"See, you're feeling guilty now. You have no evidence to prove that you didn't push Xiao Si off the bridge. On the contrary, Xiang San saw you push Xiang Xiao Si off the bridge with his own eyes through the binoculars!"
He Su looked at Rong Zhaonan with a mocking expression and sneered.
Before Rong Zhaonan could answer, Xiang San suddenly turned and stared at her, a strange, fierce glint in his eyes, and smiled—
“He Su, I’ll settle Xiao Si’s score, but Sister Ye Qiu was originally my sister-in-law… Your daughter is eighteen this year, right? And she’s still a virgin, huh?”
He Su's smile froze instantly. She abruptly turned to look at Rong Zhaonan, gritting her teeth, and said, "Chao Bei is your sister! She hasn't offended you! Are you just going to watch him insult your sister?!"
Rong Zhaonan glanced coldly at Xiang San: "Threaten her with someone else. She has a son. It's useless to lay a hand on a woman."
He Su was stunned: "You..."
Xiang San was being held down by Chen Chen, but the eerie smile on his face grew even wider—
"Ah, right, I forgot. Your precious son is Rong Xiangdong. What a fine name. Dongzhu is noble. You're saying your precious son is going to become a eunuch? How noble can he be?"
He Su trembled, glaring angrily at Rong Zhaonan, and raised her voice: "Rong Zhaonan, how dare you... to Xiang Dong..."
"He's not my brother. Haven't you told him a thousand times that he's not my brother, and I'm not his brother? What does it matter to me what the old man thinks?"
Rong Zhaonan said indifferently.
He Su's face turned deathly pale, and she gritted her teeth as she looked at Xiang San: "Ye Qiu's matter, it's not..."
This time, Rong Zhaonan didn't intend to give her any room to argue. He raised his hand, signaling Chen Chen to push Xiang San out of the courtyard.
He then took Qian Laoyuan out as well.
However, ghostly figures had appeared in every corner of the courtyard at some unknown time, completely cutting off He Su's escape route.
He Su recalled the way Xiang San stared at her, and her mind went blank for a moment. She grabbed Aunt Xu tightly—
"Aunt Xu... Xiang San wants to deal with my Xiang Dong..."
Aunt Xu supported He Su, whose face was pale, and tenderly pressed a handkerchief against her injured shoulder: "Su Su... what were you doing just now? You were talking so incoherently! You were provoking them!"
Since Qian Laoyuan had already induced her to tell the truth, what's the point of Su Su's denial? Besides, it angered Rong Zhaonan and provoked that mad dog Xiang San!
"Slap!" He Su slapped Aunt Xu across the face.
The blow made Aunt Xu turn her face away.
Her gaze was dark and twisted as she stared at Aunt Xu: "Am I speaking incoherently, or are you more of a hindrance than a help? Didn't you say you had seven or eight people surrounding this house from all directions? Where are they? Huh? Where are they!"
She had made it clear that Qian Laoyuan would definitely not be able to leave this abandoned courtyard alive this time, which was why she spoke so threateningly.
"And the result?" He Su gritted her teeth.
As a result, she fell into Qian Laoyuan's trap of coercing her into confessing. She said too much and confessed without being asked!
Aunt Xu was fifty-six or fifty-seven years old. Her face was slapped in public, and she turned back with some embarrassment.
Her swollen face showed no anger, only guilt and helplessness: "Su Su...you saw those people with your own eyes before you came in..."
How could the people under their command possibly be a match for Rong Zhaonan and his group of soldiers?
Judging from this situation, Rong Zhaonan's men have probably already arrested their people.
Aunt Xu sighed: "This only proves that everything was Rong Zhaonan's trap—the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He released Qian Laoyuan just to deal with us!"
When exactly did Rong Zhaonan learn about the existence of Qian Laoyuan and his group, and how did he know that the incident between Ye Qiu and him back then was orchestrated by Su Su?
He Su closed his eyes and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "Yes, it's a trap, so I can only do my best to make the situation chaotic... Only by muddying the waters can I have a chance."
As for Rong Wenwu, as long as he didn't personally hear what she said...
Based on the irreconcilable conflict between her and Rong Zhaonan over the years, and based on her reputation as a good stepmother for so many years.
She had the ability to make the people in the compound and Rong Wenwu suspect that all of this was a misunderstanding or even a scheme by Rong Zhaonan to frame and retaliate against her.
As for calling the police... what's so scary about that? She's even afraid he won't call the police!
A single piece of evidence is insufficient; relying solely on Qian Laoyuan's testimony is insufficient to prove that she was the mastermind behind the case more than ten years ago.
So many years have passed, the physical evidence is long gone!
Xiang San did hear what she said with his own ears, but so what?
As long as Rong Zhaonan has no evidence to prove that Xiang Xiaosi was not pushed off the bridge, Xiang San will still hold a grudge against Rong Zhaonan.
Furthermore, Rong Zhaonan played a significant role in the downfall of the Xiang family.
Xiang San hates the Rong family and Rong Zhaonan to death, and there is absolutely no way she would act as a witness for Rong Zhaonan to prove that she was the mastermind behind Ye Qiu's death!
In fact, all those "stories" she just told about Rong Zhaonan and Ye Qiu were meant to keep Xiang San perpetually suspicious of Rong Zhaonan and unable to trust him.
Even if the Xiang family falls, a centipede dies but does not fall down; even if Xiang San is arrested, he will surely find a way to send messages out.
The remaining forces of the Xiang family will definitely cause Rong Zhaonan a lot of trouble, including dealing with his women!
But……
But who would have thought that Xiang San was a madman who couldn't distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions!
He Su touched the wound on her face, utterly bewildered, her eyes filled with hatred and rage—
"Xiang Sanming should have focused on dealing with Rong Zhaonan, but instead he's trying to take on my Xiang Dong for the sake of that idiot Ye Qiu who's been dead for so many years!"
