Chapter 37 What Does It Mean?

Except for the last time when Shen Yue came to look for Xie Yan, I had no contact with Shen Yue at all. Why did Shen Yue speak in a tone as if she knew a lot about me?

I was puzzled. A strange smile appeared on Shen Yue's lips again. She said to me, "Don't you really want to know what kind of person Xie Yan is?"

Her cold tone carried no emotion, but my heart suddenly tightened.

I couldn't help but recall the things that had happened to Xie Yan, such as his bloodlust, teleportation, and the murder that Xu Qiang had mentioned.

When I thought about it, I realized that anyone who had met Xie Yan and either tried to kill me or threatened me had all disappeared without exception.

No, there was also Xu Qiang.

I suddenly raised my head and retorted, "What evidence do you have to say that?"

"Evidence?" Shen Yue suddenly burst into laughter. After she had laughed enough, she stared at me again. She waved at me, "Gu Mian, come here. I'll show you what kind of person Xie Yan really is."

I felt a chill all over my body when I heard Shen Yue's hoarse and low voice, but I couldn't help but follow her.

After walking through the woods in the community, Shen Yue, wearing a white dress, stopped under a big tree. She didn't turn around and said, "Come out!"

I was taken aback by Shen Yue's words. Who was she asking to come out?

Me?

Before I could react, I heard a rustling sound. I looked in the direction of the sound, and a person's head emerged from the bushes.

Just then, I suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object falling behind me.

It was Shen Yue.

The moment I saw her, she was lying on the ground with her eyes closed and unconscious.

"Don't look."

A cold and sinister, old voice came with the cold wind. The moment I came to my senses, I saw the man who had been kneeling and lying on the ground stand up.

Who was this person?

He tilted his head back, and his hands hung down weakly by his sides. When I saw his heels turned outward from the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

He was standing on the ground with his ankles.

What on earth was this?

I was so scared that I stepped back. The moment I moved, I heard a clucking sound, the sound of bones rubbing against each other, in front of me. I raised my eyes and suddenly saw clearly the person in front of me.

It was actually Xu Qiang.

Why was Xu Qiang here?

What was going on with Shen Yue?

"Gu Mian, did you see him?" Xu Qiang said in a hoarse and slow voice. I frowned tightly and looked at Xu Qiang in disbelief.

His eyes were cloudy, and there was no focus when he looked at me.

"Gu Mian, he's dead. Look at his body. Do you still think Xie Yan is a good person? This is what your husband did. He won't let go of anyone who makes him unhappy."

After Xu Qiang finished saying this long string of words, my mind went blank for a moment.

Now I knew why I thought Xu Qiang was strange, because his tone of speaking was exactly the same as Shen Yue's.

"Who on earth are you?" I choked out the words, and my body began to uncontrollably want to move away from this monster.

"Gu Mian."

Xu Qiang didn't give me a chance. Just the next second, a person suddenly appeared in front of me. A familiar, deep woody fragrance passed by the tip of my nose.

It was Xie Yan.

I looked at Xie Yan's straight back, which was tense. An inviolable chill emanated from his whole body.

This was a Xie Yan I had never seen before.

I reached out my hand to pull Xie Yan, wanting to ask him what had happened. Why did I always feel that everything around me was so confusing and I couldn't see the truth clearly?

The moment my fingertips touched Xie Yan, I heard Xu Qiang speak again, "Brother, I've found you two."

The "you two" that Xu Qiang mentioned should refer to me and Xie Yan.

My personal relationship with Xie Yan wasn't very deep. Before I could understand the meaning of Xu Qiang's words, I suddenly saw Xie Yan wave his big hand, and Xu Qiang not far away fell to the ground.

Looking from a distance, Xu Qiang's stiff lips were still in the shape of opening his mouth.

When I looked at it, I just felt a sense of familiarity. He was calling Xie Yan, "brother"?

Jiang Huai took care of the bodies of Xu Qiang and Shen Yue. At first, I didn't agree, but Xie Yan insisted, "Mianmian, Jiang Huai will handle this well. What you need now is to rest."

"But, what exactly happened to them?" I couldn't understand.

Xie Yan didn't give me a chance to delve deeper. He took my hand and led me home. Xie Yan settled me on the sofa and thoughtfully covered me with a blanket.

The moment he got up and was about to leave, I quickly got up and grabbed Xie Yan's arm.

The thick gauze on my palm prevented me from feeling Xie Yan's reaction. I raised my eyes and looked at Xie Yan's profile inquiringly. He stopped and turned to look at me. "What's wrong?"

At this time, Xie Yan's face was still a bit pale. Perhaps it was my illusion, but I always felt that there was something hidden in Xie Yan's deep eyes that I couldn't see.

"Xie Yan, do you regret marrying me?" I asked carefully.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan frowned. A look of hesitation appeared on his handsome face, but it was quickly replaced by tenderness. He turned his hand and held mine in his palm.

"Mianmian is thinking too much again."

Xie Yan sat beside me. Probably because I had just experienced something incredible, I felt a bit unfamiliar looking at Xie Yan's face.

I subtly let go of Xie Yan's hand. Just then, the door was opened from the outside.

"Mr. Xie." Jiang Huai clasped his hands in front of him and hung his head. After getting Xie Yan's permission with a glance, he continued, "Miss Shen has been sent home. Mr. Xu Qiang is a bit troublesome."

Xie Yan nodded. I couldn't help but ask, "What's so troublesome about Xu Qiang?"

Xu Qiang should already be dead.

But just now, Xu Qiang had really appeared in front of me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Xie Yan looking at me. I ignored Xie Yan's inquiring look and continued to ask Jiang Huai, "What's so troublesome about Xu Qiang?"

Jiang Huai stood in front of me, but he didn't look at me. He just half-lowered his eyes in the direction of Xie Yan. After a long time, Xie Yan said, "Didn't you hear Mianmian's question?"

Was he allowing Jiang Huai to speak?

I was very surprised that Xie Yan would allow Jiang Huai to tell the truth in front of me. Besides being surprised, I turned my gaze to Jiang Huai. After thinking for a while, Jiang Huai said, "Xu Qiang was seriously injured. Many of his joints were damaged, and he has been sent abroad for treatment."

Jiang Huai always spoke slowly and indifferently, and he rarely said so many words in front of me.

Looking at Jiang Huai, I remembered Xu Qiang's strange posture. So his joints were injured?

In that case, the strangeness of his hands and feet could be explained.

Jiang Huai stood there quietly. I looked at Jiang Huai's face with an exotic look and hesitated for a moment. I felt that something was not quite right, but I couldn't think of it for a while.

"Mianmian, are you still worried about Xu Qiang?" Xie Yan suddenly said.

I was taken aback and shook my head. "No, I'm just curious why the statements are different."

The police said that Xu Qiang had been cremated.

But Jiang Huai said that Xu Qiang had been sent abroad for treatment.
