Sheng Liuyun strode over, snatched Little Xiangru from his younger sister’s hands, and placed him back in the fish tank with a stern expression. "Little Sister, don’t you know that as mbers of the Dragon Clan, we cannot eat carp? If a Dragon Clan mber eats carp, their intestines will rot! Don’t even think about this Little Liyu anymore. Hand it over to , and I’ll set it free."
WHIMPER, WHIMPER...
Little Xiangru was simply too moved upon hearing Sheng Liuyun’s voice.
I’ve narrowly escaped death, and now I just want to be set free quickly! If it weren’t for my recent efforts to accrue good deeds, which prevent from transforming into a human baby, I wouldn’t have been caught so easily! I’ll never admit that it was my gluttony that made fall for the trick and beco soone else’s al!
"So, the Dragon Clan can’t eat carp? My apologies. I’m a wild dragon, so I’m not familiar with the Dragon Clan’s rules. However, I wasn’t planning to eat it. This Little Liyu is adorable. It’s perfect for taking back and raising in a fish tank, so I won’t set it free. I’ll take it back for Little Liangliang and the others to play with."
Si Mingjing fell in love with this Little Liyu at first sight and couldn’t bear to let it go, so she snatched the fish tank back from Sheng Liuyun’s hands.
"No, it must be set free! Even keeping a carp in captivity is a grave sin!"
Si Mingjing’s brows rose as she looked doubtfully at the cute, bubble-blowing Little Liyu in the fish tank. "You seem very anxious about this Little Liyu?"
"Do I?"
Fearing his Little Sister would beco suspicious, Sheng Liuyun feigned a light cough. "I simply can’t tolerate seeing Little Liyu as a trapped creature. Look at him! He clearly doesn’t want to be confined in this tiny fish tank. The vast ocean is his true ho; he needs freedom!"
Si Mingjing’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she rebutted with conviction, "Such an adorable Little Liyu—setting it free in the ocean would be murder. It’s so small, and the sea is full of ferocious fish. If it encounters a shark, it’ll be torn to shreds in a single bite! Saving a fish’s life is more ritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. How can freedom be more important than life?"
Sheng Liuyun was speechless.
I’m speechless! Indeed, any ordinary carp would quickly beco prey in the deep sea, where the strong devour the weak. But this is Little Xiangru; it won’t be so easy for him to die! Yet, I can’t explain too much. My Little Sister is so clever; a few more words from , and she might start overthinking things. My poor Little Xiangru!
Si Mingjing then asked, "What did you want to see for?"
"Of course, it’s about important matters!"
Sheng Liuyun said, "Didn’t you ask us to investigate whether Bai Danfeng or Bai Chuanfeng is your real mother..."
Before Sheng Liuyun could finish, Si Mingjing interrupted, "Oh, I’ve already figured it out. Bai Chuanfeng is the one who gave birth to ."
"You’ve already figured it out? But how did you do so?"
Sheng Liuyun had planned to give a lengthy account of his arduous efforts, but now this...
"It was a coincidence. Bai Chuanfeng was in a car accident, her life hanging by a thread, so I infused her with Dragon Blood. Her multiple fractures healed in a short ti. Si Lisao told that unless soone had carried and nurtured for a full ten months, such a miraculous effect would be impossible. What did you find in your investigation?"
So that was it! Si Lisao hadn’t breathed a word of this to him!
Sheng Liuyun said, "I found that all the doctors and nurses who attended Bai Chuanfeng’s and Bai Danfeng’s deliveries have disappeared from the hospital’s system. So changed careers for better opportunities. Others suddenly ca into great wealth and resigned to enjoy financial independence. Still others climbed the social ladder and married into wealthy families. However, no matter how well they fared, within a few years, they all t various ends and passed away."
Si Mingjing narrowed her eyes. "They’re all dead?"
