"Madman!" She quickly pounced on Ji Cheng and pulled Auntie He away from her, who was crying from the slap. She then gave Ji Cheng a tight slap on his face.
"Pa!" The sound echoed throughout the entire villa.
Ji Cheng was dumbfounded!
Qing Ning was dumbfounded!
Auntie He was also dumbfounded!
"Dad!" Ji Mo, who had rushed back in a hurry, happened to witness the scene of Qing Ning slapping Ji Cheng's old face. He anxiously shouted and rushed towards Ji Cheng, who was being slapped. At the same time, he pushed Qing Ning away with one hand and pulled Ji Cheng behind him.
Glaring at Qing Ning with bloodshot eyes, he roared,""Damn woman, are you crazy? My dad is sick, yet you still hit him!”
" I…I didn't mean to…" Looking at her numb hands, Xiaoning shook her head quickly with a guilty expression.
Although she disliked Ji Cheng, she was kind-hearted and would never hit a sick old man. It was really an accident just now. It was a conditioned reflex!
However, no matter how hard Ren Qingning tried to explain herself, she would never be able to clear her name.
"You didn't mean it?" Ji Mo continued to shout at her. I didn't do it on purpose, so I hit him so hard. If I did, my dad would be dead now! Get out of the Ji family immediately!”
"Ji Mo, I…"
"Miss Xiaoning, let's go!" Auntie He tugged at Qing Ning's arm, feeling a headache coming on. Qing Ning could only look at Ji Mo hesitantly before turning around and walking towards the door.
When she turned around, she heard Ji Mo's anxious concern for Ji Cheng.""Dad, are you okay? I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have kept her! If you don't want to see her, then I won't bring her over to make you angry in the future!”
"Pa!" However, Ji Cheng returned the favor with a resounding slap and a torrent of curses."Sorry again! I hate it when you say sorry, do you know that? No amount of apologies can bring my wife back! You should be the one dead…Why aren't you the one dead!”
Ji Cheng said as he started to punch and kick Ji Mo.
"Stop!" Qing Ning could not help but turn around, wanting to pounce on Ji Mo.
"I told you to get lost!" However, Ji Mo roared at Qing Ning with reddened eyes, successfully stopping her in her tracks. She then silently endured Ji Cheng's scolding and kicks.
After standing rooted to the ground and watching for a few seconds, she finally could not stand it any longer and quickly left the Ji family home while covering her heart that was aching so much that she could not control herself.
She shook her head weakly as she cursed Ji Mo in her heart for being stupid and filial!
There was still no news of Xing Ruoqi at around eight o'clock in the evening. Ji Mo endured the fatigue in his heart and the accumulated pain from being beaten up by Ji Cheng several times. He carried a bottle of red wine up to the top floor.
He was enjoying the cool breeze and drinking red wine. His expression was gloomy and depressed.
His mind was filled with the pitying look in her eyes before she left the Ji family home, making him feel extremely embarrassed.
In fact, he believed that she did not mean to hit his father, but at that time, he still shouted at her indiscriminately.
When he went to the office in the morning, he thought that his father would not find out that Xiaoning was at their house with his silent and blank expression. Even if he did, he would not be able to make a fuss.
He was still deeply convinced that they would not meet.
However, he had underestimated his father and this damned fate. In the end, they still bumped into each other.
The thing that he had been trying so hard to hide had still been discovered by Qing Ning! His inferiority, his inability, and his lack of expectations were all known to Qing Ning.
Looking at her pitiful eyes, he felt extremely unbearable! How did she see him like this?
The reason why he was so anxious to chase her away was because he didn't want her to see how unbearable he was... However, she was so smart. Could it be that she had already thought of the cause and effect of the matter from her father's scolding?
Ji Mo exhaled gloomily and gulped down a few mouthfuls of red wine. His eyes were lifeless as he looked at the night scene of the manor under the illumination of the lights. The shadows of the trees were mottled, and his heart began to grow cold.
Just as Ji Mo was in a daze, the phone in his pocket rang. He reluctantly took out his phone and saw the caller ID on the screen. His cold heart began to beat rapidly and glow.
This was the first time that she had called him. At the thought of this, his hand that was holding the phone could not help but tremble nervously. At the same time, he was wondering why she was calling him.
Why did she call him when he shouted at her today? Was it because she sympathized with him?
Ji Mo hesitated for a while, and only thought of picking up the call when his phone stopped ringing.
In the end, she could only stare at the silent phone for a long while before she called Qing Ning back.
By the time she picked up the call, Ji Mo's voice had already returned to its usual coldness.""Is there something you need?"
