Yet just as sheâs about to make the killing blow, an old figure promptly got in-between her and the madam.
Bang!
Following that loud impacting noise, Dragon Flame lands a heavy blow onto Ning Yuâs chest, sending her flying out several feet away until she slams into a wall.
Pffff!
Twisted in the face, the girl kept puking blood as a result while staring death glares at her target still.
Understanding this was her chance, the madam cries out: âIt is she! She is the one who asked me to impersonate your mother. She wanted to drive you away from this woman! I only promised to do this because she offered me a lot of valuable things, but please spare my son, he is innocent!â
Badump!
Taking to her knees, the middle-aged madam didnât try to twist the story anymore and spilled everything.
âWhy didnât you expose her just now?â Happily placing the bead away, Bai Yan no longer needed it.
âSheâ¦â a flash of panic appeared in the madamâs eye then, âher father is still out there. If anything happens to the girl, her father will murder my entire family. I donât want my son to die, thatâs why I didnât out her earlier. Please forgive me, I never did anything thatâs truly damning here right?!â
Bai Yan couldnât hold back her scoffing sneer then because thatâs far from the truth. âDidnât do much? If my mother didnât trust me so much, wouldnât that mean Iâm screwed instead?â
Collapsing to the ground with strength leaving her body, the madam truly regrets it right now. âPlease, at least let me son go, I only ask you not hurt my family.â
âFine, I wonât hurt them, but I will make them lose their memories of you. Afterwards, they will never remember you again.â
Despite the pain hovering in the madamâs eye, she knew this was the greatest mercy sheâs going to get in this case.
âYanâer, that poisonous pill in your possession really is that effective?â Bai Ning comes in and ask, her eyes staring constantly at the spot where itâs being stored. âIf I feed that to my enemyâs son, will my enemy also be poisoned?â
Gawking in the face: âMother, I only tricked her just now, how can there be such a poison in this world?â
Bai Ning just stood there stunned, just like the madam whoâs dumbfounded on the floor. However, both women paled in comparison to the shock exploding out of Ning Yuâs eyes who kept staring straight towards the lady who deceived everyone!
What did she just say? She was lying earlier?
Scratching her nose at the added attention, Bai Yan felt embarrassed for some reason: âMother, you didnât really believe me just now right?â
Bai Ning literally twitched in the corner of her mouth because she didnât know to respond to her daughter. Seriously, who wouldâve thought that such an honest looking lady would be able to lie so thoroughly?
âYou⦠you were lying to me?â The madam stutters this out, her finger pointing and shaking from disbelief.
I actually exposed Ning Yu because of a lie?
Grinning mischievously: âIf I didnât do that, would you have revealed the mastermind? This is called tactics, tactics you understand? If you want to blame someone then blame yourself for being so gullibleâ¦.â Sure enough, Bai Yanâs statement left the madam more despairing than ever.
Ning Yu too, the girlâs also unable to process all of the information and just stared at Bai Yanâs face. Then once Bai Ning turned to look at her, the petite girl finally came back to her senses and pounced at the ladyâs leg.
