Chapter 30: loyalty
Chapter 30: loyalty
After the meal ended, Sun Jie regained consciousness and realized what she had just done
Sun Jie was a little shy and lowered her head due to embarrassment
"Hahahahaha, no need to be shy, anyone will have this reaction after tasting my food."
Sun Jie couldn't respond to this bragging of She Tu because she behaved absurd moments ago and thought that even the world's leading gourmets would behave the same.
Both left the table and sat in the guest room where there was a table containing some fruits and juice
Sun Jie sat in moderation and looked at Shi Tu seriously waiting for what he had to say after the previous humorous mood had disappeared, but she was stealing some looks towards the fruit because she couldn't forget the previous taste
Shi Tu carefully looked at Sun Jie and said directly, did not like turning and turning
"You will never be able to back off, do you understand?" She Tu's tone was a little skeptical and cold
"I understand that well and I am fully prepared," Sun Jie answered firmly and was determined to do everything to find out her mother's killer.
"Sun Jie, you are not stupid, and since your family stripped you of everything you own, you know very well what they are thinking of they even sent her with you." Shi Tu pointed out to Yu Ying and his intention was clear: she is here to watch you.
"I understand very well and am willing to take all risks as long as you tell me who killed my mom and don't worry, I trust Sister Yu Ying."
' Trust? naive girl trust between the two of you is impossible '
Shi Tu mocked Sun Jie's naive thought and wanted to see her reaction quickly
"You have some determination here. Well, who do you want to know? Killer, mediator or hirer?"
Obviously, whoever wanted to kill Sun Jie's mother didn't do it personally and hired a killer to do it so there were three parties involved
"All of them," Sun Jie replied without hesitation, because she hated everyone involved in her mother's death and wanted to kill them
"Well, I am glad to tell you that the killer is in this place."
Shi Tu said with a playful smile with some expectation
" What?! "
Sun Jie stood by because of surprise
"Oh, not just the killer, but the mediator, too," Shi Tu added with a brighter smile than the previous one
"What?!, what? How did you do that?" Sun Jie said in trembling voice, and she couldn't believe what she was hearing
Initially, Sun Jie was skeptical of Shi Tu's ability, but after his show, Sun Jie believed that Shi Tu would be able to determine their identity but not catch them and bring them to her easily and most importantly even if he was able to do so why did he have to make all this effort for her? Sun Jie was not narcissistic but she started to think that she really affected Shi Tu
"So .... can you bring them here? Or are they underground?"
Sun Jie sat again and calmed down a little, but happiness was apparent on her face. After all, this has been her dream for the past four years.
Shi Tu tried to hold back the laughter, but an amusing smile appeared on his face
This look made Sun Jie feel that something is not right
Since Sun Jie entered, she have not met anyone except the guards at the gate, and there is no building to be seen, let alone lack of servants, so how can he detain a killer here? This requires at least some guards and a special room but it does not look like there is such a room here
An incredible expression appeared on Sun Jie's face because she realized something and looked at Shi Tu in a grisly expression awaiting his answer, which she did not want to believe.
"It seems you already realized it. The killer is standing right behind you while his master is standing in front of you."
" You are.. "
Sun Jie looked at Yu Ying with the coldest look she used in her life but she did not give up hope. She was waiting for Yu Ying to deny it.
Yu Ying was Sun's best friend although she was the maid of the Sun family but she treated her as her family or she did not choose her to accompany her
Yu Ying was the most loyal to Sun Jie that she was even willing to die for her. Even her family didn't know how close their relationship was, or Sun Hongjun wouldn't have agreed to let her observe Sun Jie, but Shi Tu says she was the killer of her mother?
Sun Jie was completely ignored Yu Ying
Yu Ying stared at Shi Tu with a strange expression that was not confirmed and denied, and continued staring at Shi Tu with some suspicion before saying anything because some doubts have come to her.
But this silence was a nightmare for Sun Jie because this reinforces the veracity of what Shi Tu said
Yu Ying realized her mistake but it was too late to shout angrily at Shi Tu so she looked at him with a cold look and she was about to talk but Shi Tu first said
"002819"
"Your majesty!!"
Yu Ying's coldness and confusion evaporated and immediately knelt in front of Shi Tu as soon as he said this number and said with the utmost respect
This was a unique number for her alone because each member of the league has his own serial number that only the killer himself and Shi Tu know, so she never doubt Shi Tu
Permanent-use members such as Su Fei also carry a serial number in addition to a nickname for its partners to use. As for Yu Ying, she does not have a nickname because she works directly under the command of Shi Tu and no one other than Shi Tu and her father knows that she is from the league. After all, the Yu family is loyal to the league for Ten generations, they chosen seven generations ago to infiltrate the Sun family during its construction and no other matter was issued from then until four years ago.
Sun Jie no longer had any other doubts and realized how Shi Tu knew what she preferred, as it was revealed that Yu Ying was a spy who was reporting to Shi Tu
In fact, it was not like that and Shi Tu had other ways to know these things because he would not risk exposing the Yu family in the Sun family's core for such a petty reason.
"Why did you kill my mom? Didn't we treat you well? I treated you like my sister and told you all my secrets Why did you kill her? What benefit did you get? Is it money? If you asked me, I would give you all the money you want Why did you not tell us? Why?! Are all the feelings between us were a lie? Didn't all those times you spent with us mean anything to you? Or did everything lie from the beginning?"
Sun Jie couldn't stand it and screamed hysterically with red eyes wet with tears because this betrayal was a big shock to her
Although she suffered from society and knew its darkness so well that she was often scheming, she remains a weak woman in the end.
Shi Tu nodded to Yu Ying, she would not dare say anything without Shi Tu's permission
"Mistress, I also consider you as my family and ready to die for you, but for me there is something more important than family, love, friendship and even my life, my loyalty to my master, as long as it is my master's command I will do anything no matter how despicable even if he orders me to die for the sake of entertainment then I will die without hesitation, my master has commanded me To kill your mother and did it, in all my life This is the only order I received from my master and I have no regrets at all. "
Yu Ying spoke vehemently and convinced that she was convinced that she was only living to fulfill her master's orders because this is the knowledge she was infused into since her birth.
"You are. Is your mind healthy? How ...."
Sun Jie stopped and couldn't say anything else because she saw the amount of determination and intolerance in Yu Ying's eyes and mysteriously realized that if she said anything insulting Shi Tu, she would lose her life here no matter how much she cared about her.
Sun Jie sighed and calmed down a few moments later. She cooled off, which impressed Shi Tu because most people might go crazy in this situation or at least act unreasonably.
"Who is the requestor?" Sun Jie asked coldly and her attitude from fun to indifference has turned
"John von Pearce of the Rothschilds"
Shi Tu calmly replied
"Do you know why he wanted to kill my mom?"
"Oh, the matter is simple. All of the matter is that he met your mother when she was abroad to work and tried to get her, but she ended up beating him and he hired us without knowing who she was and gave us only a picture of her and asked us to kill her of course we knew who she is so the price was astronomical but he did not hesitate to pay Because he is a direct descendant even though he is illegal for him money is just a number "
"Can I claim his life and that woman's life? I know I cannot ask for your life as you are a mediator so the blame for you is not great."
