Terrible Speculation

Qi Zhi'an thought that Xia Xibei might have said the wrong person.

"Ling Juan? Did you say Ling Juan?" 

He couldn't resist repeating it.

"Yes," Xia Xibei nodded, "It's her."

"You're not mistaken, are you? She is your biological mother!" Qi Zhi'an couldn't help but shout.

Ling Juan was Xia Xibei's birth mother! How could she have done such a thing to her?!

"I originally thought it was strange too, but I got the driver to talk, and it was indeed her," Xia Xibei sighed and looked very distressed.

Qi Zhi'an's expression suddenly became serious. 

"What did he say?"

"He said... A middle-aged woman asked him to do it."

"Middle-aged woman?"

"Right," Xia Xibei nodded, "And before that, I think I saw her."

"When did you see her?" Qi Zhi'an became even more curious.

"It was when I was in M before."

Xia Xibei explained. "I got targeted in M, so I went to investigate, and then I found out about a woman."
