The Kang family’s old house.

The Lu family gave up bidding, and the Su family group finally bought the land at a high price of 27.9 billion, which was immediately reported back to Kang Ruicheng.

"Bang--"

Kang Ruicheng angrily threw an antique vase, and the sharp ceramic fragments scattered all over the floor. The two subordinates who rushed back stood aside in cold sweat, not daring to say a word.

"I ask you to pay attention to her movements. After the auction begins, has she contacted Lu Boyan's people?" Kang Ruicheng looked angry, and murderous intent was revealed between the words.

The two subordinates stammered for a long time, and one of them finally found his voice: "Brother Cheng, I was responsible for monitoring Miss Xu's communication at that time, and Ali was responsible for observing it, but the result was... we didn't find any abnormalities in Miss Xu."

Kang Ruicheng's eyes were full of evil light: "No?"

Ali shook his head with a stinging bullet and said, "It's really not. During the entire auction, Miss Xu was just paying attention to bidding and did not move her phone at all, so she couldn't contact Lu Boyan's people. If she had to say there was, she would only say a few words to Shen Yuechuan after the auction ended."

Kang Ruicheng stared at Ali, as if he was trying to dig two holes on him with his eyes: "What did Xu Youning and Shen Yuechuan say?"

"Shen Yuechuan asked something, but I couldn't hear it clearly, but I paid attention to Miss Xu's answer. She said she didn't regret her choice, and Su Jianan and Lu Boyan would not have any impact on her. Oh, and also, she said she admitted that she had a purpose in getting close to Mu Sijue and others."

Kang Ruicheng's expression slowly returned to calm: "Okay, you guys go out."

After the two men left, Kang Ruicheng was the only one left in the living room. He sat on the sofa with his eyes thinking.

Maybe, he can trust Xu Youning.

That's right, he had never fully trusted Xu Youning before.

Xu Youning was forged by him. No one knew her temper, personality, and style better than him. When Xu Youning was still undercover next to Mu Sijue, her tone became hesitant and even failed repeatedly. He knew that Xu Youning was about to break out of his control.

At that time, he had only one idea: either find a way to make Xu Youning come back willingly, or kill her.

In the end, Kang Ruicheng chose the former, using the method of killing Grandma Xu and then placing blame on Mu Sijue, making Xu Youning regard Mu Sijue as an irreconcilable enemy, and then show kindness to Xu Youning and seduce her back.

But the Xu Youning who returned to him was different from before. Although it could be explained by the fact that Grandma Xu's death had a great impact on her, he did not intend to believe Xu Youning completely.

After all, he knew best how smart Xu Youning was.

Before the auction, the reason why he revealed the "highest price" to Xu Youning and sent Xu Youning to further confirm Xu Youning's identity.

He wanted to see if Xu Youning could really make up his mind to deal with Lu Boyan, and if he really wouldn't reveal any news to Lu Boyan.

Now it seems that he has made the right bet.

Thinking of this, the anger in Kang Ruicheng's eyes was gradually replaced by false calm. He looked at the time and guessed that Xu Youning should come back to find him.

As expected, as soon as he put down his hand, a burst of rapid footsteps came from afar. After a while, Xu Youning came back hurriedly.

"What's going on?" Xu Youning frowned, "Didn't you say that the highest price of Lu's family is 28 billion? Why didn't Chen Yuechuan bid again after he paid 27 billion?"

Kang Ruicheng got up, stretched out his hand to wrap around Xu Youning's waist, and looked at her with a smile.

This is not the first time. Logically speaking, Xu Youning should have been used to Kang Ruicheng's intimate contact, but after working hard, Xu Youning found that she still overestimated herself.

No matter how long it has been, her rejection of Kang Ruicheng has spread from psychological to physiological, and she will never get used to it.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Youning used his displeasure to hide his discomfort, "Why can you still laugh?"

"Why don't you laugh? Something happened that made me very happy." As he said that, the curve of the corner of Kang Ruicheng's lips became more and more obvious.

"..." Xu Youning turned his head and looked at the expression "I'm not happy, so I'm not interested in what makes you happy."

In fact, she could guess why Kang Ruicheng was happy.

"Okay." Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning's face and gently forced Xu Youning to face him, "It's not your fault for this. Maybe the news I got was wrong. The highest price of Lu's family is not 28 billion, but 27 billion."

Xu Youning's expression sank a little again: "Is the news you received uncertain?"

"It's not that I'm not sure about it, but that I can't make sure." Kang Ruicheng's hand slid down Xu Youning's arm, and finally wrapped around Xu Youning's hands. "But, another thing, I'm very sure now."

Xu Youning pretended not to understand: "What's the matter?"

Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning, his eyes getting deeper and deeper: "Anning, I'm very happy that you're really back." As he said that, he lowered his head and printed his lips towards Xu Youning's lips-

Seeing Kang Ruicheng's kiss coming down, Xu Youning pushed him away in time, looking shocked: "What did you mean just now? What did I finally come back? Didn't I come back long ago?" She broke away from Kang Ruicheng's hand excitedly.

