"If there's blame to be had, it should be on me," Ding Haijing said.
Jiang Xiao was startled, "Blame you? Why blame you? What's this got to do with you?"
"Of course it's related," Ding Haijing replied, "It's because I told you earlier that Hu Xiangyong would be wary in the Capital City, so you felt at ease."
If he hadn't said that, Jiang Xiao might have been more cautious of Hu Xiangyong. So Ding Haijing felt that if there's blame, it might as well be on him.
Jiang Xiao shook her head.
"That's not the way to put it. Forget it, blaming anyone now is pointless."
The matter had already happened and passed. What was the use of dwelling on who was to blame?
"You deliberately led their people to kill Hu, didn't you?" Ding Haijing asked in a lowered tone.
Jiang Xiao pressed her lips together, not answering directly but said, "Hu Xiangyong can no longer be left alive."
At that time, Ding Haijing might not have heard what Hu Xiangyong said to her alone.
