Chapter 911: 911 Just Wait to Go to Prison
....
“Tan Ron, no matter what, I’ve nurtured you for more than ten years. If it weren’t for me, would you have achieved what you have today?” Xin changed his words. “Although some unpleasant things happened later, my education has been helpful to you. Shouldn’t you repay my kindness?”
“If you think that not feeding a four-year-old child and locking her in a dark room for a day and night is considered a favor, then 1 have nothing to say.” Tan Rou said, “1 can repay your kindness, but I want to repay you in the same way. Why don’t you pack your luggage and come with me today? I’ll arrange a place for you to stay.”
Xin did not understand what she meant. “Where are you taking me?”
“I’ll arrange for you to stay where you told me to stay,” replied Tan Rou.
Shink was furious. “Tan Rou, haven’t I treated you well enough? When we were in the laboratory, all the good things were yours to use. Every time there was a new project, I arranged it for you. Shouldn’t you be grateful instead?!”
“Grateful? Of course I am! If it wasn’t for the fact that something happened to me in the end, I really wouldn’t have been able to see through your true colors!” Tan Rou said through gritted teeth.
Tan Rou was furious at the thought of what had happened back then. She had suffered so much to achieve those achievements, but because of someone else’s framing, not only did she lose everything, but she was also sent back to the Tan family to continue being tortured. Moreover, all her achievements had been stolen.
“Don’t you know what Liu Xing and the others did to me?” Tan Rou asked.
Xin would never tell the truth. He said, “I really don’t know about that. If I had known that Liu Xing would be ruthless to you, I would have stopped her.” “What happened after that?” Tan Rou was angry because of what Liu Xing and Zhu Sheng did after the machine accident. “Why didn’t you show up when they tampered with my memory?”
“This…” Xin thought for a while and then said sadly, “I didn’t expect them to tamper with your memory. It was indeed my negligence.”
“Is that so? You installed so many surveillance cameras in the laboratory just to admire other people’s naked bodies?” Tan Rou sneered.
Xin’s face turned pale. “What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever seen someone naked?”
Tan Rou shook her head slightly. “If you’re so capable, you can reveal your computer to the public. Let others see what you’ve hidden in your computer.”
Tan Rou had originally asked Hang Wei to look for the surveillance footage, but she did not expect Hang Wei to find something unexpected. He found many photos and videos of naked people on Xin’s computer. Those people were called to his room by Xin Ke, and Xin Ke would take photos of them naked to threaten them.
There were also videos recorded by surveillance cameras. The videos were unsightly. There wasn’t only one video, there was a complete file of it.
After Hang Wei handed the evidence to Tan Rou, she took the time to look for it again. Fortunately, she did not find any videos of her.
Xin’s expression was very ugly. “What do you want?”
Tan Rou found it funny. “I don’t want to do anything. I just want to quietly watch you guys receive the punishment you deserve. 1 won’t let Liu Xing off, and I won’t let you off either. So, just wait to go to jail!”
With that, Tan Rou left the principal’s office without looking back. What a waste of her time. If she had known that she would see Zhu Sheng and Xin today, Tan Rou would not have come.
Principal Zhang was also very angry. When these people contacted him, they said that they were here to see an old friend, but now, they were here to force Tan Rou to drop the lawsuit. Principal Zhang regretted asking Tan Rou to come over.
“Professors, you should have finished speaking. In order not to affect the normal teaching order of our school, you should leave first.” Principal Zhang’s face was cold. “1 have other work to do, so I won’t be sending you out.”
Zhu Sheng was still unwilling to leave. He turned to Xin and said, “Guild Leader Xin, didn’t you say that you were going to help me convince Tan Rou? Now that she’s gone, what should we do?”
Xin was in a bad mood as well. Damn Tan Rou. With the Tao family and the Zhuang family backing her up, she was even more unyielding.. If she had died back then, she wouldn’t have caused so much trouble!
Chapter 912: 912 Can Wait
....
“How would I know what to do?” Xin scolded, “You’re the one who made a fool of yourself. You insisted on cooperating with that wretched girl Liu Xing. You’ve caused trouble yourself, and you still want me to help you solve it? Dream on!”
Zhu Sheng said fearfully, “Guild Leader Xin, you must help me. I’ve done so much for you back then. You can’t just give up on me like that!”
Xin ignored him. “Old Zhu, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I can’t help you this time! No matter what, I don’t have the ability to challenge the Tao family!”
Principal Zhang’s office was not for these people to quarrel. He used the dignity of a principal and chased these big shots out.
After that day, the people from the other side kept harassing Tan Rou. They either asked her to return to the laboratory or asked her to withdraw the lawsuit. Tan Rou ignored them and took out a lot of evidence to hand over to the judge, hoping to send Liu Xing and the others to prison as soon as possible.
Finally, it was the day of the court session. Tan Rou saw the haggard Liu Xing in the court. She was not wearing a blue dress today, but an orange prison uniform. Liu Xing, who was trapped in the defendant’s seat, seemed to have aged a lot. Wrinkles appeared on her face, and her hair was much whiter.
