Am I destined to be cannon fodder? Unlock the system and lead the motherland

Chapter 51 Two Ladies Cursing in the Street

There was naked mockery in Mrs. Qin's eyes, as if she was ready to chew the girl's self-esteem as if it were a snack.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she started to criticize Yun Ximo, a soft-spoken woman. Every word she spoke was thorny and sharp like an embroidery needle, and every word was mean.

It makes the listeners sad and the hearers cry. If Yun Ximo had a weaker mental state, she would probably have been heartbroken on the spot.

"She exudes a 'punk' vibe. I don't know where she learned these rude behaviors. A lady from a noble family? She's not even close! What's Old Master Yun thinking? Is he playing 'garbage collection, picking up a piece of trash'?"

Yun Ximo muttered to herself, "I will endure, I will endure. The word 'endurance' is like a knife hanging over my head. I am a model of civility. Even when I am burning with anger, I have to take a basin of cold water to cool my heart and make my spirit soar..."

Mrs. Qin was so excited that she almost wanted to use her bag as a sword, pointing it at Yun Ximo. "How dare you hurt my son? I came here today to settle this account with you. You didn't even ask about the Qin family's reputation in the martial arts world, and you dared to attack someone from the Qin family? Have you ever considered how this action will affect the Qin family's reputation?"

Madam Qin is more annoying than a fly in summer. She keeps buzzing around, and Yun Ximo's ears are almost being ripped apart by her nagging!

"Is the Qin family's reputation gilded or just paper? Also, when did my courage become so strong? How come I didn't even realize it? Did I accidentally borrow a little from Brother Wu Song while sleepwalking last night?"

Facing Madam Qin's aggressiveness, Yun Ximo spoke in a low voice, each word clear and resounding: "Madam Qin, you look so aggressive, someone who didn't know you would think your family runs the law school! But then again, your son's actions are truly unique. He designed to trick me into going to a hotel, and he even wanted to use an aphrodisiac, such a clichéd plot? I've already read this script through many third-rate novels, okay?"

Then, Yun Ximo's smile hid a hint of mockery and helplessness.

"As for me, considering both families' reputations, I decided to be merciful, as everyone has their own mischievous children. I didn't call the police directly, but decided to give him a chance to mend his ways and not let him wear that 'specially made' orange vest. Am I more compassionate than Guanyin Bodhisattva?"

Yun Ximo continued, "So, Madam Qin, the fact that you're still standing here, giving orders to a delicate little flower like me, is entirely due to my generosity. Otherwise, you might have to find another venue, such as the interrogation room at the police station. If the law really applies, you'd probably be busy looking for a lawyer right now instead of discussing the weather and tea ceremony with me."

These words made Mrs. Qin's face turn red and white, and the air around them seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Every word that came out of Yun Ximo's little mouth whizzed by, accurately directed at the apple of Mrs. Qin's eye - her son, whom she treasured like the apple of her eye.

Mrs. Qin's expression instantly became complicated and indistinguishable, a mixture of anger, shock, and even a subtle hint of panic. She took a deep breath and shouted, "You—how dare you confuse right and wrong and talk nonsense like this! If I don't teach you a lesson today, how can the Qin family maintain its reputation?"

"You said my son gave you an aphrodisiac. Do you have solid evidence?" Mrs. Qin's eyes were icy, her tone filled with unquestionable toughness. "You're trying to call the police and arrest someone based on baseless accusations? You can actually touch my son in the slightest? This is simply a ridiculous fantasy!"

Facing Madam Qin's sharp gaze that could shoot arrows, Yun Ximo remained "calm as a pine tree" and her expression was as steady as an old dog taking a walk, without even blinking.

Just as Mrs. Qin's "aggressive enhanced version" skill was about to be fully released and the living room was filled with a tense atmosphere of "a war is about to break out", Yun Ximo cleared her throat lightly and prepared to speak.

But he was interrupted by Shu Manli who was standing beside him.

