She knew long ago that Joanna wouldn't let her go; she just didn't expect Joanna to come to Jiangcheng in person!
"She wants the Yuancheng Jade Mine," Nan Mufeng said in a low voice.
Nan Tian and Yu Ling heard this, and were both shocked: "The Yuancheng Jade Mine?"
"Yes," Nan Mufeng nodded, "Previously, Lu Cong came to Jiangcheng to run for mayor; he was Joanna's pawn. Lu Cong failed, so now she places her hope on me."
"That jade mine absolutely cannot fall into the hands of bad people," Yu Ling reminded.
"We know. We won't let her succeed. We just need to maneuver a bit more," Nan Mufeng deliberately spoke lightly.
Jian Xi simply closed her eyes in sadness, her hands tightly clenched into fists.
Oh heavens, you've granted me rebirth, why not simply let me live an ordinary life?
"Alright, you handle it yourselves."
...
That night, Jian Xi couldn't sleep. The next day, she decided to find Joanna to talk; she couldn't just wait to be defeated.
