Chapter 1842: Only Able to Sit and Wait for News

Ling Yu could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

Jiang Motian, however, said, "That loophole is you!"

"Impossible, I only said a few words! And not a single one had anything to do with Li Shu!"

Ling Yu retorted loudly.

Yet his retort made Jiang Motian realize that she and Ling Yu were not talking about the same thing...

Jiang Motian's heart was already as tangled as a ball of hemp.

The secret she had suddenly discovered made her mind go completely blank.

But after the panic reached its peak, Jiang Motian quickly calmed down.

She lowered her eyes slightly and analyzed calmly, "You suddenly showed up at my door to provide cover for Wanyi, and whatever Wanyi is carefully plotting must have to do with Li Shu."

This deduction had no basis.

Yet it unexpectedly hit the mark completely!

Ling Yu had an expression of surprise on his face and muttered, "You really have started reading military strategy books!"

"So, what exactly is Li Shu trying to do?"

This time, Ling Yu kept his lips tightly sealed; one look and it was clear he did not intend to speak.

Seeing this, Jiang Motian sneered and retorted, "It's already come to this, what is the point of you still hiding it?"

"Because I cannot continue to provoke you and make you go find Wanyi!"

The moment she heard this, Jiang Motian suddenly understood one thing:

All that talk about road construction in front of the Art Studio, all that talk about postcards.

It turned out that keeping an eye on her and not letting her leave home was the ultimate goal!

Understanding this, Jiang Motian's heart beat very fast.

But the expression on her face did not change much.

She even assured Ling Yu, "I know to prioritize the big picture; I won't run around."

Ling Yu did not believe her and gave an example, "Then you were just insisting on finding Wanyi a moment ago."

"That was to trick the truth out of you! Since none of you are willing to tell the truth, I had no choice!"

Jiang Motian leaned forward slightly and asked again, "So, what exactly is Li Shu trying to do?"

Ling Yu did not speak immediately, but instead locked eyes with Jiang Motian.

He was trying to discover some hidden agenda in Jiang Motian's eyes.

But Jiang Motian's gaze was very firm.

It was also completely open and honest.

However...

This did not dispel Ling Yu's suspicions.

Jiang Motian, however, lost her patience.

Seeing that Ling Yu was still hesitating, she simply threatened him, "If you don't tell me honestly, I will use my own methods to forcefully join your plan!"

"Don't you dare, it will cause Wanyi's plan to fall short of success!"

"Then tell the truth! What direction things go from here depends on you!"

Jiang Motian placed the power of choice in Ling Yu's hands.

Ling Yu felt immense pressure.

After hesitating for a while, he finally compromised, "Li Shu wants Wanyi to kidnap you, but Wanyi naturally disagrees, so he created a diversion."

A diversion?

I'm afraid it's just using a body double.

Jiang Motian thought for a moment and summarized, "You disguise yourself as Wanyi, come to the Li Family, pick up a fake me, and follow the real Wanyi to go see Li Shu?"

"Yes, that's exactly it."

"In that case, my brother is also involved in your plan, otherwise how could the fake 'Jiang Motian' leave the Li Family?"

Jiang Motian's deductive ability today was truly perfect.

But this version of her made Ling Yu feel that something was very wrong.

It was a bit scary!

The next second, Ling Yu stole a glance at Jiang Motian.

He discovered that Jiang Motian... was actually smiling!

How could she be crying one moment and smiling the next!?

It felt even scarier!!

Ling Yu subconsciously scooted to the side.

Actually, this time, one couldn't blame Jiang Motian for being angry.

Xie Wanyi's plan required the cooperation of many people.

As the one being kidnapped, and also Xie Wanyi's girlfriend, Jiang Motian was completely in the dark about the whole plan...

She was so angry she could explode!

Thinking back to the promise Xie Wanyi made not long ago...

Jiang Motian gritted her teeth and said, "That bastard Xie Wanyi, he just said he would share joys and sorrows with me!"

"This... don't blame Wanyi either; there are some things he must face himself."

"But at the very least, he should have disclosed a little to me, instead of letting me sit there like an outsider, staring blankly!"

"If I told you in advance, wouldn't you still be sitting here waiting for the result? It's of no use to the plan; waiting is the greatest help."

Ling Yu said this and sat down in a very leisurely manner.

Then he crossed his arms and said, "I once went through life and death with Wanyi, but because I was injured, wasn't I also forced to wait here for news?"

Jiang Motian could not let go of her worries so quickly.

She tensed her expression and asked, "Wanyi, will there be danger?"

"There will certainly be danger, but we will minimize it."

This answer was not what Jiang Motian wanted to hear.

She hoped that Xie Wanyi's plan would be foolproof.

But she knew just by thinking about it that the difficulty involved...

At this moment, Jiang Motian could not change the answer.

She could only ask for more details: "How do you plan to deal with Li Shu?"

"We have set a trap, attacking from the front and back, and are preparing to restrain him first."

Ling Yu finished explaining their plan with just a few words.

Yet Jiang Motian was terrified upon hearing it!

She gripped her own arm and muttered, "Li Shu is cunning; how could the plan succeed so easily?"

"He is cunning, but we aren't pushovers either! Wanyi has spent no small amount of effort planning for this day!"

"Then all I can do is wait in this room for the final result?"

"Yes."

This reply made Jiang Motian sit on the sofa, looking dejected and soul-lost.

Her hands and feet were ice-cold.

Her heart was filled with panic and unease.

Ling Yu also knew that the process of waiting was agonizing, so he offered an idea: "Why don't you draw something? It could at least help pass the time."

"Draw what? Right now, I just want to tear up all the drawing paper!"

"Then tear it up; perhaps you'll complete an ultra-modern work of art."

"Ultra-modern? I'm afraid it would be a world-ending work!"

Ling Yu was amused and even said, "You are quite humorous."

This was not humor; it was clearly a true reflection of Jiang Motian's inner state!

If something were to really happen to Xie Wanyi...

Jiang Motian did not even know what she might do!

After less than ten minutes of silence, Jiang Motian spoke again: "Can't anyone send back some real-time news?"

"I also want to know the latest news, but this mission is extraordinary; those following Wanyi likely don't have the energy to send updates."

Just as Ling Yu's voice fell, his phone rang.

That abrupt sound made both of their hearts jump violently.

The number was Xie Wanyi's.

But when Ling Yu answered, he heard a woman's voice: "The plan succeeded! Li Shu is trapped at the target location where the bombs were planted and cannot get out!"

The person speaking at this moment was Jiang Motian's body double.

Logically speaking, this was good news.

But the body double's voice was trembling.

And...

Ling Yu's expression turned cold, and he demanded, "Where is Wanyi? Why isn't he the one contacting me?"

"He... he suffered a very serious injury and lost so much blood!"

What!?

Ling Yu gripped his phone tightly, his tone becoming impatient: "What about the others? Hurry and find a way to send him to the Hospital!"

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen, her heart sinking to the bottom of a valley.
