She then glanced at Ling Moyuan, bit her lower lip, and said, "Moyuan, I know you're angry because I took a risk. But I really did consider my own safety. I know you secretly sent people to protect me. That's why I dared to do this. I promised you that I would always protect myself first, and I've always remembered that."

Ling Moyuan threw the ice pack into the trash can and then looked at Mo Jing: "You knew that Shen Xiangming had mental problems, yet you still provoked him. Do you know that if something were to happen, he could kill you and not be held legally responsible?"

“I won’t let that happen, besides, you’ve been secretly supporting me!” Mo Jing shifted slightly, tugged at Ling Moyuan’s sleeve, and blinked, saying, “That guard didn’t show up when I was kidnapped, I think you must have authorized him. Did you already know my plan?”

There were many things Mo Jing hadn't considered at first. Since Ling Moyuan had sent people to protect her secretly, why didn't those people appear when she was kidnapped?

There was only one reason: he received orders.

“I know that Shen Xiangming is like a curse to you, which is why I didn’t stop you when I discovered your plan. But I really don’t want there to be a next time you use yourself as bait.” Ling Moyuan said with a serious expression, his angular face taut.

Mo Jing stole a kiss on Ling Moyuan's lips, then smiled and said, "I promise, it will never happen again! From now on, my life is in your hands, Commander." She grinned after saying that. Perhaps because of the previous little awkwardness, Mo Jing was actually closer to Ling Moyuan, and even the usually serious Mo Jing started joking.

But Mo Jing's smile quickly faded as she felt a slightly cold, large hand reaching up from her lower back.

"Um, Mo Yuan..." Mo Jing wanted to say something.

Ling Moyuan immediately silenced her with his lips, then gently said, "Shh, I'm hungry."

When a man tells the woman he loves that he's hungry, it usually means one of two things: either he's genuinely hungry, or...

Although Shen Xiangming was found guilty, he was also diagnosed with mental illness. Mentally ill people are not guilty of murder, but Shen Xiangming was still forcibly admitted to a mental hospital.

She was already disfigured and missing an arm, and was in a mental hospital, so Mo Jing didn't need to worry about her anymore.

The reason Mo Jing threw that bottle of concentrated sulfuric acid at him was precisely because she knew Shen Xiangming had a mental illness. Otherwise, with so many bottles of chemicals on the table, how could she have so conveniently gotten her hands on that corrosive one?

It's not illegal for a mentally ill person to commit murder, and besides, with Feng Tianxiang's abilities, he might have a way to get him out of the mental hospital.

But now that Shen Xiangming has become like this, no matter where he is, he will suffer a fate worse than death, and his life is ruined.

This was perhaps his own doing. When he prepared those corrosive chemicals in the basement, Shen Xiangming intended to use them to kill and dispose of corpses, but he never expected that one day they would be used on himself.
