Chapter 261 - Secret (1/2)
”Princess Luana!” Jing Mo Ling shouted after a moment of silence.
Jing Mo Chen smiled, ”Mm.”
”Why did sister Mo Xi hide her identity?”
”To lure the mastermind out. The people behind all these planned little Xi and Ying Ying's death, and so if she wanted to get them out, the only way was to lure them with an even better identity.”
”What about the fake Mo Xi? Why did you keep her by your side, and why did you play along with her?”
”When the military officer woke up from the coma and said that Ru Hui Ya was innocent, Little Xi and I felt that something was a little wrong. The timing that the officer woke up and the activities of Poker seemed to be rather matching. After that, we guessed that the officer could be hypnotized to say all those things just so that someone from Poker's side could get in. We gathered as much information as we can together, and there were bits and pieces of information which made us worried. Little Xi told Zheng Yang, Feng, and Bo Cheng that should she or I be in any danger, they had to act as though they hated her because that way, we could see what Ru Hui Ya or the people behind her was up to. It was until the fake Mo Xi turned up that we could confirm what their plan was. From the multiple attempts that Ru Hui Ya made to hypnotize us, we confirmed that she wanted to turn the others against me, and she planned to remove Little Xi. The fake Mo Xi showing up was her attempt to get closer to me because she wanted me to be left alone, and so that way, she could be the only support I have in the military. To lure the mastermind out, we have to pretend that we don't know about their plans and play along. From today, we could see that we managed to lure the mastermind out, and they are Donovan and Zhou Dong.”
”What about the King and Queen of Country Y?”
”The past King and Queen had passed away as their health deteriorated. The current King and Queen should be the child of the past King and Queen.”
”Are they involved in the attacks of Poker as well?”
”They probably are. After all, their Grand Duke is making such a huge commotion. There is no way that they wouldn't know what was going on, and since they didn't interfere, then it meant that they agreed to it.”
Jing Mo Chen thought for a moment before answering, ”We are not very sure either. However, we think that the King and Queen don't know about what is going on. From the fact that the royal families laid low for so long, we can assume that the King and Queen have no interest in trying to make the royalties rise again. We can also assume that they do not care about state affairs since they aren't ruling the country. With this and the fact that the Grand Duke has high authority, we can believe that the Grand Duke could keep such information from the King and Queen easily. The Grand Duke could be the only point of contact the King and Queen have with the outside world. Hence, should the Grand Duke lied or hid anything from them, they wouldn't know either.”
This was probably the first time Jing Mo Chen spoke so much and at once. However, he needed to make everyone understand how important and how serious it was that they continued their act. That was why he was willing to explain everything to them and not let them question the fake Mo Xi.
Jing Mo Chen wanted to tell them about Xiao Lan Xi, Lu Qing Shi, and Sapphire Corporation. However, as the Lu family were around, he didn't want them to get overly anxious. Hence, he thought that he should wait till Mo Xi meets them before he tells them about Mo Xi being their descendants.
”Who is the fake Mo Xi?”
”Shen Yu Ning.”
