Chapter 307: Newlywed Husband Is Dead
“Actually, we didn’t…” Ye Shengge couldn’t help explaining.
It was reasonable if something had happened, but she and Ji Shiting hadn’t done anything yet.
“I understand, sister-in-law.” Qiao Yanze nodded solemnly. “I knew it. This guy doesn’t have that ability!”
“That’s right. I was going to do it again, but you interrupted me,” Ji Shiting said calmly. He glanced at Li Yinian, then at Qiao Yanze. “I know you don’t have it easy.”
As a bad friend, Qiao Yanze immediately understood what he meant.
Ye Shengge glared at Ji Shiting.
However, he didn’t stop. He took off the kettle from the stove and asked, “Tell me, how did you two end up together?”
Qiao Yanze looked amused. “Did you know? Xiao Cheng is dead.”
Li Yinian’s shuddered.
Ji Shiting wasn’t surprised. “Xiao Ruilang did it.”
“That’s right.” Qiao Yanze sneered. “We all know that he’s been upset with Xiao Cheng for a long time, but no one expected him to be so ruthless. Most importantly, when did he start plotting? He wasn’t involved in the planning of Xiao Cheng’s wedding. So how did Xiao Ruilang do it? It looks like we;ve underestimated him.”
“Not just that.” Ji Shiting’s handsome face was more mysterious under the glow of the fire. “I’m afraid the entire political and business situation in Yang City will be changed because of this. If I’m not wrong, anyone who doesn’t get along with him or anyone who can stop him from taking power, especially the relatives of the Xiao family, will most likely die in this accident.”
Qiao Yanze recalled what had happened before they boarded the yacht and nodded. “He seemed crazy, but he actually calculated every step clearly. Using this accident, he eliminated his dissidents and won over the rich and powerful. He even wiped himself clean… Huh.”
“Where’s Shuhang?” Ji Shiting asked.
“He got on the lifeboat successfully.” Qiao Yanze’s expression was cold. “He found me and told me what you said. I found her in the room. She was unconscious on the ground, and Xiao Cheng was already dead. She would have died on the cruise ship and become the culprit behind Xiao Cheng’s death if I hadn’t brought her out.”
Qiao Yanze gazed at Li Yinian, his expression one of self-mocking.
Li Yinian’s face was pale. She finally said, “I fainted the moment I entered the room.”
“Fortunately, Xiao Ruilang can’t push the blame to you since you are alive,” Ji Shiting commented objectively. “After all, everyone at the wedding can tell that you’re sincere to Xiao Cheng. Other than you, Xiao Ruilang is the next prime suspect. He might not be able to get out unscathed.”
“That’s right. Really sincere.” Qiao Yanze smiled. “How does Ms. Li feel about her newlywed husband dying?”
Li Yinian didn’t seem to hear his sarcasm at all. She stared at the fire blankly.
Ye Shengge couldn’t help patting her and consoling her.
However, when she put her hand on her back, she realized that she was surprisingly thin, and she seemed to be overwhelmed.
