Chapter 98 Needs Time to Grow
Wan Qiong trembled from the angry roar, her voice shaking. But thinking about her current predicament, she couldn't let the third miss of the Wan family experience jail, or she would become a laughingstock upon returning to Mingcheng.
"Elder Weng, I've been framed and sent to jail. Please help me. I still have work to finish."
Wan Qiong deliberately emphasized the word "work," hoping the other party wouldn't forget her many years of dedication.
"Hmph, quite bold."
*Snap*
The sound of the phone being hung up again sent Wan Qiong into a frenzy.
Everyone treated her this way, like a disposable piece of trash. She had never married, never had children, what had it all been for?
Chen Tianming was delighted to see the woman spiraling into madness. His efforts were finally paying off, and he was one step closer to completing the first mission assigned by his leader. He was closer to regaining everything he had lost.
"Do you want to call again? If not, go back and rest. You're just wasting your energy. You're a discarded old dog, not even given a chance to roll over."
Wan Qiong's furious gaze at Chen Tianming seemed to freeze the air, but Chen Tianming simply sneered.
"Let's go. Glaring at me won't make a hair fall out. Let this dog escort you to rest."
Ye Shenggē drew a relationship map in her notebook. She finally heard Ye Huailin's voice and even got the name of Elder Weng. But the more Ye Shenggē looked, the more uneasy she felt. How complicated was the original owner's background? Did she have the ability to resolve it all?
Ye Shenggē knew she wouldn't get any more clues from Wan Qiong anytime soon. Moreover, she was feeling very unsettled and needed quiet to think.
She was just an ordinary person now, a pitiable orphan. What should she do when facing these people? Should she bravely approach unknown dangers, or find a safe place to hide?
Wuwuwu, she really wanted to find her dad, her mom, her brother. She was too pathetic. The enemies were too powerful. She needed time to grow. She didn't want to be crushed by the enemy before she could even grow. She cherished her life.
Ye Shenggē wandered to the haunted house. Only here was it quiet and safe. She needed to collapse for a bit.
As Ye Shenggē approached the yard entrance, she saw that the lock had been opened. Her heart tightened, and a bit of the pent-up frustration from earlier surfaced. She took out a stun baton from her spatial dimension, and then, still uneasy, took out a packet of knockout drugs. She had to take the first step bravely and overcome danger.
Ye Shenggē psyched herself up, her body tense. She carefully pushed the door open and went inside, even locking it behind her. No matter who was inside today, she wouldn't let them off, she would be assertive for once.
She first walked to the woodshed door, cautiously peeking inside. Seeing that the secret passage's hatch had been lifted, she quickly ran in and scattered the knockout drugs inside.
Ye Shenggē thought that if the people inside were bad, it was only right they were knocked out. If they were people associated with the original landlord, they should be knocked out too, as they had broken their promise by entering the house.
Ye Mu'en heard the sound from the secret passage and prepared to rush out. But as soon as his foot touched the first step, he detected an attack. He immediately held his breath and leaped outside.
This terrified Ye Shenggē. She thrust the stun baton in her hand out as fast as she could.
However, Ye Mu'en recognized the face before him at first glance. Before he could even express joy, he saw what was being thrust at him. He turned and caught the handle of the stun baton.
"Xiao Ge'er!"
