Jiang Cheng's nose stung with tears. "Young Madam, I'm so sorry..."

"Of course you've wronged me." Qiao Wanwan gave a bitter smile. "You controlled everything, but kept Jingting and me in the dark. You stole my children, separated me from them for many years, and now one of my children is still missing!"

"Jiang Cheng, I'm not here to settle scores with you today. I just want you to tell me what my child looks like, whether he was very fragile when he was born, and whether he needed me, his mother, very much." Qiao Wanwan's tears fell uncontrollably. "Tell me, tell me!"

Jiang Cheng forced himself to his feet and knelt directly before Qiao Wanwan. "Young Madam, I...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry to the young master and to you..."

“When the two children were born, I took them away. The older one is the Eleventh one who is with you now. The younger one was very weak and even the hospital couldn’t do anything about it.”

"I have no choice but to send him to the Meng family in Suzhou. Even if it exposes my identity, I have to ask them to cure the child. The young master was not destined to die. He really snatched his life back from the clutches of the King of Hell. I have no way to keep him by my side, so I can only leave him at the gate of the orphanage."

Qiao Wanwan felt a pang of heartache, as if she were suffocating. "Are you sure you left the child at the entrance of that Youai Orphanage? You left the child after putting him down, didn't you see the orphanage staff take him inside?"

“I left the child there just before dawn, around five in the morning. I thought the people at the orphanage would find out soon, so I didn’t linger and left immediately.”

"You've gone too far!" Qiao Wanwan suddenly stood up, glaring at him with uncontrollable anger. "He's so young! Even if you're going to abandon him, you should at least make sure he's taken in by someone from the orphanage! Have you even considered what would happen if something unexpected happened?"

“Young Madam, I have my reasons…” Jiang Cheng said painfully, “Both children look exactly like the young master. They were born exactly like him. You can tell how good their genes are.”

Qiao Wanwan cried uncontrollably, "I know you're not afraid of death, but if anything happens to my child, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death. And the person behind you, I don't care who he is, I will never let him go!"

Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the girl with bloodshot eyes. "Young Madam, listen to my advice. Don't even say such things. You can't win against him!"

"Just because you can't win doesn't mean you can give up. Just because you can't win doesn't mean you can't avenge the separation of mother and son. Not to mention he imprisoned my master for many years!" Qiao Wanwan sneered. "You're not afraid of death, and neither am I. I will definitely avenge this!"

Qiao Wanwan leaned down and grabbed his shirt, a playful smile playing on her lips. "Eleven has been healed. He desperately needs Eleven's blood to save himself, so he'll definitely act quickly, won't he?"

"Furthermore, now that you, his lackey, have been arrested, he probably won't be able to contain himself and will come to the capital in person!"

Jiang Cheng tried his best to remain calm, but he couldn't help but nervously swallow.

Qiao Wanwan may seem delicate, but the coldness and decisiveness she exudes are quite shocking to him!

Qiao Wanwan didn't say anything more, let go of him, and turned to leave.

Stepping out of the Zhan family's old residence, Qiao Wanwan turned around and glanced at the luxurious villa before taking out her phone and making a call.

"Boss." Xiang Yang answered quickly.

"Did I disturb your rest?"

"No, is there something you need from me?"

“Jiang Cheng has been found, and I estimate that his mastermind will appear soon as well. I need people to work for me.”

Xiang Yang asked curiously, "Boss, didn't you and Master Zhan have a serious talk? In terms of manpower, who can compare to Master Zhan?"

“Although Jiang Cheng hasn’t revealed the mastermind, we can now be fairly certain that it’s Jing Ting’s grandfather,” Qiao Wanwan analyzed. “I believe in Jing Ting’s love for me, but this is, after all, his family. If he can’t bring himself to do it, then I will take action.”

"I understand, you're just doing this as a precaution."

"Yes, this mastermind caused my family to be separated from me and my master to be imprisoned for many years. I will never let him get away with this, not even if he is Jingting's relative!"

“Boss, those guys who were secretly helping us before are pretty reliable. It won’t be difficult to recruit them. I’ll handle it.”

"Okay, I'll leave this to you. If possible, try to find as many people as possible."

"I understand." Xiang Yang instructed, "Boss, since the mastermind is about to appear, you must be extra careful."

Don't worry.

When Qiao Wanwan returned to Wutong Bay, Ruan Tang immediately greeted her, "I heard you went to see Jiang Cheng? Did he say anything?"

"No."

Ruan Tang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, even Brother Jingting couldn't get anything out of you, so what good would it do you go?"

"Did I say I was going to question him?" Qiao Wanwan said coldly. "Jiang Dong is loyal to Jing Ting. Even if it's just to give him face, I still have to go and check on Jiang Cheng's injuries."

"Cousin, aren't you a bodhisattva? Isn't being a saint your true nature? What, you think I shouldn't heal his wounds?"

Ruan Tang: "......"

"Sister-in-law, I really don't know where I offended you, that you have to talk to me so sarcastically."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't try to cause trouble. I won't come looking for you. Think about it carefully. When have you ever been the one to interrupt? Do you even have the right to interrupt in this family?"

Ruan Tang: "......"

"I'm giving you a huge favor by calling you 'sister-in-law,' but that doesn't mean you can lecture me!"

Qiao Wanwan looked behind her, "Jing Ting, you're here?"

Ruan Tang's face paled, and she quickly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's understandable that you're upset and have to say a few words to me. I shouldn't have argued with you. I'm sorry."

Qiao Wanwan burst out laughing, "You must be a master of face-changing, right? It's just a pity I was lying to you, your Jingting brother isn't here at all."

Ruan Tang turned her head and saw that Zhan Jingting was indeed not there, but Ruan Wanyi was standing there, looking at her with an indescribable expression!

Ruan Tang's face turned pale with anger. "Sister-in-law, how could you lie to me!"

"If I don't lie to you, how will Mom know that you act one way in front of Jingting and another way behind his back?"

Ruan Tang bit her lower lip, "Aunt..."

Qiao Wanwan stopped there, saying, "Mom, I'm going upstairs now."

"Go."

After Qiao Wanwan left, Ruan Wanyi also turned around and went back to her room.

Ruan Tang hurriedly chased after her, "Auntie..."

Ruan Wanyi closed the door and looked at her seriously. "Wanwan can be stubborn at times, but she is frank and says what she thinks, which is not a bad thing. At least I know she won't hide any ulterior motives."

“I always thought you were a frank and straightforward person, but what happened just now? Your attitude towards Wanwan seemed a little different in front of Jingting and behind his back.”

"Tangtang, although your aunt is a housewife, she watches a lot of TV dramas. Don't go astray and act like a scheming green tea bitch in those dramas. That's not what you should be doing!"
