"You...you're not that...that young mistress of the Mu family in Philadelphia? Why are you sighing? Do you also think Xiao Jinyan is a beast in human form, and you wish everyone could kill him?" someone asked indignantly.

Upon hearing this, Yi picked up a piece of pastry and ate it, then took a sip of her drink, let out a satisfied burp, and looked at everyone with a suspicious expression.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? By the way, is the play over? Shouldn't it be time to leave?"

"Young Madam Mu, you mean... you mean who's putting on an act? Oh right, are you saying Xiao Jinyan has been putting on an act all along? Yes, Xiao Jinyan has always presented himself as upright and selfless, but behind the scenes he's done such despicable things. What else could this be but acting? He acted so well, he fooled us all!"

"No, no, no." Yi Yi finally put down her chopsticks, pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth, then stood up, pointed at the person who had pointed at Xiao Jinyan, and said, "What I mean is... he's acting."

he?

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, thinking it was utter nonsense.

“Young Madam Mu, even if you refuse to stand up and condemn the real culprit, and do not speak up for the victim, you don’t have to put the blame on an innocent victim like this.”

"Exactly! Look at him! Xiao Jinyan has ruined him! He finally mustered the courage to tell the truth, and now he's being slandered like this. It's just too much!"

"Hmph, I think this young mistress of the Mu family has only herself to blame for ending up like this. She doesn't deserve any sympathy! If it weren't for the sake of the Mu family in Philadelphia, we would have kicked you out long ago!"

"..."

Yi Yi wasn't surprised by this outcome at all. After all, the whole thing was done too realistically. If she weren't involved, she probably would have been led by the nose just like these people.

Ignoring the murmurs of the crowd, Yi walked straight up to the man, looked at him calmly, and spoke.

"Who do you think caused you to end up like this?"

"Of course it is, it's him, Xiao Jinyan! Even if he were reduced to ashes, I would still recognize his face!" The man was very agitated.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yi calmly continued, "You recognize his face, so you've seen him before? Have you seen him in person, or a photograph?"

"Of course I've seen him! He came to our village and forcibly injected us with those harmful drugs. Every time, it was like a nightmare; I remember it all so clearly!"

"Since you remember so clearly, why don't you tell me when he last visited your village? Who did he bring with him? What kind of clothes was he wearing? Was it a sunny or rainy day?"

"He...he..." The man unconsciously swallowed. This is the most habitual action for ordinary people when they are nervous.

"Speak up, don't be afraid, say everything, and convince her!"

"Hurry up and tell us, we're all waiting. Didn't you say you remember everything clearly? Then tell us, and the truth will come out!"

The chatter among the crowd made the man even more nervous. His forehead was covered in a thick layer of sweat, and his eyes kept glancing, intentionally or unintentionally, in Xiao Shenxing's direction.

And Yi Yi just happened to capture this point.
