As soon as Yan Bai spoke, Lu Yujie's face turned extremely ugly.
She had thought that the two people before her would be easily fooled, but she never expected them to be so difficult to deceive.
It seemed she had underestimated them.
Most importantly, the way they looked at her, almost as if they wanted to kill her, truly frightened her.
"Everything I said is true, and I've given you the evidence you asked for, which you should have seen."
"Even if you don't believe my words, this evidence is all real."
Lu Yujie's gaze fell on Yan Bai, and she said with utter contempt, "Heh, from the very beginning, you've been defending An Nuan. Tell me, is there no relationship between you and An Nuan that's hard to guess? Or did you also take benefits from An Nuan, which is why you're so concerned about this matter?"
"Heh, if you say you have no relationship with An Nuan, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
"I've never seen a 'stranger' care so much about someone, to the point of being so concerned. There must be some ambiguous and unclear relationship."
Lu Yujie's eyes shone brightly, as if she had discovered a huge secret, and she loudly declared, "I know, you must have fallen in love with An Nuan, but you dare not show it because of Mr. Shen."
"And now? Seeing An Nuan being misunderstood, you're anxious. That's why you're so eager to stand up and speak for An Nuan."
Lu Yujie spoke with a serious expression, glancing at Shen Xizhou standing by the side. Her demeanor suggested she was certain he believed her words.
She was happy with this realization.
This was her goal. If successful, she would not only be free of trouble but also clear her name. And the task Chen Fuyi had assigned her would be successfully completed.
If this were the case, it would mean things were progressing very smoothly.
Yan Bai glared at Lu Yujie, his eyes full of anger, and said coldly, "Lu Yujie, things are not at all as you say. Don't talk nonsense here."
At this moment, Shen Xizhou, standing by the side, let out a cold snort. His gaze fell on Lu Yujie, and he said coldly, "I don't believe what you're saying."
Lu Yujie was completely flustered. She had thought Shen Xizhou would believe her words, as his expression earlier seemed to suggest he did. But why, at this moment, was he saying he didn't believe her?
Lu Yujie was desperately trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.
Lu Yujie continued to speak, not giving up. She even thought that there would eventually be a time when he would believe her.
Yan Bai, standing by, couldn't stand it anymore and harshly reprimanded her. However, at this point, Lu Yujie was not scared. Instead, she said coldly, "Heh, what's wrong? Are you worried I'll say something I shouldn't?"
Lu Yujie said with more triumph.
What Lu Yujie said became increasingly absurd.
"Heh, if you don't believe what I say, you can investigate. I believe there's nothing Mr. Shen can't investigate."
Shen Xizhou looked at Lu Yujie coldly and asked, "Then, did An Nuan say why she did this?"
"Why she did this?" Lu Yujie repeated Shen Xizhou's words.
In fact, she had just said it casually. She thought Shen Xizhou wouldn't ask such a question.
However, Shen Xizhou kept looking at her, his gaze fixed on her, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.
Lu Yujie's whole body trembled. After thinking for a long time, it was as if she made a big decision.
"I..."
"An Nuan gave me a lot of money. She said that if I obeyed, not only would the money be mine, but she would also help my family."
"I didn't want to do this at first, but for my family, I had no choice but to do it."
"Mr. Shen, you should know that over the years, no one who opposes An Nuan has had a good ending. I don't want to become one of them."
"So, I obeyed obediently."
"Following An Nuan's arrangement. I pushed Xu Ruowei out, and even the time and place were arranged by An Nuan."
Lu Yujie trembled all over. Facing Shen Xizhou's terrifying gaze, she spoke more cautiously, "An Nuan said she already had Nangong Jin."
"It's just... she saw you, Mr. Shen, standing on Xu Ruowei's side, speaking for her."
"She said that all the suffering she had endured before, she wanted to repay it all to Xu Ruowei."
After speaking, Lu Yujie lowered her eyes, her voice still trembling, "Mr. Shen, I really don't know anything that happened after that."
"I was just following An Nuan's instructions."
"Mr. Shen, I was truly threatened and used. Please, spare my life, can you? I just want to live."
"If I hadn't been threatened, I wouldn't have done such a thing."
Lu Yujie cried and said, "Mr. Shen, I know you won't believe whatever I say now. But I have evidence here."
"Proof of how An Nuan arranged me."
Shen Xizhou looked at the so-called evidence and let out a cold snort. His cold and terrifying gaze fell on Lu Yujie, "How do you have this evidence? If you hadn't prepared it in advance, how could you have it?"
"This evidence seems intentional."
Lu Yujie was immediately speechless. She was just in a hurry to frame An Nuan and didn't expect such a serious loophole.
At this moment, she already regretted it.
But since the evidence had been presented and she was now being suspected, she had to do her best to resolve the situation.
Lu Yujie cried and said, "An Nuan has Nangong Jin's help. I'm afraid, afraid that one day she will harm me. Therefore, I thought about recording everything that happened, just to save my life."
"That's why these things you mentioned came about."
"Mr. Shen, I have told you everything I know. Please, let me go, can you?"
Lu Yujie's face was still fearful, and she finally spoke again, "Mr. Shen, when I was saying these things, you had already promised me that if I told you everything, you would let me go."
"Mr. Shen isn't planning to go back on his word, is he?"
Lu Yujie dared to speak. In fact, she was truly pushed to the brink and had no choice but to say these things at this time.
For the sake of her life, she was truly willing to do anything.
Lu Yujie thought Shen Xizhou would not let her go. But at this moment, Shen Xizhou waved his hand and let Lu Yujie leave directly.
Yan Bai, standing aside, could not believe that such a thing would happen. Shen Xizhou had actually let Lu Yujie go.
This person, who had done such wicked things, was let off so easily. It was too lenient.
"Yan Bai, you talked a bit too much today."
"What's wrong? Were you also bribed by An Nuan?"
Yan Bai stared at Shen Xizhou with wide eyes, but immediately said, "No, I wasn't."
Yan Bai thought for a moment and continued, "No, that's not it."
"It's just that I'm thinking, too many things have happened over the years, and each time things were aimed at An Nuan. Young Master Shen, if things are not made clear and are misunderstood again, it would be truly bad."