Yun Ximo's brilliant phoenix eyes rolled slightly, and her eyes almost flew up to the sky to embrace the moon. A thousand horses were galloping through her heart: "Damn it, I'm in a battle of wits and courage with that old fox Qin Wupo, and I'm about to make her speechless and ready to say goodbye. And you, a woman who was just watching the show, suddenly appeared and interrupted faster than lightning, playing the role of a peacemaker, right, and deliberately inserting a tantrum at the critical moment."

You don’t have to think about it to know that it must be a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to the chicken - it has no good intentions!
Shu Manli intervened in a seemingly conciliatory tone, but with a subtle yet pointed tone: "Ximo, calm down and listen to me. Calling the police is a serious matter, and it's unwise for anyone. Why don't we both take a step back and make a big deal out of a small one? Why let this situation get out of control?"

Mrs. Qin's anger seemed to be further ignited by Shu Manli's words. Her face was ashen and her tone was as cold as ice: "How can you be an aunt? You don't discipline your niece strictly, allowing her to do whatever she wants, and you even want to frame my son? How can this be disgraceful!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Manli's face instantly stretched longer than Changbai Mountain. She retorted sarcastically, "Madam Qin, you're wrong. Although I'm your aunt, I can't always watch my niece's every move. Besides, do you still need me to remind you about your son's affairs? His romantic affairs and drugging girls are not just one or two times. If you hadn't stepped in to cover for him every time, he would have paid the price for his actions and been behind bars long ago. Do you think your protection can keep him at large forever?"

Just like that, Madam Qin and Shu Manli, two wealthy ladies who usually always liked to talk about etiquette and rules, seemed to be under a spell and were in "mutual bickering mode."

Mrs. Qin was furious, and her words were like a bombshell: "Shu Manli, do you think you can rise to the top just because you're from a famous family? Let me tell you, my Qin family's roots are deeply rooted in the fertile soil of the underworld. In terms of background, your humble background is not enough to shine my Qin family's shoes. Compared with our 'black gold' background, it's like a bean sprout meeting an elephant. Not to mention, you're so embarrassed that you can't even give birth to a boy. How dare you jump around here?"

Shu Manli was furious, her delicately made-up face covered in frost, and she fought back without hesitation: "Mrs. Qin, are you planning to use the Qin family's 'dark history' to give me a history lesson? Don't forget, this is the 21st century, and we value a society ruled by law. Your 'gangster story' is already outdated. If you expose it to the public, it will probably get moldy. As for your son, the gossip about him is more diligent than the newspaper headlines. As the mistress of the house, if you really care about your reputation, you should discipline your precious son first, and stop competing with me. We are not on the same level!"

For a moment, the two of them became louder and sharper in their words, and the whole living room turned into a war of words. Even the little sparrow outside the window that had been trying to eavesdrop was so scared that it flapped its wings and ran away quickly.

The servants and bodyguards were all sweating secretly, lowering their heads, wishing they could become invisible.

Yun Ximo was sitting on the sofa, feeling so excited. Her ears were finally quiet for a while. She was almost driven insane by the "noise" of Mrs. Qin.

At this moment, Madam Qin made a dolphin sound, almost causing Yun Ximo's eardrum to directly go through the "early retirement" procedures. "If there is a work injury insurance for this ear, I must apply for compensation."

Immediately afterwards, Shu Manli turned into a human hedgehog, whizzing and shooting her "truth darts" into the other person's heart.

Yun Ximo laughed and said, "If I can cultivate to this level someday, I will be able to walk sideways and fly sideways in the circle of friends." However, the thought changed, and Yun Ximo became timid again: "Oh, forget it, I am more suitable to be a quiet spectator. After all, this unique skill of 'lady scolding in the street' is not something that everyone can do.

A RV with a shiny black luster slowly drove into the residential area.

The driver politely opened the door for him.

Yun Ling walked out of the car, into the living room, and saw this scene.

He suddenly cleared his throat, and his majestic and deep voice suddenly rang out amid the noise: "Enough!"

But at this moment, a sudden sound, like the pure water from Guanyin Bodhisattva, came pouring down, and the movements of the two people instantly froze like stone sculptures. The smell of gunpowder around them seemed to be quickly frozen into popsicles, and even the air was shivering with cold.

