บท 266: Captive

Jiang Yue stared at Wu Minxia, her gaze unfathomable. Were they talking about the same Wang Ruo?

"Tell me about this conversation." she asked as her interest about this topic piqued. The possibility of her mother being alive is... It's just close to unbelievable.

"Well... I was just waiting for my face to heal when I heard Jiang Mian crying... she was talking to someone.. a man. I'm not sure if it was over the phone or a video call... I just listen outside of her room. So..."

"So Jiang Mian was arguing with the man, she said she wanted to have you killed as soon as possible. But the man said they cannot do it without the substitute. Without me."

"Then Jiang Mian started talking about how you killed your mother and how she should also kill your mother."

"But the man got angry and told her that the greatest revenge is letting you watch as... Wang Ruo treats Jiang Mian as a daughter."

Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at Wu Minxia, "And when did this happen?"

"About two months ago."
