Chapter 85 — Xia Xue's Contradiction

"Xia Xue, oh, Xia Xue, what am I supposed to say to you?" Yang Ce shook his head helplessly. "If Wang Pu is the one who killed Su Dazhi, and he's also the mastermind behind the smuggling—then do you think his troubles are small? He's doomed either way, so he might as well take the risk and get rid of you—maybe he'll even save his own skin."

"Ah." Xia Xue clearly hadn't considered any of this. Hearing Yang Ce's analysis, she was somewhat stunned. "You mean Wang Pu really might kill me? I thought he'd try to buy me off with money."

"With that reckless, tiger-mad personality of yours, do you think there's much chance of you being bought off? Is Wang Pu an idiot?" Yang Ce rolled his eyes. "Miss, I think you'd better not go wandering the streets these next few days. I don't want the next time I see you to be as a corpse."

"..." Though Xia Xue was unhappy with Yang Ce's words, she had no rebuttal. Indeed, she was still immature—she thought about things too simply, always idealizing them, when in reality that wasn't how things worked at all.

At this thought, Xia Xue began to feel frightened in retrospect. If things really were as Yang Ce said, then she truly was in danger.
