    Xinghe wasn’t led on by him. She said softly, “Tell me, why did you ask to see me?”


    Saohuang gave a wicked smile, “Because I knew you would want to see me.”


    “…” Saohuangpredicted we would need his cooperation.

    “Actually, there’s a question stuck in my mind, but I cannot figure out the answer on my own, so I


    wanted to ask you in person,” Saohuang said.


    Xinghe yed along, “What question?”


    “Do you know Xia Meng?” Saohuang asked directly. Xinghe was a bit surprised by this question.


    “What if I do?”


    “ording to what I’ve found out, Xia Meng’s life didn’t cross path with yours, but for some reason, she


    was heavily rted to Xi Mubai for a sudden, albeit brief, period of her life, so I was curious.


    Furthermore, the two of you share the same family name and you two have the same aura about you,”


    Saohuang stated as he stared closely at Xinghe, as if trying to read something from her unconscious


    movements.


    Xinghe smirked. “You’re curious? I’m also very curious as to why you would know so much about Xia


    Meng. Her life didn’t cross yours as well.”


    “You don’t need to know why I’m familiar with her, you only need to answer my question.” After a


    pause, Saohuang’s lips curved into a smile. “Of course, in exchange, I will provide you with the criminal


    evidence on Lin Yun.”


    This man was clearly no fool; it was no wonder he could corner the Xi family. He had a good sense of


    the situation and could predict his enemy’s next step; s, he still lost to them.


    “She once came to me for help,” Xinghe said with a straight face. “I’m sure you know about her


    disability, so she came to me asking for an artificial leg to help her regain a normal gait. That was how


    we met and became friends.”


    “But Xi Mubai seems to treat her as more than friend.” Saohuang was incredulous. “So, your


    rtionship must go deeper than what you’re telling me. Xia Xinghe, if you don’t tell me the truth, I


    don’t think we can work together.” Xinghe smiled. “Then what kind of truth do you want? Ask me


    directly.”


    “Do you know Ye Shen?”


    “He’s Xia Meng’s husband.”


    “Are you two plotting to take something from Ye Shen?” Saohuang asked directly. Now Xinghe


    understood what Saohuang’s n was. He still hadn’t given up on the energy crystal. The thing must


    hold much importance to him since he was still so hung up on it even though he was on death row.


    “What could he have that would require us to plot against him?” Xinghe asked in return. Her face was


    cid,pletely unreadable. Even for someone as astute as Saohuang, she was a closed book.


    “You’re indeed one hard to read woman,” Saohuangmented with a smile. “It’s so hard to get any


    information from you.”


    “What do you want to know? Ask and I will answer if I can,” Xinghe said generously. Just like that, she


    gained the upper hand in their negotiation.


    Saohuang thought the initiative would be his, but evidently, he was not her match. She was too special;


    no matter what she did, she was a step ahead of everyone else. Her nonchnt tone and clear eyes


    were unique as well.


    Saohuang sighed once more, “You really do mirror Xia Meng, so much so that I have the sneaking


    impression that you two are one and the same.”


    “Don’t simplye to your own conclusion, how much do you really know about Xia Meng and me?”


    Xinghe retorted directly.


    Saohuang nodded. “You’re right, all I have is my gut feeling.”


    “So, tell me, what do you want to know?” Xinghe asked..
