one hundred eighty nine

slowly brushed away the black hair that lay on her cheek, gazing intently. Her breath was even, each inhale and exhale filled with a faint scent of innocence. He extended his index finger, delicatel...Having thought this through in his mind, Rong Qi unexpectedly changed his thoughts. He even began to hope that Rong Ling would do something to his son. If Rong Ling were to also cause some physical harm to his son, when the old master became furious, he could then turn around and bite back at Rong Ling!

He waited for him to rush over, and when he saw four identical bodyguards standing at the door of the ward, he was immediately stunned!

That trace of smugness vanished in an instant!

These four people, he knows them!

A man of status like Rong Sanbo would naturally be accompanied by bodyguards when he went out, and these four were members of his large bodyguard team.

Why is Rong Sanbo here! A man of his stature wouldn't come for such a trivial matter! Did Rong Ling invite him Or is Rong Sanbo making a statement, intending to acknowledge Lin Meng and her child, or perhaps like supporting Rong Ling, he plans to support Lin Chengyou, vying for the position of head with his own son!

Thinking of this, Rong Qi's anger flared. Besides anger, he was also a little flustered!

No, all that he had struggled for his entire life, how could it be taken from him again and again He thought about it over and over, a sneer crept into his heart. He pushed open the door and roared!

You're being unreasonable! This isn't about seeking justice for your son, is it Fine, let him back down, let you Rong Ling feel a little satisfaction. Beat his son up, and then when the child is brought before grandpa, we'll call this even. From now on, no one will owe anyone anything!

Rong Sanbo is also old and will soon retire! Once he retires, his status will be about the same as the grandfather at home. At that time, what they say will carry the same weight. It won't be a sure thing who of these two children will be more valued in the future!

Rong Qi had newfound confidence, and walked in with arrogance.

He was tall and had a sharp jawline, resembling Rong Ling by three points. One couldn't help but say how excellent the Rong family genes were. He was thirty-seven this year, and naturally looked more mature. The charm of a middle-aged man goes without saying. Because he had always received elite education, his life had been quite comfortable, so he naturally looked richer than Rong Ling, even whiter in complexion. But those eyes were deep and profound, letting people know that this kind of person was never to be trifled with.

"Just waiting for you!" Rong Ling was clearly not taking Rong Qikeng seriously. Now he was the master of the Rong family, and with that kind of capital, he didn't take anyone seriously.

Rong Hengduo saw his father coming and a trace of joy appeared on his face. Then he suddenly stood up from the sofa and leaned towards his father. Rong Hengduo stretched out his big hand, placed it on Rong Hengduo's small shoulder, and squeezed it hard, as a silent comfort.

"This child is lying here now, you saw it!" Rong Ling didn't get up, still holding the little one in his arms, not moving much. He sat there, his arms holding a white and tender young child, looking much more affectionate, seemingly harmless. But things weren't like that. Even with a child in his arms that could soften anyone's heart, the sharpness and majesty emanating from him still made it impossible to ignore! He coldly looked at Rong Qikeng, who, as usual, tensed up!

These two people are brothers, but they are also rivals. Different life experiences have destined them to stand on opposite sides until death!

“As for what happened, I think you’re already aware. The reason I’m here is to discuss how we can resolve this!”

If Rong Qikeng doesn't acknowledge that he already knows the gist of what happened, then he is slapping himself in the face. This is practically common knowledge among the elite circles in B City. For him to claim ignorance only further demonstrates his incompetence, and no wonder he couldn't keep his position at home.

Rong Qikeng's face darkened, his eyes narrowed. "I did hear some rumors, but they are probably far from the truth!"

With a slight head tilt, he immediately turned his gaze to Rong Sanbo. After greeting him, he said: "Since Sanbo is here today, it's truly wonderful. With his presence, things will naturally be handled fairly and impartially. Whatever the matter requires, that's how it should be done, no one can be biased. Ultimately, the decision on how to proceed rests with Sanbo!"

Rōng Líng sneered, curled her lips, and without a word, told him what had happened.

Rong Qikeng spoke up. “Duo Duo might be impetuous, but he's family. Even if he made a mistake, we should stand up for our own. This is the family spirit that has been passed down through generations in our Rong family. So, I don't think Duo Duo did anything wrong. As for that Zhang doctor, he has nothing to do with us. He himself is not skilled in medicine, but he was dragged into this by someone with ulterior motives. I won't stand for it. Where is that Zhang doctor now Have him come out, or hand him directly to the clan so they can investigate and clear Duo Duo's name!”

Fung Choi-king isn't stupid. When he said "someone with a heart," he was intentionally or unintentionally implying that this was the fault of Rong Ling, and hinting that Rong replied: "This is a frame-up."

