Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The matter was too important; Liu Shii couldn’t afford to be polite. She spoke out, “How can I trust you? Since our first encounter, your attention towards has been strange. Later, you volunteered to provide with rare dicinal supplies… among other kind gestures, all of which seed suspicious inside and out.”
Her tone was sharp, her words not yet finished. “And now you’re telling that the person guiding to investigate my brother’s death is also you! You’re also the one advising not to challenge those above my station!”
Her gaze was sharp and cold, fixed on Mu Jiangli’s deep eyes. “Mu Jiangli, who are you really? Why are you doing all this? If this has nothing to do with you, why interfere?”
Mu Jiangli sighed softly.
When Huangfu Lingyao first asked for his help, he initially refused. Considering their friendship, and with Huangfu Lingyao willing to offer him substantial benefits, he agreed to discreetly assist Huangfu Lingyao in protecting a newly opened dical hall.
He was even willing to support it.
But…
He hadn’t expected the person running the dical hall to be Liu Shii!
Huangfu Lingyao was too anxious, constantly pushing him. He had to resort to aggressive thods. He knew he was likely scaring her off with such rash behavior.
Liu Shii wasn’t unintelligent; she was very astute!
Empty complints are either deceit or thievery; his actions ended up being counterproductive.
“No matter what you suspect of , but… Shii, regardless of my intentions, I would never harm you.”
He repeated his words, saying, “I can’t say more than this.”
“So among the enemies, this internal traitor is Mada Zhang?” Liu Shii knew that if he said so, he must have hit a dead end. So, she focused on a smaller target!
Mu Jiangli didn’t confirm or deny. He lowered his eyelids and said, “I have no place to intervene in such matters, and… it has nothing to do with . Therefore, I can only remind you, Mada Zhang is just a helpless woman, incapable of such things!”
“Then why didn’t you tell directly?” Liu Shii couldn’t understand. “If you already knew, why did you make run around investigating?”
Seeing her getting anxious. Mu Jiangli sighed deeply. “Because I only had speculations, no evidence. So, I had to guide you to investigate; I couldn’t give you a definite answer.”
Liu Shii squinted her eyes, not fully trusting his words.
Mu Jiangli smiled bitterly. “Shii, this isn’t my business. I have little connection with Wu Qiang. So why would you think I’d investigate this thoroughly? Do I have so much free ti?”
Before she could respond, he laughed again, saying, “I’ve been alone all these years, without any family or attachnts. I felt an inexplicable connection with you, and I couldn’t help wanting to get closer to you and help you.”
He shook his head helplessly. “Of course, my sudden involvent must have raised your suspicions. Why would a stranger do all this?”
His words, ‘I don’t have much connection with Wu Qiang, why would I investigate this?’ finally convinced Liu Shii.
She thought, ‘Indeed. Maybe I was too impatient, always thinking he was good to and would tell everything he knew. But in reality… why would he?’
In the end, it was her who had been a bit too presumptuous.
It was her mistake!
