Chapter 599: Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Catching Someone in the Act Chapter 599: Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety-Nine: Catching Someone in the Act “Where’s the stuff?”

A voice asked in the darkness.

“It’s in that pile of grass over there, I’ll lead you to it,”
Another voice replied.

“Hurry up, or I can’t guarantee your safety,”
This time, a tall and gloomy voice spoke.

“I’m doing this for my sister and brother-in-law, if even my safety isn’t assured, you can get lost,”
An unexpected female voice softly rose in the silent night, extraordinarily clear. Although the content of their speech was indistinct, the few people in the darkness widened their eyes. Why was it her?!

The gloomy voice snorted coldly, not knowing whether it was because he found it troublesome, but he still stood by the wall and waited.

Inside the small western-style building, a family was anxiously ready to rush out, but was stopped by Lu Hao, “Wait two more minutes and see,”
The two men who had already squatted in front had one of them who seemed to be a fire element ability user; his fingertips ignited a small flame, then drew close to the wooden box.

The moment he lit the fuse, he stood up and bolted, and the tall figure waiting by the wall had already sprinted away!

“You…”

The woman asked incredulously, but the next second, several blinding high beams illuminated the back of the small western-style house.

The man trapped in the formation realized he couldn’t escape, but being discovered was secondary, the bomb!!!

The man and woman looked back simultaneously, only to see that the long fuse they had pulled out had already been extinguished.

“Xiao Yu, why is it you?”

Wu Xingye couldn’t believe his eyes, could it really be as Long Aotian and the others had said?

And was this person the familiar Xiao Yu known by everyone at True Martial Sect?

“Teacher Wu, why are you all here?”

Xiao Yu reverted to her previous tone of voice, seemingly at a loss again.

“Uncle Wu and the others are of course the witnesses we invited. How about it? Are you surprised? Although I’m surprised too,”
At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan also emerged from behind with his family. He looked at Xiao Yu, who had collapsed on the ground and said.

The girl had previously smiled sweetly at him and served tea; he could never have imagined that behind her smile was such a person, truly terrifying.

“Did you discover it early on?”

Xiao Yu looked around and then realized that these people were waiting for them to take the bait.

“Xiao Yu, why did you do this?!”

The one most eager to clarify the truth here was Wu Xingye. Although Xiao Yu joined True Martial Sect after the apocalypse, she was young and industrious, liked by everyone in the sect. But why would she do such a thing?

“Teacher Wu, I was forced to do it, my, my sister is in their hands, if I didn’t do this, my sister would be in great danger,”
Xiao Yu hung her head low and said, trying hard to salvage something.

“Who the fuck tied me up? Let me go!”

From behind the small western-style building, a series of cursing voices carried over. Everyone present had heard this voice before; it was the person who had lit the fuse and then immediately ran away.

“Caught a stray one, nearly let him get away.”

Su Xiangzhe, dragging a piece of rope, forcibly pulled the man over. Although the man was tall, Su Xiangzhe was not shorter than him and was even more robust by a good measure.

Upon seeing the man, Lu Hao took the opportunity when others weren’t paying attention to undo the Confinement Formation around Xiao Yu and another person. Then he said to Xiao Yu on the ground, “Your sister seems to have planned to sacrifice you. If I’m not wrong, you only just found out that this Speed Element Ability User didn’t intend to take you with him, right?”

Xiao Yu bit her lip upon hearing this. Indeed, that Zhang Ming had run away right after they ignited the fuse, without any intention to follow through with their agreement to take her away!

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Lu Hao continued with his conjecture, “This matter involved both you and your sister, but since your sister is not from the True Martial Sect, the only one who could carry out the act within the sect was you, who are well-concealed in its ranks. But your sister had made preparations to sacrifice you in advance. So why did she want to sacrifice you, a pawn that might still be useful in the future?”

“That’s right, she planned to use your death to frame the True Martial Sect. If the bomb had gone off and something happened to our people, the Base’s people would naturally suspect that Base Leader Liu Jianyuan was behind it. At that time, your usefulness would come into play. The scene is in the backyard of the True Martial Sect, and among the corpses, yours would be found–someone who had the closest relationship with Uncle Wu within the sect. That would be the evidence.”

“At that point, it would be difficult for the True Martial Sect to defend themselves, being as tongue-tied as if they had swallowed bitter herbs. Your sister really did think well for the Base Leader, and played a good game of chess.”

Lying on the ground, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but start shaking uncontrollably after hearing this. She knew that what this person was saying was all true. Even though she didn’t want to believe it, the reality was right before her eyes.

So her role was just to serve as evidence. Then why did her sister bother to find her? Why disturb her life?!

“Xiao Yu, you shouldn’t be this way. Teacher Wu has been raising you as if you were his own daughter,”
Bu Hong said disappointedly, looking down at Xiao Yu on the ground.

“My sister, she’s the only family I have left in this world. When she came to me for help, I was initially unwilling, but she told me not to be unsupportive. After the deed, she said she would let me move in and live with her. I thought that this matter wouldn’t hurt Teacher Wu and everyone else, so I agreed to my sister’s request,”
Xiao Yu said through her tears.

“Hmph, making yourself out to be so innocent. You knew you could move into the Base Leader’s residence, that’s why you agreed, right? Ren Qin is just your cousin, I can hardly believe you two share such deep sisterly love,”
Speed Element Ability User Zhang Ming sneered from the side. He had never been able to stand this Xiao Yu’s behavior. Hearing her clear herself of any wrongdoing, he couldn’t restrain himself from wanting to expose her.

“Zhang Ming, you! Teacher Wu, Big Brother Bu, you must believe what I’m saying,”
Xiao Yu wished she could tear Zhang Ming’s mouth off; this Zhang Ming had always been protective of his cousin in the past.

“Xiao Yu, as you know, there’s a significant relationship between the True Martial Sect and the Base Leader. Even if you claim to be innocent, when you decide to move in with your sister, it already implies taking a stand against the True Martial Sect,”
Bu Hong took another look at Xiao Yu, his eyes now devoid of any emotion.

Lin Xiuyuan, on the other hand, took a longer glance at Bu Hong, the leading disciple of Wu Xingye, who turned out to be a clear-headed individual.

“Uncle Wu, we’ll take these three into our custody. You don’t have any objections, do you?”

Lin Xiuyuan asked.

“I… have no objections. Let’s consider that this person has never been part of the True Martial Sect. I will visit to apologize another day; it is I who have troubled everyone,”
Under the light, Wu Xingye spoke with resolution.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu burst into loud wailing.