Rong Ling would not stand idly by and immediately replied, "Giving it to the clan members is certainly possible, but Big Brother, are you sure that's what you want to do!"

After finishing his words, a cold and sinister smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, mocking Rong Qikeng sarcastically. "If this matter reaches me, it's just between you and me, brothers. After all, as brothers, I can also give my elder brother some face. But if it really gets reported to the clan, then when the truth comes out, your elder brother won't be able to get away with it so easily!"

Rong Qikeng, upon hearing this, was naturally flustered inside. However, very quickly, he calmed down. He had already confirmed that the Mu family sent someone to contact Dr. Zhang was a highly secretive operation, even if they offered a huge sum of money, it was in cash, and Ran couldn't find too many clues. Even if Dr. Zhang confessed everything, saying that he was instructed by the Mu family, but the Mu family denied it, what could Dr. Zhang do! He could turn the tables, Rong Qikeng wasn't incapable of doing so! At that time, it would be completely possible to frame this matter entirely as Rong Ling's manipulation, and then deliberately frame him, Rong Qikeng!

Right now, he can't have the slightest bit of stage fright, otherwise, if he fell into Rong Sanbo's eyes, it would only be a loss of face for his entire family!

"Having a clear conscience, and what is the so-called fear!" Rong Qiang suddenly raised his voice. "Just hand over that Dr. Zhang, I also want to see who is hiding behind Dr. Zhang!"

Rong Ling had already expected Rong Qikeng to be a tough opponent. He didn't want to say too much about this matter with Doctor Zhang. After all, Doctor Zhang hadn't officially started the surgery yet and hadn't caused any real harm to Xiao Youyou. If he were labeled as "misdiagnosis," it would also be possible. Rong Ling just wanted outsiders to know about this, knowing that Rong Qikeng was suspected, and then give them room for imagination, which was much better than clinging to this matter!

After so many years, it's impossible that Rong Qikeng wouldn't have a network of connections. What will happen to this person after being brought into the clan remains to be seen. Furthermore, the Rong family has always been a close-knit one, and any underhanded dealings naturally stay within the family. Once they leave their doorstep, all they can do is put on a show of harmony. Whether Dr. Zhang turns him in or not is no longer that significant!

This child was beaten by your family Rong Heng Duo until his spleen ruptured, what do you think about this!

Rong Qi grinned, a cold smile playing on his lips. He had been waiting for this! So, he feigned hesitation and difficulty, remained silent for a while, before adopting a protective and stubborn attitude.

"What do you want!" This slightly sharp tone was intentionally meant to provoke Rong Ling! The angrier Rong Ling became, the more irrational he acted, and the more inclined he was to resort to violence against Rong Hengduo. This was exactly what Rong Qikeng wanted!

"Rong Ling's face darkened, and she did not hide her anger. “To bully the weak with your strength, this kind of behavior is simply despicable. Rong Hengduo still learned martial arts, but he doesn't even care about the most basic martial arts spirit. If this gets out, it would be a laughingstock, and it would insult the Rong surname! Rong Hengduo—"

Rong Ling suddenly raised her voice, directly naming and shaming him: "I'm asking you, did you hit Youyou Do you feel proud about it!"

Rong Hengdu's teeth gritted together, but he couldn't nod.

One is seven years old, the other four. There was no suspense in this fight at all! What's there to be proud of!

"Kong immediately spoke up. 'Someone beat up my brother at home. As an older brother, it's natural to step in and protect him. A brother who doesn't stand up for his family in a time of need isn't really a brother at all! If DuoDuo stays silent, people will laugh at him!"

"Oh!" Rong Ling smiled sarcastically. "Younger brother starts a fight and can't win, so older brother steps in to beat them back Then I could do the same, find some martial artist later and have them beat up your Dodo!"

Rong Qingen snorted and sneered. "That's a bit far-fetched, isn't it It's just children fighting. What does an adult have to do with it! Besides, Rong Ling, DuoDuo is your nephew. You two are both members of the Rong family. You should protect your nephew instead of trying to get justice for this child on the bed. That seems rather biased!"

Come on, think evil thoughts in your heart. If you have the guts, Rong Ling, expose the truth about this child! The child's mother is now Mrs. Ruan. Don't you fear that people will laugh at the child Just go ahead and reveal the child's true parentage! Then, see how people whisper behind your back, and see how those young masters of the Ruan family will deal with you!

"I'm looking out for my own!," Rong Ling easily sidestepped the linguistic trap Rong Qikeng had set for him. He raised his finger slightly and pointed at Lin Meng. "When this child enrolled, I promised her mother that I would take care of her. If anything happened, I would be fully responsible. So, in my eyes now, there's no difference between uncle and nephew, only two children who got into a fight!"