After seeing Tan Rou, Liu Xing’s lifeless eyes finally showed some reaction. She stood up from the defendant’s seat and planned to rush to Tan Rou. “Tan Rou, please let me go. 1 know my mistakes now. 1 will never plagiarize your works again, and 1 will never hurt you again. Please don’t sue me again!”
Her eyes were red from crying, but Tan Rou remained motionless in the plaintiff’s seat as if she did not hear her.
“Silence, silence!” The judge slammed the table a few times and shouted, “Defendant, calm down. Don’t make a racket in court.”
Liu Xing couldn’t be quiet. She was going to go to jail soon. How could she be quiet?
“Tan Rou, please let me go. As long as you let me go, I’ll give you no matter how much money you want! We’ve known each other for so many years. Do you have the heart to let me go to jail?” Liu Xing wailed.
Tan Rou finally reacted. She said with a faint smile, “Defendant, please be quiet. 1 can’t hear the judge reading the verdict.”
Liu Xing grabbed the guardrails of the defendant’s seat with both hands. “Tan Rou!”
In the end, Liu Xing was sentenced to life imprisonment and all his property was confiscated. Ying Xian was reported by Liu Xing and sentenced to ten years in prison with all his assets confiscated.
Zhu Sheng was just at the age to be sentenced. He was sentenced to five years in prison and fined 100,000 yuan for attempted murder.
A fine was not a big deal to Zhu Sheng, but a five-year prison sentence was very difficult for him. He was older, and he worked with computers all his life. He was already an old man, he wouldn’t have been able to survive life in prison.
Liu Xing refused to accept this and requested to appeal. Unfortunately, the second trial still upheld the original verdict.
Tan Rou looked at the thin woman in front of her. “You didn’t think that you would end up like this when you harmed me, did you?”
Liu Xing stared at Tan Rou with her deep eyes and said fiercely, “Tan Rou, 1 won’t let you off!”
Tan Rou smiled. “You’ve already been sentenced to life imprisonment. What else can you do to me?”
“I won’t let you off!” Liu Xing shouted crazily.
Tan Rou replied, “Alright, I’ll wait for you then. I’d like to see what you can do to me.”
Liu Xing was taken away. Tan Rou watched her leave, feeling a little uneasy. Liu Xing had alerady been sentenced, so why was her eyelid still twitching? Was there anything that she hadn’t considered?
She turned around and saw Xin standing not far away from her. In Liu Xing’s case, Xin, the person in charge of the laboratory, was perfectly invisible. As long as he said ‘I don’t know’, even the judge could not do anything to him.
“You won.” Xin said with a smile.
Tan Rou stood opposite him and smiled. “Yeah, 1 won this battle.”
“I hope you can keep this up,” Xin left after saying so.
Tan Rou frowned. Xin was not an easy person to deal with. If it wasn’t for the Tao family’s status, he would have attacked her long ago. He had suffered heavy losses this time, so he would not let it go easily. He still had to be careful of this person..
Chapter 913: 913 Get engaged
....
Four months passed in the blink of an eye. Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu finally welcomed the day of their engagement. They chose a good day and it was a sunny day, under the witness of relatives and friends, they made a public agreement to get married.
“Wow, Rourou, your engagement dress is so beautiful!” Li Li really wanted to touch Tan Ron’s dress, but she didn’t dare to. This dress was worth eight figures. What if she touched it and ruined it?
Tan Rou saw through Li Ke’s thoughts and said generously, “Don’t worry. This dress isn’t made of paper. It won’t break.”
After getting Tan Rou’s permission, Li Li immediately washed her hands and dried them before touching the moon-white gemstone dress.
“It’s so beautiful! It’s also very soft to the touch, just like touching milk. I also want to wear such a dress for the engagement,” Li Li said enviously.
“You can ask your boyfriend to buy it for you,” Liang Lu said.
“I don’t have a boyfriend!” Li Li cried. You guys are all in pairs.
“Rourou has Brother Zhuang Liu, Tiantian has Brother Tao Zhi, you and Lu Qing, even the class monitor has someone who likes you, but I’m still alone. It’s so sad!”
Lan Ning saw Li Li’s sadness and quickly said, “Li Li, don’t be too sad. I don’t have a boyfriend either!”
Li Li pursed her lips. “What do you mean you don’t have a boyfriend? You’re not willing to find a boyfriend at all! How could you have the chance to find a boyfriend if you have so many books to read every day? Last time, a senior confessed to you, but you rejected him immediately. You even said that you had to study hard and wouldn’t consider finding a boyfriend. All of a sudden, you cut off all the thoughts dating someone.”
“What kind of boyfriend are you looking for?” Tan Rou asked.
“Handsome! It’s best if he’s as gentle as Brother Tao Zhi, as outstanding as Brother Zhuang Liu, and as financially capable as Lu Qing,” Li Li said.
“Then you should continue to be single,” Liang Lu said.
Tan Rou smiled. “There will be a lot of people at the engagement party today. See if there’s anyone you like.”
“Xiao Rou, you know me the best!” Li Li said happily.
She was in a hurry to go outside and see the handsome guys, so she dragged Lan Ning away. “Lan Ning, we’re not going with these people who have boyfriends. Let’s go outside and see the handsome guys.”
Lan Ning didn’t want to go. She just wanted to sit quietly in the dressing room and stare blankly. She didn’t want to see handsome men. However, seeing how happy Li Li was, she felt that she should accompany her to play.
