Help! The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama!

Chapter 993: Chapter 741: The Most Shameless Thief! (Part 2)

Of course, she also knows that Lu Xiao talking about his own physical condition is mostly to comfort her.

How could Return Nest be so easy to endure?

The little comfort she provides probably won’t have much effect.

And Lu Xiao is the best at pretending.

Especially in front of her, he always pretends to be the most perfect, completely ignoring that beneath his strong facade, his interior is already shattered.

Shen Tang is both sweet and sour, feeling extremely upset.

Seeing her like this, Lu Xiao sighed lightly, not wanting her to remain in this mood, so he changed the topic, ”After the destruction of the base, Big Boss Mo Yan is truly angry this time, thinking that you and Xiao Jin kidnapped his daughter.”

Shen Tang heard this and clenched her fist angrily, ”Nonsense! We didn’t do it at all! Isn’t this slander?”

As she spoke, her anger grew, and the words sprang out, ”This father and daughter really have a grudge against me! The father is a fool who can’t tell good from bad, and the daughter is even more troublesome, repeatedly sending people to kill me! Last time, the sneak attack nearly crippled my superpower, if it weren’t for Xiao Jin arriving in time, I’d be dead by her hand... I haven’t avenged this yet, and now the father inexplicably gives me a kidnapping label, this really infuriates me!”

Lu Xiao initially found her puffed-up look amusing, but when he heard the latter part, his face instantly changed, ”Wu Wei... sent someone to assassinate you?”

Only then did Shen Tang realize she had let the slip.

But upon reflection, there’s nothing to hide, especially since it’s the man’s romantic debts!

So she told the whole story of the assassination attempt.

Lu Xiao’s breath became tight.

During that time, Big Boss started to suspect him, and he didn’t pay much attention to outside matters, not knowing these things happened to Shen Tang, almost leading to her death.

Lu Xiao felt a strong sense of fear, extremely guilty, ”I’m sorry Tangtang, I burdened you, it’s my fault.”

Mo Yan always wanted him to marry Wu Wei, which he constantly refused, not expecting it would bring disaster to Shen Tang, inviting such a great calamity upon her.

This was his oversight.

Shen Tang was initially a bit displeased, this man attracting so much attention outside, but seeing his sincere apology, she felt a little joy inside.

She approached and kissed his lips generously, saying, ”That father and daughter are bullying people, narrow-minded, despicable and shameless, it’s not your fault! Anyway, I’m fine now, you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Lu Xiao solemnly vowed, ”I won’t let such a thing happen again.”

Shen Tang, ”But with Wu Wei suddenly missing for so long, there’s been no sign of life or death, it’s indeed strange, could she really have been captured?”

Lu Xiao furrowed his brow and said sternly, ”The Mo Yan family has many enemies, it’s possible it was an enemy who took action.

”But my greater concern is another possibility—”

”This might be related to the Hand of Creation.”

Shen Tang was startled, ”Why do you say that?”

Lu Xiao, ”A kidnap by enemies would be just for revenge, or to seize power or money. But so many days have passed without any related news from any household, it doesn’t seem like the work of enemies.”

Shen Tang was puzzled, ”But if it’s the Hand of Creation, why would they do this?”

The Hand of Creation has no grudge with Wu Wei, there’s no need to kidnap her.

If it’s for cooperation between the two places, it’s even less likely.

The cooperation was almost settled; Mo Yan had basically agreed, but suddenly pulling this would force both sides into enmity, negating all the previous efforts, right?

The more she thought about it, the more it felt wrong, so she continued, ”Moreover, even if the Hand of Creation really wanted to kidnap Wu Wei, they would have done it early on, why wait until now? Especially with the Divine Hall Envoy visiting, aren’t they afraid of the City Lord suspecting them?”

”They waited for now so that Mo Yan wouldn’t know, timing their action precisely.”

Having stayed in Sky City for these days, Lu Xiao clearly understood the situation and explained, ”The Hand of Creation always acts cautiously, trying to avoid hostility with major families, they’ve expanded with mild infiltration for many years.”

”Mo Yan, although ruthless, is a big shot, strong and connected with various powers. The Hand of Creation fears him, it’s not worth the risk to become their enemy. For them, the risks outweigh the benefits, there’s no need to do this.”

Lu Xiao shifted his tone:

”But, if there’s a scapegoat, it’s different.”

He looked at Shen Tang, paused, and still said, ”Your timing of appearance was perfect, causing such a disturbance, they could easily kidnap Wu Wei, then blame it on you, turning both sides against each other, consuming each other, and ultimately, they reap the benefits.”

”For the Hand of Creation, it’s a case of killing two birds with one stone.”

Shen Tang was shocked after hearing this, it also seemed reasonable, ”But... even saying this, would the Hand of Creation really do this just to shirk the blame and throw slander on us?”
