Chapter 1227 2 Dilemma

Cheng Yunchuan was caught in a dilemma.

On one side is his mother, and on the other side is his lover and friend.

How should he choose?

Jiang Mubai noticed Cheng Yunchuan's hesitation, held his hand tightly, and gave him a firm look.

Just then, a sirens suddenly sounded outside the factory.

The men in black around the factory moved quickly and precisely, blocking all exits in an instant.

The dim light reflected off the cold weapons of these people, and a faint smell of rust filled the air.

Jiang Mubai stood beside Cheng Yunchuan, his eyes frighteningly calm: "It looks like your mother is not only alive, but also thriving."

Her tone was sarcastic, and she showed no anxiety of being besieged at all. She even had a meaningful smile on her lips.

Hearing this, Mother Cheng narrowed her eyes and sneered, "If the deceased Miss Bai Lian from the Jiang family knew that you have become so eloquent now, she might sit up from her coffin and thank me for giving you a second life."

Jiang Mubai blinked and did not get angry at this blatant provocation.

She just turned her head slightly to glance at Cheng Yunchuan beside her: "Is she always so sarcastic? Or does she only give me special treatment?"

Cheng Yunchuan looked at his mother anxiously, his mind in a mess.

How did she survive? What happened back then? And what role did Qin Tian play?

He instinctively wanted to ask but held back, and just held Jiang Mubai's hand tightly, saying in a low voice: "Don't say too much, listen to what else she wants to do first."

"Yunchuan, seeing you so defensive, it really chills my heart as a mother."

Cheng's mother's tone softened a bit, but still contained a sneer: "I came prepared this time, and I won't let you refuse so easily."

She waved her hand, and the man in black standing beside her raised a projector, and pictures were projected on the huge white wall in the factory.

Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly shrank. Those photos were the family photos he had been secretly investigating in recent years, as well as some details about the case that was covered up that year.

"Have you always wanted to find out the cause of death of your biological mother and me?"

Mother Cheng said coldly: "I tell you, Qin Tian knows all the truth."

Jiang Mubai's eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes passed over the photos, and she silently memorized the important information. She saw Cheng Yunchuan's back was as stiff as a fully drawn bowstring, and whispered, "Don't worry, she is forcing you to listen to the conditions."

Mother Cheng obviously noticed Jiang Mubai's whisper. A trace of displeasure flashed across her face. She stopped beating around the bush and said, "Yunchuan, my request is very simple. Help me investigate the secret network behind the Qin family and uproot it. Otherwise, these things will appear in all mainstream media tomorrow morning, letting the whole world know the mystery of Mr. Cheng's life experience!"

Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fingers so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.

Cheng's mother had indeed made a good calculation. She seized his weakness and threatened him with public reputation and inherited secrets.

But compared to these, Cheng's mother's current behavior made him feel a strange sense of alienation and fear. Is this the mother in his memory?

"Are you sure you can keep the situation under control?"

Jiang Mubai's voice broke the deadlock at the right time, with a hint of disapproval: "The Qin family is not stupid. Those who dare to play with knives behind their backs have long been prepared for the blade to bite back. Are those secrets you mentioned really worth playing out all your cards?"

Mother Cheng's eyes turned cold, and she took a step forward. Her voice was like a frosted blade cutting through her ears: "Jiang Mubai, I advise you not to challenge my patience. I know who you are and what you hold in your hands, but don't forget that you are using someone else's skin now."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of sirens outside the factory became closer and closer. It was obvious that law enforcement agencies had already locked on to the location.

Mother Cheng's face darkened slightly. She turned around and quickly waved to the man in black behind her: "Retreat!"

"stop!"

Cheng Yunchuan took a step forward, his eyes sharp: "Don't even think about leaving, these things must be explained today!"

Mother Cheng turned her head leisurely and smiled coldly: "Now is not the time. But Yunchuan, I believe you will help me make the right choice. If law enforcement finds these photos, what will happen? You know better than me. Anyway, we will meet again."

Watching her figure gradually disappear under the protection of the men in black, Cheng Yunchuan clenched his fists, and his knuckles made a frightening crackling sound.

The struggle and anger in his eyes were like the turbulent sea before a storm, with waves difficult to calm down.

Jiang Mubai stood there, lowered his head and thought for a while, then gently patted Cheng Yunchuan on the shoulder: "Let's go, the police are here, take Qin Tian out."

Cheng Yunchuan turned his head and glanced at her. At that moment, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He seemed to want to forcefully ask something, but he held back and only replied in a deep voice, "Okay."

However, when they just pulled the weak Qin Tian to the factory door, a cold but familiar voice popped out from the headphones.

"Jiang Mubai, your mission has failed."

Jiang Mubai's expression suddenly changed, and he almost subconsciously turned to look at Cheng Yunchuan.

The other party also stopped suddenly at this moment, with suspicion, uneasiness and complex emotions intertwined in his eyes, as if digging into the depths of her soul.

"Who are you?" Cheng Yunchuan asked in a low voice, with a restrained yet aggressive sense of oppression in his voice.

Jiang Mubai was speechless for a moment. She knew that at this moment, her secret was only one step away from being exposed.

Jiang Mubai's heart sank suddenly, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

The cold voice in the headset was like a sharp thorn, mercilessly piercing through her carefully woven disguise. She knew that the game was over.

Cheng Yunchuan's eyes wandered over her face like a searchlight, trying to find the answer from the subtle changes in her expression.

His thin lips were tightly pursed, his jawline was tense, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

"J?"

He finally spoke, his voice terribly low, as if squeezed out from deep in his chest: "Are you 'J'?"

Jiang Mubai took a deep breath and tried to stay calm. At this point, no amount of explanation would seem futile: "Yes." She admitted frankly, looking straight at him without any evasion.

Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He staggered back a step and shook his head in disbelief: "Why?" He murmured in a low voice, his voice full of pain and confusion.

"No reason, this is my mission." Jiang Mubai replied calmly, with a barely perceptible bitterness in his tone.

Cheng Yunchuan seemed to have heard a joke, with a bitter smile on his face: "Mission? So, getting close to me and gaining my trust is all for the mission?"

Jiang Mubai did not answer and tacitly agreed with his statement. Under the dim light in the factory, her face looked particularly pale, but her eyes were unusually firm.
