"Where on earth are you keeping my mentor and his wife?" asked Ling Yiran.
"What's the matter? Have you come to question me?" His eyes instantly turned cold.
"Mrs. Kang has a fever. At her age, a minor fever may cause all kinds of diseases. Jin, even if you want Mrs. Kang to atone for her sins, get a doctor for her first," said Ling Yiran.
Yi Jinli got up and walked over to her. "What's the matter? Do you think I locked them away?"
"Didn't you?" she asked.
"I just found them a place where that woman can repent. Your mentor can leave whenever he wants. As for the person I once called my mother, she can also leave if she wants to—but her only option outside is prison.”
As Yi Jinli said this, he bent over slightly and stared at Ling Yiran with a half-smile on his face as if he was mocking her.
Ling Yiran froze, suddenly realizing why her mentor had not left. He was afraid that if he did leave to get a doctor or report to the police, Jin would send Mrs. Kang straight to prison.
Jin's legal team could win the case easily. After all, there was a lot of evidence about what had happened that year. Even though her mentor was a big shot in the legal world, they would lose the case anyway.
"Will you tell me where they are?" asked Ling Yiran.
Yi Jinli suddenly sneered. "Didn't you promise that you’d stand by me and not plead for that woman? Or did you not mean them?"
"Stop!" interrupted Yi Jinli as he slowly released his arms. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked down at her, saying, "Don't say another word if you don't want to hurt me!"
His gaze made her throat dry. It was as if something was blocking everything she wanted to say. She could not say a word.
It was as if one more word would break a taboo and cause an irreparable rift in their relationship.
His gaze was telling her silently that he hated his mother very much.
The hatred was so overwhelming!
