Chapter 446: Did He Steal Your Jade Pendant?
"I'm telling you so much, I'm already giving you face. The fox patriarch resolutely waved his hand at Lin Yiran, his tone was full of undoubtedness, "You go back and tell Meng Wen that if it wasn't for his son to hand it over, we wouldn't give up!"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something again, looked at Lin Yiran and said, "If your Space Alliance wants to help the Meng family, I don't mind calling all the clansmen here and having fun with you for a while!"
"Niu Jiu, send off!"
As the fox patriarch's words fell, the guard who had brought Lin Yiran over before opened the door curtain and made a "please" gesture to Lin Yiran.
"Farewell. Lin Yiran hugged his fist at the fox patriarch, and then walked out of the tent directly.
After all, the fox patriarch's tough attitude has been very clear, if the other party can't take Meng Bopeng, or can't find evidence to prove that Meng Bopeng is innocent, then the orcs will definitely not give up.
Based on his understanding of the orcs, most of the orcs are very dead-eyed, and as long as they believe in something, they will definitely stick to it.
As soon as Lin Yiran returned to the city wall at the north gate of Mengcheng, Meng Wen couldn't wait to ask: "Alliance leader, how is it, are the orcs willing to retreat?"
"What kind of soldiers, are you so good at treating me as a face?" Lin Yiran couldn't help but glance at Meng Wen, and said angrily, then he glanced at Meng Bopeng and said lightly: "People want you to hand over your precious son, otherwise you won't give up." ”
After speaking, he secretly observed Meng Bopeng's reaction.
Listening to Lin Yiran's words, Meng Wen couldn't help but glance at Meng Bopeng, and asked suspiciously, "Why?"
And Meng Bopeng also looked at Lin Yiran blankly and didn't say anything.
"Why, don't you know if you ask your son?" Lin Yiran said lightly. Regardless of whether Meng Bopeng was innocent or not, he would definitely have to test the other party first, because he knew that even if Meng Bopeng really killed the daughter of the fox patriarch, Meng Bopeng would definitely not admit it easily.
What he has to do now is to confirm whether Meng Wen is shielding his son, if Meng Wen is indeed shielding his son, then he will definitely not interfere in this matter.
"Peng'er?" Meng Wen looked at Meng Bopeng coldly, his eyes were full of fierceness, not like he was pretending.
"What?" Meng Bopeng was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't react immediately, and then he quickly understood what Meng Wen meant, and said depressedly: "Father, it's really none of my business!"
"It's really none of your business?!" Meng Wen asked sharply, his voice becoming a little hoarse.
"Really!" Meng Bopeng replied with an oath, not avoiding Meng Wen's eyes in the slightest.
"Do you think this is yours?" Seeing that the performance of these two fathers and sons was flawless, Lin Yiran had a little more trust in Meng Bopeng and Meng Wen, but based on their performance alone, he couldn't be sure that their father and son were innocent. So he could only hand the jade pendant to Meng Bopeng, wanting to see if the other party would admit that this jade pendant was his own.
Meng Bopeng took the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "This is indeed my jade pendant, how can it be with you?" As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yiran suspiciously.
Hearing Meng Bopeng say this, Meng Wen also looked at Lin Yiran, his eyes full of doubts.
Lin Yiran stared at Meng Bopeng's eyes for a long time, and after finding that the other party didn't seem to be lying, he said: "The fox patriarch of the beast clan said that you killed his daughter, and this jade pendant is the evidence." ”
As soon as his words fell, those people were in an uproar, and they turned their ill-intentioned eyes on Meng Bopeng, as if to say, "We worked hard for you, but it turned out that you killed someone else's daughter."
In short, they felt that they had been pitted by Meng Bopeng.
Seeing such a situation, Lan Yibai said to them lightly: "Don't worry, everyone, the matter has not been clarified yet, if it is indeed Meng Bopeng who caused the trouble, we will definitely let him give everyone an explanation." ”
Seeing Lan Yibai say this, those people took their ill-intentioned gaze back.
"It's wronged!" Meng Bopeng first shouted in confusion, and then explained to Lin Yiran aggrievedly: "I lost this jade pendant half a month ago, and I was looking for it for a long time, but in the end I still didn't find it." ”
"I lost it half a month ago?" Lin Yiran frowned and glanced at Meng Bopeng, "Did you lose it when you killed the fox patriarch's daughter?"
There was no evidence, so he didn't fully believe Meng Bopeng's words.
And the fox patriarch didn't explain to him clearly what happened at that time, so it was impossible for him to fully believe the fox patriarch's unilateral statement.
If he wants to find out the truth of the matter, he can only use some small means.
"I said I was wronged. Meng Bopeng spread his hands helplessly, and explained weakly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask our family Meng Lu, I found that he was also present when the jade pendant was missing, and he helped me find it for a long time at that time, he can help me testify!"
"Then I'll believe your words for the time being, when and how did you remember when and how you lost it?" Regarding Meng Bopeng's words, Lin Yiran was originally half-convinced, and he had no sense of trust in the people of the Meng family, even if he really went to the people of the Meng family to verify it, and got the news from Meng Runa that Meng Bopeng did lose the jade pendant half a month ago, it was impossible to prove that what Meng Bopeng said was true.
It's better to assume that what Meng Bopeng said is the truth, and then slowly ask him for verification.
"You let me think about it......" Meng Bopeng began to spin in circles, scratching his mouth and cheeks as he recalled.
Seeing this, Lin Yiran shook his head slightly, pretending to ask Meng Wen intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you think Ling Gongzi will be so bad as to kill someone?"
"Ouch, my alliance leader!" Meng Wen patted his thigh anxiously and said earnestly: "Although my son is a little stubborn, he is also a member of the five major families, how could I let him do such evil?!"
"The head of the Meng family doesn't need to be in such a hurry, I'm just asking casually. Lin Yiran said to Meng Wen with a smile, the reason why he said so much was actually to find out whether Meng Bopeng would do something that would harm people's lives.
At this moment, Meng Bopeng clapped his palms excitedly, and then said to Lin Yiran: "I remember, it was half a month ago, that is, on the morning of the third day of junior high school, when I came back, I met Lai Jun in the west of the city on the road, and then when I got home, I found that the jade pendant was missing!"
"Lai Jun, did he steal your jade pendant?" Lin Yiran asked lightly.
