Chapter 848 -848: This Child is My Bargaining Chip
“Mom, don’t try to persuade me anymore, I will find a way to get back to Fourth Brother. The child in my womb is my bargaining chip, Su Hongxing will never outplay me!” Cao Shiyu said with a cold smile curling her lips.
At that moment, Guan Ya’s cellphone rang, a call from an unknown number.
Cao Shiyu leaned over and saw, it was Liu Yuan’s phone number.
At a glance, she knew that Liu Yuan was looking for her.
She snatched Guan Ya’s phone, pressed the answer button, and Liu Yuan’s weak voice came through, “As I expected, you indeed went to find your mother. Cao Shiyu, you useless trash, you almost got me killed. Not long after I spoke with you, Ye Qilan’s men came looking for me, I’ve been shot, and only a stroke of great fortune kept me from dying…” 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Because he was too agitated and spoke too hastily, Liu Yuan coughed several times before catching his breath.
Cao Shiyu, this incompetent fool who only spoils things, specifically ruining his plans.
“You, you must be mistaken?” Cao Shiyu’s face paled, her legs going weak.
“If I’m not wrong, your phone has been bugged. Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing set a trap for you, they probably knew your true identity long ago, and you’ve been played for a fool without even realizing it, idiot!”
Without waiting for Cao Shiyu to respond, Liu Yuan hung up the phone.
Cao Shiyu’s face was pale as snow.
Did Liu Yuan just say that her phone had a listening device, and Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan had already seen through her disguise?
“Mom, take my phone and have someone check if it’s been bugged.” Cao Shiyu’s body swayed.
If what Liu Yuan said was true, and Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing knew she was Cao Shiyu, then they must have been using her to catch Liu Yuan and find out Liu Qingyin’s whereabouts, right?
Now that she no longer had any value to them, was Ye Qilan going to come after her next?
Thinking of this possibility, Cao Shiyu nearly fainted.
If this was the case, she had to save herself, and the only person who could save her was Cao Zhen.
Upon hearing that Cao Shiyu’s phone had been bugged, Guan Ya also looked rather ugly. If that was true, then Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing must know about her continuous contact with Cao Shiyu, right?
Initially, she was the one who had collected the “corpse” for Cao Shiyu, she didn’t let Cao Zhen inspect the “corpse” of Cao Shiyu thoroughly, Cao Zhen truly believed Cao Shiyu was dead.
If Cao Zhen found out she had been deceiving him with Cao Shiyu, he would likely be extremely disappointed in her.
That night, neither Guan Ya nor Cao Shiyu slept well.
The next day, when Cao Shiyu’s cell phone was checked, it turned out indeed to have a listening device installed.
Upon learning the results and recalling Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan’s reactions during this period, Cao Shiyu sensed something was amiss.
When Su Hongxing suddenly let bygones be bygones and allowed her to move into Qingmu Garden, she had already started to suspect her.
She thought her acting was decent, but never expected that Su Hongxing’s acting was even better, feigning so convincingly and playing her like a fiddle.
“Mom, I’m done for, you must save me. Ye Qilan knows I’m not dead and that I’m Cao Shiyu, but he didn’t expose me, he just wanted to use me to catch Liu Yuan. Now that I’m of no use to him, he won’t let me off,” Cao Shiyu paced back and forth in distress.
Guan Ya frowned slightly, she was well aware of the grim situation Cao Shiyu was in.
She had only this cherished daughter. Over these many years, since Cao Zhen’s heart wasn’t with her, she devoted all her efforts to nurturing her daughter, indulging her in every way, which had now led to a disaster.