On the other end, Qing Ning was silent for a while before she said faintly,""I heard from Auntie He that your aunt ran away from home. Have you found her?”
Of course, Auntie He had never told her about it, but if she did not say it, it would arouse Ji Mo's suspicion.
"This is my family matter, it has nothing to do with you!”She was showing concern for him. He should be happy, but whenever he mentioned his family, he would think of how she had found out about all the bad things he had done. He felt uneasy and was afraid that she would sympathize with him, so he spoke in a distant manner.
"You…you really don't know what's good for you!”After saying that, she wanted to hang up, but she decided not to argue with him at the thought that he must be having a hard time today. Instead, she suppressed her temper and asked,""Hooligan Ji, do you need help?"
"Thank you, but there's no need. I'll find her!”It wasn't that he didn't want to accept Xiaoning's good intentions, but he really couldn't figure out how she would be able to find the person whom he couldn't find even after using all the connections he had.
However, her concern warmed his cold heart.
She wanted to tell Ji Mo not to worry and to rest early. She would find a way to find her for him! However, the two of them had always been at loggerheads with each other. To suddenly ask her to speak to him in a gentle voice…she admitted that she could not bring herself to say it.
"Yes, I believe you will find it very soon! I'm going to sleep. Goodnight!" After saying that, Qing Ning hung up.
Ji Mo looked at his phone, which had gone silent, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed.
He really wished that he could have a chat with her at this moment, but…it was just wishful thinking.
Instead of going to bed as she had said, she held her phone and thought about how depressed and exhausted Ji Mo would be at the moment. She could not bear it and decided to do everything she could to help him find her as soon as possible.
After making up her mind, Qing Ning quickly returned to the netherworld and searched for the Nether King everywhere. As she searched, she called out,""Grandpa Ming, Grandpa Ming, where are you? I need your help!”
"Qing girl, impatient, impetuous, and in a hurry, what do you look like?”In the end, Qing Ning found the Ten Kings of Hell lying in the middle of a large patch of sand flowers.
Qing Ning looked at the Nether King resentfully and said,""Grandpa Ming, I just didn't come back to see you for a few hours. Why are you so upset? I called you so many times, but you didn't answer! Grandpa Ming, you've changed. You don't even love me anymore!”
Nether King Er Ha glanced at Qing Ning helplessly and sat up from the bushes. He smiled kindly and said,""Don't spout nonsense, girl. How has Grandpa changed? It's clearly you who has changed! Tell me, is it about Ji Mo?”
"Grandpa, how did you know?" Qing Ning asked in surprise.”
The Nether King pinched Qing Ning's cheek and said,""You've become slow after going to the human world. He had forgotten what his grandfather was. His grandfather was a god. How could he not know what was going on with his fingers?”
Upon hearing this, Qing Ning's eyes lit up and she said with a hopeful look,""Grandpa, help me find someone! You just have to tell me where she is now!”
Nether King Er Ha pondered for a while and said faintly,""This person is at the top of the mountain, deep in the old forest! Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed. Qing girl, this is all I can say. Use your smart brain to think!”
"The peak of the mountain, deep in the old forest?" Qing Ning muttered the words of the Ten Yama Lords and left the underworld with a frown.
This mountain peak might be the top of a certain mountain, but it could also be the tallest mountain peak in the city they were in. As for the depths of the old forest, it was a place where the trees were dense in the mountains.
Qing Ning thought that the mountain peak Grandpa Ming mentioned should be the latter. Therefore, she decided to start searching from the highest mountain in the city they were in, Mount Jingluan.
Mount Jingluan was located in the suburbs north of the city. It was a national green protection area with the most primitive forests, all kinds of rare trees, flowers, and plants, as well as a large number of wild animals.
That place was relatively remote. It was said that there was no cell phone signal there!
Deep in the mountains and forests, Qing Ning really could not figure out why Xing Ruoqi would go to such a place. Was she greedy for the fresh air there? Or did she not want anyone to find her, so she simply found a place where she could not even get a phone signal?
Ji Mo had probably sent so many people to find her, but they couldn't because he didn't expect her to go deep into the mountains.
Thinking of Ji Cheng's cruelty and Ji Mo's humble request, Qing Ning could not wait for the sun to rise and went to Mount Jingluan overnight.
Mount Jingluan was pitch-black at night. If it were a mortal, they wouldn't even be able to see their own fingers. However, Qing Ning, who had lived in the underworld for thousands of years, was no different from day and night.
