Tang Xi looked at Yang Jingxian and smiled, replying, Perhaps.

Family ties were very important to her. If she had to choose one between her grandpa and Qiao Liang, she would definitely choose the former without hesitation because since her childhood, her grandpa had been the one who treated her best. Now, though, if she had to choose between the Xiao Family, the Tang Family and Qiao Liang, she would definitely refuse to make the choice because she loved them all.

Having died once, she didnt want to give up anyone or anything that was important to her.

Xiao Jing brought Lin Jiao to a warehouse in the suburb where Xiaos Group used to store goods. This one was abandoned after they found another warehouse in the downtown area. Xiao Hongyi had wanted to sell it, but as Xiao Hongli said that the land might rise in price in the future, it was left vacant.

Seeing the desolate warehouse, Lin Jiao looked around and a twinge of panic flashed through her eyes. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa didnt let the bodyguards seal her mouth, but as her face and mouth were so swollen that she couldnt speak, she could hardly be heard by others. She stammered, Where are you taking me to?

Two of the bodyguards guarding her were sleeping, while one was driving. No one answered her. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were dozing in the car behind.

When they arrived at the abandoned warehouse, Lin Jiao looked at the door of the warehouse and panicked. She looked back at Xiao Jing and the others, asking, Why did you take me here?

Make you confess by torturing you, of course, Xiao Jing answered coldly. What else do you think were going to do?

Lin Jiao glared and jerked back. Ignoring the pain in her face, she screamed, Dont you know this is illegal?

Of course we know, but the police wont know about it, okay? Xiao Jing replied in a cold voice as he shot an impatient look at Lin Jiao. Besides, you broke the law ahead of us. You arent afraid. Why should we fear?

Lin Jiao stared at them in a fluster and retreated step by step. Suddenly, her feet caught on the grass and almost fell. Xiao Jing didnt want to talk to her, so he asked his men to take her into the warehouse, following which he and Xiao Sa walked to the side and called Tang Xi to tell her where they were.

By the time Tang Xi and Yang Jingxian arrived, an hour had already passed. Being hungry and afraid, Lin Jiao was at the most vulnerable moment of her life. When she saw two women looking down at her, she paused and looked at Tang Xi with doubt, asking, Are you Xiao Rou?

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows as she went to Lin Jiao and looked at Lin Jiaos red, swollen cheek. She said, I came to ask you two questions. If your answers satisfy me, Ill let you go. If Im not satisfied, then youll be kept here forever.

Hearing Tang Xis aggressive opening remark, Yang Jingxian looked a bit surprised. Lin Jiao tried to get up, but she was tied up and unable to move at all. She asked, What have you done to Jinning? And to my mother?

When Tang Xi heard her two consecutive questions, a cold gleam flashed across her eyes. She squatted down in front of Lin Jiao with a faint smile, looked into Lin Rus eyes and said softly, I brought you here not to answer your question, but to make you answer mine. Dont you understand me?

Lin Jiao looked at Tang Xi in disbelief and narrowed her eyes. Do you think Ill answer you just because you kidnapped me here? You wanna know the answers? But Im not going to tell you! Beg me!

Tang Xi hung her head. Suddenly, a wicked smile appeared on her face and she gently patted Lin Jiaos face, murmuring quietly, Do you think I cant find out the truth myself? You know what? What I hate most is an uncooperative attitude, and Im angry being threatened by you. Then she gave a domineering smile and continued coldly, And do you know whatll happen when I get angry? Ill take my guess as the truth and even if its not true, Ill make it true and torture those I want to deal with.

Seeing Lin Jiaos face gradually turn pale, Tang Xi gave a smile as she retracted her hand and turned around to ask Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa to take Yang Jingxian out. After they did as she asked, she said coldly, You know I have the ability. Its easy for Xiaos Group to make a false paternity test report. If Xiao Jinning turns out to be a child born by a poor countryside couple, some of her fans may sympathize with her, but if her mother happens to be a slut who has tons of men and doesnt even know who her father is, will the fans sympathize with or even like her? Im afraid thatll be a little difficult!

When Lin Jiao heard Tang Xis words, her face suddenly turned black. She glared up at Tang Xi and growled angrily, Dont you dare!

Tang Xi smiled. Well see. With that, her face instantly turned cold. You swapped your daughter and me, and threw me to that poor village. Why cant I turn your daughter into a rat crossing the street? Oh, yes, Im going to make what you did public to the world. Then even when youre just walking in the street, people will toss rotten eggs at you!

Tang Xi paused and then said, Of course, if you tell me everything youve done, I might forgive you. Think it over before you speak.

Will you let us go if I confess? Lin Jiao asked, looking at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. That depends on my mood.

Lin Jiao was speechless. After quite a while, she nodded. Im sorry, I shouldnt have done that. I was pregnant, but I didnt know who my babys father was. I wanted to abort the baby, but your grandmother asked me to keep her. She said your mother was pregnant too, and we could ask your mom to raise my baby. I thought it was a good idea. My daughter deserved a good life too, so I hid. When your mother gave birth to you in City W, I rushed to City W that very night to give birth to Jinning by a cesarean delivery. Your grandmother is your moms mother, so she easily took you out. As you were newborns, no one could recognize you. As long as we replaced your identification tags, you and Jinning could be swapped.

Lin Jiao looked at Tang Xi and said excitedly, I wanted to raise you myself, but I had no ability! So I could only send you away.
