Chapter 462 - 142: Official Lawsuit (Part 3)

The servant next to her promptly handed her a bottle of coconut water to moisten her throat.

The aunts gritted their teeth, envious of her good family background.

Ji’s mother’s sense of superiority soared.

But she couldn’t lose these aunts, her sources of joy, so she generously shared the coconut water.

Su’s Farm wasn’t considered a tropical area; there were few coconut trees, and while coconut water was available at the supermarket, who would refuse something free?

The aunts gladly accepted Ji’s mother’s peace offering and continued chatting with her about various hearsay rumors while also keeping an eye on the news about Xue Huiyi by the shore.

The indictment was completed, and Xue Huiyi became a full-fledged suspect.

However, she wasn’t indicted as a murderer; it was for campus violence and off-campus gangster activities, an injury that the victim couldn’t forget to this day.

An indictment is different from a lawyer’s letter; a lawyer’s letter is at most a warning, but an indictment, unless withdrawn, must go to court.

In the evening, Ji Li deliberately came to her lab to see the turtle, with police still guarding outside the lab.

He asked Su Xiaocai in a low voice, "She’s not going to prison for murder, it’ll be easy for her to escape."

He knows a bit about the ways of the wealthy.

If it’s not a major crime, she might only serve a few years, then get one or two years of probation, just adding a bad record to her resume.

Su Xiaocai fiddled with the turtle, placed it in the water, watching it repeatedly crawl onto the sand, "Don’t worry, I know. There’s a long way to go before we get to court, and you think I’m stalling for nothing? Of course I’m preparing for the future."

"Some ropes need to be lengthened to catch something."

Recently, there hasn’t been much progress with Xiang Qian’s side, but he learned something.

And reported back.

Xue Huiyi and her, which means the original Yu Li, came from the same orphanage.

Xue Huiyi, like Yu Haoming, is Yu Li’s relative.

Yu Haoming is a cousin, Xue Huiyi is a cousin too, the daughter of Yu Li’s mother’s cousin.

Although not very close in blood relation, they’re still considered relatives.

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaocai found it absurd yet unsurprising.

Xue Huiyi once looked at her with a complex expression, like seeing an acquaintance, indicating that Yu Li, in a "previous life," was likely related to Xue Huiyi.

What kind of relationship could make a highly talented adopted daughter and a poorly-bred ingrate become acquaintances?

Of course, a familial relationship.

But what of relatives, even if they were sisters, Su Xiaocai would still "kill" her.

Xiang Qian didn’t know about this initially; he managed to coax it out of two investigators, or perhaps the investigators deliberately leaked it.

The Xue Family couple originally wanted to adopt a younger child, someone of Yu Li’s age at the time.

But because of Xue Huiyi’s extraordinary intelligence and obedience, the Xue Family couple adopted her.

Afterward, Yu Li was thrown onto the Garbage Star.

And Su Xiaocai finally remembered the image that flashed through her mind when she first crossed over, a girl saying she wanted to replace her.

This person should be Xue Huiyi, right?

Replaced is replaced; Su Xiaocai didn’t feel much about it.

But to throw someone onto the Garbage Star certainly wasn’t Xue Huiyi’s doing. She had to pretend to be obedient in front of the Xue Family’s parents; with so many eyes from the Xue Family watching, how could she have harmed Yu Li?

The answer is, someone else is responsible.

From this, Su Xiaocai developed a second hypothesis.

Xue Huiyi, as Ji Li speculated, might not be reincarnated.

She was a pawn from the beginning, a pawn that mistakenly believed she had been reincarnated.

Perhaps in her childhood, under the influence of some superpower, or maybe she inherently possessed this latent superpower, she saw a future line, treating this line as her past life.

So what was the use of having Xue Huiyi play the role of the Xue Family’s daughter?

A couple of days ago, Su Xiaocai drew a mind map, erasing Xue Huiyi and substituting in Yu Li.

Yu Li had exceptional intelligence. According to Xue Huiyi’s method of replacement, Yu Li should have become a mecha designer.

This mecha designer, in the future, would achieve something significant, perhaps become the key point of something or fate.

So someone killed Yu Li and used the "reincarnated Xue Huiyi" to fill this position, steering the future toward the planner’s desired path.

Why does the "reincarnated Xue Huiyi" harbor such resentment towards her? It’s understandable as well.

As a "past life" relative, upon meeting, comparisons are inevitable.

In comparison, her life seemed like garbage, while Yu Li was the Xue Family’s young miss, with better education, status, family, and even men than her, so how could she not be envious?
