A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1527 - 293: A World of Black and White

This Jade Pendant was deliberately sent to her, what is her intention?

"Since you know the origin of the Jade Pendant, do you know the whereabouts of the other pendants? Queen is also searching for them. Following this clue, maybe we can make other discoveries." Lin Tao gazed deeply at Yun Ya, trying to find flaws in her expression.

However, he was disappointed. Except for a slight change in Yun Ya’s gaze when she saw the Jade Pendant, he couldn’t find anything else in her expression.

"I don’t know," Yun Ya said.

"Is that so? That’s really unfortunate." Lin Tao sighed, yet his heart was cautious. He instinctively felt that Yun Ya was hiding something from him.

"Can I keep this Jade Pendant here for now? I’ll mobilize my people to look for the whereabouts of the other pendants. Maybe we’ll discover something?"

Lin Tao smiled, "Keeping it with me is useless anyway. If you need it, feel free to take it."

"Thank you." Yun Ya felt a bit guilty for deceiving Lin Tao, but she couldn’t let him discover her relationship with Queen. Otherwise, given Lin Tao’s nature... their cooperation might end here.

"How are things at Qinglong Hall? Is everything okay?" Yun Ya asked.

Lin Tao smirked, "Good or bad, life always moves forward. In any case, I won’t let you down."

Yun Ya smiled, "Take your time. Remember, outside of these matters, there are more important people waiting for you."

Lin Tao’s gaze became slightly hazy, his expression momentarily gentle.

"Are she... and the child doing well?"

"What do you think? A single mom with a child surrounded by predatory so-called family members, how well could they be?"

Lin Tao scratched his head, "Give me a little more time..."

Yun Ya comforted, "Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. Someday, she’ll understand you."

Lin Tao closed his eyes, "I’m just afraid she’ll never forgive me once she knows the truth."

"Are you going to stay unrecognized by them for your whole life?"

Lin Tao raised a hand to rub his brow, "We’ll talk about it later."

"It’s getting late, I should get going. Stay safe, and contact me if anything happens." Yun Ya stood up to leave.

"Yun Ya," Lin Tao suddenly called out to her.

Yun Ya paused, eyes slightly narrowed.

Because a cold, dark gun barrel was pressed against her lower back.

She stood there, not daring to move.

Mingyue silently appeared, the cold gleam in her hand reflecting the icy coldness in the man’s eyes, causing him to squint instinctively.

"Stand down," Yun Ya said calmly.

Mingyue glanced at Lin Tao, stepped back, but did not leave.

Lin Tao hadn’t expected Yun Ya to have such an expert by her side. Judging by the skill, it seemed like the legendary descendants of ancient martial arts families, could these so-called ancient martial arts families really exist?

This thought flashed briefly through his mind; he heard Yun Ya’s voice in his ear, "What do you mean?"

Lin Tao mumbled, "I didn’t want this either, but Yun Ya, I just want to ask you one question."

Yun Ya had an inkling; Lin Tao was too smart, she couldn’t hide anything from him for too long. He must have figured out something, or he wouldn’t have risked coming here.

"What do you want to ask?"

After brief silence, Lin Tao’s deep voice sounded slowly.

"What exactly is your relationship with Queen?"

Ultimately, he asked the question.

What relationship does she have with Queen?

Who is Queen, the feared crime boss, mysterious, powerful, and ruthless? Many worship her, while many, upon hearing her name, are weak at the knees. And she, an ordinary person, could have what relationship with such a formidable figure?

At that moment, she suddenly wanted to laugh.

"I don’t know what deep hatred exists between you and him that makes you so reckless, but I know a person of his rumored ruthlessness who wouldn’t spare even pregnant women and three-year-old children, showing mercy only to someone who provoked him several times. I’ve waited too long for this day; I can no longer afford any failure, Yun Ya. I just want to hear the truth."

The seed of suspicion was planted two years ago, during which he not only endured hardship but also gathered lots of firsthand information. For instance, the death of Prince Emil at Country M’s Shengguang Grand Hotel, Ji Yunya stayed in the same hotel, and while the prince’s death still remains a mystery, Lin Tao held firsthand evidence showing Prince Emil was killed by Queen.

No such thing as coincidence exists in this world. When piecing together these fragments, one arrives at a conclusion he doesn’t wish to acknowledge.

"If I say Queen and I are mother and daughter, would you believe it?" Yun Ya spoke calmly.

Lin Tao was momentarily stunned.

Yun Ya began to laugh, "See, even you think it’s impossible. So what are you doubting? All you need to know is that Queen and I have an irreconcilable enmity, and that’s enough."
