Chapter 1538: An Ending
Lan Ling’er did not know of Jing Xi’s plan and had no idea that the Jing Ruyue she was meeting face to face with was actually Jing Xi in disguise.
“Auntie Jing, nice to meet you.”
“Who are you?” Jing Xi asked, mimicking Jing Ruyue’s voice as she looked at Lan Ling’er in the mirror.
“That’s not important. I’m here because someone has an important message to give you,” Lan Ling’er said.
“What’s the message?” Jing Xi turned around and asked.
“It’s all written in here.”
Lan Ling’er handed Jing Xi a letter with Jing Ruyue’s name written on the envelope.
Jing Xi opened it and read through the contents.
The letter basically mentioned that Jing Ruyue had to go to the Mangshan Canyon if she wanted to learn where her other child was.
As expected, Yun Xuerou used her trump card to lure Jing Ruyue to her.
She even chose the place where Little Apple had gone missing.
Jing Xi decided that she could listen to what Yun Xuerou had to say and learn where her brother was before taking her down.
“Did she send you?” Jing Xi asked, pretending to be surprised. “Do you know where she is? She mentioned that she’s going to wait for me at Mangshan Canyon… Can you take me there?”
“I can…,” Lan Ling’er replied. “But I hope you can bring Jing Xi or Huo Yunshen with us too. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
Lan Ling’er had been forced to play the messenger role by her aunt. It was something she didn’t want to do, and she definitely did not want to see Jing Xi’s family getting hurt.
“Don’t worry. Just lead the way!”
Jing Xi was holding back on the information that her husband and other JS members were laying out traps waiting for Yun Xuerou to bite.
All they wanted to do was to end whatever happened between Jing Ruyue and Yun Xuerou.
Apprehending Yun Xuerou was their actual goal.
Jing Xi followed Lan Ling’er out. Since they were prepared for it, no one tried to stop them.
They went into Lan Ling’er’s car and drove towards the north of Estan.
Half an hour after they had departed, the performance began.
Jing Ruyue stood on the stage with Artemis in her hands.
She felt a little dizzy after a 20-year hiatus. She was now standing in front of a huge crowd again.
But it was her daughter’s words before she went onto the stage that calmed her down.
Jing Ruyue rested Artemis on her shoulder and closed her eyes. The notes were already forming in her head, and she began to play the violin.
She believed that music has the power to give strength to people’s souls.
So, she started with a piece that was about winning and success, praying that her daughter could be successful in her mission and return safely.
…
The car stopped at Mangshan. Jing Xi and Lan Ling’er got out of the car and walked towards the canyon.
They finally arrived at the canyon that looked like a Chinese dragon sleeping among the mountains. It was giving out an eerie and mysterious vibe to whoever visited there.
“Wait for me here.”
