CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 428: JIN WEN DID IT

It’s Jin Wen!

These people must have been instigated by Jin Wen!

Mo Liu, unfamiliar with life in Capital City, led a simple daily life. Besides her and Shangguan, Zhang Jie, and a few others, she hardly had any friends. It’s only in these recent months since meeting Jin Yan that she made a local friend.

Previously, she thought Mo Liu was a man and Jin Wen wouldn’t target him, but now it’s clear, this woman is a psychopath!

Sisi almost wanted to slap herself twice, she had been too careless! It was her fault that Mo Liu was harmed.

As she suspected Jin Wen was behind this, Sisi also resented Jin Yan, saying coldly, "Police? Are the police useful? How many people innocently die in this city each year, yet do the police catch those murderers?"

Sisi sneered internally, not to mention the countless lives lost at the hands of your sister Jin Wen because of you!

Jin Yan was taken aback by Sisi’s harsh tone, sighed, and chose not to speak further, perhaps assuming Sisi was agitated because Mo Liu was in trouble.

Sisi no longer paid him any attention, walked up to Li Heizi, and by now, she remembered who these two people were. After ten years, she didn’t expect that they had made a name for themselves in kidnapping and murder.

"Li Heizi, who instigated you?"

Li Heizi was surprised, not expecting Sisi to recognize him. He looked at her suspiciously, but Sisi was just a ten-year-old girl back then and had grown much since, and Li Heizi didn’t recognize her at all.

Li Heizi kept his mouth shut, as there are rules in their line of work about not revealing the secrets of their employers, or else no one would hire them again.

"When is the final payment?"

Sisi didn’t bother asking who was behind it anymore, directly inquiring when the final payment would be made.

Li Heizi still kept his mouth shut, but Shangguan immediately rushed over, grabbed his left hand, and with a pull and a tug, a ’snap’ was heard, and his hand went limp, causing Li Heizi to break out in cold sweat from the pain.

"I will ask you four times, dislocating one limb each time, by the time the four limbs are gone, only your head will be left to dislocate," Sisi spoke gently, but her words carried an icy chill.

"Second time." As soon as Sisi finished speaking, another ’snap’ echoed, and Li Heizi’s right hand went limp; he felt like dying would be better at this point, but even death couldn’t save him from this pain.

"Third time."

Just as Shangguan was about to dislocate his left leg, Li Heizi begged for mercy, "I’ll talk, tomorrow morning at ten, the other party will come to inspect the goods, and if the person is dead, they will make the final payment."

"Then we’ll just wait here, and when we catch the mastermind, we’ll know who is after Ah Liu," Zhang Jie said.

Sisi nodded, turned to Jin Yan, and said, "Jin Yan, you must not miss tomorrow, we’ll still need your help!"

Jin Yan didn’t understand the implications of her words, thinking she was relying on the power of the Jins, and immediately nodded, "I’ll definitely be there, if I find out who’s harming Ah Liu, I’ll tear them to pieces."

"I hope you can keep your word," Sisi said with a light laugh.

Sisi fed a few sips of Qiong Wine to the severely injured, keeping them alive, not letting them die too easily.

After Jin Yan left, Zhang Jie asked, "Sisi, what was that about? You were speaking in a weird tone, did Jin Yan do something wrong?"

"I suspect that Ah Liu’s trouble is caused by Jin Wen," Sisi said.

Zhang Jie and Shangguan Ju changed their expressions, Zhang Jie shook her head in disbelief, "Impossible, Jin Wen and Ah Liu never even spoke; why would she want to hurt Ah Liu? She has no motive for murder!"

Sisi sneered: "How can you say there’s no motive? Jin Yan is the best murder motive."

"What do you mean?" After Zhang Jie asked, she seemed to think of something. Her mouth hung open wide for a long time, her teeth chattering uncontrollably out of extreme shock.

"It’s exactly what you’re thinking."

Sisi nodded gently, Zhang Jie calmed down, saw that Sisi was serious and not joking. At this moment, she started to believe a bit, but felt nauseous at the thought.

"Does Jin Yan know about this?" Zhang Jie asked again.

"He has no idea. If he knew, would I let him off this easily?"

Shangguan listened to their back and forth, growing more confused the more she heard. Annoyed, she kicked the ground forcefully, creating ’thud thud’ sounds to express her dissatisfaction.

Sisi comforted her by patting her hand, signaling her not to be angry, "We’ll talk about it over dinner."

Sisi got blood on her clothes and needed to change. Shangguan and Zhang Jie stayed behind, while she went back to change and grab something to eat, later bringing some food for them.

After changing her clothes, Sisi reheated the dinner, then headed to the hospital first, Mo Liu was in emergency surgery.

"Brother Yang, is Ah Liu out of danger?" Sisi handed the food to Yang Shu.

"Thankfully, your medicinal wine helped treat Ah Liu’s injuries beforehand. The doctor said although it looks scary, the injuries are external and not life-threatening as long as the broken bones are properly set," Yang Shu stated.

Sisi sighed with relief and told Yang Shu that she would first return to the abandoned mansion to wait for the mastermind behind tomorrow’s scheme.

"Wait for me a bit, I’ve asked my cousin to replace me, I’ll come with you there to keep watch," Yang Shu said with concern.

Yang Wenbin’s youngest son, Yang Zhikun, came to replace Yang Shu. Yang Zhikun, a senior college student with glasses, was the spitting image of his father. After giving some brief instructions, Yang Shu hurried off with Sisi to where Shangguan was.

The abandoned mansion had been uninhabited for a long time and lacked heating. Everyone felt terribly cold until Yang Shu dismantled some old furniture inside to start a fire, which warmed them significantly.

The next day, Jin Yan arrived early, bringing steaming hot breakfast for everyone, even including Li Heizi and his group.

Sisi couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions. These two siblings, one a blood-stained demon and the other as pure as a Snow Lotus, she wondered what the heavens were thinking to bring these two together into this tragic connection.

As ten o’clock approached, Sisi warned Li Heizi and the others, then hid in a concealed spot while Shangguan and Mo Liu, having similar builds, lay on the ground pretending to be Mo Liu’s corpse.

Before long, a middle-aged male voice rang out, "How did things go?"

Sisi kept her eyes on Jin Yan’s face. Jin Yan seemed shocked, showing a look of disbelief.

At this, Sisi finally let go of the heavy stone in her heart; it was indeed Jin Wen, it seemed this man must be from the Jins, an elder of the Jins even, or Jin Yan wouldn’t have such a reaction.

Li Heizi smiled obsequiously, "You still worry about how I, Li Heizi, handle things? Dead as can be, why don’t you, old man, come check the merchandise yourself?"

The man was silent for a while, then walked towards the ground where Shangguan lay, Li Heizi followed him with a heart full of fear, worried that the man would notice something amiss.

As the man reached out to turn Shangguan’s shoulder to see the front of the supposed corpse, Shangguan suddenly leaped up.
