“Did you participate in this matter?”

Su Jinxuan asked, looking at Wu Yao with an unkind gaze.

Wu Yao's eyes flickered, and he did not immediately answer Su Jinxuan's question.

Seeing this, what else was there for Su Jinxuan not to know?

“This plan, it wasn’t your idea, was it?”

“You truly are a ruthless person.”

Su Jinxuan caressed the knife, his gaze deep as he looked at Wu Yao.

Wu Yao didn't expect Su Jinxuan to think that way, and he instinctively retorted, “I didn't participate in this matter. I only found out about it later.

Li Mei would do anything for her youngest son.”

Wu Yao looked at Su Jinxuan anxiously, explaining.

He would not take the blame for Li Mei. Wu Yao only wanted revenge in his heart.

Su Jinxuan observed his expression, and after confirming he wasn't lying, he put the knife away.

He had only drawn the knife to add more intimidation. Now that he had the answer to his question, he saw no need to keep up the pretense.

Wu Yao was a very dangerous person, and Su Jinxuan knew he couldn't beat him.

Just as he had said, he had been hit only because he hadn't fought back. If he had fought back, Su Jinxuan felt certain he would not be his match.

It seemed this man had gained some opportunities after being harmed by Li Mei.

Su Jinxuan's eyes flickered. He wondered if he would share the opportunities he had gained with him.

Just as he was about to ask, Shi Xu's footsteps reached his and Wu Yao's ears.

When Wu Yao saw someone coming, he immediately ran back into the room and locked the door.

Su Jinxuan frowned, watching his extremely fast movements.

“You’re here. I thought you had gone somewhere.”

Shi Xu saw Su Jinxuan looking perfectly fine and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

“Shi Xu, if you hadn't come over just now, I could have asked Wu Yao more questions.”

“As soon as you arrived, he ran off.”

Su Jinxuan looked at Shi Xu with a troubled expression, unhappy.

Shi Xu saw his unhappy face and didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally explained, “Mianmian was worried about you and asked me to come find you.”

Shi Xu hadn't expected to ruin Su Jinxuan's plans. He was merely following Su Mianmian's orders.

He shook his head, unsure what to say.

Su Jinxuan ignored him, turned around, and left.

Shi Xu watched him go back, shook his head, and followed him.

As soon as they returned to the seventeenth floor, Shi Xu heard Su Jinxuan complaining to Su Mianmian.

“Mianmian, as soon as Shi Xu arrived, Wu Yao went into his room. It's too infuriating!”

“I still had so many questions I wanted to ask him!”

Su Jinxuan looked at Su Mianmian in front of him, annoyed.

Su Mianmian looked at the unhappy Su Jinxuan, unsure what to say for a moment.

“Brother, if you want to blame someone for this, blame me. I was worried about you going to find Wu Yao alone, so I asked Shi Xu to follow you.”

“He didn’t know that going would ruin your plans, so don’t blame him.”

“If you absolutely must blame someone, then blame me.”

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan helplessly, embarrassed.

She truly felt that Wu Yao was very dangerous. If Su Jinxuan angered him, he wouldn't be able to handle Wu Yao alone.

This was also one of the reasons she had called Shi Xu over.

How could Su Jinxuan dare to blame Su Mianmian? He looked at the helpless Su Mianmian and quickly explained, “Mianmian, how could I possibly blame you?

But you're right, Wu Yao is indeed very dangerous.

I felt it. If he really wanted to fight me, I genuinely might not be able to beat him.”

Su Jinxuan scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian looked at him with a puzzled expression, as if she hadn't expected him to admit the truth like that.

Under Su Mianmian's scrutiny, Su Jinxuan felt uncomfortable all over.

“Mianmian, don't look at me like that.”

“Oh, right, my unconsciousness has nothing to do with Wu Yao. He said it was all Li Mei and Su Ran's doing.”

“And another thing is, I feel like he's not the original Wu Yao.”

