The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 326 Not yet

Lu Mengjie wondered why Bella suddenly wanted to meet up with her so she agreed to see her that day. She drove her way to District C. It was almost a two hours drive from the place she came from. She headed straight to the address that Bella sent her, it so happened that it was one of Pride's residential homes.

The person who first greeted her when she entered the place was none other than Bella herself.

"Xiao Meng, I'm glad to see that you have arrived safely." She pulled her into a gentle embrace. "As much as I wanted to head to you, I can't, I'm sorry dear."

Lu Mengjie hugged her back. "It's alright," she replied with a small smile as she pulled back from the hug. "Anyway, why did you want me to come here?"

"I know so many things have happened to you the past few days... I want to somehow lessen the burden you're carrying." Bella gently cupped Lu Mengjie's cheek as she noticed how pale she became. The dark bags under her eyes didn't go unnoticed by her as well.

The young woman ended up blinking a few times, somehow puzzled at the words Bella stated. "What do you mean?"

"Come, I'll show you." She took her hand in hers and began leading the way upstairs. They stopped in front of a certain room located in the middle of the hallway.

Bella held the doorknob and slowly turned it. She gently pushed the door open and when she did, the sight of a dark-haired man, sitting in the middle of the bed came into view.

Bella sighed. "We can't tell her since she's currently with Si Guanlin."

"Huh?" Lu Mengjie was dumbfounded at the words she said. "W-with Si Guanlin? What do you mean? How did you...?"

"The person who was assigned to kill Bai Jingye was one of Si Guanlin's men. Her name is Matsuma Ohana. Despite working under that man, she had helped us in covering Bai Jingye's tracks. It's already surprising that she easily handed Bai Jingye to me when I arrived." She walked towards the sofa and sat there. "I'm not sure if she's on our side or not. We don't know what's the deal with her but one thing is for sure, her loyalty is not with Si Guanlin."

After everything she said, the only thing that was playing in Lu Mengjie's mind was the fact that Tian Ruyi was with Si Guanlin. Why would she go to him?

"That's why we can't let her know right now." Bai Jingye's voice brought her out of her thoughts.

"I'm sure that Si Guanlin might have said something to deceive Xiao Ruyi. If she knows that you're alive, she will surely come back to our side."

"But you will only be endangering her if you do that. As long as she's with him, she's basically his hostage." When he learned about the situation Tian Ruyi was currently in from Bella, his initial reaction was similar to Lu Mengjie's.

The younger woman pursed her lips and clenched her fists right as she lowered her head. It was not like what they said was wrong. "I have to see and talk to her..." "I also want that, Mengjie but given the situation right now, I don't think it will be that easy to reach out to her." Bai Jingye sighed. He couldn't help but blame himself for putting his childhood friend in danger.

"Si Guanlin..." She gritted through her teeth. She knew how he worked, how poisonous his words were. She never thought that he would reach out to Tian Ruyi and use her against them. He had always been their enemy. She may have turned a blind eye to his works in the past but not this time. She had to do something and stop him before any more lives would be taken.
