Observing celestial phenomena, she was struck by lightning.
Perhaps there is no one more unlucky than Jiang Ran, a grandmaster of the mysterious gates.
Just after traveling through time...
Chapter 194 The Argument Continues
Si Yanxiao's eyes turned slightly cold, but he made no attempt to hide it, and replied directly, "I now seriously suspect that he may have been maliciously targeted, because what he did involves something..."
Si Yanxiao's words were veiled, and Jiang Ran sensed the hidden meaning in them. Her eyes narrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.
"Just say what you have to say!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao stubbed out his cigarette and slowly said, "I'm quite wondering now, is Bai Zhuwei's matter related to him?"
After hearing Si Yanxiao's words, Jiang Ran suddenly understood. No wonder he was so eager to visit her on her behalf, and no wonder he already had his own plans.
He really is a man of deep cunning...
Jiang Ran suddenly felt as if she had been used as a pawn, and her eyes filled with malice.
He then replied coldly, "What evidence do you have?"
"Evidence?" Si Yanxiao scoffed. "If there were evidence to prove it was him, he probably wouldn't be in the hospital right now."
His words were full of threat. After a slight pause, he continued, "After much thought, who is the biggest beneficiary of all these things combined?"
"These things have nothing to do with you, but if you look closely, you are the biggest beneficiary behind the scenes!"
“But you clearly stated that it was not you who did it. Given how much Jiang Yuechen values you, it is not impossible that he couldn’t bear to see you wronged and secretly handled these trivial matters for you.”
Si Yanxiao slowly expressed his opinion, but Jiang Ran found it extremely ironic and suddenly let out a cold laugh.
The biggest beneficiary?!
It's just the title of the president's wife of the Si Group. Does he really think he'd go to such lengths for such a hollow title?!
I really don't know if he overestimated himself or underestimated her.
Because dealing with Bai Zhuwei caused such a series of butterfly effects, do you really think she has nothing better to do than focus on these things every day?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran's lips curled up slightly, a hint of disdain flashing across her face, before she coldly scoffed, "Your suspicion is truly laughable!"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed. Before he could retort, Jiang Ran spoke first, coldly saying, "If I wanted to take action, I would eliminate any future troubles, instead of leaving you with scattered clues to follow. Otherwise, wouldn't I be inviting trouble?"
"I would never stoop to pointless actions, so you can rest assured."
After saying that, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, which Si Yanxiao found particularly ironic.
It seemed to be subtly mocking his stupidity.
Anger welled up inside him, and he said coldly, "Why should I believe you based solely on your word?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and retorted, "Then you have no evidence whatsoever, so what gives you the right to suspect me?"
"Don't tell me I have no interest in Bai Zhuwei at all. Even if she came back, what would it have to do with me?"
He paused slightly as he spoke, and seeing Si Yanxiao's displeased expression, his eyes sharpened before he continued speaking.
"Also, don't say I'm taking up this position. Marrying you was at the old man's request. I didn't take any advantage!"
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
Si Yanxiao always brought this up, unaware of how much guilt he had unjustly taken upon himself, never considering that she was also a "victim" among them.
The original owner had to bear the consequences of the trouble caused by her greed. Wasn't she wronged?
Hearing Jiang Ran's accusations, Si Yanxiao's expression changed slightly, but he remained skeptical of her words.
After all, the clues have been going cold these past few days, as if someone had done it on purpose, and there are many suspicious things about Jiang Yuechen that need to be verified.
Seeing that Si Yanxiao still had a questioning expression, Jiang Ran's eyes turned slightly cold, and she said in a cold voice, "I can tell you very clearly that this matter has nothing to do with us. If there are any clues pointing to us, it is because someone has framed us!"
"Heh..." Si Yanxiao listened and suddenly sneered, then questioned, "Why would you frame someone else out of the blue?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran looked up at Si Yanxiao with displeasure in her eyes. He said these words were completely devoid of any skill, as if he were just spouting nonsense.
