Chapter 1569: Feigned Death

Li Jinnan jerked back in shock. He stared at Shen Luo’an like an angry lion about to devour its prey.

The emanating fury only served to make Shen Luo’an chuckle. “Do you hate me very much?” he asked.

“Tch…” Li Jinnan laughed sardonically. His expression held no warmth whatsoever. “You don’t qualify for that,” he replied

Shen Luo’an didn’t lose his temper. He reached out to move Li Jinnan’s hand away and asked, “If that is the case, what is the meaning of this?”

Shen Luo’an’s repulsive attitude did not intimidate Li Jinnan one bit. He remained unmoving. Glaring at Shen Luo’an, he narrowed his fathomless eyes and asked, “What did you mean when you said you were here to turn yourself in?”

Shen Luo’an exerted more force while trying to push his hand away and replied, “Do you not understand what ‘turn myself in’ means?”

Li Jinnan’s eyes are fierce as he glared at him. “Did you kill Guan Queye?”

“No, I didn’t,” Shen Luo’an gave up and put his hand down. He tilted his head down to look at Li Jinnan’s hand and asked, “Can we talk properly? The way you’re acting now is frightening to me.”

Li Jinnan released his hold on him. Shen Luo’an immediately rearranged his clothing and said, “Guan Queye’s death has nothing to do with me, but I know for sure that it definitely wasn’t Ye Youyou who killed her.”

“Of course I know that,” Li Jinnan growled.

Given Ye Youyou’s personality, it was hard enough trying to prevent her from getting killed. It went without saying that she would never harm another person.

What a joke!

“Therefore, the possibility exists that this could just be a farce and that Guan Queye isn’t dead at all.” Shen Luo’an expression was steady. The words coming out of his mouth were enough to unsettle the listener.

A light flashed in Li Jinnan’s eyes when he heard that. He asked, “What do you mean?”

Shen Luo’an had no intention of explaining himself. He craned his neck to look inside and asked, “Are you going to invite me in?”

The place Li Jinnan was currently staying at was Li Sicheng’s property. It was just a temporary residence. Li Jinnan was not a petty person. Upon hearing the question, he moved aside to let Shen Luo’an make his way in.

They sat facing each other. The expression on Shen Luo’an’s face was one of vigilance. The corners of his lips lifted up a little, but his subtle smile was one of bitterness. “Has Youyou been well?” he asked.

“She’s currently stuck inside jail, so what do you think?” Li Jinnan snorted sarcastically. “The Guan family has no intention of letting her off. They’ve been accusing her of all sorts of crimes. Guan Yanhong is set on making sure she receives the death penalty. This is all thanks to you!”

“This is all my fault. I let them down. Both Youyou and Queye fell out with each other all because of me.” Shen Luo’an looked at Li Jinnan as he slowly said, “Guan Queye hated Ye Youyou very much because seven years ago, Ye Youyou pushed Queye down the cliff…”

“It wasn’t Ye Youyou,” Li Jinnan firmly declared. “Ye Youyou would never have done something like that.”

Shen Luo’an was at a loss for words. It was a long while before he continued, “In any case, it is because of what happened seven years ago that Ye Youyou is facing this predicament today. My guess is that Guan Queye isn’t dead. This is probably Guan Yanhong’s scheme to get rid of Ye Youyou.”

“He’s using his daughter’s death as a joke?” Li Jinnan found the notion incredulous.

“Given Guan Yanhong’s character, that isn’t impossible. This won’t be the first time he’s done something like that anyway. Twenty years ago, he feigned death once before.”