Mrs. Qin and Shu Manli exchanged a glance, and the two exchanged glances, saying, "Look at you, do you think I'm afraid of you?" But on the surface, she had to maintain the elegance of a lady, with a smile of "I don't bother to pay attention to you, but you are really low" at the corner of her mouth. The contempt in her expression could be smelled from ten miles away.

Yun Ximo was watching from the side, shaking her head, feeling extremely regretful: "Hey, the fight hasn't even started yet, why is it already dead? What a pity, there's nothing left to watch."

Yun Ling turned his gaze to Madam Qin. "Could it be that you came here to apologize to my niece?"

Then, his tone became more serious: "Your precious son actually used aphrodisiacs on my niece. How can this matter be easily let go?"

Yun Ling's heart was simmering with rage. The results of the investigation he had been assigned to do were streaming into his eyes through his phone. After browsing through them, Yun Ling was even more furious.

These people are really one more outrageous than the other, actually bullying his eldest brother's daughter in secret.

Shu Manli looked at Yun Ling with a slightly awkward expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come back so suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance."

Yun Ling did not answer Shu Manli's question.

Speaking of Qin Chen, he is a walking "Little Bully with the Golden Spear". He is famous in East City for his flamboyant behavior and is afraid that others don't know his reputation.

Qin Chen has the gangster Qin family behind him, and he is also a frequent VIP on the edge of the law. If his troubles were printed out, their thickness would be thicker than the Civil Code.

However, every time Qin Chen got into trouble, he never frowned. Why? Because he had the mighty Qin family standing behind him. They were so strong! The Qin family, a force that had made its fortune in the underworld, was a real-life version of "Trouble Clearing Co., Ltd.". No matter how big the storm was, it was a piece of cake for the Qin family.

Ironclad evidence? In front of the Qin family, it was nothing but sand, vanishing in a gust of wind. Problems that could be solved with money were no problem; but what money couldn't solve? Hey, when power was at hand, who could challenge it? When faced with those stubborn and recalcitrant individuals, the Qin family had plenty of ways to make them vanish, even with sophisticated methods that wouldn't even register on a "missing persons notice."

So, although Qin Chen lives like he is dancing on the edge of a knife, he has the confidence. After all, under the protection of the Qin family, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, he can still wait leisurely for the rain to pass and continue his "free and easy journey".

Facing Yun Ling's accusation, Madam Qin curled her lips into a cold smile. She said in a haughty manner, "Yun Ling, you must produce evidence. Don't think that my Qin family is afraid of your Yun family. If you rely on your family's power to slander my son, you are making a wrong calculation."

At this point, Shu Manli couldn't help but interrupt again, trying to ease the tense atmosphere: "We really don't have any solid evidence. Maybe Ximo was careless and made a mistake."

Yun Ling sat down calmly, legs crossed, and leaned back on the sofa, his face as calm as water, one hand casually resting on his knee. His eyes were deep as he studied Madam Qin and Shu Manli.

He lowered his head, his gaze fixed on his phone again, his fingers sliding lightly across the screen, as if browsing some important information. After a moment, he looked up, his voice carrying a chilling tone that left no room for doubt: "Wrong? Are you sure? Manli, you'd better keep your mouth shut."

Upon hearing this, Shu Manli frowned, an unhappy look on her face: "What do you mean? You actually asked me to say less? Did I say something wrong?"

Mrs. Qin's expression changed slightly. She obviously didn't expect that Yun Ximo could sit on the Diaoyutai like an old cat that had taken a tranquilizer, without any panic at all.

She snorted impatiently, "What do you mean? I don't have the time to play tricks on you. You've offended my precious son and the entire Qin family. The consequences will be so severe that you'll regret it and want to rewind your life. Put away your cleverness and pay the price for your 'ignorance is fearless' and 'arrogance'."

Yun Ximo raised the corners of her mouth, and that smile was filled with a bit of self-confidence and arrogance.

She said slowly, "What I mean is - I have a lot of evidence in my hands. Besides, I've already secretly sent some 'takeout' to the police officers, and they're busy 'eating' now."

Although her voice was as light as a feather, it was more shocking to Mrs. Qin's ears than a ten-ton hammer, and it made Mrs. Qin's heart beat "boom boom boom" and she began to back down.
