Su Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yang Jiaoruo! What are you doing?" Shen Xi was very angry and could not understand Yang Jiaoruo's behavior at this moment.
Yang Jiaoruo didn't think she had done anything wrong and replied confidently, "Her identity is questionable, and I'm investigating. What's wrong with that?"
Shen Xi pointed to the thick needle lying on the ground, "Is this the investigation you were talking about?"
"This is a common interrogation tactic, didn't you know?"
"We only resort to such methods when we've confirmed someone is a spy!"
"I already have evidence!"
Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Su Jin. "You have evidence?"
Su Jinxia stared blankly, looking as if she had no idea what evidence Su Jinxia had.
Shen Xi sighed, "I don't care what evidence you have. Her status is different. How can you bypass the young master and directly resort to torture?"
Yang Jiaoruo disagreed, "What's the difference? Isn't she part of a group of disciples?"
Shen Xi suddenly felt that Yang Jiaoruo had become unreasonable.
"Are you truly confused or just pretending? Just because she is the current owner of Tingyu Tower doesn't mean you can make decisions on your own!"
Yang Jiaoruo gritted her teeth, staring at Chen Xi with disbelief on her face.
"Young master was deceived by her, protecting her at every turn, not even caring about her identity. Now even you have been bewitched by her?"

Yang Jiaoruo was heartbroken. "We grew up together. Don't you know what kind of person I am? If she's alright, and if the young master is sober, would I be in this situation? Why do you all prefer to believe her rather than me?"
Shen Xi frowned deeply. "It's not a matter of trusting anyone, it's that you overstepped your authority! Jiao Ruo, I know very well who you are, but you don't know who the young master is. You always think that the young master is still the willful child he was more than ten years ago, and you want to watch over him and control him every moment, but he has long since grown up. You are not the only one trying to become stronger. The young master has endured far more than we have, and he is far wiser than we have. He knows how to handle things and doesn't need you to make decisions for him."
Yang Jiaoruo fell silent. She knew she should trust Shen Qianxue, but Su Jinxia's appearance made her panic.
Shen Xi sighed and returned to the main topic, "If you really have evidence, then let's confront the young master, and he will decide right and wrong and punish accordingly."
Yang Jiaoruo raised her head, her face full of stubbornness, "Fine!"
