Chapter 420 Two Flowers on One Vine
There was a dead silence on the other end of the line.

Gao Dongxu could feel that Ruxin and Ruqing held their breath, and their long eyelashes cast uneasy shadows on their pale cheeks.

Their gazes were fixed on the phone screen, their nails unconsciously digging into their palms, as if they could see through the small screen to the old Chaofeng on the other end - the woman they had regarded as a god since childhood.

He himself maintained an almost lazy posture, even leisurely turning the Qianlong white jade ring on his thumb. The warm texture of the mutton-fat jade flowed across his fingertips.

The silence lasted a full twenty-seven seconds. Gao Dongxu counted silently in his mind, savoring every second as if appreciating the last struggle of a trapped animal.

"Mr. Gao, you should have subdued them both by now." The electronic voice finally sounded again, but it softened slightly. "They know the rules. Betrayer will die!"

Ruqing's hand suddenly grasped the armrest of the sofa, leaving five crescent-shaped indentations on the leather surface. Gao Dongxu noticed that Ruxin's throat rolled slightly - this was her only exposed sign of nervousness.

"Shen," Gao Dongxu suddenly chuckled, his voice as cold as ice. "Did I give you face?!" He paused deliberately, looking at the two sisters' backs that instantly straightened with satisfaction. "You don't really think you've hidden yourself so well that no one knows your true identity, do you?"

A barely audible gasp came from the other end of the line, a shock that even a voice changer couldn't completely mask. Gao Dongxu's lips curled into a cold smile.

"What do you want?" After a brief silence, a female voice tore off the electronic disguise. Shen Yunchen's voice was like sandpaper, and the suppressed anger made every word tremble.

Ruxin and Ruqing's fingers had been entwined tightly together, their knuckles turning white. Disbelief and despair were intertwined in their eyes. They didn't know how Gao Dongxu knew the old Chaofeng's true identity, but they did know that they had no way out. The old Chaofeng had already determined that they had betrayed the sisters.

"Haha, a bunch of rats from the gutter," Gao Dongxu leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs and swung leisurely, the white jade ring gleaming with a cold luster under the light, "You keep some desperate criminals, and you really think you're a big shot?" He suddenly leaned forward, his voice suddenly becoming harsh, "If it weren't for the fact that seeing you jumping around and making trouble is quite entertaining, old Chaofeng? Humph, I'll turn you into a convulsive man!
A bunch of fake country bumpkins pretending to be a terrorist like me.

If you want to be terrorists so badly, believe it or not, I can put you all on the list with just one phone call!"

The whole world understands that all we need to fight terrorism is a list!
. . . . . .

They fell into silence again, and the sisters Ruxin and Ruqing were completely stunned.

You know, in their growth experience from childhood to adulthood, Lao Chaofeng is their sky, the god in their hearts, the most powerful and omnipotent.

However, at this moment, their beliefs completely collapsed. It turned out that in the eyes of powerful people like Gao Dongxu, the extremely powerful Old Chaofeng was just a slightly larger ant. They even indulged him because it could entertain them and relieve their boredom, even though they knew it was harmful.

Because in his eyes, they are ants that can be crushed at any time, and he doesn't need to care about the ants' moods and thoughts at all.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao. My tone and attitude were problematic before. Please don't take it personally..."

While Ruxin and Ruqing were completely dumbfounded, the soft apology voice of the old court official Shen Yunchen with a dry laugh came from the phone.

"Haha, you are quite a character as you can bend and stretch yourself." Gao Dongxu commented jokingly and domineeringly.

"I've taken a fancy to these twins—"

"It's an honor for these sisters." Shen Yunchen's flattering smile came from the phone.

It completely refreshed the two sisters' cognition and three views of Lao Chaofeng. It turned out that even someone as powerful as a god would crawl on the ground and give up her dignity.

"Couldn't you have said so earlier? You just made me angry..." Gao Dongxu looked at the two sisters who were completely dumbfounded and said calmly: "From now on, they have nothing to do with you. You can continue your business of making and selling counterfeit goods and destroying the Five Meridians. I will take good care of them. Don't do anything to make me unhappy, otherwise, I will come to you directly!"

"I understand. Don't worry..."

"That's all, I'm hanging up—" Gao Dongxu lost interest in continuing to communicate with the old Chaofeng. He knew that the old Chaofeng was already a frightened bird at this moment.

When the busy tone sounded, Ru Xin realized her back was completely soaked. Gao Dongxu played with his phone, his eyes fixed on the rain outside the window—he knew that something must have been smashed to pieces in the Shen family mansion in Beijing.

"Snapped--"

After hanging up, Shen Yunchen slammed her phone against the wall, shattering the latest smartphone on its rosewood frame. Her fingers twitched uncontrollably, leaving five hideous scratches on the mahogany tabletop from her meticulously maintained nails.

"Gao! Dong! Xu!" Each word sounded like blood foam squeezing from between teeth. The Ru kiln celadon vase on the antique shelf reflected her distorted face—a face that had never been exposed to the organization before, and now it was flushed red.

She suddenly leaped up, grabbed the purple clay teapot on the table and smashed it to the ground. The priceless Shi Dabin authentic teapot shattered on the bluestone slab, just like the mysterious mask she had painstakingly crafted for decades.

