"Really? Thanks for the compliment."
"You!" Cheng Ruolin was so angry at Wen Xi's calm demeanor that her heart stagnated. However, she still asked unwillingly, "When did you find out?"
"Old Crow's death wasn't an accident, so it was you who did it, right?"
"How do you know?"
Cheng Ruolin's brows were twisted into a knot.
At that angle, they couldn't have seen her. She was obviously hiding it very well...
"If you don't want people to know, then you better not do it. The knife marks you left on him and Xue Ziqi are almost identical. After the first kill, you made a second strike to prevent a missed kill, and you were able to accurately strike the same wound with the exact same accuracy. It's impossible not to attract attention."
The muscles on Cheng Ruolin's face twitched slightly.
I didn't expect that the habits I had developed over a long period of time to ensure that nothing would go wrong would actually expose my flaws.
"So... before I even touched the map, you knew it was me?"
"Yes, after Xue Ziqi was rescued and identified you, our inference was further confirmed." Wen Xi said in a calm voice.
There's nothing to hide now.
"You knew I couldn't handle everything on this island by myself, so you didn't expose me right away in order to uncover all the forces behind me. To make you think you were successful in sowing discord, the others also pretended to believe you were the real murderer, so I'd let my guard down."
"That's right. We've all been exhausted just to play this scene with you. We've really put in all our efforts. So, we think our acting hasn't really humiliated you."
"That's true, but so what?" Cheng Ruolin, feeling like she was being played like a monkey, laughed in anger. "Now you're in my hands again, aren't you?"
Cheng Ruolin glanced proudly at Zhen Yue, who was cowering in fear behind her.
"What do you want?" He Tingyan's eyes flashed coldly.
"I know I'm going to die, and I'm afraid I'll be lonely on the road, so I want to find someone to accompany me. Tingyan, do you want your mother or your fiancée to accompany you? You have to choose one of the two. Only one of them can survive."
Cheng Ruolin stared at the handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes in front of her, with a perverted excitement in her eyes.
What she can't get, no one else can get!
If she chooses to save her mother, she will have to kill the person she loves with her own hands. If she chooses to protect her lover, she will have to witness her biological mother's tragic death in front of her. She wants to see what choice this man will make when faced with this century-long dilemma!
Even if he really chooses Bao Wenxi, can they still be together in the future?
Impossible.
Just imagine, if every time he sees his wife, he can’t help but think of the tragic death of his biological mother in order to save her, can he bear it?
No one knew this man better than she did.
Although he looks cold on the surface, he actually values friendship the most.
Otherwise, he would not have rushed to rescue the woman who abandoned him when he was young after receiving the notice.
"How about it, Ting Yan, have you made your choice? Which one do you want to protect?"
Seeing the man remained silent, Cheng Ruolin urged with a smile.
"Are you crazy? Do you want to make the same mistake again?"
"Mistake after mistake?" Cheng Ruolin laughed maniacally. "So what? I already have countless lives on my hands, so what if one more? But you can rest assured, Ting Yan. As long as you make a choice, I will keep my promise and let the other person go. I will not hurt you either. After all, you are the one I love deeply."
"The one you love deeply?" He Tingyan raised his eyebrows, a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"That's right, He Tingyan, can't you see? I've liked you since we were little. Even though you never paid any attention to me, I never gave up my love for you. Even when my family was in trouble and I had to go abroad, I never forgot you for a single day. I finally came back, but you still don't have my eyes on you. It's so disappointing. Why, why would you choose such a despicable and lowly coquettish bitch over me?"
