Chapter 264: Leave No Survivors

Li Xiufang raised her head, looking into Yang Xun's earnest eyes. Her lips trembled for a long while before she asked in a quivering voice, "Are... are you telling the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Yang Xun's tone remained calm. "As his wife, even if you don't know exactly what he did, you should have noticed that something was wrong."

She abruptly stood up, her eyes instantly turning red. Her voice choked with sobs. "He... he sent me a message saying he would take me away from here, but he had to get the money first."

"Get the money from where?"

"He didn't say, but I'm guessing... it has to do with someone named Jin," Li Xiufang said, her voice shaking as tears welled up and spilled over. "He never tells me anything, but once he was talking in his sleep. He called the other person Young Master Jin, and said the job was done."

"Do you know when they are supposed to make the trade?" Yang Xun asked.

"I don't know," Li Xiufang cried, shaking her head.
