Ye Lingzhi had a mini-breakdown when she revealed everything that had happened that year, that incident that she had long buried in her heart. That was the one event in the past that she did not want to revisit the most.

  Ye Lingzhi now truly regretted wasting all her wits to snatch a man for herself—yet that man turned out to be useless. Now she had fallen into this pit hole. Who could she blame in the end? It was her problem for not having a discerning eye.

  Yan Qingsi stood up wildly when she heard Ye Lingzhi’s words. If Ye Lingzhi and Yan Songnan really had no intention of killing her mother, then how did she died?

  Yan Qingsi wanted to walk out. She heard Yue Tingfeng ask, “If you two did not think of murdering her, how did she die? Could it be…… someone else sabotaged her?”


  Ye Lingzhi did not know much, but whatever she said already made a shiver run down Yue Tingfeng’s spine.

  The buried truth of what had happened that year was even more terrifying than he could ever imagine!

  Ye Lingzhi shook her head. She had gone green around the gills. “You said it yourself, not me. Even I cannot explain everything that had happened that year clearly,” she said, “All I know is that someone wanted her dead, and Yan Songnan and I were the weapons wielded in someone else’s hands. Someone did not want to let her live. That necklace was proof of her heritage…… As for who she really was, I don’t know. I really don’t know any more than that.”


  “I could not care less when Nie Qiuping died. At that time, I thought that it was good that she was dead, so I didn’t have to worry so much anymore. I didn’t expect that with Nie Qiuping’s death, she left a child more terrifying than a demon behind, Yan Qingsi.”


  Hatred sunk deep into Ye Lingzhi’s expression at the mention of Yan Qingsi’s name.

  She stared at the silhouette behind the screen. “No matter what, it was me and Yan Songnan who tried to look for someone to humiliate Nie Qiuping in the beginning,” she said viciously, “I cannot completely push the blame away for her death, but claiming that I was the only cause…… Yan Qingsi, just come for me since you want to kill me. Don’t cause trouble for my son any longer. Our family is going to die from madness. I don’t have anything to live for anymore. Just come and kill me.”


  Ye Lingzhi knew that Yan Qingsi was here, so she provoked her on purpose. She had already crumbled inside; she suddenly felt that death would really set her free.

  Yan Qingsi slowly walked into view. Not a single wave of emotion rippled across her calm expression. “I won’t let you die,” she said, “I’ll give you a taste of something worse than death!”


  When all the fury in the world could not express how she felt at the moment, Yan Qingsi’s calmness and steadiness were even more terrifying.

  Now she only knew how twisted and vile Yan Songnan and Ye Lingzhi had been that year. Even if they had no intention of murdering her mother that year, it was only right that they were murdered.

  Yan Qingsi gathered nearly all her wits to control herself from lashing out now and choking Ye Lingzhi to death.

  “Qingsi, calm down.” Yue Tingfeng stood up and clasped Yan Qingsi’s hand.

  “I can find the best doctor to treat your son,” he said to Ye Lingzhi, “I can let him have the best treatment and the best medicine, but on one condition.”


  “What condition?” Ye Lingzhi asked cautiously.

  Yue Tingfeng could completely confirm now that the mastermind had direct contact with Ye Jiangong. All these years, Yan Songnan and Ye Lingzhi were mere pawns sacrificed in their stead.

  This secret had actually been hidden for so many years. That mastermind…… It was clear that their mind was terrifying and twisted.

  “When you get back to the Ye family estate, find out the whereabouts of the necklace from Ye Jiangong, and find out who is the mastermind who is keeping contact with Ye Jiangong,” Yue Tingfeng answered. “Of course, you can refuse to do it…… But your son won’t even be a vegetable anymore.”
