"Is there anyone else besides Tang Ming?" Yan Mo continued to ask.

"No, this matter is too big, we dare not let too many people know." Qin Qi shook her head, the fewer people aware of this, the better for them. That’s why they didn’t dare tell many people. If they weren’t worried about being tracked down because of their identities purchasing tickets, they wouldn’t tell anyone.

"It’s not Tang Ming," the man said with firmness in his voice.

"Why couldn’t it be him? We staked him out for several days and discovered him run to a courtyard beside the old Xì yuán and didn’t leave until nightfall. He even carried a smell of Yin Qi." Xia Yue purposely said when she heard him speak up.

"I said it’s not him." The man glared ominously at Xia Yue and others, his eyes filled with fierceness.

Intimidated by his vigor, Xia Yue hid behind Yan Mo immediately.

She thought to herself: I’ve been too glib. This guy clearly isn’t someone to be trifled with, and yet here I was making jokes.

"I also don’t think it’s Tang Ming. Tang Ming has a great relationship with Tian Rong. After he found out about our love, he often created diversions for us to meet. All our dates were successful thanks to his help," Qin Qi agreed with the man’s words.

"Then, could there be a possibility that someone overheard your plans to escape, someone who is your or Master Tian’s enemy. They used your plan, and you ended up burned to death.

Think carefully. After planning this endeavor, did anyone around you behave oddly, or secretly watch you?" Wen Ziyin chimed in, prompting her to recall.

"Or, did you overhear or see some people in secret discussions. Maybe you were misunderstood to have seen or heard something you shouldn’t have. As a result, they wanted to silence you. As it happened, they discovered your staged death plan and used it to kill you," Upon hearing Wen Ziyin’s prompts for Qin Qi, Xia Yue also chimed in with her speculation.

Taken aback, Qin Qi lowered her head, delving deep into recollection.

Eventually, she managed to remember something significant.

She relayed her recollection to Xia Yue and the others in a hurry.

"Before we planned to elope, I saw Wan Ting with a man in the backyard one day. I didn’t pay them much attention at that time, so I just walked directly over. When I was in front of them, both of their faces looked a bit flustered. I didn’t pay it much mind at that moment, just found it a bit strange and left," Qin Qi said.

"What’s your relationship with that Wan Ting?" Xia Yue inquired straight away.

"Not very friendly. I’m the lead actress in the theater troupe. Though Wan Ting isn’t as good a singer as me, she has been in Xì yuán longer than me. She thinks that I stole her position, so she’s often indifferent towards me, even trying to trip me up on occasion." Qin Qi responded with a furrowed brow.

Everyone immediately took note to look more into this Wan Ting.

"Besides that encounter with her and a man in the backyard, did you find anything else suspicious about her?" Wen Ziyin asked.

"Since that incident, she has tried to probe several times about why I was there that day, and if I heard anything," Qin Qi explained.

"Well, this person does seem suspicious. Do you remember who the man she was with? Do you recognize him?" Xia Yue wrote something down on her notebook, then looked up at her to ask.

"I remember him being familiar, but can’t remember what his name was." Qin Qi shook her head.
