The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 1025: Chapter 1025: Hidden Truths

So She believes Him.

He did not lie; there must be some hidden truth behind this matter.

”Since you’re willing to tell us the truth, we’ll also do our best to help you.” Han Jing looked at Su Huan and said, ”You also don’t need to harbor doubts. We have our own stance, and things we need to do. So if you trust us, then stay here and wait for a few days. I hope we really can help you learn the truth. I imagine you also don’t want Xia Zhuzi to die so muddleheaded, do you?”

Han Jing’s last sentence was what truly struck Su Huan’s heart.

He really could not care about his own life or death, but he truly did not want Xia Zhuzi to die so inexplicably.

If it really was done by Him, then He would rather use His own life to atone; but if it was not done by Him, then the real killer would walk free.

He could not let Her die so unjustly.

Su Huan seemed to have regained his strength; he nodded firmly to Han Jing. ”No matter what your purpose is, thank you. If you hadn’t come to tell me, I might never have known what actually happened, even in death. I beg you, if you can, you must help me find the truth. I don’t want Her to die so confused and unclear.”

Su Huan looked at Han Jing and actually knelt down.

Even Han Jing was startled.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, kneeling to plead is the most commonplace thing, but for scholars like them, a man’s knees are as precious as Gold: they kneel upward only to the Monarch, downward only to parents and ancestors, and would never lightly kneel to a stranger.

So Su Huan was genuinely begging Them, using his pride and backbone to beg.

”Please!” Su Huan was only eighteen, yet after going through all of this, he seemed to mature in an instant—no, to grow weathered.

As if having gone through life and death and tribulation, he suddenly became deeply worn.

”We don’t know how much we can help you. Don’t take it too much to heart. We’ll leave first. You just wait here patiently for a few more days. To prevent anything unexpected from happening to you, I’ll set up a Barrier in this cell. Ordinary people won’t be able to break it. You must also be careful yourself. If someone truly wants to use you or frame you, there will surely be other methods.” Han Jing spoke with a word of warning.

Then, after thinking for a moment, She turned to Su Yu. ”You do it.”

Su Yu nodded and set up a Barrier in the cell, confirming that unless a White Flame Level expert came, it could not be broken, and only then did He leave together with Han Jing.

They quietly went to Xia Wu’s courtyard to make another round; Xia Wu was still throwing a tantrum, as if Her emotions were extremely irritable—almost to an abnormal degree.

The two did not go in, but went back first.

Han Jing asked Su Yu, ”Do you feel that Xia Wu is also not quite right?”

Su Yu nodded. ”If I’m not mistaken, Su Huan may not be the only one who has been affected. Very likely, the one most deeply ensnared is Xia Wu. Standing from Her status and position, some of the things She’s done have gone beyond what reason would allow.”

If Xia Wu were just an ordinary person, then losing control of Her emotions after going through such a great upheaval would be normal. But Xia Wu’s cultivation had already reached White Flame Level, and She had been an upper-rank ruler for over three hundred years. Whether in terms of status or any other aspect, She should never have ended up as She is now.
