So, it’s better for Xiao Jingqi to go and report, quickly bringing people over. This way, it would be easier to catch them.

Thinking this, Xiao Jingqi gritted her teeth and said, "I’ll go report. You be careful and don’t show yourself!"

"Once I bring people here, we’ll act," Xiao Jingqi instructed.

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly. I’ll just watch them from here."

Hearing Xia Chuyi say that, Xiao Jingqi finally felt somewhat reassured and said, "I’ll be back soon!"

After speaking, Xiao Jingqi sprinted back along the path to alert others.

Meanwhile, Xia Chuyi, as she said herself, had no intention of showing herself.

Xia Chuyi hid in the alley, keeping an eye on Xia Lianlian and Mother Xia.

At this moment, Xia Lianlian in the front was still looking around.

Xia Chuyi’s gaze also swept around the surroundings.

This was a corner of the park’s lake, surrounded by trees, with nothing much to see.

Since this corner was slightly secluded, almost no one passed by.

Clearly, Xia Lianlian and the person she was meeting chose this secluded spot on purpose.

However, the person she was meeting seemed to be delayed and hadn’t shown up.

After waiting for a while, Xia Lianlian seemed to grow impatient.

Just at that moment, a man in work clothes, with a cap pulled down low, walked along the lake towards them.

As he approached Xia Lianlian, he looked around furtively.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi hid deeper in the alley to avoid being seen.

After feeling it was safe, Xia Chuyi cautiously peeked out again to observe the man in work clothes and Xia Lianlian. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The man in work clothes seemed to be saying something to Xia Lianlian.

Because of the distance, Xia Chuyi couldn’t hear a thing.

She only saw Xia Lianlian look a bit stunned after hearing the man.

Then, she saw Mother Xia suddenly appear very panicked.

Almost immediately, the man in work clothes pushed Mother Xia, and with a splash, she fell into the lake.

The series of changes happened so quickly that Xia Lianlian didn’t even have time to react.

Xia Chuyi was also shocked.

Then, she saw Xia Lianlian’s trembling body and her staring at the lake.

Xia Chuyi immediately frowned, focusing on the situation ahead.

Did the man in work clothes want to harm Mother Xia? Why?

And, wasn’t Xia Lianlian going to save her own mother?

Thinking of this, Xia Chuyi tightly pursed her lips.

From where Xia Chuyi stood, she couldn’t see what was happening to Mother Xia in the lake, so she had no idea of Mother Xia’s condition.

In Xia Chuyi’s memory, Mother Xia seemed to be unable to swim.

Though Xia Chuyi disliked Mother Xia, it was still a matter of life.

Her hands clenched into fists as she watched intently.

At this moment, Xia Chuyi didn’t know if she should go out.

Then, not knowing what the man in work clothes said, he turned and left.

Leaving Xia Lianlian trembling in place.

Xia Lianlian seemed to pause for a moment, glanced at the direction the man in work clothes left, then looked at the situation in the lake, finally stomped her foot and followed the man in work clothes away.

So, the situation was clear, the purpose of the man in work clothes was to kill Mother Xia.

Seeing the man in work clothes and Xia Lianlian leave, Xia Chuyi didn’t have time to think about why the man had to push Mother Xia into the lake...
