The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce

Chapter 1157: It Wasn’t Me

“No one has found out yet, have they?” Lu Xiaohang raised his brows. “That friend of yours… Her surname is Tang, isn’t it?”

Xia Xibei was somewhat taken aback. “You knew?”

So he actually knew Tang Luo?

Was it him who spilled the secret then?

Lu Xiaohang smiled and shook his head, “Chill out, it wasn’t me who spilled the secret.”

He explained, “I do know a family with a similar situation, but there are only female Hearths in the family. They also have other children out there, and girls that are born will be taken home. Like you said, no one has found out about her yet, which means she’s hidden it well. Disguising herself as a guy also helps, if she doesn’t wish to be revealed.”

Xia Xibei’s face fell upon hearing Lu Xiaohang’s words, because it matched perfectly with Tang Luo’s circumstances.

Although Tang Luo didn’t understand why her mother made her hide her female identity, she had always been obedient, showing up in the guise of a boy.

“Your nerves are giving you away- It shows that you’re close with that person. I’ve seen that friend of yours before. Although she did look like a boy, I could tell the difference upon a closer look.”

Smiling, Lu Xiaohang continued to explain, and Xia Xibei felt a little uncomfortable.

She knew that Lu Xiaohang wasn’t an ordinary man, but she hadn’t expected him to be that observant!

“Now it seems that something must have happened on your end, and it’s got to be related to me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to me.”

“It does have something to do with you.”

Xia Xibei flashed a small smile, and tossed the photo in his direction, completely unafraid.

“I asked around and that guy is also named Lu.”

Lu Xiaohang picked up the photo and looked at it for a moment, then it seemed to dawn on him.

“I see!”

It was an ordinary-looking man in the photo, but Lu Xiaohang did know him.

“I know him, his surname is Lu indeed,” Lu Xiaohang explained. “He must have come to keep an eye on me, and just happened to find out about your friend.”

There was a dismal look in his eyes.

He didn’t expect them to make moves on someone else just because they couldn’t handle him.

“Anyway, this has surely got something to do with you, right?” Xia Xibei stared at him, her eyes cold. “We told you not to upset Sister Hong, but this isn’t something I’ve expected...”

“Hey, hey, hey! Take it easy!” Lu Xiaohang put his arms up in surrender. “You can’t just throw dirt on me! It’s got something to do with me indeed, but I wasn’t the killer!”

Despite the smile on his face, the words that came out from his mouth were sharp.

“And even without me, it’s just a matter of time before she gets exposed.”

“Why?”

“If she’s a Hearth for real, they will find out about her sooner or later. Besides, you know the Qi family, don’t you?”

“You knew that?” Xia Xibei was shooting daggers at him.

“Of course.” Lu Xiaohang didn’t even try to hide it. “I have my ways of obtaining information.”

There was a gloomy look on Xia Xibei’s face, as she saw how honest he was.

“Don’t worry, I learned about it from the Qi family.” Lu Xiaohang was completely forthright. “We pay close attention to important people.”

Xia Xibei was just one of those people that they paid attention to.

“Word that you and Qi Zhi’an know each other will get around sooner or later. By then, all your friends will be investigated. It’s just a matter of time.”

The look on her face turned so dark that it seemed as if a storm was brewing.

“So that’s your tactic, isn’t it?”

“You’ll know when you get to my position. There are lots of things that you have to know, even if you don’t want to know. How can you make a decision otherwise?”

The corners of his mouth curled into a sarcastic smile.

“Tell me then, what should we do now?”

Xia Xibei cast an icy look at Lu Xiaohang.
