Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: You Can Kill Yourself (2)

Dong Yushi was about to say something, but she noticed Dong Wenming not even giving her a glance. He stood up and went out to the courtyard. Watching his resolute back, she sudden felt bitterness in her mouth, like swallowing a bitter herb, unable to utter a single word.

At this time, Yang Ruxin leisurely made her way to the back mountain. If it weren’t for Dong Ruoqiu, had they kidnapped only Yang Baiyue, she would have found a place to sleep and then waited for them to send the ransom note.

But now it’s different. Dong Ruoqiu is still Dong Wenming’s only daughter. Although Dong Wenming can be foolish and Dong Yushi selfish at times, these are all human nature, which she can understand. Moreover, Dong Wenming has been decent to his mother, giving her so much silver and properties. This alone was enough reason for her to make this trip.

Although Lingyin Mountain is not very tall, it covers a wide area. The bamboo in the back mountain grows exceptionally well, with an extensive variety of bamboo like the Xiao Xiangzhi Phoenix-tail bamboo flourishing heavily, potentially yielding a lot of bamboo shoots in season.

In a slightly spacious area deep within the bamboo forest, several people in black waited, while Dong Ruoqiu and Yang Baiyue were tied to two thick bamboo trunks nearby.

When Yang Baiyue saw Yang Ruxin approaching, a flash of light sparked in his eyes. He had eagerly wanted to communicate with the kidnappers, but Naihe couldn’t understand his intentions and even punched him twice, not realizing they were actually using them to threaten this foolish girl.

Dong Ruoqiu also knew that Yang Ruxin was probably here to rescue them, looking at her eagerly as she approached.

“Stop.” A person in black called out in a low voice.

“I’m here,” Yang Ruxin halted her steps, “Bring out your master.”

“Haha…” Suddenly, a sharp laugh sounded as a one-armed man escorted a woman forward, “Yang Ruxin, do you still recognize me?”

Upon seeing her, Yang Ruxin smiled, “If you hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t have recognized you. After all, the people I know are all intact… I’m not familiar with someone who looks neither human nor ghost…”

“You…” Mieko was about to shout in anger, but restrained herself instead, “Hehe, Yang Ruxin, my current state is all thanks to you…”

“I knew I should have removed your other arm and leg too; that would be scary enough even without you talking…” Yang Ruxin sighed, “What a pity, I was too merciful back then.”

“You…” Mieko almost jumped up in rage, yet suppressed her fury. Her originally beautiful face twisted grotesquely, “Hehe, but today, will be your death day.”

Yang Ruxin narrowed her eyes, “So, was poisoning my carriage’s horse your doing?”

“What a pity you were too cautious…”

“So, you really can’t kill me…”

“Even if I can’t kill you, you might just kill yourself,” laughed Mieko, “Otherwise, I will slaughter them.”

Yang Ruxin fell silent suddenly, her gaze “affectionately” shifted towards Yang Baiyue, yet somewhat evasively, as if fearful of being noticed by others.

Yang Baiyue instinctively swallowed, not knowing why, but he somehow felt uneasy being watched by her.

Although Little Quan Jie was silent, he had been observing Yang Ruxin all along and naturally noticed her gaze kept falling on Yang Baiyue’s face, prompting a slight frown.
