The Big Devil vs. the Dark Villain

"Have you forgotten? The old man still has a granddaughter whom he loves the most. It is impossible for him to agree to give all her money to Li Quan."

Hearing this, Shen Tao suddenly had an idea and had some guesses, but without evidence it was impossible to judge the case, so he tried to persuade the other party.

"You killed that person, didn't you?

The old woman doesn’t have a favorite granddaughter at all. She is the one who favors boys over girls in her family.

There is no way I would turn against my son and daughter-in-law just for my granddaughter."

“You’re farting.

If she really favored boys over girls, she wouldn't have sent me to school, nor would she have told me to pass the exams and get out of the mountains. Even my brother didn't receive this treatment."

Li Xiaowen struggled to ask back, sneering at his slander.

Her intense reaction made Shen Tao more certain of his guess, and he continued to ask with increasing intensity.

"You're overthinking it. She asked you to study more because you have good grades.

And she heard from somewhere that girls who read more can ask for more gifts when they get married, so she made up her mind to send you to school."

"Stop slandering people with empty words.

My grandmother was the kindest and most compassionate person to me, and she had nothing to do with the cold-blooded person you mentioned."

He had expected Li Xiaowen's rebuttal. He raised his eyebrows and pressed forward.

"You must have heard some rumors when you came back this time, right? Or maybe you've already noticed them.

She does go along with you in small matters, but when it comes to interests, you are always the one who is abandoned."

"That's just your conjecture. It has no logic or factual basis."

Li Xiaowen turned his head and looked at him coldly, his expression surprisingly calm.

Shen Tao frowned and found that the other party had calmed down. He had lost the best opportunity to ask questions, so he did not follow up on the question.

"Tell me, where did you take those guys?"

"Didn't I tell you? He's dead."

"There should be a body even if someone dies, right? Where is the body?" Shen Tao pressed her arm hard.

Li Xiaowen frowned slightly in pain, smiled contemptuously, and stiffened his neck, looking like he refused to cooperate.

"Once dead, they naturally become fertilizer for the flowers. There is no corpse left.

Why don't you find someone to look for them one by one, maybe you can find a complete body for them!"

"You are so stubborn." Shen Tao frowned even more tightly, and there was a hint of worry on his righteous face.

Cen Zijin had been observing Li Xiaowen. The more he looked, the more confused he became. He looked at her with a face full of worry and distress.

"Xiao Jing, what happened after I left? You used to be such a lively and cheerful child. How did you become like this now?"

"Xiao Jing? Master Nan, open your eyes and look carefully. I am Xiao Wen.

I am really impressed by you hypocritical and phony young masters. You can't even recognize a person, but you come to me to show off your sense of superiority and saintliness.

Don't you know that I am like this now? It's all because of your betrayal!"

When Li Xiaowen heard his voice, he immediately became sarcastic and sneered viciously.

Cen Zijin was also a stubborn person and didn't care about her reaction at all.

After all, he has always been inexplicably hated and misunderstood by others since he was a child, and he has become accustomed to it.

Instead, he continued to ask gently, "In our Twin Village, there are many twins. I have never mistaken anyone for a person over the years. You are Xiaojing.

There is a scar on your index finger, which was left by accidentally cutting your hand when you went to the mountains to cut grass for pigs. When you get nervous, you will subconsciously grope for that index finger.

Xiaowen is much quieter, and does things slowly but very carefully. He has a small mole behind his ear, and his eyes wander when he's nervous.

You misunderstood me, I won't argue with you, can you tell me what happened?"

When Li Xiaojing heard that her disguise was discovered, she froze in place for a moment. Her head seemed to have rusted and she slowly turned to look at her.

Without saying anything, just staring blankly, I show through my actions what you want to know from me about dreams.

Even though Shen Tao pressed down again, she didn't say a word no matter how much pain she felt.

The progress fell into a stalemate again. The only clue was related to the major events in Xiaohe Village in recent years and the leak of information about Ying Wulan.

Nan Zhiyi sat on a tree branch, swinging her feet out of boredom, and asked the person next to her.

After all, these people are the laborers that you brought here, and if something happens, you may be in trouble, so you still need to care about them.

"Si Ye, you've been chasing me all the way here, have you found anyone else?"

“No, the wiring inside is complicated, like a maze.

After you were caught and left, I followed the clues you left behind and almost got lost. I didn’t see anyone else.”

Ling Siye shook his head and looked at the three people who were staring blankly not far away.

Idiot, don’t you know to take him back for interrogation first?

Suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing beside him, and Nan Zhiyi had already jumped down steadily from a branch four or five meters high.

He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat and he hurried to catch up.

"It doesn't matter if you don't cooperate and waste your time. After all, they are not people you care about."

Nan Zhiyi smiled wickedly, his finger running across the picture on Nanhe's stone tablet, then walked to the position of the Hidden Mist Lotus next to it and fiddled with the pistil.

When Li Xiaojing saw him coming, she first glanced at him with disdain, then watched his movements, and held her breath unconsciously due to nervousness.

His thumb kept groping for his index finger and his eyes followed his movements. He was unwilling to give up even if he couldn't turn around and his skull started cracking.

Shen Tao was very considerate and helped her change direction so that she could clearly see the other person's movements.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Li Xiaowen's throat rolled and a hoarse voice came out.

"Nothing, I'm just bored and have nothing to do, so I want to do a good deed and weed this cemetery."

Nan Zhiyi said this, blinking her eyes mischievously and hinting at Ling Siye. At the same time, she grabbed a petal of the different color and exerted a little force, trying to pull it off and hit her.

The petals trembled under the force, as if they would be pulled off at any time.

"Yeah, I'm bored too. Let's do it together. This place isn't that big. We can finish it in half a day."

Li Xiaojing was more nervous than expected and immediately spoke out to stop him.

“I said, I said, those people are imprisoned in the cave we came from, you can find them by following the path to the end.

I can’t say anything else because I’m not sure about it.”

After saying that, Li Xiaojing closed her eyes and gasped in pain. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, as if she had suffered a serious injury.

Others didn't know what her current condition was, so they didn't dare to continue asking questions, for fear that she would die and they wouldn't be able to get any information from her.

"Boss Nan, you are injured. Come with me and escort Li Xiaojing to Xiaohe Village to rest first, right?

Ling Siye would like to trouble you and Brother Shen to go to the cave to rescue the others."
