Chapter 3108: With the Precedent of ‘Gong Rong’ as a Female

This injury in particular had worsened Gong Rong’s condition.

Ning Shu coldly withdrew her spiritual consciousness.

Gong Rong was probably wearing women’s clothing for the sake of his younger sister. As the heir of a conglomerate, if people found out he was ill and wouldn’t live to a natural end, the consequences could be disastrous. Better to have claimed from the start that he was a girl. With the precedent of ‘Gong Rong’ as a female, it would make things easier for Gong Fu to take over the company.

Ning Shu curled her lip. She didn’t feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Gong Rong.

Her own situation was already wretched enough. She didn’t have any extra compassion to spare for someone who had helped cause her current misery.

Gong Rong and Gong Fu’s core family consisted of only them, but they also had uncles and cousins eyeing the family assets like hungry wolves.

Ning Shu gave a faint smirk. Money could get you into exclusive circles, sure, but what good was it when you were dead?

After a whole night of tossing and turning, Gong Rong finally broke his fever. His pale face now carried an unhealthy flush.

When Gong Rong woke up, his expression was miserable.

As he drank spoonfuls from the ladle, Gong Rong looked at her and asked, “Don’t you hate me? Then why…”

“Why am I still taking care of you, right?” Ning Shu cut in calmly. Because she wanted to see him in so much pain his heart felt like it’d been ripped out.

Gong Rong nodded. “Why?”

“Because I don’t want to be charged with murder,” Ning Shu said flatly. “You people can play with lives and kill without a care, but I can’t.”

She scooped another spoonful of warm water and brought it to his lips.

“Kidnapper. Murderer. That stain is going to follow me for the rest of my life. Are you proud of yourself? Do you feel smug, thinking I’m powerless against you?” Her voice remained steady as she spoke.

Gong Rong narrowed his eyes but said nothing.

“You’re not going back to the Gong family?” she asked.

Gong Rong shook his head. “I’m already a dead man. I won’t cause trouble for Fu’er.”

Ning Shu threw the rest of the water in the cup right onto his face. Gong Rong froze, stunned.

She set the cup down and took some tissues to wipe his face. Her tone was still calm as she said, “You really piss me off.”

Gong Rong: …

He’d never seen such a temperamental woman. You could never predict what she’d do next.

“Do you still want water?” Ning Shu asked.

Gong Rong shook his head.

Eventually, Mother Xu still found out what had happened with Ning Shu. After all, she had gone out to buy things and there were TVs and wanted posters out there. It didn’t take much to connect the dots.

Mother Xu’s face was ashen when she returned. She immediately grabbed Ning Shu’s hand and said, “How could you do such a thing!?

“What are we going to do now? Oh my god…” Mother Xu collapsed to the ground, completely shaken. No wonder her daughter had kept warning her to be careful.

She’d thought it was just because of that injured man. Turned out this was the real reason.

Ning Shu reached out and helped Mother Xu up. Mother Xu started hitting her. “How could you do this? How did I raise you?”

Her fists weren’t heavy, but she was clearly losing it.

Ning Shu sighed inwardly and hugged Mother Xu tightly. She placed a hand on her back, infusing a trace of spiritual energy into her. Once again, all the spiritual energy in her dantian was gone.

She had only fiery yang energy now. That kind of force was destructive, with no ability to nourish the body.

Mother Xu cried in restraint for a while before gradually calming down. While wiping her tears, she looked at Ning Shu and asked, “What exactly happened?”

Ning Shu glanced over at Gong Rong, then laid everything out.

She told her everything—how she’d agreed to join a dangerous game for ten million yuan, how she’d ended up kidnapping Gong Rong—every last detail.

By the time she finished, her throat was dry. She took a sip of water and said, “That’s how it all went down.”

Mother Xu stared at her with eyes that were wide and dazed. She murmured, “What kind of beasts would do something like this…? Those Gong family people are monsters. Beasts!”

Ning Shu looked at Gong Rong as the corners of her lips lifted faintly. “Aren’t they just?”
