However, Shen Xi was still unwilling to believe that the person who saved her life in her previous life would want her dead in this life. There must be some misunderstanding. She had to find time to investigate.
Looking at Shen Xiâs expression, Guan Lei knew the answer. Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi and said, âXi, Iâm sorry that Iâve implicated you. Meng Yu wanted to make a move on me, so he used you.â
âMeng Yu?â Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei in confusion and asked, âAre you saying that his name is Meng Yu? You know him?â
From the moment Guan Lei passed by to the moment he fell off the cliff, Guan Lei and Meng Yu had never spoken to each other. Therefore, Guan Lei casually mentioned Meng Yuâs name and even mentioned the grudge between him and Meng Yu. It was obvious that they had known each other before.
Guan Lei felt a little uncomfortable. His eyes flickered twice, and then under Shen Xiâs gaze, he nodded helplessly, âYes, I know him. He has some connections with my family. I had a brother, but he passed away because of an accident.â
Shen Xiâs eyes widened in shock. Her benefactor and Guan Leiâs family were enemies.
Guan Lei was silent for a moment, then said, âMeng Yu is my grandfatherâs illegitimate son, so if he has the intention to fight for the family property, then thereâs a high possibility that this time, he planned to use you to lure me here and kill me openly. He has been following me all these years. He must know how important you are to me.â
At this moment, Shen Xiâs mood was extremely complicated. She had thought that Guan Lei had been accidentally thrown off the cliff by her. She did not expect such a thing to happen.
If Meng Yu killed Guan Lei to seize the family property, then what would she do if her benefactor became Guan Leiâs enemy?
Shen Xiâs thick eyelashes blinked repeatedly as if she had not digested this information, and her mood was extremely unstable.
After a long while, Shen Xi opened her mouth hesitantly: âCould there be some misunderstanding?â
When Shen Xi said this, she did not feel confident. After all, she had only met Meng Yu once in her previous life. She did not know Meng Yu well. It was just that Meng Yu had once saved her, after all, allowing her to take revenge in her previous life. Therefore, Shen Xi still wanted to keep a little hope.
Shen Xiâs words caused Guan Leiâs originally nervous heart to sink. He was already injured to this extent, yet Xi was still speaking up for Meng Yu.
âBut he let go of your hand on purpose. Thatâs an indisputable fact, isnât it? He ignored your life and you still want to speak for him?â Guan Leiâs eyes were slightly red as he said unwillingly.
Shen Xi avoided Guan Leiâs questioning gaze. Her heart was in a mess.
âIâll ask him.â Shen Xi lowered her head and whispered.
âAnd then? If he says he didnât do it, will you choose to believe him?â Guan Lei turned Shen Xiâs face and asked with a sorrowful expression.
Shen Xi didnât answer, but her expression was evasive, unwilling to answer.
Guan Lei only felt a hot liquid suddenly surge up his throat. Even though he couldnât control it, Guan Lei still subconsciously lowered his head quickly to prevent the blood from splattering on Shen Xiâs face.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who had suddenly vomited blood and collapsed softly in front of her. She was instantly at a loss.
At this moment, a drone with a probe light appeared beside Shen Xi.
âXi? Xi! Iâm a father.â Shen Yanâs voice came from the drone. Shen Xi instantly looked at the drone with hope.
âXi, are you okay? Are you hurt?â Lu Shan asked nervously through the drone. âDad, Mom, Iâm fine, but Guan Lei is seriously injured. â Shen Xi shook her nead.
âWait for a while,â Shen Yan said immediately. âIâll send your location to Xue Li and the others. Theyâll be down there soon.â Donât be afraid, itâll be quick.â
Guan Lei held on to his last bit of consciousness and said, âXi, donât leave me, okay? Even if you find Meng Yu, donât leave me, okay?â
At this moment, Shen Xi was almost at a loss. She subconsciously nodded and said, âAlright, I wonât leave. Iâll always be with you. You must be well. I donât want to fall out of love just after I have a boyfriend.â
Guan Lei was slightly amused by Shen Xiâs words. Then, his mind suddenly went blank and he lost consciousness.
Shen Xi held Guan Lei in her arms as tears streamed down her face. Lu Shan, who was at Cliff Mountain, felt very uncomfortable.
She didnât know where Guan Leiâs parents were. If they knew that their son had been hurt like this, they would be so heartbroken.