The air in the suburbs was fresh and pure. It gathered the essence of the sun and the moon. It was a very good place for cultivation.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Qing Ning listened to the rustling of the leaves in the wind and the chirping of insects and frogs. She took a deep breath of the fresh air that was filled with the fragrance of grass, and her entire body tensed up.
Looking up, he saw dark clouds gathering rapidly and densely in the sky, causing the originally pitch-black Jingluan Mountain to sink into endless darkness. The cool and comfortable mountain wind was also quickly dyed with a few traces of bone-piercing coldness and killing intent.
"Ah!" Then, she heard a scream accompanied by the mountain breeze.
With a cold expression, Qing Ning held her breath and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye. She followed the sound and moved to the depths of the mountain, where a straw hut was lit up by candlelight in the woods.
"Snake Demon, how dare you do evil again? I won't let you off this time!" That's right, Qing Ning met Bai Yuqi again.
At this moment, Bai Yuqi was raising her sharp claws and trying to stab the left chest of the woman who was about 50 years old. She wanted to carry out a cruel act of ripping her heart out.
With a wave of her hand, Qing Ning shot out two rays of green light that repelled Bai Yuqi. Then, she quickly tapped the sleeping acupoint of the woman, who was already frightened out of her wits.
" Uh…" Bai Yuqi, who was caught off-guard, was hit by the two green lights and let out a muffled groan. She raised her head and glared at Qing Ning, who had appeared out of thin air."You've been following me?"
"You're thinking too much!" Qing Ning snorted disdainfully. Snake Demon, you have repeatedly harmed human lives. You have committed a heinous crime. Go to the underworld and ask for forgiveness from the Ten Yama Kings!”
As she spoke, Qing Ning shot out a few more powerful green beams at Bai Yuqi. However, Bai Yuqi, who was prepared this time, glared at Qing Ning coldly when the green beams hit her. Then, she turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from the straw hut.
"Humph! Do you think you can escape?" Instead of chasing after her, she walked to the bedside and glanced at the unconscious woman.
Although the woman was already in her fifties, her skin was well-maintained. It was rosy and smooth, and she still had her charm. However, her eyes were a little dark.
Taking out her mobile phone, she found a picture she downloaded from the internet before coming here and compared it with the woman on the bed. After that, she nodded with a smile.
That's right, this woman was none other than Xing Ruoqi, whom Ji Mo had sent out many people to search for an entire day and night.
After confirming the woman's identity, Qing Ning placed her hand on the woman's head and made a hand seal to erase her memory. She then fiddled with her phone and took a few photos of the woman from a few unclear angles.
After he was done, he walked out of the hut and turned on his phone's flash. After taking a few more photos, he cast a barrier around the hut before he went after Bai Yuqi.
After Bai Yuqi escaped from Mount Jingluan, she entered the noisy " DearmBar " with injuries all over her body. She found a darker seat and sat down. Her eyes were cold as she looked at the men and women in the red light district who were twisting crazily to the music.
As she was concerned about Qing Ning, she did not dare to act rashly today, except for the human heart she had eaten last night. After nightfall, he went to Jingluan Mountain, wanting to find a place with the best absorption of the sun and moon spiritual energy to cultivate.
However, he did not expect to meet someone in a remote and uninhabited place like Mount Jingluan. Bai Yuqi was secretly delighted that she had actually met someone in the wilderness. She thought that this was a gift from the heavens and that Mount Jingluan was hundreds of miles away from the city, so there was no way that Qing Ning would know that she had committed a crime here.
She did not expect that when she was about to make her move, that damned Xiaoning would come and ruin her plans again, even injuring her.
When she was in the alternate dimension, she had already been severely injured by two people who had similar auras to Qing Ning. Now, she was being injured again and again by Qing Ning. If she did not eat a few human hearts tonight to replenish her vitality, she would not be able to live well for the next few days.
However, if she were to lay her hands on a living person, Qing Ning would discover her tracks even faster. It seemed that she would have to suffer for the next few days by beating the hearts of a few people who had just died.
When she recovered from her injuries and regained her magical power, she would slowly seek revenge from Qingning. By then, it would be Qingning's death anniversary.
The more Bai Yuqi thought about it, the more vicious and cold her expression became. Her entire person was gloomy and sinister, like a fallen devil. Her might was dangerous, but it had a fatal attraction to those men who were also fallen.
"Miss, shall we have a drink together?" A middle-looking man, who was neither too fat nor too short, walked towards Bai Yuqi with a cocktail in his hand.
"Get lost!" Bai Yuqi waved the wine away coldly.
