Chapter 692: Using the Beauty Trap Again
Chapter 692: Using the Beauty Trap Again
Xiao Jun was visibly shocked.
"what?!"
Shen Lan wiped away her tears, her eyes reddened. "I can't even imagine what I'd do if they succeeded. I'd probably just die."
Xiao Jun was so angry that his face turned blue and he gritted his teeth.
These people were all found by Zhao Yue, and he was completely unaware of it.
He didn't expect that this woman could be so vicious. This method was even more cruel than killing people directly. It was pure torture, torture filled with strong malice.
"Xiao Ren just took the initiative to admit that he was the murderer behind the incident."
A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Jun's eyes.
Shen Lan took in his expression before continuing, "But I don't think it's right. I want to hear it from you in person. Tell me, is Xiao Ren the murderer behind this?"
Her clear eyes looked at Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun opened his mouth, but couldn't say the word "yes".
"It's not true." Shen Lan bit her lip, looking even more frightened, with tears trembling on her eyelashes.
"Don't, don't cry." Xiao Jun said these words with difficulty, his throat full of blood.
Shen Lan's tears fell even harder: "But I'm scared. He hates me so much, he will definitely not let it go. This time, with you here, those people didn't succeed. What if there is a next time?"
"But not everyone likes me as much as you do."
When Xiao Jun heard these words, he felt a sudden surge of heat on his face.
He now truly understood what it meant to be "blinded by lust". He knew clearly in his heart that Shen Lan was crying in front of him and the words she said were not sincere, but were just to gain sympathy.
She is so tough and cunning, and is definitely not the weak and crybaby type.
Besides, with President Xiao as an example, it is impossible for Shen Lan to have the slightest affection for him, especially since she was an accomplice in kidnapping her.
Xiao Jun's eyes were dim, and his soul seemed to be pulled as he listened to Shen Lan's sobs.
For the sake of Butler Zhao, he didn't want to betray Zhao Yue. But Zhao Yue was too cruel and crazy, and she wasn't someone who would just sit still. If she continued to lurk in the dark, she could attack Shen Lan once, and she could also attack him a second time.
No matter how strict the protection is, there will always be loopholes. Shen Lan cannot live under heavy protection and supervision forever.
Seeing that he had his eyes closed and looked troubled, Shen Lan knew that he needed to add fuel to the fire.
Her eyes moved, and her voice was like a siren's, softly speaking, "You were desperate to die before, saying over and over again that you wanted to be yourself before you died. Why are you now in chains and asking for a favor? Isn't this a contradiction?"
"Xiao Jun, you've already made up your mind to die. Why would you care about human feelings? Don't you have any other wishes?"
Xiao Jun was stunned. In a trance, he seemed to hear a crisp "crack" sound, and some restraints were broken.
His dying wish...
Before, I wanted to have close contact with Shen Lan, even if I died, I would have no regrets. But now...
Xiao Jun's eyes were dazed.
He wanted Shen Lan to be safe and happy, and have a smooth life.
Shen Lan watched Xiao Jun's eyes change from trance to clarity, and finally to firmness, his eyes shining frighteningly.
"Ms. Shen, I've made up my mind. I can tell you who's behind this, but I have a request."
When Shen Lan heard this, a look of confusion flashed across his face.
He wouldn't mean to...
As if he could see what she was thinking, Xiao Jun smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't touch you. I'm sorry for scaring you before. It's my fault."
"then you……"
"When I die, can you put that hairpin in my urn?"
This request made Shen Lan stunned.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Jun's eyes dimmed: "Isn't it possible?"
"No, it's not." Shen Lan shook his head and frowned. "I don't think you deserve to die. As long as you confess the mastermind behind the incident, I can persuade Xiao Yun to atone for your crime. But you can't stay in the Xiao family anymore."
Xiao Jun smiled, said nothing, and just looked at her stubbornly.
Shen Lan was stared at by him and could only nod in response: "Okay, I'll bring the hairpin to you later. Tell me, who is behind this?"
Xiao Jun's lips moved, and after a long while he uttered two words: "Zhao Yue."
Shen Lan was stunned: "I see."
If it was Zhao Yue, it would make sense. Zhao Yue hated her to the core and had a somewhat crazy and twisted personality. She really hoped that her relationship with Xiao Yun would not go smoothly.
The most important thing is that she and her father have been in the Xiao family for many years, so it is normal for them to be in the Xiao family's bodyguard team.
It all made sense.
After Xiao Jun said this name, he felt much more relaxed.
He couldn't keep Zhao Yue's secret while he was alive, so he could only die and atone for his sins to Butler Zhao.
Seeing Shen Lan frowning in thought, Xiao Jun took the initiative to explain: "At that time, the Xiao family was looking for suitable orphans to raise in various places, and Butler Zhao was in charge of J City. After the orphanage caught fire, he took me out. After entering the Xiao family, he has always taken good care of me, caring for me like a father."
As he spoke, he chuckled.
He was so lacking in love at that time. When Butler Zhao said a few words of concern, he was moved to tears and felt that he was as kind and gentle as a father.
But later, when I saw how he treated Xiao Yun and Zhao Yue, I realized that Butler Zhao's concern for me was a bit deliberate.
I think he had been planning this from the very beginning to leave a way out for himself and his daughter.
The more Xiao Jun spoke, the clearer his mind became. He thought that the reason why Butler Zhao chose him was probably because he was the one he picked and was the best one in the same batch.
