Chapter 1460: Everyone Returns to Their Place (Part 12)

The Master nodded.

Jiaojiao decided to go in. It wasn’t out of some great fearless spirit; it’s just that if it couldn’t threaten her, there was nothing to be afraid of. After all, she was a mature cat who had died several times, wasn’t she?

However, her going in wasn’t an easy matter. While she was willing, the three accompanying men absolutely refused.

Especially Jianguo, who nearly picked her up and ran away.

Ruan Hao also looked disapproving, patting her little head: "Be good, don’t make us worry."

"Meow." It’s okay, didn’t the Master say so? She can’t threaten me anymore.

"I’ll go in with you," Xiu Xi said.

"Meow." She said she wanted to see me alone, so she probably wouldn’t agree.

Previously, when Jiaojiao didn’t know that the Evil Nightmare was actually Yuan Manman, she would be genuinely scared upon hearing about her. But somehow, once the veil was lifted and she knew it was Yuan Manman, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

"Without me, she won’t understand," said Xiu Xi.

Jiaojiao blinked. It was true, so she helplessly looked back at the Master.

After the Master consulted with Yuan Manman, Xiu Xi was finally allowed to go in too.

Before going in, Jiaojiao opened her little paws, first hugging Ruan Hao’s face and nuzzling him with her little head, before doing the same to Jianguo, softly comforting the two men she loved most in the world: "Meow." Now you can be assured, Brother Xi is with me.

With Xiu Xi around, the two of them were indeed less worried. Given his current speed, if anything happened, he would have enough time to carry her out.

When Jiaojiao finally went inside, except for Xin Miao, the others were all puzzled, failing to associate the cat with Jiaojiao. Duan Qianyang’s mind flashed with something, then he looked in shock at the kitten his son had carried to the door where Yuan Manman was held.

This... this... could this be the little daughter-in-law his son had recognized?!!

Meanwhile, Jiaojiao and Xiu Xi had already entered the room. Yuan Manman was still tied up when she entered, the towel in her mouth had been removed. It had been four or five days since she was confined, so she looked a bit out of sorts, even the cold, sinister aura she used to carry wasn’t as intense.

Jiaojiao didn’t dare get too close after entering, so she perched on a table opposite the bed.

Seeing Yuan Manman silent, Jiaojiao took the initiative to speak: "Meow?" What do you want to say?

Yuan Manman didn’t move, as if she hadn’t heard.

Jiaojiao was made even more anxious by her reaction, suspiciously eyeing her: "Meow." If you don’t talk, I’ll leave.

Only then did Yuan Manman slowly raise her head, her eyes still as black as ever, almost seemingly without whites, making one feel extremely creepy at just a glance.

She stared at Jiaojiao for a long while, only speaking in a hoarse voice when Jiaojiao was about to crumble under her gaze: "You, have you seen her?"

Her.

Jiaojiao almost immediately understood who this "her" referred to.

She nodded: "Meow." She once treated me as compensation for you.

When she first met the old Madam Yuan, she really treated her very well. But at that time, she thought it was just good fortune on her part to have met a benefactor, not knowing that the other side saw her as a replacement for compensation.
