Rong Shang was still standing in the courtyard when she heard a sound behind her and thought it was Mu Chen.

As soon as I turned around, there was a loud bang.

The person in front of her raised the stone in his hand and smashed it down hard on her head.

For the first time, completely unprepared, she fainted.

When I woke up, I was in a dilapidated little house.

When Rong Shang opened her eyes, she seemed to realize something, and her gaze suddenly turned cold.

"come out!"

A cold, sharp voice rang out. Rong Shang struggled to break free, only to find herself sitting on a wooden chair with her hands and feet bound.

My head was throbbing terribly, and bright red blood was streaming down my face from my forehead.

Displeased, Rong Chang narrowed her eyes.

A short while later, the wooden door creaked open.

A faint beam of light shone through the crack in the door, illuminating the woman's bloodied forehead, where the wound was slowly healing.

She was still sitting on the wooden chair, but this time her gaze toward the door was sharp and sinister.

Wait, one second, two seconds, three seconds...

Finally, the black shadow fell to the ground, gradually lengthening and drawing closer as the middle-aged man walked in.

Rong Shang gave a cold "heh".

"You were actually pretending to be a cripple."

For a whole month, this person remained in a wheelchair, confusing them.

"My dear daughter-in-law, I'm so sorry to have invited you here in the middle of the night."

Some lewd voices came from ahead. Rong Shang stared at the smile on the other person's lips, her expression indifferent.

She truly hadn't expected that the man standing and walking before her was actually Master Mu, who had injured his leg after the cruise ship explosion.

However, she is not entirely clear about the ins and outs of this matter yet.

For example, why did Master Mu lie to people?

Why did you bring her here?

Could it be...? Rong Shang raised an eyebrow at the other person.

Could it be that this Master Mu is a lecher?

I searched my memory for anything about him, but it didn't seem like it. This Master Mu was a well-known gentleman in Jiangcheng.

still……

"What do you want to do?" she asked him directly, saying whatever came to mind so there would be no need for guessing.

But the other person slowly took out a lighter from his pocket, held a cigarette in his hand, and put it to his mouth.

Click, it's lit.

Soon after, wisps of smoke rose, blurring his vision.

"Don't rush, the night is still long, why be in such a hurry?"

"Ha, aren't you afraid that things might get complicated and your son will find out?"

"Son?" Old Master Mu was taken aback.

Then he suddenly realized something and burst into laughter.

"Son, yes, I have a son."

"..." Frowning, Rong Shang looked at the other person's abnormal behavior and thought to herself, "Could this old guy have gone mad?"

Like Mu Lian, is she unable to accept Madam Mu's departure?

Regardless of what she was thinking, Mr. Mu remained calm and composed, slowly finishing his cigarette.

Finally, he threw the cigarette butt under his feet, stepped on it, and crushed it hard.

When the man looked up at Rong Shang again, he wiped the corner of his mouth, his voice changed, "Shen Qinghuan, you don't recognize me just because I've changed my appearance?"

"Tsk." The man chuckled softly. "You're really heartbroken."

"I thought you would be a little smarter than others."

Oh, but thinking about it, that makes sense.

Both she and the man thought he was dead.

Upon hearing his words, Rong Shang's pupils contracted and her brows furrowed. "It was you?"

He's actually... still alive?

So, both she and Mu Chen were deceived.
