Chapter 1032 -412 Three Pieces of News
Li Xin’s condition wasn’t great at that moment, and given her inherently weak strength, Jiang Shixue said that if they were to forcefully control her, it could cause severe sequelae for Li Xin. At best, she might end up with brain damage, but at worst, she could drop dead on the spot.
“Then don’t control her for now. Let’s see if she can recover first.”
Wang Tao wasn’t a heartless person, not to mention that Li Xin was still useful to him.
The two approached Li Xin.
“Don’t kill me, I don’t want to die, I’ve told you everything…”
Li Xin wasn’t even looking to see who had come, she just kept shrinking back into the corner of the wall, weeping and begging for mercy.
“Li Xin, it’s me.”
Wang Tao spoke up.
But Li Xin didn’t dare to lift her head and recognize the voice as Wang Tao’s. She continued to curl up and plead.
Wang Tao felt there might be something wrong with her spirit, but he wasn’t sure if it was because Li Xin was too fragile or if Jiang Hui’s methods had been too strong. Wang Tao had no choice but to hold his breath and squat down.
“Li Xin, look up, it’s me, Wang Tao.”
Faced with Wang Tao’s words, Li Xin continued to cry miserably.
Helplessly, Wang Tao grabbed Li Xin’s hair, and amidst her feeble Screaming, he forced her to lift her head.
“Look at me.”
The lights in the cell had been turned on by Jiang Shixue, and when Li Xin’s eyes suddenly met the bright light, she was immediately moved to tears.
She wanted to lower her head and hide, but she was firmly controlled by Wang Tao and couldn’t move at all.
Wang Tao even noticed Li Xin’s HP starting to slowly decrease.
“…”
Just turning on the light shouldn’t make her perish like that, right?
Fortunately, the thing Wang Tao was worried about didn’t happen. After he forced Li Xin to adjust to the light, her HP finally stopped decreasing, but she was left with only 10 drops of blood, on the verge of dying at any moment.
“You, Mr., Mr. Wang…”
Finally, she managed to see Wang Tao’s face clearly.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Wang Tao nodded.
“Wuwu, Mr. Wang, save me! I really didn’t kill anyone!”
Upon getting confirmation from Wang Tao, Li Xin immediately saw him as her savior, crying as she threw herself onto him.
Wang Tao held her off with one hand against her forehead, keeping her at a distance.
Her upper body was relatively clean, but the lower part was damp, and Wang Tao didn’t want to get stained.
Li Xin didn’t notice this; she thought Wang Tao was refusing to help her, and her expression became even more desperate.
During her time at the villa, she rarely had the opportunity to interact with outsiders, and Yao Guodong hardly ever took her out, treating her and Qiu Rong purely as forbidden fruits.
So although she and Qiu Rong were nominally Yao Guodong’s wives, they had no social connections. Now that Yao Guodong was dead, their support was gone. They had no connections of their own, and the only powerful person they could contact was Wang Tao… If Wang Tao refused to help them, then they were truly finished!
Even though Li Xin didn’t particularly like Yao Guodong and was only clinging to his power, she believed she had nothing to do with his death; in her heart, she wished Yao Guodong would live as long as possible, for he was her pillar… Unfortunately, it seemed no one believed her. Many people suspected her and Qiu Rong! So, if no one was willing to help them, they might end up bearing a false accusation of involvement in the assassination of the mayor. After all, the case couldn’t drag on forever; someone had to take responsibility eventually.

Seeing Wang Tao push her away, Li Xin thought he was unwilling to help her. But before she could despair completely, what Wang Tao said next excited her again.
“I’m here to rescue you, and I’ll get you out soon.”
As he spoke, Wang Tao moved his hand from her forehead to her head, gently stroking her hair.
“Really? Are you really here to rescue me?”
Excited, Li Xin became somewhat incredulous.
“Of course, why else would I come?”
Wang Tao lied without even a hint of a blush, even though he was the one who had ordered Jiang Hui to capture Li Xin and Qiu Rong, and now he claimed he was here to rescue them.
Li Xin obviously couldn’t tell whether Wang Tao’s words were true or not, but at this point, he was her last lifeline, and she was willing to believe him.
“Thank you, thank you, Mr. Wang! I’ll do whatever you need me to, unconditionally! By the way, Mr. Wang, could you please also rescue Sister Rong at once…”
Even now, Li Xin didn’t forget about Qiu Rong. Wang Tao guessed that her relationship with Qiu Rong was much better than with Yao Guodong… He could tell that at this moment, Li Xin wasn’t performing.
“Okay, then first let me ask you some questions…”
Wang Tao asked again about the circumstances surrounding Yao Guodong’s death.
Before controlling Qiu Rong, Wang Tao felt that both women were tough-talking and very skilled at responding; he couldn’t pry anything out of them. But now that he knew from Qiu Rong that they truly were unaware of Yao Guodong’s demise and had not actively participated, the responses from Li Xin suddenly felt reasonable—she wasn’t articulate, she genuinely knew nothing.
After all those questions had been asked, Wang Tao straightened out her hair, revealing her fair earlobes and collarbone. Stroking her cheek gently, he asked softly:
“Think carefully, have you left anything out, or is there something I haven’t asked about… anything at all?”
“There’s nothing left, I’ve told you everything!”
Li Xin said with a sobbing voice.
“Don’t rush your answer. Think about it carefully. Are you hiding anything from me? It doesn’t have to be about Yao Guodong, maybe something solely concerning you. Only if you tell me everything can I save you…”
