Chapter 677: Chapter 674
“Dannie, he just rescued you, you can’t burn your bridges like this!”
Ailin said angrily as well.
The woman who had been saved looked frightened as she gazed at them, pointing at Lu Xiao and murmured:
“I didn’t lie to you. Think about it, Kami was stabbed, and he was the last one to see Kami. So if it wasn’t him who hard her, then who was it?”
Her analysis left everyone speechless.
They looked at each other. If they thought about it carefully, Lu Xiao was indeed the pri suspect.
Just as Dannie had said, he was the last one to see Kami.
If it wasn’t him, then who could it be?
Wen Xian heard their words and took a deep breath. She didn’t get angry because she knew that getting angry at this point was useless, and would only lead them to think that she was being partial.
Her fists clenched tighter as she tried to speak calmly:
“I know my husband is the main suspect now, but without evidence, none of you can jump to conclusions. Have you ever considered that there might be other people on this island besides us…!?”
As she spoke, a breeze blew through the trees, and there seed to be a rustling sound in the distance, though it was unclear what it was.
The group felt their hair stand on end again.
They also started to feel that Wen Xian made good sense.
At this mont, Lu Xiao, who had been silent up until then, also spoke up, his brows slightly furrowed:
“If you suspect , you can tie up, but I must remind all of you that there are others on this island.”
While saying this, Lu Xiao glanced at the pit he was in and began to inspect his surroundings, slowly adding:
“The place where I am right now is a trap, camouflaged with weeds and branches on top. It rained recently, and a misstep on the slippery ground could easily cause prey to fall in.
Look at the soil around you, it’s loose. It’s not naturally like this; it’s a result of setting traps, and at that ti, I was with all of you.”
When he finished speaking, David and the others went to inspect the soil. Indeed, so of it looked compacted but was actually soft, not the sort of ground that becos hard over ti.
David then murmured:
“It’s just as Lu Xiao said; this is man-made… a trap.”
Hearing this, everyone grew even more uneasy. If this was the case, it ant that there were others on this island, unknown assailants launching attacks against them.
“But—”
Dannie looked down at Lu Xiao in the pit, still hesitant.
Wen Xian clenched her fists.
She wanted so badly to punch this ungrateful woman. She knew better than anyone the kind of person Lu Xiao was, but sotis she also resented him.
Resented how he always placed others’ lives before his own, only to be backstabbed in return.
In her eyes, so people simply weren’t worth saving at all!
“There are no buts. What if Kami was hard by soone else? After her demise, who’s next!? Do you think we’ll all get away!?” David was getting angry too.
And he was right.
If they really restrained Lu Xiao, and if the culprit ca, they wouldn’t stand a chance of escaping, and they would have wronged an innocent person.
David threw down his clothes and said to them:
“Once Mr. Lu cos up, if you’re still worried, we can take turns keeping an eye on him.”
