Chapter 28 Charity in the Snow

"But...why would anyone attack you?" Xinyun looked at Jiang Xiao curiously: "Who did you offend?"

Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should tell the heart and the wind, but when he saw Lao Hua's gaze lit up from the corner of his eyes, he nodded slightly. He moved his heart and said, "Because... someone wants to get something, but I am the only one who knows the way to get that thing before..."

"What? Seed?!"

After listening to Jiang Xiao’s brief discussion on a series of things that have happened recently, Xinyun’s already round eyes widened even more, and she looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise: “You… are you serious? That kind of seed… really exists?”

"How do I know!" Jiang Xiao snorted unhappily: "It's just that Zi Yan told me that the location information of Seed was in the computer room of the middle school. Not to mention Seed, I haven't even searched for that information, how do I know whether it is true or false?"

"Hehe, if you say that, wouldn't you be very wronged?" Xinyun laughed and said, "Well... I can understand your current mood. Even though it has nothing to do with me, it forced you into it, and there is no way to explain."

"Yes." Jiang Xiao sighed: "So now, I just hope that all the awakened people, no matter who they are, will not come to me again. Since I have conveyed Zi Yan's last words to the people in the academy, no matter how they fight, it will have nothing to do with me."

Xinyun did not respond immediately this time, but frowned and thought hard. After a long time, she slowly said: "You... tell me what you had happened before again, and don't miss a detail."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiao didn't understand what Xinyun was wondering, but he still told Xinyun again, in more detail than before.

When Jiang Xiao was talking, Xinyun held a pair of chopsticks and ate the dishes on the plate in front of her bite after bite. Until Jiang Xiao finished talking, her frown little brow still did not let go.

"You... take a few bites first, I have to think about it again." Xinyun waved to Jiang Xiao, pointed to the dishes in front of her, and then simply closed her eyes and muttered something in a low voice to herself.

Jiang Xiao nodded, picked up the eel paste in front of him, and as soon as he entered his mouth, he widened his eyes.

As soon as the umami taste touched the tip of the tongue, it spread wildly in the entire mouth like an atomic bomb explosion, and it was impossible to control it. After exhausting Jiang Xiao's life, he had never tasted even a little dish that could be compared with it.

Lao Hua’s cooking skills are no less than brewing wine!!

but……

"Why are you obviously good at cooking, but the only food in the restaurant is the only edamame and peanuts?" Jiang Xiao looked at Lao Hua.

Lao Hua raised his eyelids, looked at Xinyun, and then looked at Jiang Xiao without saying a word.

But Jiang Xiao read the answer from Lao Hua's eyes-

Because except for Xinyun, you are not worthy of letting me cook for you.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

It seems that the status of the heart rhythm among the awakened ones is really high.

"Jiang Xiao, are you sure the damage you caused to the warrior Awakener named Li Qin that day was not enough to be fatal?" Xinyun finally ended her thoughts and opened her eyes and asked Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao nodded affirmatively and said without hesitation: "I'm sure. His appearance before his death could never be caused by external forces. His face was flushed, his breathing difficulties, his whole body was out of control, and... his broken heart."

"Then, you came to the same conclusion as me, that he... was killed by someone else. Is that right?"

"That's right." Jiang Xiao nodded.

Xinyun stretched out her slender little hand, knocked on the table, and stared at Jiang Xiao: "But have you ever thought about who the person who killed Li Qin?"

Jiang Xiao sighed: "Of course I have thought about it, but... I know the awakened people, but how can I think of it if there are only a few people?"

Xinyun slowly shook her head and said softly: "That may not be possible. I just thought about the whole process you described in my mind, but I felt that there was a person who was the most suspicious."

Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly jumped.

Among the awakened ones he knew, Zi Yan Anyan was dead, Lao Hua was right opposite, and Xinyun himself had just met him. Apart from that, wasn't that the only thing left...

"Are you talking about..." Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Zhe Yu?"

Xinyun's eyes showed maturity and wisdom that were completely disproportionate to her face: "That's right. It's him!"

"So..." Jiang Xiao thought for a while: "What is your basis?"

"You mentioned that there is a monitor on Li Qin's body, and the effective distance is not far away. In other words, there is a person who has been monitoring your conversation not far away. Considering that it is unlikely that a third party will suddenly pass by, and on a whim, and after killing Li Qin, and then drift away with such a very small probability without saying hello to you, then Li Qin is probably dead at that person's hands."

