Chapter 549: She Once So Reliant on Him_1

Baili Xia’s emotions were surging, but her petite face remained calm.

“If you don’t believe me, you can check the call logs.

My older brother can do it, and I trust you guys also have computer experts who can uncover the truth.”

“I believe you.” Dongfang Qing’s chest rose and fell regularly.

He gazed at Baili Xia, his voice hoarse: “Continue.”

“That day, Jin and I fell into the sea while being pursued by Guisu. I don’t know what Jin saw, but suddenly he seemed to believe me.”

Up till now, Baili Xia had no idea about the sudden transformation of Dongfang Jin that day.

How could Dongfang Jin tell her about it?

He couldn’t explain it himself, he could only keep gazing at her, continue to listen to her.

“But I know he still had poison in his body. Even if I told him, and he was willing to believe me, he couldn’t erase the fragments of memories implanted through hypnosis.”

Explanations aren’t always effective, a lesson she had learned over the past year.

She just didn’t understand this before.

She looked at Dongfang Qing: “So, I asked him to do one thing for me.”

“She asked me to promise her, to act out this script with her.”

Dongfang Jin’s voice was very low, very heavy, just like his heart.

When she asked him to promise her, she was so cautious, so scared, he didn’t want to.

What scared him more was that he didn’t give her any chance to prove her innocence.

How much of a jerk was he to make someone who once wholeheartedly trusted him, now so cautious and wary around him?

Xiaxia… once, she trusted him so much, relied on him…

There was a lump in his heart, aching.

“If Lu Xuening and Nangong Yun really intended to harm her, then after she arrived here today, everyone would be startled.”

“You all would definitely be led here by Lu Xuening to capture her on the spot.”

His gaze swept towards Lu Xuening, and everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at her.

Lu Xuening, restrained by Lei Shuo, was still shaking her head, tears streaming down.

But she couldn’t say anything, she could only moan in denial.

Everyone’s mood was heavy at this moment, and everyone felt desolate inside.

Within the silence, the atmosphere in the room became even eerier and more depressive.

Finally, Lu An couldn’t hold back, he stepped forward and looked at Dongfang Qing, wearing a pleading face.

“Sir, you cannot take her words at face value, there must be some misunderstanding in this matter, maybe there’s a conspiracy.”

Dongfang Qing remained silent.

He continued: “Just now, didn’t the servant mention this?

It was Baili Xia who brought the knife!”

“That is…

the servant said so, it wasn’t Xuening.

Why won’t you listen to their explanation?”

“Servant, eh?” Dongfang Jin glanced at him and sneered.

“Fine, then bring that servant here and let’s hear what they have to say.”

His gaze swept toward the doorway: “Ji.”

“I have been waiting for a long time.” Outside, Dongfang Ji entered the room, holding a man.

The man, under his restraint, had his head bowed low, and he looked panicked.

His body was trembling constantly.

When he came to Dongfang Qing, he suddenly knelt down, almost crying out in panic.

“Sir, everything…

everything was orchestrated by Lu Xuening, she even gave me money to leave this place quickly.”

“Sir, I…

I didn’t do it on purpose, I was forced by her!

Sir, please see the truth!”
