Chapter 166: Chapter 150: Who is Truly Evil?

Having received Jiang Xiao’s permission,

Old Wang even sat down on the sofa and took a sip of water.

One couldn’t tell if he was as unbothered as a dead pig in boiling water or if he simply had nothing to fear due to his own integrity, but Old Wang’s expression unexpectedly relaxed.

"Jiang Xiao, I’ll just ask you one question first. If you, as a father who deeply loves his own daughter, could you allow a perverted sex maniac like me to live with your daughter? Especially now that your daughter’s body is beginning to develop."

Jiang Xiao’s anger flared up again, dammit! Of course not!

Wait a second?

Everyone present was taken aback as if they all faintly grasped at something in their minds.

"Well, I, Old Wang, admit that I have a penchant for voyeurism to some extent, and no one here should object to that, right?"

No one objected.

This lecherous pervert indeed had such preferences.

"Mr. Li, hmm, although his level of voyeurism is far beyond mine, if I say I somewhat understand his innermost thoughts, you should agree, right?"

If that was the case, both men shared a hobby of spying on others.

Although Old Wang’s level was nowhere near Mr. Li’s "sophistication," claiming that he only understood a "bit" was still somewhat credible.

"Don’t worry, I won’t just make one-sided guesses, I’ll present my own deduction as well as the reason why I dared to go to Li Xiaoyun’s room!"

Even Jiang Xiao furrowed his brows.

Perhaps the situation was different from what he had imagined?

"Heh, no need for me to spell out how pathological Mr. Li’s voyeurism is, right?"

"But he has managed to completely ignore his beloved daughter’s secrets."

"One could even say that there are very few parents in the world who can achieve what Mr. Li has, almost showing one hundred percent respect for their daughter’s privacy! Don’t you find that problematic? He is a top-level perverted voyeur, after all!"

A’Zhi interrupted Old Wang’s speech.

"But you also said, Li Xiaoyun is Mr. Li’s most beloved daughter. Although Mr. Li’s respect for not delving into Li Xiaoyun’s privacy does indeed exceed that of normal parents, it’s not entirely unreasonable, is it?"

Old Wang interrupted A’Zhi’s words.

"You have a point, as a father who deeply loves his own daughter, it is indeed possible to completely avoid learning about their daughter’s privacy."

"But don’t forget, Mr. Li is not a normal father; his voyeurism has reached an incurable level!"

Old Wang’s expression was manic, and even his speech became somewhat illogical, but it did not hinder everyone’s understanding.

"Why do people say that ’love’ for someone can reach a ’pathological’ level? Isn’t it because of the depth of the love? So, they desire to possess everything about the other person!"

"Not to mention Mr. Li, who is already sick, how could he possibly remain indifferent to the secrets of the one he loves the most?"

Hiss...

Indeed, something didn’t add up.

Normal parents are often very interested in their daughter’s thoughts.

Especially the closer the relationship, the more they want to uncover the other person’s secrets because it makes them feel like they understand the other better.

This is undoubtedly true!

Just think about it for a moment, if you had to choose between knowing a secret of an acquaintance and that of a stranger.

90% of people would most likely choose to know the acquaintance’s secret, right?

And from what can be seen in Li Xiaoyun’s notes,

At the very least, Mr. Li had ceased all curiosity and exploration about her from the time she began junior high.

Perhaps even earlier.

Because the earliest entries in Li Xiaoyun’s diary are from junior high.

This is the time when girls enter puberty, which is also when parents worry the most.

Yet Mr. Li, who harbors perverted voyeuristic tendencies, chose not to spy on his own daughter, not even for a second?

"Hehe, you all find it unreasonable now, don’t you?" Old Wang sneered, interrupting everyone’s thoughts.

"Let me tell you why, because Mr. Li loves his daughter too much. Li Xiaoyun is the most sacred, the most perfect being in his heart, an existence incomparable to anything else. This love has transcended what you can understand, and of course, it has gone beyond my comprehension as well."

He Menghan furrowed her brows, asking in confusion.

"So, according to you, Mr. Li does love his daughter, and all of this is because of you!"

"Yes! It’s because of me! It was I who destroyed Li Xiaoyun!"

Old Wang didn’t deny it, and at the same time, he emphasized it again.

"But all the vile things I did to Li Xiaoyun were exactly what Mr. Li wanted to see! Yet, he doesn’t dare to admit it!"

Ah?! What does that mean?

And what sort of bizarre thought process is this?

Jiang Xiao was already itching to beat him up; this beast’s words were a complete insult to a father’s love for his daughter!

"Don’t be in such a hurry to hit me; I’ve said it, I don’t speak without basis."

Old Wang seemed to contemplate where to begin.

It took him a while before he spoke slowly.

"First, let’s make an assumption, does Mr. Li know for certain there’s some secret in Li Xiaoyun’s room? This secret I mention is not the diary I found; the scope is very broad. Do you all understand?"

The crowd took a moment to think and soon grasped the meaning behind Old Wang’s words.

He meant to say that Li Xiaoyun’s room hid some secrets of her own.

And for a young girl’s private room to have secrets is reasonable, right?

Not just diaries, but, for example, some borderline photos, or some underwear parents wouldn’t let her wear, and even love letters or chat logs; these could all be considered secrets.

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Old Wang continued to speak, or rather, continued to deduce Mr. Li’s psychological state.

"Mr. Li definitely knew there were secrets in his daughter’s room, and from the surveillance room, he knew I was a lecherous pervert with a penchant for peeping. He also knew that I would definitely covet his daughter’s beauty, right?"

Yes, that’s correct, Mr. Li knew all of this.

"But he intentionally left the keys that could open all the rooms in the villa on the sofa, and now when I say the keys were intentionally left there, they won’t deny it, right?"

Everyone nodded their heads.

Even Jiang Xiao had to admit this, as Mr. Li himself had told him the previous night that he had purposely left the keys on the sofa.

To make the story more "interesting."

"I’ll ask again, Mr. Li actually knew the keys were taken by me long ago, right?"

Yes...

That was also true.

"Heh, so he knew everything, but he let me stay alone in the villa while he took you all out to summer camp?"

"Didn’t he know that I, a lecherous old man, would one hundred percent sneak into his daughter’s room and do perverted things?"

"He knew! He knew everything, but he purposely gave me the opportunity!"

Jiang Xiao had resettled back on the sofa, his mind in turmoil.

Old Wang was completely right, disturbingly so...

"There’s something I guessed afterward but never got to ask; did Mr. Li find an excuse to ’leave’ you all on the way to the summer camp?"

Now everyone was shocked.

Old Wang was spot on!

It would be against reason for Old Wang, who didn’t leave the house, to know about Mr. Li’s departure during the summer camp!

Why?

Did he see Mr. Li return or what?

"Of course it’s not because I saw it, but because I guessed it..."

Old Wang narrowed his eyes, seemingly puzzled by Mr. Li’s baffling actions as well.

"I guess he left you all to return to the villa and watch my next ’move,’ right? Otherwise, why would he come back?"

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes.

He was somewhat unwilling to confront another "reality."

He didn’t want to face it, but Old Wang continued talking regardless.

"So, everything I did in his daughter’s room, even taking the diary, he was fully aware of!"

Jiang Xiao interrupted Old Wang; he only needed to confirm one thing now.

"The day of the summer camp, after Mr. Li left the main group, did he go back or not?"
