Chapter 69 - Hope They Cherish Each Other (1/2)
Just as Yue Wan placed the small stuff before them, everyone's pupil enlarges in agitation, and then she revealed: ”I got this from Tian Li, during the fight.”
----Flash-back----
”----I am easy to bully.” While mithering this, Yue Wan prudently secured the Knife from her grip and slid into her pocket without Tian Li's awareness.
----End---
Yue Xiang checked the Lion-crest mark on the top of the knife's handler, he never imagined of seeing it after 4-years: ”It belongs to grandpa! So, How could it be here?”
Yue Yeager had flashes of vision about his Father handling it during several occasion, with moist eyes, he acquiesced: ”Yes, It is my Father's favorite knife, but I should be in the buried in the tomb along with others.”
Xiao Ran took the Knife from Yue Xiang grasp and touched the sharp-edge: ”Blade is too sharp, which means it was sharpened recently also they made some modification in it expect the handle. That's weird!”
Yue Wan used her left hand to comfort her Dad by smoothing his shoulder and stated: ”Daddy, don't be too hard on yourself.”
Xiao Ran, with a perplexed facial expression, she cited: ”What the plan of using General Yue's knife?”
Yue Wan squeezed her Father's hand and explained in an exceptionally soft tone: ”Point-One, The way How Tian Li handled the pocket-knife today, confirmed that she didn't undergo any customary training. However, she received it quite recently, and also, the person who did it could be a Lover or Sibling, as she repeatedly stated, 'he!'. So the ȧssault might be due to her insecurities.”
Yue Wan stared the blade with a sense of ambivalence: ”Two, The attack was aimed at me, but the actual target is someone else.”
Xiao Ran raised her eyebrows in befuddlement and queried: ”What do you mean?”
Yue Wan reclaimed the blade as she lifted in the air, and in an utterance, she pointed out: ”On the off-chance, I got killed or suffered a critical injury, the police would arrest Tian Li as the suspect. And she would shift the blame to the one who gifted the knife.”
Yue Wan grabbed it close to her heart and gazed at Yue Xiang: ”Soon they will cross-examine its origin, and automatically the blame would fall upon my Big Brother. They plotted to Kill two birds with one stone.”
Xiao Ran's heart pattered in horror as she brayed: ”What!” She unconsciously held Yue Xiang's wrist in fright and clutched it with fear of not comprehending what to do.
Gritting his teeth, Yue Yeager lowered his eyebrow as he divulged: ”One person has the right to enter or exit the Tomb, and it applies to--” With tightness in his voice, he uttered: ”Xiang.”
Yue Xiang's lips curved into a sneer as he ridiculed: ”It's only a hypothesis, and nothing occurred to our Little Wan. So everything is protected at this point.”
