Chapter 523 Don’t You Still Believe Me?

"Are you sure?" Gu Xiaoxi still couldn't believe it.

After all, she watched the surveillance video for a long time and really didn't realize that Old Man Gu was pretending.

If he could act like that right under her and Yu Chengshuang's noses, then his acting skills would be incredible!

Gu Xinli was afraid that Gu Xiaoxi would not believe her, so she cursed and swore, "What I said is true. There is absolutely no lie. If I am lying, I will die miserably! It was really that old man who harmed me. He conspired with the Lu family. They harmed me and sold me out. They were afraid that I would run away, so they broke my legs..."

The more Gu Xinli spoke, the sadder she became, and the angrier she became.

If she hadn't had some money hidden on her, and had given some money to a passing kid to give money to Gu Xiaoxi, she would have definitely died in this shabby house for the rest of her life.

She now wished she could run back and beat that old guy to death, or else poison him to death!

"Gu Xiaoxi, I will listen to you in everything from now on. I will tell you everything I know. You must let Lu Jiansen catch that old guy and send him to jail..."

Seeing Gu Xinli's expression, Gu Xiaoxi felt that what she said was probably not a lie.

But what is going on?

How come a paralyzed old man can move again?

Suddenly, she thought of another possibility.

The old man of the Xie family has disappeared in Kyoto. If this man is really old man Gu's younger brother, is it possible that they look alike?

Did Gu Xinli make a mistake?

Thinking of this, she asked again: "Gu Xinli, I ask you again, are you sure that the person who brought you here is that old man Gu? Do you feel that there is something wrong with him? For example, is there anything different about his figure or voice from usual?"

Gu Xinli heard Gu Xiaoxi ask this and said angrily: "Don't you still believe me? I said, I really didn't lie this time, it really wasn't him. Aren't you a doctor? Can't you just check the old man's pulse? Then you will know whether he is pretending or not?"

Gu Xiaoxi glared at her. "You said that because you don't know another secret. According to our investigation, old man Gu has a younger brother named Gu Zesheng. Others only think that Gu Zesheng was washed away by the flood, but he is not dead at all. He was rescued by a soldier. Tell me, could it be this Gu Zesheng who brought you to this place and joined forces with the Lu family?"

"Ah?" Gu Xinli was stunned.

Gu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows in disdain, "You look confused sometimes, don't you? You ran back from Qingbei to Huaicheng to deceive the Lu family. Did you do something else and then be discovered by old man Gu, so he wanted to kill you?"

Gu Xinli now just wants to live well and take revenge. She said without hiding anything: "After I met you that time, I went straight back to Huaicheng. Because I remembered something I saw when I was a child, that is, my grandmother and Old Man Lu appeared from behind the haystack in the middle of the night... I also saw Old Man Lu secretly giving money to my aunt, so I thought about asking the Lu family for some money..."

"I went directly to Old Lu and threatened him that if he didn't give me money, I would tell my grandfather... Who would have thought that they were such a bunch of traitors..."

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed his eyes slightly. "That's it? You didn't do anything?"

Gu Xinli said gloomily, "Old Lu was definitely unwilling to give me the money at first, but then I went to his son... Finally, I said I had evidence that they poisoned Xiaozhi and knew they were the ones who did it. That's when they finally gave me the money."

"I just didn't expect that the Lu family gave me the money and then told my damned grandfather about it. They knocked me out, and when I regained some consciousness, I heard them say that they had taken care of me, the matter was over, and they would never contact me again..."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded in understanding, "So that's how you asked the Lu family for the money. Apart from these, did you find anything else when you came back this time?"

Gu Xinli was silent for a while before she said, "I suspect that there is someone behind this old man Gu. The poison he hid has poisoned more than one or two people. People who didn't get along with them all died in various accidents. Gu Xiaoxi, I suggest you ask Lu Jiansen to arrest Xiaogu and interrogate her carefully. I feel that she may know a lot. She is very snobbish, has many tricks, and spends a lot of time at home. She must know more about what secrets Old Man Gu has than I do."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Someone will interrogate her. If you have nothing else to say, you should explain it again when the police come to question you. You will have no chance of survival if you cooperate honestly."

Gu Xinli actually didn't dare to go to the Public Security Bureau, but looking at Gu Xiaoxi's official expression, she couldn't help but say one more word.

"Gu Xiaoxi, if I tell you another secret, can you ask Lu Jiansen to help me and not let me go to jail?"

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her thoughtfully, "At this point, do you still have any secrets to tell?"

Gu Xinli seemed to have made up her mind and said in a low voice: "Tell people nearby to stay away. I can only tell you this secret."

Gu Xiaoxi was not afraid of what Gu Xinli would do. She glanced at Yu Chengshuang who was not far away and signaled him to leave.

Yu Chengshuang nodded slightly, turned around and walked a little further away.

Those who were watching the excitement in the village had not dared to stand too close in the first place, and now they thought something had happened, so they naturally moved away.

Gu Xinli looked around, then coughed lightly and said to Gu Xiaoxi almost in a whisper: "I know another secret, which is about the jade pendant you stole from me before."

Gu Xiaoxi was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Gu Xinli would even tell her the secret of the space jade pendant.

Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Gu Xinli didn't keep her in suspense and continued, "Gu Xiaoxi, you would never have thought that the jade pendant is not an ordinary jade pendant at all. There is a mysterious space inside it. You can put things in it and even raise fish..."

Gu Xiaoxi looked at her as if she were a fool, "Have you heard too many mythological stories?"

Seeing that she didn't believe her, Gu Xinli suddenly became anxious and her voice became uncontrollably louder.

"What I said is true, don't disbelieve me. The fish I asked my mother to send you were raised in that fish pond. I was just unlucky. Later, I accidentally broke the jade pendant and lost this biggest support. Otherwise, I would never have taken the Lu family's money seriously..."

At this point, she paused for a moment before saying, "I told you before that I stole the jade pendant from my grandfather. I really didn't lie to you. At first, I thought I hid it well. I stole the jade pendant for so many years, and that damn old man didn't find out. But when that old guy broke my leg this time, I heard him mutter something behind me. He said that I was a dishonest person and he had wanted to break my legs for a long time..."

"Gu Xiaoxi, I... I feel like he already knew that the jade pendant was with me, and he knew the secret of the jade pendant..."