Su Jinxuan frowned, voicing his suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Su Mianmian felt something was off.

If this wasn't the former Wu Yao, then who could he be?

Su Mianmian suddenly thought of herself, and she immediately became nervous.

Could it be that besides her, other people had also transmigrated into this world?

Su Mianmian wanted to meet Wu Yao.

“Brother, I want to meet Wu Yao.”

“This person is simply too suspicious.”

Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan seriously, brooking no argument.

Su Jinxuan initially didn't want to agree, but then Shi Xu walked over and readily agreed to Su Mianmian's request.

He turned his head to look at Shi Xu in confusion, not understanding why he would agree to Su Mianmian meeting Wu Yao.

Shi Xu didn't look at him; his gaze was on Su Mianmian the entire time.

“Mianmian, if you want to go, then go. I support you.”

“However, for safety, I will go with you.”

“But you can rest assured, when you talk, I won't come over, nor will I deliberately try to listen.”

Shi Xu's agreement came with conditions. Upon hearing them, Su Mianmian immediately agreed.

She trusted Shi Xu; since he said so, he would definitely keep his word.

When Wu Yao heard the knocking, his expression immediately darkened.

Never had there been a moment when he hated knocking so much.

He flung open the door, about to scold the person outside, but then he saw a woman standing there.

Wu Yao's anger caught in his throat, unable to go up or down, and his expression became distorted for a moment.

Su Mianmian looked at him innocently, as if she hadn't noticed his unusual demeanor.

“Wu Yao, you should know who I am, right?”

“I came to see you today because I have some things to ask you.”

Su Mianmian said directly.

Wu Yao nodded and opened the door to let her in.

Su Mianmian did not refuse, nodding as she entered.

Wu Yao didn't close the door, perhaps out of consideration that the person entering was a woman; he left the door ajar.

Outside, Shi Xu saw this and nodded slightly, his expression softening considerably.

Su Mianmian greatly appreciated Wu Yao's behavior. Although she didn't say anything, her expression became much more sincere.

“Wu Yao, you're not the Wu Yao of this world, are you?”

“Let me guess, did you come from somewhere else?”

Su Mianmian looked at Wu Yao with certainty, stating her conviction.

Wu Yao hadn't expected her to say that, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He just stared at her, and after an unknown period, he finally said with a dry throat, “How could I not be the Wu Yao of this world? Don't talk nonsense.”

Su Mianmian saw his reaction just now and knew her guess was correct.

His current rebuttal had no strength at all; it was just for show. Listening to it was out of the question.

“You don't need to argue anymore; I understood from your reaction.”

“Did you only truly gain control of this body recently?”

Su Mianmian thought about Wu Yao from the previous period and Wu Yao from this period, and she felt this possibility was very high.

He might not be like her; she had gained control of the body as soon as she transmigrated. Wu Yao must have struggled with the original Wu Yao for a long time before finally gaining control of this body.

Wu Yao had quite a difficult time, Su Mianmian thought to herself, looking at him with a hint of amusement.

“How do you know everything?”

“Are you also...?”

Wu Yao looked at Su Mianmian suspiciously. He had the original Wu Yao's memories, so of course, he knew that the person in front of him was Su Mianmian, the sister of the man who had just come to find him.

What he didn't understand was what he had done wrong to have his secret discovered by her so easily.

Wu Yao looked at her with a conflicted expression, wondering whether he should eliminate her now that she knew his secret.

Su Mianmian seemed to sense the faint, almost imperceptible killing intent directed at her from Wu Yao.

She couldn't help but smile.

“Wu Yao, I won't tell anyone about this, and even if I did, no one would believe it.”

“The reason I came to find you was simply to confirm these things.”

Su Mianmian looked at Wu Yao calmly, without any fear.

Not only was Shi Xu outside, vigilant for her safety, but she also didn't believe in her heart that Wu Yao would kill her.
