The old house of the Kang family.

The Lu family gave up the bidding, and finally the Su Group auctioned the land at a high price of 27.9 billion yuan, and it was reported back to Kangrui City as soon as possible.

"Bang-"

Kang Ruicheng angrily threw an antique vase, sharp ceramic shards scattered to the ground, and the two subordinates who rushed back to report stood on the side in a cold sweat, not daring to say a word.

"I told you to pay attention to her movements, after the auction started, did she contact Lu Boyan's people?" Kang Ruicheng's face was furious, and there was murderous aura between the words.

The two subordinates struggled for a long time, and one of them finally found his voice: "Brother Cheng, at that time, I was in charge of monitoring Miss Xu's communication, and Ali was in charge of observing, and the result was...... None of us found anything unusual about Miss Xu. ”

Kang Ruicheng's eyes showed a fierce look: "No? ”

Ali stiffened his head and shook his head: "Not really." During the whole auction process, Miss Xu just cared about the bidding and didn't move her mobile phone at all, so it was impossible for her to contact Lu Boyan's people. If she had to say that there was, only after the auction was over, she said a few words to Shen Yuechuan. ”

Kang Ruicheng stared at Ali, as if he was going to dig two holes in him with his gaze: "What did Xu Youning and Shen Yuechuan say?" ”

"What Shen Yuechuan asked, I couldn't hear it clearly, but I paid attention to Miss Xu's answer, what she said was that she didn't regret her choice, and Su Jian'an and Lu Boyan couldn't have any impact on her. Oh, and also, she said she admitted that she had approached Muss and the others for a purpose. ”

Kang Ruicheng's expression slowly returned to calm: "Okay, you guys go out." ”

After the two men went out, only Kang Ruicheng was left in the living room, and he sat down on the sofa with a thoughtful gaze.

Perhaps, he can trust Xu Youning.

That's right, before this, he had never fully trusted Xu Youning.

Xu Youning was forged by him himself, and no one knows her temper, character, and style of acting better than him. When Xu Youning was still undercover beside Mu Sijue, her tone became more and more hesitant, and even failed again and again, he knew that Xu Youning was about to get out of his control.

At that time, he had only one idea: either find a way to make Xu Youning come back willingly, or kill her.

In the end, Kang Ruicheng chose the former, using the method of killing Grandma Xu and then blaming Mu Sijue, so that Xu Youning regarded Mu Sijue as an enemy who did not share the sky, and then showed favor to Xu Youning and lured her back.

But the Xu Youning who returned to him was not the same as before, although it could be explained that Grandma Xu's death had too much impact on her, but he didn't intend to fully believe Xu Youning.

After all, he knows best how smart Xu Youning is.

Before the auction, the reason why he revealed the "highest price" to Xu Youning and sent Xu Youning was to further confirm Xu Youning's identity.

He wanted to see if Xu Youning could really deal with Lu Boyan ruthlessly, and if he really wouldn't leak any news to Lu Boyan.

Now it seems that he made the right bet.

Thinking of this, the anger in Kang Ruicheng's eyes was gradually replaced by a false calm, he looked at the time, and estimated that Xu Youning should come back to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he put down his hand, a rush of footsteps came from afar, and after a while, Xu Youning came back in a hurry.

"What's going on?" Xu Youning's brows furrowed, "Didn't you say that the highest price of the Lu family is two hundred and eighty billion?" Why didn't Shen Yuechuan bid again when he paid 27 billion? ”

Kang Ruicheng got up, stretched out his hand to wrap around Xu Youning's waist, and looked at her with a slight smile.

This is not the first time, it stands to reason that Xu Youning should have been accustomed to Kang Ruicheng's intimate contact a long time ago, but after some hard work, Xu Youning found that she still overestimated herself.

No matter how long it has passed, her rejection of Kangrui City has spread strongly from psychological to physiological, and she will never be able to get used to it.

"What the hell is going on?" Xu Youning used the displeasure to hide the discomfort in his heart, "Why are you still smiling?" ”

"Why don't you laugh? Something just happened that made me happy. As he spoke, the curvature of Kang Ruicheng's lips became more and more obvious.

"......" Xu Youning turned his head and had an expression of "I'm not happy, so I'm not interested in things that make you happy".

In fact, she could guess the reason why Kang Ruicheng was happy.

"Alright." Kang Ruicheng held Xu Youning's face and gently forced Xu Youning to face him, "I don't blame you for this matter, maybe the news I got is wrong, the highest price of the Lu family is not two hundred and eighty billion, but two hundred and seventy billion." ”

Xu Youning's expression sank a little more: "The news you got is uncertain?" ”

"When I ask someone, it's not that I'm not sure, but I can't be sure." Kang Ruicheng's hand slid down Xu Youning's arm, and finally wrapped Xu Youning's hands, "However, there is another thing, I am very sure now. ”

Xu Youning pretended not to understand: "What's the matter?" ”

Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning, his gaze getting deeper and deeper: "A-Ning, I'm glad that you're really back." As he spoke, he lowered his head and pressed his lips towards Xu Youning's lips-

Seeing that Kang Ruicheng's kiss was about to fall, Xu Youning pushed him away in time, with a shocked face: "What did you mean by what you just said?" What do you mean I'm finally back? Didn't I come back a long time ago! She emotionally shook off Kang Ruicheng's hand.

