Chapter 155 - Brutal Truth (2/2)

Instead, she quietly accepted the accusation.

She had been wronged. Slandered against. And hurt.

And she took all of it. Her small body had to bear all of it.

She had been their favorite child! The child that had been treasured the most.

In an instant, their hearts had become overwhelmed with guilt and self-recrimination.

However, Wen Nuan wasn’t the only one who couldn’t handle the truth. Jian Shuxing also felt that the truth was suffocating him.

Jian Yiling’s obedience had turned into hundreds of sharp thorns that pierced deep into their hearts.

One by one.

The ends of those thorns were like needles. They cut deep into their hearts and drew blood.

Jian Yuncheng’s fists were clenched tightly together. The veins that ran across the back of his hands had risen up.

“Where is Yiling right now?” Jian Yuncheng asked. His voice sounded low and depressed.

In the face of their pain, the man still responded professionally:

“Miss Jian has other matters to deal with. Young Master Yuncheng, you don’t have to worry about her.”

“Who are you guys?” Jian Yuncheng asked. If he wanted to figure out the whereabouts of Jian Yiling, he had to first figure out the ident.i.ty of the people in front of him.

The man smiled slightly before responding, “Miss Jian is doing a favor for my Master. In return, she requested us to help her retrieve the evidence that would prove her innocence.”

The man didn’t directly tell Jian Yuncheng who they were. However, from his manner of speaking, Jian Yuncheng could tell that his ‘Master’ was not a simple person.

However, that wasn’t the main focus of the Jian family right now. They wanted to know where Jian Yiling was. They wanted to know whether or not she was safe.

“Furthermore, Miss Jian said that for now, there’s no need to tell Jian Yunnao.”

The man in the suit did as he was told. He repeated Jian Yiling’s exact words.

There’s no need to tell Jian Yunnao…

There’s no need…

Even at this moment, it seemed as though Jian Yiling still didn’t want to completely destroy Jian Yunnao.

She still wanted to give him a glimmer of life.

She wanted to wait until he recovered. Until he regained his hope. Then, she was going to tell him the b.l.o.o.d.y truth.
