    Chapter 120: Are You Afraid of Me?

    Jin Baiyan carried Jin Mo out of the room and placed him on the sofa in the living room.

    Hearing the commotion, Ruan Ying turned her head. Looking at the refreshed and clear-headed duo, she was even more certain that she had been played for a fool!

    She sneered twice, staring intently at Jin Mo.

    “You set me up?”

    Jin Mo blinked a few times, wearing an expression that said, “Are you accusing me of something?”

    “Hey, look at me, do I look like someone who would set you up?”

    Two uniformed officers walked over. One took out a pair of handcuffs, and with two “clicks,” the two beautiful women, one sitting and one standing, each had a pair of “silver bracelets” on their wrists.

    After cuffing them, the older officer looked at the two beauties, then at the two on the sofa not far away, and shook his head.

    Jin Mo’s face darkened slightly.

    The older officer probably thought that since his legs weren’t working well, if the two beauties went crazy, he and Jin Baiyan might not be able to handle them!

    Sure enough, the older officer scanned the room a few times and finally found his target on the window.

    “Xiao Wang, cuff them to the security window first!”

    As he spoke, he unlocked one of Ruan Ying’s handcuffs, dragged her to the window, and with a “click,” cuffed her to the security window.

    Only then did Pei Qingqing react, and she started yelling.

    “Hey, why are you cuffing me? I didn’t do anything! Besides, nothing even happened, right? Hey, hey, don’t pull me!”

    While shouting, she was dragged to the window by Officer Xiao Wang, and with a “click,” cuffed to the security window.

    Ruan Ying remained silent, staring intently at Jin Mo.

    The older officer stood at the door, smiled, and said, “You guys chat first, we’ll go organize the evidence.”

    After saying that, he led Officer Xiao Wang out.

    Xu Jiahao was the “evidence” himself, so naturally he had to go. Xiao Feiwu looked at Jin Baiyan, then at Xu Jiahao, and finally, steeling his heart, followed Xu Jiahao.

    Jin Mo chuckled as he watched Xiao Feiwu leave without looking back.

    “Brother Feiwu is… completely smitten?”

    Jin Baiyan chuckled softly and gently stroked Jin Mo’s forehead.

    Jin Mo leaned back, nestling into Jin Baiyan’s arms.

    It was his lunch break, so he naturally felt a bit sleepy.

    “Tired? Why don’t you go rest?” Jin Baiyan lowered his head, looked at Jin Mo, and his eyes were filled with concern.

    Jin Mo shook his head, shifted in Jin Baiyan’s arms, and found the most comfortable position.

    “It’s okay!”

    Seeing the unrestrained intimacy between the two, Pei Qingqing’s eyes almost popped out.

    “Aren’t you two ashamed? There are still two people here!”

    Pei Qingqing yelled out, and Jin Mo’s head throbbed a little. He raised his eyes and looked over.

    “If you don’t want to watch, you can poke your eyes out!”

    As he said that, he rolled his eyes.

    Pei Qingqing, this idiot, was being used by others and was still cluelessly oblivious.

    “Hmph, it’s clearly you who are shameless, and you’re telling me to poke my eyes out. Do you have any shame?” Pei Qingqing was furious, yelling as she kicked her legs towards Jin Mo.

    Jin Mo was speechless. Did she think she was a fast kicker? So far away, could she even kick him?

    Twenty years of the same old problem!

    “Hmph, I’ll kick you to death!” Pei Qingqing was still struggling desperately! She secretly regretted not wearing shoes when she came out, missing a “secret weapon”!

    “Pei Qingqing, is your brain broken! You’re going to jail, do you know that?” Jin Mo lay in Jin Baiyan’s arms, watching Pei Qingqing struggle, and felt embarrassed for her.

    Pei Qingqing was stunned. Jail? What jail? What did she do to go to jail? Wasn’t she just… putting in some medicine?

    But that medicine wasn’t hers, nor was it what she wanted to put in, and besides, nothing even happened, right? So why would she go to jail?