After Li Li left, Zhuang Liu came in. When he saw his beautiful fiancee, he smiled so widely that his eyes almost disappeared.
“Xiao Rou, you’re so beautiful!” Zhuang Liu said with a smile.
Tan Rou blushed. “You look very handsome today too.”
“Let’s go out first,” Liang Lu quietly pulled Tian Tian’s hand and whispered into her ear.
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were the only ones left in the dressing room. They looked at each other as if they were the only ones left in the world.
“I want to kiss you, but I’m afraid I’ll ruin your makeup.” Zhuang Liu said.
“There’s a kiss scheduled for today’s engagement ceremony. You can kiss me then,” Tan Rou said.
Zhuang Liu stroked Tan Rou’s hair and said in disbelief, “Are we really getting engaged?”
“Yes, we’re getting engaged,” Tan Rou answered as she grabbed his hand.
It took them two years to get engaged. In these two years, they had experienced many things. Every time something happened, their relationship would heat up.
“Is it time?” Tan Rou’s watch had been taken away, and she couldn’t put her phone in her dress, so she didn’t know what time it was.
“There’s still half an hour left. They’ll call us out when it’s time,” Zhuang Liu replied.
The two of them sat side by side on the chair, head to head, hand in hand, quietly sitting there.
Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence. Zhuang Liu quickly took out his phone from his suit pocket and muted it.
“I forgot to mute it.” Zhuang Liu said.
Tan Rou glanced at the screen. “A call from Xiao Mo? Hurry up and answer it.”
Zhuang Liu answered the call and pressed the speaker button. There was no secret between him and Tan Rou..
Chapter 914: 914 Something Bad
....
Xiao Mo’s tone was very anxious. “Master, something bad has happened. Liu Xing has been released from prison!” He had just received news from the prison that someone had released Liu Xing. He thought that it was a joke and had sent someone to investigate. He did not expect Liu Xing to really not be in the women’s prison.
“Who let her out?” Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu looked at each other.
Xiao Mo did not find out who had released Liu Xing. He only knew that Liu Xing had been released for three days and had disappeared as soon as she left the prison. He still had not found out where Liu Xing was.
“So Liu Xing didn’t say anything ruthless at that time. She was informing me ahead of time.” Tan Rou said jokingly, “She’s quite capable. She actually managed to get herself out of prison. She’s amazing! I’ve underestimated her.”
“Liu Xing’s biggest backing is the country. She has done something illegal, and the country has long given up on her. She can’t save herself. There must be someone else helping her behind her back,” Zhuang Liu said.
“Liu Xing will come and ruin the engagement ceremony,” Xiao Mo asked worriedly. “Should we cancel today’s engagement ceremony?”
Zhuang Liu looked at Tan Rou. If Tan Rou wanted to cancel the ceremony, he would deal with it immediately. If Tan Rou insisted on finishing the ceremony, he would accompany her to the end.
“No need. If she comes, I’ll make sure she walks out of this place alive.” Tan Rou said casually.
Zhuang Liu grabbed her hand tightly. “Rourou, I’ll deal with it with you.”
Tan Rou nodded. “Don’t tell my parents about this yet. Liu Xing’s target is me. She wouldn’t hurt them. Arrange for bodyguards to come in first and have them dress up as waiters to protect the guests when necessary.”
“Yes, Miss Tan Rou,” Xiao Mo replied.
“Strictly check the identity of the guests. I suspect that Liu Xing has already snuck in.” Tan Rou added.
There were many people here today. If Liu Xing were to mix in with the guests, it would be very difficult to be discovered.
Zhuang Liu added, “Tune the surveillance cameras inside and outside the venue. Once Liu Xing appears, we can’t let her disappear from the surveillance cameras.”
Xiao Mo followed Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu’s instructions.
In the hall, Liu Xing sat in a corner. She was very excited. Firstly, she had finally come out of that damned place. Secondly, she was about to meet her enemy, Tan Rou.
She had been locked up in prison for three months. During these three months, she couldn’t sleep at night. Whenever she fell asleep, she would dream of stepping on the sewing machine to make curtains. When she dreamed, she would wake up with a start and stay awake until dawn.
After daybreak, Liu Xing would fight with seven or eight women for the unpalatable food and then work for twelve hours. His job was still to step on the sewing machine to make curtains, so Liu Xing’s head hurt when he heard the sound of the machine turning.
Now that she had finally come out of that damned place, although she did not know who had let her out, as long as she could come out, there was no need to think so much.
The person who let her out had only one request. He wanted her to kill Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, and he had to kill them during their engagement ceremony. If he couldn’t kill two, he would just kill one.
This request was the same as Liu Xing’s. The first thing she did after coming out was to kill Tan Rou, so she readily agreed to his request.
The other party had also promised her that if she could complete the mission, he would provide her with a new identity and a large sum of money so that she could live without worries for the rest of her life.
Liu Xing took the gun from the designated location. Then, she took advantage of the hotel’s recruitment opportunity to sneak in. After hiding here for three days, she finally met Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu.
“Tan Rou… I want your engagement day to be your death anniversary,” Liu Xing smiled sinisterly.
