Wen Xi vaguely remembered that the casualties among the aid workers were reported in the news, but the specific circumstances were not detailed. Everyone only knew that such an incident had occurred, but most people did not know the details of how it happened or who the perpetrators were.
"Do you know the details of that group of people?" Wen Xi asked after a moment of silence.
"They are basically fugitives from various countries. Each one is extremely vicious and has been roaming around in volatile areas for years, committing crimes. Their actions are extremely insidious and cunning. They act in secret, and as long as there is money to be made, there is nothing they would not do."
After my brother and sister-in-law met their end, I mobilized all the forces I could. A year later, several parties joined forces to locate their lair, but the leader had escaped. The leader's only son had died in that campaign, and the He family had provided crucial clues that made this campaign possible. With his only son gone, the leader naturally hated me to the core.
We've fought more than once or twice. He was the one who nearly got He Xing taken away before. I sent him to death row after that, thinking it was over, but I didn't expect him to escape by exchanging prisoners."
He Tingyan has been busy since he woke up. All of this was discovered in the past few days.
After Lao Ya escaped from prison, he has been secretly rebuilding his power for the past two years. When he had recovered enough, he came to seek revenge.
Hearing this, Wen Xi's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Exchange prisoners?
This method is the same as the scapegoat she encountered before. It makes people think that everything is over, but it hides in the dark and then strikes a fatal blow when you are caught off guard.
No wonder Uncle Wu, with so many connections, couldn't find out the other party's origins. They had been wandering around the country and never thought that this matter was interfered by outsiders, and it was a gang that acted so secretly. If they hadn't heard what He Tingyan said today, how would they know that there was such a group of people in a distant turbulent place, let alone know that the spider pattern on the body was unique to their members.
Wen Xi was lost in thought, immersed in her own world, and didn't even notice that He Tingyan had put on his clothes, got out of bed and came to her.
He Tingyan looked at her thoughtfully, then suddenly realized, "You've fought with them before, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so sure that you've implicated me."
The voice rang in his ears, and Wen Xi came back to his senses.
She looked up suddenly and met He Tingyan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
"I guessed right."
After thinking for a moment, Wen Xi simply admitted: "Yes, that's right."
Since everyone was facing the same mortal enemy, she had nothing to hide, so she just told him everything. Maybe she could get a lot of valuable information from him.
"You should have heard about what happened in my family more than ten years ago."
"Yeah." He Tingyan sat down opposite Wen Xi and nodded.
"It wasn't an accident. My uncle's family was murdered, and my father was wrongly accused. To avenge his death, we've been tracking him down for years. The perpetrator, who's still at large, has the same tattoo on his hand as the one who chased us that day."
"So that's why you think you've caused me trouble?"
"Well, because they never stopped pursuing them, they once attacked my family, and my cousin was almost lured and killed by them."
Hearing this, He Tingyan's brows furrowed.
"Why didn't you tell me these things?"
"This is my family matter."
The implication is that it has nothing to do with him, an outsider.
He Tingyan's face looked extremely ugly, as if he was deeply hurt.