    She widened her eyes, looked at the handcuffs on her wrists, then at Jin Mo, seemingly not knowing what he was talking about.

    “Jail? Don’t joke around, I didn’t do anything, why would I go to jail?” As she said that, she forced a smile, “Don’t think you can scare me!”

    Jin Mo sneered twice.

    “You didn’t do anything? Hehe, you can even say that. You… poisoned someone, and harmed someone. Just that alone is intentional injury. If you don’t go in for a few years, how can you be worthy of all your hard work!”

    Pei Qingqing was dumbfounded. She looked at Jin Mo, then at Ruan Ying, who was staring intently at Jin Mo, and finally at Jin Baiyan, who hadn’t looked at them from beginning to end.

    “Impossible!” Pei Qingqing let out a low whimper, “I know, you’re definitely just scaring me!”

    Jin Mo didn’t want to say anything more, but Ruan Ying’s gaze was really making him laugh.

    “Classmate Ruan, why are you staring at me?” While playing with Jin Baiyan’s fingers, he asked with a smile.

    “You set me up?” Ruan Ying repeated the same sentence.

    Jin Mo rubbed his forehead and looked up at Ruan Ying.

    “I lowered the sales ratio of your family’s products, originally wanting you to restrain yourself a bit, to stop hitting on me. I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t restrain yourself, but instead escalate, even trying to drug us. Truly, you’re reaping what you sow!”

    Ruan Ying’s face immediately twisted into a ferocious expression.

    “I haven’t even acted yet, and you’ve already started attacking me. How can you have the nerve to say that about me!”

    Jin Mo “hmph”-ed twice, “I’m just giving notice, I haven’t even implemented it yet. If you were sensible, and turned back, then things would be the same next month! It’s just a pity that you’re terminally ill, beyond saving.”

    Jin Mo smiled harmlessly, but Ruan Ying saw the ruthlessness in it.

    She “pui”-ed, looking like she wanted to bite someone.

    “So, the power outage last night, that was also your doing? Just to trap me? You really aren’t a sheep, but a wolf! You’re truly ruthless!”

    Before Jin Mo could open his mouth, Jin Baiyan’s voice came out.

    “It wasn’t him, it was me!”

    As soon as these words came out, the first to react was actually Pei Qingqing.

    “Impossible! Brother Baiyan, you’re so noble and refined, how could you do something like that?”

    Pei Qingqing wore a shocked expression. In her twenty-plus years of thinking, Jin Mo had always been the wolf in sheep’s clothing, while Jin Baiyan was the dignified gentleman blinded by the wolf.

    Now, Jin Baiyan’s words shattered her deeply ingrained beliefs, and she couldn’t accept this reality. But Jin Baiyan’s next sentence directly crushed her.

    “Blocking my path, getting in my way, deserves to die!” The tone was very cold, without a trace of warmth, like poisonous arrows, piercing towards the two.

    Pei Qingqing’s face was pale, and Ruan Ying’s body went weak.

    Only now did the two women feel a sense of impending doom.

    Before, they had more or less held onto a bit of luck, thinking that it was just going through the motions, and that a little money could get them out of it unscathed. Now, Jin Baiyan’s bone-chilling voice shattered their illusions.

    They had always thought that Jin Mo was ruthless, but now they understood that the truly ruthless one was Jin Baiyan. Even without his memories, Jin Baiyan was still just as ruthless.

    Jin Mo in Jin Baiyan’s arms, however, was laughing happily!

    His brother was ruthless, not only to others, but also to himself!

    As long as something was detrimental to him, even if it was himself, he wouldn’t let it go!

    Thinking of this, he met Jin Baiyan’s gaze!

    “Afraid?” Jin Baiyan lowered his head and asked softly in Jin Mo’s ear.

    Jin Mo shook his head, “Not afraid!”

    Everyone in the world might be afraid of Jin Baiyan, but only he wasn’t afraid!