Tan Rou changed out of the luxurious dress that was worth eight figures and into a knee-length skirt. This was also a dress that she planned to change into after the ceremony.
“This military saber is for you to protect yourself.” Zhuang Liu found a 10-meter-long foldable military knife. “Hide it under my skirt first. If Liu Xing appears, you can use it to kill her.”
Tan Rou took the foldable military knife and stuffed it into the leather buckle on her thigh; next to her special silver needle, which was specially used as a weapon..
Chapter 915: 915 The Engagement Ceremony Continues
....
Zhuang Liu took out a very small pistol with only three bullets in it. “This is for your self-defense. If you find Liu Xing, shoot with the gun first. If you miss, then fight in close combat.”
Tan Rou placed the pistol on her other leg. Fortunately, her skirt was rather fluffy. Even if she had hidden several weapons, it would not be obvious from the outside.
“Let’s go. Don’t make the guests wait.” Tan Rou said with a smile.
Zhuang Liu said, “If Liu Xing appears, don’t go head-on with her. Our people are around. They will protect you.”
Tan Rou shook her head and said, “Ah Liu, this is a fight between Liu Xing and me. Don’t interfere. 1 will deal with her.”
Zhuang Liu was very worried about Tan Ron’s safety. “Rourou, I know you’re very powerful, but I’m very worried about your safety. If something happens to you, what will happen to me?”
“Nothing will happen to me.” Tan Rou patted the weapons on her lap. “Didn’t you give me all these weapons already?”
Zhuang Liu was still very nervous. “Rourou…”
“All Liu,” Tan Rou interrupted him. “If 1 can’t deal with Liu Xing today, she’ll come and cause trouble again in the future. I don’t want to be threatened by her when I get married. Moreover, I still have a score to settle with Liu Xing. I haven’t taken revenge for her turning me into an idiot. Today is a good time to take revenge. 1 won’t give up.”
Zhuang Liu sighed. “Alright, go and take revenge on Liu Xing. I’ll protect you from behind.”
Tan Rou reached out and hugged Zhuang Liu. “Ah Liu, thank you for understanding me.”
Zhuang Liu smiled. “I’m your fiance. How can 1 not understand you?”
After getting ready, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu left together. The emcee on stage smiled and greeted them, but they felt that something was wrong.
“Ah Liu, the host has been replaced. Be careful,” Tan Rou whispered to Zhuang Liu.
Zhuang Liu also realized that this host was not the one they had arranged. “Could he be Liu Xing in disguise?”
Tan Rou said, “Liu Xing doesn’t have the ability to disguise herself. The host’s height doesn’t match her either. It shouldn’t be her.”
“Alright, then we’ll pay more attention.” Zhuang Liu.
The emcee on the stage still had a smile on his face as he began to host today’s proceedings. However, the questions he asked became more and more specific, as if he wanted to investigate Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu’s background.
“I heard that Miss Tan Rou knows medicine. Is that true? May 1 ask who taught you medical skills?” asked the host.
“You’re not even twenty years old yet. Why do you have such good medical skills?”
“Sir, this question doesn’t seem to have anything to do with today’s engagement ceremony, right?” Tan Rou frowned slightly and replied.
“And why would this question appear on your cue board? We didn’t arrange this, did we?”
The host still had the same smile on his face. “Miss Tan Rou, we’re just curious. Besides, there should be a lot of guests today who are curious about this, right?”
“You said 1 know medicine. May 1 ask who told you that?” Tan Rou asked.
This time, it was the host’s turn to be unable to answer. “This… 1 heard it from someone else. I don’t remember who told me specifically. Miss Tan Rou, everyone is curious. Why don’t you tell us more about it?”
Zhuang Liu looked at the host coldly. “I can answer you. Come and ask me.”
The emcee was very happy. He immediately took the microphone and asked Zhuang Liu, “Please go ahead!”
Zhuang Liu smiled and replied, “Rourou’s medical skills are self-taught. She often practices on others, and her favorite practice partner is the host who likes to ask nonsense. When you go down later, remember to come and find us. We can let you experience the process of practicing medical skills.”
His answer made the audience below the stage laugh. Many people thought that this was a show that they had specially arranged. Only the people from the Tao family and the Zhuang family knew that Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou seemed to have been angered.
The emcee felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly ended the topic and began the engagement ceremony.
Without the host’s interference, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu quickly exchanged their engagement rings. Under the recording of the cameras and flashes, they began to kiss each other. However, just as their kiss ended, the host on stage suddenly raised his microphone at them, as if he wanted to smash them..
Chapter 916: 916 Duel
....
Tan Ron and Zhuang Liu had been on guard against this host for a long time. When the host smashed the microphone at them, the audience shouted to remind them, so they immediately reacted.
Zhuang Liu pulled Tan Rou over and dodged to the side. Then, he turned around and kicked the emcee in the chest, sending him off the stage.
The host immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Tan Rou looked down at the emcee who had fallen to the ground. Then, she said loudly, “Liu Xing, you’re already here. Why haven’t you appeared yet? Could it be that you don’t have the guts to show your face?!”
