After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1184: More Loss Than Gain

With hawk-like eyes fixed on Ali, he coldly questioned, "If you want to stop Long You's rampage, you could have simply injured him. Why take his life?"

"I didn't want to kill Long You either, but you should know how skilled he is. Ordinary flesh wounds wouldn't stop him at all, so I shot him in the chest. But I never expected that Long You's heart was in the opposite position, which killed him instead! Brother, I really didn't mean to!!"

Ali was almost crying in front of Xiao Jincheng, but Xiao Jincheng was unmoved. He coldly looked at Ali and said, "How much did Xiao Mingyang give you to make you say these things?"

Ali was stunned for a moment, then frowned and defended himself, saying, "Everything I said is true, why don't you believe me!?"

“Because I understand you!” Although lying in bed, Xiao Jincheng still looked confident, saying, “I know that if Long You wanted to harm someone, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to do it himself. Besides, with your intelligence, you couldn’t possibly have come up with such a meticulous plan. The only reasonable explanation is that someone is advising you! As for who your strategist is, I don’t need to tell you, we all know perfectly well!”

As Xiao Jincheng spoke, Ali's heart grew colder and colder.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mingyang had actually guessed this outcome; Xiao Jincheng simply didn't believe him! Sigh, he had followed Xiao Jincheng for so many years without even understanding his temperament.

But it's alright this way. It's not too late to see through it now. At least we still have Xiao Mingyang as a backup plan, so we won't end up with nothing.

With his eyes lowered, Ali looked heartbroken and said, "No matter what I say now, you won't believe me, so what's the point of arguing? Just do whatever you want, brother. Anyway, I owe Longyou my life, so even if I have to give it to him, it's only right!"

With his eyes slightly closed, Xiao Jincheng looked exhausted and said, "I will naturally find a way to deal with you and give the brothers and Longyou an explanation. You can go now, I want to rest for a while."

Ali stood up limply and followed behind Xiao Mingyang's entourage back to the room where he was imprisoned.

There, Ali stood facing the wall, silent, seemingly utterly despondent, yet also filled with anticipation for something.

Click——

The sudden sound filled Ali with joy. He turned around, looked at Ajiu beside Xiao Mingyang, and laughed, "I knew Xiao Mingyang would send someone to find me!"

Ajiu stood in front of Ali, her voice calm and even, and asked, "I suppose you already have your answer."

A glint of malice flashed in Ali's eyes as he said, "Xiao Jincheng has never trusted me, so why should I be devoted to him? Xiao Mingyang is right, everyone looks out for themselves!"

Ah Jiu was satisfied with Ali's answer and said, "If you want our young master to save you, it's very simple. But the premise is that you have to hand over something."

"I know what you want, the company's shares," Ajiu said nonchalantly. "After Long You dies, his shares will definitely fall into Xiao Jincheng's hands, and in order to compete with him, Xiao Mingyang will definitely take my shares."

“These things are my death warrant. I didn’t care about them in the first place. As long as you can arrange a way out for me, I will hand over the shares with both hands!”

"Very good! Since you agreed so readily, we will arrange your departure abroad immediately, and the date is set for tonight!"

"So fast?" Ali looked surprised, not expecting the other party to act so quickly.

"Delay will only lead to trouble. Haven't you heard that saying?" Ajiu put on his hat, revealed a mysterious smile, then stepped back and left the room.

tonight……

Ali pondered for a moment, wondering if Xiao Mingyang was really that capable of arranging for him to leave.

Time ticked by, and Ali grew increasingly impatient. Finally, as the clock struck midnight, a man in black quietly opened the door.

Looking at the other person nervously, Ali asked, "Whose side are you on?"

"I am here to wait for you on the young master's orders."

It really is Xiao Mingyang!

Ali looked excited and urged impatiently, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

"Wait a minute!" The man in black stopped Ali, explaining under the man's puzzled gaze, "For your safety, you'd better disguise yourself!"

Under Ali's puzzled gaze, the man in black produced a set of dark clothes and a hat, which he quickly put on Ali, making him look like a security guard in the castle.

Ah Li smugly touched his face, inwardly scoffing. He thought to himself that if Xiao Jincheng didn't trust him, he would have to pay the price! He had sacrificed so much for the Xiao family; it was time for him to find a way out for himself!

Lying quietly on the hospital bed, Xiao Jincheng's face was ashen. If it weren't for the occasional rise and fall of his chest, one would mistake him for a corpse.

Suddenly, the door to the room was opened, and a figure slunk in, standing in front of Xiao Jincheng with his head down, his face even more embarrassed than Xiao Jincheng's.

"master……"

With his eyes slightly open, Xiao Jincheng asked in a hoarse voice, "How is it?"

"Master Ali... has disappeared!"

"what?"

Perhaps he spoke too hastily, for Xiao Jincheng coughed incessantly, his face turning an unnatural red. After catching his breath, he questioned, "Weren't there guards? How could they have gotten away!"

"The person who was guarding the door outside... was knocked unconscious. We asked a few people, and they said they didn't remember who hit them at all. We also checked the surveillance footage, and the footage from the time of the incident just turned into static..."

Xiao Jincheng no longer had the strength to blame anyone; he was breathing rapidly with anger. Although his body was like a withered autumn leaf, Xiao Jincheng's mind was still as clear as a mirror. He knew that within the Xiao family, only Xiao Mingyang had the ability to abduct someone.

It seems I was a step too late, and that little brat got there first!

However, this also confirmed Ali's crime of colluding with Xiao Mingyang, making Xiao Jincheng hate Ali even more for daring to betray him!

"Looks like I've come at the wrong time!"

Just as Xiao Jincheng was filled with resentment, a voice he never wanted to hear again rang out...

Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Jincheng made himself appear calm and collected, even giving Xiao Mingyang a slight smile and saying, "It's so late, why aren't you resting?"

"Because I know Grandpa won't get a good rest tonight, I wanted to come and chat with you." Xiao Mingyang sat down next to Xiao Jincheng with a smug look on his face.

Xiao Jincheng knew that Xiao Mingyang's smugness was an attempt to provoke him, so he did not get angry and remained calm and composed.
