Xia Chujian nodded and said calmly, "Yes, Chief Quan, he is my attorney."

"Either you hand over the names of those people today. Or, wait for my lawyer's letter and I will directly label you as Rong Shenzhi's primary accomplice."

Qiu Shenxing stared at her for a long moment and said, "Are you really not afraid of us?"

Xia Chujian said, "Why should I be afraid? Yes, you nobles have criminal immunity compared to commoners."

"But that's only for capital crimes."

"Do you know there's a saying, 'You can escape death, but you can't escape punishment for a crime that's not worth living?'"

"There's also a saying that life is worse than death."

Qiu Shenxing was amused by Xia Chujian's words: "...Are you really threatening me?"

Xia Chujian said: "No, I'm not threatening you, I'm just discussing the matter at hand."

"You just admitted that you knew about Rong Shenzhi's plan, and Rong Shenzhi used your identity, and you told me that you had nothing to do with this matter?"

"Believe it or not, I can still sue you. Even if I can't sentence you to death, I can still make you lose face in your family."

She also knew that what these noble children cared about most was the right of inheritance.

Especially the right of inheritance of the title.

This Qiu Shenxing, after knowing that Rong Shenzhi had borrowed the real identity of a member of the Qiu family, she investigated him.

In the Qiu family, Qiu Shenxing is indeed one of the most prominent heirs to the title.

Because Qiu Shenxing's father is the first heir to the title of nobility in the Qiu family.

But his father has brothers and sisters, and he himself has brothers and sisters.

In this way, internal competition can become a life-and-death struggle.

Xia Chujian was just hinting that the law couldn't punish you, but your family didn't care whether you were convicted by the law or not...

Qiu Shenxing looked at Xia Chujian steadily, then suddenly turned and smiled at Zong Ruoning, saying, "As expected of you, the top scorer in the Imperial College Entrance Examination, and indeed the winner of the duel!"

"Many men can't match this courage and spirit..."

Zong Ruoning stood by silently.

Only now did he say: "Xia is my student, and her attitude is also my attitude."

Zong Ruoning's statement was even more shocking than his previous statement that Quan Yuxun was Xia Chujian's attorney.

Qiu Shenxing stared at Zong Ruoning with wide eyes, as if trying to find some different clues from his face.

But Zong Ruoning stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him calmly without any retreat or fear.

Qiu Shenxing looked at Xia Chujian again, then at Zong Ruoning, and finally smiled and shook his head, saying, "I finally understand why Rong Shenzhi hit a wall..."

"With you two protecting her, who can touch her?"

"This is Rong Shenzhi overestimating his own abilities."

Then he simply pulled out a virtual display screen and showed a list on it.

Behind each list is a brief introduction of that person's identity.

He said to Xia Chujian, "These are the people who conspired with Rong Shenzhi this time."

"When I found out, I was already abroad."

"I was very unhappy that Rong Shenzhi was acting in my capacity, but at that time, he had already begun teaching you at the Imperial First Military University."

"Besides, I really don't know his true purpose."

Qiu Shenxing smiled bitterly: "I don't care whether you believe it or not, I just want you to think about it. I have a family background, status, ability and a future. Why would I lend my clean identity to him to do such a crime?"

"What good is it to me?"

When Qiu Shenxing said this, Xia Chujian actually believed it.

Indeed, Qiu Shenxing's actions did not benefit him at all.

However, Xia Chujian also knew that this matter might not be good for Qiu Shenxing, but it would definitely be good for the Qiu family...

But Xia Chujian hasn’t figured out what the benefits are yet.

However, not figuring it out doesn't mean she will do nothing.

Xia Chujian looked at Qiu Shenxing with a look of disapproval and said, "It may not be good for you... but it won't be bad for some people in your Qiu family, right?"

"Are you so kind that you'd let others use you as a favor to gain benefits?"

This sentence is a blatant attempt to sow discord.

However, it touched Qiu Shenxing's heart.

Ever since he learned about this, he has been holding back the anger in his heart.

He couldn't tell his family that he didn't want to, nor could he act humble in front of this common girl.

It wasn't his fault, but in the end all the pressure was on him!

Even if the little girl refuses to give in, he may have to bear all the consequences!

Qiu Shenxing was determined to inherit the Qiu family. How could he let this incident ruin his bright future?

His nonchalant look was just an act of forced composure.

Xia Chujian added fuel to the fire and said, "Maybe your family is killing two birds with one stone..."

"It can not only get rid of Rong Shenzhi, that troublesome person, but also dethrone you, the most promising second-generation heir."

"Tsk tsk, you nobles have so many ideas and tricks that they could circle the Beichen Galaxy several times."

Qiu Shenxing closed his eyes and finally said, "Xia, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

"Don't worry."

Then he left without looking back.

After he left, Xia Chujian looked at Zong Ruoning with a smile.

Among all the people who knew Xia Chujian but were not familiar with her, Zong Ruoning was the most surprised one.

Because he not only watched the animated picture, but also watched the real duel video stored in the school surveillance.

That angle, that clarity, and that completeness are all incomparable to that animated picture.
