She is a real daughter. She relies on eavesdropping on people's thoughts and killing people ran

Xuan Ye suddenly stopped talking, his eyes moving back and forth over Cao Chengyue, as if he could see through the fear and anxiety deep in his heart.

This silence made time seem especially long, and everyone felt the heavy pressure.

Cao Chengyue looked at Xuan Ye nervously: "Then, then what?"

Xuan Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Then Sun Qianji can use Li Shi's death to bring you closer to him."

"Li Shi died very suddenly. You and Li Shi were the only two people in the room at that time."

"Li Shigang died, and the waiter just came in with the dishes, right?"

Cao Chengyue looked at Xuan Ye with a horrified expression on his face: "How did you know that?"

Xuan Ye sneered: "That's an easy guess."

"But you were in shock at the time, so naturally you wouldn't care about these details."

"Besides, you have no defenses against Li Shi at all, and it is even more impossible for you to think that he wants to frame you."

"When the waiter saw Li Shi vomiting blood, did he immediately shout, 'Murder, murder,'"

Cao Chengyue nodded: "He came in with the dishes, took one look at Li Shi and started shouting, dropping the dishes in his hands on the ground."

"People soon gathered around us. There were only me and Li Shi in the room. There was no third person present."

"There were so many eyes staring at me at the door, I couldn't say anything."

"Everyone said that I killed Li Shi and that I took human life lightly."

At that time, Cao Chengyue's face was as pale as paper, and his trembling hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to grasp a clue of salvation from the air.

He wanted someone to testify for him, but unfortunately, there were only him and Li Shi in the closed room.

There probably won't be any certification.

Xuan Ye interrupted Li Shi and asked, "Did Sun Qianji stand up and speak for you at this time?"

Li Shi: "Well, he walked out of the crowd and helped me out, and then the crowd dispersed."

"If Sun Qianji hadn't shown up, I would have been finished that night."

"Later, he helped me bring Li Shi's body back to the Li Mansion. No one in the Li family suspected me."

Thinking about it now, I felt as if they had already anticipated this outcome.

Cao Chengyue's pupils suddenly shrank, like a lake attacked by frost, with turbulent waves but frozen into ice.

Waves of fear surged in his heart, and at that moment he clearly felt that all this was done to lure him into the game.

A chill ran up his spine.

Cao Chengyue looked at Xuan Ye in confusion. He was still a little confused: "Why did Sun Qianji choose me? What use am I to him?"

"Since Li Shi's death was to lure me into the game, what was the ultimate purpose of luring me into the game?"

Xuan Ye: "Transferring property."

"Didn't I just tell you? The more assets Sun Qianji has offline, the richer he will be."

"We have already targeted Li Shi. If Sun Qianji does not take action, all of Li Shi's properties will be confiscated."

“Sun Qianji is reluctant to do so.”

"Li Shi will die sooner or later, so it's better to let him die in his hands. In this way, Li Shi's property can be transferred to you, and the money will be safe for the time being."

"Sun Qianji helped you out of Li Shi's death, so Sun Qianji became the person you trusted the most."

"He was very good to you, and gave you a huge sum of money, didn't he?"

"Say, as long as you are loyal to him, you will get all of these."

Cao Chengyue: "Yes." The next second Cao Chengyue reacted, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Could it be that the money Sun Qianji gave me actually belonged to Li Shi?"

Xuan Ye: "Yes." He sighed softly: "You are smart for once. For someone as stupid as you, Sun Qianji fell in love with you. He was really driven to desperation."

Shen Yelin: "The person you have been helping is actually a complete pest."

"With Sun Qianji's power, if he wants to hide your wife and son, can he not hide them?"

"But why did we find it anyway?"

"Sun Qianji wants to use me to kill you."

"You are so foolish to come and cover up Sun Qianji's crimes, and believe that he will help you protect your wife and children."

Xuan Ye: "To tell you the truth, the clues to your wife and children were deliberately left by Sun Qianji, so we were able to find them so quickly this time."

Xuan Ye's words were like cold water poured over his head, instantly sobering Cao Chengyue up a lot.

