“Yes, I can. I can eat any food now. The doctor said that it was extremely lucky that none of my internal organs were hurt. But, I have to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.”
Rong Mo smiled and began peeling the apple with the fruit knife.
Lin’s assistant stared at Rong Mo just like that—his long fingers were truly amazing to watch. In his hands, peeling the skin was just like an art show as the skin drooped down without breaking apart at all.
Pondering for a moment, she still decided to tell Rong Mo.
“Mr. Rong, that day… Sister Yi went to look for Su Ya. That’s the same Su Ya I texted you about who gave her the call…”
Rong Mo raised her head and looked at Lin’s assistant upon hearing that.
Lin’s assistant then gulped, revealing a lingering fear on her face. “Sister Yi had me wait downstairs with the driver for her. I don’t know what Su Ya told Sister Yi, but she seemed completely shaken and terrified when she came down, shivering entirely and her face pale as a sheet. I asked her what was wrong, but she was really uneasy and mumbled strange things as though she was possessed.”
Rong Mo handed the assistant the peeled apple. “What did she say?”
Lin’s assistant took a small bite on the apple, as though she was calming her nerves.
She only continued after swallowing. “She said…’She’s a murderer. I know that she had killed’. She even said …’I’m the stupid one. It was because of my stupidity that I was used by her, and it was that same stupidity that had me spilling things out. What should I do? She had already killed back then just to keep this a secret! But, she did not know that I knew about it back then. Now that she knows, she’ll definitely not let me off’. Those were the things that she had roughly said. And by the looks of it, she looked horrified when she said those words.”
“And the car accident happened right after?”
“That’s right. She even said something else…” Lin’s assistant paused for a moment and recalled. “She said that it was retribution… retribution for betraying Mo Feifei. She even mentioned another name. I forgot about the name, but she said that the person was merely a façade and decoy that Su Ya was using to hide her true motives. Right after she said that, the huge truck beat the red light and crashed into us…”
Lin’s assistant shuddered and continued, “After the accident, Sister Yi did not pass away right away. She told me something. She said that Su Ya killed… and nothing else. As for whom she killed, I do not know.”
In reality, she wanted to say that the person killed might be Mo Feifei. However, Rong Mo’s entire expression was grim, just like an overcast sky with a storm brewing.
Suddenly, the entire room was extremely silent as Lin’s assistant felt her heart hovering. She guessed that the reason she was alright presently was because Su Ya had not expected that Lin Yi’er would have told her everything in the car.
She eyed Rong Mo—his dark gaze was focused and complex such that no one could guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Could the person Su Ya have killed be Mo Feifei? Could Mo Feifei truly be Rong Mo’s sister?
There were a lot of questions on Lin’s assistant’s mind. However, she decided to ask nothing. The more she knew, the higher the chances that she might end up dying… just like Lin Yi’er.
She merely commented worriedly to Rong Mo. “You must be… careful?”
“I will, thank you!” Rong Mo smiled at her.
The words of Lin’s assistant were like a thread that bound many things together. Even though it looked complicated on the surface, if one were to get at the core of it all, they might be able to unravel this entire affair and possibly find out about everything.
Shi Guang… did she know Mo Feifei?
That girl had always been kind to her. Perhaps she ought to trust her once?
At their meeting later on, perhaps she could ask Shi Guang about Mo Feifei? Perhaps, she might find out who Mo Feifei was at that time, and perhaps… who she herself was?
