In that instant, upon hearing the name, Ji Tingzhou almost wanted to cover the child's ears. Vengeance being yours is one thing, but how did poison-making also become your affair? And... TV dramas are clearly fictional. Deathbed confessions aren't impeded by the dying process; a person can still manage to utter the crucial name in a single second. Ji Tingzhou lowered his eyes to observe her expression. Ji Nian was naturally startled. Although she had previously considered the possibility of Chen Mo's connection to Vengeance, the reality still came as a shock. Not to mention, the facts were even more explosive. The thief who stole her poison to harm others... was Chen Mo? The one who killed Wei Yang in the original book... was he too? Ji Nian couldn’t help but say, "Dad, could it be like what happened with Uncle earlier, someone is trying to deceive us using this?" Ji Tingzhou remained silent. With just this silence, Ji Nian understood that her doubt might not hold water. However, thinking about it, Chen Mo = Vengeance, the logic seemed sound. Given Chen Mo’s deep misunderstanding of Ji Tingzhou, his previous small-scale troubles weren't much, but if he was the one supplying Vengeance with poison formulas, or even more boldly, the one controlling the organization... Then, the things he could do multiplied. This aligned with the concept of 'revenge,' didn't it? And Vengeance itself means just that: revenge. "Ji Nian?" Seeing Ji Nian expressionless and lost in thought, Ji Tingzhou suddenly felt a pang of heartache. The shock of the sudden revelation almost made him overlook why Ji Nian was so certain the poison wasn't invented by the person they had caught. He found himself more inclined to preserve that naive part of Ji Nian. "Dad, I'm fine." "Since he isn't the inventor of the poison, I should attend to other matters." Ji Tingzhou instinctively grabbed her. "What matters?" Ji Nian didn’t resist, simply stating, "The antidote." Hearing this term, Ji Tingzhou raised an eyebrow. "Still making it? Not angry?" After all, Chen Mo had deceived her. "Yes, I am." Ji Nian nodded firmly. "It’s precisely because of this that he should survive; he needs to apologize to Brother Wei Yang." [I'm angry because...] Even though I had guessed this possibility, I subconsciously tried to exonerate Chen Mo. It was really inappropriate. My personality, so easily swayed by charm, really needs to change. Otherwise, I feel like I’m bound to suffer greatly in this regard in the future. Even if Chen Mo was being used, emotionally, thinking about Wei Yang dying in the original book, though Ji Tingzhou never said much, Ji Nian could tell they were very close. She even privately witnessed a warm moment of Wei Yang pulling a tantrum about not wanting to undergo a physical, getting a beating from her dad. If Wei Yang had passed away, how heartbroken would Ji Tingzhou be... Regardless, the matter needs to be cleared up, not concealed. Moreover... Probably only Chen Mo could tell her why her poison appeared in this world. Entering ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‍the laboratory, Ji Nian set aside all distractions, picking up where she left off yesterday, continuing her experiment. ... Chen Mo’s location. Unaware of his exposed identity, Chen Mo, in agony, could barely utter a complete sentence, hunched over, gasping for breath. Number Two knelt beside his bed, wishing to bear his suffering. "Boss, everything’s ready." "As you said, someone has indeed been discreetly inquiring about your condition." "The Ji Family has also sent someone, trying to learn about our movements." Upon hearing the mention of the Ji Family, Chen Mo’s eyelashes fluttered. "Vengeance... after I die, disperse everyone..." "......Ji... Ji Nian..." He spoke intermittently, the name Ji Nian particularly clear. Number Two understood his intent: "Do you want me to... tell her about Vengeance?" Chen Mo nodded faintly. "Tell her... I apologize... I didn’t..." I didn’t intentionally hide it from her. I was just afraid. Afraid of being disliked by Ji Nian. As for the debt to the Ji Family... I’ll repay it with my life. Chen Mo closed his eyes.
