Chapter 630 Promises
I understood. “So, it was the plan to come to this island all along. Ma Ji poisoned you, but she was still worried, so she led us here.”
Tong Yan nodded. “Yes, you were the one who told her about this island.”
I smiled bitterly. “It seems that I’ve given up quite a lot of my parent’s assets.”
Tong Yan nodded. “That’s right. Your parents are probably rolling in their graves knowing you’ve voluntarily given away so much of their wealth to their enemies!”
I smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll take it back the way I gave it away.” She glared at me fiercely, and she continued, “I only knew that you were a real princess after we landed on this island. I couldn’t say that my heart didn’t waver during this period. If I followed you, I could live a life of glory, wealth, peace, and happiness. Even with the poison in my body, I could survive. I could even be your servant for life.”
She let out a long sigh. “But fate is unkind to me. Ma Ji found me very quickly. She disguised herself as a servant. She was always able to find me in the mansion. What could I do? I could only do as she said.
“I warned you, but you never took it seriously. In the end, you became suspicious of me, but you never thought that I was being forced as well. Compared to Vincent and Daisy, you don’t trust Du Heng and me, who joined you halfway. So, it was your fault that I deflected back to Ma Ji.”
I was speechless. How could I reason with someone so crazy?
“What exactly are you trying to tell us?” I asked her directly.
She was startled. “I’ve told you very important things already. Isn’t that enough?”
I nodded. “It’s quite important, but they are all in the past. Other than learning from them, I’m not very interested in them.”
Tong Yan’s breathing became heavier.
I ignored her. “I want to know where Ma Ji’s hideouts are on the island. If you’re willing to tell me, I’ll let you live the rest of your life in peace and without any worries.”
She looked at me fixedly. “Mr. Li has told you, right? Ma Ji is now our captive.”
I signaled Xiao Yi, who was standing at the door, to come in and showed Tong Yan Ma Ji’s video.
Tong Yan’s eyes lit up.
She let out a long sigh. “Will you really guarantee my safety?” I nodded. “Yes, I’m a woman of my word! Plus, who are you to hold me to my words? Either way, if you don’t want to cooperate, I can wait for Ma Ji. Mr. Li will soon break her. I’ll get the news I want eventually. But if you’re willing to give me what I want, I’m willing to be kind to
you.”
Tong Yan immediately sang like a bird. I told Xiao Yi to record everything, and he sent them to Qu Hao and my little uncle.
Tong Yan leaned back on the chair as if she was exhausted. There was a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
I walked a few steps closer. I stood in front of her. “Tong Yan, Phoenix Blood is my lifelong nightmare. You really don’t have to envy me. If it weren’t for the Phoenix Blood, I wouldn’t have become an orphan at the age of six. I’ll ask Mr. Li to give you some medicine to forget everything in the past. Being an ordinary person is true happiness.”
In the eyes of Tong Yan, there was gratitude.
