Li Beinian was wide awake suddenly and her body stiffened.
Mu Xichen released her and said, "Grandpa just called me twice. We have to go and see him."
Li Beinian sat on the bed and looked at Mu Xichen. "I did push her into the pit."
Li Beinian looked at Mu Xichen and said, "She set me up and I was just giving her a taste of her own medicine."
Mu Xichen kissed her eyelids lightly and his fingers through her hair. "Uh huh."
"She wanted to trap me, but I didn't fall for it. She even came to watch me fall into her trap, so I pushed her into the pit." Li Beinian grabbed his sleeve. "If she weren't the one who fell into it, it would have been me…"
Li Beinian gave an account of the sequence of events calmly.
From the time she avoided the pit to the time she was pursued by the human traffickers as she ran back to the camp, she told Mu Xichen everything.
"Mmm." Mu Xichen stood up and picked up her jacket. "You did right."
