Chapter 639 - 636: Coming Clean
"Know?" Ling Chen was startled and asked, "What do you know?"
Miss Su spoke deliberately, "The real purpose of your visit to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
Hearing this, Ling Chen’s face changed slightly, and he said with a forced smile, "Miss Su, are you mistaken? What purpose could I have? I came purely to pay a visit and see friends, nothing more."
"Really?" Su Mei shook her head gently and said, "I know you too well, as well as the matters around you. You’ve stayed in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion for four days without any sign of leaving, so I felt something was off. A busy person like you, how could you afford to waste time here? Besides, your woman is still in East Sea City; would you really be willing to leave her for so long? So, after much thought, I can only conclude that you must have a covert purpose for coming to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"To verify my guess, I deliberately sent people to investigate in East Sea City, and the results confirmed my speculation." At this point, Su Mei looked deeply into Ling Chen’s eyes and asked, "Am I wrong?"
Ling Chen gave a wry smile. Since Su Mei had already investigated clearly, there was no point in hiding it any longer.
"Indeed, I came to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion with a purpose."
"Speak, I’m listening."
Thereupon, Ling Chen detailed the threats he received from Lin Jiawei. By now, there was no need to keep secrets.
Looking at the blue bottle handed over by Ling Chen, Su Mei raised her head and asked, "When were you planning to make your move?"
"I had no intention of taking action. I’ve thought it through these past two days; it’s not worth sacrificing so many for just two lives. The reason I came to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was simply to buy time, allowing Hu Fei ample opportunity to find Xia Mutong, but alas..."
Thinking of the scene he had just witnessed, Ling Chen sighed and shook his head, "It’s already too late."
