The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

Her gentle and polite son casually picked up a crystal ashtray and, expressionless, smashed it on Pei Youyou's head again and again.

Xing's mother was so frightened that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. Through the gap in the fence, she saw Pei Youyou, whose head was covered in blood, but she refused to let go.

If Zheng Yu smashes it again, Pei Youyou will die!

You mustn't kill! You mustn't kill!

"Zhengyu! Zhengyu..." Xing's mother ran downstairs trembling, trying to stop him from smashing things any further. "What are you doing! If Pei Youyou dies, you really, really will have no way back!"

Pei Youyou's blood stained Lin Zhengyu's hands.

Seeing his mother's clearly frightened yet pleading expression, he loosened his grip on the ashtray.

Upon seeing this, Xing's mother immediately snatched it away.

The tenacious Pei Youyou did not fall to the ground, but grabbed Lin Zhengyu's leg again, her nails wishing they could pierce through his flesh.

"Lin Zhengyu, you'll die a horrible death, you'll die a horrible death!"

He was then kicked away.

Xing's mother glanced at Pei Youyou in alarm, and when she saw Lin Zhengyu about to leave, she quickly asked him where he was going.

Lin Zhengyu did not say.

Pei Youyou said it.

"Run faster, run faster! Xing Yurou, call your brother, call Xing Yanzhao to kill him! Kill him!"

Yu Rou escaped.

Xing's mother steeled her heart and immediately chased after him; this time, she was the one who grabbed Lin Zhengyu.

"Zhengyu, Zhengyu, please let Yuru go! She's your sister!" Mother Xing cried, tears streaming down her face. "You just want a hostage. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be your hostage!"

"What use are you as a hostage!" Lin Zhengyu exclaimed anxiously upon hearing the roar of the car engine. He couldn't let Xing Yurou escape!

"Let go!" He threw his mother to the ground without a second thought. "If Xing Yanzhao cared about your life or death, why would I have called Xing Yurou over here!"

Xing's mother was heartbroken.

One is her own son who doesn't care about her, and the other is the son she raised who is also so rude to her.

She only has one daughter, and she is determined not to let anything happen to her daughter.

Xing's mother got up without paying any attention and grabbed the person tightly at the door.

As the sound of the car faded into the distance, Lin Zhengyu's eyes reddened with anger. He turned his head and said, "You forced me to do this! You forced me to do this!"

He reached out and grabbed his mother's neck, throwing her away violently. He had just taken one step when his mother grabbed his other leg.

She looked up and pleaded, "Please let Yu Rou go! I beg you, I beg you, I beg you..."

For the first time, Xing's mother lowered her head.

She still turned to her own son.

By the time Lin Zhengyu ruthlessly kicked Xing's mother away and ran out, Xing Yuru's car had already driven out of the villa's perimeter.

He was so angry that he started cursing.

Unable to pursue him, Xing Yuru must have contacted Xing Yanzhao immediately.

He could only retreat and hold onto the two chips in his hand.

When Xing's mother learned that her daughter had escaped, a slight smile appeared on her face. Instantly, a wave of pain washed over her.

She gently moved her body, and what she saw before her was Pei Youyou lying in a pool of blood.

There wasn't much blood flowing from her forehead; most of it came from her genitals. She'd lost her baby.

Commit sin!

Sin!

Xing's mother feared that if Pei Youyou died, Lin Zhengyu would be beyond saving.

Lin Zhengyu was also worried that Pei Youyou was dead, which would reduce his useful bargaining chip, so the two of them went to find a first aid kit.

……

On the coastal road, Xing Yuru stepped on the gas pedal to the floor while making a phone call.

"Brother, brother, I'm walking towards the city center from Binhai Road, second brother is..."

Before he could finish speaking, a large number of vehicles approached from the front, and the license plate number of the lead vehicle was clearly visible under its headlights.

It's her brother!

Her brother's car!

