Lin Xue was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at Lin Ran's nose and trembled. "Lin Ran, you… How dare you say that I'm crazy? I…"
"Isn't it? I already said that I didn't steal the silver, but you insist on pinning the blame on me. If you ask me, maybe you stole the silver yourself, right?"
Lin Ran had just said it casually, but seeing Lin Xue's reaction, she could not help but narrow her eyes .
Lin Ran had just said it casually, but seeing Lin Xue's reaction, she could not help but narrow her eyes guiltily.
This woman's reaction was very strange. No matter how Lin Ran looked at it, she felt guilty. Perhaps she had really guessed correctly that the silver was taken by this woman, but the woman had pushed the blame on herself.
If that was the case, then do not blame her for skinning her alive. Lin Ran did not like being pushed around. If anyone dared to frame her, they would have to suffer her revenge.
"Nonsense?" Lin Ran smiled and looked very gentle. However, those who were familiar with Lin Ran would know that the gentler she smiled, the more ruthless she was.
"Are you feeling guilty?" Lin Ran said with certainty. She slowly stood up and walked around Lin Xue. Her smile became brighter.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Xue felt more and more uneasy.
"I'm laughing at you for thinking you can get away with this," Lin Ran said as she pointed at the woman's chest. It was beating very quickly and it was a sign of nervousness.
"I… I don't understand what you are talking about. You stole the money. Don't try to blame it on me." Lin Xue forced herself to calm down.
"I should be the one saying that." Lin Ran still had a smile on her face. She slowly turned to look at the villagers watching the commotion. Finally, her gaze landed on a woman resembling Lin Xue.
When Yu Niang saw Lin Ran looking at her, she immediately said, "Ran, tell me where the silver is. I can let bygones be bygones."
"I told you, I didn't steal the silver."
"Mother, don't believe her. She's lying."
"What do you mean by lying?" Lin Ran turned around and looked at Lin Xue coldly. She reached out and pinched her neck.
At first, Lin Ran planned to reason with these people, but they obviously did not believe her. In that case, she might as well use violence.
If the tiger did not show its might, they would think that she was a vulnerable cat.
Especially the woman in front of her. The woman was too annoying and the noise was giving Lin Ran a headache.
"You… What are you trying to do?" Lin Xue was scared out of her wits, and her face was pale. Yu Niang was also frightened when she saw her daughter being strangled by Lin Ran.
When she came back to her senses, she could not help but take a few steps forward and look at Lin Ran with disappointment. "Ran, why are you doing this? Let go of Xue."
"Don't worry. The moment I find out where the silver is hidden, I'll let her go," Lin Ran replied calmly. She turned to look at Lin Xue and asked, "Tell me, where is the silver?"
"What silver? I don't know." Lin Xue refused to admit it. She did not dare to admit it because she knew that once she admitted it, her reputation would be ruined.
It was wrong for her to steal the money for her older brother's doctor's fees. Since she had smeared the crime on Lin Ran, it made things even worse.
The villagers' saliva alone could drown her.
"Is that so? I gave you a chance to own up, but you refuse to do it. In that case, I won't stand on ceremony," Lin Ran said as she tightened her grip.
Lin Xue had difficulty breathing and knew she was in big trouble. It felt like she was going to die.