Cao Chengyue stayed there, feeling mixed emotions. The face of Sun Qian, who always had a warm smile on her face, appeared in his mind.

But his eyes were deep, as if hiding endless secrets.

Xuan Ye leaned forward slightly, his eyes flashing with sharpness, like a cheetah staring at its prey.

Cao Chengyue was still quite alert: "I can't just listen to your one-sided words."

"Who wouldn't make up something like that?"

Shen Yelin knew Cao Chengyue would say this, so he said slowly and softly, "Everything in the world has its own traces."

"That waiter was just a move arranged by Sun Qianji."

"He showed up at the right time and interrupted your thoughts, preventing you from thinking carefully about the cause of Li Shi's death."

"And you, in your panic and sadness, will naturally be led by Sun Qianji and step into the trap he set."

"It's normal for you not to believe what we say, but you can't not believe what your wife and children say."

Xuan Ye dragged Gong Yue'er in front of Cao Chengyue and said, "Madam, please tell Magistrate Cao the whole truth, otherwise..."

Xuan Ye's eyes fell on Gong Yue'er's finger, which only had half a nail left. Gong Yue'er couldn't help but shudder: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying."

"I'll tell him the truth."

Then Gong Yueer looked at Cao Chengyue: "Husband, what they said is true."

"We didn't know who leaked our escape route, so we chose another route."

"But before we got halfway there, we were discovered by the Seventh Young Master's men."

“And then we got here.”

Cao Chengyue looked at Gong Yueer nervously: "Are you telling the truth?"

"You weren't coerced by them?"

Gong Yueer nodded: "What I said is true. I was also wondering who would leak our escape route."

"It was obviously only the three of us who were discussing this, and no one else was there."

"Me, you, and Sun Qianji. I also doubted Sun Qianji at the time, but when I thought about how good he was to us, I gave up the idea."

"But now after listening to what the Seventh Young Master and the others said, my husband, you may have fallen into Sun Qianji's trap from the very beginning."

"He just wants you to keep the money temporarily, and then transfer the money to the right person."

"When the time comes, you will be no longer needed and can be discarded."

Cold sweat broke out on Cao Chengyue's forehead. He seemed to see Sun Qianji's sinister smile gradually becoming clearer in the darkness, and he himself was walking towards the abyss step by step.

The night is like thick ink, dyeing the earth black.

The moonlight shone through the sparse clouds, sprinkling mottled light on Cao Chengyue's body, adding a bit of pallor to his pale face.

His eyes were closed and his brows were furrowed, as if he was suffering from unspeakable pain from being backstabbed.

Suddenly Cao Chengyue shouted, "Damn you Sun Qianji! I'm going to kill you! You actually used me like this! And you killed my brother!"

On the rough wooden stake, the ropes were tightly wrapped around his body, binding him tightly.

His wrists had been rubbed red, and the blood vessels under the skin were clearly visible, as if protesting against the ruthless restraint.

However, no matter how he struggled, the rope was as strong as an iron chain, preventing him from breaking free.

The air around them seemed to freeze, and only the man's breathing became more rapid in the silent night.

Every breath seems to be a struggle against fate, full of helplessness and despair.

Cao Chengyue's breathing gradually became rapid.

The rope seemed to be infused with magic, tightly wrapped around his wrists, and every inch of his skin felt its rough texture.

He twisted his arms hard, trying to find a chance to loosen them, but the rope was as strong as an iron chain, mercilessly binding his freedom.

Sweat was dripping from his forehead, forming a stark contrast to the cold night breeze.

Every struggle was accompanied by the rustling sound of the rope rubbing against his skin. That sound was like a mocking sneer, constantly reminding him that he was being deceived.

He looked up at Xuan Ye, his eyes filled with reluctance and helplessness.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, bringing the rustling sound of distant woods, as if nature was whispering.

Shen Ye Lin looked out the window. The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if foreshadowing an impending storm.

"This celestial phenomenon...it seems that Lingxuan Country will be in turmoil again recently."

Xuan Ye: "No matter how Sun Qianji behaves, there will always be a day when he will fall into our hands. When that happens, we will let him have a taste of what this kind of torture feels like."

