Chapter 1358: Chapter 1357: Main Story Finale 30

Huo Shiqian’s meaning, Xia Chuyi understood.

Hearing the words "death penalty," Xia Chuyi wasn’t the least bit surprised.

What Xia Lan had done was indeed enough to get her executed.

One thing after another, one case after another; before this, she and Huo Shiqian merely threw her to that pervert Guo Kai—that was already being merciful.

Now, it was finally a case of evil getting its due.

As for whether it would affect her... honestly, Xia Chuyi felt that maybe Xia Lan’s "secret" and Xia Chuyi’s "secret" were somewhat connected.

But that didn’t mean that if something happened to Xia Lan, she would go down with her.

Especially since keeping Xia Lan around posed too big a threat to Xia Chuyi and the others; better not to keep her.

Even if doing this meant the couple had to take a bit of a risk.

The two of them looked at each other and both understood what the other meant.

This risk had to be taken no matter what.

"Honey, Xia Lan and I are not the same kind of people." Xia Chuyi said calmly to Huo Shiqian, "So I definitely won’t be affected by her."

Huo Shiqian looked at her with deep eyes, nodded, and said, "Mm, you won’t."

Then Huo Shiqian pulled her straight into his arms.

After a moment, Huo Shiqian let her go and said, "Right now, Xia Lan is already in prison and has started ’talking nonsense.’"

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi was slightly startled.

The "nonsense" Huo Shiqian was talking about naturally referred to Xia Lan telling others in prison about Xia Chuyi’s "secret."

Seeing Xia Chuyi’s brief startlement, Huo Shiqian patted her and said, "You don’t need to worry. No one will believe what Xia Lan says."

"Because the place where she’s being held is a maximum-security prison for serious offenders. There, there’s a bunch of vicious, hardened criminals." Huo Shiqian’s eyes held a deeper meaning as he said, "The days after Xia Lan went in will be very hard for her."

"Besides, the people watching her are trusted subordinates I specially transferred there. They definitely won’t believe her either."

In short, Huo Shiqian had long since made arrangements for this.

Xia Chuyi’s heart loosened a little and she said, "Honey, thank you."

For her sake, Huo Shiqian had gone to a lot of trouble.

But hearing this, Huo Shiqian said, "What trouble? Chuyi, we are one and the same."

Xia Chuyi nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "Honey, I want to see Xia Lan one last time, is that okay?"

She wanted to know whether Xia Lan really had foreknowledge, or if she, like Xia Chuyi, had been reborn.

If it was rebirth, there were some things she wanted to understand from Xia Lan’s perspective as well.

After all, if it was rebirth, then in their past life Xia Lan must have died after her.

So Xia Chuyi wanted to test whether she could get anything out of Xia Lan.

Although he didn’t know why Xia Chuyi wanted to see Xia Lan, after thinking for a moment Huo Shiqian said, "If you want to see her, you can. But you have to be careful."

At that, Xia Chuyi smiled faintly and said, "She’s locked up inside, and I’ll be outside asking questions. What’s there to worry about?"

Hearing what Xia Chuyi said, a faint displeasure crossed Huo Shiqian’s face.

"Okay, okay, okay." Xia Chuyi hurriedly said, "I’ll be careful!"

Only then did Huo Shiqian reluctantly nod.

After the couple settled the matter, the next day Huo Shiqian took Xia Chuyi to see Xia Lan.

Before they came, Huo Shiqian had already told Xia Chuyi that Xia Lan’s life in prison was going very badly, so Xia Lan’s current state definitely wouldn’t be good.

However, even though she was mentally prepared, when she actually saw Xia Lan, Xia Chuyi was still a bit shocked.
