The way Nan Xun and Xue Li'er hugged each other looked like a pair of lovers who had resolved their misunderstandings and reconciled, which made Zhu Zhu feel very uncomfortable.
But Zhu Zhu could only hide this feeling in her heart and dared not show it on her face.
"Why did you let Rashid capture Zhu Zhu?" Nan Xun asked when he saw that Xue Li'er's emotions had calmed down a little.
Xue Li'er knew they had already believed her story, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as she could come up with a reasonable excuse for arresting Zhu Zhu, she believed that even if Nan Xun was angry, he wouldn't do anything to her.
"Yes, I provided Rashid with information about Zhu Zhu," Xue Li'er said, "but I really didn't know they were coming to capture Zhu Zhu. It was Rashid who forced me to do it. He knew I had returned to the imperial capital, so he wanted to force me to go back. I refused to die, so he said he would send someone to kill you."
"I really don't want you to get hurt." Xue Li'er's tears welled up again. "So I negotiated with Rashid. He promised to let you go as long as you help him sell arms. But... but he said he knew you had an ex-wife, and he must... must let me send him Zhu Zhu's personal information as a guarantee..."
"I swear!" Xue Li'er said, "I really didn't know they would come to arrest Zhu Zhu..."
Xue Li'er suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Zhu Zhu, begging her continuously.
"I was wrong... I've let you down... I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time, okay? I had no choice."
Xue Lier knelt before Zhu Zhu and cried bitterly. Not to mention the men, even Zhu Zhu, a woman, couldn't bear to see this.
"Alright." Nan Xun helped Xue Li'er up from the ground. "Some things can't be blamed on you. I believe Zhu Zhu won't hold it against you either."
After hearing Nan Xun's words, Zhu Zhu suddenly sneered.
"Why don't you care?" Zhu Zhu looked at Nan Xun coldly, "She almost killed me just now."
"Zhu Zhu..." Nan Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold as he looked at Zhu Zhu. "I've already checked Li Er's case. So... could you please stop caring about it?"
"I care?" Zhu Zhu suddenly found it a little funny. "Your Li'er came with potassium cyanide to kill me. Seeing that I didn't fall for it, he wanted to strangle me to death. You want me to just let it go like this?"
"Yes..." Xue Li'er said pitifully, "I brought the potassium cyanide. But I really didn't come here to kill Zhu Zhu. I always carry this thing with me, just thinking that if Rashid catches me one day, I... I can..."
"I came here today to make sure Zhu Zhu was safe. I untied the rope for her, but she suddenly said that I had someone capture her and wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to take action..." Xue Li'er said excitedly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Hamu. He is in your hands. Just ask him and you will know."
In fact, Nanxun and Xie Jiashu had already learned from Hamu the reason why Xue Lier came, and it was not much different from what Xue Lier said.
"So you believe what she said?" Zhu Zhu looked at Nan Xun with red eyes.
Nan Xun's lips moved, but he said nothing in the end.
Zhu Zhu knew that Nan Xun's silence said it all.
Her former love was forced to leave her like this. She then endured humiliation and returned to her side with great difficulty. No one would blame her.
Besides, she and Xue Li'er were the only ones who knew that they were in the same room just now. Even if there was a discrepancy, who would believe it?
