The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 877 - 875: Using Me Against Tong Songbai?

So is she the next one to be targeted?

Gu Xiyao became silent upon hearing this, staring at her mother in shock, allowing the officers to drag her away.

Tong Songlin, feeling isolated, turned to Tong Ji Yuan for help, but Tong Ji Yuan was also overwhelmed. With An Lin leaving with Tong Songbai, he was powerless and wondered if he had made a mistake.

"Ji Yuan, you’re the only one who can save Xi Yao now! You previously refused to intervene because you wanted to win over Lu Beichen. But now Lu Beichen has completely sided with Ji Yang, and if he finds out it was you who helped me interfere with his search in Paris and New City years ago, do you think he’d let you off?" Tong Songlin was in a state of urgent tension.

Tong Ji Yuan glanced at her, "Back then, I helped Aunt believing it was just an insignificant matter. Ultimately, I was deceived by Aunt. If Lu Beichen really pursues this, I could extricate myself at any moment. But now, you’re eager to drag me down, and I seriously doubt your intentions."

"What intentions could I have? I just want to rescue Xi Yao, she’s also your cousin. As long as you get her out, I’ll immediately take her away, anywhere will do!"

"Anywhere? Are you willing to give up the empire uncle built in Paris?" Tong Ji Yuan sneered, "I don’t understand your intentions, and I wouldn’t risk opposing Lu Beichen and Tong Songbai now!"

"Tong Ji Yuan, you were the one who wanted to cooperate initially. You’ve benefited and now you don’t care about my fate?" Tong Songlin replied coldly, "Who said they wanted to avenge their father? Don’t forget how your father died!"

"Then you tell me, how did my father die exactly? All my investigations show he died of illness. You say otherwise, then tell me, how did he really die?"

There was a heavy resentment in the air, making Tong Songlin a bit guilty, "Apart from Tong Songbai, who else could it be? Moreover, if Tong Songbai finds out you have women and children hidden here, he’ll capture them all, and you’ll have..."

"Threatening me?" Tong Ji Yuan chuckled, "I feel like my father’s death has nothing to do with Tong Songbai; you’re using me to deal with Tong Songbai, aren’t you?"

Tong Songlin was barely startled, "How could I use someone as smart as you? Ji Yuan, you know Tong Songbai is capable of anything. If he finds out you have women and children hidden here, he’ll certainly capture them all!"

"He already knows! And he hasn’t done anything to them!" Tong Ji Yuan had pondered this deeply recently, even blocking people himself, intending to lead them, with An Lin willingly following, he offered an out.

He fixed his gaze on Tong Songlin, probing again, "Using me against Tong Songbai?"

...

Lu Beichen was constantly worried about the young woman’s problematic emotions, so he called Zhu Yiming over to examine her personally.

Ji Niandong just felt a headache and weakness, yet remained very quiet.

"Honey, don’t worry, I’m fine, just my head feels heavy, I’ve been wanting to sleep!" She said with closed eyes.

Lu Beichen responded softly, "Then sleep if you want, I’ll stay here and watch over you. Tomorrow, I’ll tell Dad to bring Nian Nian here, Nian Nian has been worried about you for days."

"Okay!" She replied faintly.

Lu Beichen suddenly lay down beside her, gently hugging her, tentatively asking, "If your head hurts, don’t think about the past, it’s fine if you can’t remember."

Ji Niandong turned over, buried her head in his embrace, and closed her eyes.

If only she really couldn’t remember, how splendid it would be?
