My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1048 Now I Actually Believe It

Even if Old Ling’s death wasn’t his doing, she still couldn’t easily forgive his sins from seven years ago.

"Even if he had told you, you wouldn’t believe it," Feiyu snorted.

"Why not?"

"Because, the murderer is Gu Yan!"

With a disdainful toss of shocking words, Feiyu mentioned the name with obvious fury.

Ye Lu’s eyes widened in shock, "How could it be him? He’s a businessman, how could he have the ability to plot the murder of Old Ling? He had no vendetta against Old Ling, why would he kill him?"

"Ha, he’s not as simple as you think. As for his motive, he would do anything that causes Third Master Ling pain, just like a madman with no distinction," Feiyu said.

"Gu Yan is not that kind of person," Ye Lu said, incredulous.

Feiyu said sarcastically, "Ha, I knew you wouldn’t believe it. That’s why Third Young Master never told you, to spare himself the heartache of seeing you biased like this. In your eyes, our Third Young Master is a fiend who commits all kinds of evil, including murder and arson. While Gu Yan is the innocent saint who would never commit such atrocities."

"That’s not what I meant." She clenched her fists under her sleeves and said coldly, "If it really was Gu Yan, I won’t let him off."

Ye Lu arrived at Gu Yan’s home.

Gu Yan was surprised by her visit, but deep down he felt a faint joy. Could it be that she had found out about what happened seven years ago and had fallen out with Third Young Master Jun, and now wanted to return to his side? His emotions surged with excitement.

"Did you kill Old Ling?" The first chilling words from Ye Lu pierced his fantasies.

Gu Yan’s complexion turned ashen, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"Still playing dumb? That night, you and Third Young Master Jun were both seen on the outskirts where Old Ling passed by."

Gu Yan suddenly smiled, "I don’t know anything about Old Ling, and you don’t have to test me. It seems like this was done by Third Young Master Jun, and he is trying to pin the blame on me, framing me. How despicable he is."

Ye Lu, appearing convinced and transparent, was but trying to make him fall for her trap and admit to it.

If she had real evidence, she wouldn’t have come.

Yet he felt disappointed and even angry; knowing what had happened seven years ago, that Jun Huang had forced himself upon her, she still chose to confront him on behalf of that man.

Ye Lu gazed at him deeply, the cold light in her eyes condensing, and her delicately beautiful face showed extreme disappointment.

"I originally didn’t believe it was you, but now I find myself believing it."

Gu Yan was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"Because from the beginning to the end, he has never said that you were the murderer, nor has he ever spoken ill of you in front of me. Even if he is a villain, he’s more noble than you, takes more responsibility, and dares to act without framing others for any purpose. And you? You immediately insist that it was he who told me, doesn’t that prove you know the details of this matter? Are you truly not at all related to this?"

Ye Lu’s tone became even colder, her eyes shimmering with disappointment and disbelief.

"You want to take revenge on me, on Third Young Master Jun, so you’ve done so much. If you have any vendetta, just come at us. Old Ling had no quarrels with you, yet you killed him. Gu Yan, you weren’t like this before, the current you has twisted to the extreme, having lost your humanity. You’ve changed, why did you do it?"

Her furious questioning was filled with disappointment and contempt for him, provoking his rage to surge, as he glared fiercely at her.

"I’ve changed, but haven’t you changed too?"
