Song Ling couldn’t figure out how things ended up this way.
Previously, when Gu Dai was cold towards him, he consoled himself with the thought that since she had once liked him, she could surely come to like him again.
But now, he had learned she had never truly liked him. Her past affection was merely a reflection of someone else’s light.
All that Gu Dai had done for him was, in truth, meant for another.
Zhao Xuan, having witnessed the recent scene, dared not utter a word.
His phone rang at that moment, and amidst the chilling air, he shakily answered the call.
“A woman has entered the warehouse where Niu Shan is being held,” the voice on the other end reported.
A woman?
Before Zhao Xuan could respond, Song Ling snatched the phone from him.
“Never mind her for now. Switch the surveillance to my phone!” Song Ling ordered coldly.
In the next second, Jiang Yue’s figure flashed on the phone screen.
Song Ling’s expression darkened. After a deep glance at the Gu family’s main gate, he turned and got into the car, “To the warehouse.”
Zhao Xuan hurriedly complied, “Yes!”
Jiang Yue, fearing that Niu Shan might spill the truth under torture, grew increasingly anxious and restless.
After seeing her state, Jiang Lin commented, “You should have consulted me before acting. If I had known about your immature plan, I would have stopped you. And even if you did go through with it, you should have killed Niu Shan, not left him alive!”
Upon hearing Jiang Lin’s words, Jiang Yue felt even more agitated and came up with a plan to deal with Niu Shan. She took out the poison hidden in her home and headed to the warehouse where Niu Shan was confined.
She easily found Niu Shan and sighed in relief, “Good thing the guard was lax, or it would have been difficult to act.”
In the dim, damp room, filled with a heavy stench, Jiang Yue disdainfully put on a mask and kicked Niu Shan, “Take the medicine.”
On seeing Jiang Yue, Niu Shan cursed, “You finally decided to save me, you bit*h!”
Jiang Yue’s face darkened with the insult, but she knew this was not the time for anger, “Take the medicine!”
Niu Shan, sensing something amiss, asked warily, “What is this?”
Jiang Yue replied bluntly, “Poison.”
Niu Shan froze in disbelief, “I followed your orders, and now you want to kill me? I won’t take it, I refuse!”
Jiang Yue looked at him coldly, warning, “Don’t forget, I still have your family. If you don’t take it, they won’t live through the night.”
Niu Shan shouted, “Then kill them! I can always have another son, but I won’t die!”
Jiang Yue was stunned, her threat proving ineffective.
Niu Shan sneered, “You dare threaten me? Have you forgotten that you also have secrets I know?
Niu Shan vowed, “Once I get out, I’ll expose everything. I’ll tell the world how passionate the seemingly pure maiden you are in bed!”
Jiang Yue’s eyes turned cold, “You’ll need to be alive to tell. Luckily, your hands and feet are tied, or it would be difficult for me to act.”
Jiang Yue forced Niu Shan’s mouth open, ready to shove the pill inside.
Just then, the warehouse door was burst open. Song Ling strode in and kicked Jiang Yue to the ground, asking coldly, “What are you doing?”
Upon seeing Song Ling, Jiang Yue froze completely, her body trembling with fear to the point where she couldn’t even feel the pain anymore.
Her mind raced, trying to come up a lie, “I… I was scared by Niu Shan during the day and couldn’t sleep. So I came to kick him to vent my anger.”
Song Ling threw the phone at Jiang Yue, commanding, “See for yourself.”
Jiang Yue instinctively looked down at the phone. Seeing the footage, her eyes widened in disbelief. Realizing it was surveillance footage, she threw the phone away in terror.
Her voice trembled, “This… this…”
Song Ling looked at Jiang Yue with a complex gaze, “I had my suspicions about you, but I kept denying them in my heart, thinking there might be some misunderstanding because you saved me twice. But is this how you choose to reveal the truth?”
Jiang Yue cried, shaking her head, “Brother Song Ling, there must be some misunderstanding.”
Song Ling sneered, “The surveillance footage is right in front of us.. What misunderstanding could there be?”
