Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Shen Xiaoxiao saw the person in black’s true face, she could no longer describe it with words. Her subordinates were so shocked that they unnaturally loosened their grip.
The person in front of her, whose mask had been torn off, revealed a shrewd and familiar face. It was none other than Grandma Lin, who had been rescued by Shen Xiaoxiao in the abandoned house back then and whose life was hanging by a thread.
She had no idea how to describe her feelings at that moment. How could it be her? How could it be her?
When she had been rescued, the doctor had clearly said that one of her kidneys had already died and needed surgery to remove it. At that time, she was so weak that she could breathe for a few minutes even if she drank a mouthful of water. Her eyes were frightened, and her limbs were shriveled and weak.
How could such a person be Grandma Lin who had been scheming behind the scenes? How could it be her?
Shen Xiaoxiao could not believe what she was seeing, but this was the truth.
There was a gap behind the stone pillar, and one could walk to the safety exit by turning sideways. Grandma Lin was held down by Shen Xiaoxiao and was even lifted up by one of her hands. One could imagine the strength of this.
As soon as she let go of her hand, she coughed violently and panted heavily. Shen Xiaoxiao was shaken by her voice, and without thinking, she grabbed her arm and dragged her out of the gap into the safe pa.s.sage.
When the secret guards at the door saw Madam dragging an extremely strange old lady out, they guessed that this might be the person they were looking for tonight. After all, she was clearly dressed as a waitress, and she was indeed very old.
There was a room that had been prepared a long time ago. When the door opened, Shen Xiaoxiao did not hesitate to push Grandma Lin in.
The safe house was surrounded by white walls. Shen Xiaoxiao slammed the large iron door behind her and said to the guards behind her, “No one is allowed to enter, including your boss.”
The secret guard at the door looked at each other and could only listen to the Madam. However, the news had already been sent to Boss. When the time came, everything would be decided by Boss.
At this moment, there were only Shen Xiaoxiao and Grandma Lin in this room. Grandma Lin did not have the slightest concern. It was as if she was sure that Shen Xiaoxiao would not do anything to her. She stood up very naturally. She even gently dusted off the invisible dust on her body, looking as if she had nothing to fear. This almost made Shen Xiaoxiao lose her rationality once again.
“Why is Weiwei still so hot-tempered after such a long time? She has no patience with Grandma at all.”
Shen Xiaoxiao opened her eyes and watched Grandma Lin say this. She felt as if she did not know this person at all. How could she have the nerve to say this?
“Who are you? And you’re not my grandma.”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Grandma Lin looked up at her with a smile and said, “Silly child, even if you use Weiwei’s name, I still treat you as my granddaughter.”
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned even more. She knew that she had used Lin Weiwei’s name and ident.i.ty. But since she knew, why did she still do this?
“Who are you? Aren’t you Grandma Lin?”
“Xiaoxiao, do you think I’m not? Then, you’re wrong. But now is not the time to talk about who I am. Xiaoxiao, you should be concerned about yourself. There’s no antidote for the poison in your body, but…”
“Shut up.”
Shen Xiaoxiao had already heard the footsteps at the door. She did not want Yan Kuan to know that she had been poisoned, so she directly interrupted Grandma Lin. But who was Grandma Lin? She was so smart and calculative. She knew the moment Shen Xiaoxiao spoke with that nervous look.
“Xiaoxiao is really a sentimental child. Just like your father, your Shen family is full of love.”
“Why? Why did you do that?”
“Do what? Xiaoxiao, tell Grandma, what did Grandma do?”
“You, you, who are you?”
Shen Xiaoxiao could no longer control her emotions. She was too shocked, and many things were flooding into her mind. If the person in black was Grandma Lin, then what was the purpose of all this? And what about Third Uncle? There were so many questions. What was the purpose of all this?
“I have always been your grandma, so I have never taken your life. Xiaoxiao, Grandma only wants your children. I promise that I won’t hurt you. As long as you listen to me, I will naturally guarantee that you won’t have to worry about anything for the rest of your life. Even if it’s Yan Kuan, I can also promise that I will never disturb the lives of the two of you again. From now on, you can live happily. You are still young, and there are plenty of children to have.”
Now, since Grandma Lin knew that Shen Xiaoxiao did not want outsiders to know that she was heavily poisoned, she would just let her be. After all, what she wanted was never Shen Xiaoxiao’s life.
“You want my children? In your dreams.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s decisiveness made Grandma Lin’s eyes flash with a sharp glint. This Shen Xiaoxiao was still the same as before.
“Do you think that everything will be fine now that you’ve caught me? Xiaoxiao, you’re underestimating Grandma’s methods. I was prepared to let you know my ident.i.ty since I dared to come here personally. But you’re really smart to recognize me so quickly. I thought I would have to wait for the banquet to end again.”
“What do you mean?”
“That’s what I mean. How about this? I’ll use Shen Jin and Shen Jinwen to exchange for your two children. Isn’t this a good deal? Don’t worry, they’re definitely not clones. I promise you that.”
“Third Uncle?”
“Yes, he’s not dead yet. As long as you agree to give me the children, I’ll exchange with you.”
“You want my children, you have to let me know what you want to do, right?”
“Why? Didn’t that kid Yan Kuan tell you? I want to save someone. I want to save a very important person. Shouldn’t you have guessed it?”
“Save who?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Grandma Lin. Her expression was clear, and there was no sign of fear at all. What other tricks did she have? Why was she so fearless at this moment? Her life and death were in her hands.
“You will naturally know this in the future.”
“Hmph, aren’t you afraid that I will directly finish you off?”
“Finish me off? Hahaha, you won’t. As long as I die, there will be no second person in this world who can save you.”
After saying this, the big iron door behind him opened. Yan Kuan looked at the old lady in front of him with a grim expression and said directly, “What do you mean by this?”
“Hahaha, you are indeed a pair of lovesick men and resentful women. What do I mean? Why don’t you take a look at the needle hole on her arm?”
After hearing Grandma Lin’s words, Yan Kuan pulled Shen Xiaoxiao’s arm to take a look.. Sure enough, a blue needle hole appeared on her arm. What was going on? Could it be that Xiaoxiao was poisoned?
