Chapter 370 - 368: The Silent Answer

Eunji followed Kelly who ran towards her son and husband.

Yichen was still closing his eyes and crying while being hugged by his dad.

He must be startled by the gunshots.

He earned a cut on his neck probably from the knife earlier and Kelly was putting pressure on it with her handkerchief.

The cut was not deep. But it was bleeding. It'd probably leave a scar later on.

"It's fine now baby. You're safe now." Kelly and Mo Jing-sheng told him in comfort while trying to clean his wound with the first-aid kit that one of the servants gave to them.

Seems like it would take time for the younger Mo to calm down. The couple decided to bring him out of the room and continue treating him there.

Seeing that they could handle Mo Yichen's situation, she decided not to intervene.

On the other hand, she checked on Mia's bloodied body.

She still had a pulse but faint.

Mo Jing-sheng shoot her on fatal areas. She barely survived.

Eunji immediately asked her agents present in the room to bring her out and call for a doctor to treat her.

They won't be bringing her to the hospital for treatment as the doctors might ask them what happened and alarm the cops.

And besides, bringing her to the hospital was risky.

What Eunji needed were any sort of information from her.

Anything information would be needed.

Eunji then asked them to clean up the scene and she went out of the room to follow the people who brought Mia out.

She asked them to bring her in one of the vacant rooms in the house. They had to stabilize her condition before they could bring her to the torture base.

Since calling the doctor would take time, Eunji decided to take out the bullets herself.

She asked them to bring alcohol, a basin, a boiling water to sterilize the blades she'd be using to cut open the wounds.

She also needed a flashlight, a thread and suturing needle.

She had those items on her pouch she left on the hospital.

It's not a long drive.

She could still make it or if she'd ask Eagle to bring it to her. She also needed a bag of IV fluids and blood.

She didn't know what's her bloodtype though and that's a problem she's facing.

However, they found an ID from her belongings with her bloodtype printed on it.

While waiting for Eagle to arrive, she decided to start sterilizing her blades.

After soaking it with the boiling water, she waited to cool them down. She didn't have a latex glove so she had no choice but to do it with the plastic gloves.

Eunji then started to operate her and she asked her two agents as her assistants.

When Eagle and the doctor arrived, she was on the second gunshot wound.

They immediately put the IV on her arms and tranfused blood on her.

After one hour...

She left the room with bloodied hands and sweats on her forehead...

She had also removed the cyanide she was keeping in her mouth to bite on. Typical tactics for spies.

Good thing she was not able to bite it to poison herself.

After the operation, she went upstairs to check on Mo Yichen and Kelly.

With what had happened, he was sure that Mo Yichen would be traumatized and Kelly would be on great stress after this.

Kelly needed her support.

She had to wash her hands many times to make sure that she didn't stink of that woman's blood.

Mia was under observation. She had to be okay so she could be transfered to the torture base later.

The good thing was that the operation was successful.

When she went upstairs she saw Mo Jing-sheng cradling his son who had a tear-stained face.

Kelly on the other hand was leaning her head on his shoulder.

Her arrival got their attention and they turned their attention to her.

"How is she?" Mo Jing-sheng asked. After all, he knew he almost killed her.

They watched Eunji settle down into one of the stool inside their room.

"She's under observation. We will move her later when she stabilized. What about you three? How are you?"

It was Kelly who answered the question first.

"I'm still in shocked. Lil Yichen had just fallen asleep after crying so hard."

"Thank you for today, Sister-in-law. How did you know she's one from the enemies?"

They had been with her but they could not even distinguish based on her behavior.

Eunji then explained to them how she got the idea that she might be a spy.

"She's the first person who greeted me earlier and I had not even seen her before yet she recognized me immediately when I removed the mask."

At first she thought that Kelly must have left a photo of her or that she had briefed her people inside the house to treat her well when she came by to visit.

Or, that since she had stationed her agents in the Mo Residence, they must have told her who she was.

Her first theory was more probable than the latter.

She didn't suspect her. After all, she was very accommodating and welcoming to her.

She got the idea when she asked that cup of hot chocolate.

"Though she had mixed that poison well on the hot chocolate, my nose have been very sensitive when it comes to those chemicals. And the spoon reacted to it, too."

That's when she decided to accidentally spill the chocolate. She didn't dare to leave it there because Mo Yichen was present. She's afraid the kid would drink it instead.

After all, who hated chocolate drinks?

She also noticed that she didn't leave and go back to the kitchen. She was hiding in the corner instead intently looking at her.