"F * ck, who splashed me!" The wine spilled on the back of the man sitting next to her with his back facing her. The man turned around and glared at Bai Yuqi and the man who toasted her.
The man hid the wine glass behind his back and said unkindly,"Brother, it's none of my business. The wine was spilled by this woman.”
As a result, the man who was splashed with wine turned his gaze to Bai Yuqi, who looked pale and weak.""You spilled the wine?"
The cold and arrogant Bai Yuqi did not even bother to talk to these men. She snorted coldly and turned her face away, completely disregarding the anger of the men.
"Yo! How arrogant!" The man who was splashed with wine did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and became interested in the arrogant and cold Bai Yuqi."How about this! Accompany me for one night, and I won't pursue the matter of you spilling wine!”
"Accompany you?" Bai Yuqi glanced at the man, then grabbed a glass of wine from someone and quickly splashed it on the man's face.""You are not qualified!"
After pouring the wine, Bai Yuqi wanted to leave, but she did not get her wish.
"Brothers, stop this reckless slut!”The man was thoroughly enraged after being splashed with wine again and again. With his command, the men and women who were still wriggling around formed a circle at the same time and blocked Bai Yuqi's way.
At this moment, Bai Yuqi was already exhausted. She had used all her remaining magic power to escape. Now that she was covered in internal injuries, she was no different from an ordinary woman. In fact, she was even weaker than an ordinary woman.
However, she was not one to lose. Even if she could not win, she would not show it on the surface. She narrowed her long and narrow eyes, killing intent flashing in them."Move aside! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
In the past, Bai Yuqi had never thought that she would be bullied by these ordinary humans one day. Was this what it meant to be bullied by dogs?
Hence, Bai Yuqi's hatred for Qing Ning grew even stronger. She secretly swore to herself that she would definitely make Qing Ning suffer a horrible death one day!
"Tsk, tsk, tsk…Little guy! She's just a little woman. What right do you have to be so arrogant? You're welcome. I'd like to see how you're going to be rude!”The man glared at Bai Yuqi, one of his hands caressing Bai Yuqi's smooth face restlessly.
"Pa!" Bai Yuqi slapped the man's hand away with a look of disgust and killing intent.
"You actually dare to hit me?" The man felt that he had lost a lot of face. He gritted his teeth and waved his hand."Brothers, tie this woman up and throw her on my bed. I want to teach her how to treat men!”
"Alright, Brother Hao!" A few men with dyed yellow hair and a hooligan aura laughed and approached Bai Yuqi.
"Get lost! Get lost!" Bai Yuqi finally knew how to be anxious. However, she had lost all her mana and suffered serious internal injuries. If a man could not resist, what more a group of them?
They could only retreat step by step, while the other customers were indifferent to this kind of thing as if they were used to it.
The man in the lead laughed smugly and said,"Crazy? Why wasn't he arrogant anymore? So she was just a paper tigress! Pretentious!"
"Humph! How dare you offend our boss so many times without any capital? You really don't know what death is!”Another man added," As the saying goes, don't act cool. You'll be struck by lightning if you act cool!"”
"Ah! Let go, let go!" In the end, Bai Yuqi's shoulders were grabbed by the two men, one on each side. She struggled endlessly, but she could not break free from the men's restraint.
Bai Yuqi, who was extremely resentful, was so furious that she gritted her teeth until they bled. Everything was given to her by her, and one day, she would return it all to her.
"Hehe, I like your temper!”The man who was called Brother Hao walked forward with a lewd smile. He held Bai Yuqi's sharp chin with one hand and stroked the tofu with his thumb.
Bai Yuqi looked at the man with a frighteningly cold gaze. The man's heart trembled, but he waved his hand without any hesitation."Bring her to my bedroom!"
"Alright, Brother Hao, remember to let our brothers have a taste of fish after you're done.”As the men spoke, they revealed lewd smiles.
Brother Hao laughed.”
No one knew that Bai Yuqi had already memorized the faces of these people.
"Woman! Let's go!" The two men dragged Bai Yuqi out of the DearmBar, wanting to drag her to Brother Hao's place.
She had only taken a few steps when she heard a magnetic but unusually cold voice pass through the noisy hall.
"A few men bullying a weak woman. Don't you find it embarrassing?”
When Bai Yuqi, who was struggling, heard this voice, it was as if she had heard the sound of nature. She stopped struggling and cried out,"Mr. Ji, save me! Save me!"
"Who is it? If you have the guts, come to me!" This place had always been taken care of by Brother Hao. He was like a local tyrant. No one had ever dared to go against him here.
