Beauty and the Bodyguard

Everyone nodded after hearing this. This reasoning did sound reasonable. Although they didn't know why the murderer would do this, it was the only way to target all the East province's disciples.

"Do you mean that those chefs are the murderers?" Liu Ziyu's eyes narrowed. She still felt that something was amiss, but since so many people agreed, she could only follow the other party's line of thought and ask.

"It's possible, but it's almost impossible. They're all top class families on Sky Class Island, and poisoning their food would be worse than killing them. Besides, their families are all in the East Province Academy, so there's no reason for them to do that. " Ren Zhongyuan pinched his chin and analyzed the situation objectively.

"That's right. They have very little contact with the disciples of the East Province, so they shouldn't have such a motive. Besides, if they really had such a thought, they could have done it on the way to the West Island. Why wait until now?" Yi Xiaotian echoed.

Lin Yi could pretty much guess what was going on from the two's reaction-they were probably going to target him next if they were to follow the others "train of thought.

"In that case, who is it? The others can't enter the kitchen without permission, so there shouldn't be a chance for them to poison it. " Liu Ziyu shook her head. The kitchen wasn't a place that could be easily sneaked in.

"No, the rest of us really don't have the chance to poison him. There's only one person who fits this condition, and that's the person in charge of moving the food today. As long as we find this person, all the problems will naturally be solved!" Ren Zhongyuan had indeed revealed his true colors.

"The people who moved the food today?" Liu Ziyu frowned slightly. There were specialized disciples in charge of the rotation work, and she really didn't know the specific division of labor. She immediately looked at the disciple and said,"Who is it?"

The disciple took out the name list and glanced at it. His expression changed and he said,""It's Lin Yi!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yi, shocked and angry. They didn't know Lin Yi and had no grudges with him, but who would've thought that this guy would poison them as soon as he got on the ship?

"Lin Yi? Why is it Lin Yi?" Liu Ziyu was also shocked. She had felt that something was wrong from the beginning, and now it had come true.

"Yes, it's him! I've seen him moving food before!" Very quickly, a disciple stepped forward to testify.

"Yes, yes, I saw it too!" Many of the other disciples chimed in-this wasn't a secret, after all, and more than half of the East Province disciples had seen Lin Yi move the food.

The crowd was excited, and Lin Yi suddenly became the target of everyone. He was pushed to the opposite side of everyone, and under the threat of life, they could only grab onto this life-saving straw. Only by locking on to Lin Yi, the real culprit, could they get the antidote!

"Hmph, he really has the ambition of a Wolf! We were kind enough to let you hitch a ride, but instead of being grateful, you want to poison all of us to death. What are your intentions?" Ren Zhongyuan looked at Lin Yi coldly, his lips unconsciously curved into a sinister smile.

"There's no need to waste any more words on this scum. Hurry up and capture him and force him to give us the antidote. The longer we delay, the more our lives will be in danger. We can't afford to delay any longer. Vice Dean Liu, what do you think?" Yi Xiaotian encouraged everyone.

"Yes, catch the real murderer and force out the antidote!" As expected, everyone was anxious. Anyone who discovered a time bomb-like poisonous gas swimming in their body would find it difficult to maintain their rationality.

"Well ..." Liu Ziyu couldn't help but feel like she was riding a Tiger and couldn't stop. Of course, she didn't believe that Lin Yi was the one who poisoned her, but the situation was out of control. If she didn't do something, it was hard to say what would happen next.

"Vice Dean Liu, you're not thinking of covering for him at this point, are you? You're the leader of our East province's diplomatic group. Do you really intend to disregard the lives of so many people and steel your heart to associate with this kind of scum with Wolf-like ambitions?" Ren Zhongyuan sneered.

Lin Yi wasn't the only one who made a fool of him yesterday-the old woman was an accomplice as well, so of course he'd make things difficult for her-he had to make her do it to Lin Yi herself!

Liu Ziyu glared at him, but she couldn't refute him directly. Otherwise, the East Province disciples would really explode. To a certain extent, she had been kidnapped by the public's will. Even if she raised all kinds of doubts, it would only make people think that she was covering for Lin Yi, and increase their dissatisfaction.

"Hold on!" At this moment, Huo yudie stepped forward and looked at Ren Zhongyuan coldly.""You said that Lin Yi's the culprit, but what's his motive? he has no grudges with us, why would he poison us?"

"That's right, Lin Yi's the Prince Consort of the Western part of the island-you guys are framing him without any evidence, do you really think that the Western part of the island is a pushover?" Ning Xuefei attacked at the same time. Even though she was not very powerful, her status was there. She had been influenced by ning Shangling since she was young, so she really had the aura of a superior.

When everyone heard this, they immediately shrank back. They weren't stupid. Liu Ziyu could see many suspicious points in this matter, and so could they. The reason why the crowd was so excited was purely to save time.

If Lin Yi happened to be the real culprit, then they would be able to get the antidote right away. If they couldn 't, they would just be accusing Lin Yi. They just needed to move on to the next suspect. As for whether Lin Yi died or not, it didn't matter to them at all.

However, now that Huo yudie and ning Xuefei were making things difficult for them, they didn't dare to stand out. If they wronged Lin Yi, they would have to pay the price. Everyone turned their attention to Ren Zhongyuan again.

"The motive is simple. Didn't you say that I flipped his table yesterday? Hmph, then he must have a grudge in his heart. He's much weaker than me, so he can only use such a despicable trick like poisoning me. What else do you have to say?" Ren Zhongyuan retorted with a cold smile.

"Ridiculous! Even if Lin Yi really wanted to take revenge, he only needed to poison you. Why did he have to go so far as to poison everyone? isn't he just asking for trouble?" Huo yudie asked.

"That's right, our Lin Yi isn't as stupid as some people, using such a low-level trick without any skill!" Ning Xuefei pouted.

"Hmph, he's not stupid, but he has a strong desire for revenge! When I flipped his table yesterday, no one else helped, so he decided to bear a grudge against me. How can we normal people understand the thoughts of such a sinister villain?" Ren Zhongyuan retorted unhurriedly, his eyes filled with pride. (To be continued.)
