Chapter 136 Betrayal
Chapter 136 Betrayal
"What? Missing a piece?"
Lin Jie was shocked when she heard this,
"Chen Xiao, do you want me to call the security guard to help and dig in the ground again?"
Chen Xiao shook his head: "No, they won't be able to dig any more, because that bone was obviously picked out deliberately, so it won't be buried with other bones."
"Then what should we do? Isn't the infant demon going to become a flying demon?"
Lin Jie said worriedly.
Chen Xiao shook his head again: "No, because I have already found that bone."
Hearing what Chen Xiao said, Lin Jie rolled her eyes: "I said Chen Xiao, can you stop scaring Sister Lin? Where is the bone?"
Before she finished speaking, Chen Xiao said something that made her even more afraid.
"That bone is on your body!"
Lin Jie was so frightened that she screamed and started jumping around.
"Where is it? Where is it?"
She thought that the bone was accidentally hanging on her clothes, and it would fall off after a few jumps!
Chen Xiao said helplessly: "Sister Lin, calm down first, that bone is here with you..."
While speaking, Chen Xiao pointed to Lin Jie's chest.
Lin Jie was taken aback for a moment, then followed Chen Xiao's eyes and reached out to feel inside.
This is Chen Xiao. If it were someone else, Lin Jie would definitely treat him as a hooligan.
After touching it, Lin Jie's complexion suddenly changed.
"You said, wouldn't it be this?"
Lin Jie fumbled and took out a white amulet from her chest.
Chen Xiao nodded: "That's right, this one."
Lin Jie immediately retorted: "No, Chen Xiao, you must have misjudged this time, this amulet is made of ivory, not human bones..."
Even though she said that, Lin Jie felt that her words were inexplicably lacking confidence.
Chen Xiao sneered and asked, "Did you ask for this amulet yourself? Even if you asked for it yourself? Are you sure it must be made of ivory?"
Lin Jie muttered, "I didn't go in person, but my assistant went to Southeast Asia to ask for it for me. She won't lie to me!"
Chen Xiao said aggressively again: "How can you be sure that your assistant won't lie to you?"
Lin Jie explained: "She is a girl brought out by me. She is very smart and motivated. I trust her..."
Chen Xiao directly interrupted her: "Nothing you said can prove that she won't betray you."
For a moment, Lin Jie felt as if struck by lightning.
But she was still unwilling to accept: "But, but..."
In the end, she managed to find an excuse: "Maybe she doesn't know? Maybe she is also being used?"
Chen Xiao shrugged: "Maybe...but the best way to know the answer is to ask her to confront her face to face, what do you think?"
Lin Jie pursed her lips, and finally said with determination, "Okay, I'll find her right away!"
When the phone was connected, Lin Jie spoke first.
"Xiao Ru, where are you?"
"Boss Lin, I'm working overtime."
"I'm in Tianhai Yipin. I have something to ask you. Come here."
"..."
Xiaoru didn't speak for a long time.
Lin Jie raised her tone, and asked again: "Xiao Ru, what's the matter with you? I have something urgent to ask you, so you should come here immediately!"
Xiao Ru stammered and said, "Well, Mr. Lin... I, I feel a little uncomfortable. What's the matter, can we talk about it tomorrow?"
Lin Jie sighed, and lied: "Forget it, Xiaoru, don't lie to me, I know everything."
There was a long silence and heavy breathing from the opposite side.
At this moment, Lin Jie felt her heart was clenched into a ball.
Finally, Xiao Ru spoke.
And her tone changed from cautious to arrogant and indifferent.
"Oh, so you know, so what if you know?"
"Lin Jie, that's right, I did it, I did all of it! I sent people to bury the items in Tianhai Yipin, but you deserve it!"
Hearing these words, Lin Jie almost couldn't stand up: "Why did you do this?"
Xiao Ru said coldly: "Why? Do you still have the face to ask me why? I still want to ask you why?"
"Why did Richard go into the mountains with you, and I can no longer contact him. What did you do to him?"
Lin Jie felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "What's the relationship between you and Richard?"
Xiao Ru sneered: "Oh, you still don't know about my relationship with Richard? Don't you know everything about it?"
"Let me tell you, the two of us were together before you knew him!"
"You are really shameless. You are so old, you still think about Xiao Xianrou every day, and you don't look at your own virtues. Are you worthy of him?"
Lin Jie's face turned green, and she shouted: "Enough, stop talking!"
"No, I'm going to say it!"
Xiaoru said rebelliously,
"I'll tell you everything today, Richard asked me to give you the amulet of human bones, and he also asked me to bury the contents of Tianhai Yipin!"
"The matter has come to this, and I'm not afraid to tell you that it only needs to be delayed for another half a month, and he can put you to death. At that time, all your property will be ours... It's a pity that the success fell short!"
Lin Jie didn't want to hear any more, she originally treated Xiaoru as her daughter.
To be honest, Xiaoru's betrayal hurt her more than Richard's betrayal.
She asked puzzledly: "Why did you do this? Xiao Ru, before I brought you out, you couldn't even eat!"
Xiao Ru snorted coldly: "If you want to blame, you can blame yourself. You let me see a world that I shouldn't have seen, and I am no longer willing to be mediocre. What you can get, why can't I?"
A lack of human heart is like a snake swallowing an elephant.
This sentence is the truest portrayal of Xiaoru.
Lin Jie silently turned off the phone, and sat down on the sofa dejectedly.
Li Ziqing heard everything on the phone.
She walked over and hugged Lin Jie silently.
In the past two days, Lin Jie has experienced too much.
Even if she has iron-clad nerves, she might not be able to accept the subsequent blows.
Chen Xiao also looked helpless.
But this is probably a causal loop.
Shi Ling gave Lin Jie too much, but it is reasonable for Lin Jide to be coveted and jealous by the people around him because he is not worthy.
This calamity was predestined by her fate, and she couldn't escape it.
"Sister Lin, give me the last bone, lest you have long nights and dreams."
Chen Xiao also sympathized with Lin Jie, but he had to continue with the business.
Lin Jie tore off the bone hanging from her neck and handed it to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao just took the bone, before he put it on the corpse.
However, at this moment, the mutation reappeared.
I saw that black baby spirit suddenly moved...