"Yes! So died in a submarine explosion two years after leaving the hospital. Others died from cardiovascular disease five or six years later. Another suffered a fatal heart attack after seven years, and one committed suicide due to depression. In short, they’re all dead. It’s highly suspicious!"
"It seems very deliberate."
Si Mingjing stroked her chin. "Were they silenced?"
Moreover, the killer was patient, not rushing to silence everyone. It took seven to eight years to eliminate them all, which shows just how much self-control Bai Chuanfeng possesses.
This nominal mother of mine is not only ruthless but also incredibly shrewd. Si Mingjing felt she had t her match.
Sheng Liuyun pulled up a chair and sat down. "Other than being silenced, what other possibility could there be? Little Sister, Bai Chuanfeng is a renowned individual in Mu Continent. She’s the matriarch of the Bai Family, a century-old household, capable of manipulating situations at will and wielding imnse influence. Originally, as your brother, I wanted to deal with her for you and avenge Si Yao. But now, I feel that with my intelligence and skills, I might not be a match for her. It seems we might need you to take matters into your own hands."
Sheng Liuyun intentionally deaned himself, hoping to coax Si Mingjing back to Mu Continent.
"No rush," Si Mingjing unexpectedly played her cards contrary to common logic.
She was determined to seek justice for her two mothers!
She had never given up on avenging her mother!
But, as Sheng Liuyun said, Bai Chuanfeng wields significant power in Mu Continent. She needed to be fully prepared. Wise people don’t fight battles they aren’t ready for!
"Still not rushing?"
The air was thick with the scent of Dragon Clan hormones!
If this drags on any longer, she’ll end up having a "second child" with Mo Yinhe!
"Little Sister, are you so preoccupied with Mo Yinhe that you can’t bear to leave him?" Sheng Liuyun deliberately tried to provoke her. "Have you beco completely love-struck?"
Si Mingjing, however, was not swayed by the reverse psychology and casually admitted, "Yes, I am completely love-struck. I can’t live without Mo Yinhe in this lifeti."
Sheng Liuyun felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, unable to spit it out or swallow it down, his face flushing a deep crimson.
"Then call Brother!"
Si Mingjing, however, remained silent.
Sheng Liuyun waited for a long ti but got no response. Frustrated, he asked, "Would calling Brother kill you?"
Although it wouldn’t kill her, it wasn’t particularly pleasant either. Si Mingjing’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Do a favor."
"Call Brother, and I’ll do it."
"Forget it then. I don’t like to coerce people."
Sheng Liuyun, unable to gain any advantage over her, felt frustrated yet had to play the sycophant. "Little Sister, how could doing sothing for you be a burden? Just say what you need. Naturally, I’m duty-bound to help. How could I dare refuse?!"
Si Mingjing said, "I want to announce to everyone in the Undersea World that I, Si Mingjing, am Bai Jiusi. I never divorced Mo Yinhe. The Bai Jiusi who brazenly claid to have divorced Mo Yinhe was an impostor who had plastic surgery to look like ."
Suddenly, Sheng Liuyun went silent; he didn’t want to help with this at all.
Si Mingjing continued, "Why so silent all of a sudden? Weren’t you just eager to help avenge our mother? Bai Qingshui is Bai Chuanfeng’s daughter. If Bai Chuanfeng allowed her own daughter to undergo plastic surgery to resemble , she must have intended to exploit my identity for her daughter’s benefit. How can I let that mother-daughter pair get away with their sche?"
Seeing Sheng Liuyun staring at the fish tank on the table, still not responding, Si Mingjing added, "This is also to lure the snake out of its hole. The individuals involved in the swap are now either dead or missing. Although I know I was replaced, I lack concrete evidence to accuse Bai Chuanfeng. If I don’t stir things up a bit, how can I force her to show her true colors?"
That made sense! The thought of that impostor walking around with his Little Sister’s face made Sheng Liuyun’s blood boil. "Little Sister, just tell , what do you need to do?"
