"Don’t think I won’t dare!" Jun Mochan aimed his gun at Huo Yi’s forehead.
"What’s happening?" Huo’s mother walked in with soup, her face changing dramatically at the sight before her.
"Mother, perhaps you should ask him what exactly he’s been doing?" Not only did Jun Mochan not lower his gun, he began to put his finger on the trigger.
"Stop it, put away the gun." Huo’s mother’s voice had changed.
A rare sense of madness appeared in Jun Mochan’s eyes: "No, either he dies today, or I do."
Huo’s mother was frightened by his words: "What are you doing? That’s your brother, your biological brother. After your father and I pass, he will be your closest kin."
"I don’t have a brother who covets my wife." Jun Mochan’s gaze was cold, devoid of any warmth.
Huo’s mother looked at Ye Ranran. Ye Ranran’s face was expressionless, the corner of her mouth was bloody, she looked shocked and hadn’t snapped back to reality. Huo’s mother turned back in surprise and glanced at Huo Yi.
Blood kept flowing out from the wound. Huo’s mother had words of blame in her heart, but she had to bite them back.
"Ranran, I beg you, speak up." Huo’s mother pleaded with Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran remained silent. She couldn’t forgive. If Jun Mochan hadn’t arrived in time, she dared not think about the consequences!
"No one can plead for him." Jun Mochan tightened his grip.
"Then you might as well kill me too." Huo’s mother stood in front of Huo Yi.
She apologized to Ye Ranran: "Ranran, no matter what, he is your older brother, and if this incident gets out, it won’t be good for anyone."
The happiest to see Jun Mochan and Huo Yi at odds will be the Song Family.
The Song Family would be delighted if Jun Mochan killed Huo Yi.
Moreover, if the news about a younger brother killing his older brother gets out, how would Jun Mochan ever establish himself in high society?
Ye Ranran still didn’t say a word. She was not so kind-hearted to get over what was burning inside her.
In fact, what she most wanted to do now was to kill Huo Yi herself.
"Ranran, I’m kneeling down to beg you." Huo’s mother knelt down.
"Mom." Ye Ranran’s voice was hoarse.
"Since you’re willing to call me Mom, listen to me, I know tonight’s incident has wronged you, but I swear it won’t happen again."
"I’m begging you as your mother." Huo’s mother was about to kowtow to Ye Ranran.
Ye Ranran wanted to help her up but she was tightly held by Jun Mochan and couldn’t move.
Ye Ranran really wanted to say that it was okay, but she opened her mouth and couldn’t say a word.
Beg her? Who should she ask? She knew all too well the peril that would linger if Huo Yi died.
But what was she supposed to do? Let him go after all he did? Let him harass her time and again?
What about next time? Or the time after next?
"Don’t beg Ranran, it’s pointless to beg her." Jun Mochan finally pulled the trigger.
But nothing happened to Huo Yi. In the crucial moment, Huo’s father arrived and pushed him away.
The bullet went through his father’s arm, blood splattered.
The nauseating smell of blood continuously crept into their noses. Ye Ranran felt like vomiting but couldn’t.
She wanted to faint but remained exceptionally calm.
In the end, this incident turned into a farce.
Huo’s father had been hurt so Jun Mochan couldn’t leave and had to stay.
"The bullet missed any bones, you’ll be fine after a month of rest." the doctor said.
Huo’s mother breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to see Huo Yi.
Huo Yi’s blood loss was a bit more severe, he was currently unconscious.
Huo’s mother sighed, her expression complex.
As soon as he heard that Huo’s father was safe, Jun Mochan took Ye Ranran and returned to his home.
