The Thirteenth Master pointed at Li Weixi. "Do you know this girl from two years ago?"
Wu Min swallowed and nodded. "I do, but she was only eight or nine years old at that time."
"Go on."
"A woman sent her to the hospital and asked us to save her …"
Zhao Qian interrupted him. "I have already told you all this. You can tell me about the deal you made."
Wu Min glared at him and started from the beginning. "When she left with the little girl, we only thought that she was an irresponsible mother and didn't think much of it. But that night, she brought the little girl to my house and asked me to do something for her. She even gave me a large sum of money."
"She looked for me and asked me to buy a new memory-disrupting drug. She wanted me to inject it into this little girl."
Lin Yi remembered this drug because he had also bought it for The Thirteenth Master to teach people a lesson. However, this drug had side effects, so he stopped buying it later.
Thinking that Li Weixi might have used this drug, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with anger.
He pursed his lips and said coldly, "Go on."
Sensing the man's displeasure, Wu Min couldn't help but shrink his neck and hurriedly said, "But I didn't inject this drug into her. When I was about to give her the drug, she happened to be awake for a while and seemed to have really lost her memory. So I hid the drug and planned to make a fortune by cheating that woman."
Wu Min stopped talking at this point.
The Thirteenth Master kicked him under the table. "Go on."
Wu Min turned his head and looked at him bitterly. "No, that's all I know."
"Okay, now I ask and you answer." The Thirteenth Master moved his chair so that he was facing him. "Are you sure that the girl sitting in front of you is the little girl from back then?"
"I'm sure." Wu Min hurriedly said, "Although there are some changes, she looks exactly the same as the girl from back then. Also, her adoptive mother treated her so badly that I couldn't bear to see it."
"Adoptive mother?" The Thirteenth Master frowned. "She mentioned it in front of you?"
"At that time, she was on the phone with someone. When she talked about this girl, she was very disdainful. I asked her to treat her daughter better, but she said that this girl was adopted by her and her husband. She was usually disobedient and the couple didn't like her."
"Adopted?" Li Weixi raised her voice. When she saw that some people were looking at her, she lowered her voice. "She actually said such things?"
Wu Min sensed that there seemed to be other entanglements, so he tactfully shut his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.
The Thirteenth Master said it for him. "It was Xu Shaohua who did it. Lin Yi and I found that at the same time as we encountered that incident, Xu Shaohua faked your death and publicized it to the public. You, who were alive, became the girl she adopted."
"How could she do that?" Li Weixi was in disbelief. She had never known about this, nor did she know that her current identity was just an adopted daughter.
Thinking that her bedridden father might have been kept in the dark, Li Weixi was so angry that tears flowed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"She went too far. Not only did she covet my family's property, but she also treated me like this. She made my father and I lose our blood relationship."
Lin Yi took her into his arms. Seeing her crying so sadly, his heart ached. Before The Thirteenth Master gave him the results of the investigation, he didn't know that such a thing had happened.
Lin Yi regretted his decision for the first time when he thought that he had supported such a vicious woman. Seeing the girl's tears, he hated himself even more for indulging Xu Shaohua.
"I'm sorry." The man's deep voice sounded above Li Weixi's head. His voice was full of heartache and regret.
Li Weixi didn't have time to think too much. She only felt that her heart was filled with anger and sadness, and she couldn't think straight.
After a long while, she bit her lip and asked word by word, "So, what happened back then?"
The Thirteenth Master glanced at Lin Yi and said slowly, "Before you transferred to another school, we went to the same primary school. At that time, I was the most favored child in the family. It could even be said that I was doted on by the whole family. You know, there are a lot of disputes in a big family. At that time, the mother of the brother who had the best relationship with me was afraid that her son would be taken advantage of in the future, so she sent someone to kill me."
"That day, it was a spring outing organized by the school. Lin Yi and I had been together all the time. The killer mistook him for me and was about to kill him. At that time, we couldn't dodge in time, but you rushed out from nowhere, hugged him, and blocked the bullet for him."
Lin Yi's throat moved slightly, as if he didn't want to recall this incident.
"When we heard the gunshot, our bodyguards immediately rushed over and subdued the person. After sending you to the hospital, we also went home. We wanted to visit you the next day, but when we arrived, we only received the news that you had been taken away by your adoptive mother."
"Speaking of which, you are our savior." The Thirteenth Master reached out and touched Li Weixi's head across the table. "We go to Nanshan Cemetery every year to sweep the graves. It seems that we don't have to this year."
Li Weixi listened in a daze. His mind was fuzzy, and he actually had an impression of it.
Her lips trembled and she squeezed out a sentence with difficulty. "It's good that you are fine. I am fine now, but my father …"
"Your father will be fine. He has already undergone surgery. Didn't the doctor say so?" Lin Yi coaxed gently. "When we go back this time, we will ask the doctor again. He will be fine. As for Xu Shaohua, her good days are coming to an end."
"You must not let her off." Li Weixi clutched Lin Yi's clothes tightly. The tears that she had tried so hard to hold back welled up again. "I can forgive everyone, but not her."
"I know. Don't worry. This time, I won't let her off."
Li Weixi nodded slowly. She glanced at Wu Min with a hint of anger in her eyes. "They can't either."
Zhao Qian trembled when he heard this and his chopsticks fell onto the table. "The Thirteenth Master, you promised me that as long as I helped you, everything would be fine."
The Thirteenth Master glanced at him vaguely, hinting at him not to say anything. He immediately shut his mouth and glanced at Lin Yi cautiously. He was no longer in the mood to eat.
At this moment, Wu Min was in the same mood as him. If he had known that this young lady would grow up with such a person, he would have helped her no matter what. Unfortunately, it was too late. This was retribution for all the things he had done.
