Although Su Ziluo sensed something, he didn't say anything or ask about it. He pretended not to know anything.
His gentle gaze looked at Li Shiyan absent-mindedly eating the half-eaten snack in his hand. He faintly asked, "Is it delicious?"
Normally, would he ask such a question?
Therefore, this question was very strange, without any "order" to speak of. Li Shiyan was stunned by his question and almost choked on his own words. He hurriedly swallowed the snack in his mouth with all his might. His dry lips twitched slightly as he nodded and said, "It's delicious. Of course it's delicious. These are all my favorites.
Of course it's delicious! "
He didn't notice that he had said "delicious" three times! Li Shiyan's unintentional words sounded very normal, but when Su Ziluo heard them, he felt that Li Shiyan was acting a bit strange and guilty. His eyes slightly moved and a smile spread across his face. "Good, as long as you like it. You can eat slowly, I'll leave."
Let's go. "
With that, he planned to turn his wheelchair and leave the house. However, the next moment, Li Shiyan threw away the snacks in his hand and quickly grabbed the handle of his wheelchair. "You're leaving just like that?"
He thought that Su Ziluo came to see him early in the morning, but only under the guise of delivering desserts. In reality, he wanted to discuss the case with him. Who would have thought that Su Ziluo would leave so quickly? Not a single word, not even a reminder. Su Ziluo glanced at the hand clutching his wheelchair. His brows twitched as he said, "Since I've already given you my heart, I have to leave. After all, you are now a suspect, so I can't stay here any longer.
Avoid arousing suspicion! “
"Although it's to avoid arousing suspicion, don't you have anything else to tell me?"
"Something else? What is it? " Li Shiyan vigilantly glanced at the elite soldier standing guard outside the door. His body slightly leaned forward, his pair of peach blossom eyes tightly narrowed, and with a warning tone, he said, "For example, did you find any evidence? Or what I should do to defend myself.
Get rid of suspicion? "
Su Ziluo replied without hesitation, "I didn't find any evidence, and there's nothing you can do here."
"Then I'm dead for sure?" Li Shiyan felt a trace of disappointment in the bottom of his heart. However, this feeling was immediately concealed by him. "If you're not here for this matter, then what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to give you some snacks!" Su Ziluo spoke in a serious tone. He really did come to deliver food to Li Shiyan and had no other intentions. However, Li Shiyan couldn't be blamed for overthinking things. After all, Su Ziluo was an extraordinarily resourceful and intelligent person. His every word, expression, and even action would make people think that he was plotting something. Li Shiyan couldn't help but wonder if Su Ziluo was scheming something.
So, how could he not think too much when he sent desserts for no reason? Li Shiyan let go of his wheelchair and sighed heavily. He bitterly said, "I thought you had already thought of a way to help me. It seems that I was happy for nothing. I'm afraid that if this goes on, I will really be thrown into the Supreme Court's prison, and then …"
He died. "
Although he spoke in a weak voice, his heart still clung to his last hope. It was Ji Yunshu! He trusted her and waited for her. He believed that he would be able to leave this place with a clean record. He would make those who wrongly accused him or ridiculed him stare at him with their eyes wide open. He, Li Shiyan, was an undying phoenix that could be reborn from the ashes! But …
In order to cover up the fact that Ji Yunshu was secretly helping him, he had no choice but to act a little embarrassed and apprehensive in front of Su Ziluo. Su Ziluo's expression was calm. Although he could see that Li Shiyan was worried, he still felt that something was amiss. However, it was not the right time to ask, so he did not reveal his suspicions. Instead, he consoled Li Shiyan, "Although I'm trying to protect you and believe that you didn't kill anyone, if I were to openly investigate this matter, I would be suspected of interfering with the Supreme Court's investigation. As the saying goes, if one is not involved in politics, one does not seek out one's job. The only thing I can do is to ensure that the Supreme Court's evidence is unquestionable.
