Jingchuan's gaze grew even sharper, and he clutched a glass on the table as if seeking support: "Speak."
Li Shaohua was breathing rather heavily; "As long as you promise to ensure the safety of my mother, I will tell you everything."
A wave of complex emotions surged up in Jingchuan's heart. He wanted to know the truth, but what he cared about more was Yuzhu's safety.
"I have already agreed."
Li Shaohua took a deep breath, striving for composure: "It was…"
The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, with Jingchuan's gaze as sharp as a knife, focused tightly on Li Shaohua. He did not want to miss a single word or sound.
Li Shaohua seemed to be feeling somewhat uneasy, but the thought of his mother's safety seemed to lend him courage once again.
"It was Shen Nian." His voice, although weak, was steadfast, "She not only saved my mother but also claimed that only she could ensure my mother's safety. She had me kidnap Jiang Yuzhu in order to threaten you."
