At this point, Guo Zexin swallowed hard and continued.
"And the goddess, she..."
Guo Zexin was a little unsure how to continue, after all, the matter was rather unbelievable.
"The goddess seems to be a mermaid. She wants to destroy this island, saying that the island is not worthy of existing in this world."
Shen Zhiyi tapped the table and clicked her tongue, "After all that talking, it seems like you haven't gotten to the point at all."
"For example, what does the goddess look like, and where is she now?"
Guo Zexin blinked. "I... I don't know. With my status, how could I possibly meet the Goddess?"
“Every time we went to see the goddess, she was sitting behind a curtain, so we couldn’t see her, let alone find any trace of her.”
Jiang Ming stuffed a snack into his mouth, his words muffled, "In my opinion, this guy is completely useless; we won't get anything out of him anyway."
“That makes sense.” Nalan Zhao nodded.
Guo Zexin panicked. He had already said everything he needed to say, so why did they still want to kill him?
"So Jiang Ming, do you have any influence in Nanzhen? You can take him over to the mayor of Nanzhen to deal with him."
Shen Zhiyi didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so it was better to leave this matter to Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming nodded. "Okay, I'll take the person over to deal with it."
Guo Zexin shouted, "No, I've already confessed, why can't you let me go!"
"Shut up, if you have something to say, go talk to Mayor Nanzhen." Jiang Ming casually picked up a rag from the table and stuffed it into Guo Zexin's mouth, who was making a lot of noise.
Then they took him away.
"Sister, what are you planning to do next?" Nalan Zhao asked.
"Let's wait for He Jiajia and see what kind of trouble she can cause."
After Jiang Ming returned, the three of them discussed it for a while, and then Shen Zhiyi went out alone.
The person who had been secretly watching Shen Zhiyi followed her after she left.
Shen Zhiyi went to find Wang Qianyu.
In front of the small shop, Shen Zhiyi went up and knocked on the door.
Two minutes later, the door opened from the inside, and one of Wang Qianyu's eyes peeked out.
What are you doing here?
Wang Qianyu still remembered Shen Zhiyi, but she didn't understand why Shen Zhiyi would come back after she had already rejected her.
"Can we talk?" Shen Zhiyi asked gently, her tone pleading.
Wang Qianyu fell silent; she didn't want to talk to anyone.
Shen Zhiyi was naturally aware of this, so she increased her stakes.
“I know He Zhou.”
Wang Qianyu's eyes widened, her heart skipped a beat, and then she looked at Shen Zhiyi with even more vigilance, "What do you want to say?"
“I’m here to help you,” Shen Zhiyi added. “I wasn’t sent by He Jiajia.”
"What do you have that I can trust?" Wang Qianyu still wouldn't budge; she didn't trust Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi continued, "He Jiajia is not a biological child of the He family."
Upon hearing this, Wang Qianyu finally believed her. After thinking for a while, she finally opened the door a little to let Shen Zhiyi in.
"Come in."
Shen Zhiyi followed Wang Qianyu into the shop.
The person who had been following Shen Zhiyi was startled, not expecting that she actually had the ability to get into Wang Qianyu's shop.
He immediately turned around and contacted He Jiajia in Central Town.
The shop still had the items that had been sold before, and it was very clean, but there was no light inside.
Only in the place where Wang Qianyu usually stayed was there a small lamp placed.
Wang Qianyu got a chair for Shen Zhiyi and made her sit down, then sat down in her usual spot.
"What do you want to talk about?" Wang Qianyu poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Shen Zhiyi. After thinking for a moment, she got up and went to the shelf in front to get some snacks.
Wang Qianyu pushed the item towards Shen Zhiyi, saying, "It hasn't been sold for quite a while, but the item isn't damaged."
Shen Zhiyi didn't reply, but instead put one in her mouth to show her attitude.
"Do you know something? Is that why He Jiajia disfigured you?"
Wang Qianyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."
"At first, I didn't know that He Zhou was from the He family in Central Town, nor did I know that he was He Jiajia's brother. It was by chance that I found out."
“He Jiajia has been to Nanzhen before.”
Wang Qianyu paused for a moment at this point.
"I have an older sister who is very, very good to me. We have depended on each other since we were little."
At this point, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little strange. Didn't those people say that Wang Qianyu was...?
Wang Qianyu noticed Shen Zhiyi's confusion and explained, "My sister and I have different surnames. She takes my mother's surname, and I take my father's surname."
"Everyone thought we were just friends and therefore close; no one thought we were sisters."
"When He Jiajia came to Nanzhen, she ran into some thugs, but she was alone and was almost raped. My sister happened to be passing by and saved her."
"But there were too many thugs, so they could only run. In the end, they couldn't escape, and it was He Jiajia who pushed my sister over."
"So, my sister died, she was raped to death, and when I found her, there wasn't a single good piece of flesh on her body."
"Later, I met He Zhou. He was very good to me, and I liked him very much. He wanted me to go to Nanzhen with him, but I didn't go. I wanted to wait here for He Jiajia to reappear."
Later, He Zhou suddenly asked to meet me. I was surprised that we would meet in the woods near Nanzhen, but I didn't think much of it and went.
Unexpectedly, the person waiting for me there was He Jiajia, a He Jiajia I had remembered for four or five years.
He Jiajia recognized me from her brother's phone because my sister and I look quite alike.
So she used Hezhou as an excuse to lure me out. She was afraid I would reveal that she had caused my sister's death. She wanted to kill me, but I escaped.
But in return, I was disfigured, and my voice was ruined.
Wang Qianyu's voice was a little hoarse.
“I had been investigating her even before she left Nanzhen, and I learned that she was not the He family’s biological daughter, but that she was the Hong family’s daughter.”
In Nanzhen, there are remnants of the Hong family.
That time, she came to see the Hong family.
"But I never expected that she would be He Zhou's sister. It's ridiculous."
What's even more ridiculous is that He Zhou believed He Jiajia's words and thought I was vain and greedy, and that I was only with him for money.
As she spoke, Wang Qianyu laughed, a laugh filled with desolation.
Although Wang Qianyu's words were somewhat incoherent, Shen Zhiyi understood them and wondered why He Jiajia was so hostile towards Wang Qianyu.
"I came here this time because his brother is a bit of a nutcase. He seems to have designs on me, and He Jiajia probably wants to kill me right now."
Wang Qianyu glanced at Shen Zhiyi, then lowered her head again, "That's typical of her."
"After I was disfigured, I inquired about He Jiajia. He Jiajia doesn't allow girls to appear around He Zhou."