Her acting worked really well.

"So that's when I know she was it."

Both Mo Jing-sheng and Kelly were shocked to hear it.

They didn't even realize someone must be slowly poisoning them if that was the case and they'd only realize it when their condition got worse one day.

And that was horrible.

"I think what triggered her to finally reveal herself is because I asked you to summon her. She knew I already got her. I just didn't expect it would escalate this way. I'm sorry."

She was sincerely apologizing to the couple. She was at fault. There were ways that she could handle the situation much better without putting everyone in the house in danger.

Especially Mo Yichen.

"This really gives us a scare! But don't apologize. In fact, you have helped us a lot. We have no idea that an enemy had already infiltrated our house."

Kelly was still shaken with what just happened. It could be felt from the strain in her voice. She's still shaking.

Imagine waking up one day and this would be the scene you would witness even before breakfast.

"I can't blame you though. They're just so good in disguising themselves." What Eunji said was true.

With everything going on around them, it's easy to miss these things. Especially when the other party was so good in disguising.

"It's better to make sure you knew everyone around you so well. Especially now that we have children involved in the picture."

Really, their situation was very complicated. They have to double or triple their efforts even more. For the little ones.

"I think it's them behind this." Eunji didn't decide to hide her theory. After all everyone concerned should know.

"So, what are you going to do now?"

"Alora found out that they're preparing in some sort of engagement party and it's between me and Frederick Heart."

"What?! Are they nuts?!" As usual, Kelly's reaction was predictable.

Well, anyone would react the same way as her.

"No. They're aiming for something and they're targeting me. I'm sure of that."

"That means you're in danger?" Mo Jing-sheng also said his theory.

"They're going to use Ana to replace me. Which means they're going to use Ana to kill me."

"Are you serious?!"

"Do I look like I'm joking?" If Eunji knew how to joke around, it would also mean the world was about to end.

She would never joke around with safety.

"Seriously?" Kelly still couldn't believe it.

"Then, if what you said is going to happen, are you willing to fight against her?"

Eunji was silent and an unexplainable series of emotions flashed in her eyes.

She didn't answer their question but her silence was already her answer.

The couple could only sigh while looking at her.

Their talk was over when one of the servants knocked on their doors telling them that breakfast's ready.

However, no one wanted to eat one.

After what happened?

"This is the second time they got us using our servants, huh."

Eunji's eyebrow raised when she heard that.

Right, the last time, they were almost killed by Young Master Chen and Kelly almost lost Mo Yichen in the process.

It was someone posing as their servant that time made Kelly to get drowsy all the time.

That when their group arrived, she's sleeping on their room upstairs.

"Well then, we should've learned our lessons by now." Kelly said it but Eunji was still in deep thought.

Were these two cases related?

"Eunjiyah? Are you okay?"

Eunji then adjusted herself on the couch before she spoke.

"Nothing. It's just that...what if these two cases were related?"

"What? How?"

"What if they're trying to use your safety as a way to blackmail your father to make him work for them?"

"Oh no!" Being reminded with her father, Kelly was tearing up again.

"Don't worry, I look closely into this."

The day went by so fast and before she knew it, it's almost afternoon.

Mo Yichen woke up from his sleep and asked for food. It was still unknown as to how much trauma he got after what had happened.

Before she left, Eunji decided to do a favor for the couple. However, she knew this won't be enough.

She decided to call the remaining servants one by one and hypnotized them to know their darkest secrets.

That might be invasion of their privacy but she was doing it at a cost.

She had also decided to include her agents who were present in the house.

All in all, she had hypnotized forty people making her eyes to be extremely tired after she was done that it almost turned red.

To console her best friend, Kelly prepared a bowl of ice cream for her.

Eunji was thankful of that. She hadn't eaten an ice cream for a while now.

***

It was already dark when she went back to the hospital.

She was very tired and exhausted after such a long day.

She immediately went to J's room to let him know what had happened.

Surprisingly, he was alone in the room when he entered so she asked him.

"Where's Angie?"

"I don't know. She excused herself earlier an hour after you left."

"That long?!"

"Yeah."

"And you didn't even bother to look for her?" But seeing J was a patient, she immediately regretted saying that.

"Look, I know I promised when you left that I'll watch over her but she left. I thought she would be going to the other rooms." J tried to explain himself.

"I know. I'm sorry." She said it with a sigh and J immediately picked it up.

"You look down, what happened?"

"The thing that we thought would happen sooner just happened earlier."
