Chapter 2148: Chapter 2051: Threat
After playing the contents of the recording pen, Huo Sining lifted her head and looked ironically at the couple, Tong Jian and Zhang Jing:
"This child should be Mr. Tong’s sister-in-law’s child, right? Her girl is raised delicate, fair, and chubby, indeed exquisite and pretty. But how come my child, in your family, not only doesn’t get enough food and warm clothes, but also has to work like a horse and even give you money? Such a thing doesn’t make sense in this world, does it?"
Tong Jian was immediately speechless, wanting to argue but couldn’t find a single word to refute.
"Elisa is generous to you two, not treating you shabbily. But look at how the child is treated in your care. It’s not just Elisa herself, even as outsiders, we feel cold-hearted and chilly. The way you two conduct yourselves is not on the level. A child in your home for so many years, you’d have feelings even for a pet, let alone a person?"
"If I hadn’t come looking, even Elisa would be kept in the dark. She thought you two were simple and honest, sincerely caring for her child. But who knew, the child was being abused in your house, enduring cold and hunger in the winter, even picking up trash to sell for money. That little girl is only five, your sister-in-law’s child is raised so delicately, how can you treat her this way? By comparison, don’t you feel ashamed?"
"Without household registration, not letting the child go to school, what’s your plan? To pocket the huge support fee from her biological mother and have someone work like a horse for you for life? Is there such a good thing under the sun?"
Once Huo Sining started talking, she couldn’t stop, for the deeds of this pair were truly unprincipled.
"Is this what you call treating her like your biological daughter? Aren’t you afraid of having your tongues twisted saying such things?"
Huo Sining didn’t want to entangle with these two, she said directly: "You got a fake to impersonate, are you trying to fool a fool? Alright, just dismiss that idea, it won’t work. Mr. Tong, if you’re not afraid of me calling the police, you’d better hand over the child honestly. I don’t want to waste any more time here with you. Hand over the child to me, I will take her away, and from now on we will go our separate ways, never to be involved again!"
Upon hearing Huo Sining’s words, Tong Jian remained silent, but Zhang Jing on the other side got anxious:
"Without paying, you want to take the child away, you’re dreaming! If you have the guts, bring the money in exchange, otherwise, I’m telling you, there’s no way!"
Huo Sining raised an eyebrow: "Mrs. Tong, are you sure?"
That dead girl Tongtong already went missing, it’s uncertain which remote corner she was trafficked to, and Zhang Jing wasn’t worried at all about this woman named Huo finding the child.
Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but feel a bit schadenfreude, proudly raised her chin, and said to Huo Sining with arrogance:
"So what if I’m sure? If you have the ability, go find her yourself. I’d like to see how you can find the child without the guidance of our couple! You’re Elisa’s agent lawyer, then pass a message to that woman, if she wants her daughter, she has to bring money to exchange, otherwise, she’ll never see her daughter again in her lifetime!"
Zhang Jing was quite bold, probably because she wasn’t very educated, she was fearless. After threatening Huo Sining, she wasn’t satisfied and continued:
"Besides, don’t think our couple is easy to bully. Elisa can put her daughter in our care, you know her identity, I don’t need to say it. If she can do such unspeakable things, she should be prepared for being known by others."
"If she really comes for it hard, the couple isn’t easy to deal with. At worst, it’s a dead end for both sides. By then, I can’t guarantee her deeds won’t be known by the third or fourth person. If she’s not afraid of being disgraced and infamous forever, she can bring it on. Barefooters aren’t afraid of wearing shoes, let her come try!"
When Huo Sining first heard Zhang Jing mention Elisa’s identity, her heart couldn’t help but tighten. She thought Elisa’s mercenary identity had been known by Zhang Jing. She secretly thought it was a disaster. If this woman was to spread the word, it might attract attention from Mexico and even Elisa’s original mercenary company.
If those people knew that Elisa still had a daughter alive, they would undoubtedly shift their focus to Tongtong and might even guess if the information Elisa stole from Tranleva’s lair was also handed over to Tongtong.
As such, Tongtong would be in danger!
Elisa might not be around anymore, but she managed everything over the years, guarding Tongtong’s secret, and even at the cost of mother-daughter separation, she fostered the child in the Tong family, just to keep Tongtong safe, happy, and to grow up smoothly.
Having set up such a big scheme and sacrificed so much, if it was ruined by Zhang Jing and her husband in the end, not only would Elisa be very unwilling, but Huo Sining absolutely would not allow this situation to happen!
A trace of murderous intent slowly rose in Huo Sining’s eyes. She glared coldly at Zhang Jing and began to ponder strategies to deal with the couple.
But slowly, as she listened, Huo Sining started to feel something was wrong.
Elisa, back in Mexico, was very cautious and careful, very clean and efficient in her actions, leaving no trace. Even when tortured by those drug dealers, she could hold onto rationality and boundaries, firmly clinging to secrets. How could she easily reveal her identity to Zhang Jing and her husband?
Huo Sining couldn’t figure it out, with such doubts in mind, as she continued to listen to Zhang Jing, a peculiar expression gradually emerged on her face.
Words like unspeakable deeds, disgrace, and infamy forever, aren’t these terms rather strange to describe Elisa, a mercenary? Moreover, even if Elisa’s identity was exposed, it would only catch the eyes of some interested individuals; other irrelevant people probably wouldn’t even pay attention to this matter. How could it lead to disgrace and infamy? Isn’t this ridiculous?
Huo Sining was very puzzled, her eyes involuntarily showing a bit of confusion, she subconsciously asked, "What unspeakable deeds, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Seeing Huo Sining’s bewildered expression, Zhang Jing sneered and said, "Pretending to be all that, do you think I would believe it? That Elisa, so young and yet so rich. If she’s rich and had a child, but didn’t dare raise it herself, do I need to tell you what her identity must be?"
