After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1312 - 1311: The Person Behind the Scenes

Shaking her head, Xia Chuyi responded to her elder brother, "I don’t know the specific details about our opponent, and I don't dare to make too bold of a statement. Furthermore, the person I interacted with was wearing a hat, so I couldn't get a clear look at their face."

This was a point of considerable regret for Xia Chuyi.

"As for Xia Lianlian..." Xia Chuyi continued, "My attention was focused on the lake at that very moment, and I completely missed the exact direction they fled in."

Mother Xia had been pushed into the water, and while Xia Chuyi harbored no affection for her mother, she couldn't simply stand by and do nothing.

Consequently, at that critical juncture, Xia Chuyi was indeed not paying attention to Xia Lianlian's whereabouts.

Upon hearing this, Ou Jun's brows knitted together even more tightly.

The current predicament was that they had pursued the elusive Xia Lianlian twice, only for her to escape on both occasions.

"Chuyi..." Ou Jun addressed Xia Chuyi at this point, "Regarding this entire affair, do you sense... anything unusual about it?"

Much like Xia Chuyi, Ou Jun himself had begun to entertain suspicions about the unfolding events.

"Yes," Xia Chuyi nodded slightly. "Indeed, there is something quite peculiar about this situation."

"Brother, concerning this matter, I suspect the target isn't our two families collectively, but rather, it's specifically aimed at me," Xia Chuyi voiced her growing suspicion.

"Just you?" Xiao Jingqi was the first to speak up upon hearing this, questioning with evident confusion, "Chuyi, have you... had any falling-outs with anyone recently?"

"Falling-outs..." Xia Chuyi shook her head, then nodded slowly. "I have indeed had some altercations with certain individuals, but..."

"Not a single one of those conflicts was initiated by me," Xia Chuyi stated calmly. "And following each confrontation, those who deliberately caused trouble ultimately faced their just desserts."

"Moreover, those individuals..." Xia Chuyi shook her head once more. "To the best of my knowledge, they lack the necessary influence to orchestrate such a scheme."

Among those individuals who had past conflicts with Xia Chuyi, the most influential was undoubtedly Mr. Liu.

However, Mr. Liu, due to his attack on Wang Zicheng, had already been completely neutralized long ago.

Therefore, despite Xia Chuyi's suspicion that these events originated from her own past,

she truly couldn't comprehend who was responsible or the motive behind framing her in such a manner.

Regardless of the specifics, Xia Chuyi was acutely aware that an unseen enemy lurked in the shadows, harboring hidden intentions and poised to strike!

"This entire situation..." Ou Jun’s frown deepened further after listening to Xia Chuyi’s explanation. "Chuyi, please be assured, no matter who is pulling the strings behind the scenes, our family will absolutely assist you in uncovering this person!"

Ou Jun's tone was a mixture of stern anger and unwavering resolve as he spoke.

A wave of warmth spread through Xia Chuyi's heart, and she offered a gentle smile, addressing her family, "Brother, it’s alright. Since the opponent has been operating in secrecy, only revealing themselves indirectly...

"It indicates they also have apprehensions while executing these actions." A spark ignited in Xia Chuyi’s eyes as she continued, "And from our current perspective, their maneuvers have yet to achieve any significant results."

This suggested that if the individual was targeting Xia Chuyi, they must have a specific objective in mind.

Yet, thus far, these occurrences, while causing Xia Chuyi minor inconvenience, had not resulted in any substantial harm.

Their ultimate goal was undoubtedly something far beyond these current actions.
