Chapter 144 - Pawn ("He has the right to know.") (3)

Mu Jiyong's look stiffened. Finally, he fished out
his cellphone and dialed a series of number. After
a while, the call was picked up on the other end. He
only said one line, "Take care of that woman."

Xu Lisa finally understood why Mu Jungkook had let
Wang Lia go the other day.

Recalling the scars on Mu Jungkook, all of them caused by Wang Lia. His other lost her sight from crying too much and died after that. His grandfather died during his most difficult time in life. How would he let Wang Lia go and spend her time comfortably in prison?

It was because he wasn't going to dirty his own hands.

He knew about this all along and purposefully did
not bring it up. He even told Mu Jiyong that he had a
surprise waiting for him.

He knew all along that Mu Jiyong would want Wang
Lia dead when he found out the true. That way, all
he needed to do was to sit and watch.

Xu Lisa admired him more and more now.

As this was their private family matters, Xu Lisa
no longer wished to continue listening to the rest of
them, nor did she want to make the situation more
difficult for the Mu's. She stood up and said, "Jungkook , Mr. Mu, I have somewhere else to be, so I am taking off now. You two carry on with your conversation."

Having said that she walked out with her purse and
departed from JJK.

Outside of JJK, she didn't see her nanny van.

Xu Lisa found that odd so she gave Xiao Rose a
call. It rang for a long while but Xiao Rose did not
pick up. After she hung up, she received a text from
her phone, letting her know that the car was in the
underground parking lot.

Xu Lisa went back inside of JJK and went
down to the underground parking lot. She walked
over to the location that Xiao Rose had texted her and saw her large nanny van.

She got into the backseat as usual, tossed her purse
aside, and asked, "Well, Xiao Rose, you got any good
news for me?"

Who would have thought? Her car had tinted car
windows so it was impossible to see the inside from
the outside. She just noticed that the one sitting in the
passenger seat was not Xiao Rose but Mu Sehun.

He pulled out a sharp knife and pointed it straight at
Xu Lisa. "No, I don't have any good news. I have a
lot of bad news though."

At this distance, Xu Lisa could easily have him
under control with her magic. But she didn't want
to do that. She wanted to find out what was his plan.

She sneered. "You are the son of Ms. Wang Lia.
Both of you enjoy this kidnapping trope. Say, are
you working with Mu Jiyong to get Mu Jungkook away from me?"

"Something like that, but I am not working with that
old idiot." Mu Sehun cocked her head and told the
driver to start the car. "Oh, sister-in-law, there are
certain things that even if Mu Jungkook had found
out he should not have shared that information. That
way perhaps I'd still let him live. Once things get ugly, don't blame me for being ruthless The old man had already told his man in prison to act. I don't think my mom is going to make it. Say, how should I take that out on you?"

From what Mu Sehun was saying, it'd seem that he
knew all along that he wasn't the son of Mu Jiyong.

He was an accessory to Wang Lia in scheming
Mu Jiyong out of his money. Now that his plan has
been exposed, who knew what he was planning on
doing next. Xu Lisa sat quietly in the backseat,
waiting to see what his next move was.
