Chapter 256 I Trust You the Most
In the tree house at night, Xiao Xun, Qi Yuanchuan, Bai Ze, Li Yuan, and Old Xu gathered together, facing the burning brazier in front of them, discussing how to solve Ye Li's problem.
Bai Ze was very happy to participate in such interesting things and actively spoke up, "Actually, it's very simple to solve this matter! Just tie up the two Song Lu brothers and torture them severely. I guarantee they will confess everything about how old they were when they wet the bed."
Xiao Xun rarely agreed with Bai Ze's thoughts. He said, "Indeed, the two Song brothers are the most suspicious in this whole thing. How could they let Winnie bite them when they were fine? Winnie was trained by Xiaomu and Xixi. They said Winnie was very obedient, which is definitely true. And that Second Elder has been fanning the flames all the time, as if he can't wait for this to get out of hand."
Li Yuan laughed and said, "Brother Xiao Xun, that kick you gave him today was really bad!"
"Yes," said Elder Xu, who had just returned from treating the Second Elder. "His waist is broken and swollen. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for months. You were really cruel!"
Xiao Xun raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
"Hehe..." Everyone laughed softly.
Qi Yuanchuan, who had remained silent the entire time, said, "I think this matter shouldn't be publicized too much. Since they did it, they must have been very careful and left no trace. If we can't find evidence, we can't prove Ye Li's innocence."
"Why not just walk into a trap?" Xiao Xun said.
Qi Yuanchuan glanced at Xiao Xun. As brothers for many years, there was a tacit understanding between them. He could guess each other's thoughts at a glance.
"Why are you luring me into a trap?" Bai Ze asked, puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to just be ruthless? Why make it so complicated?"
Qi Yuanchuan laughed at him and said, "With your limited intelligence, it's no wonder you're in this state now."
"Heh..." Bai Ze fiercely threw the wood chips he was playing with into the brazier. He glared at Qi Yuanchuan and said, "How are you any better than me?"
"Alright." Xiao Xun said unhappily, "It's already this late, what's there to argue about? My idea is to set a trap and lure these people into it."
"Oh?" Mr. Xu was very interested: "Please tell me in detail."
Xiao Xun explained in detail, "I've checked. The two Song Lu brothers are the Second Elder's nephews. I'm afraid they are the Second Elder's minions. And the Second Elder is so happy, it's definitely not just targeting Ye Li. I think he has his eyes on the position of the Great Elder."
"No way!" Li Yuan, the only original resident of the forest tribe in the tree house, was shocked. He said, "How come I didn't see that the Second Elder had such an idea?"
"Ye Li has recently run the farm very successfully. So many people in the tribe are grateful to Ye Li. I'm sure you've sensed Ye Li's reputation in the tribe," Xiao Xun said.
Li Yuan thought about it and nodded: "Indeed. Who doesn't like Ye Li now? Of course, except for those women who regard Ye Li as a rival in love."
"Hehe..." Bai Ze laughed out loud, but when he saw Xiao Xun staring at him, he immediately covered his mouth.
"So the Second Elder is afraid that Ye Li will threaten him, so he wants to find a way to get rid of Ye Li?" Old Xu analyzed.
"Yes." Qi Yuanchuan continued Xiao Xun's words, "If Ye Li is eliminated, the threat posed by the Second Elder will be eliminated, and we will have achieved a great achievement. After all, we have captured the spy left here by the Mountaintop Tribe."
"But the Great Elder is in good health, so it's still too early to choose the next Great Elder," said Li Yuan.
"Has the Great Elder been in poor health recently?" Xiao Xun asked Old Xu. These days, Old Xu always ran to the Great Elder. On the surface, he said that the two old men had something to talk about, but he didn't think that was the case.
