Mu Yancheng seemed to have understood what was going on as well. With eyes seething in fury, he looked to be on the verge of exploding as he demanded to know through gritted teeth. “What is the name of that person who hired you?”
“D-Don’t know… We don’t know…” Luo Qing lowered his head in an act of guilt. “That person wouldn’t tell us her name! It’s not something honorable in the first place. We didn’t ask for her name and identity, either. All we knew was that she’s rich and very generous. She offered us a sum of half a million if we could complete the assignment.”
“Half a mil?!”
Is my child, a Mu offspring, so cheap?!
“Do you really not know her name, or are you deliberately hiding it to us?” questioned Chu He suddenly.
Luo Qing did not say a word, but his accomplice seemed to recall something all of a sudden and stammered, “I-I remember… Her surname is Song. She looks very young—dressed well and wore heavy makeup. She seems to be part of an elite family, too, and sounded especially condescending.”
“Song?!”
Mu Yancheng’s face flipped at the mention of that surname. He seemed to know the identity of that person…
Song Enya!
Was it her?
However, he was not surprised to learn that it might be his future wife who had passed the order to these men.
She probably knew that his former girlfriend had left the capital and secretly settled down in Yan City to nurse the baby in her tummy.
With his lover carrying his kid, if the woman managed to give birth successfully, it would spell trouble for the missy!
Hence, he was not at all surprised to learn that she was behind the kidnapping incident!
The stunned Meng Qingxue noticed the change in the man’s demeanor. Her sensitivity told her that he knew who the person was at the mention of that surname. Furthermore, he seemed to know her pretty well, which accounted for the rapid change in his expression at the mere mention of it.
“Do you know the person?” She knew she had to ask him, but the man chose to keep quiet.
“Say something!” The pregnant woman clenched her hands into fists and pressed frigidly. “Now that the matter has developed to this stage, are you still trying to hide everything from me? Mu Yancheng, I’m sure that you know who that mastermind is! Tell me: Who is she?!”
He glanced at her with mixed feelings and, after taking a deep breath, uttered feebly, “It’s Song… Song Enya.”
“Song Enya?” The woman was naturally puzzled as the name sounded foreign to her.
He rubbed his glabella in vexation and explained faintly, “She’s my fiancée.”
BOOM! Meng Qingxue’s mind went blank.
“Was that her who answered the call that night when I called you before I left the capital?” She made a bold guess.
The man did not intend to hide anything and nodded quietly.
“Haa—”
She let out a smirk in ridicule and stumbled back on the bed despondently; for a while, she did not know whether she should laugh or cry!
The thought that she had almost lost the unborn child in her tummy due to his fiancée made her want to cry.
What was ridiculously funny, though, was how righteous the man sounded as he announced the woman as his fiancée!
How ironic!
Indeed.
There was no reason for that woman not to do so.
In his fiancée’s eyes, her existence was a thorn in the flesh and a great threat. There was no reason she should not be eliminated!
