The area behind them had been cordoned off by the Bureau of Demon Management, preventing the mudslide from spreading further.
Everyone was exhausted from running. Seeing this, they simply sat down on the ground or lay down on the ground, completely drained.
Lu Haotian steered his wheelchair to meet Lu Mengmeng, who was jogging towards him.
He asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
After all, she's a fairy who can fight so many corpse demons by herself, so she must be quite strong.
Lu Mengmeng used her dirty little paws to stroke the hair on her face.
As a result, his face was covered in gray marks, but he was completely unaware of it.
He grinned and said, "Mengmeng is a fully grown demon, of course she'll be fine!"
Lu Haotian remained noncommittal and used his hand to wipe the dirt off Lu Mengmeng's face.
He secretly grumbled to himself.
He didn't know what fairies were like after they grew up. But among humans, no adult would wipe their face with dirty paws.
"It's good that you're alright. The people from the Demon Management Bureau have arrived. Let's go back now."
Lu Mengmeng nodded and was about to follow Lu Haotian.
Just then, Bai Tiantian, who had been cuddling with Wei Qishan, suddenly turned around and glared angrily at Zhou Kai, who had just run up to them.
He roared, "Why did you deliberately let Chen Nianjin go?"
Do you know you almost killed little Mengmeng just now?
At this moment, Bai Tiantian was no longer the fairy-like figure she used to be; her clothes were all wrinkled and messy.
No matter how you look at it, he's a slovenly wretch.
With that outfit, his roar had even less of an intimidating effect.
However, those who were fleeing for their lives all saw that Lu Mengmeng almost perished in the mudslide.
Chen Nianjin has already passed away.
Then she thought back to how Zhou Kai had always been the one pulling Chen Nianjin along.
Could it be that he let go of Chen Nianjin not because Chen Nianjin struggled too much, but because there was another reason?
All eyes were on Zhou Kai.
Some expressed disdain, some mockery, and some understanding.
Zhou Kai's gaze swept over these people.
Even if it were these people, they might not have pulled Chen Nianjin out of the way if they encountered a madwoman like her.
But when it comes to other people, they can condemn him with an air of superiority and righteous indignation.
Zhou Kai even found these people somewhat amusing.
But he still remembered his public persona.
He was with Chen Nianjin for the sake of the Chen family. Even now that Chen Nianjin is gone, the Chen family cannot be offended.
Therefore, he cannot bear the label of "intentionally".
Zhou Kai looked at Bai Tiantian with a gloomy expression.
“I’m also very sad that Nianjin had an accident.”
She was in such a bad state at the time, how could I deliberately let go of her?
Bai Tiantian wouldn't let it go.
"Of course it's because you feel she's a burden to you."
I'd rather he just die!
Zhou Kai's expression turned slightly angry upon hearing her words.
It was as if he was barely suppressing his anger.
With a face full of grief and indignation, he said, "Do you think that Nianjie and I have no feelings for each other, which is why I resorted to this tactic?"
But don't you think about it? I'm a business elite in the financial world, with a bright future ahead of me.
Not that I'm arrogant, but I think I'm pretty good-looking.
Several wealthy young ladies are pursuing me. And there are even more with better tempers than Nianjin.
The reason I'm with him is naturally because I love her.
In that situation, knowing that letting her go might cause her harm, how could I let her die?
Seeing Bai Tiantian's disbelief, Zhou Kai slumped his shoulders in exasperation.
Somewhat dejected, he said, "Fine, just assume I did it for money. But without a plan, where would I get the money? Even if it were for money, I wouldn't let her go to her death, don't you think?"
This line of reasoning is clearly much more credible than the previous one.
None of the people present knew that Zhou Kai had already bought a large insurance policy for Chen Nianjin.
Before appearing on the show, he had Chen Nianjin draft a will, with him as the beneficiary.
You think that Zhou Kai is the one who lives a life of luxury and least wants Chen Nianjin to die.
The director, who had been standing nearby since earlier, noticed the tense atmosphere between the two.
He quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Sweetie, this was an accident. Nobody knew we'd encounter a hill climb today."
Xiao Zhou was also too heartbroken because of his wife's death.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
Little Mengmeng is alright now, isn't she?
The implication is that Chen Nianjin is already dead, so what's the point of pursuing these matters now?
Bai Tiantian naturally knew that pursuing these matters now was pointless, but she was just too angry.
She pointed at Zhou Kai, glaring at the director with a look of resentment.
He shouted loudly, "If he hadn't let go of Chen Nianjin..."
Will Chen Nianjin push Xiao Mengmeng down and almost die in the mudslide?
"The child is so young, what if something happens to him?"
"Hiss—!" Everyone present ran back from all directions.
Moreover, in their haste to escape, apart from a few people near Lu Mengmeng, no one looked back.
Not many people saw the scene where Chen Nianjin pushed Lu Mengmeng.
Upon hearing Bai Tiantian's explanation, everyone gasped in shock.
What kind of hatred or grudge could lead someone to do such a heinous thing?
When Lu Haotian heard that Chen Nianjin had pushed Lu Mengmeng into the mudslide, his heart tightened.
However, thinking that the little guy wasn't seriously injured, I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He held Lu Mengmeng in his arms and gently rubbed her head.
"Are you alright? Were you scared?"
Lu Mengmeng's eyes darted around when she saw Lu Haotian's concerned expression.
Her little face immediately wrinkled up.
