However, Shen Xi was still unwilling to believe that the person who saved her life in her previous life would want her dead in this life. There must be some misunderstanding. She had to find time to investigate.
Looking at Shen Xi’s expression, Guan Lei knew the answer. Guan Lei pulled Shen Xi and said, “Xi, I’m sorry that I’ve implicated you. Meng Yu wanted to make a move on me, so he used you.”
“Meng Yu?” Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei in confusion and asked, “Are you saying that his name is Meng Yu? You know him?”
From the moment Guan Lei passed by to the moment he fell off the cliff, Guan Lei and Meng Yu had never spoken to each other. Therefore, Guan Lei casually mentioned Meng Yu’s name and even mentioned the grudge between him and Meng Yu. It was obvious that they had known each other before.
Guan Lei felt a little uncomfortable. His eyes flickered twice, and then under Shen Xi’s gaze, he nodded helplessly, “Yes, I know him. He has some connections with my family. I had a brother, but he passed away because of an accident.”
Shen Xi’s eyes widened in shock. Her benefactor and Guan Lei’s family were enemies.
Guan Lei was silent for a moment, then said, “Meng Yu is my grandfather’s illegitimate son, so if he has the intention to fight for the family property, then there’s a high possibility that this time, he planned to use you to lure me here and kill me openly. He has been following me all these years. He must know how important you are to me.”
At this moment, Shen Xi’s mood was extremely complicated. She had thought that Guan Lei had been accidentally thrown off the cliff by her. She did not expect such a thing to happen.
If Meng Yu killed Guan Lei to seize the family property, then what would she do if her benefactor became Guan Lei’s enemy?
Shen Xi’s thick eyelashes blinked repeatedly as if she had not digested this information, and her mood was extremely unstable.
After a long while, Shen Xi opened her mouth hesitantly: “Could there be some misunderstanding?”
When Shen Xi said this, she did not feel confident. After all, she had only met Meng Yu once in her previous life. She did not know Meng Yu well. It was just that Meng Yu had once saved her, after all, allowing her to take revenge in her previous life. Therefore, Shen Xi still wanted to keep a little hope.
Shen Xi’s words caused Guan Lei’s originally nervous heart to sink. He was already injured to this extent, yet Xi was still speaking up for Meng Yu.
“But he let go of your hand on purpose. That’s an indisputable fact, isn’t it? He ignored your life and you still want to speak for him?” Guan Lei’s eyes were slightly red as he said unwillingly.
Shen Xi avoided Guan Lei’s questioning gaze. Her heart was in a mess.
“I’ll ask him.” Shen Xi lowered her head and whispered.
“And then? If he says he didn’t do it, will you choose to believe him?” Guan Lei turned Shen Xi’s face and asked with a sorrowful expression.
Shen Xi didn’t answer, but her expression was evasive, unwilling to answer.
Guan Lei only felt a hot liquid suddenly surge up his throat. Even though he couldn’t control it, Guan Lei still subconsciously lowered his head quickly to prevent the blood from splattering on Shen Xi’s face.
Shen Xi looked at Guan Lei, who had suddenly vomited blood and collapsed softly in front of her. She was instantly at a loss.
At this moment, a drone with a probe light appeared beside Shen Xi.
“Xi? Xi! I’m a father.” Shen Yan’s voice came from the drone. Shen Xi instantly looked at the drone with hope.
“Xi, are you okay? Are you hurt?” Lu Shan asked nervously through the drone. “Dad, Mom, I’m fine, but Guan Lei is seriously injured. ” Shen Xi shook her nead.
“Wait for a while,” Shen Yan said immediately. “I’ll send your location to Xue Li and the others. They’ll be down there soon.” Don’t be afraid, it’ll be quick.”
Guan Lei held on to his last bit of consciousness and said, “Xi, don’t leave me, okay? Even if you find Meng Yu, don’t leave me, okay?”
At this moment, Shen Xi was almost at a loss. She subconsciously nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t leave. I’ll always be with you. You must be well. I don’t want to fall out of love just after I have a boyfriend.”
Guan Lei was slightly amused by Shen Xi’s words. Then, his mind suddenly went blank and he lost consciousness.
Shen Xi held Guan Lei in her arms as tears streamed down her face. Lu Shan, who was at Cliff Mountain, felt very uncomfortable.
She didn’t know where Guan Lei’s parents were. If they knew that their son had been hurt like this, they would be so heartbroken..
