Chapter 251: Pretending Too Well
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Yin had vanished!
This revelation was astonishing. When Song Ting received the news, he questioned whether he had heard correctly. It was the first time he doubted his hearing abilities.
Even though the Song family’s dungeon hadn’t been utilized for many years, there were always people maintaining it.
The personnel in the Disciplinary Hall were regularly replaced to ensure strong individuals were guarding inside.
These guards underwent strict training to maintain the physical strength expected of special forces soldiers.
Upon considering Song Yin had been pampered since childhood and lacked physical strength, it seemed implausible for her to disappear from the water prison.
Song Ting didn’t believe she could manage it on her own. The members of the torture hall reported sudden fainting and disappearance upon waking up, indicating someone had rescued Song Yin.
Song Ting’s primary suspect was Meng Yu, Song Yin’s mother, who had a motive to save her.
He chose not to disclose this matter to Song Yi and convened a meeting with the other three brothers to discuss it. Song Fan was not present at this meeting.
Upon hearing the news, Song Kai reacted strongly, exclaiming, “What? She ran away?”
Song Huai quickly restrained him, urging him to lower his voice to prevent others in the house from hearing.
“I’ve used the best soundproofing material in my study. No one will hear us. The most crucial thing now is to find Song Yin,” Song Ting said.
Song Ting believed Song Yin needed to be captured. His sister had endured much suffering in the countryside and spent years recovering—all due to the poisoning orchestrated by Meng Yu.
Convinced that Meng Yu was responsible for his mother’s death, Song Ting wished he could send her to the dungeon.
Song Yin had not paid enough for her actions, and Song Ting was determined to bring her back.
However, Song Chuan raised a valid point, asking, “Do you think Meng Yu has a powerful individual working under her to breach the defenses of the Disciplinary Hall?”
“They could also be mercenaries,” Song Huai suggested. “The ones who tried to kill little sister last time were mercenaries. They might even be from the same regiment. ”
Upon agreeing with this possibility, Song Ting considered their proficiency in deception. Song Kai expressed surprise, stating, “Meng Yu is so good at pretending. We haven’t realized that she’s such a person for so many years.”
The answer was clear—Meng Yu was skilled at deception, and even the brothers had been deceived. Upon reflecting on Meng Yu’s entrance into the Song Family, they remembered her modest requests and considerate actions, creating a favorable impression.
Moreover, nothing in the house related to Yu Wan had been disturbed. Meng Yu had preserved Yu Wan’s room and chose to reside elsewhere.
Such actions naturally earned her the goodwill of the entire family. She consistently reminded Song Ting not to forget to send things to Song Fan, portraying extreme virtuousness.
For so many years, no one had discovered her true identity. If it weren’t for Song Fan’s return, they would still be kept in the dark. Upon thinking about this, Song Ting felt ashamed.
“In short, we now know what kind of person Meng Yu is, so we can be prepared,” summarized Song Huai. “It doesn’t matter what happens to us, but we must protect our little sister.”
Song Chuan agreed, stating, “Little sister’s safety is the most important thing.”
“I don’t think our little sister needs our protection.” Song Kai scratched his head. “With her skills, even the special forces wouldn’t be able to defeat her. Moreover, she carries a gun at all times. I’ll believe it if you say she’s the boss of a gang.”
There was almost no age difference between Song Kai and Song Fan. The two of them were born one after the other. Later, Song Fan was sent to the countryside, so he did not have many memories of his little sister.
When he met Song Fan again, she had already become so powerful. He couldn’t remember how she used to follow behind him when she was young. He only knew that Song Fan was a powerful person who could do anything.
Song Huai knocked his head. “No matter how powerful she is, she’s still our little sister. We must protect her well.”
“But I also want to know what little sister has experienced,” Song Chuan said. “She’s so powerful now because she’s experienced it. She must have suffered a lot back then.”
Song Huai sighed. “I’ve also investigated what little sister has been doing all these years, but there has always been a blank period in between. No matter how I investigate, there’s no trace of her. She must have learned these skills during this blank period.”
“I’d rather she wasn’t as powerful as she is now,” Song Ting said dejectedly..