She was already prepared for Liu Xing to ruin her engagement ceremony. She did not expect Liu Xing to be so patient. She persisted until the exchange of rings and did not appear. Instead, the host could not wait to make the first move. In a dark corner, a woman dressed in black slowly stood up. “I didn’t expect you to find out,” she whispered.
Tan Rou saw the woman standing up. When she realized that it was Liu Xing, she was indeed surprised. Liu Xing was thinner than three months ago. His eyes were dark and his face was pale. He looked like a vampire in a western story.
Zhuang Liu subconsciously stood in front of Tan Rou, but Tan Rou gently pushed him away. “Ah Liu, let me deal with her this time.”
“But…” How could Zhuang Liu let Tan Rou take the risk?
Tan Rou insisted. “Ah Liu, let me deal with her. Quickly evacuate the guests. We can’t let them get hurt.”
“Aren’t you guys looking down on me?” When Liu Xing saw Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu muttering to each other, she felt that she had been neglected. Hence, she quickly rushed to the side of the stage from where she was sitting. “Tan Rou, just wait to die!”
Liu Xing came in with a gun. She was worried that she could not kill Tan Rou with one shot, so she fired close to Tan Rou. However, she underestimated Tan Ron’s speed. Even though she was only seven or eight meters away, she could not hit Tan Rou.
Tan Rou pushed Zhuang Liu away and went forward to fight. She did not use the pistol Zhuang Liu gave her because the bullets in the pistol were not loaded yet. She needed time to deal with the pistol.
“Tan Rou, today is the day you die!” Liu Xing couldn’t hide the smile on her face. It was as if she could already see Tan Rou lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Tan Rou looked at Liu Xing warily, paying close attention to her movements to prevent her from hurting the guests.
Liu Xing took out a gun from her pocket and pointed it at Tan Rou. “Tan Rou,” she said provocatively, “Shall we see how many shots you would be able to withstand?”
Tan Rou wasn’t afraid of her. “I’m guessing you won’t be able to hit me even if you use up all the bullets in your gun.”
When the Tao family saw Liu Xing holding a gun, they were scared out of their wits. Mother Tao wanted to rush up the stage and block Tan Rou, but she was stopped by Father Tao.
“Xiao Rou is currently confronting Liu Xing. If you rush up now, you will disturb Xiao Rou and perhaps even make Liu Xing shoot ahead of time.” Father Tao hugged her tightly. “Calm down. You have to believe in our daughter. She will be able to deal with Liu Xing.”
Mrs. Tao was very upset. “I can’t watch my daughter get hurt!”
Tao Zhi also came over to persuade Mother Tao. “Mom, leave this place with Dad first. We’ll protect our sister.”
“I’ll leave it to you. You must bring your sister back safely,” Father Tao said sternly as he looked at his eldest son.
Tao Zhi said, “That’s right. Dad, Mom, you guys leave with Uncle and Auntie. You must appease the guests today. You must not let the guests get hurt. Leave the rest to us brothers and Zhuang Liu. We will handle it well.”
The other members of the Tao family quickly left the scene. They would only be a burden if they stayed here. It was better to leave as soon as possible and deal with the subsequent public opinion problems.
The people in the venue quickly left, but Liu Xing did not mind at all. She only wanted to kill Tan Rou. She did not care about anyone else.
“I’m very curious who let you out. Is it Xin or someone else?” Tan Rou asked deliberately.
Liu Xing herself did not know who let her out, but she would not tell Tan Rou about this. “It has nothing to do with you who let me out. Besides, I will not answer you because you’re going to be a dead person soon.”
Tan Rou glanced at the bodyguards who were pretending to be waiters.. “Do you think you can leave safely after killing me?”
Chapter 917: 917 Being Used
....
“That’s none of your business,” Liu Xing said with a smile. “Anyways, by then, you’ll already be a corpse lying on the ground.”
Tan Rou touched her skirt and said to Liu Xing, “It seems that you have already thought of a way out. However, you have been staying in prison all this time. Do you really have time to think of a way out?”
Liu Xing did not reply. Tan Rou continued, “The person who let you out must have arranged an escape route for you, right?”
“What does this have to do with you?” Liu Xing lost control of his emotions again.
Zhuang Liu, who was below the stage, became nervous. He raised his pistol and aimed it at Liu Xing. If Liu Xing dared to hurt Tan Rou, he would blow up Liu Xing’s head.
Tan Rou glanced at him and shook her head slightly, telling him not to be rash. She would settle it herself.
Zhuang Liu could only listen to Tan Rou. He knew that this was the knot in Tan Ron’s heart. If he helped Tan Rou get rid of Liu Xing, Tan Rou would definitely be very upset.
Tan Rou continued to provoke Liu Xing. “If you were smarter, you would have gone back to prison right now. Although there’s no freedom in prison, there’s food, drink, sleep, and sewing machines to step on. What a rich life!”
Liu Xing couldn’t hold it in any longer when she thought of stepping on a sewing machine in prison. She pulled the trigger. “Tan Rou, go to hell!”
Tan Rou was already prepared. She flipped in the air and dodged the bullet before it hit her. Then, she shot out the thick silver needle that she had prepared and hit Liu Xing’s left shoulder.
