A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 140

Bun shook her head, "It's not like that. My father wasn't executed secretly because they lost the battle. The enemies knew our strategies before the war. So, we were doomed to lose either way." She managed to say.

"But how?" Linda's curiosity peaked.

Bun looked down on the ground with her lips slightly quivering. Then she bit her lips and said, "It's because of me."

Back then, I was there every night, watching my father planning our strategic moves. I paid so much attention and so I knew almost every detail about them. I did it because I wanted my father to be proud of me, and I knew that's what he wanted."

Bun was becoming calm as she kept talking, "I was kidnapped one night when my father left for a meeting."

"Did they torture you to get the information out of you?" Linda asked, already able to piece the puzzle together.

"No, they didn't. But they hypnotized me. All I could remember was that they put a helmet-like thing on my head, and my head was kind of buzzing and I became so sleepy. And then it was a blur." Bun shuddered, remembering memories that she had tried to suppress. She still has nightmares about it.

"But how did you know you were hypnotized? You were supposed to be unconscious." Linda then brought up another question. Though it was Bun's fault that they lost the battle, one could hardly blame her for being hypnotized and revealing the secrets.

So, Linda began to review the situation and hoped to find something that might help Bun.

It seemed that Sarah Shen found out recently. But how did she find out? Who told her? Linda had no doubt that Sarah Shen would use this information against Bun.

"Well I didn't, at first. I was hypnotized and told them everything, but I had been sent back home when I woke up. And we had already lost the war by that moment. Then, a group of people came to my house and took me away. The doctors ran some tests on me and then told me I was hypnotized and that I had given away all our tactics when I didn't even know it..."

Linda stroked Bun's head, trying to comfort her. She felt so sorry for Bun, "I shouldn't have forced you to reveal your secret. We all have something that we'd like to keep to ourselves. It's only because Sarah Shen knows about this and I know that she will use it to hurt you. I just wanted to see if I can help you. I hope you don't mind."

Bun shook her head with a weak smile, "It's alright, My Lady."

Bun then filled Linda in on the rest of the story, starting with the fact that Bun was also supposed to be executed. However, trying to save his best friend's daughter, James Mu went to his father and hoped that there was something he could do to help. And finally, Bun was saved and sent to an orphanage. A few years later, Bun volunteered to join the female armed police force and stayed there for eight whole years. After that, she wanted to return the favor to the Mu clan, and so she became Charles Mu's bodyguard.

Linda empathized with the trials and tribulations that Bun had gone through in her life. Bun was born into a great family with a marvelous father. She used to have it all and she could have been the greatest female naval officer ever!

Linda decided to talk to Charles Mu about it later, for there was still something that she couldn't figure out, what exactly did Lord Mu do to keep Bun alive?

If people found out the truth, could Bun be lucky enough to get away with treason? Even though it was involuntary, it was still considered treason to reveal secrets to the enemy. Bun might have been executed secretly back then when the law system was imperfect, But not in these days. According to the relevant laws that Linda had looked up, Bun would only serve her sentence in jail for probably seven years.

"Alright, let's just go home. You haven't eaten today, right?" said Linda while taking Bun's hand.
