Chapter 229: Dangerous Criminal Convicted
Xiehan’s lips twitched when she cursed. She had just blurted out the name of the person he also thought must be behind this. Since they both thought of him, it must really be him. What did he want? Because if he was thinking of trying to drive a wedge between him and Lanni...
Xiehan suddenly wanted to grab someone by his ponytail and fling him across the street.
"What did you guys talk about?" He changed the topic before he could really look for him and break his hands or give him a black eye.
Lanni didn’t want to talk about what happened either. "He urged me to investigate Li Xiyan. He thinks the same as us—that Li Xiyan blackmailed Luna. I don’t know why he cares but..." Xiehan turned to raise an eyebrow as she continued, "I think he has a point. But how do I even go about doing such a suicidal task?"
Xiehan’s chest vibrated from his slight silent laugh and Lanni realized what she had just said. "Fine. I agree, I was courting death in the past when I agreed to investigate her. But how should I go and court death for a second time?"
Xiehan pulled up into Li Yuming’s compound. After stopping the car, he turned to face her and took her hand into his. "Honey, you will be courting trouble if you do it on your own. But if we do it together, we will bring her down."
"How can you be so confident when... ow!" She frowned and yelped when Xiehan suddenly flicked her forehead.
"Honey, are you doubting your man’s abilities?"
"Of course not. I know what you can do better than anyone. However, Xiehan..." Lanni felt her head hurt just from thinking about it. "This woman managed to do everything sneakily. We were all working together—all five of us. But she still managed to do everything sneakily and have her way while we didn’t even know what happened until it was too late."
Xiehan couldn’t refute her point, but he couldn’t agree either. "That’s why we should work harder this time. I refuse to believe that one woman could beat all of our combined effort a second time."
Lanni said nothing, but she still thought they might not be able to beat Li Xiyan.
