âActually, we didnât...â Ye Shengge couldnât help explaining.
It was reasonable if something had happened, but she and Ji Shiting hadnât done anything yet.
âI understand, sister-in-law.â Qiao Yanze nodded solemnly. âI knew it. This guy doesnât have that ability!â
âThatâs right. I was going to do it again, but you interrupted me,â Ji Shiting said calmly. He glanced at Li Yinian, then at Qiao Yanze. âI know you donât have it easy.â
As a bad friend, Qiao Yanze immediately understood what he meant.
Ye Shengge glared at Ji Shiting.
However, he didnât stop. He took off the kettle from the stove and asked, âTell me, how did you two end up together?â
Qiao Yanze looked amused. âDid you know? Xiao Cheng is dead.â
Li Yinianâs shuddered.
Ji Shiting wasnât surprised. âXiao Ruilang did it.â
âThatâs right.â Qiao Yanze sneered. âWe all know that heâs been upset with Xiao Cheng for a long time, but no one expected him to be so ruthless. Most importantly, when did he start plotting? He wasnât involved in the planning of Xiao Chengâs wedding. So how did Xiao Ruilang do it? It looks like we;ve underestimated him.â
âNot just that.â Ji Shitingâs handsome face was more mysterious under the glow of the fire. âIâm afraid the entire political and business situation in Yang City will be changed because of this. If Iâm not wrong, anyone who doesnât get along with him or anyone who can stop him from taking power, especially the relatives of the Xiao family, will most likely die in this accident.â
Qiao Yanze recalled what had happened before they boarded the yacht and nodded. âHe seemed crazy, but he actually calculated every step clearly. Using this accident, he eliminated his dissidents and won over the rich and powerful. He even wiped himself clean... Huh.â
âWhereâs Shuhang?â Ji Shiting asked.
âHe got on the lifeboat successfully.â Qiao Yanzeâs expression was cold. âHe found me and told me what you said. I found her in the room. She was unconscious on the ground, and Xiao Cheng was already dead. She would have died on the cruise ship and become the culprit behind Xiao Chengâs death if I hadnât brought her out.â
Qiao Yanze gazed at Li Yinian, his expression one of self-mocking.
Li Yinianâs face was pale. She finally said, âI fainted the moment I entered the room.â
âFortunately, Xiao Ruilang canât push the blame to you since you are alive,â Ji Shiting commented objectively. âAfter all, everyone at the wedding can tell that youâre sincere to Xiao Cheng. Other than you, Xiao Ruilang is the next prime suspect. He might not be able to get out unscathed.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs right. Really sincere.â Qiao Yanze smiled. âHow does Ms. Li feel about her newlywed husband dying?â
Li Yinian didnât seem to hear his sarcasm at all. She stared at the fire blankly.
Ye Shengge couldnât help patting her and consoling her.
However, when she put her hand on her back, she realized that she was surprisingly thin, and she seemed to be overwhelmed.
