C444 Suspicion of Identity
Soong Shiyan sat in her study room, looking at the documents on her computer. Her right shoulder was injured and wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. However, Dijin's left hand was extremely nimble. It was as nimble as her right hand. Therefore, while Soong Shiyan was operating the mouse and keyboard alone, she did not feel that there was anything inconvenient about them.1
After working for four or five hours, she finally felt tired. She stood up and slowly walked down the stairs, intending to walk around in the garden. As soon as she went downstairs, she saw Tiankui hurrying in. Seeing her standing by the stairs, a sliver of evasion appeared in Tiankui's eyes. Soon after, she turned her face away, intending to return to her room.
"Tiankui —" Soong Shiyan saw that Tiankui had already seen her, but she did not greet her. Thus, she shouted in astonishment, "What happened?"
"What can happen to me? I'm just in a hurry to go to the bathroom. " Tiankui turned a corner and walked slowly towards the toilet after she finished her sentence. Then she slammed the door.
Seeing this, Soong Shiyan tiptoed to the door of the toilet and stood there quietly — she did not believe that Tiankui would still be able to hide inside the toilet and not come out!
Tiankui stood in front of the mirror and looked at her. Half her face was swollen like a pig's head, and she let out a helpless sigh — Freya really had a strong hand. Her face was so swollen, it was unknown how long it would take for it to subside. However, she also had to follow Soong Shiyan closely. If Soong Shiyan found out about this, she would definitely ask her all kinds of questions.
Soong Shiyan's shoulder was injured. There was a thick layer of gauze wrapped around it. As long as there was no urgent matter, she would not go out. Furthermore, Soong Family Great House was so large, no matter how strong Rose's people were, it was impossible for them to charge into Soong Family Great House and assassinate Soong Shiyan! Since that was the case, then she would stay at home and avoid Soong Shiyan for the next two days — — Anyway, this Soong Family palace was so large, and as long as she didn't answer her phone, it would be quite arduous for Soong Shiyan to find her.
Tiankui used cold water to pat her swollen face. Then, she slowly and gently opened the door to the toilet, looking around cautiously. Seeing that there was no one around, she assumed that Soong Shiyan had gone upstairs again, so she quietly went out.
"Tiankui, are you a thief?" A lazy voice sounded from behind him.
Hearing this, Tiankui was slightly vexed. If she had known this earlier, she wouldn't have rushed out!
She helplessly turned around and looked at Soong Shiyan. She squeezed out a stiff smile and asked, "Jing Sung, why are you still here?"
"If I'm not standing here, how would I know what you're hiding from me? Tiankui, what happened to your face?" Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui as she spoke in an unhurried manner.
Tiankui touched her face, a trace of embarrassment appearing on her face. She did not answer Soong Shiyan's question.
Only then did Soong Shiyan feel that her question was a little retarded. Tiankui was so good at fighting, these normal people couldn't even get close to her, let alone slap her face.
"Is it someone from the organization? Is it because I. Dijin was injured? " Soong Shiyan asked with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that Tiankui was beaten because she was injured?
That was impossible. She had already left the organization, and it had nothing to do with her. Furthermore, how could the organization punish Tiankui because of her? Or could it be that Dijin had a deep relationship with the upper echelons of the organization? Otherwise, how could Dijin and Tiankui become the legend of the organization?
"Tiankui, Dijin, she …" Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui, hesitating to speak.
"What about Xiao Jiu? What do you want to ask? " Seeing Soong Shiyan's hesitant look, Tiankui asked.
"Is Dijin a relative of the organization's upper echelons?" Why do I feel that her position in the organization seems to be quite extraordinary? You said before that the only person who has been able to leave the organization alive since its inception is Dijin. And during this period of time, the reason why you were able to stay by my side, I believe, is because you have obtained the approval of the upper echelons. " Soong Shiyan looked at Tiankui as she spoke in an unhurried manner.
Hearing this, Tiankui's expression froze for a moment. Soong Shiyan was indeed Soong Shiyan. In this short period of time, she had already guessed that the relationship between Dijin and her boss was not ordinary. Fortunately, this was all she could think of at the moment.
She also knew that Soong Shiyan had been searching for her aunt, but she couldn't tell Soong Shiyan about this — because once Soong Shiyan found out about this, according to her temper, she would definitely think of all sorts of ways to get to see her boss. If, when the time came, she became agitated and told her boss her true identity in order to let him recognize her, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Xiao Jiu was the eldest son's biological daughter. Moreover, the eldest had kept Xiao Jiu by his side for so many years and had watched her grow up, so naturally, the eldest's feelings for Xiao Jiu were much deeper than his feelings for Soong Shiyan. After all, Soong Shiyan was only the eldest's niece.
If Soong Shiyan had revealed her identity, it would be hard to protect her eldest brother from being agitated and thinking of ways to kill Soong Shiyan like she did, so that Xiao Jiu's soul could return to her body. Besides, even if Soong Shiyan managed to survive, she could only stay in the organization's laboratory for the rest of her life--because her boss would definitely do everything in his power to save his daughter.
"What are you saying? If Xiao Jiu is really a relative of the organization's upper echelons, then how could her relatives bear to have her grow up in the organization, and receive such harsh training that could cost her life if she wasn't careful? " Tiankui looked at Soong Shiyan and said slowly, disapproving. However, there was a hint of rigidity and evasion in her smile.
The reason why Tiankui said that to Soong Shiyan was because she still had doubts that she hadn't answered.
Xiao Jiu was the eldest son's biological daughter. The reason why the eldest would throw Xiao Jiu into the organization was because he didn't like her, or even hated her. Perhaps, there was such a possibility. However, if her boss really hated Xiao Jiu, then why was her boss so worried after her accident and even made an exception for her to leave the organization? However, if her boss loved her biological daughter, how could she bear to have Xiao Jiu become an assassin for so many years?
Hearing Tiankui's words, Soong Shiyan felt that it was reasonable. However, when she thought about it, she still felt that something was amiss.
"You're right, who would be willing to allow their relatives to join such a perverted organization, walking on the edge of a knife every day and living a life of fear and trepidation?" "But …"
Soong Shiyan was about to say something, but was interrupted by a servant walking over, "Miss, Second Young Master Huo is here!"
