Gu Wanrou suppressed her shock; the Emperor-Slaying Alliance was actually playing such a grand game.

The Dark Moon Organization and the power in Country Y were merely pawns in his plan.

Such a person has a mind that is far too deep and frightening!

It's truly unimaginable what the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is planning to do!

"Hahaha..." At this point, Shao Mengying seemed to recall something extremely pleasant, and laughed wildly as she said:

"Let me tell you the truth, Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou! Back then, besides Li Zhanfeng and the people in Mu Rou Manor who were poisoned with the Corpse Soul Poison, there were also Lin Wan'er and Dong Bihua, whom you, Gu Wanrou, hated the most! At that time, the Alliance Leader knew that Li Zhanfeng liked you, Gu Wanrou, so in order to restrain you and Li Zhanfeng, he asked me to come up with this trick to deal with you, so that you would live in hatred and pain for the rest of your lives."

Gu Wanrou felt as if her heart was being pounded, and she clenched her fingers: "Then why are you targeting Lin Wan'er?"

Lin Wan'er is just the eldest daughter of the Lin family in the capital. She has nothing to do with the Emperor Killing Alliance. Why would the Emperor Killing Alliance need to deal with her in such a complicated way?

"What's so hard to understand?" Shao Mengying's eyes suddenly turned terrifying. "It's because Lin Wan'er is a descendant of the Shao family!"

"The Alliance Leader hates the Shao family to the core, so when the Emperor-Slaying Alliance learned that Lin Wan'er was a descendant of the Shao family and that she was so fond of Li Zhanfeng, they pretended to help Lin Wan'er to deal with Li Zhanfeng. Because the Alliance Leader knew very well that, given Li Zhanfeng's personality, Lin Wan'er would definitely be tortured to the point of wishing she were dead by him, which would be more satisfying than killing her directly! Li Zhanfeng did not disappoint us!"

Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou stared in shock, their pupils widening, with Gu Wanrou's heart clenching with pain.

So, just how much did Li Zhanfeng secretly shoulder behind the scenes...?

Gu Momo looked at Gu Wanrou with concern, then suddenly raised her voice: "You're talking nonsense! Everyone knows that the Shao family perished in a fire many years ago, the entire Shao family was wiped out. Lin Wan'er is the eldest daughter of the Lin family in the capital, how could she possibly be a descendant of the Shao family? What, do you think we absolutely cannot touch the Emperor-Killing Alliance, so you're making up this nonsense?"

Towards the end, Gu Momo's voice carried a hint of mockery, but even more so, a probing tone.

Upon hearing this, Shao Mengying sneered and mocked, "I thought you were so smart, Gu Momo, but it turns out there are things in this world you can't investigate! Let me tell you, the actual number of deaths in the Shao family back then was much higher than the public knew. However, this included members of the collateral branches of the Shao family and even servants within the family. In addition, many of the bodies were unrecognizable, so the actual number of deaths and the identities of the deceased are very unclear. Since it's so unclear, it means there's even more room for manipulation!"

A deep shock flashed through Gu Momo's heart; she had guessed correctly after all!

The Shao family was one of the four major families in the capital. Even if the entire family was wiped out, it shouldn't mean that everyone of them died a violent death.

It's not impossible to escape using certain methods.

"So Lin Wan'er is a member of the Shao family who escaped back then? What about the rest of the Shao family?" Gu Momo's eyes flashed with a cold light. "If I'm not mistaken, the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance should be a member of the Shao family, right?"

Shao Mengying was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Momo to guess the identity of the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance. Then she laughed loudly:

"Hahaha... Gu Momo, I really underestimated you. I didn't expect you to even know this!"

"Lin Wan'er is just a branch of the Shao family, not a direct descendant, so she has almost no usable information."

"Based on the intelligence I have now, the few surviving members of the Shao family were all heavyweights in the family back then. What angers the alliance leader the most is that after these bastards escaped, they actually lived a life of shame and even rebuilt themselves into a powerful family, living a more glamorous life than anyone else!"

"Therefore, the alliance leader secretly infiltrated the powerful family they created long ago and has been scheming within it for decades. He is now a key member of that family, just waiting for the day he can re-implement his plan to exterminate the entire clan!"

Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou were shocked; they never expected things to develop this way.

The surviving members of the Shao family reorganized into a large clan, and the leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance secretly infiltrated the clan for more than ten years. This was destined to be a battle of wits and intrigue!

Gu Momo was well aware of the importance of this matter, and went straight to the point, asking:

"Which family has the Shao family established now? And who is the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance?"

Unexpectedly, Shao Mengying laughed sarcastically and said, "Heh, Gu Momo, aren't you overestimating me? Although I am the vice leader of the Emperor Slayer Alliance, who doesn't know that apart from the leader, the rest of the Emperor Slayer Alliance doesn't really have much real power?"

"These are the core secrets of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, even more confidential than your mother's affairs. How could I possibly know? Aren't you supposed to be so powerful? If you can't even find out these things, how can you expect to deal with the Alliance Leader? That's just wishful thinking!"

Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou fell silent for a moment, looked at each other, and seeing that the issues were almost resolved, slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your answer." A shadow fell beneath Gu Momo's long eyelashes. "I will ask my assistant about these matters. If you remember anything else important, please let me know."

As she spoke, she began to walk out of the prison.

As she watched Gu Momo's departing figure, Shao Mengying screamed wildly as if she had gone mad: "Gu Momo!"

"You can't leave! You still haven't told me how much longer I have to live? What will the Criminal Investigation Department do to me? Tell me now, I don't want to die, please plead for me, I've already done so much, you have to help me live!"

The screams and howls, filled with the fear of death, made Gu Momo stop in her tracks.

She turned to look at Shao Mengying, who was in a state of collapse, and said indifferently, "The Criminal Investigation Department's verdict is naturally determined by the law. As for how long you can live, that depends on your subsequent performance. Helping us eliminate the Emperor-Slaying Alliance is your only way out."

After saying that, she took a leisurely step and disappeared into the halo of light at the door.

From the prison behind them, only Shao Mengying's desperate screams of despair echoed: "Ahhhhh..."

After meeting with the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou quickly prepared to return to the Rong family in the capital.

In the car, Gu Wanrou looked through the Shao family's information and asked, "Sister Momo, how credible do you think her words are?"

Although Shao Mengying was emotionally broken, no one could guarantee that she wasn't faking it, since her thoughts were hard to fathom.