What she hates most is arguing endlessly with this kind of person.
Seeing that Jiang Ran had nothing to say, Si Yanxiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light. No matter what Jiang Ran said, he ignored her.
He couldn't think of anyone else who would do this besides Jiang Ran.
She could never have done it so flawlessly by herself alone, but with Jiang Yuechen helping her, the situation would be completely different.
After all, the Jiang Group and the Si Group belong to two different fields. If Jiang Yuechen transfers people from the neighboring city, he really won't be able to find out the truth in a short time.
Seeing the thoughtful look in his eyes, Jiang Ran knew he was still bothered by the matter, so she spoke again in a cold voice, "Then tell me, what's the point of me doing this?"
"If it were me, I could have targeted Bai Zhuwei alone. Why drag the old man and the child into this? Wouldn't that be unnecessary?"
"Besides, why would I put myself in danger? What if something unexpected happened? Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?"
Jiang Ran spoke slowly, appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him. Si Yanxiao listened, his face still filled with disbelief, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He replied sharply, "What wouldn't you do to make it more realistic?"
Hearing the sarcasm in Si Yanxiao's words, Jiang Ran felt a pang of bitterness welling up in her heart.
Without holding back, he spoke coldly and sarcastically, "Realistic? Can't you see the old man's, Ah Chen's, and Ah Lin's positions right now?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao naturally understood the meaning behind Jiang Ran's words. The old man was now clearly on his side, whether it was because of the divination results Master Xuanren had previously made, or because of the meticulous and flawless things she had done recently, which had won the old man's favor.
As for Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, needless to say, although they openly expressed their dislike for Jiang Ran, they secretly went against them because of her.
Si Yanxiao saw through it all. He looked at Jiang Ran with a cold eye, and a hint of displeasure suddenly welled up in his eyes.
"If I do this and it gets exposed, wouldn't I be shooting myself in the foot?" Jiang Ran said sarcastically, a hint of impatience flashing between her brows.
It's really not her style to argue for half a day over something, especially something like this, which is completely unjust and baseless.
Si Yanxiao listened to Jiang Ran's explanation, his eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, but he did not completely believe her.
He merely expressed his doubts about her and Jiang Yuechen in a cold voice.
Jiang Ran pursed her lips slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face. She raised her eyes and looked at him seriously: "Although I am grateful that you saved him and took him to the hospital in time, I do not want to hear your malicious slander anymore!"
As he spoke, a hint of threat flashed in his voice.
The two were arguing at the top of the stairs, attracting the attention of passersby who looked on with curiosity.
Si Yanxiao glanced coldly at the person passing by. The person was startled, hurriedly looked away, and walked quickly towards the ward.
After that person left, Si Yanxiao looked at Jiang Ran, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "I hope what you said is true."
After saying that, he took two steps forward, instantly closing the distance between himself and Jiang Ran. He leaned down and whispered threateningly in her ear, "But if I find out that you're involved, don't blame me for being ruthless."
As Jiang Ran listened, a mocking smile instantly appeared on her lips.
Show no mercy?!
What a joke!
What kind of sentiment is left between the two of them?
Jiang Ran took a half step back, maintaining a certain distance from him.
Si Yanxiao didn't care at all. He tilted his head slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Didn't we split up to investigate the clues about Ayan and Alin's accident? Surely it hasn't been this long and there's still no progress?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly, her expression turning cold. She had previously discovered that the matter was related to Bai Zhuwei, but it was interrupted by the illness of Old Master Si, and there was no further progress.
Moreover, given Si Yanxiao's feelings for Bai Zhuwei, even if I were to voice my suspicions and investigate along the lines of Bai Zhuwei, he probably wouldn't believe me and would instead mock me.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran immediately abandoned her intention to speak directly. She frowned slightly and casually made up a pretext: "There are clues, but it is not yet certain whether they are true or false."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's face flashed with a mocking smile, his eyes filled with disdain: "Heh...then you can slowly 'investigate'!"
