Upon hearing this, Bai Yinman let out an unrestrained cold laugh, "Hahaha, just because I became a mother and took over the maternity advertisement endorsement that Hu Jiao has always been jealous of, do I deserve this? Does a mere endorsement justify taking a life...?"
"So it seems, Hu Jiao hates me, could it be because she wants to be the leading lady in the drama I've acted in?" Han Dai also came to a realization.
Shaking with fury, Bai Yinman's eyes were filled with a torrent of hatred, "I'm going to kill Hu Jiao with my own hands!!"
"I'd like to slaughter her too, for digging such a deep pit for me, but... I don't even know where she is right now." Han Dai stroked her chin, "The Xiangshan production team notified her to come back for filming, and she hasn't shown up ever since; she's been missing till now."
"Leave that matter to me, I'll go find Hu Jiao tomorrow."
I gave Bai Yinman and Han Dai a pill of reassurance, and forewarned them of the consequences, letting them know that as ordinary people they had no place to interfere, "Hu Jiao is just an artist, there must be someone behind her, so the harm she did to you might just be incidental; the person behind the scenes...their real motive is to create a zombie demon."
"There's someone else behind this?"
"Mhm, I will find you tomorrow and arrange for you to cooperate with me on a matter."
Afterward, I went to the old butler and had him arrange a room for me to rest and sleep.
Too many changes had taken place in a single day.
My bones felt like they were falling apart, as I slumped in the vine chair of the room.
The baby inside me had given Yun Hao its Heart Blood and fallen into a deep sleep for self-healing.
Touching my heavy belly, my heart longed for Yu Longting more than ever.
I wanted to hug him, to listen to his voice.
Was he in seclusion right now? Would it be too much to disturb him?
Or was he with Qing Li...
The thought of Yu Longting and Qing Li sharing a room.
Made me throw caution to the wind; I angrily dialed Yu Longting's phone number.
I waited for a long time, and just when I was about to hang up and call again,
The phone was picked up.
Before I could even speak, an extremely cold female voice came from the other end, "Su Wan? What urgent matter do you have with Snake Lord? I'll have you know, he's very busy."
"Liu Hongluan? How come you're answering Yu Longting's phone?" I recognized right away the voice full of cold disdain on the other end of the line belonged to Liu Hongluan.
Liu Hongluan laughed coldly, as if she had heard some extremely laughable joke, "I'm sharing a room with Snake Lord, why do you think I answered his phone? You're just a mere mortal, do you really think he would keep waiting for you? You're nothing but a plaything he's momentarily interested in..."
Her words were like blood-stained cold knives, using the cruelest words to stir up trouble between me and Yu Longting.
My face darkened instantly, and I gripped the phone tightly, "Give the phone to Yu Longting, now, immediately."
"Who do you think you are? Telling me to hand it over and I just hand it over? Stop bothering Snake Lord, or don't blame me for being rude."
Liu Hongluan's haughty warning was suddenly interrupted by a chilling, malevolent voice of a man, "Liu Hongluan, looking for death by entering my cave? Give me back my phone, or I will twist off your head immediately."
"Snake Lord... I heard you were seriously injured, and the Seal on your cave... wasn't in place, so I came in, worried that you might run into trouble during your solitary retreat. Let's do Dual Cultivation, let me... help you..."
Liu Hongluan's cold voice instantly turned seductive; she hung up the phone, making it impossible for me to hear any more.
For a moment, my heart was burning, searing me from the inside out.
This enchanting beauty of a snake was seducing my man; if it weren't for the urgency of the matter at hand, I would definitely rush into his cave and lock down this butterfly-attracting snake.
Less than half a minute later, Yu Longting called me back. His husky voice was charming and sultry with a distinct whiff of devilish air, "Wife, did you call me just now? I'm sorry, I wasn't careful and that crazy woman got her hands on my phone; I tied her up like a Chinese knot and threw her out."
