"How did you come back yesterday?" Si Ankang asked.
"I... I swam back from the river!"
Xi Bao thought, anyway, Si Ankang already knew she was a Mermaid.
"I thought you went into the deep mountains! There are explosives everywhere in those mountains, even if you're a Mermaid, you'd still get into trouble!" Si Ankang gritted his teeth, speaking each word deliberately.
It wasn't until this moment, holding Xi Bao in his arms and confirming she was unharmed, that he let out a sigh of relief.
Previously, Xi Bao had promised Si Wuxie to cooperate with him in faking his death for a while. Even though Si Ankang is Wuxie's brother, Xi Bao didn't intend to tell him that Wuxie was still alive.
Just as Wuxie said, if Si Ankang and Ye Mengyuan thought Wuxie was dead, it would be more convincing, making it easier to lure out the person behind the scenes.
Therefore, Xi Bao didn't mention anything about Wuxie being in her room and instead pretended to ask, "Have you found Wuxie?"
