Chapter 2215

"The young lady requested that I escort her to the boat via the waterway, claiming it would be more convenient. So, I accompanied her to the boat," Uncle Zeng recounted.
"Did you not question why Xiang Xuewei specifically instructed you to take her to the boat? Moreover, there were few boats taking the longer route at that time. She could have easily arranged for her associates to be on the boat. Once the boat departed and no one was around, her associates could have pushed the unfortunate woman into the water to drown," Xiang Shangyu remarked coldly.
"I never imagined she would resort to murder. I genuinely thought I was assisting her in leaving, with no intention of causing harm. However, upon reflection, I grew increasingly suspicious. Therefore, I traveled to the girl's hometown to investigate. She had indeed not returned, so I left three thousand yuan for her. I was concerned that something had befallen her. She had a good reputation, so her sudden disappearance was perplexing. I also considered the possibility of her returning to seek the young master, but she did not," Uncle Zeng clarified.
