Chapter 627 See Me
âSettle what score? If you have the time, you should go look for your girlfriend.â Mai Qi was pulled from behind. It was my little uncle. Dogfood was everywhere.
We split up and searched for Jing Ni, following her last known movements.
In the end, Qu Hao found the unconscious Jing Ni in an inconspicuous residence. Mr. Li came to check on her. She had only been drugged and not poisoned. Everyone was relieved.
Catching Ma Ji was only the beginning. Behind her was Tong Hui. Since I was born, we were destined for this.
At night, when Jing Tian wanted to go home, Mr. Li suddenly came to us. âThat Tong Yan wants to see you.â He looked at me. âShe knows that Ma Ji has been captured by us, so she wants to see you. She said that she has something important to tell you.â
I was puzzled. âSomething important? What could it be? If she wanted to tell me something, why didnât she tell me earlier? Why did she wait until after Ma Ji was captured?â
Jing Tian replied, âThereâs no harm in listening to what she has to say.â He asked Mr. Li, âCan she still harm people now?â
With a proud expression, Mr. Li replied, âOf course not. If she can still do something like that, Iâd bring shame to all the witch doctors.â
It wasnât until we met Tong Yan that I understood why Mr. Li was so confident.
Tong Yanâs face was extremely pale, so pale that it felt transparent. She was locked in a specially made chair. She wouldnât feel uncomfortable, but she couldnât move either.
Seeing me, she smiled. âNanxing, youâre also of the Tong family. Why are you the Princess, but Iâm a slave and a prisoner? Youâre so lucky!â She sighed softly. âAs expected, people canât fight their destiny.â
I sat down opposite her. âYou brought me here to listen to your self-pity?â She glanced at Jing Tian. âI only want to talk to Nanxing. I donât want to see you.â
Jing Tian said expressionlessly, âI wonât give you the chance to be with Nanxing alone. If you want to say something, you can say it in front of me. If you donât want to, we can leave immediately.â
Tong Yan looked at him fixedly, her expression becoming more and more sorrowful. âDo you really love her that much? If Iâm prettier than her and richer than her, will you consider me?â
Jing Tian shook his head slightly. âThereâs no need for ifs. I wonât consider anyone other than Nanxing. Do you have any other questions? Iâll tell you the truth in front of Nanxing.â
Tong Yan moved a little. In the end, he gave a bitter smile. âJing Tian, do you know? If you had compromised when you were poisoned by me, we would have had a happy life together. Alas, I was not as crazy as Ma Ji, or else I wouldnât have ended up like this. Itâs my fault for not being ruthless enough.â
Jing Tian and I intertwined our fingers, ignoring her mumbling.
Tong Yan smiled wryly. âIn the end, Iâm the clown. I thought that I would finally be able to leave the Tong family and live a normal life. Who would have thought that all of this would be a dream? Nanxing, if I told you everything I know, would you let me live?â
I said indifferently, âYou can always decide your path. Mr. Li can cure your poison. He doesnât like people who misuse his tribeâs poison. Youâll be in pain, but your life will be saved. Are you satisfied with this result?â
The light in Tong Yanâs eyes flashed.
