Yunxiu’s trust completely took Tang Yiyi by surprise. She herself was overly suspicious and automatically assud that others were also like her, never imagining that Yunxiu could be so eccentric!
She stared at Yunxiu, wanting to see if he was lying, but she couldn’t discern anything at all. Instead, her heart started to beat faster, swelling with a sourness and a touch of gratitude.
In this world, apart from her son, no one else had trusted her like this!
Tang Yiyi was already sowhat shaken, and now she was completely resolute. She took a deep breath and said softly, "My real na is Tang Yiyi. Two years ago, I was convicted as the murderer in a homicide case; the deceased was a pregnant woman. Soone tried to kill during the transfer, so I escaped, and have been living under a false identity until now."
Yunxiu had no recognition of the na "Tang Yiyi," nor had he paid attention to the notorious case in Songyun City, so he didn’t realize Tang Yiyi was from Songyun City. However, he was smart enough to pick up on the implications in her words even before she finished speaking.
He appreciated Tang Yiyi and had long considered her one of his own, so he couldn’t help but be a bit protective. Upon hearing this, his brow furrowed again, feeling displeased; even his tone carried a tinge of coldness: "So, soone deliberately set you up? Why?"
Tang Yiyi’s words indeed sounded a bit perplexing. After all, pregnant won are too "precious," especially those nearly due to give birth; they are essentially treasured. Even if soone wanted to set up Tang Yiyi, there was no need to go so far as to kill a nearly full-term pregnant woman.
After all, as long as soone is killed in Safe City and captured, the murder charge is unavoidable, even if the cri isn’t as severe as killing a pregnant woman. Even if those behind the scenes wanted Tang Yiyi dead, specifically killing a nearly full-term pregnant woman was excessive and illogical.
Tang Yiyi also found the event suspicious. While she was in detention, her mind kept pondering this matter, but she couldn’t understand why Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan would target that pregnant woman. However, the pregnant woman’s parents were both deceased, and her husband had never appeared, which was indeed sowhat odd.
She had always been unable to figure it out, but now, upon careful reflection, a theory suddenly popped into her head!
Yunxiu’s trust was sothing she cherished greatly, so she didn’t want Yunxiu to doubt her. Thus, after sneaking a glance at Yunxiu, she said, "Do you find it strange too? That soone would be so insane as to fra a person by killing a nearly full-term pregnant woman? Ha, it’s ridiculous!"
Yunxiu keenly noticed Tang Yiyi’s abnormal emotions, nodded but didn’t know what to say, only looking at her with concern.
Tang Yiyi continued, "Actually, the people who set up were my foster parents. Only then did I find out that my mother died shortly after giving birth to . She managed the restaurant inherited from her parents. Those two were the chef and manager of the restaurant, and she entrusted and the restaurant to them, asking them to manage it and raise until I turned 18, after which the restaurant would be transferred to . But..." She shrugged, "It turned out like this."
Yunxiu looked deeply at her. He felt that although Tang Yiyi acted indifferent, she must be very hurt inside, and her mother was evidently not cautious enough in handling such matters, leaving behind significant risks, ultimately leading to Tang Yiyi’s tragic situation!
Yunxiu knew the laws of Hua Country well; although laws and regulations varied slightly between different Safe Cities, they were essentially similar, especially regarding pregnant won, where attitudes were consistent!
Tang Yiyi being falsely accused of killing a nearly full-term pregnant woman was exceptionally severe, and according to the law, she should be exiled to Evil Island! But if that were the case, why would her foster parents insist on killing her? Could it be that there had been so changes?
He didn’t want to reopen Tang Yiyi’s wounds, so he didn’t pursue it further, only saying, "I can help you with your case and your mother’s restaurant; you don’t need to worry."
Tang Yiyi was again surprised. She thought Yunxiu was exceptionally accommodating! In her life, she hadn’t felt much warmth, whether during her ti at the Liu Family or afterward; she had always lived cautiously, nervously. In contrast, Yunxiu’s kindness bewildered her and left her feeling lost!
Back in the Liu Family, Liu Shuya constantly despised her, forcing her to live in the basent like a maid. Liu Pengyi and Liu Zhenlan, although amicable on the surface, never rebuked Liu Shuya, which she understood well.
After leaving, although she t Sun Jian, Zhou Yang, Pang Zhi, and Zhang Xue, their relationships were always based on mutual benefit. Comparatively, she offered more favor towards Pang Zhi and Zhang Xue, but in terms of concern and exhausting efforts to solve her troubles, Yunxiu was the first!
Tang Yiyi hesitated a mont, eventually shaking her head, looking at Yunxiu and said, "If you really want to help , just help resolve this case. As for the restaurant, I want to handle it myself. My foster parents are just small fry; I can do it myself. No need to dirty your hands."
Yunxiu didn’t object. Indeed, personal revenge is more satisfying and less likely to breed inner demons. He appreciated Tang Yiyi and naturally didn’t want her to be fixated on such trivial matters, even ruining her own cultivation.
As for the murder case... His gaze cooled at this thought; he was all too familiar with such matters! Such a major case being easily pinned on Tang Yiyi clearly showed her foster parents had bribed many!
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Where did you live before?"
Tang Yiyi answered without hesitation, "I grew up in Songyun City. There’s a famous Liu’s Restaurant there, which my mother left to . Later, my foster parents changed its na."
Songyun City? Yunxiu’s heart skipped a beat. He discreetly glanced at Tang Yiyi, nodded to show he understood, and thought for a mont. To reassure Tang Yiyi, he added, "I’ll be leaving Wu City tomorrow, and I’ll help you solve this case. You just need to wait for Hope University’s acceptance letter."
He said this, suddenly recalling sothing: "You just ntioned... you turned 18 only a year before? You haven’t even attended the Superpower Academy, yet you beca a Second Level Superpower User in just two years! Have you tested your Talent Level?" He said this, looking at Tang Yiyi with unconcealed joy and admiration in his gaze.
He had initially seen Tang Yiyi’s talent was good, a promising prospect, yet he hadn’t expected such exceptional talent! If, earlier, he considered himself talented, now comparing Tang Yiyi’s cultivation speed, he felt a little ashad!
Nevertheless, this did not dampen his mood! Yunxiu decided that upon returning, he’d have Guan Jin thoroughly investigate Tang Yiyi’s matters and resolve that dreadful case!
