Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

After hearing what Cao Yunlai said, the cousin no longer had any doubts. She waved her hand and said, "Tell me what you want to ask me."

Seeing this, Cao Yunlai returned to the seat opposite his cousin, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Cousin, have you heard about what happened at the Li family last night?"

"I heard about it, what?"

The commotion last night was so loud that Li Qingchi couldn't suppress it even if he wanted to. Now it has almost spread throughout the entire Xuanzhou.

"Then do you know the reason why Gu Tu assassinated the leader of the Li tribe?" Cao Yunlai asked immediately.

Upon hearing this, the cousin could not help but frowned, as if she did not quite understand why her nephew suddenly asked her such a question, but she still answered very seriously:

"I haven't heard of this, but in my opinion, Li Qingchi must have done something shameful again, which is why he provoked the killing god Gu Tu."

When Cao Yunlai heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he was secretly happy in his heart: My cousin really knows something!

In comparison, Gu Tu next to him seemed very calm, and did not react at all when someone called him "God of Death" to his face.

Cao Yunlai immediately took advantage of the situation and continued to ask, "Cousin, you said Li Qingchi did something shameful, what was it?"

"Are you curious?" The cousin's expression suddenly became playful, and she looked at Cao Yunlai with a smile.

Cao Yunlai nodded eagerly: "Cousin, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."

Seeing his expression, the cousin put away her playful expression, returned to her serious state, sighed softly and said, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I don't know the details. I only know that Ren Hui always came home with a bloody smell. I asked him what happened, but he didn't say anything. But what good can come from being covered in blood?"

"I divorced him because of this incident. I felt that he had changed since he became the elder of the Li family. He became mysterious and I couldn't stand it, so I filed for a divorce."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cao Yunlai and Gu Tu on the opposite side looked at their cousin with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

It is not something that most women can do to decisively leave their husband after discovering that something is wrong with him.

My cousin noticed their gazes. She also thought she was very cool, so she calmly accepted the admiring gazes from Cao Yunlai and Gu Tu.

"But speaking of which, why are you suddenly interested in the Li family?"

Cao Yunlai glanced at Gu Tu, then said to his cousin, "Cousin, to be honest, I know why Gu Tu assassinated Li Qingchi."

"Oh, what is it?"

Obviously, my cousin's curiosity was also aroused, and she tilted her ears, waiting for Cao Yunlai's next words.

“It is said that twenty-one years ago, Li Qingchi sent Elder Ren Hui to kill Shen Lanyi, and Gu Tu assassinated Li Qingchi just to avenge Shen Lanyi.”

When my cousin heard this, she didn't show any surprise. Instead, she looked serious, as if she had known about this for a long time.

"Who told you that it was Ren Hui who killed Shen Lanyi?" The cousin asked, staring at Cao Yunlai.

Cao Yunlai was a little scared by his cousin's gaze, "Is it difficult... isn't it?"

"Of course not!" My cousin slapped the table and said firmly, "Although Ren Hui is not a good person, he really didn't do this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tu, who had been sitting quietly, could no longer sit still. Cao Yunlai was quick to reach out and hold him down, while saying to his cousin, "But that was what Gu Tu said himself. He couldn't have said it nonsense, could he?"

The cousin cast a meaningful look at Gu Tu and said slowly, "I don't know whether Gu Tu is talking nonsense or not, but you have indeed misunderstood Ren Hui in this matter."

"Twenty-one years ago, Ren Hui did go out for a while. During that time, I was suspicious of him, so I secretly followed him. As a result, I followed him to the outside of the continent and saw him and Shen Lanyi together. I don't know what the two said, but it shouldn't be anything good. Anyway, I saw that their expressions were not very good."

While recalling the scene at that time, the cousin said solemnly, "However, Ren Hui definitely did not kill Chen Lanyi. I am sure of this. The two of them separated after chatting at that time."

"Impossible... Impossible..." Gu Tu muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief. He could not accept the fact that his cousin said, "It was Ren Hui. He was the one who injured Lan Yi. It was him..."

The cousin looked at Gu Tu, "I saw it with my own eyes. Ren Hui didn't touch a hair of Shen Lanyi at all. Have you been misled by someone?"

Cao Yunlai was just about to comfort Gu Tu, but when he heard what his cousin said, he couldn't help but asked in shock: "Do you know who he is?"

The cousin rolled her eyes at Cao Yunlai speechlessly, "I am old, not stupid. Who else could have been so excited to hear about Shen Lanyi except Gu Tu himself?"

Cao Yunlai smiled awkwardly and tried to explain: "We didn't hide it from you on purpose..."

"Okay, no need to explain, I know." The cousin interrupted, "His identity is indeed sensitive, and it is right not to say anything."

Gu Tu was still immersed in his own thoughts, and kept repeating: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong..."

In his heart, he had always believed that it was Ren Hui who injured Shen Lanyi, but now suddenly it was said that it was not Ren Hui. Gu Tu could not accept it for a while.

The cousin looked at Gu Tu with a hint of pity in her eyes, but she also knew that he would not be able to listen to any words of comfort she said at this moment, so she just said, "Think about it carefully, this is all I can say."

After my cousin finished speaking, she prepared to get up and leave, thinking of leaving them some space to think alone.

Seeing this, Cao Yunlai quickly stood up and said, "Aunt, I'll take you there."

My cousin waved her hand and said, "No, you stay with your friend and try to persuade him."

Cao Yunlai hesitated for a moment, but nodded and sat back.

The cousin turned and left. Cao Yunlai watched her disappear from his sight. He turned back to look at Gu Tu, who was still in a trance, and said softly, "Brother Tu..."

Gu Tu clenched his fists, his body shaking with excitement, "They lied to me..."

This "they" naturally refers to Hua Chaochao and Fu Lan. It was they who told Gu Tu that the person who hurt Shen Lanyi was Ren Hui.

Suddenly, Gu Tu stood up as if he had made up his mind, his eyes red, "I'm going to find them and ask them clearly!"

Cao Yunlai quickly reached out to hold him back, and said anxiously, "Brother Tu, don't be impulsive. Since they dare to lie to you, I think they are not afraid of you questioning them. Maybe they have already prepared a response. Let's take advantage of their tricks and think of ways to expose them."

Cao Yunlai was also very angry. They actually took advantage of Tu Ge's naivety and deceived him. Fortunately, he was more careful and asked his cousin, otherwise he would have been led by the nose by those two.

After listening to Cao Yunlai's words, Gu Tu felt that it made sense. The two men were like cunning foxes and he would definitely not be able to defeat them.

Thinking of this, Gu Tu gradually calmed down, but still said unwillingly: "I have been played like a monkey by them for so long!"

Cao Yunlai gently patted Gu Tu's shoulder and comforted him, "Brother Tu, don't get angry and make yourself sick. It's not too late for us to know the truth now. We still have a chance to get revenge."

Those who dare to bully his brother Tu will never be allowed to have an easy time!
