AMRWFA -Chapter 358 Heh, Men

But it was also true that Zhang Qiming didn’t like Bali Si. So what if she was beautiful? She was too easy to get—like something picked up for free. There was no challenge at all.

A “white moonlight” was different. His white moonlight wasn’t as beautiful as Bali Si, but he had never gotten her. Then when he met Xiong Yanping, he discovered she looked very similar to his white moonlight, and that instantly moved his heart.

Xiong Yanping wasn’t a “good woman” in the traditional sense. She wasn’t gentle or innocent. She knew exactly why Zhang Qiming was pursuing her, and she stayed with him for one reason only—money.

Zhang Qiming paid generously, and she was willing to let him “support” her. Whether they married or not didn’t matter, as long as the money kept coming.

So Zhang Qiming’s houses, cars, and living expenses were all fully covered. When Xiong Yanping was happy, she even had a child with him—just for that “huge” education fund.

Thus, Zhang Qiming lived two completely different lives at once—one as a struggling couple with Bali Si, and one as a money-based arrangement with Xiong Yanping.

If nothing unexpected had happened, he might have lived like that forever.

But an accident came. His money wasn’t clean, and the “big brother” above him stopped protecting him. Zhang Qiming fell—and died during a crackdown on organized crime.

Zhang Qiming wasn’t a big figure anyway, just a small pawn pulled along the chain. And since Bali Si was the woman officially on record, any investigation would naturally fall on her first.

Xiong Yanping, on the other hand, escaped unscathed.

Bali Si actually didn’t know what Zhang Qiming did. She only thought he worked as some kind of “security guard,” doing odd jobs here and there, unstable work with little money.

Her hands were clean, and that was the end of it.

Or perhaps it was the force of the “plot,” because things simply twisted away like that—Bali Si learned from one of Zhang Qiming’s so-called “brothers” how he died, and wanted revenge for her man.

And that was how everything reached the present.

“You’re lying! You must be lying!”

Bali Si’s scream was piercing. Bali Si covered her ears, and only after she calmed down did she slowly speak:

“Why would I lie to you? What would I gain from lying? I’m a fortune-teller, not the police. I don’t need evidence. If you don’t believe it, just take the child’s hair for a DNA test. You’re not short of Zhang Qiming’s belongings—just test it and you’ll know if they’re father and son.”

At this point, she paused.

“Although… aren’t you now in love with my third son? Why are you still hung up on the past? If you can’t let go of your old feelings, why are you pursuing my third son? Don’t tell me it’s for revenge?”

Her gaze locked onto Bali Si as if piercing straight into her heart.

Bali Si suddenly felt exposed. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I used to like someone else, but now I like your son—what’s wrong with that? If I didn’t like him, I would’ve said so. Why would I need to explain all this?”

Ruan Yaoyao shrugged.

“Nothing. I just feel a bit sorry for you. You’ve been played by a man from a garbage dump, tsk tsk tsk…”

She casually listed a few addresses, telling Bali Si to investigate carefully which women were connected to Zhang Qiming.

Also, she warned her not to be so easily misled. Zhang Qiming died at her son’s hands, but only because he resisted arrest. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been shot.

Her son was a soldier—he was on a mission.

Since he was carrying out an arrest operation, then what exactly was Zhang Qiming when he resisted?

“You studied all those years—don’t waste your education. Go reread the Criminal Law. Don’t treat the law like it’s a joke.”

“And whoever told you this so-called ‘truth’ is definitely not a good person.”

“Don’t be foolish enough to be sold and still help count the money.”

……

Ruan Yaoyao was certain that the person who had “influenced” Bali Si—the so-called “good brother” of Zhang Qiming—was suspicious.

【Otherwise, her third son was on a mission and must have been masked. How did that person recognize him?】

【How did they know Zhang Qiming was killed by him specifically, and not by any of the other agents on the same operation?】

【There were so many people—unless he was familiar with her son, how could he identify him among masked special forces?】

Ruan Yaoyao thought coldly:

【Either there was an internal leak that day—an undercover agent among them—or this whole thing was orchestrated by intruders.】

【Only intruders could be this pervasive.】

She immediately asked Ru Anzhi to report it to his superiors and investigate where Bali Si got her information. If there really was a mole, that would be disastrous.

That would mean something very serious: the previous anti-crime crackdown hadn’t been thorough enough—there were still hidden “big tigers.”

Ru Anzhi finally let out a long breath of relief.

Great—he was saved!

But wait… wasn’t the woman’s “cheat ability” still unresolved?

When he turned around, he saw his mother Ruan Yaoyao already walking far ahead. He quickly followed.

“Mom, wait for me!”

As soon as they got into the car, Ru Anzhi tried to sit beside her, but she blocked the door.

“What are you doing sitting here? Go sit in the back!”

“Mom, Sister Zhihé already gave me this seat.”

“Why did she give it to you? Let her come back. You sit in the back. Everything’s a mess these days. I don’t want you near me—you might get me killed. Stay away from me from now on. And stay away from Shishi too. You’re cursed with peach blossom luck—everyone close to you ends badly.”

Ru Anzhi froze. “Mom… are you scaring me? I really have bad peach blossom luck?”

Ruan Yaoyao looked at the dazzling “peach blossom aura” above his head and said angrily:

“You’ve got so many blossoms above your head they’re practically a forest! Do you think that’s normal? Other people have rotten peach blossoms—you? You’ve got a peach blossom disaster! It’s like you’re Tang Sanzang on pilgrimage—trial after trial, endless calamities!”

“People only have eighty-one tribulations, but yours? I don’t even know how many you’ve got. Just stay away from me. I don’t want to see you right now. Seeing you gives me a headache.”

“Before I only thought your peach blossoms could be trimmed—but now? This isn’t trimming anymore. It’s so red I should burn it down…”

“Just don’t know if it can even be burned clean!”

“This… this serious?!” Ru Anzhi stiffened. “It wasn’t this bad before!”

“It’s new! Who am I supposed to ask?” Ruan Yaoyao snapped.

“I don’t know how those intruders locked onto you so fast!”

“I can’t trim faster than they can plant them! Until I find a better solution, I’m staying far away from you.”

“The Xu family is already miserable enough. If we’re not careful, your peach blossoms will turn us all into cannon fodder!”

Ru Anzhi had no choice but to get out of the car.

He originally wanted to call Liang Shishi over to talk about their situation, but she simply replied:

“We don’t have anything going on. There’s nothing between us.”

“How can there be nothing? My mom said—”

Before he could finish, she cut him off: “You like me, I rejected you. Done.”

Ru Anzhi: “……”

That’s not what he meant!

He meant his destined match—his fate partner!

But looking at Liang Shishi’s firm refusal, he understood.

She had no intention of getting involved in his mess.

Well… with his level of peach blossom chaos, even his “destined match” wouldn’t want to get dragged down.
