Chapter 683: Chapter 449: Mother (Third Update)_2

Mu Lin thought about the repeated assassination attempts. If her master was still alive, he probably wouldn’t want her to go down the mountain to treat people’s ailments.

Tang Qishan didn’t say anything, simply waiting silently for Mu Lin to continue.

So Mu Lin continued.

"It was not until later when I met a few friends in B City, and they took me to an auction; at that auction, one of the poisons I had once made for my master resurfaced." From that moment on, she made up her mind, "That day, I confronted the other party."

Tang Qishan was shocked, "Already?" He was surprised that she had taken action so quickly.

"Yes," confirmed Mu Lin, the corner of her mouth curling with cold determination, "I confronted them." She had managed to meet those two, but unfortunately, they were just minor figures. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have handed them over to Jing Chen and started cooperating with him, which continues till this day.

Mu Lin thought this was perhaps the right decision at that time.

"Have you figured out who they are?" Hearing Mu Lin’s words, Tang Qishan sounded quite anxious.

Mu Lin shook her head, "No I haven’t." If she had known earlier, she would have stormed their stronghold already rather than beating around the bush. Solving this issue early could let her return to her team sooner and she wouldn’t have to worry about Jing Chen who was often out on missions.

Despite a subconscious disappointment, the fact that Mu Lin could find out so much in just two months without any initial leads was quite impressive.

It was surprising that the legendary Poison Doctor turned out to be the disciple of his elder brother. If he had known earlier and found the Poison Doctor at that time, perhaps there wouldn’t be this insurmountable chasm between them. He wouldn’t be unable to see her one last time.

This was perhaps a wound that Tang Qishan won’t be able to heal for the rest of his life.

Mu Lin, how did you know about the relationship between your master and me?" Tang Qishan suddenly wanted to know. This was something he couldn’t figure out.

Mu Lin said, "The leader of the SkyNet Organization told me; we confronted each other the day before yesterday."

"What!" The day before yesterday?

Tang Qishan suddenly recalled the newspaper and news reports he saw yesterday morning, and made a connection, "You mean, the incident that happened at the Hongda Hotel, on the sixth floor, two days ago!" Indeed, in this vast C Province, besides members of that organization, who else could dare to do such a heinous act outright?

That organization should never have existed.

The Secret Room Murder Game.

The news reported that among the thirteen people who died the day before yesterday, ten were assassins. This reminded Tang Qishan of a game and a news article he once saw in a newspaper; they were somewhat similar.

Mu Lin nodded, "That was a bet between him and me." The corner of her mouth curled with a hint of coldness, "As long as I eliminated all the assassins before everyone else was killed, I would win the bet, and in return, he would tell me the answers I wanted to know."

This was a bet she had to take, regardless of the risks. And moreover, she won the bet.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, both Tang Qishan and Shen Wei were shocked.

"What do they think of human lives!" Tang Qishan was furious, nearly slamming his fist on the table, then he looked at Mu Lin, "You’re not hurt, are you?"

Mu Lin shook her head, saying: "They probably see us as toys. In their eyes, human lives are nothing, just playthings for their amusement." Mu Lin assumed this was how Mi Zheng saw things.

Shen Wei remained silent.

Indeed, toys. This made her think of her own four-year coma. That time, if she hadn’t eaten what was meant for Tang Qishan due to a twist of fate, perhaps she would have been the one to fall. The thought of it was still chillingly terrifying.

If that was the case, then the Tang Family and her wouldn’t have been able to hold on till now.

Shen Wei was really grateful, grateful then, and grateful for Mu Lin’s appearance in their lives.

All of this seemed destined by fate, or perhaps their elder brother was watching over them from the afterlife, sending his disciple to save her.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Wei’s gaze toward Mu Lin softened even more.

Shen Wei felt some sympathy for Mu Lin, for all that she had been through. She should have been a cherished daughter of heaven, but instead had suffered so much for no reason at all.

Listening to Mu Lin’s words, Tang Qishan was angry, but still felt helpless.

For some reason, his intuition told him that what that person told Mu Lin might not be entirely true.

"Mu girl, does he have some sort of ulterior motive towards you?" This was what worried him the most.

"Possibly, but I still don’t know what it is." In the beginning, it was to kill her, but now, she couldn’t see his motives clearly.

"Regardless, I hope you’ll remain careful." Tang Qishan advised, Mu Lin nodded, "I know."

After a pause, Tang Qishan continued, his eyes complex as he looked at Mu Lin, "Mu girl, are you planning to visit your... mother?" The woman who had lost her mind due to her daughter’s disappearance, a woman who was supposed to be stunningly beautiful and the happiest in the world.

"Seeing you might even help her get better," he figured. Medicine for emotional ailment must come from the heart, and Mu Lin was her only cure.

Hearing this, Mu Lin was silent.

From the beginning till now, she never thought about seeing her mother. All she wanted now was to uncover the truth, avenge her master.

The word ’mother’ felt too luxurious and unfamiliar to Mu Lin.

Now she might have a faint understanding, because of Gu Muqing, the woman who might become her mother in the future. But in the past, these words meant nothing to her.</p
