第161章 "Web of Lies Unravels"

**161th Chapter: The Web of Deceit**

Jiang Wanshan's words still lingered in the air, heavy with the weight of accusation. Lin Qingxue's eyes narrowed, her expression darkening like a stormy sky. "You're just making this up to cover your own tracks, aren't you?" she spat, her voice low and menacing.

Jiang Wanshan's smile never wavered, but his eyes seemed to flash with a hint of warning. "Someone has to tell the truth, Lin Qingxue. And I'm the only one who remembers the past."

Lin Qingxue's face twisted in rage, her fists clenched at her sides. "You're playing with fire, Jiang Wanshan. You're going to burn yourself to ashes."

The room was silent, the tension crackling like electricity in the air. Jiang Wanshan's words had struck a nerve, and Lin Qingxue was struggling to keep her emotions in check.

Just then, a knock at the door broke the silence. Lin Qingxue's eyes flashed to the door, her expression unreadable. Jiang Wanshan's eyes never left hers, but his head inclined slightly, as if he knew who was standing outside.

The door opened, and a tall, muscular figure strode in. His eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on Jiang Wanshan before settling on Lin Qingxue. "What's going on?" he asked, his deep voice calm and commanding.

Lin Qingxue's eyes never left Jiang Wanshan's face. "Just a little discussion, Lao San," she said, her voice dripping with malice.

Jiang Wanshan's smile grew wider, and he stood up, his eyes glinting with a hint of mischief. "Ah, Lao San. Perfect timing. I was just about to explain the truth to Lin Qingxue."

Lao San's eyes narrowed, but he didn't interrupt. Instead, he stepped forward, his massive frame looming over Jiang Wanshan. "Explain what, Jiang Wanshan?" he asked, his voice low and menacing.

Jiang Wanshan's eyes never left Lao San's face. "The truth about the past, Lao San. The truth about the betrayal."

Suddenly, the room seemed to flash with tension, the air thick with unspoken words. Lin Qingxue's eyes snapped to Lao San, her expression unreadable. Lao San's eyes never left Jiang Wanshan, his face a mask of calm.

But Jiang Wanshan wasn't fooled. He knew that Lao San was hiding something, something that could change everything. And he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Let's go, Lao San," he said, his voice low and menacing. "We have some unfinished business to attend to."

Lao San's eyes never left Jiang Wanshan's face. "You're not taking her anywhere," he said, his voice low and deadly.

The room seemed to hold its breath, the tension crackling like electricity in the air. Jiang Wanshan's smile never wavered, but his eyes seemed to flash with a hint of warning.

And then, everything went black.
