"It's irrational, isn't it? I think so too. But I don't have the answer to why." Wen Xi paused and continued, "However, based on the information I have now, I can be sure that what happened back then was not simple. The perpetrators tried their best to prevent us from investigating further, even going so far as to silence us. The hidden story behind this, or the conspiracy, I'm afraid it will require our joint efforts to unravel."
What is the truth?
After hearing Wen Xi's words, Wen Yuan felt inexplicably anxious about the unknown answer.
He waved, wanting to ask the clerk to bring a pack of cigarettes, but when he saw Wen Xi, his hand dropped subconsciously.
I peeled off the golden wrapping and put the chocolate ball in my mouth. The sweet taste instantly filled my mouth, and my aching heart eased a little.
"When did you realize there was a problem?"
When he spoke again, Wen Yuan's voice had become much calmer.
"I knew something was wrong the day it happened."
Wen Yuan looked at her with some doubt. At that time, she was still a child who knew nothing about the world.
"I trust my dad, just like you trust your uncle and aunt."
Wen Yuan was stunned, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
"Actually, I couldn't believe it at the time. Second Uncle was such a generous person and had such a good relationship with Dad...but..."
Wen Yuan's voice was choked with sobs, as if he was recalling something from the past.
"You're right not to believe it." Wen Xi interrupted him, "This is a conspiracy, and there's a traitor inside."
"A traitor?!" Wen Yuan looked at Wen Xi in shock, his voice changing a little.
"Yes, over the years, the Wen family and our various forces have managed to find some clues about the perpetrators, but as far as I know, on at least three occasions, the perpetrators escaped at the critical moment. Once or twice would be fine, but don't you find it strange that they managed to get away so smoothly every time? Unless someone tipped off, with our strength, how could the murderer still be at large?"
After listening to Wen Xi's analysis, Wen Yuan suddenly came to his senses.
In the past, he thought that the thieves were just too cunning, but after what happened tonight, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought.
"You've never doubted me before?" Wen Yuan looked at Wen Xi steadily.
The word "traitor" is used to describe him. As an adopted son with no blood relationship with the Wen family, and his adoptive mother was pregnant at the time, his identity inevitably aroused people's suspicion.
Wen Xi shook her head without hesitation and said frankly, "My aunt's fetus was unstable at the time, and you personally prepared the medicine to maintain the pregnancy. Logically, given your sensitive status, you should have avoided any suspicion or been blamed if anything went wrong, but you didn't. This shows how sincere you are to them. Moreover, after the accident, your status was awkward, and your power was stripped away. It would definitely not be any better than when they were alive."
Also, you were eventually killed by the real mastermind. Of course, this happened in the life before his rebirth, so Wen Xi naturally wouldn't say it out loud.
Seeing that she spoke out her thoughts without reservation and even came to his rescue tonight, Wen Yuan felt that he had been judging others by his own standards.
"Then Xixi, who do you think the traitor could be?" Wen Yuan frowned after solemnly apologizing for his previous rude words and actions.
"I don't know, but until all the evidence is ruled out, everything is possible. My aunt, uncle's family, and even the closest relatives are all suspects."
"for what?"
"have no idea."
It started to drizzle outside the store at some point, and it was cold, with a bit of the chill of early winter.
