Chapter 973: I Was Wrong

Leng Peixi had already exhausted her limited emotions through various hardships and sufferings. Nevertheless, it was hard to say she wasn't upset about A Rong's death, given that he had been with her for so long and died because of her.

"Huo Beijiang?" Leng Ran stumbled, "Did he kill him?"

"Exactly!" Leng Peixi ground her teeth, "He won't let me have peace, and I won't let him have peace either."

"But... but he is your nephew," Leng Ran had overheard the conversation between Leng Peixi and A Rong, so he knew this secret, but he had never spoken of it. In a moment of emotional turmoil and loss of composure, he blurted it out.

Leng Peixi's gaze turned cold instantly as she warned, "You'd better forget what you just said."

"Yes, auntie, I was wrong."

"Hmph!" Leng Peixi snorted coldly, "Have you completed the task I gave you last time?"

"No!" Leng Ran shook his head, "Jiang Nanfei and He Shasha are still doing military training in the army, I can't get in touch with them yet."
