Chapter 248_1

After a while, Yin Chen also laughed, murmuring under his breath, "No wonder he's so fond of you. You resemble your mother so much — so righteous and tough that we instinctively want to bend you to our will, eager to see you struggle."

You Mingxu's guard went up, his response made her sense danger. Yet, another thought stirred within her: Yin Chen's tone when talking about her mother was filled with manipulation and a destructive desire. Could it be... what he said about admiration and love was all a lie? His relationship with her mother wasn't like that at all. Perhaps he said those words with the intent to provoke her and Xing Jifu?

Could it even be that he was the true culprit who killed her mother all those years ago? Back then, the police had identified a deranged killer who was found dead in an apartment in a gruesome state.

But Yin Chen's manner when talking about her mother now, the lurking madness, made her feel something was off.
