Ming Zhi Rou's expression gradually turned ferocious.
"I did nothing wrong! They forced me to do all this! I just don't want to be their sacrifice, I'm just looking for a way out!"
She clenched her fists tightly, pressing them against her chest.
She was in the right.
Every man for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him.
She just wanted a better future for herself.
After all, they no longer considered her a member of the Ming family.
Then she had no need to care about so-called familial affection!
Ming Zhi Rou took a deep breath.
She patted the bag on her back again, then lifted her steps and left the balcony.
This clearly meant she was heading to the "old place" that Mr. Wang had mentioned, as agreed.
This meant...
Ming Zhi Rou and Mr. Wang were not meeting for the first time.
Ming Yan Lun clenched his fist and slammed it onto the computer desk with a "bang." He got up, about to rush out of the computer room.
"Sit down."
A cold voice, carrying an undeniable command that brooked no resistance.
Ming Yan Lun's feet felt as if they were pressed down by thousands of pounds of rock, rendering him unable to move.
He braced himself on the desk, veins bulging on his forehead. "Do you really intend to let her take the Ming family's core data?"
That USB drive was fake.
It was only to make a bet with Ming Zheng.
And only to see Ming Zhi Rou's true colors.
However, the core files that Ming Zhi Rou took were real!
"Let her take it," Ming Zheng said lightly. "If you stop her now, you'll only delay it for a moment, and the people behind it will still be there."
She paused, her voice tinged with mockery. "If you alert the enemy, it will be very difficult to catch the people behind it."
Ming Yan Lun pressed his hands on the desk, gritting his teeth in anger. "But... but those are the Ming family's core files... If they really fall into the opponent's hands..."
"I won't let Ming Zhi Rou succeed," Ming Zheng's voice was clear and cold. "Don't disrupt my plan, understand?"
Ming Yan Lun: "..."
He looked at the screen, where Ming Zhi Rou had completely disappeared from the third floor.
Then he looked back at the screen, which had returned to displaying the surveillance footage pieced together.
It was clear that Ming Zhi Rou had gone straight down to the first floor, preparing to leave the Ming family.
He clenched his fists.
Then, with a "swish," he rushed out of the computer room. kanShu Wu.xià

Apartment.
Chi Xian's long fingers gently stroked Ming Zheng's waist. "Zheng Bao, your dissuasion was useless. He still couldn't hold back and is going to find that woman to settle the score."
Ming Zheng slapped the back of his hand.
But it couldn't stop the man's intrusive hand.
Instead, it made him bolder, his fingertips tracing past the thin, loose pajamas to touch her skin.
That tingling sensation traveled upwards from her waist.
Ming Zheng couldn't help but tremble.
She turned off the voice connection with Ming Yan Lun's phone and glared fiercely at the man. "He's not that stupid!"
Her tone was fierce.
It certainly wasn't to defend Ming Yan Lun.
It was because the clingy man's actions had exceeded her tolerance.
Her fierce gaze seemed to say, "Touch me again! Touch me one more time, and I'll break your hand!"
Chi Xian's eyes were filled with a smile. He stopped moving his hands, keeping them pressed against the inch of delicate, soft skin at her waist. "You said it so clearly, yet he still went to alert the enemy?"
"Because I said it so clearly, he's not an idiot," Ming Zheng directly reached out, pulled the man's hand, which was trying to take liberties with her, out from under her pajamas, and tossed it aside.
Then she rolled over and got up.
"I should also get ready to welcome Ming Zhi Rou."
Chi Xian: "..."
His hand, which had been around Ming Zheng's waist, found only air. kanShu Le
The rich and soft warmth was gone.
His heart also felt empty.
He really wanted to howl "ahhh."
He just wanted to be close to the woman he liked!
Unromantic Zheng Bao!
Chi Xian was huffing in anger.
But Ming Zheng had already patted her behind and gone to "play" with Ming Zhi Rou.
Chi Xian: "..."
She couldn't see him even if he was angry.
Let her go live with Ming Zhi Rou!
Although he grumbled in his heart.
Chi Xian's body was incredibly honest. He pitter-pattered and followed along, eager to join the excitement.
-
Ming Family.
After Ming Yan Lun rushed out of the computer room, he quickly went downstairs to the first floor.
Ming Zhi Rou was talking with their mother.
He breathed a sigh of relief, calmed his breathing, and then slowly walked out from the stairs.
Casually, he glanced at the bag on Ming Zhi Rou's shoulder. "What? Are you going out?"
Since the Yin Yang Mountain incident.
Ming Yan Lun's attitude towards Ming Zhi Rou had clearly become much cooler.
He rarely spoke to Ming Zhi Rou proactively.
This question.
Ming Zhi Rou felt inexplicably nervous.
She instinctively protected the bag on her shoulder and smiled, "Yes... I want to go out for a walk."
"In the Ming family's current situation, if you go out, you'll only be a laughingstock," Ming Yan Lun walked forward and reached out towards Ming Zhi Rou. "Stay at home. If you hear unpleasant words outside, you'll be very upset."
Ming Zhi Rou flinched back in fear.
This step back was a bit too hasty.
She bumped hard into their mother.
Both of them fell onto the sofa.
Ming Zhi Rou clutched her bag tightly, her eyes filled with panic as she looked at Ming Yan Lun.
Ming Yan Lun didn't look at her. Instead, he bent down and helped their mother sit up properly.
Their mother's hair was disheveled from the fall, and she couldn't tidy it. A hint of displeasure appeared on her face. "What's wrong with you? You're overreacting! Anyone would think you stole something from the house and felt guilty!"
This was just a casual remark from their mother.
The more she said it, the more nervous Ming Zhi Rou became.
"I, I didn't... it's just that Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother suddenly reached out, I thought Fifth Brother... Fifth Brother was blaming me for bringing the Ming family to this state..."
Ming Zhi Rou's voice became stammering.
Her tone was clearly strained.
Her breathing was erratic with nervousness.
She clenched her fingers so tightly that they almost drew blood.
Ming Yan Lun took in all her emotions.
A hint of disappointment and self-mockery flickered in his eyes.
He had originally wanted to give Ming Zhi Rou a chance.
As long as Ming Zhi Rou gave up her current intentions before leaving the Ming family.
He could pretend that nothing had happened.
He could also pretend that he hadn't seen anything on the surveillance.
Ming Zhi Rou was still their Ming family child.
He wanted to give Ming Zhi Rou one last chance.
To let her return from her misguided path.
But...
Ming Zhi Rou clearly didn't need this chance.
Her decision was not going to change because of it.
Moreover, because of her ambiguous words.
It was as if his reaching out was meant to hit her.
Their mother glared at him.
As if he often hit Ming Zhi Rou.
"I just saw that Rou'er's hair was messy and wanted to tidy it for you," Ming Yan Lun withdrew his hand, a pained expression appearing on his face. "I've always doted on you, so how could I bear to hit you?"
