too tight.

It was impossible for Dongzi to break through Mu Sijue's blockade on his own.

Therefore, it is normal for him to return empty-handed.

Kang Ruicheng had even expected this result.

He just didn't give up, so he asked Dongzi again and again to investigate.

If Dongzi didn't bring back any news, he really couldn't blame Dongzi.

However, the more considerate Kang Ruicheng was, the more ashamed Dongzi felt and the greater the pressure in his heart. He even put pressure on himself——

"Brother Cheng!" Dongzi vowed, "I will definitely find a way to find out the news about Xu Youning within three days!"

Kang Ruicheng raised his hand and stopped him: "No need."

Dongzi was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Why?"

After Xu Youning was rescued by Mu Sijue, Kang Ruicheng asked him to inquire about Xu Youning when he had something to do.

He had always understood that Kang Ruicheng wanted to know about Xu Youning's recovery.

In order to satisfy Kang Ruicheng, he wanted to force himself to find out the news about Xu Youning within three days.

Why did Kang Ruicheng reject him instead?

Compared to Dongzi's depression and confusion, Kang Ruicheng looked much more relaxed.

Dongzi didn't push him and waited for Kang Ruicheng to explain.

After a while, Kang Ruicheng said coldly, word by word: "It won't take long, and we can get news about Xu Youning without asking."

Dongzi quickly understood what Kang Ruicheng meant——

As long as Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue disappear from City A, they can bring Xu Youning back.

By that time, do they still need to inquire about Xu Youning?

At that time, even Xu Youning belonged to them!

Dongzi sneered and said confidently: "Brother Cheng, we don't have to wait long. Aren't Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue eager to come and give away their heads?"

Kang Ruicheng tilted his head slightly, without looking at Dongzi, but there was an order in his voice that no one dared to ignore: "Don't take it lightly."

"Of course." Dongzi nodded, "I know that Lu Boyan and Mu Sijue cannot be underestimated and will not underestimate their enemies."

Kang Ruicheng said "hmm" and waved his hand to Dongzi to go about his business.

Dongzi nodded and left quietly.

Before going out, Dongzi suddenly stopped and looked back at Kang Ruicheng.

The longer Xu Youning left, the more he realized that he seemed to be unable to understand Kang Ruicheng.

That strange feeling of distance was like a nightmare to him.

All because of Xu Youning.

No matter what, he must get Xu Youning back from Mu Sijue.

As long as Xu Youning comes back, even if she is in a vegetative state, she will at least be back with Kang Ruicheng.

Everything will return to how it was before.

Thinking of this, Dongzi became more determined and stepped out.

In the yard, Kang Ruicheng was still standing under the eaves, watching the heavy rain pouring down from the sky, the smile on his lips getting weaker and colder.