As soon as Brother Hao finished speaking, a few men in black suits pushed aside the crowd and made way for the man who came against the light.
The man walked at a steady pace. Even though he was in a muddy place, his aura was still clear, cold, and noble. He forcefully created an imposing manner in someone else's place, like an emperor who had successfully invaded. His aura gave people a suffocating sense of oppression.
If Bai Yuqi had been reluctant to lay her hands on Ji Mo because of his beauty in the past, then at this moment, seeing the tall and domineering Ji Mo, Bai Yuqi was truly moved by a mortal for the first time in a thousand years.
"CEO…CEO Ji!" When the insufferably arrogant Brother Hao saw the appearance of the person who had come, he could not help but stutter. He was afraid of Ji Mo from the bottom of his heart, and the bully suddenly became a grandson."We were blind to offend CEO Ji's people. We're sorry!”
As he spoke, he gave a look to the person behind him and roared,"Why aren't you letting go of CEO Ji's men? Apologize to CEO Ji and this lady!"
There were probably not many people in this city who didn't know Ji Mo. They all knew that Ji Mo had a strong background and couldn't be provoked.
Therefore, the two men who had grabbed Bai Yuqi immediately let go of her and bowed to Ji Mo. They hurriedly apologized,""CEO Ji, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Please forgive us this once! Miss, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for once.”
Ji Mo treated their various apologies coldly. After a long silence, he looked at the tearful Bai Yuqi and frowned. He said to the bodyguard behind him in disgust,""Send her back. Don't let her embarrass herself here!”
"Mr. Ji, I don't want to go back to the hospital. I'm the only one in the hospital. Can you send me back to the villa that I used to live in?”Bai Yuqi raised her small face. Her pitiful face was full of pleading, and the coldness from before could no longer be found.
This obvious contrast made Brother Hao and the others unable to react in time. Fortunately, she and Ji Mo did not have any intention of pursuing the matter.
Ji Mo stared coldly at Bai Yuqi for a while before waving his hand.""Send her back to the villa!"
Actually, Ji Mo had many doubts about Bai Yuqi. He did not know why this woman would appear here. Wasn't her body very delicate? She even fainted so easily. She actually dared to sneak out of the hospital and come to such a place where all kinds of people were mixed together?
Was she really ignorant, or was she extremely daring? Also, why didn't she want to go back to the hospital when she was in poor health? But she wanted to go to his villa? Besides the nanny, there was no one else in the villa. How could it be better than the hospital?
However, Ji Mo never spoke much to people he didn't care about! Saving her this time was only because of the sense of responsibility in his heart! Since she said she wasn't going to the hospital, then she wouldn't go!
How could Ji Mo know that Bai Yuqi did not go to the hospital because she knew that Xiaoning would go to the hospital to look for her?
"Mr. Ji, don't go!" Seeing that Ji Mo was about to turn around and leave, Bai Yuqi took two steps forward and rushed into his arms. She hugged Ji Mo tightly and cried, refusing to let go.
Ji Mo had always been a little obsessed with cleanliness. It was fine that she had hugged him, but she had even wiped her tears and snot on him. He immediately froze in disgust, and his entire face darkened.
He glanced at the indifferent bodyguard beside him and said coldly,"Send her away. Are you deaf?”
"Yes, Mr. Ji!" As the bodyguard spoke, he stepped forward to pull Bai Yuqi's hand.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuqi hugged Ji Mo even tighter and shook her head helplessly. With a tearful face, she looked at Ji Mo and begged,""Mr. Ji, I'm scared. Can you accompany me? I'm really scared!"
If it was any other time, Ji Mo might have felt pity for her. However, he was clearly in a bad mood today. He was in a very irritable mood. If he couldn't even handle his own matters, how could he have the time to pity others?
Ji Mo's face was cold as he tried to pull Bai Yuqi's arm away from him, but the strange thing was…he couldn't pull it off. When he lowered his head to look at Bai Yuqi in confusion, he realized that she had already fainted. Her pale little face was covered in tears.
"Pull her away!" Ji Mo frowned and ordered the bodyguards.
"Yes, CEO Ji!" The bodyguards responded and came forward to help pull Bai Yuqi's hand away. However, strangely, no one succeeded in pulling her hand off. Her hand was tightly wrapped around Ji Mo's waist and refused to let go.
When the customers in the bar saw this scene, they clicked their tongues in wonder. Many women looked at Bai Yuqi jealously and discussed among themselves.
"He's too shameless. It's fine if he pretended to faint, but he still refuses to let go of CEO Ji!”
