She reminded them, letting them see Qiao Shiyue's true colors. Whether they believed it or were fooled by Qiao Shiyue's feigned madness and stupidity didn't matter. If they chose to cut their losses in time, they might still save the Qiao family. If not, they could just wait for Qiao Shiyue to drain every last drop of their blood. Still, this was just her speculation, with no evidence to back it up. No matter—once suspicion was planted, the crime was already set.
After sending the video, she was in a good mood and said to Xu Zimo, "Want to keep strolling around?" Xu Zimo was a bit surprised. "Aren't you curious about what I did to her?" "What's there to be curious about? I bet you used a truth-telling talisman on her." "You really do know everything." Shen Yunyun smiled mysteriously. Of course she knew. She hadn't read many xianxia novels, but she'd watched plenty of xianxia dramas. Since Xu Zimo was from a cultivation world, it wasn't strange for him to use a truth-telling talisman. "Come on, let's keep walking. We can't let a rotten person ruin our mood." "Alright." Shen Yunyun led him on, heading straight for the snack street. Across from Xinyue Square was an alley filled with all kinds of street food. They ate to their hearts' content there but still couldn't sample every delicacy. "Come again tomorrow," Xu Zimo said, satisfied. "Sure, I'll bring you again tomorrow." Shen Yunyun hopped on her electric scooter, ready to take Xu Zimo back. But as they were crossing an intersection, a private car suddenly sped straight toward them. Before Shen Yunyun could even process what was happening, she and the scooter were already on the other side of the road. The private car crashed into another vehicle and came to a halt in the middle of the intersection. Shen Yunyun patted her chest in lingering fear. She was sure she hadn't crossed the median—how had she ended up on the other side? She looked at Xu Zimo. Xu Zimo nodded. He had just used a teleportation spell. If he hadn't, they would have been sent flying and knocked unconscious by now. Now, the two cars had collided, and the scene was a mess. The airbags in the struck car had all deployed; the driver's fate was unknown. The front of the offending car was crumpled, its airbags also fully deployed. Other vehicles, unable to dodge in time, had varying degrees of damage, with many rear-end collisions. Shen Yunyun didn't want to stay at the crash site—it would give her nightmares. "Let's hurry back," she urged Xu Zimo. Xu Zimo's fingers moved in a quick calculation within his wide sleeve, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the offending car.
Once they were back, Shen Yunyun said fearfully, "Good thing you have those great powers, or I'd be in serious trouble today." She was also grateful it was a bridge crossing; otherwise, with pedestrians crossing the road, the casualties would have been countless. "This was man-made." "Man-made? Drunk driving? Or drug-impaired driving?" Shen Yunyun asked in shock. "Neither. It was intentional murder." Shen Yunyun stared at Xu Zimo for a long moment before asking uncertainly, "Targeting me?" Xu Zimo nodded. Shen Yunyun didn't doubt him at all—she knew how capable he was. "Who is it?" Xu Zimo shook his head. He was, after all, only human, not a god; he couldn't know everything. Shen Yunyun couldn't think of anyone besides Qiao Shiyue who would want her dead. She considered herself fairly kind to others and hadn't made any mortal enemies—who would want her life?
