Chapter 2804: Justice of the Heroine
Although Xu Xian did not state it directly, her series of actions just now implied this.
Not to mention Jiang Wan, even Shi Li understood it.
Xu Xian's behavior was really too mean-spirited.
"So, you suspect that Mo Xue's father faked his death, and you also suspect that he is hiding here with Jiang Wan?" Shi Li knew that with Jiang Wan's personality, she would definitely not be able to say anything sharp, and as a friend, she couldn't help but stand up directly.
"How could that be? Miss Shi, you are too polite." Xu Xian gave a fake smile. In fact, that was what she meant, but she was still embarrassed when Shi Li pointed it out to her. She thought to herself that Shi Li was really meddling in other people's business.
Shi Li would not play along with her, she sneered, "What do you mean? What's the meaning of you secretly looking around the room just now? And you wanted to hug Mo Xue just now, didn't you want to use him as a hostage?"
Xu Xian's expression changed.
I have to say, Shi Li actually guessed what she was thinking.
Even though there was no other evidence except the golden hook, she was certain that Mo Xi must have faked his death. Now that the truth had been revealed, he would definitely come after Jiang Wan and the child.
So when she pulled Mo Xue just now, what she was thinking of was to use Mo Xue as a hostage bait to lure Mo Xi out.
"I wasn't at the scene that year, so I don't know whether he faked his death or not. But I haven't seen him in all these years, and Xue'er has been without a father since he was born. You don't need to waste your energy here." No matter how good-tempered Jiang Wan was, she couldn't be nice when she encountered things involving Mo Xue, and she simply gave the order to leave with a cold face.
Seeing that something was not right, Hong Quan quickly said, "Miss Jiang, that's not what we meant. We just wanted to ask you if you know who else might have been related to Mo Xi and got the golden hook?"
"I don't know." Jiang Wan's patience with Hong Quan was almost exhausted, and she answered with her eyes downcast. She was indeed young and ignorant at the time. Although she and Mo Xi promised to spend their lives together, she actually knew nothing about what Mo Xi did outside and who he met.
"You said you didn't know. That's really hard to believe." Seeing Jiang Wan like this, Xu Xian stopped pretending and said aggressively, "Everyone knows that the Golden Hook was Mo Xi's famous weapon back then. If it wasn't him, who else could it be?"
Jiang Wan didn't want to say a word to her. She just pointed at the door, indicating that they could leave.
Xu Xian was naturally unwilling, but Hong Quan gave her a hand, allowing her to leave reluctantly.
After sending everyone away, Jiang Wan and Shi Li were left looking at each other.
"Lili, you don't mean to dishearten me either, do you?" Jiang Wan was a little disheartened. She hugged Mo Xue in her arms and looked at Shi Li with resentment.
Shi Li rolled her eyes silently, "Let's not talk about whether I believe you or not. You and I are separated by a wall. If you really are hiding someone, how can I not know? This is a question of you not trusting me, right?"
This was a very sharp and unique angle. Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing, and then scolded: "Even if it's the truth, you really..."
"I don't like beating around the bush." Shi Li curled her lips, but became more worried about Jiang Wan.
If Xu Xian can suspect Jiang Wan because of the golden hook, then other people can too. The two sects whose people have died will not let it go and they will probably come to visit in the near future.
It is true that the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop.
Shi Li didn't want to care about this matter and didn't believe it. She was not a saint, but she was not a mean person who would ignore her friends in trouble.
"Be careful and don't go out recently. If you need anything, I'll buy it for you." Shi Liduo gave more instructions before leaving.
Jiang Wan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she smiled somewhat sadly.
"Lili, if I hadn't known you, I would..."
"Don't make assumptions. Who made you know me?" Shi Li directly blocked her mouth.
Little did they know that after Hong Quan and Xu Xian left Jiang Wan, they had a big fight on the road.
Hong Quan accused Xu Xian of doubting Jiang Wan, but Xu Xian felt that Hong Quan was deliberately protecting Jiang Wan. In the end, Xu Xian left alone with her daughter in her arms.
Hong Quan had been accommodating her in the past few years, but this time he did not chase her. Instead, he went back to the inn alone, wanting to wait until Xu Xian's anger subsided before coming back.
"Do you think that Mo Xi faked his death back then?" After Shi Li returned, he also told Jingzhe about this matter, wanting to hear the opinion of this complete outsider.
Jingzhe sat beside her silently, his fingers dishonestly placed on her hand, fingertips touching each other, his slightly drooped eyelids revealing a bit of nonchalance.
Apart from Shili and Mingzhu, he doesn't care about anyone or anything.
But since Shi Li asked, he answered: "Generally speaking, if you fall off Wankui Cliff, you will die. But since no one has seen his body, there is always a possibility of an accident."
"If he wasn't dead, he would be a piece of shit!" Shi Li cursed immediately.
