Chapter 692 “Impersonate (4)”
After having the whole rescue effort coming to a close, Bai Yan didn’t leave like the rest and spent a good amount of ti searching the river bank for her son’s whereabout to no avail…..
Frowning now, Can it be, sothing happened to him?
It’s then a slight rustling sound had caught her attention. From her angle Bai Yan could see there’s a heavily injured fatty that’s leaning against the main trunk of a tree up ahead. The man was literally covered in blood as a result of the sword imbedded into his chest, indicating how severe that wound was.
She wanted to go get a closer look, but when she took a step forward, the noise from her footsteps had obviously scared the individual and roused him to make a run for it.
Not going to let this slide, Bai Yan does a flash step and blocked the fatty’s path: “It looks like your body is quite special if you can still run in your current state.”
“Oh great lady, please let go, just pretend I’m a fart and toss away.” Kneeling as his first reaction, the fatty gets down on the floor and begs with all his might.
“Explain to then, why did you run as soon as you saw , and are you pleading for your life?” Crossing her arms around the chest, Bai Yan smirks with confidence like she’s not afraid let him know she’s still unaware of what’s going on.
“I’ve told Mu Leng’s people about you buying the ticket from and also gave them a portrait of your face. I was scared, that’s why I did that when they threatened ….”
The fatty rchant thought this was a form of payback for outing her, hence the reason why he would be so frightened after seeing Bai Yan blocking his path.
“What’s with your injury then?”
From the very beginning Bai Yan’s been suspecting sothing was up when Mu Leng showed up so perfectly after the girl was salvaged from the water. Now it’s beginning to make total sense.
“It’s the Mu Manor’s people,” the fatty puckers his lip to the side in discontent. “Those people were afraid of exposing this matter to others, that’s why they sent assassins after . Luckily my heart grew on the wrong side of my body and allowed to avoid dying.”
“Do you want revenge?” Now Bai Yan’s tone was getting cold and serious.
“Revenge?” The fatty quickly waves hand in a panic, shaking his head to get the point through. “Please don’t make this joke with . Mu Leng is Elder Muzhen’s disciple. In the entire elder council, that old woman has more than enough power to crush a lowly grunt like and cover it up without anyone knowing.”
“Oh, is that so?” Nodding at the man’s insistence, “If you are not interested in revenge then I won’t force you. However, I am a woman of standard. Any debt must be paid in equal exchange. Regarding the part about you revealing to Mu Leng, I expect you to repay with your life as compensation.”
Originally the fatty rchant was already getting ready to issue a sigh of relief, but to hear this threatening statent from out of the blue, he could literally cry tears of foul!
“And you call that not forcing ? How do you expect to refuse when you’re threatening my life!”
All serious in return: “Of course I’m not forcing you, just that… I like equal exchanges. Who told you to expose to those people?”
Crying in grievance now, the fat rchant knew he’s now on the hook: “Then what do you want to do?”
“Nothing much, only you coming out at the critical mont to act as a witness. And as an extra asure of safety, you will follow from now on.”
