Chapter 181: The hidden enemy
"I have made up my mind Muyang, I will go alone. It will be a three day stay at most. By the time I return, one of us will have an answer that brings us closer to our goal."
Her reason for insisting that she go alone was because she was also going to do her mission. The killer she was supposed to photograph and reveal was in that town. It had been trending news all over the empire lately that the killer had struck again. This prompted the countdown of her mission to begin. She could not afford to push it off anymore. She needed T4’s help to find her son; if she failed the mission perhaps T4 would be deactivated.
She was not willing to risk it. First thing to do tomorrow morning was set off for Xunwai town.
While she and Muyang made plans, someone else also made plans. The Jun family had made it no secret that they were searching for their lost child. Some of the privileged families were already discussing this new big news.
In one of the houses in the Emperor’s courts, the woman who had ethereal beauty with a black beauty mask on her face was sleeping in a lounge chair besides a swimming pool. Her subordinate was kneeling before her and updating her on the situation at hand to do with Muyang.
Once the woman heard that Chi Lian had a son, she screamed loudly, grabbed a glass from the table next to her and smashed it on the floor.
An older woman came running and asked, "Daya, what’s wrong, did someone make you angry tell your mother, I will have that person removed from this world."
The woman named Daya ignored her mother; instead she slapped her subordinate across the cheek heavily. The ring on her finger cut the subordinates cheek and a small trail of blood made its way down her cheek but the subordinate did not flinch or move.
Daya looked at her own hands in disgust and looked around for something to clean them.