Xing Yuru immediately braked, and the bodyguards' cars surrounded her to protect her. Xing Yanzhao and Yu Bosen got out of the car.

Xing Yuru burst into tears instantly, her whole body trembling, and she hesitated to open the car door.

She was terrified.

With a loud bang, Xing Yanzhao smashed the rear window of the car with his bare hands and pressed the button.

Yu Bosen opened the driver's side door and hurriedly pulled Xing Yuru out of the car, "How are you? Where did Lin Zhengyu hurt you?"

"Yu, Yu..."

Yu Bosen pulled her into his arms, his ears filled with the sound of his own nervous heartbeat, until it was drowned out by Xing Yurou's sobs.

"Yu Bosen..."

She called him by his full name.

"Alright, alright, it's nothing, Brother Xing and I are here." Yu Bosen gently patted her back.

Xing Yanzhao walked over with a cold face.

Xing Yuru immediately stepped out of Yu Bosen's arms upon seeing her brother, wiped away her tears, and said, "Mom is still there, and Pei Youyou is there too. Pei Youyou was about to be beaten to death. They held off Lin Zhengyu so I could escape. Mom was beaten too, they were both beaten..."

"Brother, save Mom, save Mom..." Xing Yuru grabbed her brother's arm, pleading with him to save their mother.

No matter what, she's still their mother!

Xing Yanzhao wasn't that hard-hearted; he told Yu Bosen to take his younger sister away, and he would handle the rest.

Yu Bosen took off his coat and draped it over Xing Yuru, then pulled her into his car.

Xing Yuru looked back every few steps, her eyes pleading.

“You have to trust your brother,” Yu Bosen comforted her. “Your sister-in-law and your grandparents are still waiting for you at home.”

Xing Yuru then obediently got into the car.

The car had only been driving for a short while when it passed by Pei Yuanzhou and Officer Qu's car.

……

In the old house.

Luo Huai stood at the door, craning his neck, feeling a tightness in his chest.

She wanted to go along, but she knew she was weak and pregnant, and that going would only cause trouble, so she stayed home and waited.

The two elders are people who have weathered many storms, and they remain calm and composed.

Luo Huai couldn't do it, and Xing Yuru was also her sister, so she got up and went to the door to wait. The two elders didn't try to persuade her, but just told her to put on her coat.

In the dead of night, as the temperature dropped, after waiting for nearly an hour, Luo Huai finally saw light on the asphalt road and heard the sound of a sports car.

Luo Huai stepped out.

The car stopped right in front of her, and Xing Yuru got out unharmed, threw herself into her arms, and cried like a child.

"You're alright, that's great! You scared me to death!" Luo Huai said, her voice trembling with tears, as she gently patted her back. "I shouldn't have let you leave this afternoon."

She had a bad feeling at the time, and suspected that she was just overthinking things, which was why she didn't forbid Xing Yuru from going over.

Xing Yuru felt a chill run through her body; she was terrified.

Luo Huai's hands were also chilled by the wind, but he could warm them up.

Grandpa and Grandma are still waiting for news.

She put her arm around Xing Yuru and led her inside. The two elders didn't sit inside, but waited at the door with worried expressions.

Upon seeing her granddaughter return safely, the old lady immediately reached out to her and felt at ease only after holding her hand.

He didn't let go of Xing Yuru's hand after that.

The old man was cursing and swearing on the side, practically cursing Lin Zhengyu and all of Lin's ancestors for eighteen generations.

In the end, they didn't let the eldest daughter-in-law off the hook either.

"Look at the good son she's protecting! He's even ganging up on his own daughter!"

"Grandpa, Mom, she... I only did this because of Mom..."

"Don't speak up for her!" The old man almost choked again, and Luo Huai quickly handed him water and medicine, telling him to calm down.

The old man said, "Yanzhao, you must not let them get away with this! And don't let Pei Yuanzhou get away with this either! That greedy and treacherous beast!"
