Chapter 1183 I’m Sorry!

Hua Qingxin anxiously looked at Li Lanfeng with shaken and constricted pupils in his eyes. The other five people understood what Li Lanfeng meant. They widened their eyes. ‘Does he mean that Hua Qingxin wasn’t the betrayer?’

“Maybe you are just pretending to sacrifice yourself but in actual fact, you just wanted to hide your true nature.” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows. The five young men felt their heart wavering again. Was Hua Qingxin the betrayer?

“Do you think that everything will be better if you take the blame? The real betrayer is still among your friends so the same situation might happen again. Who will be the one getting the blame next time?”

Li Lanfeng stood up and walked towards Hua Qingxin slowly. His gentle aura turned cold. The sudden force of presence caused Hua Qingxin to take a few steps back. He fell weakly on his chair.

Li Lanfeng leaned forward. “Hua Qingxin, don’t you think your decision is stupid? You pushed your friends to h.e.l.l. They will become the scapegoats of the betrayer. I wonder if they will hate you for your selfless sacrifice today when they go to h.e.l.l. You caused them to miss the opportunity to catch the betrayer.”

Hua Qingxin’s mind collapsed under Li Lanfeng’s questioning. He started shouting, “Stop talking! Please stop!” Why was taking the blame for his friends wrong? What should he do? What should he do?

“Qingxin, Leader Li is right. You shouldn’t take the blame if you are not guilty. What you are doing now is a mistake. Any lack of information from you might cause the betrayer to escape.” Yi Tiange, who had been keeping quiet from the start, suddenly spoke.

Hua Qingxin looked up immediately when he heard Yi Tiange. His eyes were s.h.i.+ning as he looked at Yi Tiange. He seemed to have found his mental support.

Yi Tiange was their strategist. Even Ling Yi would listen to Yi Tiange before he acted. In their hearts, his position was second to Ling Yi.

Yi Tiange nodded at Hua Qingxin. He must explain himself. That was the only way they could find the truth.

Hua Qingxin closed his eyes and calmed himself down. When he opened them again, his gaze turned resolute.

“I said that because I was jealous of Tao Xiaotao. Tao Xiaotao’s family must be the most loving family among the six of us. He is a commoner but his parents and siblings loved him so much.” Hua Qingxin looked at Tao Xiaotao with a bitter smile. “Yet, he doesn’t seem to know how fortunate he is. Familial love is something we don’t have. Yet, he always boasts about his family in front of us. It’s irritating.”

Hua Qingxin sighed. “It might be because Tao Xiaotao always mentioned how his family dotes on him so it left a strong impression in my mind. Hence, when Wuyou talked about how jealous he was, I instantly thought of Tao Xiaotao.”

Hua Qingxin looked at Li Lanfeng again. He said seriously, “Leader Li, no one lured me to say that. It’s all because of my own jealous thoughts. I have two older sisters and one younger sister but they never dote on me. My older sisters look down on me while my younger sister ignores me. No matter who makes a mistake, I’ll always be the one getting punished. The luckier Xiaotao was, the worse I feel. I got even more envious of him.”

“I’m sorry. I have no clue who the betrayer is. I can’t prove that I’m not the one too. I can only say my true thoughts. Finally, I just want to tell all of you that I’m not the betrayer.” Hua Qingxin was firm. If everyone was innocent, he didn’t mind taking the blame. However, there was a real traitor among them. His sacrifice would only allow the betrayer to harm his friends. He couldn’t allow that.

“It came back to you again. Interesting. Tao Xiaotao, what do you have to say?” Li Lanfeng walked to Tao Xiaotao and smiled at him.

“I don’t know. I just want to share my happiness with everyone. I didn’t know they were jealous. I didn’t know. I was just sharing. Why did it become like this? Why did it become like this?” Tao Xiaotao was agitated and hurt. He just wanted to spread his happiness with his friends, but it was taken the wrong way. He couldn’t understand how it became like this.

He was so overwhelmed with emotions that he didn’t know what to say. He just kept repeating the same words.

“Ling Yi, you’re the leader of the team. Shouldn’t you say something? Can’t you see that everyone is waiting for you?” Li Lanfeng walked to Ling Yi and stared him down. His target was Ling Yi. He wouldn’t allow him to remain quiet.

Ling Yi raised his head slowly. His eyes were bloodshot. He glared at Li Lanfeng with hatred. This was the person who caused him to be in such a situation. He was the one who forced him to suspect everyone. He now didn’t even dare to look at his friends. He was afraid of their hopeful gaze.

d.a.m.n it, he didn’t know who to believe. The trust they had for one another collapsed amidst all the suspicion.

“Ling Yi, you don’t believe anyone!” Li Lanfeng mocked him. He looked at the other five people with pity as he noticed their disheartened gaze. Li Lanfeng’s words had already left a scar in their hearts. Even if they understood Ling Yi’s intention, it still hurt them.

“No. I trust them. However, Young Master Lan is my bottomline. No one can touch that. Someone among them chose to harm Young Master Lan, and I can’t forgive that. Even if there is only a slight suspicion, I won’t let it go. I rather kill a thousand than to make such a mistake. You all trusted the wrong person. I’m sorry!” Ling Yi shouted angrily.

Tears fell down Ling Yi’s eyes. He didn’t want to suspect his childhood friends. They had fought hard together and went through thick and thin together. He wanted to tell them that he believed them. Even if they had to go to the military court, he would accompany them.

Unfortunately, the moment he was born, he wasn’t able to live for himself. Since he was young, he was told that he was Ling Lan’s loyalist. He must grow stronger and return to Ling Lan’s side. He needed to take over his father’s role and protect the next family head of the Ling family.

Thus, to become more powerful, he accepted the Ling family’s help and learned the physical skills from them. He took the gene agents from the Ling family. He knew that this was the only way he could take over his father’s role quickly and help Ling Lan.
