"So, Shen Lian never died at all, to delay the approach of death, he went so far as to kill Shen Jun, then use Shen Jun's body to be reborn in his name.

After a long silence, she finally asked, "Xuanya, tell me honestly, did you fail to find any useful evidence and accidentally kill Shen Jun, and now, not wanting to bear the guilt, you concocted such an absurd excuse to fob me off?"
"Do I need to fob you off in this matter?"