Lin Mengxin's heart skipped a beat, she was moved. She didn't expect that Rong Ling would actually be able to do what he said back then.

Rong Qingen was unhappy. He resented Rong Ling's arrogant attitude and didn't want to be treated this way in front of others anymore. He didn't hide his displeasure and coldly said, "Just tell me what you want!"

"Good!" Rong Ling replied loudly, his gaze instantly becoming sharp and intense. "I'll say this today, and I also ask Uncle Third to bear witness to it!"

Saying that, he looked at Rong Sanbo. Rong Sanbo nodded slightly.

Rong Ling continued in a low voice, "This matter today is a one-time occurrence, and there will be no further precedents. If there's another incident involving beating Youyou, I don't care who it is, I will bring people to beat them back. I want to see who dares to oppose me in the future!"

At that moment, Rong Ling was like the emperor ruling the world, exuding domineering power. He was arrogant and could do whatever he wanted, yet inexplicably, one couldn't help but feel powerless against him. Rong Qinkeng knew that Rong Ling's words were primarily directed at him, another form of pressure and a warning!

He quietly clenched his fists, and Rong Zhi could only act like a grandson, swallowing this humiliation of being trampled upon in silence. His heart was filled with resentment towards Rong Ling. The old fox was cunning; for the sake of the greater good, he endured silently even though his son had gotten into trouble, not afraid of being called a coward!

"It's alright, then I'll go first!" Rong Qikeng pretended to take his son's hand.

"Slow down!" Rong Ling roared, the little one in his arms jumped up in alarm, clutching onto Rong Ling's arm with small hands and glaring fiercely at Rong Hengtuo who was about to leave.

“What I just said was about the future, but what’s going on between Rong Hengduo and Youyou isn't over yet!”

"What do you want to do!" Rong Qi's anger flared, and he deliberately led Rong Ling astray with a sharp tone. "Do you still want our dear Dodo to be beaten up until his spleen is ruptured!"

Rong Ling shook her head!

"Then what do you want!" Rong Qikeng tightened his jaw. "Rong Ling, stop beating around the bush and just say it! Don't tell me you only want Duoduo to apologize to this child!"

Rong Qi's expression was a smirk, neither laughing nor crying, with a mocking look on his face. He deliberately provoked Ling!

Rong Ling had already made up his mind and wouldn't be so easily provoked into losing his composure!

"No need to apologize!"

His voice was very cold, cold to the point of being icy!

Rong Qikeng burst into laughter and said bluntly, "Rong Ling, I didn't expect you to have become such a coward!"

A cold glint flashed in Rong Ling's eyes, his handsome face tightened, the sharp lines of his features seeming as if a drawn sword.

"Let the children solve their own problems. I will supervise, but won't intervene. Rong Hengduo --"

Rong Ling stared at him sternly. Rong Hengduo instinctively stiffened his body, masking the fear in his heart, and stubbornly met Rong Ling's gaze.

"You owe Youyou one! When the time is right, Youyou will challenge you just like you challenged her. Then, win or lose, this fight of yours today will be considered a real showdown!"

Rong Hengduo's body shook, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Rong Ling then lowered his head to look at You You, and said in a deep voice, "Lin Chengyou --"

He named the little boy for the first time!

The little boy immediately tightened his face and finally spoke up, shouting: “Yes!”

"You have to find your own place, today you were beaten by someone, then you have to get me back! Relying on yourself is better than relying on others, did you understand!"

“Understood!” the kid shouted, his missing tooth made his words a bit unclear because of the wind, but he spoke so loudly that everyone could hear him clearly. Saliva flowed out from the gap in his teeth, but he didn’t bother wiping it away with his hand, as if he wasn't even aware of it. Instead, he stared fiercely at Rong Hentuo with the gaze of a wolf cub, enunciating each word slowly and deliberately.

"I don't want your apology! You wait, I will definitely get back at you!"

Saliva dripped from his chin, a sight that should have been comical considering the child's age. Yet, no one dared to laugh. This little boy, despite his youth, stared intensely with unwavering seriousness in his eyes and an air of absolute conviction in his voice. He was no longer just a child; he was a warrior, a tiny soldier who, for his dignity and pride, maintained a fighting spirit worthy of admiration. This burning war fervor would not cease until victory was achieved!

That tiny body, it's hard to imagine that it could have such a powerful presence!

Rong Hengduo tensed his body and nodded with difficulty!

Rong Qikeng's heart was both terrified and enraged. He felt as if he saw a second Rong Ling rising in the air!

A flash of light instantly appeared in Rong Sanbo's eyes!

