Chapter 10.4 - To Gaze Down with Compassion Like Bodhisattva (4)

Start from the beginning
                                    

She had thought these four were Cheng Muyun's closest friends.

But now, Fu Ming and Cheng Muyun's dialogue told her, one of these four people was a traitor, someone who had betrayed Cheng Muyun.

Cheng Muyun's purpose for this trip was to find that person?<>Copyright of Fanatical, hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com.

Cheng Muyun lifted his gaze to look at Wen Han. His eyes took in the turmoil roiling in Wen Han's eyes.

Perhaps this girl in front of him was feeling that, after learning of some things, she was suddenly seeing the light, but she did not know that that layer of fog that had once protected her had now dissipated.

Fu Ming did it intentionally. He had intentionally let Wen Han hear these things.

It was a form of revenge. Fu Ming, the brat, had always been very vindictive.

A lot of his words had not been necessary to say aloud after Wen Han came upstairs. Hence, with each word he spoke, Cheng Muyun had tried to be brief and direct.

Still, she had heard all the key information.<>Please read this at hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com instead

Cheng Muyun was contemplating over the possibility of whether he could send her away right now. After all, now that she knew all these things, it would be too difficult for her to continue behaving like a blank piece of paper and put on an act with those four people.

But it was obvious the probability of this was zero.<>Copyright of Fanatical, hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com. Translated with the express permission of the author for hui3r[dot]wordpress[dot]com.

Without uttering a word, Cheng Muyun loosened his hold on Fu Ming and, in passing, gave him a kick. "If you have gotten the answer you wanted, then go back like a good boy and keep putting on that act for me. Prove to me you are not the one who betrayed everyone." Although his tone was relaxed, his eyes were cold.

Fu Ming's anger earlier had not been a pretense.

However, Cheng Muyun's manner was also clearly stating that, as of right now, he did not believe anyone.

Fu Ming climbed back to his feet and moved his arm about, completely ignoring the chance that Cheng Muyun was giving him to back down gracefully. "I'm here because I wanted to advise you to think this all through carefully. Zhou Ke's death is Heaven's warning to you. If you are so stubborn, in the end, the four of us may all die here just to fulfill your desire."

Throwing a long, meaningful look at Cheng Muyun, Fu Ming did not speak anymore and strode toward the stairs.

In that instant when he walked by Wen Han, she was struck by the hostile air he was emitting and stepped back half a pace.

She had many questions she wanted to ask, but she did not know how to even open her mouth to ask them or from where to even begin inquiring.

When only she and Cheng Muyun remained in this place, Wen Han finally calmed down slightly. In a small voice, she asked, "Are you okay?"

Straightening back up, Cheng Muyun picked up his shirt and began fastening the buttons one at a time. "What did you understand from what you heard just now?"

Wen Han's heartbeat was a little fast as she quietly replied, "You guys have been apart for ten years. This time when you returned, you had the four of them come here because... you want to catch the mole. One person amongst those four is a traitor."
