Night fell and dark clouds covered the entire sky, with thunder rolling in the distance.

A beam of light flashed across and lit up the sky, as well as the six posh black cars parked in front of the Mu residence.

Matriarch Mu had rushed to the door the moment she received the news.

Bao Junyan was holding an umbrella as he alighted from the vehicle. On this night, this man, with his aloof and god-like status, looked even more forbidding and out-of-reach.

Even the old lady, who had gone through much in her life, shuddered uncontrollably at the sight of him.

Mr. Bao, why are you here at this hour? As his senior and grandmother-in-law, she could have been less respectful toward him. But looking at him now, she could not help displaying her reverence and fear.

Bai Xuexian had drugged Xiao Huan.

His point-blank remark caused her heart to jump in fear.

Mr. Bao, dont you worry, Ill make sure that justice is served. She broke out in hot perspiration despite the cold.

Theres no need to trouble you. Ill take her away myself. He signaled with his eye, and a troop of men in black marched orderly into the Mu residence.

The old woman dared not stop them, and she would not do that either. All she asked was that the rest of the family members would not be implicated.

Mr. Bao No Junyan since you are here, why dont you take a seat inside? Upon realizing that the man was here only for the woman and not for the entire family, she relaxed somewhat. So the moment she caught herself addressing him as mister, she quickly switched to a more intimate tone.

He was, after all, her grandson-in-law!

Xiao Huan is still waiting for me at home, he said, rejecting her offer icily.

If this old lady had been a good grandma, then his wifes senior would have been his senior. Alas, she had not been.

At this moment, inside the residence and upstairs, Mu Zixuan had been talking with his mother about ways to resolve this problem when a group of black-suited men barged in.

WIthout any word, the gang grabbed hold of the middle-aged woman and dragged her away.

Who are you?! What do you want Before the boy could finish his words, the men had already dragged the screeching woman out of the door.

The boy immediately gave chase and stumbled to the front door. This was when he caught sight of Bao Junyan.

It might be due to the loud thunder claps or the terrifying lightning that struck across the sky, but somehow or other, he was shaking in great fear.

Zixuan save Mommy Zixuan Bai Xuexian was also overwhelmed by the sight of him. She whimpered for her son helplessly.

As a feudalistic matriarch, the old lady had always favored sons and grandsons over the girls. Because of Mu Zixuan, Bai Xuexian had been able to have her way in the household. In other words, the boy was her goldmine. So naturally, when she was in trouble, she would think of him.

Likewise, the boy wanted to save his mother very much as well since she was his biological mother.

But

In the end, despite his fear, he approached the man. Brother-in-law, my mom now knows she was in the wrong. She wont do anything to hurt my sis anymore. I can promise you that she will really change for the better this time! I can vouch for that with my life! May I ask that you spare my mom this time? Please!

He reckoned that the mans heart would at least soften, even just a little, with his sincere pleading

Alas, it did not make a difference.

The man looked at him with indifference and said, How much is your life worth, anyway?

This boy could not even match up to his wifes teeny-weeny fingertip.

The boy was struck speechless on the spot.

This was the first time in his life that hed noticed the stark difference between one human being from the next. In Bao Junyans sight, he could not even compare to an ant.

This man could easily end his life with just a word. He did not even need to lift a finger
