Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"What are you thinking about?" Hua Xi asked when she saw that Yi Mu did not respond for a long time.

Yi Mu then raised his eyes and spoke slowly: "I was wondering, she is so smart, how could she be willing to die."

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe Hua Chaochao was not dead.

Hua Xi's face darkened when she realized who Yi Mu was talking about: "I thought about that, but I have personally confirmed that the body does belong to her, without a doubt."

Mo Ni, who was standing by, obviously misunderstood the meaning of Yi Mu's words. A hint of shock flashed across her eyes. "Are you talking about... Chao Chao? Did she... commit suicide?"

"It's not suicide." Hua Xi explained, "I'll explain it to you when I get back. I'm going to the Li family first."

"Be careful. I heard from Chief Li yesterday that he has determined that you are the murderer of Elder Ren. He will definitely embarrass you if you go." Mo Ni's brows were full of worry. "If it really doesn't work, just confess that you are Li Cenyuan's daughter, his granddaughter. I don't believe he will embarrass you even if you do that."

Hua Xi felt mixed emotions. She simply replied to this suggestion: "Let's talk about it later."

She actually didn't want to confess in her heart.

Taking the mask and car keys handed over by Moni, Hua Xi turned her gaze to Yi Mu again, silently asking about his decision.

Yi Mu: "I'll go with you."

In the end, Happy stayed in the desperate situation, while Hua Xi and Yi Mu set off for the Li family.

Li Qingchi was furious because of Ren Hui's death. Under his influence, the whole Li family was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere for the past two days, and the servants did everything with great caution.

Under the guidance of the guard, Hua Xi and Yi Mu entered Li Qingchi's study.

"Chief, Elder Shen, Chief Bai from Desperate Situation has arrived." The guard reported respectfully.

Elder Shen, also known as Shen Kun, was currently sitting on an intricately carved sandalwood chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was meditating or trying to calm his thoughts.

Hearing the guard's report, he didn't even raise his eyelids, but just waved his hand casually: "Got it, go down."

"Yes." The guard retreated quietly and closed the door.

Li Qingchi turned his back to the crowd, his eyes fixed on a famous painting hanging on the wall. The landscape in the painting seemed to contain endless artistic conception, but it also reflected the turmoil in his heart at the moment.

His deep voice penetrated the air, carrying the chill of winter: "Chief Bai, it's really not easy to see you."

Hua Xi replied: "The Li tribe leader has threatened me, how can I not come?"

"So, Chief Bai admits that you were the one who did what Ren Hui did?" Li Qingchi slowly turned around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, pointing directly at Hua Xi.

Hua Xi's expression remained unchanged, and her attitude was firm: "I won't admit to something I haven't done."

At this moment, Li Qingchi's gaze inadvertently swept across Yi Mu who was standing next to Hua Xi, and a hint of disbelief suddenly flashed in his eyes.

Like, so similar.

"Who are you? What's your relationship with Lan Yi?" Li Qingchi ignored Hua Xi's response and fixed his gaze on Yi Mu, asking anxiously.

At the same time, Shen Kun, who had been resting with his eyes closed, was also attracted by this sudden turn. He opened his eyes, and his gaze was instantly attracted by Yi Mu's face. A look of shock also appeared on his face. He stood up from the chair involuntarily, leaning forward slightly, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Yi Mu.

However, facing two inquiring gazes, Yi Mu simply raised his eyebrows lightly and said slowly: "Why should I tell you?"

Li Qingchi and Shen Kun looked at each other, with complicated expressions in their eyes.

"You look young," Li Qingchi looked at Yi Mu carefully again and guessed, "Could it be that you are Lan Yi's child?"

Yi Mu still ignored Li Qingchi. He crossed his arms and looked at Li Qingchi with cold eyes.

He had no obligation to satisfy their curiosity.

"..."

Li Qingchi hit a snag with Yi Mu, and turned to Hua Xi and asked: "Chief Bai, he is the person you brought here, won't you explain?"

Unexpectedly, Hua Xi did not give him face. She said, "Chief Li, I am here to explain that Elder Ren's death has nothing to do with me, not to discuss his identity."
