My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Chapter 494: To Live or Die Part Three

“Won’t it work better and faster if I kill Yang Muyan? I am pretty good at killing people, and my success rate is 99.9%!”

Lu took out a dart from the pocket and tossed it without even looking at it. The dart landed in the middle of the wall several meters away and the clock on the wall dropped on the ground with a loud sound.

The dart had hit the nail on which the clock was hung, and the force made the nail embed deeply into the wall, making the clock drop onto the floor.

Jing Yiran was seriously injured, yet he could still move his head. He got frightened when he saw the scene.

Lu was so... skillful!

Lu had no change of expression after showing off her ability. Instead, she said coldly, “Also, given your current status, Yang Muyan might be the one that kills you if you show up in front of her, now. She is not as stupid as you are, and when she finds you in this weak state, she would kill you with just one stab of the blade.”

Jing Yiran looked at her mockingly. He still did not believe that Zhang Rong was killed by Yang Muyan.

Lu did not care if Jing Yiran believed her or not. What she needed to do was to pass on what she was asked to.

“Jing Zhongxiu said that Yang Muyan had not only killed your mother but also Jing Yichen’s men who protected Tang Yun in the USA. Then she made you take the blame so that Jing Yichen could hate you. But Jing Yichen was smarter than you. He was not trapped in her net.”

Jing Yiran did have some thoughts about what Lu had just mentioned.

At that time, he had suspected that Jing Yichen’s men were killed by Ji Bo’s men, but later, he realised that Yang Muyan might have been the culprit and that Ji Bo was simply aware of what had happened.

Jing Yiran knew how far Yang Muyan could go, so he listened in silence when Lu mentioned this.

Seeing that he was not protesting, Lu realized that he had been aware of the truth regarding this matter.

“This is rare. I thought that your brain was filled with shit, but it seems that you can think sometimes.”

Jing Yiran stayed silent. He was used to being scolded by Lu and had experienced how mean Lu could get verbally. If he swore back at Lu, he would get meaner words in return.

“Ah, I forgot. Your fiance, Shen Lingbing was also poisoned to death by Yang Muyan, otherwise you would have gotten married by now with a wife restraining you, making you smarter and keeping you alive. But Shen Lingbing’s death had a great deal to do with you as well. If you had not drugged her in the first place, Yang Muyan might not have had the opportunity to use that method to kill her.”

Startled, Jing Yiran shouted with eyes widely opened. “That’s impossible!”

Even if he said so, he had already somehow known this.

The cause of Shen Lingbing’s death had not been revealed till now. He had been investigating the cause for a long time just to get to the identity of the suspect, but the clues were lost after pointing at servants of the Shen Family and that made it impossible for him to go on with the investigation.

Although the murderer was not found, Jing Yiran knew Jing Yichen could not have killed Shen Lingbing.

Because that would not benefit anyone in the Jing Family. More so, Jing Yichen had been the one who picked Shen Lingbing. If he had picked the Shen Family, it basically meant that the Shen Family must be a loyal follower of them, one that would be under their control. The alliance would have been advantageous for both sides.

This meant that the benefit from Shen Lingbing’s death would have gone to Family Jing’s rival, either Ji Family or Yang Muyan.

No one else would have the ability to drug and kill the lady of the Shen Family without leaving any trace in such a cunning way.

Ji Family were not that smart or capable. The only person who could be so sinister was none other than Yang Muyan, the maniac.

“Oh my god, she must really be thirsting for revenge. I wonder who will be her next target? Oh yes, her next target must have been Shangguan Ning, but she failed the mission, because Shangguan Ning was lucky and survived. You are so stupid that you are being used by that woman in such a thorough way and you still have not become aware of the conspiracy!”

Lu’s cold voice echoed in Jing Yiran’s ears. After listening to all the facts put together, he started having doubts about Zhang Rong’s death for the first time.

Could his mother really have been framed and killed by Yang Muyan?

It was indeed how Yang Muyan would have done it.

She sets traps and makes others take the blame without leaving a trace!

No, he must not trust Lu so easily. She talked so much today only because she was trying to confuse him so that he could suspect Yang Muyan.

He must not get tricked so easily!

But no matter how much he fought the notion, he started to suspect Yang Muyan.

Jing Yiran would not ignore anyone who could be a suspect. Zhang Rong was his mother, no matter what she had been like, she was the only one who cared about him except for Mo Lan. He was definitely going to take revenge for her as a son.

If only he could escape from Lu, he would go and find Yang Muyan and get back that declaration. Then he would interrogate her to find out the truth.

Lu did not care about what Jing Yiran was thinking. All she wanted was to get back the contract!

After all, it had been her mistake that put Shangguan Ning in danger, and even if it had been her other version who did it, they shared the same body. The other Lu might be innocent, yet she was an adult, and she must take responsibility for her deeds.

“Jing Yiran, if you refuse to hand out the contract, I will use my worst method. I can drain out your blood so you become a real mummy. What do you think?”

Jing Yiran shivered!

Lu had an angel-like face but she talked like a monster.

Why had Lu been like this for four days in a row? Where was the innocent and kind Lu?

There was no threat in his house. It was very safe here. The other Lu should have come out by now!
