290: C290 The Truest Lie

C290 The Truest Lie

She was kidnapped. So it was outside of Ling Yao's expectation?

Hai Xiaomin unexpectedly let out a sigh of relief. If even her kidnapping experience was part of his plan, then this man who slept beside her every night was really too scary!

Immediately after, the negative emotions swept over. When she thought about how Ling Yao made such a huge sacrifice and arranged a plan, but was unexpectedly messed up by her, Hai Xiaomin silently lowered her eyes.

So, even being kidnapped became her fault in the end...

Hai Xiaomin's emotions were very easy to understand. Jess could feel the depression from her body and made a mistake again and again. It was like a nightmare that was pressing down on this woman's weak shoulders. It almost crushed her, right?

"Madam, you don't have to blame yourself. This is not your fault, but my negligence. We forced them into a corner, so we should have expected a desperate situation. It might not be you, but it could also be someone else!" In the end, Hai Xiaomin could not be blamed for these things. From the beginning to the end, she was innocent and involved in this dispute. She was the victim in the first place. Jess did not want her to have any more psychological burdens.

"Have you found the mole?" Hai Xiaomin held the corner of her lips and squeezed out a forced smile to bring up this topic.

She saw through Hai Xiaomin's escape. Jess opened his mouth but could not continue to persuade her. "Kuan Xiang is the spy they sent into the LY."

Hai Xiaomin was stunned. Kuan Xiang was really their person?!

She actually had the power of a drug lord behind her?!

Although Kuan Xiang had already been exposed a long time ago, she did not think that she actually hid it even more deeply!

At this moment, Hai Xiaomin already somewhat believed Jess's excuse for Star Gazing Manor. Because no matter how one looked at it, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If Kuan Xiang's confession about revenge was true, then it was very likely that she used another gang of drug dealers to frame LY!

However, the poppy on the back mountain of Star Gazing Manor actually existed.

Hai Xiaomin went back to the starting point. Whether or not there was a problem with Star Gazing Manor itself was the crux of the contradiction. Yet this answer, Jess insisted on beating around the bush with her!

"Even I can't reveal anything about the Star Gazing Manor in advance?" Hai Xiaomin's idea fell on Jess's head. She narrowed her eyes and half-talked and half-threatened. She was the woman of your family's boss, are you sure you want to offend her?

"Ahem," Jess pretended to cough and sat up straight. He scratched his nose and looked around. "Actually, it doesn't matter if I tell Madam something. Madam, do you know that there is a saying in Huaxia called 'fish eyes mixed with pearls'?"

Hai Xiaomin raised her eyebrows and looked at Jess without saying anything.

"The reason why the fish eyes can be disguised as pearls is because they look very similar." Jess smiled faintly. He did not care if Hai Xiaomin understood what he meant. He clapped his hands together. "Alright, that's all I can tell you."

He had already revealed enough. Hai Xiaomin had a guess in her heart. It was just that this guess was too absurd. Without the other party's personal confirmation, she could not be sure that this was the truth.

However, Jess clearly did not want to say the answer personally. Hai Xiaomin could only forcefully press her hand that wanted to pierce through the last layer of paper.

"What happened after that? How did you save me?" She continued to ask. There had clearly been so many things that had happened during this period of time. She did not expect that there were so many things that had happened. She did not know at all.

She had been locked up in the cellar for a day. After that, she had been poisoned and fainted. She only woke up today. There must have been a lot of things that had happened during this period of time.

"We found the drug lord's hideout, worked together with the police to make dumplings for them, and got the location of the wife from the drug lord." Jess tilted his head and showed an expression as expected. He easily passed through the process of rescuing her.

Something was not right. Hai Xiaomin was really too familiar with the way the other party hid the main point. Because every time she could not tell her parents the entire truth, she would reveal this kind of deliberating expression in her mind as she spoke!

Instinct told her that the process of the matter wouldn't be as simple as he described.

Hai Xiaomin asked hesitantly, "You did not receive the surveillance video?"

"What surveillance video?" Jess did not avoid Hai Xiaomin's gaze of observation.

"Nothing..." She probably misunderstood. They only put that camera on to monitor her, not use it as a bargaining chip.

"What conditions did they negotiate with you?" This time, Hai Xiaomin hit the nail on the head and asked. She did not give Jess the chance to beat around the bush with her.

There was no doubt that the drug lord had captured her to threaten Ling Yao. She wanted to know what they had used her to threaten Ling Yao.

“...”1

"Is there anything you can't say?" Hai Xiaomin frowned strangely.

She knew that the more he hesitated, the easier it would arouse Hai Xiaomin's curiosity. Jess had no choice but to tell her, "They used Madam to threaten the boss to stop and let them go. If they want to release them, they have to pay a ransom of 100 million. They also requested the LY to hold a press conference and officially admit the crime of being involved in the drug!"

They were not willing to tell Hai Xiaomin this because they did not want to deepen her guilt.

After listening to Jess's conditions, Hai Xiaomin gritted her teeth and showed a stunned expression.

These conditions were simply forcing Ling Yao step by step, wanting to completely destroy the LY!

"Madam, don't worry. The BOSS did not let their plot succeed. At that time, we were already close to the lair of the drug lords. The BOSS pretended to deal with them and used this gap to catch them off guard. In the end, we saved you!" Jess quickly added.

Hai Xiaomin heaved a sigh of relief. She did not cause any further losses. This result was not too bad. However, what was with her empty mood?

Ling Yao did not agree to the drug lord's condition... Was it because he was confident that he could save her, or was it not worth it for him to do so?

However, no matter if it was the former or the latter, they did not pay enough attention to her life!

Was he not afraid that the drug lord would kill her?

Or was it because he was certain that she was in a safe situation, and only then did he dare to be at ease and continue to act boldly?

Hai Xiaomin still shook her head. He did not know that she was in the same room with a snake. Since the drug lord wanted to use her as a bargaining chip to threaten Ling Yao, he would not kill her unless it was the last moment. Ling Yao must have believed this and did not agree rationally.

"Madam?" Looking at Hai Xiaomin's thoughtful look, Jess asked tentatively.

Hai Xiaomin withdrew her thoughts. "It's nothing. I'm just a little tired."

Jess got up. "Then I won't disturb Madam's rest. It's time for me to leave."

"Okay, take care." Hai Xiaomin nodded with a smile and prepared to lie down again.

Jess turned around and left. He walked to the door of the room, turned around, and gently pulled the door to his room. Facing the green eyes in the room, he revealed a strange look.

It was not that he was not good at lying. Lies were always easily exposed. The most real lie should be most of the truth and a small amount of lies. Lies were not all bad. There was a kind of lie that was good in itself, in order to let the person involved live a better life.

He hoped that Madam would one day understand his good intentions.
