What was more surprising was that Yun Xuerou was suddenly surrounded by mercenaries.
She looked around and spotted Huo Yunshen and Helian Qingyu among them.
It was then that Yun Xuerou finally realized sheâd been baited.
It was supposed to be her win. She couldâve tricked Jing Ruyue out and killed her, but in the end, she was actually the one being targeted.
And she had never expected that one of the people that was coming after her was someone she had raised for more than 20 years.
It was beyond her imagination that Jing Xi would actually disguise as Jing Ruyue and come in her motherâs place, and even now, she still had no idea that the Jing Ruyue standing in front of her wasnât the real one.
Huo Yunshen arrived at the canyon as soon as he got Jing Xiâs message and had been waiting in the dark for Yun Xuerou to appear.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Realizing that things were going sideways, Yun Xuerou ordered her guards to catch Jing Xi.
As Yun Xuerouâs guards inched towards Jing Xi, Huo Yunshen ran over and stood in front of his wife.
âIâll take care of them!â Huo Yunshen shouted.
âBe careful!â Jing Xi shouted back.
Hearing Jing Ruyueâs voice suddenly change, Yun Xuerou finally understood what was happening.
âYou arenât Jing Ruyue! Youâre Jing Xi!â Yun Xuerou scolded.
That was the only possible explanation Yun Xuerou could find.
âNot bad.â Jing Xi said with a smirk.
Huo Yunshen took care of the guards that were thinking about taking his wife like they were nothing more than a couple of insects.
âYun Xuerou! Iâll give you one more chance!â Jing Xi shouted. âTell me where my brother is, and you wonât suffer much!â
âDo you really think I expect that you will let me go?â Yun Xuerou scolded and turned to Helian Qingyu. âAre you siding with them? Against your mother?â
Helian Qingyu was not in the plan from the beginning; it was he who had volunteered to join them.
âYou better turn yourself in while you can. Itâs over now,â Helian Qingyu persuaded.
âYou bastard! How dare you betray your own mother! The Gods will punish you for it!â Yun Xuerou cursed.
Helian Qingyu turned away in pain and left the rest to Jing Xi.
âYun Xuerou! Itâs time to end this!â Jing Xi yelled.
Without giving Yun Xuerou any chance to react, Jing Xi rushed forwards and kicked Yun Xuerou to the ground. Jing Xi then kneeled on top of Yue Xuerou and began to slap her face back and forth.
The slaps did not stop until the blood had messed up Yun Xuerouâs face.
âTell me where my brother is!â Jing Xi scolded.
But Yun Xuerou only replied to Jing Xiâs question with laughs.
âWhat? You still want more, is that it?â
Jing Xi continued to hit Yun Xuerou, but the latter was not about to give up.
âYou will never meet your son if I die!â Yun Xuerou threatened while being hit.
âWhat?â
Jing Xiâs hands finally stopped.
