Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin rubbed her forehead tiredly. "What else can I do? In this situation, I can only look at him perfunctorily. Do I have to tell him that I'm actually the owner of that necklace? I might be his..."

Zhao Youlin seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She paused and shut her mouth.

Mu Tingfeng sighed and held Zhao Youlin's hand, not giving her a chance to escape. "Have you ever thought of... telling him the truth?"

Zhao Youlin's expression changed when she heard this, and she immediately lowered her head. She said self-deprecatingly, "Tell him the truth? How can I tell him the truth? Tell him that I'm the owner of that necklace, but I'm already dead, and I've been reborn into this body and become another person. That's why I'm no longer related to him by blood. There's nothing he can do, even if he wants to do a paternity test with me. Are you sure he won't treat me like a lunatic and shoot me along with Lu Shu and Li Yan?"

Zhao Youlin lost control of her emotions and ranted at Mu Tingfeng for a while. Then, she became like a deflated balloon. She said in a hoarse voice, "Besides, we don't know if he's my... just the necklace alone doesn't prove anything."

How could Mu Tingfeng not see the panic and helplessness that Zhao Youlin was hiding under her agitation? He sighed again and grabbed Zhao Youlin's slightly trembling hand. He said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to say it, then don't. But you have to promise me that if he comes after you, you have to tell me immediately. We're husband and wife. We have to bear this responsibility together."

Lu Xiangtian had turned into a raving mad beast. This could be seen from everything that had just transpired. Zhao Youlin had said those things to Lu Xiangtian in the past, and she had intended to make use of him. Now, if Lu Xiangtian came looking for Zhao Youlin, words would no longer stop him. Who knew what Lu Xiangtian would do in a fit of anger?

He could not let Zhao Youlin deal with a wild beast alone, let alone one that had let itself out of its cage.

Zhao Youlin was amused by Mu Tingfeng's serious look. "Don't worry, I won't let myself be at a disadvantage."

Mu Tingfeng did not say anything. It was obvious that he did not like Zhao Youlin's empty promise.

Zhao Youlin took the initiative to move closer and put her head on Mu Tingfeng's shoulder. Mu Tingfeng let out a long sigh. "In order to find out the whereabouts of his own daughter, he has tolerated the antics of Lu Shu, the fake daughter who has lied to him for so many years. I've never done anything to anger him. He... Shouldn't do anything to me."

If that's the case, why do you sound so uncertain? In fact, you know very well that in Lu Xiangtian's heart, after what Lu Shu did, lying to him for so many years and staying by his side as his daughter for so many years, he is not going to listen to reason or get trapped into long debates.

Mu Tingfeng knew exactly what Zhao Youlin was thinking, but he wasn't willing to reveal it directly. His instincts told him that it was too cruel to tell Zhao Youlin this now.

The two of them hugged each other tightly in the narrow car without saying a word. Birds chirped on the branches outside the car, but it didn't give anything to improve the moods of the two people in the car.

At the same time, Li Yan and Lu Shu, who had been dragged into the small black room of the Lu family by a few bodyguards in black, felt an unspeakable fear after experiencing the initial shock and fear, they were also at a loss and afraid of the future.

Lu Shu looked at the room that was tightly shut in all directions like a prison cell and felt a chill run down her spine.

She knew that this was the place that Lu Xiangtian used to imprison and deal with the traitors in the gang. Before this, who knew how many people had died in this room, but now that she was the one being imprisoned... Would she still have a chance to escape from this place? Or would this place become her final resting place, like those traitors, and remain in this room until she died?

Lu Shu's expression turned even uglier when she thought about it. She suddenly realized that if she died, no one would care at all. No one would care. If she died, her life would be over... she would get nothing, and no one would remember her. This was exactly what she could not bear.

Just as Lu Shu was about to go crazy from all the thoughts in her mind, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside her, and it was like a clear stream of water that extinguished the unwillingness in her heart.

"Lu Shu, are you alright? Hey, Lu Shu, can you hear me?"

Lu Shu raised her head with tears in her eyes. She met Li Yan's eyes, that were filled with worry. She was stunned for a moment, but when she realized what was happening, her eyes reddened even more.

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. I knew you still cared about me. Sob, sob, sob... Brother Yan, I'm so scared, I'm so scared, I'm so scared that I'm going to die just like this. I'm so scared that I didn't do anything and died for no reason. Brother Yan, can you please save me? Save me?"

Lu Shu suddenly pounced on Li Yan, giving him a fright. He reflexively reached out to push Lu Shu away, but when he heard Lu Shu's hysterical screams, his hand paused. In the end, he still relented and did not push her out. Instead, he patted Lu Shu's shoulder and clumsily comforted her, "I'm here, I'm here. Don't be afraid, Don't be afraid."

It would have been better if Li Yan hadn't comforted her, but Lu Shu wanted to cling to him all the more now. She used all her limbs and wished that she could hang on to him like an octopus.

"Brother Yan, you're the best. I knew you wouldn't leave me alone. You won't let me face this alone. You'll help me, won't you?"

Li Yan was pinned down by Lu Shu and couldn't move at all. He wanted to distance himself from Lu Shu just like before, but he was afraid that if he spoke too harshly, it would agitate Lu Shu and he would be locked up with another wild beast.

After a long time, Li Yan could only try to pull Lu Shu's hands away from his body and coax her in a low voice. "Alright, alright. If you have anything to say, can you let go of me first? I'm almost out of breath."

It was only then that Lu Shu realized that she had overreacted. She clung onto Li Yan's body and blushed. Lu Shu reluctantly let go of Li Yan, but immediately reached out to hold Li Yan's hand, at the same time, she looked pitifully at Li Yan with a pair of tearful eyes, as if saying that this was her biggest compromise.

Li Yan sighed and did not pull his hand back. Instead, he asked directly, "What's going on between you and Mr. Lu? Why did you..."

When Lu Shu heard Li Yan take the initiative to ask about this, her face turned pale again. She stammered, "It's... It's what you saw. I... I'm not Lu Xiangtian's daughter."