Liu Xing staggered, but she was not affected by the silver needles. She continued to shoot at Tan Rou. Tan Rou dodged the bullets as she approached Liu Xing. She threw out the silver needles to distract Liu Xing. When she was done, she also approached Liu Xing.
Liu Xing’s eyes widened. She did not expect Tan Rou to be so agile that she could dodge all the bullets! Back when they were in the laboratory, Tan Rou was no match for her. Every time she trained, Tan Rou would be beaten up badly by her. However, Tan Rou had surpassed her in just a few years.
Tan Rou seized the opportunity. The moment Liu Xing fired the bullet, she kicked away the gun in Liu Xing’s hand and pressed him to the ground.
“How is that possible?” Liu Xing couldn’t believe it. How could Tan Rou beat her?
“You haven’t practiced for a long time, have you?” Tan Rou smiled and asked, “I heard that the jobs in the women’s prison are either making plastic flowers or sewing curtains. I don’t think you have time to train your skills.”
Liu Xing struggled with all her might. “Let go of me. If you have the ability, let’s have a fair fight!”
“Isn’t that fair enough? You’re using a fast gun,” Tan Rou said mockingly. “I’m indeed using tiny silver needles. To you, this is already very fair.”
Tan Rou pressed Liu Xing’s left shoulder onto the ground, right on the side where she was injured. Liu Xing’s face turned pale from the pain. “Damn it, let go of me!”
“You lost.” Tan Rou said coldly.
Liu Xing could not stand the word ‘lose’. She shouted, “I haven’t lost yet. As long as I’m not dead, I haven’t lost!”
Tan Rou clicked her tongue and said, “You’re really stupid. You’re being used by others, yet you’re still happily working for them. If you die here today, do you think that person will be sad for you?”
Liu Xing hesitated for a moment, but then she scolded, “B*tch, you forced me to this point. If it wasn’t for you, I would still be the youngest scientist in the country!”
Tan Rou pressed on Liu Xing’s wound even harder. “Youngest scientist? Do you have any last words?”
Liu Xing’s face was filled with disbelief. “Do you really want to kill me?”
Tan Rou took out a mini pistol and aimed it at Liu Xing’s temple. “I’m sorry. I didn’t want to kill you. I accidentally killed you in self-defense. And you were the one who brought the gun, not me. Do you understand?”
“No, no, no!” Liu Xing stammered. “You can’t kill me. That’s illegal.”
“Haha.” Tan Rou was amused by her.
“You know what’s illegal and what isn’t? Since you know so much about the law, why did you come out of prison? Last time, you were only sentenced to life imprisonment. If you go back this time, you should be sentenced to death.. You and 1 know each other, and 1 don’t think you like being in court, so let me help you one last time!”
Chapter 918: 918 Peed Her Pants
....
“What do you want?” Liu Xing was a little scared. “You can’t kill me. I don’t want to die! Send me back to prison. 1’11 be obedient and never come out again.”
Tan Rou didn’t listen to Liu Xing. She turned Liu Xing over and made her lie face up. Liu Xing’s arms had been removed by Tan Rou and she couldn’t move anymore.
Tan Rou held the mini pistol in her hand. After spinning it in her hand, she aimed it at Liu Xing’s head again. The muzzle was 15 centimeters away from Liu Xing’s eyes. Liu Xing seemed to see the structure inside the barrel.
“Don’t, don’t…” Liu Xing kept shaking her head and begging for mercy. “Tan Rou, please let me go. I won’t do it again!”
Tan Rou smiled. “I’ve heard this sentence many times, but you’ve never done it before. Can 1 still believe you this time?”
“You can trust me. 1’11 definitely do what I say this time,” Liu Xing said sincerely.
Tan Rou smiled and moved the gun away. “Alright.”
Liu Xing could not believe that Tan Rou would let her off so easily. She took a deep breath and said, “Thank you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Tan Rou pointed the muzzle at her head again. This time, it was not ten centimeters away from her eyes. Instead, she really put the muzzle against her head, right between Liu Xing’s eyebrows.
“Didn’t you say you’d let me go?” Liu Xing asked anxiously.
Tan Rou shook her head. “I’ve changed my mind. 1’11 just kill you instead.”
Her hand was pressed on the trigger, and Liu Xing seemed to have heard the sound of bullets in the pistol.
“Don’t kill me, please don’t kill me…” Liu Xing’s entire body started to tremble. What was worse was that her body seemed to be out of control.
Tan Rou looked at Liu Xing and said softly, “Liu Xing, goodbye!”
“Bang!”
“Ahhhhhh!!!!” Liu Xing screamed. A warm current flowed down from her lower abdomen and gushed out.
The stage was covered with a new red carpet. If there were water stains on it, it would be very obvious. Tan Rou did not know how much Liu Xing had peed, but when the people around her saw it, the area where she was lying was completely soaked.
Tan Rou did not notice that Liu Xing had already peed her pants. She was still immersed in the shooting game. “Bang bang bang-”
Tan Ron’s gun was not loaded yet. She had not taken off the safety on her gun, so she did not have time to do this. However, Liu Xing did not know this.
“Xiao Rou, don’t get too close to her.” When Zhuang Liu saw the water stains on the carpet, he reminded Tan Rou. “She seems to have peed in fear. Be careful. Don’t get it on your body.”
