Liu Xing knew that the people in front of her were definitely not joking; they really had the ability to kill her before she could even open her mouth.
"What do you want?" Liu Xing asked warily, still looking at the people in front of her.
"I already told you, we're here to save your life, why don't you believe me?" Qu Qingxi pulled up a chair and sat down, while He Liufeng stood behind her like a guard, alert to their surroundings.
Seeing Liu Xing's disbelief, Qu Qingxi also stopped smiling, sat up straight and looked at the person in front of her, "Today, you and Liu's mother went to the palace and met the emperor. Not only that, but someone also asked you questions."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing's eyes widened as she stared at the people in front of her. How did they know? However, considering their skills, their identities were probably not simple either.
"Don't be surprised, of course I know everything. I also know that you lied before the Emperor." Qu Qingxi finished speaking and squinted at the person in front of her.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xing quickly took two steps back, looking at the woman in front of her in horror. She actually knew this.
“Xu Xingfeng did come to Yichun Tower that night, and he was in your room. However, he left for a while and wasn’t here. So, you’re not sure where Xu Xingfeng went or what he did that night, are you?”
"What exactly do you want?" Liu Xing interrupted the person in front of her in a low voice.
"I don't want to do anything, I just want you to tell me the truth."
"The truth is that I was with Young Master Xu that night." Liu Xing's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly, but she still stubbornly insisted.
"Heh." Qu Qingxi curled her lips and chuckled lightly, "You're so eager to protect him, but do you know that the person you're protecting will kill you tonight?"
"Impossible!" Liu Xing retorted loudly.
"Impossible? What's impossible about it? Liu Xing, you know what kind of person Xu Xingfeng is. If something really happens, what makes you think you can guarantee that he will never lay a hand on you? A sincere heart?"
The more Qu Qingxi spoke, the paler Liu Xing's face became, and the more her body trembled.
“Miss Liu Xing, I guess you know a lot about Xu Xingfeng’s secrets. Do you think someone of his status would leave his secrets in someone else’s hands? I believe you also know that only the dead can keep secrets completely.”
Seeing that Liu Xing still didn't speak, but her expression had begun to soften, Qu Qingxi continued, "I might as well tell you that today's events were avoided because of your testimony."
"Well, you also said that if I die, there will be no one to testify for him. So, not only will he not kill me, but he will also send people to protect me." Liu Xing's mind worked very quickly.
“Yes, anyone would think the same way.” Qu Qingxi nodded in agreement. “The fact that you can think of this shows that you are a smart person. Think about it again, if you died, wouldn’t people subconsciously think that Xu Xingfeng’s rival killed you?”
Seeing Liu Xing deep in thought, Qu Qingxi spoke again, "So everyone will think that someone wanted to kill you on purpose. In that case, your testimony needs to be verified. What will the person above think?"
Originally, he would have suspected Xu Xingfeng, but once you're dead, he'll realize Xu Xingfeng's innocence and that the whole thing was a scheme by someone else to harm him.
"Now, do you still think that Xu Xingfeng wants to protect you?" Qu Qingxi's voice carried a hint of seduction.
Liu Xing had completely figured it out. Yes, she was the only one who could prove Xu Xingfeng's innocence. If she died, the person in charge would only think that Xu Xingfeng's rival had resorted to desperate measures and killed the only witness to harm Xu Xingfeng. At the same time, the suspicion against Xu Xingfeng would be reduced considerably.
More importantly, no one would think she died at Xu Xingfeng's hands.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing broke out in a cold sweat, and she looked up at the two people opposite her.
What do you want?
"I told you, we're here to save your life. If I'm not mistaken, Xu Xingfeng will make his move against you tonight. Then you'll know whether we were lying to you or not."
"Then what should I do?" Although Liu Xing liked Xu Xingfeng, she cherished her life even more. If she lost her life, then she would lose everything.
"I have an antidote pill here. If Xu Xingfeng really wants to kill you, he will definitely poison your food or drink. You just need to cooperate and fall down. After he leaves, we will take you away from here to explain the truth to the person above." Qu Qingxi took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Liu Xing.
"What if he makes a move directly?" Liu Xing was filled with fear. She didn't want to die at all. If Xu Xingfeng really wanted to make a move, he could just kill her with one sword.
"Don't worry, given his vicious nature, he's very likely to poison you. However, we'll be hiding in the shadows, and even if he does make a direct move, we'll save you."
“Alright, I believe you. However, if you want me to testify against Xu Xingfeng, I have one more condition: I need to leave this place.” Liu Xing nodded. She knew in her heart that the two people in front of her must be Xu Xingfeng’s enemies. She had to take this opportunity to leave, otherwise, the Xu family would not let her go.
“That’s acceptable, but you have to offer something of value in exchange. You know exactly what that valuable thing means.” Qu Qingxi didn’t hesitate. Of course, she had other plans for coming here today.
“I understand. I have the letters that Xu Xingfeng and another person passed on to each other.”
Upon hearing this, Qu Qingxi exchanged a glance with He Liufeng. They had never expected that Liu Xing would have such a thing in her possession; it was truly an unexpected delight.
"Their letters will be left with you? Miss Liu Xing, don't try to fool us." Qu Qingxi narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of danger in them.
"Liu Xing wouldn't dare. I learned a skill in elementary school and I'm good at imitating other people's handwriting. I was worried that someone might harm me, so the letter I handed over was a copy. I kept the original letter," Liu Xing quickly explained.
“Very good, Miss Liu Xing. As long as what you say is true, once this matter is over, I will promise to give you a completely new identity, send you away from here, and also give you some money as a settlement.”
Qu Qingxi and He Liufeng have confirmed that the person who secretly met with Zhou Wenli was Xu Xingfeng. Therefore, the letters exchanged between the two must be related to the matters they discussed. If this letter really exists, the Xu family is probably doomed.
