Chapter 1904: Be Honest

"Haha, Mr. Chen, you come from Huaxia, you are the most powerful Huaxia Dharma Cultivator." Jinsang laughed heartily: "When choosing an ally, you don't need to look at the other party's strength, but rather at whether you find them agreeable."

"Because no matter how strong or weak your ally is, you are confident in winning every battle."

"Thanks for the compliment, but there is one point you got wrong; I don't fight battles I'm not confident in." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I should head back, otherwise Ximeng will start to get suspicious."

"Very well, Mr. Chen, I will contact you if there is any news," Jinsang said with a nod.

When Chen Yu returned, his living quarters remained as they were; Chen Yu glanced at Moli's room, then returned to his own room without changing his expression.

He knew clearly that this woman must be fully aware of his going out to meet Jinsang.

"Come out. I know you have been keeping an eye on my movements; there is no point in hiding like this anymore," Chen Yu said indifferently.

After a long while, the door finally opened, and Moli walked out from inside, hesitating.

After she walked out, she gave a slight bow to Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen, you have returned."

"Yes, I'm back," Chen Yu laughed: "You have been keeping track of my movements, haven't you?"

"No..." Moli was slightly stunned and hurriedly denied it.

"Don't play innocent in front of me; I can see through your thoughts at a glance." Chen Yu gave a faint smile: "Tell the truth, who did you reveal my whereabouts to?"

"I did not reveal Mr. Chen's whereabouts to anyone." Moli gritted her teeth, still refusing to tell the truth.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu stared at her.

"Mr. Chen, I really don't know what you are talking about." Moli shook her head.

"Very well, you may go." Chen Yu waved his hand.

"If there is nothing else, I will go and rest first; if Mr. Chen needs anything, just call me," Moli said softly.

"No need." Chen Yu shook his head: "Tomorrow I will tell Qiongsi to replace you; I will tell him I don't need any housekeeper."

"Why?" Moli was startled, and she jerked her head up.

"Because I don't like dishonest people," Chen Yu said: "You should know what kind of person I am; I can see through exactly what you are thinking at a glance. Since you are unwilling to tell me what you are doing, I have no choice but to let you go."

"I..." Moli's expression was hesitant.

"You were hired by Qiongsi; even if you are loyal, it should be to him, not behind his back, telling others about my whereabouts," Chen Yu said, staring at Moli.

"You... know everything?" Moli was shocked; even if she was smart, she was still just a student, and her social experience was severely lacking.

Therefore, when Chen Yu casually bluffed her, she revealed her flaws.

"Of course I know. I told you before that the internal problems of the Shilaike Family are very serious; if I were you, I certainly wouldn't get involved in this," Chen Yu frowned.

"I had no choice either." Moli bit her lip: "Ever since I entered the Shilaike Family, I have no longer been a free person."

"So this is your reason for betraying Qiongsi? Did you keep an eye on me and then report my whereabouts to Ximeng?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes." Moli lowered her head, then immediately looked up with a pleading expression: "I really had no choice, Mr. Chen, please give me a chance?"

"How can I give you a chance? To let you stay by my side and continue leaking my whereabouts to Ximeng?" Chen Yu said coldly.

"I won't do that; I will find a way to give her some fake information," Moli shook her head.

"Do you really think that a woman from the Roy Family is so easy to fool?" Chen Yu shook his head: "Every move you make is controlled by them; I'm afraid you don't even know it yourself, do you?"

"But what should I do?" Moli couldn't help but cry out: "I originally only applied for the position of a housekeeper; I never thought I would get involved in the power struggle of the Shilaike Family."

"Even if I wanted to quit now, it's impossible; Ximeng won't let me go because I know too much."

"Sometimes, being a bit dull is actually a benefit," Chen Yu sighed slightly.

"Mr. Chen." Moli fell to her knees on the floor with a thud: "I cannot lose this job. My father's health is poor after he went bankrupt, and my younger brother has picked up bad habits; my whole family relies on me to earn money."

"You actually still think that if things are exposed, you will only lose a job?" Chen Yu felt it was somewhat unbelievable: "Are you alright?"

This woman must be crazy; the struggle of the Shilaike Family is life-threatening, and if things go wrong, many people will die.

By standing on Ximeng's side now, she has chosen a side; does she really think that being discovered by Qiongsi is just a matter of losing a job and not being able to earn money?

Not to mention how Qiongsi would treat her, Ximeng herself would not let her go because she leaked her whereabouts.

"Otherwise... what else could happen?" Moli looked up, stunned.

She had never experienced the struggles between great families, and she would never know what kind of disaster her actions would bring upon her.

She only felt that even if she leaked information, it was nothing more than losing a job, yet she did not want to lose this job.

Moreover, she chose Ximeng because she could receive an extra salary; she had never considered what the consequences would actually be.

"People will die... many people will die." Chen Yu was truly speechless: "I really thought you understood everything, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant."

"Will people... die?" Moli's face turned slightly pale, and she began to lose her composure: "Is what you are saying true?"

"Do you think I would lie to you? Is it fun?" Chen Yu shook his head and said: "Moli, you don't know what the head of the Shilaike Family signifies."

"You know even less about how deep the foundations of the Roy Family run. In Yizhou, or even in the whole world, as long as they want to kill someone, it is as simple as crushing an ant."

"You shouldn't have come here to work at all, and you shouldn't have been greedy; betrayal is a very terrifying thing here."

"Then what should I do? I really didn't know it would be this serious." Moli panicked, and her tears could not help but fall: "I beg you... help me."

"Help you? How can I help you?" Chen Yu shook his head slightly: "Your actions have offended more than just one person."

"Then what should I do? I can't have anything happen to me; my family relies entirely on me alone right now, and I haven't even finished my studies yet." Moli cried: "Just now, I did reveal your whereabouts to Ximeng."

"But I only knew you went out once; I didn't know what you did. I won't do it again in the future; I beg you to pretend this never happened, okay?"
