Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Gu Tu didn't want to dwell on this topic any more, so he asked again, "Who hurt Lan Yi?"

Hua Chaochao did not answer but asked: "Don't you already have someone you suspect?"

"Yes." Gu Tu's eyes became sharp, and he gritted his teeth and said word by word, "The Li family and the Chen family."

At this time, a crisp snap of fingers sounded, "Oh right, the person who hurt Chen Lanyi was an elder of the Li family."

Although he had some doubts before, Gu Tu still found it unbelievable when he heard the answer with his own ears.

Gu Tu staggered back two steps and asked in disbelief, "Why? Why did the Li family want to kill Lan Yi..."

"Because she discovered the Li family's secret." Hua Chaochao answered kindly and slowly.

“At that time, Li Qingchi originally planned to get rid of her directly, but Shen Lingtan disagreed. Li Qingchi compromised on the surface and just drove her out of Xuanzhou, but in fact he secretly sent elders to follow her and kill her after she left the continent.”

"Absolutely impossible!" Gu Tu's first reaction after hearing this was that Hua Chaochao was talking nonsense. He shouted excitedly, "Li Qingchi loves Lan Yi so much, how could he kill her?"

In Gu Tu's opinion, Li Qingchi treated Shen Lanyi like his own daughter.

In the past, when the three of them got into trouble, Li Qingchi would only talk about him and Li Cenyuan, and would comfort Chen Lanyi in a soft voice, unwilling to blame her at all.

Hua Chaochao disagreed: "Yes, she favors me, but that favor is based on the fact that she will marry Li Cenyuan in the future and add strength to the Li family."

"But what if I can't get married?"

"I think you already know that Li Cenyuan broke up with the Li family for a woman. So after this happened, can Shen Lanyi still marry into the Li family and marry Li Cenyuan? No, so for Li Qingchi, Shen Lanyi is no longer valuable, so just kill her."

Every word Hua Chaochao said was like a heavy blow to Gu Tu. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Hua Chaochao was right.

Li Qingchi looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact he is a person who puts profit above all else.

Gu Tu clenched his hands and asked in a hoarse voice, "What is it, Lan Yi...what secret of the Li family did you discover?"

He couldn't figure out what secret made Li Qingchi disregard their years of friendship and kill Chen Lanyi.

"A secret is a..." Hua Chaochao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, "a very interesting thing."

"You don't need to know the specifics. You just need to know who hurt Shen Lanyi. It's not good for you to know too much."

Gu Tu did not ask any further questions. Indeed, for him, knowing the identity of his enemies was enough. No matter what the reason was, he would make them pay the price they deserved.

"You tell me all this because you don't want me to die?" Gu Tu asked, staring at the 'man' in front of him.

“You were the one who rescued me in the forest that time, and you were the one who reminded me to run after I accidentally killed Mrs. Shen. You don’t want me to die because my life is useful to you, right?”

He is not a fool, he doesn't even realize this.

"You are very self-aware." Hua Chaochao admitted frankly, "So, before I allow you to die, you'd better stay alive."

Gu Tu suddenly laughed, and his laughter was full of self-mockery.

He was laughing at his own tragic fate. In the end, everyone was hoping he would die, but there was only one person who cared about his life or death, and that person was just a stranger.

After self-deprecation, Gu Tu's eyes became unusually firm, "I will live."

He had to keep his life before he avenged Shen Lanyi.

Hua Chaochao nodded, very satisfied with Gu Tu's answer.

Then she looked in the direction of Hua's house, without any emotion in her eyes, "Let's go, it's time to meet the one behind you."
