Over the years, Wu Ma has done many bad things for Su Yu and has also learned many of Su Yu's secrets.
Now that she knows Su Yu has decided to kill her to silence her, Wu Ma will definitely be thrown into a panic.
In this situation, she had no time to investigate the authenticity of the recording; she was only immersed in the fear of death.
Ling Mo's goal was not merely to intimidate Su Yu's right-hand men into fleeing.
More logically, she was actually gambling on a possibility.
Wu Ma is greedy by nature, but she is not stupid or brainless.
She did so many despicable things for Su Yu, so logically she should have kept a lot of dirt on Su Yu.
Ling Mo had precisely targeted this point, which is why he deliberately set a trap, waiting for Wu Ma to walk right into it...
Sure enough, less than half an hour after the lights in her house were turned off, the sound of digging could be heard in the yard.
Ling Mo stood at the window in the dark, lifted a corner of the curtain with her delicate hand, and looked straight ahead at Wu Ma, who was crouching in the middle of the lawn.
At that moment, Aunt Wu was quickly wielding her hoe and soon dug a pit about 0.5 meters deep in the lawn.
About ten minutes later, she expanded the pit further until she pulled out an old suitcase wrapped in printed cloth.
The next moment, Wu Ma gently shook the suitcase to make sure the contents were still inside. She then hurriedly carried the suitcase back to her room and then sneakily slipped out with the red envelope Ling Mo had given her during the day.
Ling Mo stood at the window for a while, until Wu Ma's bulky figure disappeared outside the iron gate, before he lowered the curtains and walked slowly downstairs to Wu Ma's room.
Wu Ma slipped out late at night, probably in a hurry to deposit the cash she had into her card so that it would be easier to carry with her.
The nearest ATM to the Ling residence is several streets away, and it would probably take more than half an hour to walk there.
Because of this, Ling Mo wasn't worried at all about Wu Ma turning back halfway. After turning on the fluorescent light in Wu Ma's room with a "click," he began to examine the briefcase wrapped in dark blue printed cloth on the table.
He gently shook off the dirt stains from the printed fabric, then snapped the combination lock on the suitcase in half, easily opening the old suitcase.
Her eyes were fixed on the pinkish-purple cover of the diary in the suitcase, and she immediately noticed the elegant small characters in regular script on the cover: "Shi Ying".
Ling Mo's eyes flickered slightly, and he hurriedly opened the slightly yellowed diary.
She skimmed through the diary, turning over a dozen pages, and found that most of the entries were related to pharmacology, with very little mention of other topics, which made her somewhat disappointed.
Is Shi Ying's daily life really so monotonous that only alchemy remains?
Ling Mo frowned slightly. Based on his own birthday, he roughly calculated the date of Shi Ying's pregnancy and then skipped over a dozen more pages.
After pinpointing the exact date, the contents of Shi Ying's diary indeed underwent a dramatic change.
Eager to learn about Shi Ying's past, Ling Mo took the diary back to his bedroom, lit a lamp, and read it all night long.
August 20, 2002, sunny.
I made a cake for Luo Lin myself; it was burnt and looked dark. However, he ate it very happily and even said my cooking skills were world-class.
I was flattered by his praise and in a great mood. I was about to take him to the beach to watch the sunset when he suddenly turned serious and told me that he would be going to M continent in early October to participate in a family secret training.
Before this, he had mentioned to me that in order to continue their superior genes, each heir must undergo an extremely rigorous secret training when they turn 25.
The intensive training lasts for about six months to a year, and the training locations are mostly in the desert, or in the rainforest, or possibly on the open sea.
In short, it is extremely dangerous; one wrong move and you could be smashed to pieces.
The moment I learned that he was about to undergo secret family training, my first reaction was to go with him.
He said that the family's secret training was only for the family heir and that I couldn't be included.
I was disappointed, but there was nothing I could do. In my anxiety, I finally mustered up the courage to give him my first time.
He seemed to have guessed my thoughts, or perhaps he was worried about the dangers of the secret training, and he hesitated to respond to my initiative.
In the end, it was only after I couldn't control my tears that he finally gave in.
August 21, cloudy.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I touched the cold pillow beside me and found that Luo Lin was no longer by my side. A sense of loss suddenly arose in my heart.
In that instant, I suddenly remembered what Yu'er had told me: that men are all driven by lust and desire, and once they've won a woman's heart, they no longer cherish her.
I was terrified that he would do the same thing, and for some reason, I cried for most of the night again.
To my surprise, he returned at dawn, with a branding mark left by the fire tongs on his chest.
I looked at the brand on his chest and pressed him for an explanation: why did he have to brand the character "Ying" onto his flesh and blood?
He said that members of his family only love one person in their lifetime.
After finding their true love, they will brand their lover's name onto their body.
My nose tingled with emotion, and I decided to brand his name onto my own flesh and blood.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid of pain, and he won't allow me to do it.
...
September 30th, cloudy.
I've been feeling weak these past few days, and I can't seem to get enough sleep no matter how much I sleep.