I've wronged you! However, the Supreme Court's Lord Huang has always been cautious and I believe he won't act recklessly. Of course, it's not that I don't want to help you. I just want to avoid the Supreme Court's people. "
Li Shiyan felt relieved when he heard this. After all, the two of them had known each other for many years. If Su Ziluo said he would help him, he would definitely do so.
"Then, I'll wait for your good news!"
"You stay here and don't try to escape. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you." "I'm not that stupid, so don't worry." Li Shiyan previously thought that he had killed someone and fled in a moment of panic. However, Wang Huai's death had nothing to do with him. If he fled again, even if he had nothing to do with it, he would not be able to clear his name.
。
Naturally, he would obediently wait here.
After Su Ziluo left, Qi 'er took his wheelchair and pushed him out. The soldier was about to close the door when he heard a voice from outside. "Let me in. Why are you blocking my way? Don't you know who I am? Go away! "
'Huh?
It was Zhao Quanzhi's voice.
'Wasn't he summoned by Lord Huang for questioning? Why is he here? '
Zhao Quanzhi's voice was heard before he saw him. He was carrying a pot of wine as he barged in from outside. As he rushed in, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shi Yan, I'm here to see you. Shi Yan …" The elite soldier who was guarding outside chased after him with a troubled expression. It wasn't that he really couldn't stop Zhao Quanzhi, but he was the son of the Governor of Jiang Guang after all. If he barged in like this, he couldn't possibly draw his sword and stop him, right? If he injured Zhao Quanzhi, he would be in deep trouble.
If Governor Jiang Guang were to blame him, he would not be able to bear the consequences. Thus, he could only try to persuade him, "Young Master Zhao, you cannot enter. Official Huang has ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
No one is allowed in?
But the moment Zhao Quanzhi entered, he saw Su Ziluo coming out of his room.
'Hmph!'
He was furious. He was the son of Governor Jiang Guang. His status wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. How could he be treated in such a manner? He roared, "General Su can come in, so why can't I?"
The soldier was speechless.
He couldn't explain himself!
Zhao Quanzhi had always respected General Su, so he couldn't afford to be rude in front of him. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect General Su to be here. You must be here to see Shi Yan."
Su Ziluo nodded. "Young Master Zhao, what are you doing?" Zhao Quan waved the jug of wine in his hand and said, "I was afraid that Shi Yan would be bored after being locked up here, so I brought him a jug of wine so that he can have a taste of it." With that, he yelled into the door, "Shi Yan, I brought you wine!
。”
The soldier beside him said, "Young Master Zhao, the heir is locked up now. You can't bring wine in."
"But I'm already in here!" Zhao Quanzhi glared at him.
The soldier was speechless.
Hearing a familiar voice, Li Shiyan walked to the door and saw Zhao Quanzhi standing in the courtyard. He asked, "Zhao Quanzhi, what are you doing here?" Zhao Quanzhi had only come in to see him under the guise of delivering wine. Now that he saw that he was safe and sound, he was relieved. He raised the wine in his hand and said, "Shi Yan, I brought you wine. It's your favorite osmanthus wine. I know you're bored here.
I know you're bored here, so I brought you wine to relieve your boredom. "
"You're worried about me, so you know I lack wine." Zhao Quanzhi walked over quickly and handed him the wine as soon as he reached the door. But when he saw that there were still a few plates of delicious pastries on the table inside, he said, "You rascal, we were worried about you outside, but you're so happy here.
If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you wine. "
Li Shiyan chuckled. Naturally, he was unwilling to let go of the wine in his hand. Clenching his fist, he punched Zhao Quanzhi's chest and said, "I know you treat me as a brother. When I get out of here, I will definitely drink three cups of wine with you."
"I'll be waiting!" Zhao Quanzhi said. "They all say that you killed someone, but I don't believe them. You're only good at talking, but you're not capable of killing someone. I believe you, and I'll definitely help you!"
