Curiously, she leaned in closer.
"Miss, after raising you all these years, why are you doing this?" Zhang Ayi's voice was filled with accusation, her eyes red and desperate as she shouted into the phone.
"What have I done?" Liu Ru Yan was taken aback by their swift actions; she hadn't even spoken yet, and they had already taken matters into their own hands.
"Are you trying to drive Zhang Ayi to her death?"
"That's an interesting thing to say, Zhang Ayi. I haven't done anything; how could I be the one to drive you to death?"
Liu Ru Yan disliked the accusatory tone. What was this all about? Even if she had done something wrong, it shouldn't be the first response to question her. They should first reflect on their own actions.
"Miss Liu, this is the last time I will call you 'miss.' Just because I gave you poison once, do you think you can bully us orphans like this?"
Listening to those words, Liu Ru Yan felt a wave of sarcasm wash over her. What did she mean by "just gave poison once"? Did she really intend to harm her?
Zhang Ayi choked up. "I didn't mean to harm you; it's just that you all have gone too far."
Hearing this made Liu Ru Yan feel that there was no need for further conversation. This person had clearly lost her mind.
"Zhang Ci, you need to understand that I didn't force your hand to take that poison. If you think it’s my fault, then so be it."
Liu Ru Yan hung up the phone first.
Zhang Ci collapsed in despair by the edge of the bed. The room was in disarray, everything turned upside down, and even Xiao Xiao was nowhere to be found.
That was why she had dared to call Liu Ru Yan; normally, she wouldn't have had the courage. Now, as she listened to the cold beeping on the other end after hanging up, a sense of dread washed over her.
Would this lead to even harsher retaliation? Would Xiao Xiao still be okay?
She quickly grabbed her phone, trying to call again, but again and again, there was no answer.
In the cold room, a series of sobs echoed; the sound carried both despair and frustration.
Liu Ru Yan felt a surge of irritation, and now she was being inexplicably disgusted. She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
Liu Yuchuan was just thinking about giving Tang Mu Xuan some advice when his phone rang. He raised his hand to stop his words.
"Xiao Yan, what is it?" Liu Yuchuan's voice sounded completely different from before. At that moment, he seemed more like an elder, devoid of any semblance of a social elite.
"Where did you take Xiao Xiao?" Liu Yuchuan felt he had misheard; how could he be hearing Liu Ru Yan's voice again? He looked at his phone in surprise, confirming that it was indeed Liu Ru Yan on the line.
"Why do you say that?" Liu Yuchuan didn’t admit anything but glanced at Mo Wan, who did not avert her gaze. She stared intently at the phone in Liu Yuchuan's hand.
"Stop pretending. Next time, please handle it properly and don’t leave any loose ends for me." Liu Ru Yan knew that Liu Yuchuan and Mo Wan were involved in this matter. She didn’t want to beat around the bush; after stating her purpose, she hung up the phone.
Lan Ruo Yi watched Liu Ru Yan, who was radiating cold energy, and a fleeting look of nostalgia crossed her eyes, quickly followed by a hint of sadness.
Was Lan Ruo Yi feeling a bit melancholic? This emotion didn’t seem like something she should be experiencing, but she didn’t dwell on it.
"I thought of a situation; do you remember the incident in Li Meng's office?" Lan Ruo Yi looked at the puzzled Liu Ru Yan and reminded her, "You said you didn’t see anyone, but I did! That time! Do you remember?"
Liu Ru Yan recalled that incident; she had thought it was something supernatural and had been quite frightened for a while.
"What’s going on? Why are we talking about that now?"
"Look at this," Lan Ruo Yi said as she took out a surveillance camera and placed it in Liu Ru Yan's hands.
"Where did you come from?" Liu Ru Yan was truly shocked. This person had been with her almost every day; where could they have appeared from?
Lan Ruo Yi smiled mysteriously and dialed a number. "Send the things over."
What things?
There was a knock at the door, and Tu Nan arrived with a computer and a box.
Liu Ru Yan understood what the computer meant, but what about the box?
"Miss, everything you requested is here," Tu Nan said respectfully to Lan Ruo Yi, standing beside the box.
At that moment, he felt that it was no surprise that he was the boss's family; he had the same decisiveness as the boss.
Lan Ruo Yi stepped forward and opened the box. Liu Ru Yan looked inside and saw Xiao Xiao.
"Did you do this?"
Liu Ru Yan was taken aback; she hadn't expected Lan Ruo Yi to take such action. Wouldn't calling her just be throwing a tantrum?
Lan Ruo Yi nodded, unable to hide her pride. "It was me."
"Then why didn't you say anything when I called earlier?" Liu Ru Yan found it hard to accept that after all her efforts, she was now being told it was Lan Ruo Yi who did it.
"Oh, didn't you say not to tell them? I just contacted Tu Nan secretly, but I swear, my brother really didn’t know."
Lan Ruo Yi raised her finger to assure Liu Ru Yan.
"Take a look at what's on the computer."
Listening to Lan Ruo Yi's words, Liu Ru Yan inserted the disk into the computer, her expression changing with what appeared on the screen.
Tu Nan was also shocked. So that's how it was?
Liu Ru Yan exclaimed, "Then what was I so scared about before? Was it fun?"
She stared at Lan Ruo Yi in disbelief, not thinking that she could be capable of such things.
Her worldview felt somewhat shattered, but it was okay; she could hold on.
