Chapter 21. Gentleness is a Poison 1

"Mianmian, you're too soft-hearted. Anyway, in a few days he'll have to let you out, he can't lock you up forever. Remember, you need to fight for as much freedom as possible in front of him, to make our next steps easier. Understand?"

"Oh..."

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll make some arrangements, and you'll see him in a few days."

"Yuanzi..." she suddenly called out, "how is the investigation going, the one I asked you about?"

"Oh, right, about that. My investigation found out that your mom and Gong Heng's mom were close friends, just like besties, like us. They met abroad during college and were inseparable, like cotton candy stuck together. Your mom and Gong Mian seemed to have had some kind of relationship, but I'm not sure yet, I'll keep investigating. I'll let you know as soon as I have news."

"Thank you."

"What are you talking about, silly? You and I being polite to each other? Alright then, bye for now."
