168: Confrontation

All trusted confidants annihilated?

In He Lisa's mind, there was a moment of blankness, followed by an outburst of grief and anger.

This was not an accident at all; it was murder! If He Rufei was not deliberate, it was likely that during the battle in Huayuan, he had already exposed himself. Perhaps, even before anyone discovered it, he had decided to cut the grass and eliminate the roots. Since the He family could ruthlessly kill her, who was still related by blood, He Rufei could use the same method to deal with "trusted confidants" who were neither relatives nor friends.

Anger left her body ice-cold, her body slightly trembling, and her eyes instantly turned red. The hand holding the tree branch couldn't help but exert force, and the branch was crushed into two pieces. The sound alarmed the people talking. Lin Taehyung and Shen Han turned their heads to see He Lisa. Lin Taehyung asked, "Brother He, why are you here?" He was about to step forward, but He Lisa took a step back, knowing that she couldn't talk to Lin Taehyung properly at the moment. It would only expose her, so she hurriedly said, "I have something to do; I'll leave first." She turned around and left.

Lin Taehyung stood still, and after a while, he turned to look at Shen Han. "...Did you hear a hint of sadness in Brother He's voice just now?"

Shen Han: "...Maybe Young Master Lin misheard."

Did he mishear? Lin Taehyung carefully recalled and felt that He Lisa's voice just now had a somewhat strange tone, as if she couldn't help but cry.

At this moment, Xiao Jungkook and Fei Nu walked in from outside, frowned slightly when they saw Shen Han and Lin Taehyung standing in the courtyard, "What are you doing standing here?"

"Come to tell you something." Lin Taehyung asked, "Didn't you see Brother He when you came in just now?"

"He Lisa?" Xiao Jungkook said indifferently, "No." As he spoke, he entered the room.

Shen Han cupped his hand to Lin Taehyung; he was going to the martial arts field. Lin Taehyung followed Xiao Jungkook into the room, and Fei Nu stood on the side. He closed the door, turned to look at the cloak that Xiao Jungkook took off, and said, "Jeongguk, are you still giving my Little Sister He the cold shoulder?"

Xiao Jungkook glanced at him, "I'm not as bored as you are."

"Why did my Little Sister He look like she was about to cry just now?" Lin Taehyung muttered to himself, then looked at him, "These days, treat my Little Sister He better. I don't know what happened between her and Chu Jaemin, but I can see that her mood has been low these days. My Little Sister He is particularly insecure deep down, and she can't get what she wants from Chu Jaemin. If you continue to speak harshly to her, she is, after all, a little girl, and it's inevitable that she will be sad." Lin Taehyung gestured to Fei Nu to follow along with his words, "Isn't that right, Fei Nu?"

Fei Nu stood straight, pretending not to have heard his words. He thought that He Lisa was insecure? In the Liangzhou Garrison, there was no one more arrogant and self-confident than He Lisa. These two words, insecure, could not be mentioned in the same breath as He Lisa.

Hearing this, Xiao Jungkook's expression became even colder, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, "That's Chu Jaemin's business."

Lin Taehyung thought to himself, one by one, why were they all so stubborn? Upon careful consideration, it's no wonder He Lisa refused to believe that Xiao Jungkook had feelings for her. With Xiao Jungkook's cold and ruthless attitude, even Lin Taehyung would be suspicious if he were in He Lisa's shoes. This didn't seem like affection; it was more like being sworn enemies.
