Yun Miao was startled by his own guess, and quickly swam out from the water plants where he was sleeping, looking in the direction where he first sensed the abnormality.
She is now in the form of a mermaid, and every aspect of her body has undergone tremendous changes, and her vision is not affected in the dark environment of the water.
However, Yun Miao did not find anything unusual, and he was a little skeptical about whether the information expressed by the fish he had just "heard" was true.
After a brief hesitation, Yun Miao closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly and emitted a silent sound wave, which quickly surged towards the distance. At the same time, a map of the lake bottom seemed to appear in Yun Miao's mind, and any place in the lake emerged in Yun Miao's mind.
Soon, Yun Miao opened his eyes and looked in one direction with a solemn look.
Someone actually came into the water. Was he looking for me?
Could it be that they discovered that I was a mermaid and came to capture me?
Thinking of this, Yun Miao's heartbeat accelerated a lot, but he soon forced it to calm down.
No, if they were here to arrest me because my identity was exposed, there wouldn't be just a few of them. They would definitely have set up a tight net around me to prevent me from escaping. So, they might have gone into the water for other reasons...
No matter what, I should get out of the water now and wait and see what happens.
Thinking of this, Yun Miao did not delay and quickly swam in the other direction.
Yun Miao was very fast in the water. In just a moment, he swam to the shore, avoiding the people who went into the water.
In a shadowy place where no light could reach, Yun Miao popped his head out, half of his face still hidden in the water, only a pair of big eyes exposed, looking around vigilantly.
She saw a lot of people gathered in the light on the distant shore. Yun Miao, who had excellent eyesight, spotted Feng Chengyuan in the crowd at a glance, and her heart tightened.
Why is he on the shore?
Also, why are so many of them gathering here in the middle of the night and not sleeping?
Thinking of the people who had just fallen into the water, an idea popped up in Yun Miao's mind.
Could it be that Feng Chengyuan thought that I fell into the water and drowned, so he sent someone to retrieve the body?
Yun Miao was a little curious, so she quietly swam closer. Anyway, those who had jumped into the water to rescue people had already swam far away, and no one would notice that she was in the water near the shore.
Hiding in a place where it was not easy to be discovered, Yun Miao secretly listened to the people talking on the shore. After listening for a while, Yun Miao figured out what had happened. She also saw Feng Yaoyao who threw her into the water at that time. She didn't know what clues Feng Chengyuan had found, but he actually pointed the finger at the real murderer so quickly.
Okay, it’s a little weird to say the real culprit, but that’s pretty close.
When Feng Yaoyao was being stared at by everyone, she shrank like a frightened deer, trying to find a place to hide, with obvious fear in her eyes. This reaction made some people who didn't know the truth instinctively conclude that such a timid girl could not do anything, and they began to look at Feng Chengyuan with suspicion.
"You mean, her?"
"Are you sure? What can she do?"
"Don't just find someone to take the blame if you can't find a reason. If you are going to find someone, find someone decent."
“…”
Feng Anchen and a few other guys who disliked Feng Chengyuan finally found an excuse to mock him. They obviously felt that Feng Chengyuan was embarrassed because he had searched for people with great fanfare but found nothing, so they prepared to find someone to take the blame, and then they found Feng Yaoyao, the person with the least presence in the Feng family.
Even Feng Zhen and others thought this was true, and the way they looked at Feng Chengyuan changed.
"Really? Then let her talk about it herself."
Feng Chengyuan didn't care what others thought of him. Instead, he kept staring at Feng Yaoyao, his eyes so sharp that it seemed as if he could see through the secrets hidden in people's hearts.
Feng Yaoyao's heartbeat quickened and her whole body was trembling slightly.
At this moment, it felt like there were two little people arguing in her heart. One was trembling and wishing he could find a place to hide himself so as not to be stared at by so many people, while the other was crazy and violent and wanted to dig out all the eyes that were staring at him.
"No, it's not me... it's none of my business."
Feng Yaoyao stood there in a daze for a long while before she seemed to finally react. She timidly retorted and looked at Feng Chengyuan. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, but disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Yuan, I am innocent, why do you doubt me?"
Feng Yaoyao, who was in the shadows, reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes, as if she was wiping away tears. Only a little of the light from the outside world fell on her, but it was enough for people to see that her thin body was trembling slightly, giving people a feeling of fragility and vulnerability.
Feng Qing stood up and said unhappily, "Chengyuan, don't talk nonsense. Yaoyao is my daughter. You are slapping me in the face by doubting her like this."
Although he never cared about this illegitimate daughter, she was still his blood, wasn't she? To doubt her was to doubt himself, wasn't that making Feng Qing very unhappy.
Feng Chengyuan did not comment and gestured directly to Butler Wu. Butler Wu immediately stepped forward and began to inquire about Feng Yaoyao's location at the time of the incident.
Yun Miao eavesdropped on what was happening in the water and knew that the black-hearted little loli was under suspicion. He immediately gave a thumbs up to Feng Chengyuan's cleverness.
But should I show up now?
If I show up and tell the truth, will anyone believe me?
Looking at Feng Yaoyao's innocent and pitiful appearance, if Yun Miao was not a victim, he would probably really believe that she was an innocent and simple little girl.
At this age and with such acting skills, if he were to enter the entertainment industry, people would say that he was blessed by God.
Just as I was hesitating, I heard Feng Yaoyao's crying voice.
"Brother Yuan, you said before that you would protect me, why are you doubting me now?"
"Brother Yuan, you have become a bad person too."
"You all bully me..."
Feng Yaoyao cried loudly and aggrievedly, which made others look at Feng Chengyuan with strange eyes. Some couldn't understand why Feng Yaoyao, the least visible member of the Feng family, was involved with Feng Chengyuan?
Feng Chengyuan himself was also confused, but his face did not show any abnormality.
However, Yun Miao in the water sighed twice, as if he had suddenly realized something.
There is something weird, absolutely something weird!
Why did that black-hearted little loli suddenly attack me? So this is where the problem lies?
It seems that I have suffered an unexpected disaster.
Yun Miao felt wronged, but she didn't say anything.
After listening to the noise for a while, Yun Miao saw that the bodyguards who had gone into the water to look for someone had begun to return. He thought that if he continued to stay in the water, these people would probably think he was dead, so he decided to quietly find a place to slip ashore.
