Chapter 688: Uncover the Real Culprit

Most of the attacks were aimed at Mu Sihan, but some of them were not accurate and accidentally injured Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi didn't dodge and was hit several times.

But compared to Mu Sihan's embarrassment, Nan Zhi was lucky.

The man's expensive and exquisite coat was extremely dirty.

There were two vegetable leaves on top of her meticulously taken care of hair.

Mr. Bai was a god-like being in the hearts of the villagers. Everyone revered and respected him. His sudden death caused outrage among the people.

Everyone wanted to kill the culprit with a thousand knives.

"Old Mr. Bai was kind enough to treat you, but you didn't want to repay the kindness and even asked someone to shoot him to death. You are not a human being!"

"brute!"

"You will go to hell even if you die!"

"If you have the ability, you can kill our entire village!"

The crowd was furious again.

After smashing the eggs, the village chief took the lead and smashed a few more stones.

One of them hit Mu Sihan's forehead, and bright red blood flowed down instantly.

Nan Zhi stood aside and looked at Mu Sihan's injury. There was no trace of distress on her fair and beautiful face. Instead, she was as angry as the villagers.

The villagers vented for a long time before stopping what they were doing.

"Drive him out! This kind of creature is inferior to a beast and is not worthy of worshiping Mr. Bai anymore!"

After Mu Sihan was kicked out by the villagers, silence returned to the courtyard.

Nan Zhi didn't stay in the yard for a second, turned around, and entered the cabin.

…

The man who had been secretly monitoring the two of them for Lucy quietly reported the latest situation to Lucy after Mu Sihan was attacked and driven out by the villagers.

When she heard that Mu Sihan was injured but Nan Zhi was indifferent, she finally began to believe that their relationship had really broken down.

As long as there is still some affection, it is impossible not to feel a little bit distressed when seeing the one you love being attacked.

Lucy curled her lips, and a trace of revenge flashed in her eyes.

…

Nan Zhi slept in the cabin all night.

In fact, I didn't fall asleep. The lively scene in the cabin kept popping up in my mind.

Mr. Bai's kindness and generosity, Ling'er's innocence and laughter, Brother Gu Sheng's purity and warmth, Bai Ye's enthusiasm and chivalry, Mu Sihan's coldness and unruliness...

It has only been a short time, but things have changed.

Nan Zhi walked to the room where Mr. Bai lived, looked at the things the old man had used, and sat there most of the night.

The next morning.

Nan Zhi made some food, packed it up, and walked towards Mr. Bai's grave.

The tomb is in a remote place deep in the mountains, with no human habitation visible.

In the early morning, there were still dewdrops on the leaves, which occasionally dripped onto the neck, giving it a chill.

The surroundings were extremely quiet, the only sound was the slight rustling of fallen leaves as she stepped on them.

Ten minutes later, she walked to Mr. Bai's grave.

She looked around out of the corner of her eye, then took out the items in the basket and arranged them one by one.

She kowtowed three times in front of the grave and said silently in her heart: Mr. Bai, don't worry, we will definitely let your murderer get the punishment he deserves!

Nan Zhi stayed at the grave for nearly half an hour, and her knees were a little sore, but she did not dare to let down her guard and kept her ears open to pay attention to the movements around her.

Sure enough, not long after, she heard a slight noise.

It was the sound of feet stepping on leaves.

Nan Zhi still bent over and didn't move, looking sad and hit hard.

Her pretty nose twitched slightly, and she made sad sobbing sounds from time to time.

The slight footsteps suddenly stopped.

Nan Zhi could feel that the man was stopping a few steps behind her.

It was quiet all around, with unknown birds chirping from time to time passing overhead.

Nan Zhi's thick and long eyelashes were drooped, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her arms involuntarily.

A few seconds later, a sinister female voice sounded from behind, "It seems that Old Man Bai's death really made you extremely disappointed in Ye Sihan."

Nan Zhi frowned.

Before she could turn around, the person behind her suddenly rushed to her and grabbed her long hair tied into a ponytail.

There was a tearing pain in his scalp.

Nan Zhi's eyes were so hot that she almost shed tears from the pain.

After her hair was tightly grasped by the person behind her, she was forced to raise her head, and at that moment, she saw clearly the appearance of the person behind her.

She is beautiful, with a pretty face.

Wearing a black leather jacket and trousers, with long hair shawl, sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, a small gun hanging on his waist, and black short boots, he looks capable and handsome.

She doesn't look like a princess, but a female killer.

Lucy effortlessly tore Nan Zhi's hair and suppressed her to the ground.

With a snap, she raised her hand and slapped Nan Zhi hard.

Burning pain hit her, and Nan Zhi felt her teeth loosen a bit, a sweetness surged from her throat, and her ears felt like a burning pain in addition to buzzing.

Nan Zhi's eyelashes were covered with crystal water drops. She was like a little flower caught in a storm, so fragile and vulnerable.

"Princess Lucy?" A look of panic and confusion appeared on Nan Zhi's face. She shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Princess, why are you...here?"

Seeing the fear and panic in Nan Zhi's eyes, Lucy curled her lips with a cold expression. She pinched Nan Zhi's delicate and small jaw and said with a gloating smile, "What do you think?"

Nan Zhi's eyelashes trembled fiercely, as if she was extremely frightened, "I, I don't know. Princess, I don't know where I offended you, and you want to do this to me."

Looking at Nan Zhi, who could be crushed to death by just reaching out her hand, Lucy felt extremely good. There was no warmth in her eyes, and she was so cold and stern, "You didn't offend me, but your man did." Me. No, maybe without you, he wouldn’t be so cruel to me."

Nan Zhi frowned, "Princess, it was you who poisoned him, causing him to suffer so much from the poison that his life was worse than death. If you want to offend him, it was you who offended him."

Lucy's hand on Nan Zhi's chin suddenly tightened. She had practiced martial arts and was stronger than the average woman. Nan Zhi gasped in pain and shed tears.

"I just like him too much. Ever since I was a child, Lucy, I, have wanted nothing but him. I have already said that we would only be a romantic couple with him, but he is not willing to do it, and he has caused me so much misery. You said , how can I, the majestic princess of a country, be able to swallow that breath?"

Nan Zhi's eyes shrank. She glanced at Mr. Bai's grave, and the color drained from her face. "So, it was you who killed Mr. Bai?"

Lucy let go of Nan Zhi, kicked Mr. Bai's tombstone, and laughed coldly, "You are about to die anyway, so there is no harm in telling you the truth. I was the one who dragged Ye Sihan into the center of the whirlpool!" Ha, if a white old man dies, he will lose his position as Crown Prince, and it will also wipe out your fate, do you think I am worth it?"
