Chương 1497: Truth

But… how could Qiu He do this?

"Why?"

How dare she?

Whose idea was this?

Qiao Wei felt a sudden wave of terror, unable to comprehend what she had done to warrant such treatment.

Seeing her dazed and confused state, Lixia compassionately explained, "Miss Qiao, this may seem perplexing. Why would Qiu He want to end your life? The answer lies in the strategic implications. Your demise here in the relay station would cast our lord and madams as the prime suspects. They would be defenseless."

"As an officially registered escort, your death would provide ample grounds for accusation. Our lord would find himself trapped, unable to escape prison. His reputation might be tarnished, and he could even face mortal danger."

"In the grand scheme, you're just a pawn—a pawn strategically employed to target our lord and madam."
