Cheng Lingdang and her mother held their breath together, waiting for him to reveal the name of the person behind the scenes.
The man wasn't foolish, and of course, he wouldn't reveal his employer's name.
He simply said, "If you must blame someone, it's only because you've obstructed someone with intent, the rest... I'm afraid I can't disclose!"
"My daughter isn't someone driven by self-interest; how could she possibly have blocked anyone's path? This... could this be a misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding?" The man sneered, "If it were a misunderstanding, would I still be standing here?"
Upon hearing this, any last shred of hope in Cheng Lingdang's mother's heart vanished.
She claimed she was pregnant, but it was just a ruse she was playing with Cheng Lingdang.
They were trying to buy time, waiting for someone to come to their rescue.
As for who the real mastermind was, it actually didn't matter at all.
Or rather...
Cheng Lingdang had a definite suspect in mind.
