Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 1096 - Chapter 1096 Chapter 1095 Decision

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: Decision Chapter 1096: Chapter 1095: Decision “Why didn’t you break free?”

“You think it’s too simple,” Leng Ran shook her head, “I am powerless to break free, and I don’t want to. Nan Fei, you don’t understand, I am a member of Leng’s family, and those things can be addictive.”

Leng Ran suddenly stood up, looking at her with pity. “You and I are the same; we are both chess pieces. I am a chess piece in Leng Peixi’s hands, and you are a chess piece in Huo Beijiang’s hands. I am telling you this today because I do not want Silly to be innocently dragged into this.”

Nan Fei looked at her expressionlessly.

“Can you promise me?”

“Fine!” Nan Fei didn’t believe a word Leng Ran said. Even if there was truth in her words, deception wouldn’t sway her determination.

“That’s settled then! It’s not in vain that Silly and I grew up together,” said Leng Ran as she got up.

“Wait!”

“What is it?”

“What I want to tell you is that I am not a chess piece called by Huo Beijiang; I am his wife.” A slow, splendid smile bloomed on Nan Fei’s lips, her gaze upon Leng Ran calm, controlled, and lucid.

Without altering her expression, Leng Ran was secretly shocked and became all the more cautious.

It seemed she had truly underestimated Jiang Nanfei in the past. If it had been anyone else, they would have wavered by now. But no matter, she was prepared for more than just this.

Nan Fei called out to Leng Ran again as she was about to leave.

“You want to retrieve that watch, don’t you?”

“It seems you know,” Leng Ran thought with even greater alarm. She wouldn’t have been surprised if Huo Beijiang knew, but for Jiang Nanfei to also know… From her observations, Huo Beijiang would not have allowed Jiang Nanfei to take risks.

So he would never have told her these things.

“Take it!” After saying this, Nan Fei stopped looking at Leng Ran and slowly savored her hot cocoa. It wasn’t until she finished the drink that she returned to the bedroom with her empty cup.

But the watch was already gone from the bedside table.

Nan Fei’s face was indescribably pale, but her eyes shone astonishingly bright.

Since Leng Ran had made her choice, Nan Fei would certainly not show mercy. She would consider the watch as the totality of the friendship she shared with Luo Anjie during their high school years.

In the car anxiously sitting outside the villa’s back gate, Shi Cin had been restless since she learned of Yu Fengji’s appearance.

With a relaxed demeanor, Feng Sha looked down upon her anxiety and said sarcastically, “Just Yu Fengji has you this scared?”

“Don’t forget how A Rong died!” Shi Cin knew A Rong, even had a good relationship with him.

“That’s because he was courting death,” replied Feng Sha carelessly, “He knew it was certain death and still jumped in.”

Shi Cin, not daring to offend Feng Sha, merely expressed her opinion. “I know you’re not A Rong, but Yu Fengji is not Ying Jiuming either. Half of our business on Dark Street was destroyed by Yu Fengji. Over the years of wits and bravery, I know his dreadfulness better than anyone.”

She wasn’t a good person, in fact, she was someone who had done all sorts of bad things, and naturally feared the police. She wasn’t like Feng Sha and those who didn’t care about their own lives – for bad people often fear death the most.

“Here she comes!” Feng Sha spotted Leng Ran emerging from the villa. “See, nothing much, right?”

Shi Cin didn’t speak. If Leng Ran really managed to retrieve the evidence, then she would truly admire Leng Ran’s methods.

Sure enough, Leng Ran didn’t disappoint. After getting in the car, she threw the watch to Shi Cin as if it were trash. “See if this is the one; you all are embarrassingly inept.”
