Chapter 152 It's You
Su Nianwei looked around and saw that everyone in her family was looking at her. She couldn't help but chuckle, "I've been with you all these days."
Her intention was obvious as soon as she said this. She was implying that she had an irrefutable alibi.
Su Shengsheng heard this and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. "What a coincidence! Usually only those with something to hide will be eager to find excuses to clear themselves of suspicion."
Jiao and Zhong's eyes moved back and forth between the two men, but they had no idea how to make a conclusion and found it difficult to make a decision.
They knew very well that Su Shengsheng was not someone who would jump to conclusions easily, but...
Su Nianwei chuckled again, trying to direct the blame towards Su Shengsheng, "Then can I also say that this was Sixth Sister's doing? After all, it was you who sent Fourth Sister to the border..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su Shengsheng's frosty voice, "I never said I was here to help Fourth Sister escape!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room froze instantly.
Everyone was shocked. They originally thought that Su Shengsheng was just sending Su Yuanling out of Chiyan City to live somewhere else, but they never expected that she would have the courage to send someone out of the city.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Nianwei, whose expression changed slightly.
Su Nianwei tried to defend herself with a trembling voice, "I just heard it from outsiders..."
"Outsiders?" Su Shengsheng sneered. "The people behind this aren't targeting the Bai family at all. They have only one goal, and that is to completely destroy my fourth sister and me. Otherwise, they could have handed us over to the authorities as soon as the vehicle left the customs. But they didn't do that. Instead, they took a long detour. Because they knew I wasn't on that vehicle, and the people behind this knew it all."
Su Shengsheng slowly walked towards Su Nianwei, her eyes sharp as a torch. "Besides, the Fan family knows nothing about this, otherwise they would have spread the news a long time ago. Even if there are such rumors circulating outside now, it was you who spread them on purpose."
The Su family's expressions changed again, and they looked at Su Nianwei with eyes full of disbelief.
Su Yuanling trembled as she walked up to Su Nianwei, her voice filled with despair. "Is it you? Is it really you?"
Su Nianwei smiled helplessly and tried to explain, "Fourth sister, why do you doubt me? This is just a rumor from outsiders..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Su Yuanling with a loud slap.
This slap also shocked everyone present.
"There are no outsiders at all!" Su Yuanling's eyes were red as she glared at Su Nianwei. "Everyone in the family, including you, is under Sixth Sister's surveillance. You didn't send anyone to deliver the letter, nor did you have anyone intercept me. But you haven't had any contact with any outsiders either!"
Amidst the lightning and thunder, Su Yuanling seemed to connect all the clues. "It's you! You knew we were going outside the Great Wall, so you came early..."
Su Nianwei covered her red cheek, a trace of astonishment and unwillingness flashed in her eyes. "Even if I knew that Sixth Sister sent Fourth Sister to the border, I couldn't possibly have arranged all this. I've been watched all the time, how could I have the chance to send anyone?"
Indeed, this series of public opinion storms and the fact that the Fan family was manipulated and exploited would make it difficult for Su Nianwei to put this idea into practice even if she had it.
Just when everyone was in confusion, Su Shengsheng waved her hand gently, signaling Qing Ningyu to come forward.
The two of them quickly covered the windows with a layer of black gauze, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.
Su Jingshan looked at Su Shengsheng in surprise, "Daughter, what are you doing?"
Before he finished speaking, strings of bright lights suddenly appeared on the floor, extending all the way to their feet.
This scene stunned everyone, and they looked down at the soles of their shoes in amazement.
Su Shengsheng stared at Su Nianwei, whose face changed with shock, and spoke slowly, "I know someone wants to harm my family, but I don't know when or where. With today's drama, those outside are ready to make a move, and those inside will surely be unable to hold back. Therefore, I have instructed Qing Ning to quietly scatter this substance in several places in the courtyard. Whenever someone steps on it, it will silently adhere to the soles of shoes. This substance is normal during the day, but only when night falls does it emit a faint fluorescent light."
Looking at Su Nianwei's increasingly serious expression, Su Shengsheng's lips curled up in a cold smile. "It's only half an hour until dark now. Seventh sister, you can deny it outright. When night falls, you won't be able to deny it."
Although she didn't know how the people inside were able to pass on the message under the watchful eyes of the heavy guards, with such a big commotion today, Su Nianwei would definitely go to the place that communicated with the outside world to take a look.
In other words, they may not have agreed on a specific time, but only a fixed place to leave letters.
Today, she and her fourth sister were stopped on the street. Su Nianwei would definitely not be able to hold back and would go to the place where they communicated and linger.
As long as she takes action, she will leave a trace...
"Oh? Then why didn't Sixth Sister say anything before, but showed it only now?" Su Nianwei tested her with words, thinking that this was just Su Shengsheng's bluff.
After all, only a few hours had passed since the incident.
Su Shengsheng and Su Yuanling were already in trouble and it was difficult for them to escape, so how could they have the time to go home and set up this situation?
I guess it was just that she felt something was wrong on her way back, so she conspired with Ning Yu and the others to do this.
It was just like the trick used just now to push Yunxiang and Yunyi out to lure her into revealing her true colors.
"I'm just giving you a chance, and also to catch the people outside. As for whether you want this opportunity or not, it's up to you." Su Shengsheng ignored the provocation in Su Nianwei's mouth.
But Su Yuanling's face was already filled with anger. "Why? What good will it do you to put me to death?"
Su Nianwei remained calm. "With the sudden change in our family, my fourth and sixth sisters are extremely anxious and want to get to the bottom of it. This is understandable. But how can I just take responsibility for something I didn't do?"
Su Yuanling was so angry that her face turned pale, but fortunately Su Shengsheng supported her in time.
"I know that Seventh Sister is hoping for the best. Maybe she thought you were not there when we scattered the fluorescent powder, or maybe she thought it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision on our part. However, only those who know that something big is going to happen today will be restless and walk around instead of peacefully embroidering and drinking tea. Seventh Sister, what do you think?" Su Shengsheng spoke sharply.
Su Nianwei's face was slightly stiff, but under the gaze of everyone, she quickly returned to normal, smiled calmly, and said no more.
The situation was unclear and there was a stalemate. Everyone fell silent and could only wait for the night to fall with Su Shengsheng.
Only Jiao and Su Yuanling looked at Su Nianwei, who had a calm expression, from time to time.
Finally, the night was as dark as ink and the wind was cold.
The footprints on the ground were clearly visible to everyone.
The footprints of everyone else were hurried into the hall in panic, but Su Nianwei and one of her maids' footprints strangely merged somewhere on the courtyard wall...
The people who followed the footprints all looked at Su Nianwei and the maid with a stern expression.
The old lady looked at the maid given to her by Jiao, and her face suddenly changed.
Aunts Tingwan and Xuwan acted quickly and subdued and tied up the maid.
Su Nianwei stood alone, watching all this quietly, "I just came here for a walk, there is nothing here."
Su Shengsheng's gaze fell on her slightly flexed wrist and the faintly visible scar somewhere. "I heard that Seventh Sister doesn't have a cat. Why is that?"
Her gaze lingered for a moment on the hole in the wall that could accommodate a wild cat, then turned to the two of them again.
"Search." She ordered in a deep voice.
