Chapter 408: Who Is the Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Chapter 408: Who is the Mastermind?
Mengyu just hoped that she could get along well with her mother-in-law in the future.
If they really couldn’t get along, it was also fine, as a Mortal only lives for a few decades, she could simply avoid her mother-in-law.
Gu Dongxing noticed that Mengyu seemed to be listening, and then he asked, "What was it that you hesitated to tell me just now?"
He was planning to fully involve himself in Mengyu’s life.
Mengyu thought for a moment, and felt that since she had already acknowledged him, there was no need to keep hiding things from him. Trust was needed between couples, so she detailed her meeting with Leng Xiangyu and the whole process.
In fact, Gu Dongxing had guessed some of it when he heard that Mengyu was blood-related to Cheng Jiuhe. Now that Mengyu had revealed the truth, he let out a sigh of relief: as expected, Cheng Jiuhe was Xiao Meng’s cousin.
To Gu Dongxing, the thought of the person he treasured most recognizing another man as her sworn brother always felt somewhat unacceptable, even though that sworn brother was also his good friend.
But now, knowing that the other party was his fiancée’s cousin, and considering the sworn sibling relationship didn’t really mean anything, that little irritation faded away.
Mengyu had no idea that Gu Dongxing was still bothered by the sworn brother she had acknowledged.
She was asking Gu Dongxing, "What do you think? This person who stirs up trouble behind the scenes, for what benefit did they swap my identity with Nan Mingzhu’s?"
Gu Dongxing comforted her instead: "Since your aunt said she will investigate, let her handle it. You should just focus on studying, cultivating, and improving yourself."
Mengyu shook her head: "But those human traffickers—"
She suddenly remembered meeting a human trafficker in a courtyard on the west side of the county town with Jiang Huaiyu and wanted to tell Gu Dongxing, but in this life, she hadn’t met that person, so what could she say?
Her rebirth and the space were her greatest secrets. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Gu Dongxing now, but she felt that these events were too bizarre and telling someone might be harmful to herself.
Moreover, sharing secrets with someone on the surface shows trust, but in reality, it burdens that person with the responsibility of keeping the secret.
Therefore, for the matters of her rebirth and the space, she would try to avoid mentioning them as much as possible.
Seeing her in a daze, Gu Dongxing stole a kiss from her and asked, "What are you thinking about now?"
Mengyu, apparently not noticing she had been kissed, said, "There’s something else—" She told him about how she sent someone to monitor Jiang Huaiyu and discovered that Jiang Huaiyu met with a man in a little courtyard in the western part of the city.
"The man who met with Jiang Huaiyu, his voice sounded familiar. It was when I was sold by the Jiang family and transported in a sealed truck to the mountains, I heard him talking to Lao Liu, he called him Lao San."
Gu Dongxing’s expression immediately darkened.
Mengyu was almost sold by the Jiang Family’s parents. No, she was actually sold, but she managed to escape by jumping off a cliff. He was aware of that.
Those human traffickers were the ones he led a team to capture. Lao Liu was a minor leader within the Human Trafficking Group.
The leaders of that Human Trafficking Group numbered six, ranked from Boss to Lao Liu.
That is to say, the Lao Liu they captured was just the least significant leader in the Human Trafficking Group. The other five leaders were still at large.
He didn’t expect that Lao San from the Human Trafficking Group would dare to show his face.
What was even more unexpected was that the Jiang family was still in contact with the Human Trafficking Group.
Mengyu was also thinking, could the one who helped the Jiang family escape legal punishment be someone from the Human Trafficking Group? In other words, the mastermind behind her tragedy in the past life, who was still trying to ruin her in this life, was it a Human Trafficking Group?
