"Now you have a chance to tell me what's going on, right?"
Lu Mingming grabbed the cub by the collar, revealing a rare hint of threat.
If it weren't for her keen sense of smell, which detected that strange, sour odor, she might have fallen victim to this today.
Once you drink this glass of water with who-knows-what added ingredients, whether you'll wake up tomorrow is still unknown.
But Lu Mingming didn't believe the little cub harbored any ill intentions.
Otherwise, when facing the law enforcement team earlier, the little cub wouldn't have risked lying to save her.
The person before him was unwilling to answer, so Lu Mingming pressed him: "Who exactly is this person you're talking about? Why did he send me here, and why did he send you to harm me?"
Just when Lu Mingming thought there was no answer, a familiar voice outside the door jolted him awake.
"I asked him to bring you here, and I also requested that you be given the drug so that you could rest in the safe house a little longer. You will be released after this is all over."

Today, Aunt Shi wore an unusual black work uniform, with her hair combed back neatly and cleanly from the sides of her ears.
"No need to look anymore, my daughter and I have something to talk about."
Aunt Shi waved her hand, and the little boy, sensing an opportunity, broke free from Lu Mingming's embrace and ran out of the room.
Once she was sure no one else was interrupting, Aunt Shi suddenly asked, "Do you remember the story I told you before about my daughter?"
Lu Mingming hummed in agreement, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.
Could it be... that everything Aunt Shi did was for her daughter?
Sure enough, the next moment Aunt Shi said firmly:
"I will take revenge on them for all the sins they committed against my daughter. I have been preparing for this for decades!"
I've done everything I could, but even sacrificing my vast fortune couldn't save my daughter's life.
Aunt Shi's face looked as if she had aged decades, and a string of tears dripped onto her clothes, wetting a patch.

Lu Mingming's eyes stung with tears, feeling the other person's profound pain at losing a loved one.
"Isn't it said that ghosts and gods can bring the dead back to life and heal bones..."
Lu Mingming thought of this in an instant.
"Even the devil's ginseng couldn't save your daughter's life?"
"It's a scam by the drug dealers; at most, it can cure some serious injuries."
Aunt Shi gradually regained her composure and coldly wiped away her tears with a gray handkerchief.
"You are too young to understand that my daughter was lying in my arms at the time, and I felt her body temperature slowly fading away... I cried and begged every noble family to bring a doctor to treat my daughter, but no one agreed."
When Aunt Shi mentioned this, her eyes turned bloodshot and terrifying, revealing a deep well of pain and sorrow.
"I'm doing all this for your own good. I don't want you to suffer the same harm as my daughter."
"Leaving aside the question of whether this is right or wrong, how can you guarantee that the slum side will win?"

Lu Mingming frowned. If they failed, everyone would suffer.
"Speaking of which, there are two unfamiliar forces that have been pursuing the same goal as me, which have given me a lot of help and encouragement."
Aunt Shi gave a meaningful hint, and looked into Lu Mingming's eyes with great joy.
"I believe my plan will succeed this time. Everyone in Sin City must die."
Lu Mingming was speechless.
There are only two forces that she can think of.
It's understandable that Oranar, as an official of the league, would do these things, but Lu Yan is the leader of all the criminal gangs. Isn't that tantamount to killing each other?
"What about the innocent people? There must be children in the City That Never Sleeps who don't know what happened back then!"
In the end, Lu Mingming managed to come up with a reason.
She believed that there must be beings like Jasmine, Orannal, and Yi Fu...

"Pah! These people are maggots growing in flesh, caves constantly eroding and sucking nutrients from trees. Not a single one of them deserves forgiveness."
A fierce flame of hatred flashed across Aunt Shi's face. The old story she brought up again burned away all her reason, leaving only the desire for revenge.
"You don't need to say so much to me. I've already made up my mind, and I don't need to go back on it."
Aunt Shi flipped her palm over, and her spiritual sea attribute turned out to be "water".
The gentle water energy formed a fist-sized, azure water sphere. With a gentle wave of Aunt Shi's hand, it turned into raindrops that sprinkled onto Lu Mingming, like a layer of transparent, light blue water film.
"You stay here and stay safe. The water membrane will protect you and notify me of your actions, so you'd better not get involved. Tonight I will announce the complete disappearance of the City That Never Sleeps."
After saying this, Aunt Shi placed a faded pendant on the table, made of pearls strung together as a necklace.
Lu Mingming recognized it at a glance; it was the one Aunt Shi often wore around her neck.
The photograph inlaid on the pendant has been removed, and the pearl chain has been repolished, radiating a shimmering glow.
"This is a gift from me to you, after all, we have a mother-daughter bond. Once everything is safe, you can leave here."
