Chapter 527 - THE OUTCOME (1/2)

Elder Madam Han smirked. ”What's the hurry? I've told you everything, but you don't seem to want to share the reason you are here? That's fine too. I mean, only a fool wouldn't understand why you two are here.”

Her relaxed tone gave the duo chills. They couldn't help but shiver.

Tang Yujin tried to stay calm. ”What do you mean? I don't understand what you are trying to say.”

Behind them, four bodyguards stood near the door, guarding them.

'Oh shoot! We are surrounded.' Han Luo finally noticed. She was so swamped with her grandfather's death that she didn't notice anything up until now.

In the blink of an eye, they were captured and tied up. Afterward, they were taken to a dark, cold room.

Elder Madam Han stared at the pitiful couple and sneered.

”Don't think I don't know. You are still kids. You need enough knowledge and experience to go against someone like me.”

She glanced at Han Luo and continued, ”Xiao Luo, you've recognized me the moment you saw me, didn't you? Why didn't you greet me? Were you thinking that you were in front of a ghost?”

She laughed at her own joke.

Han Luo's face turned pale. Her hands were tied back and she was forced to kneel on the cold floor. It was uncomfortable. Even so, she did her best to stay calm.

”How did you realize it's us?” she asked.

Elder Madam Han crossed her arms. ”How can I not know? Did you think my men weren't keeping an eye on Song Li? I already knew you would be coming. I was waiting for you patiently.”

'So, she knew everything and pretended to act along. We were fooled by her award-winning acting.'

Han Luo wanted to kick herself. 'I guess I will ask her some questions since we are busted anyway. Hopefully, she will answer.'

”Why did you pretend to be dead and hide yourself? Is this related to the drug?”

Sitting in front of them, Elder Madam Han thought, 'What's the point in hiding? They will die soon. No one will be able to find their dead bodies here. The police will never find this place.'

She answered in a relaxed tone, ”I was seriously ill. I got addicted to the drug I've created. I asked your grandfather to make it look like I was dead.

”Your grandfather loved me dearly. Understanding the situation, he agreed to help.”

Han Luo scanned her up and down.

She commented, ”You seem better now.”

Elder Madam Han proudly raised her chin. In her eyes, everyone was beneath her.

”Of course, I made an antidote for the drug. But, I couldn't come to the light as I started selling the drugs in order to have enough material for the antidote. Before I knew it, I became obsessed with money and power.”

Han Luo narrowed her eyes.

”You are telling us everything. Are you sure we won't tell others?”

Elder Madam Han stated the obvious, ”Deadman tells no tale, and I don't believe in supernatural stories.”

Tang Yujin frowned. ”You think you will get away with this?”

He was thinking, 'She is planning to kill us and leave no evidence. Surely the police officers won't find this basement if they don't know the house's structure.'

Han Luo bit down her lower lip in frustration.

'Let's just buy some time,' she decided.

”Grandfather… is he really dead?” she inquired.
