Chapter 1212: You Truly Are Clever

Xiaoqi’s appearance on Leiguang Island was extremely unexpected for Han Jing, but Xiaoqi’s personality was simple. If she had an ulterior motive, it would never escape Han Jing’s keen eyes. Therefore, Han Jing was certain that Xiaoqi just happened to arrive at Leiguang Island, then learned Han Jing was also there and went to find her.

However, when Xiaoqi brought her before Lei Yibei, hoping wholeheartedly for Lei Yibei’s assistance, coupled with Feng Chan Yi’s appearance and the statement representing Phoenix Island’s position, it made Han Jing realize that their presumed secrecy in their journey was nothing but a joke.

First, Feng Peining returned to Phoenix Island with Shui Jingmo and Li, the Island Master of Phoenix Island couldn’t possibly be in the dark as to why she returned; he would certainly investigate. Therefore, he didn’t need to say anything more, just needed to ask Xiaoqi what was going on. Xiaoqi would naturally reveal a part of it, and with Xiaoqi bringing Su Xingqiao back with the intent of marrying him, Feng Litian would be even more inclined to investigate.

Han Jing had never met Feng Litian, but for someone as experienced as Feng Litian, finding the slightest clue would ensure the investigation could be thoroughly conducted.

So, her identity, Su Yu’s identity, including Shi Qi’s identity, wouldn’t be concealed.

Judging by Feng Chan Yi’s relationship with Lei Yibei, anything concerning her, Lei Yibei would inevitably know everything.

Yet, she was still very grateful, because the person initially investigating them would certainly be Feng Litian. Standing from Feng Litian’s perspective, before making a final decision and in a situation without conflicting interests, not only would he not act against them, but he might deliberately help them hide their tracks. So, their many years of evading Ningxi Island’s notice was likely due to Feng Litian’s efforts.

After Han Jing sorted all this out in her head, she knew that her collaboration with Lei Yibei just depended on Lei Yibei’s intentions.

Because they were now completely exposed to Lei Yibei, whether to seize this opportunity to do something they had always wanted depended on Lei Yibei’s courage and desire to act.

After hearing Han Jing’s words, Lei Yibei naturally understood Han Jing’s intention.

He gazed at Han Jing and unexpectedly said, “You truly are smart.”

No wonder even the unreasonable and capricious Xiaoqi is exceedingly protective and obedient towards her. This woman truly has an exquisite mind, meticulous thoughts, and a strong personality.

Han Jing smiled thick-skinned, “Thanks for the compliment.”

“My parents both died at the hands of Ningxi Island’s Master Ning Shidong.” Lei Yibei suddenly spoke, which startled Han Jing.

She looked at Lei Yibei in disbelief; she really hadn’t expected Lei Yibei would share his grudge with Ningxi Island with her…

“Actually, it’s not really a secret. It’s just that few know the circumstances of their deaths. You probably don’t know, my mother… is Xiaoqi’s aunt, so Feng Litian counts as my uncle. It’s just that my mother was from a side branch. Ning Shidong also liked my mother, but she married my father. I don’t know the exact grievances between them, but I’m sure my parents died by his hand. Of course, I have no evidence.” He wasn’t clear on the details, as he was young when his parents passed away, but through years of investigation, he naturally acquired some findings, albeit without tangible proof.
