Chapter 1615: She Was the One Implicated

Xu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and replied, "There's no need for that, is there?"

"It is necessary. This treatment will be more painful, so you'll have to endure it. Who told you to move around so much!"

Liu Xin'ai said, and then dragged Xu Xiaoxiao away.

As for Jiang Chenghao, he hesitated for a moment and did not follow.

Seeing his restless expression, Qin Yiyan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know you're anxious, but Xu Xiaoxiao's panic and fear are far greater than yours."

Jiang Chenghao was quiet for a while before saying, "I know, but she is also too willful."

In this evaluation, there was helplessness, frustration, and an accusation tinged with grievance.

Qin Yiyan could understand his thoughts, but had to remind him: "If you want to persuade Xu Xiaoxiao to change her mind, you need to adjust your own emotions first, otherwise the two of you will only end up arguing."

These words were very true.

Hadn't Xu Xiaoxiao and Jiang Chenghao almost started arguing already?

But in the current situation, wanting to adjust one's own emotions... is really quite difficult.

Jiang Chenghao gave a wry smile and said, "I'll try."

"Mm, this isn't something to rush; you can give yourself a day to calm down."

Jiang Chenghao nodded, then turned his head to look over, saying with emotion: "I never thought there would be a day when I'd be accepting your guidance."

Hmm...

Why did that sound so awkward?

Qin Yiyan thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked: "What do you mean? Looking down on me?"

"No, I just think the world is unpredictable; even the straightforward Qin Yiyan can bring me surprises."

The point Jiang Chenghao wanted to make had not changed.

But after changing the way he expressed it, Qin Yiyan accepted it immediately.

This language is truly profound.

At the same time, upstairs, Liu Xin'ai was also demonstrating the charm of language.

She was persuading Xu Xiaoxiao, trying to put her at ease.

But the effect... was not very obvious.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat there and muttered aggrievedly: "I was just making a suggestion. If there were a better plan, it's not like I absolutely had to take the risk."

"But the plan you mentioned so casually is no different from stabbing a knife into Cheng Hao's heart."

"Then... couldn't he have talked to me properly instead of being fierce with me!"

Xu Xiaoxiao hung her head, feeling more aggrieved the more she thought about it.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xin'ai shook her head.

Afterward, she took out the medicine kit.

Seeing Liu Xin'ai take out the medicine kit, Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

Then, she asked tentatively: "Are you really changing it?"

Liu Xin'ai said as a matter of course: "Since the words are already out, the act must be played out in full."

"Better not, that's really... ah!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard and pressed by Liu Xin'ai on the wound, and immediately let out a scream.

After the pain subsided a little, Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Liu Xin'ai in confusion.

Liu Xin'ai smiled and said: "I told you, we have to play the act in full."

"... Xin'ai, why bother!"

"It's still necessary; only then can someone feel more sorry for you."

Liu Xin'ai said, replacing the outer layer of gauze bandaging the wound.

Her movements were fast and light, not hurting Xu Xiaoxiao at all.

But Xu Xiaoxiao still had lingering fears from that press just now.

So she kept staring cautiously.

Seeing her like this, Liu Xin'ai said amusedly: "Alright, I won't play dirty again. Besides, that scream of yours was enough to make someone feel sorry for you."

"So this is actually a chain of bitter-meat ploys."

"Something like that, but he feels sorry for you even when you only suffer a minor injury; if you really put yourself in danger, would he even be able to live?"

This sounded like a joke from Liu Xin'ai.

But after hearing it, Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Once the wound was treated, Liu Xin'ai and Xu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room.

At this moment, the atmosphere outside was no longer as tense as before.

The look in Jiang Chenghao's eyes when he looked at Xu Xiaoxiao had also returned to tenderness.

As for everyone else, they tacitly did not bring up the matter of using oneself as bait again.

It's just that... staying to play any longer was also impossible.

Taking advantage of the fact that it wasn't dark yet, everyone took their respective cars and left the Shanzhuang, ending this journey full of twists and turns.

Li Beijue was the last to leave because he still had things to explain to his subordinates.

When he had finished explaining everything, he walked to the car.

At this time, Jiang Baobao was standing outside.

Li Beijue smiled and waved at Jiang Baobao, saying: "Get in the car."

Jiang Baobao did not move, but said: "The children are asleep in the car."

"Mm, I'll have the driver drive steadily."

"But I have something to ask you; let's talk outside so we don't disturb the children."

Jiang Baobao's expression was somewhat serious, and Li Beijue also put away his smile, waiting for his wife to speak.

"Tell me, what exactly did you find out?"

Li Beijue curled his lips and asked, "How did you know I found something?"

"With your methods, you would certainly be able to find clues from those unlucky fellows; even if there were no clues, you could still deduce something through roundabout connections."

Jiang Baobao's tone was firm; she trusted her judgment very much.

And in fact, it really was like that.

Li Beijue held Jiang Baobao's hand and sighed, "In this world, it's still my wife who understands me best!"

"So, hurry and tell me the answer!"

Seeing that Jiang Baobao was truly anxious, Li Beijue didn't deliberately keep her in suspense and said directly, "I suspect this matter is related to the owner of that website."

Hearing this hypothesis made Jiang Baobao frown.

She asked, "Wasn't that person already punished? How can they still be so persistent?"

"Having been messed with for no reason and suffering such a huge loss, of course he hates it. Since he can't track me or Jiang Chenghao, he can only try to trace it back through Xu Xiaoxiao."

So, Xu Xiaoxiao was implicated by them!

Sigh!

Jiang Baobao sighed, then said, "We cannot stand by and watch."

"That is for certain."

Previously, Li Beijue had thought that hiding his identity would mean less trouble.

As it turned out, they had reduced their own trouble, but poor Xu Xiaoxiao had become the unlucky one.

Li Beijue could not use a friend as a shield.

Therefore... he would go all the way, and taking advantage of this opportunity, he would ruthlessly trample that ant-like fellow under his feet!

Jiang Baobao felt a flash of ruthlessness pass through the depths of Li Beijue's eyes.

This made her heart jump violently, and she hurriedly called out, "Husband, do you have an idea?"

Hearing his wife's voice, Li Beijue calmed down in an instant and nodded.

"What is it?"

"I think that plan of Xu Xiaoxiao's is not bad."

Xu Xiaoxiao's plan...

Jiang Baobao thought of something and frowned, saying, "You still say that? Didn't you see Xiao Xiao almost get into an argument with the uncle?"

"I only said the plan was good; I didn't say to let Xu Xiaoxiao be the bait."

Not use Xu Xiaoxiao as bait?

Jiang Baobao pondered for a moment, then raised her eyebrows: "You want to find a girl with a similar build to Xiao Xiao to lure the enemy into the trap!"

Li Beijue leaned over and kissed Jiang Baobao on the forehead, then smiled and praised, "Smart!"

This kiss of his made Jiang Baobao's forehead feel a bit itchy.

Raising her hand to rub it, Jiang Baobao quickly analyzed it in her mind.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice laced with a hint of danger: "What did you just say? Say it again."
