Chapter 1728: Do Not Let Your Guard Down

Xie Shiliu answered seriously, “No, I merely tormented him a little. Moreover, that time he was hospitalized, I wasn’t even the one who beat him up. But don’t you think he deserved a beating? After he was beaten up, he had become normal. Master An even looks at him with a hopeful gaze now.”

Xie Liu was quiet for a moment before saying, “Continue to keep an eye on him. I will tell Young Master Xie about the situation.”

“Okay.”

But honestly speaking, Xie Liu felt that much credit went to Xie Shiliu. Ever since Xie Shiliu went to An Yexuan’s side, the latter had been tortured every day and couldn’t find the time to seek trouble with Young Master Xie and Young Madam. This saved them a lot of trouble.

Also, the real Chu Fei’er had no way to control An Yexuan remotely now. This was as good as Xie Shiliu restraining Chu Fei’er, this pawn.

After Xie Liu narrated this in detail to Xie Limo, the latter’s fingers rapped against the desk as a dark glint flashed across his eyes.

“Young Master Xie, say, will this An Yexuan discover Xie Shiliu is fake?”

Xie Limo said calmly, “As long as he subconsciously admits it is real, it is real. But these changes started after he was beaten up, so that goes to show that he started to become normal since then.”

“According to what Xie Shiliu said, there are signs of him becoming normal.”

Xie Limo’s expression froze. He pondered for a moment, a glint flashing across the depths of his eyes as he said calmly, “That ominous energy on An Yexuan has to do with the real Chu Fei’er or Qiao Muwan. Qiao Muwan’s sudden disappearance from the hospital in Country F had coincided with An Yexuan getting beaten up. Perhaps it had the effect of making his ominous energy disappear.”

Xie Liu was shocked. “Then An Yexuan has become normal? But he said nothing since he was discharged.”

“He realized there was something different about himself and hasn’t found the cause for the time being, so he decided to bide his time for now.”

Xie Liu didn’t understand fully. “Then what about Qiao Muwan? Would she be able to know that the ominous energy on An Yexuan disappeared?”

Xie Limo raised his head and glanced at Xie Liu. “Xie Liu, this is actually the same as hypnosis, so the logic is the same.”

Xie Liu suddenly understood. “Young Master Xie, I get it now. If Qiao Muwan was really the one who used witchcraft on him, then if An Yexuan became normal, it would have a countereffect on Qiao Muwan. In other words, she would be suffering these days. Even if she didn’t die from it, she would be tormented greatly.”

Xie Limo nodded. “Your analysis is pretty accurate. But since she has the backing of the Ye family, you’d better check on this properly and not let your guard down.”

“Yes, Young Master Xie suspects that this witchcraft actually had something to do with the Ye family?”

Xie Limo nodded.

Xie Liu was astonished. Later, he acted as Xie Limo instructed.

On top of that, he also instructed Xie Shiliu to continue keeping a close watch on An Yexuan.

Lately, the rich and influential families of the imperial capital were undergoing huge changes, so plenty of people were incredibly busy. The royal family had also started their power struggle in the dark.

After all, His Majesty’s health was on the brink of collapse, and there had to be someone taking over the throne.

With turbulent changes happening in the dark, the Han family stood firmly and wasn’t implicated at all. The newly rising Qin family was also getting more and more prosperous.

The Meng family was an up-and-coming star as well.

The strange thing was, several small and mid-range families such as the Tian family, Tan family, and Shao family, weren’t implicated because they were on good terms with Yun Bixue.

The masters of the Tian family, Lu family, and several other families knew very well that this was because they had supported the correct side from the start.
