No one thinks it's your problem. It's always been you who holds yourself in high regard, unwilling to engage with us, and now you want to blame us?
Wang Liling stepped out from behind them, while Zhang Baofeng and Bai Juan looked at Li Meng with complex expressions. In the past, Bai Juan thought Li Meng was clever and admired her aloofness. Now, however, she felt a sense of foolishness.
Li Meng looked at them, a deep sense of helplessness surging within her. She had never imagined that she would leave such an impression on these people. She always believed she was trying to help them in her own way, but it seemed that everything was just her own delusion.
She opened her mouth to explain but found herself unable to utter any words. Wang Liling looked at her and sneered, "Li Meng, what else do you want to say? Let me guess, it's probably something like: you have no idea what I've done for you?"
Li Meng was somewhat speechless and chose not to respond; the alley fell into an extreme silence. The two people beside her forced their eyes open, trying to see Li Meng, but they were too exhausted.
At that moment, Bai Juan stepped out of the crowd, looking provocatively at Li Meng. She raised an eyebrow and threatened in a tone reminiscent of a devil's whisper, "Li Meng, if you behave obediently, we can give you a quick end. If you remain stubborn, you surely don’t want to see your loved ones suffer before your eyes? You’ve always been filial; you should understand what we mean."
After hearing this, Li Meng let out a cold laugh: "If you think they would agree with your methods, then you're gravely mistaken."
Ming Zhu had been feeling uneasy but realized she had been manipulated after hearing Bai Juan's words. With a cold expression, she issued an order: "Take care of them." Then she led everyone away.
At this moment, Li Meng longed for Tian Luo's appearance more than ever. Tian Luo did not disappoint; just as everyone was about to leave, he strolled out leisurely: "Li Meng, I want to take you to meet Jiang Zong. The rest of you can deal with as you wish."
Li Meng was taken aback and looked at Tian Luo in disbelief, seemingly unable to understand why this was happening. Tian Luo mocked her: "You didn’t really think I would help you, did you? Don’t forget who I am."
Chen Chao had initially felt worried when he heard Tian Luo step in but relaxed upon hearing his words.
Li Meng looked at them with a mocking expression. "Stop indulging in unrealistic fantasies," she said.
Chen Chao had not noticed Tian Luo signaling to Li Meng. After a brief moment of hesitation, Li Meng decided to go along with the plan.
"I have one more condition," she stated firmly. "Let them go, and I will beg you. I will share all the information I have with you."
Her words plunged the group into silence, and their gazes turned toward Tian Luo, waiting for her decision.
Beside Jiang Zong, it was clear that Tian Luo had become the chief steward of Jin. Weighing the pros and cons, she eventually nodded, signaling her subordinates to release Li Meng.
Soon after, the two were thrown out the door. Li Meng knew they were temporarily safe and felt a slight sense of relief as she followed Tian Luo away.
As they passed Chen Chao, Li Meng shot her a glance that made Chen Chao feel as if her blood had run cold. Li Meng hadn’t forgotten that she had only confided in Chen Chao about her feelings; she just hadn’t expected to be betrayed.
The feeling of being toyed with was utterly ridiculous to her. She had even warned Liu Ru Yan not to trust anyone, yet she hadn’t remembered this herself.
Just as Li Meng was thrown out, Liu Er, hiding in the shadows, casually walked out; pretending to pass by, he picked up the two. Meanwhile, Tian Luo received the news and winked at Li Meng.
Feeling reassured, Li Meng acted even more nonchalantly. With her only weakness rescued, it was now her turn to take center stage.
She discreetly checked her pockets.
Sun Che had received word that Li Meng was safe now, which meant they could proceed with their next move.
Tang Mu Xuan arrived late with Xie Yichang and Lin Fengmian. The group stared at the eerily silent alley for a moment before Lin Fengmian opened his mouth to say something but was silenced by the wind blowing through the alley.
Tang Mu Xuan looked incredulously at the desolate scene before him.
Xie Yichang remarked, "Is this really the place you rushed over to?"
Liu Er stepped forward, glancing over the three of them. He addressed Tang Mu Xuan, saying, "Hello, Tang Mu Xuan. Liu Zong just instructed me that we sent two people to the hospital a moment ago. You see?"
The implication was clear to Tang Mu Xuan and the others: there was no one left; they had arrived too late.
"Can we go to the hospital to take a look?" Tang Mu Xuan asked, expressing her request. Liu Er was more than happy to oblige; if it weren't for them, he would have been attending to the young lady himself.
"Of course, please follow me," Liu Er replied. Just then, a group of people unexpectedly emerged from the alley—it was Tu Nan and his companions.
Tu Nan exchanged a nod with Liu Er as a form of greeting before they all turned and left in their respective directions.
Once Tang Mu Xuan and her companions got into Tu Nan's car, she finally had the chance to ask the question that had been troubling her.