Tan Rou had a look of disdain on her face. “Are you that timid?”
Zhuang Liu signaled for the people beside him to control Liu Xing, but the people beside him also despised Liu Xing. They pinched their noses to hold Liu Xing down.
They didn’t even need to waste their energy to deal with Liu Xing. At this moment, Liu Xing had no fighting strength left. She could only feel that her pants were hot, and the liquid was constantly flowing out of her body.
Zhuang Liu walked over to Tan Rou and said, “Rourou, I’ve asked Xiao Mo to take care of the surveillance cameras here. We won’t expose what happened after that. Get rid of the gun first. Don’t let the police find out that we have guns too.”
Tan Rou passed the gun to Zhuang Liu. “Remember to ask the other bodyguards to hide the guns.”
“Xiao Mo has already sent someone to do it.” Zhuang Liu nodded.
By the time the police arrived at the scene, Liu Xing was already lying on the ground with nothing left to live for. Summer was hot, and the urine quickly dried up, leaving only an unpleasant smell and urine stains.
The police had seen it many times. After seeing Liu Xing pee her pants, a few female police officers dragged Liu Xing up without batting an eyelid. Then, they handcuffed her and brought her to the police car.
Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou sent the remaining guests away and then went to the police station to make a statement. When the people from the Tao family and the Zhuang family heard that they were at the police station, they immediately drove to the police station. More than ten luxury cars blocked the road beside the police station. Those who did not know better would think that the rich had gone to the police station for a group building.
“Xiao Rou, are you alright?” Li Li cried sadly. “Is that lunatic Liu Xing dead?”
Tan Rou smiled helplessly. “We are law-abiding citizens. Why would we kill anyone?”
Li Li rolled up her sleeves. “Just you wait. I’ll go to the police station and beat her up right now.”
Tan Rou stopped her. “It’s okay. She peed herself. I’m afraid you’ll dirty your hands if you hit her..”
Chapter 919: 919 We Can Get Engaged
....
When Li Li heard that Liu Xing had peed his pants, her mood immediately improved. She smiled and said, “With her guts, she dared to learn how to assassinate others. It’s really funny.”
“Xiao Rou, are you hurt?” Liang Lu was very worried about Tan Rou. She said unhappily, “It’s all Lu Qing’s fault. If Lu Qing hadn’t dragged me away just now, 1 would have fought with you until the last moment.”
Tan Rou said, “Lu Qing is just worried about you. Don’t be angry. Besides, you didn’t need to appear in the scene just now. It was just to deal with Liu Xing. There was no need for a powerful heroine like you to take action.”
Liang Lu’s mood immediately improved. “Your engagement ceremony has been ruined, and you’re still joking with me. I’m embarrassed.”
Tan Rou smiled. “The engagement ceremony isn’t ruined. Ah Liu and 1 have already exchanged rings, so we don’t have any regrets. Moreover, this engagement ceremony was too exciting. 1 don’t think I’ll forget this day for the rest of my life.”
“If possible, I still don’t want such an exciting thing to happen,” Zhuang Liu said helplessly.
“Now that the matter has been resolved, let’s go to the banquet. Let’s have a good dinner tonight. Let’s not waste any more time,” said Father Tao.
“I’ll make the arrangements,” Tao Zhi said.
Shen Jing and Zhuang Yan also wanted to help, but it was no longer their turn to intervene. The young people would do everything well and do better than them.
This time, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu’s engagement ceremony was arranged by Tao Zhi and the rest. If Liu Xing hadn’t come out to cause trouble, the engagement ceremony would have gone perfectly.
Tao Zhi held Tian Tian’s hand and said to the others, “Then let’s go set up the banquet first. You guys should come over quickly!”
Everyone smiled as they looked at Tao Zhi and Tian Tian. They all felt that the next engagement ceremony would happen soon.
Tao Zhi brought Tian Tian to the car. After he fastened Tian Tian’s seatbelt, he gently stroked her hand and comforted her. “Did what happened in the afternoon scare you? I’m really sorry. I was at the venue just now and left you alone outside. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“I’m not unhappy. You don’t have to apologize to me. You were in danger just now. What if Liu Xing shot you?”
Tao Zhi patted her head. “I’ve made you worry. I won’t leave you alone next time.”
A smile finally appeared on Tian Tian’s face. “Alright. I also want to face difficulties with you.” She knew that she was timid and did not have much ability, but she could learn. She wanted to be as strong as Tan Rou.
Today, when Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu faced Liu Xing together, Tian Tian was very envious. She hoped that she and Tao Zhi could be like them, standing side by side on the stage and acting as each other’s shields.
“I want to be like Xiao Rou and Zhuang Liu,” Tian Tian said enviously.
She originally meant to be as powerful as Zhuang Liu and Tan Rou. However, when Tao Zhi heard this, the meaning changed. He asked in surprise, “Do you want to get engaged to me?”
Tian Tian blushed and hurriedly explained, “That’s not what 1 meant. What I meant was that I want to be as powerful as Xiao Rou. I can be brave when facing danger.”
Tao Zhi was a little disappointed. “Alright, looks like we still need to discuss the engagement.”
