âYuâer, does this matter have something to do with you?â Bai Ningâs voice sounded heavy, which rattle the girl greatly.
âWhy would you ask that Auntie Ning? What does this have to do with me?â
âAlright, I only hope thatâs the case. If I find out you are behind this incident then I wonât let you off even if Iâm the one who watched you grow!â
Due to the warning tone used there, Ning Yuâs jealousy only grew in kind. âAuntie Ning, I would never do such a thing.â
âI only hope thatâs the case.â Bai Ning gives a nod then gradually shifting her attention back to the madam: âSo you are not afraid of death?â
Not afraid of death? Of course not! Howâs that possible? In fact, the dirty looking madam has long been shaking in the legs due to fear. She wished she could confess the truth but couldnât.
Gritting those teethes: âSo what if Iâm afraid? Will you not kill me if I say yes?â
âTell me whoâs directing you then I will spare your life, otherwiseâ¦.â Mixed in her usual voice now was a chilling note, indicating Bai Ning meant exactly what she said there about the consequences.
Going white in the face over that threat, âThen you might as well just kill me!â
The madam wasnât some heartless ruthless killer like Ning Yu and her father. Compared to dragging her own family and son into this mess further, the woman would rather die alone in this case and spare her own loved ones.
âIf youâre not afraid of death then how about not being to die despite wanting to die?â Bai Ning continues to lead the conversation down a path she knew would strike fear.
Not being able to die despite wanting to die?
The middle-aged madam widens her eyes in shock, âWhat do you mean by that?â
âThe meaning is very simple, since you donât want to give out the mastermind then why donât I let you experience what it means to be pierced by a thousand knives?â Staring down at her prey with a devilish smirk, Bai Ningâs aura was bone chilling, a testimony to her true character when confronting an enemy.
Unable to die?
Pain of a thousand knives?
This woman can be that cruel?
âAuntie Ning!â Ning Yu quivered and cuts in. Sheâs afraid of the dirty looking madam spilling the beans due to fear at this moment. âIsnât that too cruel? Although she did frame Sister Bai Yan, but I believe having her pay with her life is enough. Being unable to die but canât is much too cruel of a fate for the crime she committed.â
Unmoved on the face, Bai Ning turns to face the girl, which sent shudders down Ning Yuâs heart and made her stop. Thatâs not a face Ning Yu has ever seen and itâs left her speechless.
âAre you sure you want to sacrifice yourself for that mastermind?â Bai Ning asks again after shutting the annoyance down.
The repeated asking did make the madam waver somewhat, but at the thought of her own son for the second time already, the madam knew she couldnât. âAll of this is done and orchestrated by me and me alone, thereâs no other people involved!â
Getting nowhere with her interrogation techniques, Bai Ning was about to get serious and draw her blade when Bai Yan stopped her with a raised handâ¦.
âYanâer, whatâs the matter?â She asks with a puzzled look.
âMother, I said Iâll take care of this, you just need to wait for me. I will make her talk.â