Shen Yelin looked at Cao Chengyue and said, "Don't struggle anymore. You can't do any substantial harm to Sun Qianji with your strength."

"I can choose not to kill you, but I need to know the information I want to know."

"If you cannot tell the truth, the current torture will still be carried out on your wife."

"My patience is limited. I'll give you three counts."

As soon as Shen Yelin finished speaking, Cao Chengyue hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

"It was Sun Qianji who used me first. Now that I know the truth, I will definitely not continue to help the evildoer."

Xuan Ye: "We have a lot of information in our hands. If you lie, we will know it immediately."

Cao Chengyue: "Please rest assured, my two lords, every word I said is true, there is absolutely no way I could lie."

Shen Yelin: "Let me ask you, to whom did you transfer your money?"

"Did Sun Qianji tell you?"

Cao Chengyue: "The day before the accident, Sun Qianji came to me and told me about this."

"He asked me to transport all my money to East City and hand it over to a man who tapped me on the shoulder on the street in East City."

Shen Yelin: "Who is that person? Did you see his appearance clearly?"

Cao Chengyue shook his head: "No, he was wearing all black and had his face covered, so I didn't know what he looked like."

"But judging by his body shape, he should be a man, a little taller than me."

"He has a burly figure and is obviously a martial artist."

Xuan Ye: "In other words, he patted your shoulder and you handed the rope of the carriage to him?"

Cao Chengyue: "Well, I didn't look back. I walked around East City for a while and then went back."

Shen Yelin: “………………”

Xuan Ye slammed the table hard: "It's like this again! Sun Qianji is really a dog!"

Shen Yelin: "Don't worry."

"The situation in East City is different from the previous ones. There are many people in East City, so someone will know the whereabouts of that team of carriages."

"If no one in East City saw it, then it can only mean that the person in charge of East City is Sun Qianji's subordinate."

“It’s more convenient to check this way.”

Xuan Ye: "But he chose to walk on the street so brazenly this time, could it be a trick?"

Shen Yelin: "There must be something wrong when things are out of the ordinary. It seems like Sun Qianji did this on purpose."

Xuan Ye: "What about us?"

Shen Yelin: "It's okay, just play with him and see what tricks he can come up with."

Xuan Ye looked at Cao Chengyue: "How do you and Sun Qianji usually communicate?"

Cao Chengyue: "Sometimes Sun Qianji comes to my house, and sometimes we keep in touch through letters."

"But his letters are special. They will be automatically burned after reading."

"So I don't have any letters he wrote."

Xuan Ye: "Tsk...his situation is the same as the previous person."

"There is no evidence at all."

Shen Yelin: "We have destroyed a lot of his subordinates now. I don't believe he is not panicking."

"Once a person's heart is in a state of panic, it is easy for him to leave clues."

Then Shen Yelin looked at Cao Chengyue: "Okay, I don't have any more questions to ask."

Cao Chengyue: "Then, what about me now?"

Shen Yelin looked at Xuan Ye: "Find a safe place for them to stay and send someone to guard them."

Xuan Ye pointed at Cao Chengyue and said, "Don't kill him?"

Shen Yelin: "Don't kill."

Although Xuan Ye had doubts in his mind, since Shen Ye Lin said not to kill, then he didn't kill.

The Seventh Young Master must have his reasons for doing this.

Although he felt that Cao Chengyue's words could not be fully trusted.

------

The night was as dark as ink, and the sky of Lingxuan Kingdom was covered by a layer of strange red clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

The glazed tiles of the Imperial Master's Mansion gleamed faintly in the moonlight, forming a sharp contrast with the red clouds on the horizon.

Sun Qianji stood on the high city wall, staring into the distance with a sharp gaze.

His figure seemed even taller in the night, and an indescribable majesty emanated from him.

His hands tightly grasped the bricks of the city wall, as if he wanted to crush the uneasy feeling together.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew by, lifting a corner of his robe and also bringing up the indescribable anger in his heart.

He took a deep breath, as if to suck all the gloom in the sky into his lungs, and then exhaled forcefully, turning it into a low roar: "Shen Yelin, this time...if you dare to go to East City, I will make sure you never come back!"
