Chapter 1204 - “Seeking One’s Own Death (1)”
“Why would you ask that Auntie Ning? What does this have to do with me?”
“Alright, I only hope that’s the case. If I find out you are behind this incident then I won’t let you off even if I’m the one who watched you grow!”
Due to the warning tone used there, Ning Yu’s jealousy only grew in kind. “Auntie Ning, I would never do such a thing.”
“I only hope that’s the case.” Bai Ning gives a nod then gradually shifting her attention back to the madam: “So you are not afraid of death?”
Not afraid of death? Of course not! How’s that possible? In fact, the dirty looking madam has long been shaking in the legs due to fear. She wished she could confess the truth but couldn’t.
Gritting those teethes: “So what if I’m afraid? Will you not kill me if I say yes?”
“Tell me who’s directing you then I will spare your life, otherwise….” Mixed in her usual voice now was a chilling note, indicating Bai Ning meant exactly what she said there about the consequences.
Going white in the face over that threat, “Then you might as well just kill me!”
The madam wasn’t some heartless ruthless killer like Ning Yu and her father. Compared to dragging her own family and son into this mess further, the woman would rather die alone in this case and spare her own loved ones.
“If you’re not afraid of death then how about not being to die despite wanting to die?” Bai Ning continues to lead the conversation down a path she knew would strike fear.
Not being able to die despite wanting to die?
The middle-aged madam widens her eyes in shock, “What do you mean by that?”
“The meaning is very simple, since you don’t want to give out the mastermind then why don’t I let you experience what it means to be pierced by a thousand knives?” Staring down at her prey with a devilish smirk, Bai Ning’s aura was bone chilling, a testimony to her true character when confronting an enemy.
Unable to die?
Pain of a thousand knives?
This woman can be that cruel?
“Auntie Ning!” Ning Yu quivered and cuts in. She’s afraid of the dirty looking madam spilling the beans due to fear at this moment. “Isn’t that too cruel? Although she did frame Sister Bai Yan, but I believe having her pay with her life is enough. Being unable to die but can’t is much too cruel of a fate for the crime she committed.”
Unmoved on the face, Bai Ning turns to face the girl, which sent shudders down Ning Yu’s heart and made her stop. That’s not a face Ning Yu has ever seen and it’s left her speechless.
“Are you sure you want to sacrifice yourself for that mastermind?” Bai Ning asks again after shutting the annoyance down.
The repeated asking did make the madam waver somewhat, but at the thought of her own son for the second time already, the madam knew she couldn’t. “All of this is done and orchestrated by me and me alone, there’s no other people involved!”
Getting nowhere with her interrogation techniques, Bai Ning was about to get serious and draw her blade when Bai Yan stopped her with a raised hand….
“Yan’er, what’s the matter?” She asks with a puzzled look.
“Mother, I said I’ll take care of this, you just need to wait for me. I will make her talk.”
