Mo Xiaoqing shrugged innocently, "Because for the time being, there seems to be no one else around me who would have the motive to keep targeting me!"
The man silently raised an eyebrow, and where Mo Xiaoqing couldn't see, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
Mo Xiaoqing still hasn't seen the man's face. She only finds his voice exceptionally unpleasant, extremely hoarse, and listening to it is torture for her ears.
But she couldn't care less about any of that at the moment!
His gaze was calm, and he asked directly, "If what happened in Yunnan was an accident, you could say it was an accident, but why did those two murders happen on the same day, so coincidentally?"
The man chuckled cryptically, then asked, "Why do you think those two murders could be related to me?"
Mo Xiaoqing replied with only those two words: "Intuition".
"Is this how Miss Mo usually solves cases? Does she just rely on her own preferences and intuition to condemn someone to death?"
"Miss Mo, have you ever considered that perhaps... I really didn't 'interfere' in either of these two cases, and that I was innocent from beginning to end?"
Mo Xiaoqing's lips twitched, showing no mercy whatsoever.
"..."
Honestly... saying that would sound like a big joke. It wasn't that she didn't want to control her facial expression; it's just that she couldn't help it...
Moreover, she felt that the man was not sincere when he said that, and it was more like he was teasing her... joking!
"I did do those things, and I don't need to shirk responsibility, but I really didn't directly 'intervene' in those two cases, and they...have little to do with me!"
Mo Xiaoqing finally understood the deeper meaning behind his words. He wasn't directly involved, but he must have played a role in fueling the situation...
only,
This outcome ultimately surprised him somewhat...
She curled her lips coldly.
"I don't know whether to praise you for your extraordinary talent, your exceptional intelligence, or your almost supernatural wisdom. Even from a thousand miles away, you still manage to keep everything firmly in your grasp!"
He had planned all of this meticulously, even down to how others might react, which she found somewhat terrifying!
The man heard the obvious sarcasm in her words, but surprisingly, he was not angry and was even honest enough to surprise her.
He nodded. "Yes, indeed. I roughly guessed that this would happen, but I didn't expect... that it would be exposed so quickly!"
The implication was that he had roughly guessed some of it, but the outcome was slightly beyond his expectations…
Mo Xiaoqing, "..."
There are always unexpected situations in this world. If he could have all his physical health restored, he would have been a fortune teller long ago. How could he have arranged so many paths like he did just now?
Isn't the purpose of prevention precisely to prevent other uncontrollable situations from occurring?
"May I ask what benefits you gain from doing this?"
"That's a good question, I need to think about it carefully!"
The man pondered for a moment. He turned to the side, resting his handsome right hand on his smooth chin, rubbing it incessantly with his thumb, as if he were thinking about her question.
He first met Mo Xiaoqing at a bar, and after being captivated by her beauty at first sight, he seemed to be relentlessly chasing after this ray of sunshine that didn't belong to him...
This time, a large number of people were mobilized, almost one-third of his life's manpower, financial resources and materials. Although it would not damage the foundation, it was still a considerable amount of money for them.
As expected, he ultimately uttered five words that were cold and ruthless!
"I may not get anything out of it, but it doesn't bother me at all!"
A man's nonchalant tone is like a silent statement that the world is truly boring, and therefore...
He needed to find something to do to pass the time.
"I only care about the result!"
The implication is that he doesn't care about the process, even if many people die or sacrifice a lot in the process, he doesn't care!
Mo Xiaoqing stared intently in the man's direction, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.
"I never imagined that one day I would become that kind of femme fatale who brings ruin to a country. For such a small role as me, so many people were mobilized, and many innocent people were hurt. Don't you feel ashamed of your brothers who obey your orders?"
"They eat my food, use my things, and I raise them to be strong so that they can be of use one day. Although losing so many people at once does hurt a little!"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since he still felt sorry for her, he probably wasn't a completely heartless person.
“I’m their employer. Isn’t it a transaction for them to risk their lives for me? It’s normal. What’s there to feel guilty about?”
"Isn't it incredibly unfair to wage such a large-scale war just for me alone, plunging the entire capital into panic and leaving corpses strewn everywhere?"
"You don't understand, but I think it's worth it!"
"I've been planning this for so long, and it wasn't easy to bring you into my world. No matter the cost, it's all worth it!"
"Even now, don't you regret it? Or do you only start to regret it when everyone around you dies because of this decision?"
