Chapter 505 - 470: Already Provoked
After listening to Xie Ming’s words, Wu Li remained unmoved.
He had always disliked the notion of "I’m doing this for your own good, you must cooperate with me," especially considering that for the sake of Xie Ming’s "ideal", so many innocent people had died—people who died protecting Xie Ming. Just thinking about it made Wu Li feel sick!
"Why do the people from Le Yuan want to kill you now?" Wu Li asked.
Xie Ming calmed himself and then said, "I don’t know why they want to kill me. Tonight, I thought it was just an act, like the previous times, until someone threw a grenade at me—that’s when I knew they wanted to kill me!"
Wu Li: "An act?"
Xie Ming: "If the criminals had just kidnapped those who opposed me and then stopped, it would have been too obvious. Many people within the association would suspect me. So, I had to make sure the act was complete, allowing the perpetrators to continue attacking me. That way, I could clear myself of suspicion and use the external pressure to further push for reforms and accept help from Le Yuan."
"I just didn’t expect you to suddenly show up," Xie Ming said, looking somberly at Wu Li.
If Wu Li hadn’t come, Xie Ming would probably be discussing cooperation with the people from the Shared Guardian Association and Le Yuan, as without external help, the Shared Guardian Association wouldn’t last much longer.
"If it weren’t for me, you would be dead by now," Wu Li said coldly.
Xie Ming: "..."
That was what bothered him. He couldn’t understand why Le Yuan suddenly wanted to kill him, even before their cooperation had started.
