Chapter 606: Chapter 404: The highest realm of revenge is not killing (Part 2)

What else does she want to do? Xiaoqing is already so severely hurt, does she want her life too?

Qu Lili never once considered, if Mu Lin truly wanted Zhang Qing’s life, would she still be able to breathe so peacefully now? She would have been a cold corpse by now.

In that moment just now, everyone could tell that what Zhang Qing wanted was Mu Lin’s life, instead it was Mu Lin who had shown mercy, letting her go despite injuring her. The blame entirely lies with Zhang Qing.

All fingers of blame pointed at Zhang Qing.

This outcome was exactly what Mu Lin wanted.

Alone and betrayed, compared to one’s life, this was the best ending for her, and the one Mu Lin was most satisfied with.

Killing is too easy, but this is more interesting, isn’t it? As for Qu Lili, Mu Lin could see the fear in her eyes and felt no need to do anything more to her. That was enough, wasn’t it?

The faint curve of her lips carried an eerie serenity.

At this moment, everyone present no longer dared to underestimate Mu Lin; even though she had only been training as a new recruit for three months, her power was indeed formidable, surpassing their numerous hardened soldiers.

They were simply not her match; and they could finally understand why those who had faced her held her in such high regard.

Lin Shan looked at Mu Lin; he couldn’t help but feel that perhaps only Sir Jing could compete with her in their vast military camp.

Those who are strong are always best matched with the strong, no matter when or where they are.

A sudden slap on the head came out of nowhere, cutting them off from their thoughts.

A sudden jolt of pain made Jing Tian turn back instinctively, but upon seeing the pair of eyes brimming with rage before him, he stumbled back in surprise.

His aunt!

When did she appear?

I’m doomed.

This was likely the only thing on Jing Tian’s mind.

Seeing the fury on Gu Muqing’s face, Jing Tian could already anticipate his predicament; surely his aunt must have witnessed everything! I’m screwed...even in the past, regardless of how angry Gu Muqing had been, she never raised a hand against him in front of an outsider, especially not in front of his subordinates.

This time, things are serious!

Now, things had gotten really interesting. Jing Tian was helpless.

After giving Jing Tian a sound slap, Gu Muqing immediately walked up to Mu Lin and looked her over. Only after seeing that she was unharmed did she heave a sigh of relief. Abruptly turning back to glare at Jing Tian, she demanded, "This is how you take care of your sister-in-law? You’re practically killing her!"

Jing Tian: ... he suddenly felt unable to retort.

No one could imagine how petrified Gu Muqing was when she saw the bullet heading straight for Mu Lin’s face. She had been rooted to the spot in shock.

Her gaze fell on Zhang Qing, who was still kneeling on the ground. Her lips were pressed together tightly, her eyes unreadable.

If anything were to happen to Linlin, she would make her pay dearly.

She didn’t care if this was a military camp or not. She only knew that no one could bully the daughter-in-law who Gu Muqing had chosen. Anyone who wanted to give her a hard time would have to go through Gu Muqing first.

Zhang Qing’s injuries did not arouse a single shred of sympathy from Gu Muqing.

Thankfully Mu Lin was unscathed, otherwise, her son Chenchen would be devastated; Gu Muqing had never doubted Jing Chen’s feelings for Mu Lin.

Theirs was a family of feelings that ran deep. If any one of them chose a person to be their partner, they would persist in their choice until death.

Everyone looked at Mu Lin with stunned expressions.

If they were previously doubtful and guessing about the ’sister-in-law’ Jing Tian mentioned, now, they had no need for any doubts.

Gu Muqing’s identity in their military camp was beyond question. She was their leader’s wife and Jing Chen’s mother, so the implication in her words must mean...Mu Lin was the recognized daughter-in-law of the Jing Family!

The daughter-in-law of their highest-ranking officer, their captain’s sister-in-law. Zhang Qing had tried to kill such a person, what on earth was she thinking?

Wasn’t she interested in their captain? Shouldn’t she try to curry favor with Mu Lin, who was her sister-in-law? What an idiot, ruining her chances for a man like Ye Qing.

At this moment, nobody could possibly imagine that there were people who viewed Mu Lin as an imaginary adversary, a hated mistress. If they knew, their contemptuous gazes could crush her.

Undoubtedly, they were utterly foolish.

"Aunt..." Jing Tian approached Gu Muqing, cautiously extending his head, "how about...you hit me again? Hit me until you’re satisfied. I promise I won’t fight back." Sigh...all he could do was to atone like this.

Anyway, he had already lost face, he hardly cared about losing it further.

Seeing this side of Jing Tian, Gu Muqing was both angry and amused. She let out a cold snort and let it go for the moment, "I’ll deal with you later." Reflection settled in after the initial shock, a calm following the storm. Admittedly, she had acted on impulse.

But who was to blame for letting Linlin get into this state? She had only left for a little while to handle some affairs, and this happened.

As a member of the Jing family, if they cannot protect their family, they will meet with severe punishment, especially from their grandfather.

Gu Muqing would never forget, among the Jing family, the person who loved Mu Lin the most was their grandfather. Jing Tian surely was audacious.
