Bab 535: My Mother Turned Into Fireworks

Once Meng Chao finished speaking, the underground space sank into dead silence. 

After a long time, Bai Shan sighed wearily and smiled bitterly. "It would have been better if I didn't attack you. Then, you wouldn't have been able to prove anything."

"That's impossible," Meng Chao said. "If I had been uninjured, you would have weighed the pros and cons and chosen not to attack. You'd have held yourself back. 

"That's why I meticulously pretended to be dying, as if I'd be a goner if you just stabbed me. How could you possibly resist such temptation?

"You didn't know what exactly Ms. Mulian had told me and what I would tell if I ran into Wild Wolf. In that sort of situation, the safest and simplest choice was to kill me to silence me."

Bai Shan thought about it and said, "Indeed, I could only kill you to silence you. But I shouldn't have acted based on what I thought was the best excuse and told Wild Wolf that I saw you killing Ms. Mulian.
