When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng mention the arrangement of returning to the Divine Court, his brows immediately furrowed.
She tugged at Jiang Xuecheng's sleeve, a hint of worry showing on her face.
"Xuecheng, don't you think this incident is very strange? First, they deliberately murdered both of us, and then they said they would transport the bodies to the headquarters of the Divine Court even though they didn't find them..."
Seeing that Jiang Xuecheng had been listening to him carefully and had not refuted anything from beginning to end, Su Wan felt more confident and began to put forward his own hypothesis.
"Xuecheng, these things are obviously someone targeting us, and I think no matter what, if they want to bring back a fake corpse, they must be confident that they can deceive the eyes of the high priest, but the high priest is not easy to deceive, unless..."
Su Wan didn't say anything else, but Jiang Xuecheng took over.
"Unless... the Divine Court is in chaos, and the High Priest has no intention of paying attention to this matter. Wanwan, is this what you want to say?"
Su Wan nodded immediately after Jiang Xuecheng revealed what she was thinking.
"Yes, that's what I mean!"
The two of them looked at each other and saw a bit of solemnity in each other's eyes.
—If Su Wan hadn’t been infected with the CHK virus, who would have the time to care about these messy things.
The world is so big. After their misunderstanding is cleared up, they can just find a beautiful place to relax.
Unfortunately, people are always troubled by some fetters.
"By the way, didn't you say last time that you thought Fiennes was the mastermind behind this? Do you think he did this just to become the son of the Divine Court?"
Jiang Xuecheng showed a faint smile at the corner of his lips. He nodded slightly at Su Wan, but quickly shook his head.
"You can say that, but if you define it exactly like that, you're underestimating him."
Su Wan was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of surprise appeared between his brows.
Why is it an underestimate to say that Fiennes wants to become the son of the Emperor of the Divine Court
Seeing that Su Wan was so confused, Jiang Xuecheng couldn't help but reach out and poke her head and started to give her some advice.
"Wanwan, do you think Fiennes's usual attitude is really respectful to the high priest?"
Su Wan finally woke up!
Her pupils suddenly widened, and she found the news unbelievable!
"You mean, he wants to completely overthrow the rule of the high priest?"
God, what ambition!
It turns out that she underestimated that man Fiennes...
But it makes sense. Being controlled by others like them may seem glorious on the surface, but there is always a time bomb above you that makes you uneasy all the time.
If there is no high priest, Fiennes will unite the four major families and control all the say in the Divine Court by himself. After he has gained power, he can gradually cross the river and demolish the bridge, and truly suppress the other three families.
Anyway, over the years, only the Siswell family has developed the best...
The more Su Wan thought about it, the more shocked she became. She recalled once again the day when she and Jiang Xuecheng left, and Fiennes' smiling face. On the surface, he wished them a safe journey, but in fact, he had already planned to let them die in a foreign land!
It's really cruel.
She is much more capable than his unreasonable sister. She can stab you without even showing any emotion!
"Now you understand? It seems you are not so stupid."
Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan's sudden enlightenment, so he narrowed his eyes, smiled and mocked Su Wan.
Su Wan was speechless after hearing this.
Why does this person always laugh at her low IQ? !
Even if he is narcissistic, there is no need to hit him like this!
Su Wan curled her lips in disdain at Jiang Xuecheng.
"Okay, okay, you are the smartest, okay? Now, please ask our smartest Mr. Jiang Xuecheng to explain to me how to arrive at the Divine Court headquarters safely in our current situation?"
The two of them don't even have enough living expenses now. When they fell from the car, naturally, all the money, property and documents became their possessions and none of them were with them anymore.
If they confessed their identities to the public, they could certainly return to the Divine Court, but they would definitely fall into the control of others again.
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan's angry face, he thought Su Wan looked so cute at this moment, and couldn't help but reached out and pinched Su Wan's face.
"Wanwan, you're so funny when you're bickering."
"I'm talking to you about something serious, be serious!"
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng and slapped his hand away in annoyance.
"First, we don't have the money to take the interstellar spacecraft. Second, we don't have the appropriate documents and it's impossible for us to reveal our identities. How do you think we can get back?"
And Su Wan has a biggest hidden worry in his heart.
Looking at Fiennes's arrogant look, he was probably really confident that his rebellion would succeed.
What if the high priest was killed by Fiennes
The only person who knew how to cure the CHK-3 virus died just like that. It would be a waste of time for her and Jiang Xuecheng to go back!
The only thing Su Wan prayed for was that the terrifying high priestess could hold on a little longer and not die easily at the hands of Fiennes.
I never thought that one day she would pray to the high priest in order to save her own life. I can only say that fate is full of irony.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan seriously, and then he gave an answer very calmly.
"This is actually not difficult. As long as we know the whereabouts of Executive Officer Lin, the two of us can return to the Divine Court."
Su Wan was shocked when she heard this and immediately grabbed Jiang Xuecheng's wrist.
"We finally managed to escape. You don't want to expose your identity to Executive Officer Lin?"
Jiang Xuecheng was speechless after hearing this. Why did Su Wan always think of him so...
Is he the kind of person who would automatically commit suicide?!
Jiang Xuecheng reached out and stroked Su Wan's hair, his voice calm.
"What are you thinking, Wanwan? Even if I want to meet him, I will definitely do it to catch him by surprise and capture him as a hostage in secret."
When Su Wan heard this, he felt even more nervous and uneasy.
"Are you sure you can do this?"
Jiang Xuecheng's voice was firm.
"That Executive Officer Lin is considered a local bully, and he doesn't think anyone can hurt him, so there aren't many experts around him. And he must have thought that the two of us were dead, so he wouldn't be on guard."
As Jiang Xuecheng spoke, a gloomy light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's stay here for a few more days. He will probably come back to Yanlu Town for inspection soon. We can wait until his vigilance is lowered and then take action."
Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng put it so simply, but the worry in her heart did not diminish at all.
She could only remain silent for a while, and finally decided to wait and see for a few days.
…
Jiang Xuecheng was not in a position to show up, so he usually relied on Su Wan to do some odd jobs to barely pay the rent. Fortunately, this place was poor, so even the cost of staying in a hotel was very cheap.
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng stayed in Yanlu Town for nearly a week. Finally, on the eighth day, Executive Officer Lin came to Yanlu Town for inspection.
