"Can you guarantee that you're like this, and can you guarantee that others are too?" Wen Xi glanced at the angry brother and sister, and at Song Ting, who was certain that she was the murderer of Xue Ziqi, and said, "I'll say it again, don't try to put the blame on me. I'm not short of money, and I'm richer than you. When it comes to the probability of being tempted by money, you're all a hundred times more likely than me!"
"That's right, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. I, Sheng Qingfeng's granddaughter, will never do such a treacherous and unjust thing!" Old Master Sheng said in a loud voice.
Although he just recognized his granddaughter as his biological parent, it doesn't stop him from being very protective of her.
"It's said to catch a thief and catch the dirty work. You said it was my granddaughter who did it. Please provide evidence, otherwise it is also slander."
"Now that Xue Ziqi is dead and there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing, you can of course say whatever you want." Song Ting, who thought he had figured out the truth just now, argued in a low voice.
"You also know there's no evidence? So you can just say whatever you want?" The old man retorted, "Did you find the picture on Xier?"
Everyone: “…”
"The Qing Dynasty died a long time ago! This is a new society. Stop accusing others of crimes without evidence."
"But Mr. Sheng," Lian Li persisted, "even if everyone has a motive, among us women, only your granddaughter knows how to do this. Besides, there's Miss Cheng, an eyewitness. Based on these two factors alone, who else could have done such a thing besides your granddaughter? Stealing the pictures is one thing, but she also poisoned and silenced them! Song Ting and I faint at the sight of blood, let alone Miss Cheng. She fainted the moment she saw Xue Ziqi's body that day. She's even more timid than me."
Cheng Ruolin lowered her head slightly, a hint of a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes.
I have long noticed that Lian Li and Wen Xi are not on good terms. It must be God's help to her. It seems that this move was the right one.
The more intense the internal strife among this group of people, the better it is for her. She still needs to work harder on the way back.
"Alright, stop arguing." Ling Liang frowned and waved his hand. "Song Ting, go and turn on the signal jammer to block all information transmission."
"It's Captain Ling."
Song Ting glanced at Wen Xi with disdain and left in a hurry.
At Ling Liang's instruction, the captain and two crew members walked towards Wenxi.
"What does Captain Ling mean?" He Tingyan pulled Wen Xi behind him, his eyebrows slightly raised.
"Tingyan, we're about to set sail. To avoid any complications, Miss Wen, please stay indoors from now on."
"You want to put her under house arrest?"
"Don't worry, Tingyan, we're only restricting her movements. This is also for the safety of others. We won't do anything to Miss Wen. Once we return home, everything will be handed over to the relevant authorities for interrogation."
"In that case, then add me in. Xiaoxi is my wife. Although the ceremony hasn't been completed yet, the engagement is confirmed, so we should share the joys and sorrows together." He Tingyan took the hand of the girl next to him and held it tightly.
"And me, we are connected by blood and are one." Old Master Sheng said with a bright gaze. A breeze blew by, and his long hair and beard, which had not been cut for many years, swayed lightly, revealing his handsome and elegant figure in the past.
"If you count me in, won't you say I'm an accomplice? Aren't you afraid that we will kill again if you only arrest her?" Zhuang Yi played with the surgical blade in his hand with his slender fingers, a sarcastic smile on his lips.
"you……"
Ling Liang looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, I'm sorry to inconvenience you all for now."
When it comes to national interests, no one’s words of pity will be of any use.
Wenxi and the other three were locked up in separate cabins.