Tian Tian suddenly hooked Tao Zhi’s pinky and whispered, “If you want to get engaged to me, I won’t object but you haven’t seen my family yet. When Xiao Ron’s matter is over, you can come with me to meet them.”
Tao Zhi’s mood was like a roller coaster. He went up and down. When he heard Tian Tian invite him home, he immediately replied, “We’ll go to your house to meet your parents and grandfather tonight!”
“There’s no need to be so anxious. I haven’t told them that I’m in a relationship yet,” said Tian Tian with a smile.
“I’ve already brought you to meet my parents. Why haven’t you introduced me to your family yet?” Tao Zhi said sadly.
“Alright, I’ll tell them about us today,” said Tian Tian.
Tao Zhi was satisfied. It seemed that he would be getting engaged soon. To be honest, he was a little envious of Zhuang Liu. Not only did he fall in love before him, but he also got engaged before him. It seemed that he had to work harder after this..
Chapter 920: 920 Changing their address
....
There weren’t many people at the banquet. Only the Tao family, the Zhuang family, and some of their more important relatives were there. They all tacitly didn’t mention what happened during the day.
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat together. They were eating the cake that they had ordered for lunch. It seemed that they were not affected by what had happened during the day as well.
Tan Ron’s parents and Zhuang Liu’s parents watched them as they ate. They wanted to see if Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu were affected. After all, this was the engagement party that they had prepared for a long time.
Tan Rou sensed the gazes of both parents. She then quietly said to Zhuang Liu, who was beside her, “All Liu, our parents are struggling to decide. They must want to comfort us, but they’re afraid that they’ll make us sad.”
Zhuang Liu sighed. “I’m quite sad too. I wanted to give you an unforgettable engagement ceremony, but I didn’t expect it to cause such a consequence.”
Tan Rou chuckled. “It’s indeed unforgettable. However, I was still very curious about who released Liu Xing. Could it really be Xin? Does he care that much about Liu Xing?”
Zhuang Liu looked troubled. He wanted to tell Tan Rou the news he had just received, but he was afraid that she would be angry.
Tan Rou was very smart. When she saw that Zhuang Liu did not speak, she knew that Zhuang Liu must have some inside information. So she asked, “Do you know who let Liu Xing out?”
“It’s my second uncle,” Zhuang Liu said, rubbing his glabella.
Tan Rou was not surprised at all. There were only a few people who wanted her and Zhuang Liu’s lives. It was either Zhuang Su, Liu Xing, and Xin. However, Xin and the others did not have such great ability. After thinking about it, only Zhuang Su met the conditions.
“He is indeed quite capable. It’s hard to get out of a life sentence,” Tan Rou agreed. “I wonder how he got Liu Xing out?”
“Medical treatment. He bribed the people in the prison and arranged for Liu Xing to be released on bail for medical treatment. Then, he persuaded Liu Xing to escape. Since Liu Xing got the chance to go out, hse definitely wouldn’t return. Zhuang Su used this to make Liu Xing come to our engagement ceremony to cause trouble, and Liu Xing really came.”
“Oh.” Tan Rou gave a simple reply.
Zhuang Liu apologized. “I’m sorry. I didn’t take precautions. If I had taken precautions against Zhuang Su in advance, Liu Xing wouldn’t have ruined the engagement ceremony.”
Tan Rou comforted Zhuang Liu instead. “I don’t think this engagement ceremony has been ruined. We’ve already gone through all the procedures. Moreover, there was a gunfight at the end of the ceremony. Isn’t it very exciting and unforgettable?”
“Xiao Rou…” Zhuang Liu was very touched. He must have saved the earth in his previous life. Otherwise, why would he meet such a good girl like Tan Rou in this life?
Tan Rou smiled and stuffed a small piece of cake into Zhuang Liu’s mouth. “Don’t dwell on this matter anymore. Let’s eat cake together. Today is our engagement day. Be happy!”
Zhuang Liu took a bite of the cake. “It’s so sweet!”
Shen Jing and Zhuang Yan couldn’t help but come over to talk to Tan Rou. They looked at Tan Rou apologetically. “Rourou, we were negligent today. Please don’t be angry!”
“Auntie, why would I be angry?” Tan Rou replied.
“I chose the venue today. If there’s anything wrong, it should be my fault.”
Shen Jing quickly waved her hand. “No, no, no. It’s our fault.”
“Don’t blame yourself. We’re not wrong about this. Liu Xing is the one at fault. Xiao Liu, don’t mind this too much. Look at how optimistic Xiao Rou is!”
Zhuang Liu stood up and bowed deeply to the Tao family’s parents. “Uncle, Auntie, 1 swear that this will never happen again.”
“You’re already engaged, yet you still call us Uncle and Auntie?” Mrs. Tao chuckled.
Zhuang Liu was stunned and called out tentatively, “Mom and Dad?”
Mrs. Tao replied happily, “Ah, our good son-in-law.”
Mr. Tao also smiled slightly. “Don’t worry about it.”
Shen Jing looked at Tan Rou expectantly. She had long wanted Tan Rou to call her mom, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Tan Rou understood what Shen Jing meant. She changed her words. “Dad, Mom.”
Shen Jing was grinning from ear to ear, and even Zhuang Yan, who didn’t like to smile usually, was having a bright smile on his face..
