Chapitre 270: Chapter 270: Touch Your Conscience

Upon first hearing it, Yu Jingting did not believe it.

He thought Yu Shuilian was making up a story out of desperation to divert his attention as she was in a dire situation.

But when he returned home and carefully thought about it, he realized that something was not right.

Yu Shuilian's story was detailed and consistent.

If she were simply trying to avoid punishment, there was no need to fabricate rumors that Yu Shuisheng was still alive.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for her to betray the relatives she had sold herself to?

Suizi understood the situation very well, but she didn't want to reveal her thoughts too obviously. Given Yu Jingting's intelligence, she felt he should know how to proceed.

Yu Jingting inquired about the situation in Yu Shuilian's village and found that a bully named Ergou really had been missing for a decade.

His family had assumed he'd been eaten by wolves on the mountain, as he'd disappeared without a trace, dead or alive.
