"I was wondering why you remained so calm after Yan''er died. So it''s because this bastard has returned.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Well, you lost one son, but you still have another one, don''t you, Zhao Huaimin?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Even though he''s the child of a shameless escort, he''s still your spawn!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

This son was the stain on his life. How could he possibly like him?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Hospital? Heh..." A faint mockery tugged at Ling Jing''s lips. "So you knew I was in the hospital? Are you disappointed that I didn''t die?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"You insolent brat! Is this how you speak to me?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"What attitude do you expect from me? Gentle and respectful? Servile and submissive?" Ling Jing''s eyes narrowed. "Take a good look at yourself. Are you worthy of that?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

What right do you have to interrogate me now?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Is it because your only son has returned, and you want to y innocent to gain sympathy, so you and your son can reconcile?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Hmph, Zhao Huaimin, let me tell you, don''t even think about it!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Her son was dead, she had lost her support, and if she couldn''t be happy, no one else should be either!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
A glint of manic obsession shed in Luo Qn''s eyes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhao Huaimin''s gaze flickered.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
At the time, he had known that Luo Qn disliked Ling Jing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He didn''t like him either.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Sometimes he saw Luo Qn''s sarcasm and ridicule towards Ling Jing, but he had turned a blind eye.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Later, when Luo Qn said Ling Jing had been diagnosed with a mental illness at the hospital and needed treatment, he hadn''t questioned it. He thought it was better not to see him, out of sight, out of mind. It was better for him to be treated in the hospital than to have to see that face every day, constantly reminding him that he had once been tricked by an escort who then bore a son to ckmail him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
However...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Luo Qn was right about one thing. Now that Yan''er was dead, Ling Jing was his only remaining son.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Although he didn''t like this son, the Zhao family line couldn''t end with him!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Thinking this, heposed his angry and displeased expression and turned to face Ling Jing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Ling Jing, perhaps I was wrong in the past. If there are any misunderstandings, we can sit down and talk about themter. Right now, we need to deal with the person who killed your brother first."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Saying this, he turned seriously towards Yun Xiaoxiao, who had been watching the drama unfold with a leisurely air.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Little girl, it''s an indisputable fact that you killed my son. To be so vicious at such a young age, how can I allow such a tumor to exist!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
With that, he waved to his subordinates surrounding them.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Shoot her! Kill her!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Just as they were about to act, Ling Jing walked in front of Yun Xiaoxiao, shielding her behind him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
They had all heard earlier that this man was the son of the base leader.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
For a moment, everyone stopped their actions, unsure of what to do.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Yun Xiaoxiao was also bewildered.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She had been preparing to retreat into her space, leaving the mess for Ling Jing to deal with his father while she took the opportunity to escape.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She rubbed her nose a bit embarrassedly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Alright, considering how chivalrous Ling Jing was being, she decided to temporarily overlook the fact that he had kidnapped her for no reason earlier.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Ling Jing, your mischief has limits. This little girl killed your brother!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Zhao Huaimin frowned and snorted coldly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Brother? What brother do I have?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

Doesn''t someone like that... deserve to die?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Ling Jing curved his lips into a wicked smile.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"My little one here was doing a public service. How can you kill her? You should be giving her an award."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"You!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

"Ling Jing! You bastard! You should have died along with your whore of a mother! Ahhh, I''ll kill you both!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The triggered Luo Qn grabbed a nearby chair and swung it towards Yun Xiaoxiao and Ling Jing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Bang!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

"Ugh... let... let go of me..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Beneath the debris, Ling Jing''s form moved swiftly. Before anyone could react, he shed in front of Luo Qn.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He grabbed her by the throat, lifting her off the ground.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Luo Qn''s face immediately turned red, struggling to breathe. She frantically wed at Ling Jing''s hand, trying to pry it loose.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0

He hadn''t expected Ling Jing to be so powerful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
But he absolutely couldn''t allow a son killing his mother to happen. It would further tarnish his reputation in the base.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
