Chapter 785: You Can’t Accuse Me Without Evidence
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She was overly anxious and wanted Chi Jiao to believe that she was innocent. She even forgot to hide her aura.
Jiang Xiaoli tried her best to maintain her calm. “I’m just showing you my left shoulder first. If you want to see it, I can show you my right shoulder as well. It was just a coincidence. You didn’t discover any wound, so you can’t accuse me without evidence.”
Chi Jiao stared intently at her. She could clearly see the panic in her eyes.
Although this panic was fleeting, it didn’t escape Chi Jiao’s detection.
In the end, Chi Jiao just gave a smile. “You’re right. I don’t have any evidence. I’m sorry to disturb your rest. Go on and sleep.”
Seeing that Chi Jiao had finally given up, Jiang Xiaoli heaved a sigh of relief. She then quickly pulled the blanket over herself. “Hurry up and leave. Remember to close the door.”
Chi Jiao didn’t pester her. She calmly got up and left the room with large strides.
Hearing the sound of the door closing after Chi Jiao left, Jiang Xiaoli felt a lingering fear. She turned her head and looked uneasily at the closed door before letting out a long sigh.
‘With the sound of wings flapping, the black crow appeared at the window and looked at her mockingly. “Heh heh, look at you. Chi Jiao doesn’t have any evidence. Is there a need to be so afraid?”
Jiang Xiaoli sat up and looked at the familiar black crow. Her eyes were filled with fear. “Who asked you to come here? What if Chi Jiao finds out?!”
“So what if she finds out? Will Chi Jiao not suspect you even if I don’t come over? I’m here to tell you that my master is getting impatient. He wants you to act as soon as possible and kill Chi Jiao. If you can’t do it, my master will personally come over and take away all the treasures he gave you.” The crow’s
dark eyes looked at Jiang Xiaoli mockingly.
Actually, it knew very well that Jiang Xiaoli was not good enough to kill Chi Jiao.
Just as its master had said, this woman was destined to become a stepping stone for Chi Jiao to become stronger.
However, this stepping stone was a little stupid.
“That won’t do. It’s all thanks to this rock concealing my magnetic field that Chi Jiao hasn’t been able to find me. If you take the rock away, wouldn’t I be in trouble?” Jiang Xiaoli got up unsteadily from the bed. She took off her pajamas, revealing her left shoulder.
Jiang Xiaoli’s shadow flickered, and a small wound appeared on her left shoulder. The pain caused her to suck in a cold breath. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain as she pulled out the long needle that had pierced her flesh.
The long needle could suppress an Esper’s special ability. After Jiang Xiaoli pulled it out, she threw it on the ground. Her shoulder twitched uncontrollably from the pain.
“Hmph, you only have one day left.” With that said, the crow took out a key hidden among its feathers and threw it to Jiang Xiaoli. “This is one of the keys the production team is looking for. If you hide it well, you guys won’t be able to leave this place early.”
Their mission would be complete after they found all three keys. Therefore, as long as Jiang Xiaoli hid the third key and did not let anyone find it, they would have to wait until tomorrow night before they could leave.
