"Zhehan don't you think that there is a big conspiracy hidden behind all of this?" Li Xiaolu asked.

Huh?

Zhang Zhehan broke out of his daze when he heard Li Xiaolu's question. "What conspiracy? What do you mean?" he asked.

"See, when I heard your side of the story, I think there is something missing." Li Xiaolu explained.

"Missing? Like what?"

"As you said that the three families didn't kill Long Xun's father but Long Xun thinks that you all did. Why does he think that?" Li Xiaolu questioned.

Zhang Zhehan shrugged. "That's because if we think from his point of view then it would look like we have killed Uncle Long."

"You're correct, " Li Xiaolu said, "but you missed a point."

Seeing the confused look on Zhang Zhehan's face Li Xiaolu explained her thoughts to him very carefully. "When this incident happened how old was Long Xun? He was just a small child. No matter how smart he was at that time, he was only a helpless child."

Zhang Zhehan nodded not getting what Li Xiaolu was trying to say to him.

"A helpless child without any aid or assistance, how did he save himself? How did he hide from you all? How did he fake his own death? How did he make such a great come back without any help?" Li Xiaolu asked.

Immediately sudden struck in Zhang Zhehan's mind and his eyes widened in realization. "How could I not think about it before?" Zhang Zhehan whispered as he looked at Li Xiaolu in amazement.

"According to what you said, it means that somebody helped Long Xun all along the way. That somebody helped him fake his death and made him what he is today." Zhang Zhehan said with enlightenment.

"Hmm..." Li Xiaolu nodded. "Now, the question is why is he helping Long Xun? What is that person's motive?" she asked.

"Maybe he is somebody appointed by Uncle Long to protect Long Xun..." Zhang Zhehan pondered loudly.

"Maybe...." Li Xiaolu said with an unsure tone because this can be a point.

"Zhehan I think Uncle Long is innocent." Li Xiaolu said after a while.

"Xiaolu, trust me on this. I am not lying. I know what I saw. Uncle Long was assaulting Auntie Qian." Zhang Zhehan stated firmly.

"Sometimes the truth is different from what you see, " Li Xiaolu interrupted.

"No, I don't think so." Zhang Zhehan disagreed. He knew what he had seen with his own eyes.

"You said that at that time Auntie Qian was pregnant and she was about to give birth. Also, Auntie Qian was Uncle Long's best friend and like a mother towards Long Xun. If Uncle Long had any bad thoughts or desires towards Auntie Qian then why did he wait for so long?" Li Xiaolu asked.

"He could have acted on earlier. Why to wait until she is pregnant with a big belly and with everybody present around?" she asked.