"Aning..." Kang Ruicheng tried to hold Xu Youning back, but Xu Youning's reaction was faster than him, so he avoided it first.

"So you never believed me." Xu Youning smiled mockingly, "This time, you deliberately told me that you would raise the price without limit, right? You think I will reveal the news to Lu Boyan, so that Lu Boyan will keep raising the price, and finally you ask me to stop yelling the price. In this way, you can not only determine who I am, but also make Lu lose a huge loss! You not only don't believe me, but also want to use me!"

"Aning, I..." Kang Ruicheng wanted to explain, but he was unable to find that he could not explain at all.

Xu Youning didn't plan to listen to Kang Ruicheng's explanation. The temperature in her eyes dropped little by little, and in the end, even her anger gradually subsided.

Xu Youning said nothing and turned around and left the Kang family's old house.

"Miss Xu," Ali saw Xu Youning come out and greeted her, "Where are you going? I'll send you there?"

Xu Youning's voice was so cold that the ice skate could fly out: "Get out!"

Ali was stunned, and his steps seemed to be frozen by something. He stood there and did not dare to move. He could only watch Xu Youning drive away.

Then, Kang Ruicheng walked out of the old house.

Ali was confused: "Brother Cheng, Miss Xu is gone."

Kang Ruicheng threw Ali a tablet computer: "Her car has a tracker, and the terminal for tracking information is in this computer. You follow her from afar, don't let her do anything."

"I understand." Ali turned on the computer, and a nearby three-dimensional map was displayed on the screen. A red dot kept flashing on the screen, moving at a rapid speed.

Ali quickly got into the car and started the car and chased Xu Youning.

According to Xu Youning's desperate car speed, if he is slower, he may be thrown out dozens of kilometers.

The car was galloping on the road for more than half an hour, and finally, Ali followed Xu Youning to the riverside outside a villa area.

This river is a famous landscape river in A City. It is well-maintained around it. It is evening and there are many people walking and running by the river.

Xu Youning walked to the riverside, lying half of her body on the fence, and then stopped moving. Ali couldn't see the expression on her face, nor did she know what she was thinking.

In fact, Xu Youning didn't know what he was thinking.

She only knew that the villa area not far ahead was where she and Mu Sijue had lived.

She was willing to come to City A, probably because besides City G, this city is the place where Mu Sijue was most involved.

But, even if her and Mu Sijue's steps coincide, what can we do? At this point, she can no longer look back. Even if she can turn back, she may be taken away by the god of death at any time.

She never thought she would face the threat of illness so early, but when something in her body really endangered her life, she was calmer than she expected, and even realized that the most important thing now is not love and love, but helping Lu Boyan solve Kang Ruicheng and avenge her grandmother.

Only when Kang Ruicheng is solved can Mu Sijue be carefree, and when she goes to another world, she will have the face to face her grandmother.

Thinking of this, Xu Youning's eyes turned to the villa area not far away, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

If she died, Mu Sijue wouldn't be sad. Maybe he would have to take another second or two to remember who she is.

And now, Mu Sijue may have changed into a new woman long ago, and he may only hate her.

Thinking of this, the faint smile on the corner of Xu Youning's lips also disappeared. She was like a very tired old man, leaning against the fence by the river, her empty eyes staying on the calm river surface, as if she was completely emptying herself, and as if she was thinking about something important.

After a while, night fell from the sky and the entire earth fell into darkness.

The old man walking and the young man running, went home one by one, and only Xu Youning still maintained that position and lay on the riverside, with no sign of leaving.

When Kang Ruicheng drove over, he saw Xu Youning from afar. If it weren't for being too familiar with Xu Youning, he would almost think that she was a statue standing by the river.

He walked behind Xu Youning: "I'm still angry?"

Xu Youning was not surprised that Kang Ruicheng would come and glanced at him indifferently: "I just can't understand why people who shouldn't believe me trust me completely, while people who shouldn't believe me have always been doubting me."

Kang Ruicheng said: "I apologize to you."

Xu Youning smiled, with a little coldness in his smile: "You said that people like us never accept apology."

Kang Ruicheng showed a rare helpless expression: "Okay, you said, what do you want me?"

"Since I want to think about it, then wait for me to think about it." Xu Youning held his chin and pondered for a long time, "Let's do this, in the future, when I strongly make a request, you can only agree to me!"

"No problem." Kang Ruicheng smiled and pointed, "But, what would you strongly ask for?" There was more or less ambiguity in his tone.

Xu Youning wouldn't be able to resist such a small problem, and laughed twice: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it must not be what you thought!"

After saying that, he left the river and walked towards the parking area. Kang Ruicheng looked at her back and smiled at the corner of his lips.

If Xu Youning looked back, he would find that this was the most real smile on Kang Ruicheng's face over the years - no malice, no deep meaning.