"Aning......" Kang Ruicheng tried to pull Xu Youning again, but Xu Youning's reaction was faster than him and he dodged first.

"So you didn't believe me." Xu Youning smiled self-deprecatingly, "This time, you deliberately told me that you would increase the price without an upper limit, right?" Do you think I will reveal the news to Lu Boyan, so that Lu Boyan will continue to raise the price, and finally you will ask me to stop shouting, so that you can not only determine who I am, but also make the Lu family lose a lot of money! Not only do you not believe me, you want to take advantage of me! ”

"A-Ning, I ......" Kang Ruicheng wanted to explain, but he found that he couldn't explain it at all.

Xu Youning didn't plan to listen to Kang Ruicheng's explanation, the temperature in her eyes dropped little by little, and in the end, even her anger gradually subsided.

Xu Youning didn't say anything more, turned around and left the Kang family's old house.

"Miss Xu," Ali saw Xu Youning coming out and greeted her, "Where are you going, I'll send you?" ”

Xu Youning's voice was so cold that he could fly out of the skate: "Get out!" ”

Ali was stunned, his footsteps seemed to be frozen by something, he stood in place and didn't dare to move, he could only watch Xu Youning drive away.

Subsequently, Kang Ruicheng walked out of the old mansion.

Ali was confused: "Brother Cheng, Miss Xu is gone." ”

Kang Ruicheng threw Ali a tablet: "Her car has a tracker, and the display terminal of the tracking information is in this computer, you follow her from afar, don't let her have anything happen." ”

"I see." Ali turned on the computer, and a three-dimensional map of the neighborhood was displayed on the screen, and a red dot kept flashing on the screen, moving rapidly.

Ali quickly got into the car and started the car to chase Xu Youning.

According to Xu Youning's deadly speed, if he slows down, he may be thrown out of dozens of kilometers.

The car sped on the road for more than half an hour, and finally, Ali followed Xu Youning to the river outside a villa area.

This river is a well-known landscape river in City A, and the surrounding area is very well maintained, and in the evening, there are many people walking and running along the river.

Xu Youning walked to the river, half of his body was lying on the fence, and then he didn't move, Ali couldn't see the expression on her face, and he didn't know what she was thinking.

In fact, Xu Youning didn't know what he was thinking.

She only knew that the villa area not far in front of her was where she and Mu Sijue once lived.

She is willing to come to City A, probably because this city is the place where Mu Sijue has set foot the most in addition to City G.

However, even if she and Mu Sijue's footsteps coincided, what could they do? At this point, she couldn't turn back. Even if she could turn back, she could be taken away by death at any time.

She never thought that she would face the threat of illness so early, but when there was really something in her body that threatened her life, she was calmer than she expected, and even realized that the most important thing now was not love, but to help Lu Boyan solve Kang Ruicheng and avenge her grandmother.

Only by solving Kangrui City can Mu Sijue be carefree, and when she goes to another world, she will have the face to face her grandmother.

Thinking about it, Xu Youning's eyes fell on the villa area not far away, and the corners of his lips hooked up a smile that was so faint that there were almost no traces.

If she died, Mu Sijue should not be sad, maybe it would take him a second or two to remember who she was.

And now, Mu Sijue may have changed to a new woman a long time ago, and he may only have hatred left for her.

Thinking of this, the faint smile on the corner of Xu Youning's lips also disappeared, she was like a tired old man, leaning against the fence by the river, her empty eyes stayed on the calm surface of the river, as if she was completely emptying herself, and as if she was thinking about something important.

After a while, night fell from the sky, and the whole land was plunged into darkness.

The old people who walked and the young people who ran went home one after another, only Xu Youning was still lying by the river in that position, and there was no sign of leaving.

When Kang Ruicheng drove over, he saw Xu Youning from a distance, if it weren't for being too familiar with Xu Youning, he would almost think that she was a statue standing by the river.

He walked behind Xu Youning: "Still angry? ”

Xu Youning was not surprised that Kang Ruicheng would come, and glanced at him lightly: "I just can't understand why the people who shouldn't believe in me have complete trust in me, and the people who should believe in me have always doubted me." ”

Kang Ruicheng said: "I apologize to you. ”

Xu Youning smiled, with a bit of coldness in his smile: "As you said, people like us never accept apologies. ”

Kang Ruicheng showed a rare helpless expression: "Okay, you say, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Since you want me to think about it, then you wait for me to think about it." Xu Youning held his chin and muttered for a long time, "That's it, in the future, when I make a strong request, you can only agree to me!" ”

"No problem." Kang Ruicheng smiled meaningfully, "However, what would you strongly ask for?" In the tone, there is more or less ambiguity.

Xu Youning didn't even be able to parry such a small question, and laughed twice: "I haven't thought about it yet, but it must not be what you think!" ”

After speaking, he left the river and walked towards the parking place, Kang Ruicheng looked at her back, and a smile spread on the corner of his lips.

If Xu Youning turns around, he will find that this is the truest smile on Kang Ruicheng's face for so many years - there is no malice and no deep meaning.

Just a smile from the bottom of my heart.
