After Tong Mo had slept enough, she opened her eyes and saw Li Zijue sitting across the bed on the sofa with a stern face.
Mysteriously, her heart suddenly skipped two beats.
"Li Zijue, has something happened to my mom again?"
She immediately ran up to him without even putting on her shoes.
"Why would you ask that?" Li Zijue raised an eyebrow before he said, "Your mom is fine."
Upon hearing this, Tong Mo could finally breathe a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death..."
After catching her breath, she couldn’t help but glare at him, "By the way, why did you look so upset just now?"
If his face hadn’t been so sour, she wouldn’t have mistakenly thought something had happened to her mom.
Li Zijue moved his lips and still ended up telling her everything the servants had found out, "Your mother’s accident was deliberate."
"It was really deliberate?" Tong Mo couldn’t help but exclaim.
Although she had suspected that the incident might have been done on purpose, a suspicion was just a suspicion, but now, hearing the concrete answer, she couldn’t help but feel terrified.
"Who exactly wants to harm my mother?"
As she spoke, Tong Mo couldn’t help but grit her teeth, wishing she could grind the perpetrator into dust.
Li Zijue shook his head, "It was your stepmother, Liu Zhi, who had hired people from the streets to do it."
"What?" Tong Mo immediately gasped in disbelief, "Why would she do that?"
After asking, she didn’t wait for Li Zijue to answer and guessed it herself, "I know, she must have been trying to stop me from registering our marriage with you!"
She had always known Liu Zhi was extremely malicious, but she could never have imagined she would go to such lengths.
Indeed, evil people have no limits!
"I want to sue her! I want her to go to prison!" Tong Mo’s hands clenched tightly, her beautiful face now filled with rage, as she asked Li Zijue again, "You’ve found the person Liu Zhi bribed, haven’t you? Where is he now? I want to find him!"
"No need to look for him." Li Zijue sighed softly, "He’s already dead..."
"Dead?" Tong Mo’s eyebrows immediately furrowed deeply.
"Yes." Li Zijue nodded, continuing, "Their boss saw that the matter had leaked and, fearing collateral damage to himself, had already secretly killed him."
"So that means... I’m now without any proof?" Tong Mo’s eyes couldn’t hide her disappointment.
She had finally found the murderer, but in the end, this was the outcome.
Li Zijue touched the girl’s head, casual in his tone, "Sometimes, you don’t necessarily have to go through official channels to punish evil-doers."
Before Tong Mo could finish, she heard Li Zijue continue, "I will take care of Liu Zhi for you."
"No." Tong Mo refused, her eyes turning cold and fierce, "I want to avenge my mother myself!"
And she also wanted to avenge the countless times she had been bullied both openly and secretly!
Since she was determined to personally wield the blade against her enemy, Li Zijue decided to let her do it.
If she succeeded, all would be well and good; if not, he was still there to protect her from behind.
Tong Mo was a person of decisive action, saying she wanted to seek revenge meant she wanted it immediately.
But Liu Zhi was always cautious and meticulous, it was virtually impossible to find any major fault with her.
As for minor faults, they were meaningless.
So Tong Mo planned to start with Tong Nian.
Compared to her cunning, scheming mother Tong Nian, she was purely foolish, knowing nothing but to put on airs.
