"What is it?" Dong Ru zhu asked urgently.
"He said... he also said..."
"What else did he say?"
"He said everything he should and shouldn't have said."
Dong Ru zhu's face turned pale. "How can you believe the words of a kidnapper? Xingkong, don't be fooled by Snooker. He's not the one I sent."
Xingkong sneered. "Since he's not sent by my mom, how do you know the kidnapper's name is Snooker?"
"..." Damn it, she fell for it.
Looking at the cunning fox-like Xingkong, Dong Ru zhu finally realized that she had underestimated her all these years.
"You just said it yourself."
"Did I?"
"You did!" Shen Xinai immediately echoed, "You said it yourself, I heard it just now."
"Oh?" Xingkong wasn't angry, she just smiled faintly and looked at Huo Siye, "Fourth Lord, did I mention the name Snooker just now?"
Huo Siye played with the white jade teacup, and the faint white mist surrounded his handsome features, making it difficult to see his face clearly, but his invisible aura emanating from within him was intimidating.
He calmly placed the teacup on the low table in front of him and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
"No." Two clear and low words sounded like thunder.
It took the crowd a while to react that he was answering Shen Xingkong's question.
He didn't hear Shen Xingkong mention the name Snooker just now!
Dong Ru zhu felt a pain in her face, but she couldn't rub it because that would be like pressing her face onto the ground for Shen Xingkong to rub against. "Fourth Master said he didn't hear anything," Shen Xinkong shrugged.
"How is that possible?!" Shen Xinai roared in disbelief.
"So, are you saying that Fourth Master can't hear or that he's lying? I think he might not have understood what you meant. Shall I go explain it to him?" Shen Xinkong smirked.
Shen Xinai's face turned red like a pig's liver. "Fine," Huo Siye spoke up.
Shen Xinkong became even more pleased. Shen Xinai was speechless.
"Grandpa, you understand now, right? My kidnapping was all planned by Mom!" Shen Xingkong said.
The old man glared at Dong Ru zhu in anger. "You've disappointed me too much!"
"Dad! I didn't do it," Dong Ru zhu protested.
"Then how did you know the kidnapper's name was Snooker?" the old man asked.
"I...I guessed," Dong Ru zhu replied.
"You're quite good at guessing!" the old man snorted.
"I'm telling the truth. I saw the news before that Snooker came to Yundu, so I thought...I thought he was a repeat offender and would definitely target someone. It just so happened that Xingkong was kidnapped, so that's why I guessed like that," Dong Ru zhu explained.
"A repeat offender? It seems that Mom, you know Snooker very well," Shen Xingkong said, glancing at Snooker who was brought in by Bai Ning and standing behind Huo Siye with a baseball cap.
Snooker was also interested in watching this scene. He wanted to see what tricks this cunning little fox could come up with.
Dong Ru zhu had been secretly in contact with Snooker, so she didn't recognize him.
"No, no, I just learned about it from the news. I heard he's a heartless demon who has killed many innocent people. He's simply a beast!"
"A beast?" Snooker raised an eyebrow. That's not what she said when she gave him the money.
"I heard he likes to directly extract people's organs, and his methods are very cruel. He's a complete pervert, and his crimes are too numerous to list. He should be executed, and if I knew his whereabouts, I would definitely report it to the police. How could I possibly contact him to kidnap you? I... I don't even have his contact information." Dong Ru zhu struggled to defend herself.
She didn't notice the man standing behind Huo Siye with an interesting expression on his face.
"Pervert? Report to the police immediately? Is that really what you think, Mom?" Shen Xingkong asked with a cold smile.
Dong Ru zhu's wrist hurt badly, and she nodded quickly. "Yes, yes."
"Did you hear that? Your employer doesn't seem to respect you very much, Mr. Snooker," Shen Xingkong said, throwing Dong Ru zhu's wrist away and suddenly laughing coldly.
Snooker?
Dong Ru zhu was taken aback and looked in the direction of Shen Xingkong.
The man was dressed in black with a black duckbill cap, giving off a bloody feeling.
Snooker took off his cap and gave Dong Ru zhu a sinister smile. "Mrs. Shen, you didn't say that when you gave me the money."
"You... you... who are you..."
Snooker twisted his neck and didn't answer Dong Ru zhu's question. Instead, he took out his phone and played a recording.
"I never want to see Shen Xingkong in front of me again!"
"I don't care how you deal with her, I just don't want to see her again."
"Three million now, and I'll give you another two million after it's done."
"No, no, no, that's not my voice! It's fabricated!" Upon hearing the recording, Dong Ru zhu finally couldn't hold it together and panicked completely.
She never thought that Snooker would actually record it.
For Snooker's simple and crude slap in the face of Dong Ru zhu, Xingkong was very satisfied.
If he wasn't a pervert, she would be happy to be friends with him.
"Mrs. Shen, what I hate the most is burning bridges after crossing them."
Dong Ru zhu, "..." At this point, she had a stomach full of excuses to make, but she couldn't say a word.
"Who are you, and why did you impersonate Snooker to frame my mother?" Shen Xinai was also panicked, but she couldn't let Shen Xingkong design her like this.
"Whether it's fake or not, you can try it." Xingkong sneered.
"How, how do I try?" Shen Xinai's brain went blank, and she blurted out the question.
Xingkong's eyelids twitched, she looked up and down at Shen Xinai, and then pointed to Snooker. "His specialty is live organ harvesting. You've always had a bad conscience, let him dig it out and take a look."
Shen Xinai shuddered. "..."
"It's you who has a bad conscience! Your conscience has been eaten by dogs. The Shen family has been so good to you, and you actually found someone to frame your mother!" The old lady was also frightened by Snooker's dark aura, but she just couldn't stand Shen Xingkong's smugness. She wished it was her heart being dug out instead.
The old lady's favoritism no longer affected Xingkong's mood. She now only wanted Dong Ru zhu to pay for her actions.
"Grandpa, what do you think?" Xingkong asked.
What could he think? With the evidence and witnesses, what was there to argue about? He shuddered as he listened to these words. He never expected Dong Ru zhu to be so biased against Xingkong, despite not being her biological granddaughter.
"Grandpa, you have two choices," Xingkong said, feeling a surge of emotions.
In her past life, Grandpa was the only person in the Shen family who truly loved her. She didn't want to make things too difficult for him.
"What are the two choices?"