"So, since that person ordered Li Qin to torture you and had the ability to kill Li Qin without showing up, why didn't he come to you directly? And why did he kill Li Qin afterwards instead of killing you and saving Li Qin's life? Abandoning his son must have greater benefits before he would give up, right?"

"That's right." Jiang Xiao nodded: "But... this doesn't seem to be enough to deduce that the person behind Li Qin is Zhe Yu, right?"

"So far, it's not. But there is another more important point, that is... the way Li Qin asked the question is very strange." Xinyun shook her head and said, "He was not asking you Zi Yan's last words at the beginning, but he only asked that question at the last moment. At that time, he had been defeated by you."

Jiang Xiao thought for a while, nodded slowly and said, "So, what do you think this shows?"

Xinyun wrapped her fingers around her hair and slowly said, "This may mean...he...or to be more precise, the person behind him does not want to get an 'unknown answer', but wants to verify whether a 'known answer' is correct."

Jiang Xiao was shocked. Xinyun’s speculation was really verified with the facts!

"If it is really as Li Qin said, he is a remnant party of the Anyan, then the above doubts cannot be explained completely, even if we assume that he was sent by Zhe Yu, everything seems to be completely corresponding. So, my inference is... Although Zhe Yu had to tell Zi Yan's last words, he did not fully trust you, so he would use Li Qin as bait to force you into a desperate situation and get another answer." Xin Yun's eyes shining and bright.

"But why doesn't Zhe Yu trust me? Since I have told him Zi Yan's last words, then..." Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped talking, and a trace of chill suddenly rose behind him: "Can it be..."

"That's right." Xinyun nodded heavily: "Zheyu didn't find what he wanted from that place!"

"Damn it!"

Jiang Xiao picked up the wine glass from the table, raised his head and poured the wine from the glass into his throat. Then he poured three glasses for himself, but the shock in his heart was not suppressed at all.

This time, it's really a headache.

Before this, he always believed that as long as the information was conveyed to Zhe Yu, he could keep himself out of the matter.

After being attacked by Li Qin, he just felt that if the news spreads out, no one would come to chase him and ask.

But it was not until this moment that Jiang Xiao deeply realized how serious the problems he was facing were!

There is no seed information in that computer!

This means that no one will believe Jiang Xiao’s words!

Everyone would think that Jiang Xiao concealed Zi Yan’s true last words! After that, all the awakened people who want to get the seeds will swarm towards Jiang Xiao like a shark smelling blood!

And Jiang Xiao, who is in the center of this vortex, will undoubtedly be torn to pieces by these sharks!

Even Jiang Xiao, who is usually rational, feels deeply the aura of fear at this moment.

"Are you scared?" Xinyun smiled and looked at Jiang Xiao with her cheeks: "Now you know how dangerous your situation is, right?"

"Yes...Who can't be afraid when encountering such a thing?" Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.

"So, what are you going to do next?" Xinyun still smiled on her face: "How do you plan to get yourself out of this vortex?"

Jiang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Xinyun, but did not speak immediately. The two of them had a long time in front of him, but Jiang Xiao suddenly laughed.

He smiled happily, and seemed to have no worries at all.

"Why are you laughing?" Xinyun's face was not surprised, but instead she had an interesting expression.

"Because I suddenly didn't worry anymore." Jiang Xiao shrugged and smiled, "Because of your appearance."

"My appearance?" Xinyun tilted her head: "This is your business and it has nothing to do with me. Why do you think I am going to interfere?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Xiao shook his head calmly: "I don't know the reason why you will intervene. I only know that if you don't have such a plan, you won't leave me here. Listen to me to tell the whole thing and analyze it carefully for me. At least, you are interested. I don't know and don't need to know what the starting point of this interest is. So, next, I plan to listen to your opinion."

"Just so confident?"

"Just so confident." Jiang Xiao nodded heavily.

"Okay!" Xinyun suddenly stretched out her hand and patted the table heavily. A sense of pride suddenly appeared on her childish face: "No matter whether it was confused or not, at least, you were confused correctly. I plan to help you."

"Thank you." Jiang Xiao nodded calmly.

"So, let me tell you what you need to do now!"
