Chapter 42: The Identity of Her Mother

Chapter 42

"Young Miss, you're back. We can have dinner now." Granny Xu brought the chicken soup to the table and went to prepare bowls and chopsticks for Ling Yue.

Ling Yue washed her hands in the washbasin and walked to the table to sit down. "There are so many dishes today, and even chicken soup."

"Young Miss, have a chicken leg." Granny Xu put a chicken leg in Ling Yue's bowl, smiling affectionately at her.

"You have some too, Granny Xu." Ling Yue served Granny Xu the other chicken leg.

"I don't need any. You eat, Young Miss, and replenish your body." Granny Xu pushed the chicken leg back. She had already contacted the other side, believing that someone would come to treat the Young Miss's injuries very soon.

"If you're not eating, then I won't eat either." Ling Yue picked up the chicken leg from her bowl, about to put it back in the clay pot.

Granny Xu shook her head helplessly. "Alright, I'll eat."

Ling Yue smiled and put the chicken leg in Granny Xu's bowl. "That's better."

Granny Xu looked at Ling Yue with helpless adoration. "Young Miss, someone will come to treat your injuries in a few days." She felt she should tell the Young Miss in advance, to mentally prepare her. After all, the visitor was the Young Miss's close relative and had the right to know. However, she didn't know if they would be willing to acknowledge the Young Miss.

"We'll see when the time comes. Let's eat for now." Ling Yue didn't care about having family or not. She wasn't the original soul in this body and only wanted to live happily in this world. As for relatives, if they acknowledged her, having more family members didn't matter. If not, she wouldn't force them.

Granny Xu looked at Ling Yue for a long while, then picked up her chopsticks and began eating. It was good that the Young Miss felt this way.

The summer breeze blew gently, but even people shading themselves with parasols could not escape the scorching heat of the sun.

Inside the air-conditioned room, the gentle cool breeze made the entire space refreshingly cool. Yukihiko Oda was sitting on the sofa, drinking red wine and chatting on the phone in a relaxed manner. "Things are almost settled on my end. Once Jiang You is dead, Dolphin Company will be ours."

"I've hired someone. Jiang You won't live past today." He had repeatedly suffered losses at Jiang You's hands, so he could finally vent his frustrations.

Yukihiko Oda heard some commotion outside and frowned in displeasure. After saying a few words to the person on the phone, he hung up and stood to go check what was happening.

As soon as he opened the room door, he saw a few uniformed officers standing at the entrance. Yukihiko Oda was taken aback for a moment, then put on a friendly smile. "Can I help you officers?"

One of the uniformed officers held up an arrest warrant. "Yukihiko Oda, you are suspected of illegally entering our country to steal important military information. Please come with us."

Yukihiko Oda glanced at the arrest warrant in the officer's hand and smiled faintly. "I'm just an ordinary businessman. I haven't done anything illegal. Isn't this a misunderstanding?" He was a spy from Wo Country who had come to Xia Country posing as a businessman to steal military information. However, he had been very discreet, and his identity documents were classified. Aside from the highest leadership in his country, no one knew his true identity. He wanted to acquire Dolphin Company to facilitate his operations.