"Madam." The old butler in the shadows hurried forward and asked with concern, but when he saw Shen Yunchen's murderous look, he hesitated to speak.

"Notify the four major camps to move immediately and speed up the transfer of funds to HK and the foot basin!" "Shen Yunchen picked up a piece of purple clay fragment. The sharp edge cut her fingertips, but she seemed not to feel the pain. "Use plan B, reveal the information to Xu Yuan, and let him find the Conch Peak-" The blood spread on the rabbit-hair pattern of the Song Dynasty Jianzhan, like a winding poisonous snake.

"understand!"

She looked out the window at the capital, blanketed in snow. The young nobleman was like a spider waiting in the center of its web. The fear and intimidation accumulated by the old court official over decades seemed nothing more than a monkey show to him.

"Please help me make an appointment with Huang Yanyan tomorrow." Shen Yunchen suddenly said, "I want to talk to her."

After the old housekeeper left, she finally allowed herself to collapse into the armchair. Her right hand unconsciously touched her bleeding fingertips. She remembered the first time her beloved sister had called her "Mom" as a child. Now, these two sharpest knives were taken away from her by someone else. Shen Yunchen suddenly chuckled, his laughter mixing with the whistling cold wind, echoing through the room like an eerie melody.

“Who’s going first?”

Gao Dongxu's voice was low and playful, carrying an air of pressure that refused to be rejected. His gaze shifted slowly between heartfelt and emotional, like he was admiring two delicate birds trapped in a cage, both nervous and with nowhere to escape.

Ruxin's fingertips unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, her knuckles turning white, and her breathing quickened slightly. She was always calm and composed, but now she didn't even have the courage to look up. She could only stare at her knees, as if there was something there worth studying. The tips of her ears had already turned red, and even her snow-white neck was stained with a faint pink.

Her mind was in a mess—

She had never imagined that one day she would be scrutinized so nakedly, like a commodity waiting to be sold. Even more terrifying was that she was unable to resist, not even the right to refuse.

"Why... did it become like this?"

She bit her lower lip, trying to maintain her last bit of dignity, but her heart was beating uncontrollably, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Ruqing, standing beside her, was even more flustered than she was. Her face flushed crimson, and even her breathing became disordered. Her fingers were tightly twisted together, her knuckles turning white from the effort. Her legs unconsciously pressed together, her toes slightly curled inward, as if she was trying to curl herself into a ball.

"Sister...what should I do..."

Her eyes were slightly hot, and she felt ashamed. She had never experienced anything like this before, let alone thought it would happen in this way.

She raised her eyes secretly, but when she met Gao Dongxu's playful gaze, she immediately lowered her head like a frightened deer, her eyelashes trembling violently.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing.

Gao Dongxu looked at their reactions, a meaningful smile curling up at the corner of his lips. He stood up slowly, the sound of his leather shoes on the carpet like some kind of countdown, making the two sisters even more nervous.

"It's really fun."

"There's clearly no way out, but you still refuse to give in."

"But...it's more interesting this way, isn't it?"

He walked up to them, leaned forward slightly, and spoke in a low voice with an irresistible command -

"Since you don't choose either, then... let's go together."

——The two sisters’ pupils suddenly contracted.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

A vine with two shadows reflects on the clear water, two cheeks shy of the rosy clouds and bright against each other. Secretly annoyed by the autumn wind, they can't separate, and deep in the night they still chirp together.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"We share the same vein," whispered the twin lotuses in the morning dew, "but we each count our own heartbeats."

God smiled in the sunset glow: "I allow you to share life only to teach you to learn - to touch, not to possess." -- Rabindranath Tagore
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The morning light filtered through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows on the messy bed. The air still lingered with the charming scent of last night.

Gao Dongxu, who had just woken up, half leaned against the headboard, his dark hair slightly disheveled, revealing his well-defined chest. In the sunlight, the satisfied smile on his lips was so bright.

His eyes slowly swept over the sister who was still sleeping beside him, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

Ruxin lay beside him, her long black hair spread out like silk, setting off her jade-like skin. Her face was peaceful in sleep, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes, which were slightly red and swollen, with faint traces of tears visible.

On the other side, Ruqing was curled up like a lazy cat, half her face buried in the pillow, breathing lightly. Her sleeping posture was not as dignified as her sister's, but rather a bit of a messy and innocent look.

Her fingers unconsciously clutched the corner of the quilt, as if she were still wrestling in her dream.

Gao Dongxu chuckled softly, his fingertips gently stroking Ruxin's hair, then turned and pinched Ruqing's earlobe, causing her to hum softly in her dream and unconsciously rub against him.

"Don't pretend to be asleep when you wake up." His voice was low and had the hoarseness that is unique to waking up in the morning.

Ruxin's eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes as bright as water. She dodged slightly when her gaze met his, yet she forced herself to remain calm. Ruqing, on the other hand, rubbed her eyes dazedly. When she took in the scene, her face flushed instantly, and she subconsciously shrank back into the quilt.

Gao Dongxu admired their completely different reactions and smiled even more deeply.
