"But I still can't understand, since An Yiqing was instructed by someone, why didn't he reveal the person behind it?" Shen Yihan asked puzzledly.
Xie Jiashu sneered, "Why do you think An Yiqing waited a few days on the run before turning himself in? From what I know about An Yiqing, he's a simple man. He wouldn't think of using turning himself in to clear himself of the charge of murder."
"You mean, that was the person who taught An Yiqing to turn himself in?"
"Yes." Xie Jiashu nodded. "So no matter what happens, An Yiqing probably won't reveal the person behind this."
"What should we do then?" Shen Yihan was really not very good at these intrigues, so he could only ask Xie Jiashu for help.
"For now, we can only hold our ground. We'll just go along with their wishes and treat it as a normal hit-and-run." Xie Jiashu paused, "Once they think we believe you and let their guard down, it will be easier for us to find the real culprit."
"So what do we do now?"
Xie Jiashu glanced at Shen Yihuan and said, "You just need to take good care of Zhu Zhu. I'll take care of the rest. But you have to help me think about who will benefit the most if Zhu Zhu really gets into trouble."
Who benefits the most? This question stumped Shen Yihuan. Zhu Zhu didn't have any financial ties with anyone, so how would her accident benefit others?
"Could it be Liu Ruohan?" Shen Yihuan asked, "Didn't she send people to attack Zhu Zhu before? Maybe it's her this time too."
"Impossible!" Xie Jiashu denied. "Liu Ruohan and An Yiqing have already fallen out. There's no way An Yiqing would hurt Zhu Zhu just to help Liu Ruohan vent her anger. Besides, from what I know about Liu Ruohan, she wouldn't be able to come up with such a thorough plan. She certainly doesn't have the ability to convince An Yiqing to surrender."
If it’s not Liu Ruohan… then could it be her?
"Could it be Zhu Jue?" Shen Yihuan asked, "She is Zhu Zhu's cousin. Would it be good for her if Zhu Zhu is gone?"
"The biggest benefit for her is Shuangzhu Media," Xie Jiashu said, "She has already obtained it."
"But Zhu Jue hates Zhu Zhu very much." Shen Yihuan said, "She likes Nan Xun, so she has always resented Zhu Zhu and Nan Xun being together. What if she wanted to kill Zhu Zhu to vent her anger? That's not impossible!"
"Killing someone isn't that easy." Xie Jiashu looked at Shen Yihan steadily. "Zhu Zhu has already divorced Nan Xun. Zhu Zhu's father has lost his shares in Shuangzhu. Do you think Zhu Jue would still go to such great lengths to take Zhu Zhu's life? Even if it was really Zhu Jue, what benefit would she get from Zhu Zhu's death other than venting her anger? If An Yiqing betrayed her, she would go to jail for life. Would she be so foolish as to put herself in danger just to vent her anger?"
After Xie Jiashu's words, Shen Yihuan also felt that there was some truth in it. Zhu Zhu and Nan Xun divorced, and then lost Shuangzhu. Zhu Jue didn't need to take Zhu Zhu's life again.
"Then... who could it be?" Shen Yihan really couldn't think of it.
Xie Jiashu was silent for a moment, then said, "There's one person who would actually benefit greatly if Zhu Zhu were gone."
"Who?" Shen Yihuan asked.
Xie Jiashu looked at Shen Yihuan for a long time, then lowered his voice and said, "Xue Lier..."
What? Shen Yihuan opened his eyes wide and looked at Xie Jiashu in horror.
"Xue Li'er?! Why did she want to harm Zhu Zhu?"
