Chapter 339: Chapter 313: Who did you say it is? (Monthly votes 1300+ update)

On the way back, Yu Minglang didn’t say a word.

Xiao Qian accompanied him, slowly walking along the road towards their home. “Xiao Qiang, deep down, you don’t actually hate him, do you?” Xiao Qian asked. “Hmm.”

If Yu Minglang truly hated Zeng Rong, he wouldn’t have asked all his friends to come and see him off.

“His methods were not good, but his intentions were. He has experienced the pain of losing a friend, so he didn’t want these close brothers to lose me as well. Although his methods were stupid, I have the duty and the confidence to show him what kind of woman I have chosen and to let him leave in peace. It’s my responsibility too.”

Even though Rong Yuan had left, in Yu Minglang’s heart, he was still his friend. This was a responsibility, a mission.

Xiao Qian was not surprised by Ming Lang’s words.

“So, you brought me to show him, to tell him that you have chosen a smart woman?”

In terms of tactics, Ming Lang’s move was indeed quite brilliant. He believed in his own judgment, and even more so in the expertise of his woman.

Managing to make a tenacious man cry loudly, Yu Minglang was genuinely curious.

Throughout all the ups and downs they had experienced, Minglang had never seen Rong Yuan cry.

But Xiao Qian managed to do it.

Rong Yuan never cried during his time as a lone wolf. In fact, sometimes, being able to cry was better than bottling it up inside, but many people spent their entire lives competing with themselves. Before meeting Xiao Qian, Rong Yuan had always been competing with himself.

“Smart woman, can you tell me what you said to him that made him cry like that? I’ve tortured him for so long, and he hasn’t shed a single tear.”

“I won’t tell you, it’s a secret.”

A secret between a bad woman, and a man determined to avenge his deceased brother.

“Don’t be so mysterious – Xiao Mei, you tell me.”

With an itchy heart, Ming Lang begged and pleaded, ultimately threatening Xiao Qian that if she didn’t confess, he would kiss her on the street.

In the end, Xiao Qian couldn’t withstand his thick-skinned persistence.

“When Lone Wolf is lying here, apart from his friends and family, who will remember him? Who should not forget him?”

“You mean… you and Rong Yuan reached an agreement that you have to deal with Lone Wolf’s ex-fiancee?!”

Xiao Qian blinked, “Why are you so blunt? I’m a woman of high position, taste, and social status, I can’t break the law.”

She meant that she would definitely not do anything illegal.

Ming Lang reached out his finger towards Xiao Qian, then decided to stroke her hair instead.

Hmm, keep up being the woman of high position, taste, and social status. Your awareness is great.”

In other words, just do your thing.

Who didn’t have fire in their hearts about the events of the past?

Yu Minglang didn’t believe that Lone Wolf had died accidentally because he was distracted. He believed that Lone Wolf was just like himself – both of them top­notch men who knew what to do at the right time and wouldn’t let their emotions kill them.

But his death was so miserable, and with his last breath, he still called out the woman’s name. Yet, she treated a man who had given his life for her with unimaginable cruelty.

Moving away, taking the money and leaving – not even bothering to bring a single flower to his funeral.

The dead cannot see this, but the living are deeply affected.

Everyone’s hearts were chilled back then.

They couldn’t imagine that if one day, the person lying underground were them, would their loved ones take their money and leave without even giving them a moment’s worth of incense, just like the woman did to Lone Wolf?

That would genuinely be the saddest thing in the world. What was the point of

it all, was a hero not even entitled to a single thought?

Hey, Yu Xiaoqiang, don’t you feel like scolding me a few times?” Xiao Qian felt that Ming Lang was becoming more and more like her.

As the two spent more and more time together, their values inevitably influenced each other.

Xiao Qian would change for Ming Lang, and Ming Lang would learn to adapt for her.

Ming Lang also harbored a fire in his heart over this matter, but he just didn’t want to take action against a woman. That woman owed a tear to the fallen warrior-hero.

When even the loss of their pet cats and dogs could cause sadness, much less when a person was involved! A man willing to leave his compensation to her, not asking her to remain chaste and not marry another, but was it too much to ask for her to come and visit his grave?

And yet, she heartlessly took the money and married someone else right away. Since his Qian Bao was willing to do it, Ming Lang would not play the saint and try to convince her otherwise, as this was an agreement between Qian Bao and Rong Yuan.

You’re happy and that’s all that matters. Just mind the limit, anything else goes – although I am curious, why… would he tell you all this?”

Xiao Qian smiled faintly, pushing her glasses with her hand.

“Because the world is vast yet small. You would think that some people far away are, in fact, connected by a thousand threads.”

“Speak plainly!”

“Plainly, it means – your good friend Lone Wolf’s mother was my teacher, your cold-looking but kind-hearted uncle is someone my mentor would curse at. I think I should do something for my teacher, understood?”

Ming Lang’s eyes widened.

It was only after Xiao Qian’s rebirth that she discovered that although the two of them had missed each other in their past life, the intricate connections between them had not been severed.

There had always been people around her who were connected to him, they were just a hair’s breadth away from meeting, but strangely, they never did despite his search for her, and her fame within the industry in their past life.

In this life, they technically shouldn’t have had any interaction, yet they kept running into each other by chance, and now they were even together.

Fate really was a mischievous child.

“Xiao Qiang, do you know that the news of me being kidnapped and it being leaked, it wasn’t Rong Yuan who did it?”

“Hmm.”

“So, who do you think it was?”

II II

Ming Lang s silence told Xiao Qian that her guess was correct.

Her astute Xiao Qiang had already figured out there was someone else involved

in the case after discovering the clue about Rong Yuan.

However, when Ming Lang heard Xiao Qian proactively asking about the matter, he asked her back.

“You thought of it too?”

“It’s not hard to guess. If it wasn’t Rong Yuan who leaked the information, who else would know about it? By reasoning backwards, it’s not difficult to arrive at a conclusion. Who else participated in the rescue operation and whom else in your family is there that I’ve offended?”

Up until now, it seemed like she and Ming Lang had just offended one person.

“It’s not someone you offended. I’ll deal with it myself.” Ming Lang initially didn’t want to tell Xiao Qian about it, as he didn’t want to trouble her with such a trivial matter.

However, Xiao Mei was a very clever girl – after talking to Zeng Rong only once, she knew that two different people were responsible for these two incidents.

“You handle your own matters.”

The Chinese language is vast and profound; “you handle it” versus “you handle your own matters” – these two phrases have completely different meanings.