Rong Qikeng couldn't stay any longer, so he took his son and left directly. Today’s event was a complete humiliation. Rong Ling followed out, politely saying he wanted to see them off. Rong Qikeng snorted angrily and walked ahead. As soon as they left the ward, Rong Ling quickly caught up with Rong Qikeng.

"Big brother, we smart people don't talk nonsense. Today's matter, how the inside story is, you and I both know very well!"

Rong Qi'ang now showed no further pretense. "Whatever you want to do, just come at me! I accept your challenge!"

Lin Chengyou is nothing but an unrecognized illegitimate son. How could he possibly do anything to me! Rong Qikeng scoffed inwardly, simply watching as if it were a joke.

Rong Ling reached out and took a disc from his pocket, passing it over.

"Big brother, don't go too far in everything. Since we are brothers, we should always leave some face for each other. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should also consider my two nephews!"

This is clearly a threat!

Rong Qi Keng suppressed his anger, glanced at the disc, and didn't take it.

"Go back and have a look, there are good things here!" Róng Líng's eyes were cold, but there wasn't the slightest hint of a smile that one would expect when mentioning "good things."

Rong Qingen's heart skipped a beat, followed by a cold snort as he reached out to take it. But the moment his head brushed against the plate, Rong Ling didn't let go. The two of them held onto that single plate, faces grim and sharp like knives, locked in a silent standoff.

“Big brother, you're a smart person, so don't make any foolish mistakes anymore. The child in this house, from now on, his life will be in your hands. You should know that words have power, if there is one, there will be two. If anything happens to the child again, I'll come looking for you, big brother!”

Rong Qi's hands trembled, almost unable to control himself and crushing the disc. Rong Ling simultaneously let go of his hand and turned to leave!

Rong Qikeng's face darkened, clouds of anger gathering in an instant! The fury within him swelled, threatening to explode.

This is a blatant threat!

You dare to insult me!

You're so full of it!

Rong Zhikeng watched the DVD playing on his computer. The person on screen was Dr. Zhang, who had disappeared. The scene depicted what Dr. Zhang had confessed. Hearing Dr. Zhang repeatedly calling out "Mu family" and claiming he was innocent, framed by someone, Rong Zhikeng thought about how almost everyone in the circle now believed he had poisoned Xiao Youyou. Enraged, Rong Zhikeng slammed his hand down, scattering all the documents on the table to the floor!

In the clattering sound, Rongqi felt exhilaration, but in an instant, he also felt pain!

If there is jade, how can there be inferior stones \

This feeling of anger and grief surged up within him once again!

Since he was reborn into the Rong family, why would the old master still create another Rong Ling outside

Everywhere he was suppressed, everywhere he was shorter than him!

Even this time, I was defeated and made the subject of an article by Rong Ling!

Didn't he hear what Rong Ling just said!

Because everyone suspected he had done something to the child, if the child got into trouble again, people would instinctively think he was the mastermind. His reputation would be damaged, and it would naturally drag the child down as well! So, from now on, he should just suffer in silence, burning incense and praying to Buddha every day, hoping the Buddha would protect the child.

Damn, he's practically become that child's umbrella from now on!

It's not about harming others, but rather ending up having to protect them instead!

How comical!

Rong Ling ah, Rong Ling!

How could you bear such hatred!

Hate that!

It's not that easy!

It's not that easy!

That child must be eliminated. Seeing the expression that child suddenly showed just now, he became even more determined to get rid of him. He knew deep down that as long as that child was alive, his own child would never become the head of the family!

That innate beastliness and domineering aura couldn't be cultivated later on, it was ingrained in their very blood. Rong Qikeng knew that in this aspect, his own child would forever fall short!

Don't think he didn't see it either, when that child shouted out in anger, the glint that suddenly appeared in Rong Sanbo's eyes. That old fellow's eyes have always been sharp; whenever he sees a promising seedling, he won't let him go and will definitely find a way to bring him under his wing. Even if that child doesn't become the head of the family, he'll probably inherit Rong Sanbo's position in the future. Look at it this way, he'll always be an obstacle!

This must be removed!

The child is currently unable to move. He bears it for now, but what about the child's mother...

Rong Qiang thought of the woman who was as beautiful as a flower, and let out a cold snort!

In a moment of panic, he forgot that the woman was incredibly complex. Any one of those chaotic events could be twisted and turned into a story, capable of throwing anyone into disarray. And it seemed like she was the most important person involved! To be able to give birth to Rong Ling's son so peacefully at such a young age, and even have Rong Ling make such a big fuss, vowing to protect her, suggested that her position in his heart was not insignificant.

Otherwise, today there wouldn't just be one Lin Chengyu!You won't stop, will you Fine, then I'll go play on another website, I'll watch AVs. If you have the guts, you can block each one. Hehe, I'll go rent a DVD later, hmph. If you have the guts, you can s...
