Chapter 628 You are also one of the parties involved.

All traces of what happened back then have been completely erased, so Han Musen knew that even if the two suspected something, they wouldn't be able to get any concrete evidence.

He said to Xia Ningxi, "Actually, it's not wrong for you to cry foul. It was indeed Xia Wanwan who wanted you to die, so you pushed her into the sea. You were just trying to protect yourself, so you can't be blamed alone. If Xia Wanwan hadn't harmed you, you wouldn't have laid a hand on her. Strictly speaking, you are indeed innocent."

"I don't believe what you're saying." Xia Ningxi still didn't believe her.

Han Musen said, "You can check it yourself if you don't believe me, but the surveillance footage from back then has been destroyed, so you won't be able to find anything. Am I right? Xia Wanwan is indeed not as good as she seems on the surface, that's a fact."

At this point, Han Musen's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao. He said, "That's all I know. Actually, Li Yancheng knows more about what happened back then. You should know that I didn't really want to kill you back then, otherwise you wouldn't have come back alive. Now, can you let me go?"

Huo Nanxiao ignored him.

Han Musen was seething with anger: "Huo Nanxiao, I've said everything I need to say, why are you still unwilling to release him? What else do you want? If you're so capable, go and pry open Li Yancheng's mouth, he has a lot to say."

"You're the one who's come up to me. If I don't keep an eye on you, who else am I supposed to be watching?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Han Musen was exhausted, so she simply stopped talking and sat to the side, not caring what Huo Nanxiao would do to her.

"Young Master Huo, can we trust what he says?" Lu Qi couldn't help but ask.

Huo Nanxiao said, "No."

"Should we use severe torture?" Lu Qi asked again.

Huo Nanxiao said, "No need, let him go."

"Are we really just going to let him go like this?" Lu Qi was still somewhat unwilling.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Release them."

Lu Qi had no choice but to do as Huo Nanxiao said.

"Where is my sister?" Han Musen demanded.

Huo Nanxiao: "They're still on the island. Go pick them up yourself."

Han Musen glanced around. The surroundings were empty, and he couldn't see anything in the vast sea. Where was he supposed to pick someone up?

"Take me to the shore," Han Musen requested.

"Can't you swim back yourself?" Huo Nanxiao was very dissatisfied.

Han Musen said angrily, "How am I supposed to swim? If you're so capable, why don't you try swimming? I don't care, send me back."

Huo Nanxiao ignored him and turned to enter the boat.

"Where are you going?" Han Musen asked anxiously as he chased after her.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.

Han Musen followed Huo Nanxiao into the cabin and saw him leisurely drinking tea. He knew that this guy was not going to do as he was told. He was quite unhappy: "What good will it do you to tie me up? I have said everything I can say and everything I can't say. Are you just going to keep wandering around at sea like this? If the Han family can't contact me, they will definitely send someone to look for me."

"That would be best," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.

Han Musen said, "You really plan to wait for them to come looking for you? You've already gone to international waters, so even if they wanted to, they wouldn't be able to find you. I don't care, you turn back right now and send me back."

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Han Musen impatiently and sneered, "I said, if you want to leave, swim back yourself."

"I—" He was truly exasperated with Huo Nanxiao. He wanted to retort to this bastard, but he didn't know what to say. Han Musen was genuinely afraid that he might accidentally anger Huo Nanxiao again, and end up getting himself into trouble.

He could only grit his teeth and stay there, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up. Huo Nanxiao had three children at home, and Xia Ningxi was also here. The couple couldn't stay at sea indefinitely without going home. Even if they wanted to do that, they had to consider whether there was anyone to take care of the three children at home.

Thinking of this, Han Musen silently suppressed his dissatisfaction.

He could only wait for the Han family to receive the message and come looking for him.

The wind was strong on the deck, so Xia Ningxi went back to the lounge on the third floor.

When Huo Nanxiao went upstairs, he found Xia Ningxi standing by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.

"It's so dark outside, what can you see?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi didn't turn around, but she knew it was Huo Nanxiao from his voice. She gazed at the scenery outside the window and said, "What do you think about this?"

“What he said has a certain degree of credibility,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath. "Can I see the surveillance footage from when Xia Wanwan had the accident?"

"Are you sure you want to see this?" Huo Nanxiao was reluctant.

"I'm sure!"

At this moment, Xia Ningxi's resolve was unwavering. Only by knowing what happened back then could she clear her name.

They only had a portion of the surveillance footage from the time of the incident, which was also the only part they could see.

Xia Ningxi watched the video again and again. It was clear from the video that she was the one who pushed Xia Wanwan into the sea, and there was no faking it.

"Have you been tested? Is this video real?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." The man responded indifferently. It was precisely because of this video that Huo Nanxiao hated Xia Ningxi so much.

Xia Ningxi examined the video for a long time, looking at it again and again. In fact, she really hoped that what Han Musen said was false. She hoped that someone could prove that she did not push Xia Wanwan into the sea. But after watching the video countless times, she suddenly felt guilty. She really did do such a thing.

Therefore, it's not untrue that everyone says it's all her fault.

But why would she do that?

Is it because Li Yancheng threatened Xia Wanwan to kill her back then, and she didn't want to die, that she pushed Xia Wanwan into the sea?

If that's really the case, then everything makes sense.

For some reason, Xia Ningxi suddenly wanted to be alone. She said to Huo Nanxiao, "I'm tired and want to rest. You can go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

"Don't you remember anything?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I can't remember."

Huo Nanxiao was disappointed. He listened to Xia Ningxi and gave her a quiet space to rest by herself. But when he reached the door, Huo Nanxiao stopped and said, "Only you know what really happened back then. You are one of the parties involved. If you can remember what happened back then, you can clear your name. Think about it again."

After leaving a message, Huo Nanxiao departed.

Xia Ningxi was the only one left in the huge guest room.

She recalled what Han Musen had said, half true and half false, but not entirely without reason. In the video, she had indeed pushed Xia Wanwan into the sea. As for why she did it? Was it really because she was jealous of Xia Wanwan?

Or is it really as Han Musen said, that both of them were threatened and had to sacrifice one of them to save their own lives? That would also make sense.
