My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

Xu Rou, this woman.

It truly and profoundly depicts what it means to have a woman's heart that is as unfathomable as the bottom of the sea.

One second ago, Xu Rou looked pale and frightened, as if she knew nothing and was completely in the position of a victim.

After I directly exposed her, Xu Rou's fear disappeared.

On the contrary, Xu Rou became increasingly calm.

The coldness in her eyes exuded a terrifying calmness.

There was no impulse whatsoever; on the contrary, I saw cunning and dread in her eyes.

I looked at Xiao Ningran and whispered to her.

"Ranran, you can go out now."

Xiao Ningran looked at me with surprise, her face full of worry.

She said, "If I go out and she does something to you, then there will be no one to help you."

I smiled and looked at her as I spoke.

"You don't go far, just stay at the door and keep watch."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ningran did as I instructed.

In my opinion...

Xiao Ningran stayed in the room and couldn't help much.

On the contrary, if an unexpected conflict were to break out between Xu Rou and me in a little while...

If Xiao Ningran isn't in the room, at least I don't have to worry about protecting her safety.

Having her stand guard at the door was also an arrangement I made for safety reasons.

Xiao Ningran walked to Xu Rou's door.

She stood there, craning her neck to look inside, her face full of worry and concern.

"Xu Rou, it's just the two of us in the room now."

"Let's just get straight to the point."

Without being polite, I dragged over a chair and sat down.

Facing the direction of Xu Rou's bed.

At this moment, Xu Rou was wearing underwear, with only two buttons fastened, and her private parts were completely exposed.

Even though Xu Rou had noticed that her clothes were revealing, she didn't try to hide them.

On the contrary, it was as if they were deliberately showing me that they weren't even acting anymore.

Perhaps it's because sitting is uncomfortable.

Xu Rou returned to the head of the bed and placed a pillow under her back.

I saw her pull open the bedside table drawer.

His eyes immediately tensed up.

He stared at her with extreme vigilance.

I was terrified that she would pull out a dark, black "equalizer" from the cabinet, which was actually a pistol.

However, I breathed a slight sigh of relief when I saw what Xu Rou took out.

I was just being paranoid; what she took out was a pack of cigarettes.

I haven't seen the brand before. It's a slim tube, small and delicate in appearance, and looks very nice, which is very appealing to girls.

She must have some kind of exclusive channel to obtain it.

Xu Rou skillfully held the cigarette between her fingers.

A beautiful woman holding a cigarette possesses an indescribable charm at this moment.

I saw Xu Rou gracefully raise her right hand and hand me a cigarette case.

"Do you smoke or not?"

I naturally refused her outright, saying, "I don't smoke."

The reason is also very simple.

Given Xu Rou's cunning and shrewdness, I would never accept anything from her so easily.

What if she put something in this cigarette?

Xu Rou saw that I wasn't smoking.

A mocking smile played on her lips: "Heh, what a coward. Are you afraid I'll poison your cigarette?"

Xu Rou looked at me with a sarcastic expression, as if she was deliberately trying to provoke my pride as a man.

But I didn't fall for it and let her mock me.

Xu Rou gracefully picked up the lighter and skillfully lit the cigarette.

The smell of cigarettes quickly filled the room.

I stared at her and asked coldly, "Xu Rou, you still won't admit it? You poisoned Xiao Jianmu's water!"

Xu Rou held a cigarette between her fingers, her slender, fair hands resting on the edge of the bed.

She smiled faintly: "I admit it! Haven't I always admitted that I was the one who poisoned him?"

Xu Rou's tone of voice had a rather shameless quality.

I said, "Fine, since you admit it, then tell me how you poisoned him?"

Xu Rou's lips curled up in a contemptuous smile.

"I poisoned his water, didn't you just say that?"

"Then he drank it, and this is what happened."

I pressed on, "What kind of poison did you use?"

Xu Rou gave a cold laugh: "Lu Yi, if you're so capable, how come you can't find out what poison I used?"

I think I've figured it out.

Xu Rou seems determined to be a complete scoundrel.

"Xiao Jianmu is about to wake up."

"He should wake up around tomorrow."

"I will tell him about your poisoning as soon as possible tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Xu Rou's expression froze slightly, her eyes clearly showing three parts frost and seven parts anger.

But she quickly regained her composure.

"Oh, so you're tattling?"

"Then go ahead and complain."

I stared at her coldly: "Xu Rou, you're really too confident! Do you think you can rest easy now that your two sons are safely abroad?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Rou's smile grew even brighter.

There was even a sense of confidence that he had the overall situation under control.

She smiled and said, "Yes! Lu Yi, you're right! Judging by the timeline, my two sons, Xiao Tian and Xiao Gui, should have arrived by now. They've gone to the freest beacon country in the world!"

"As a mother, as long as my two sons are safe and sound, I would be willing to go to jail for them!"

"Come on, Lu Yi, let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve to deal with me?"

"Anyway, I only have one life. If I die, I die. As long as my two sons can live, that's enough!"

Xu Rou delivered this impassioned speech.

To be honest, if it weren't for me, someone else might have actually believed it.

Until now.

Xu Rou was unaware that her two children had not traveled abroad by plane!

They were waiting in the living room on the first floor of the Xiao family's house!

Without me, they wouldn't even dare to go up to the third floor!

I looked at Xu Rou and saw how confident she was.

They couldn't help but expose her flawless plan.

I deliberately said, "Xu Rou, don't think I don't know. You've been making grand pronouncements about it being for your two sons, but you've already fabricated evidence that they poisoned you!"

"Even if you are arrested, they can pretend that the evidence was accidentally leaked and that the police accidentally saw it, ultimately making you acquitted, while your two sons will be living abroad without fear of the law."

"Your entire family of three has escaped legal punishment all at once!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! I must say, your scheme is truly flawless! In front of you, I'm just like a primary school student."

Xu Rou listened to what I said.

The corners of her mouth had unconsciously turned up in a smile.

Clearly, I hit a nerve with her.

Xu Rou's confident smile was the best proof of this.

"Lu Yi, let's put it this way."

"You are also the most outstanding among the younger generation I have ever met, but at the same time, you are the smartest, the most shrewd, and the most difficult man to deal with!"

"Do you know? I've wanted to get rid of you countless times, and I even tried to seduce you to gather evidence against you."

"But you, you're as wooden as a block of wood, completely unmoved by temptation. I even suspect that you don't actually like women at all, and that you actually like men?"
