I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 108: Jing Ruo's Revenge
Through this person's source, Jing Ruo learns that the top person on the assassin list is K. He hears from his friend about K's abilities; he is tidy in his duties and his existence is mysterious. In short, no one would know he was involved once the task was completed.
Anyone who makes his eldest brother unhappy should be killed. Mu Mingcheng, Gu Jin, and Cheng Xin – none of them could escape.
And Cheng Xin, this cunning fox, dared to seduce her elder brother halfheartedly. It was too futile to kill him directly. It was better to take out a knife and cut the flesh from his body piece by piece, slowly torturing him. Besides, isn't Cheng Xin happy to be surrounded by men? He will satisfy his desire.
As for the remaining two, Mu Mingcheng was too cautious and his daily existence was well hidden. Even the cars used have been modified, making it difficult to lead anywhere. Gu Jin's existence was well managed under Mu Mingcheng's protection, so starting with them was difficult.
Jing Ruo felt unwilling under all this pressure. He instructs K to hide for a moment and wait for an opportunity.
Who would have thought that around that time, the legendary Xu family knew of his plan. They went to his door and offered to cooperate while providing important details about Mu Mingcheng's trip: he would travel abroad to Country Y while Gu Jin would follow him.
The great families of the Imperial Capital all knew that the Mu and Xu families had a marital relationship. One focuses on business, the other on politics; they can be said to be the most perfect model for combining government and business. There was a rumor that the Xu family elder, who had once fought in the mountains in the river, was very fond of Mu Mingcheng.
Although Jing Ruo was shocked by the disharmony between Mu and Xu's cousins, if he thought carefully, how many relatives in the Jing family were fighting over Jing's property? If so, how much more conflict would there be between the cousins between the two families?
It was in their best interest to kill Mu Mincheng and Gu Jin together. Jing Ruo was ready to accept their cooperation.
However, his dissatisfaction, Xu Chenghui, the elder of the Xu family, was even more gentle-hearted than a woman. He interfered, saying that Mu Mingcheng was treated as their 'brother' so there was no meaning in pursuing the lives of Mu Mingcheng and Gu Jin. After mocking him, he returned his plan back to her. Jing Ruo was upset. What kind of fraternal affection could the Xu family have with the man?
As she blamed herself, she suddenly heard Old Master Jing speak, saying that Jing Hao should go after Miss Li and marry her. At that moment, it felt like lightning was striking from the clear sky. Jing Ruo tightly squeezed his fist, and his once pure and clear eyes turned dark and murky.
Gu Jin was unaware of the bloody storm surging outside.
He held a wet towel, ready to wipe Mu Mingcheng's body. Her body temperature was very high, so she lay down on the bed and followed the doctor's advice.
It all started yesterday. When she went to take a bath, she accidentally got water into her bandage, causing a wound infection and high fever. It was only after Gu Jin knocked on the door that morning and entered that he discovered something was wrong with his body. At that moment, his consciousness blurred.
Gu Jin hurriedly called out to Assistant Fang, who quickly brought along a young doctor in a white suit.
The doctor is very experienced. He skillfully cleaned his wound and replaced Mu Mingcheng's bandage. After which, Assistant Fang deliberately had the servants leave the room before turning to Gu Jin, his eyes filled with deep trust. Gu Jin had no choice but to help.
Returning to the bed, Mu Mingcheng closed his eyes tightly. His face was extremely red, and under the thin blanket, there was a thin layer of sweat.
Gu Jin sighed and pulled his blanket over a bit…
