Chapter 933: Shock

I interrupted Jing Tian hastily, “It’s not Tong Zhuo, it’s Wen Dian! Jing Tian, quickly informs little uncle that it’s Wen Dian! He’s not your friend at all, and he’s the mastermind behind all of this!”
Jing Tian quickly held my hand. “I know, I know. Nanxing, don’t be so agitated. We already know. The mute girl you brought back and the second brother of the mute girl who escaped also rushed to Huanyuan the day after you returned. We already know what happened. We didn’t alert Wen Dian’s lair, but we have to cut off Tong Zhuo first. This is Wen Dian’s last fight. He’s playing dirty tricks with us, so we’ll give him a solid lesson.”
Only then did I relax and recount in detail what had happened in Peony Garden.
My perspective was naturally different from that of the mute girl. The three of them were very surprised when they heard this.
Jing Ni said, “Lin Nan is really crafty. The Lin family rarely uses electronic devices. They’re basically still in the period of cold weapons. This is something that Mai Qi and I have no way of dealing with.”
I nodded. “Lin Nan and Wen Dian’s schemes are so deep that we didn’t expect them. Who would have thought that they were the Big Boss? Lin Nan could still pretend to be crazy and act dumb in front of us for so long.”
Jing Tian stood up to make a phone call to arrange things.
Mai Qi said softly, “Aunt Lan isn’t easy to fool. She had long discovered that Lin Nan was pretending, but she managed to calm her down without batting an eyelid. She wanted to know what her intentions were. It turned out that she wanted to steal Mr. Li’s experimental results and even kidnap Mr. Li. Fortunately, Tong Yan was quick-witted. In order to protect Mr. Li, she almost lost her life. Mr. Li used your blood to save Tong Yan’s life. I think in the future, Mr. Li will be able to pass all his skills to Tong Yan.”
“What about Auntie Lan and Auntie Bai Rui? Are they alright?” They were our weakest link.
Jing Ni hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. Seventh uncle later sent Su Qian and Su Shen to their side, so Lin Nan didn’t dare to act rashly. She snatched a sample from Tong Yan and left. She also saw that we were too guarded, so her martial prowess was nothing in front of the two sisters. However, before she left, she heard Tong Yan anxiously mention that you’re pregnant, so we were always worried that she would harm you.”
Mai Qi pressed her index finger against my forehead. “I get angry when I talk about this. Are you out of your mind? It’s such a big deal, but you didn’t tell us. Your disappearance is enough to make us anxious. Hearing from Tong Yan that you’re pregnant, Jing Tian was so anxious that he almost jumped off a building.
“What were you thinking? If you want to torture Jing Tian, you might as well tie him up and roast him on the fire. Your way of punishing him is too, too, too cruel, you wretched girl!”
Mai Qi gnashed her teeth, and even Jing Ni glared at me.
I smiled sheepishly. “I originally planned to give everyone a surprise when things are stable –”
“Is this a surprise? This is a surprise! Fortunately, Auntie Lan and the others’ hearts are still quite strong. Otherwise, we would either be angered to death or scared to death by you!”
“Seventh uncle almost beat up Mr. Li,” Jing Ni added.
I widened my eyes. “It’s none of Master’s business. There was something wrong with my appearance from the beginning. Master was worried about it all along. Moreover, the situation wasn’t clear at that time. He also felt that it was best not to say anything.”
Jing Ni rolled her eyes at me. “Seventh uncle is going crazy.”
I lowered my head. I could imagine it.
Jing Tian returned to my side after the phone call. He reached out his hand and touched my hair gently.
“Have you made the arrangements?” I asked him. Under the sunlight, he seemed to be shrouded in a thin layer of light. I couldn’t help but squint my eyes.
