After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 226: Gears of Fate

Xia Chengzong suddenly looked up at Xia Chuyi, his expression extremely complex... His gaze was inscrutable, as if hiding many things.

"Chuyi, go back," Xia Chengzong said to her, his voice very low, "I can only tell you, I didn’t kill anyone."

Then he fell silent again.

Upon hearing this, a strong fury surged in Xia Chuyi’s chest.

Just as she had suspected!

Her second brother hadn’t committed any crime at all!

He had been framed!

Framed!

And the one who framed him, huh, unsurprisingly, it was naturally that beast Xia Chengzu!

He had a grudge against Ding Qianqian and had a motive for the crime! He had been to the scene and had the opportunity to commit the crime!

Most importantly, only Xia Chengzu would make his own second brother remain silent after being arrested, saying nothing. freeweɓnøvel.com

Xia Chuyi clenched her fists: it turned out that fate was waiting for her here.

"Second brother, do you realize what you’re doing?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but roar angrily.

For two lifetimes now, her second brother still hadn’t avoided the misfortune of taking the fall for someone else, still playing the scapegoat!

It’s just that, this time, the person he was taking the fall for had changed from his sworn elder brother to his biological elder brother; Xia Chuyi’s nails dug into her flesh, her eyes full of fire.

The gears of fate were once again mercilessly grinding forward!

Moreover, this time, Ding Qianqian was attacked and returned because of her, leading to a series of events that ultimately resulted in Xia Chengzong being captured again.

Xia Chuyi took a deep breath, then another deep breath.

What about the gears of fate?

She was reborn to resist fate and to recreate life anew!

Xia Chuyi controlled her emotions, speaking calmly, "Second brother, I hope you will tell the truth. What exactly happened in the rental apartment?"

Xia Chengzong’s eyes showed complex emotions but he remained silent.

She sighed and said, "If you don’t tell the truth, then in the end, the one who will take the blame will be you."

He looked up at her, then lowered his head and finally said, "Let me think about it."

Xia Chuyi felt rather helpless.

She knew her second brother’s ’sentimental’ trait had surfaced again.

It was both his strength and his weakness.

"Alright, I understand," Xia Chuyi nodded, her tone cold.

To make her second brother speak, it was simple; just make him completely lose heart in the Xia Family!

She left the interrogation room with a chill on her person.

Originally, she had just wanted to use Xia Chengzong’s ’smuggling’ incident to threaten the main branch of the Xia family to stop causing trouble.

However, now Xia Chuyi felt she had to be more ruthless, to grasp the lifeblood of the Xia Family and utterly destroy them!

Seeing her exit with a frosty face, Huo Shiqian’s brow furrowed.

"Chuyi..." he called out to her, but before he could finish, Xia Chuyi threw herself into his arms.

Whoosh, the gazes of all those around immediately focused on them.

Huo Shiqian blinked calmly, scanning the surroundings.

"I’m heading to do some work!"

"Ah, I’ve got fieldwork!"

Everyone appeared to be busy with something.

After everyone had dispersed, Huo Shiqian asked in a low voice, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing," Xia Chuyi’s voice was muffled, "I just feel like God doesn’t like me."

"Nonsense!" Huo Shiqian lightly chastised her.

Xia Chuyi looked up at him seriously, "I’m not talking nonsense. God doesn’t like me, but God likes you."

"Love of a shared home, so God will surely like me too."

"So, I will surely win."

Huo Shiqian: "..."

It was the first time he felt there was a generation gap between them.
