After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

Yi Xiangling glanced behind him in disbelief, and saw Lu Yao leading the government officials standing behind him. The sword in the hand of one of the government officials had already pierced Yi Xiangling's chest.

But this time it wasn't serious, just injured.

"Bold Yi Xiangling, now you actually kill someone in front of me!" Lu Yao shouted angrily.

Yi Xiangling turned her head with difficulty and looked at Lu Yao, with blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"You...you..." Yi Xiangling tried hard to raise her finger to Lu Yao, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"Hmph, if you want to kill Xu Xudong and silence him, how can I tolerate you?"

Lu Yao sneered, "I think you are a girl, so I am very tolerant to you, but you are so cruel! At such a young age, Mr. Xu, you actually dare to instruct Xu Xudong to kill someone!"

"You..." Yi Xiangling wanted to say something, but only uttered one syllable and passed out.

"Take it off!"

Lu Yao flicked her sleeves, ordered the people around her to take Yi Xiangling away, and left herself.

After Lu Yao left, Yi Xiangling was taken to a remote prison in a dark and damp room.

"Bitch, wake up, bitch!"

In the dim room, Yi Xiangling was lying on a pile of straw, with Xu Xudong beside him.

"You bitch, it's all because of you. Didn't you say that you can definitely defeat Su Xiaoxi this time?" Xu Xudong shouted angrily, with a hint of regret in his tone.

"Now you have the nerve to blame me? If you weren't greedy for money, how could you end up in this situation?"

Although Yi Xiangling was injured, his head was still clear.

"It's you. If you hadn't told me to kill Su Xiaoxi, how could I have ended up like this?" Xu Xudong said bitterly, wanting to strangle Yi Xiangling to death.

"Xu Xudong, don't forget, you used me to deal with Su Xiaoxi first." Yi Xiangling said.

"Hmph!" Xu Xudong snorted coldly and said nothing.

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense, otherwise, even if you survive, I won't let you go."

"Bah, who do you think you are? Do you think your family will still protect you?" Xu Xudong glared at Yi Xiangling with disgust.

"What do you mean?" Yi Xiangling suddenly asked nervously.

"Do you think the Yi family can go against the county magistrate for you?" Yi Xiangling was silent. Indeed, Lu Yao is a smart person. He has always been upright, and I am afraid that the Yi family will not offend the county magistrate to save her.

"You... how dare you harm me!" Yi Xiangling instantly understood that Xu Xudong's actions were completely intentional to expose her.

Xu Xudong's purpose is to delay time. If someone blocks it for him, he will not lose his life.

"Hmph!" Xu Xudong snorted, "Yi Xiangling, you are too stupid to be so careless even if you want to deal with Su Xiaoxi!"

Xu Xudong hated Yi Xiangling's stupidity and also hated himself for underestimating the enemy. He never expected that Lu Yao could find out everything.

"Stop arguing. If you argue again, I will kill you right now." Yi Xiangling slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Xudong.

Xu Xudong was startled, "You..."

Yi Xiangling glanced at Xu Xudong coldly, "I'm warning you, I'm not guilty. You've been slandering me."

"I didn't!" Xu Xudong retorted, "Yi Xiangling, you forced me to do all this."

"Forcing you?" Yi Xiangling sneered: "Xu Xudong, you still remember that we had an engagement?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for what happened between us, why would I bother getting engaged to you?"

Hearing Yi Xiangling mention the engagement between the two, Xu Xudong's attitude became even more angry.

"Since you don't want to marry me, I can't force you." Yi Xiangling said, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"But what should happen to the two of us now?" Xu Xudong was panicking. After all, he was now in prison, although Lu Yao had not yet said how they should be sentenced.

But Xu Xudong was still very panicked.

If he was sentenced to death, he would definitely die.

"Xu Xudong, don't panic. Lu Yao hasn't figured out how to deal with us yet. No matter what, I will ensure your safety."

"You promise?" Xu Xudong sarcastically said.

Yi Xiangling did not answer. She indeed had no way to guarantee Xu Xudong's safety.

However, she must also protect herself.

"When my parents and brother find me, I will naturally help to plead for mercy." Yi Xiangling said.

"Do you think your parents can still find you?"

Xu Xudong scoffed disdainfully, "Lu Yao said that all those imprisoned in jail will accept bribes!"

"Lu Yao...you must die a happy death!"

Yi Xiangling roared, his voice hoarse.

It turned out that Lu Yao had no intention of forgiving her from the beginning to the end.

Yi Xiangling hated Lu Yao so much that she never thought that she would end up like this.

"It won't be easy for you even if I die!"

"Really? It's a pity that I won't die now!"

After that, Xu Xudong stood up and left, leaving Yi Xiangling alone.

Yi Xiangling wanted to escape, but his body was so weak that he couldn't even struggle.

As night fell, there were chaotic footsteps outside the cell, and then, a man in black opened the door and came in.

The man saw Yi Xiangling, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

-

The night was getting darker, but Su Xiaoxi couldn't fall asleep.

"Xiao Xi, are you still worried about what happened during the day?" Cheng Shubai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Su Xiaoxi who was tossing and turning on the bed, and asked softly.

"Shubai, what do you think I should do?" Su Xiaoxi asked instead of answering the question.

She knew that Cheng Shubai was extremely intelligent, and a look or a word from her was enough to let Cheng Shubai know what he was thinking.

When Cheng Shubai heard this, he frowned and thought about it seriously.

"I think this matter needs long-term consideration. If we act rashly, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive!"

Cheng Shubai opened his mouth and expressed his views.

His words made Su Xiaoxi fall into deep thought.

"Shu Bai, these two people actually wanted to frame me, even Mr. Xu. I really don't know what they are thinking. I just feel very uncomfortable in my heart!"

Su Xiaoxi looked a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it.

But Cheng Shubai knew that she felt uncomfortable.

Cheng Shubai gently protected Su Xiaoxi, patted Su Xiaoxi's shoulder with his warm and dry hands, and gave her invisible comfort, "Xiao Xi, you are not an ordinary woman. No matter how they frame you, it will not help. Besides, if you don't take the initiative to attack , wouldn’t it be just what they wanted?”

"But I'm worried that they will take it out on others." Su Xiaoxi's brows were still furrowed.
