The Truth From All Those Years Ago

Lu Liangwei was shocked. "Mother, someone tried to assassinate you when you left?"

Ling Lihua nodded. "Yes. I wonder if that group of assassins had anything to do with the mastermind behind all this. I was pushed to the edge of a cliff back then, though I had dispatched most of the assassins. Your father arrived close to the end of the brawl, and I took the opportunity to jump off the cliff."

Lu Liangwei had a thought. "So, getting revenge on Father was not the only reason you jumped off the cliff. The main reason you jumped was to make your assailants think that you were dead?"

Ling Lihua replied with slight unease. "Indeed, I jumped because I wanted the person who ordered my assassination to think that I was dead. After all, I just wanted to leave quietly. I didn't want to be hunted down continuously all my life. Even so, the main reason I did that was still because I wanted revenge on your father!"
