Chapter 422: Fake Sacrifice
But Jiang Yuan was not so compassionate. Since his assumption was true, the so-called life-saving grace no longer existed, and he no longer owed the Xue family anything.
"So, regarding the shooting five years ago, has Assistant Zhou found out anything?"
The time interval was too long, and the original murderer was locked up again. Jiang Yuan felt that it would be difficult to investigate in a short time.
As soon as she finished speaking, she could clearly see Yin Dong's face darken even more. "The only murderer involved in this case died in there three years ago."
Jiang Yuan's heart sank, and her hopes were suddenly dashed.
Only then did she realize why he looked so grim.
Even if all the speculations are logical, it is impossible to uncover Xue Guangkun's conspiracy without evidence.
Jiang Yuan: "Is there anyone else involved?"
He replied briefly, "I was abroad when the incident happened, it was very sudden, and the other party was alone. My father was handling this case. Xue Guangkun pinned the blame on another political enemy at the time. Not only did he kill with a borrowed knife, but he also killed two birds with one stone."
Jiang Yuan saw a gloom in his eyes, and she could feel the immense hatred that he was suppressing tightly.
If it was a carefully planned plan by the Xue family, of course the fewer people involved the better. After the incident, they would kill them without anyone knowing, and the conspiracy would never be revealed.
Jiang Yuan felt a chill all over her body. She seemed to understand why Yin Dong chose to leave the officialdom despite having a unique background. It was because he saw through the essence of these struggles and hated it all.
After a moment of silence, she reached out and shook his hand, "There is another person involved in this matter."
Yin Dong slowly lifted his eyelids towards her, as if he had guessed what she wanted to say. Jiang Yuan continued, "If I were Xue Qi, and Xue Guangkun sacrificed my love for me, and then controlled me for five years in a way that was almost like imprisonment, I think I would hate him."
"I can tell that Xue Qi is truly begging for your forgiveness. She's telling you that her life is like being in prison. Is that a sign that she's asking for help? I can tell that she truly still loves you, and that she was only being used by Xue Peng out of necessity. Her situation in the Xue family is dire. If you reach out to her now, I bet she'll throw herself into your arms. She'll want to stay away from the Xue family's control, and she might even reveal the truth about the shooting herself..."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, not noticing at all that Yin Dong's face was growing darker.
"Stop, you want to sacrifice me?"
He looked at her with cold eyes.
"Fake sacrifice," Jiang Yuan thought, her mind agitated, but her voice remained calm. "How about we play a fake game with them? All you need is the evidence we need from Xue Qi. Xue Peng is using a divisive tactic, so we'll play along. I'll break up with you, pretending we've parted ways, and spread the word. You can then take advantage of this opportunity to 'get back together' with Xue Qi."
The more she analyzed it, the more she felt that this method was very feasible.
"no."
Yin Dong refused outright, "Don't even think about it."
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and patiently advised him, "Now there's only one key witness left, Xue Qi. If you can't get evidence, are you going to swallow this? I can't. I hate the Xue family so much now. They're so treacherous and cunning, like a nest of snakes and rats. Now, new hatreds and old grudges are added together. We must wipe them out completely."
As she spoke, she became excited, sitting cross-legged on the bed, her little face flushed red, and a murderous look flashed in her eyes.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at her deeply. His lips loosened as he glanced at her face and asked, "Jiang Yuan, were you a wanderer in your previous life?"
Jiang Yuan's expression also relaxed: "Maybe we can become sworn brothers."
