Ning Mu woke up in a daze and realized that he had died. Watching Shen Miao do all this, he fell silent for a long while before taking care of some loose ends for her, going so far as to disguise his own death as a suicide.
Jiangli looked at Ning Mu and really didn’t know what to say.
"You’ve done so much for him. Don’t you want to know what your death means to him?"
Jiangli suddenly asked.
Ning Mu looked up at her, without time to ponder the meaning behind Jiangli’s words, he instinctively pleaded, "I beg you, please don’t call the police, okay? I’m begging you..."
Shang Junxiao was losing his patience and wanted to rush up to shake Ning Mu awake.
Xia Xin, seeing this, grabbed Shang Junxiao, shook his head at him, signaling for him to calm down and wait patiently.
He felt that the Abbot would not agree to Ning Mu’s request, the Abbot would definitely not allow the real culprit to get off scot-free.
Before Shang Junxiao could speak,
they heard Jiangli say, "Okay."
He and Shang Junxiao looked at Jiangli in astonishment.
Fu Shiyan’s gaze also couldn’t help but settle on Jiangli’s small face.
Jiangli looked at Ning Mu, smiled, "Fine, I agree to your request. I won’t call the cops, but you have to come with me and play a part in a little drama."
Ning Mu, hearing this, was overjoyed and agreed without a second thought, "As long as you don’t call the police, I’ll do whatever you ask."
Shang Junxiao felt a surge of anger, his mind going blank, all he could think about was what on earth the Abbot was doing!
Xia Xin also never expected the Abbot to agree!
The air seemed to be filled with the sound of faces being slapped.
Wasn’t this slap in the face a bit too swift?
Xia Xin felt his own face swelling.
At this moment, Jiangli gave Ning Mu a smile, very gentle in appearance.
The next second, she pulled out a Soul-Collecting Talisman and collected Ning Mu’s soul into it.
Then, she took out another talisman and wrapped it around the Soul-Collecting Talisman.
"Abbot, what are you doing? Are you really going to do as Ning Mu says and let that Shen Miao get away with everything?" Seeing this, Shang Junxiao snapped back to his senses, his illusion about Jiangli was about to shatter.
Jiangli glanced at him and, without saying another word, headed straight downstairs.
"Abbot, I’m talking to you, why don’t you answer me?"
Shang Junxiao, seeing this and getting anxious, quickened his pace to catch up.
Fu Shiyan wrapped an arm around him and said in a low voice without much emotion, "Don’t talk too much."
Shang Junxiao was frantic: "Shiyan, what’s the time now, and you’re still protecting the Abbot? Look at her, she’s not even arresting the murderer! Shiyan, you can’t keep protecting her !"
Fu Shiyan’s face turned cold, "It seems you really need to go to military school."
Shang Junxiao choked, his frustration boiling over: "Shiyan!"
Fu Shiyan gave him a cold look and turned to leave.
Shang Junxiao, frustrated and stamping his foot, didn’t dare to follow.
Xia Xin also walked over, grabbed his arm, and as they headed downstairs, he said, "Mr. Shang, believe in our Abbot, I trust that our Abbot wouldn’t..."
"Do you believe it yourself?" Shang Junxiao interrupted him impatiently, "Didn’t you hear what she just said? I thought the Abbot was really a good person, but now she’s just messing around!"
Although Xia Xin’s face was metaphorically slapped raw, hearing someone talk about his Abbot in such a manner made him unhappy, and he immediately replied, "Mr. Shang, watch what you’re saying. When has our Abbot ever been so heartless? Our Abbot always has her own plans for what she does. Just wait and you’ll see, I’ll go ask in a bit, maybe the Abbot has another strategy."
