Chapter 707: The Truth of Yan Kuan’s Poisoning
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You’ve really overestimated yourself. Firstly, Yan Kuan has already recovered. There’s no longer any Long Xi in this world. Secondly, you should keep those sinister things like the Suoyin flower for your own use. I don’t want them.”
“Long Xi is gone? How is that possible?”
“Old woman, you’re not the only one who can create those strange medicines. Do you think you’re richer than me when it comes to money?
“As long as I can afford to pay the people that studied it back then, they’ll be more motivated than you threatening them with their lives and make them do things for you, right? So, are you sure you can control everything?
“As for the Suoyin flower? What do I need to do with that evil and poisonous thing? The Ghost Axe and Black Ganoderma are in my hands. Opening my Shen family’s base is just a matter of my words. What exactly do you think I’m going to use them for?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was right. Everything was as she had said. Lin Jiahui was really useless. But did Shen Xiaoxiao really want to lock her up until she died?
No, it was definitely not that simple.
“Hahaha, girl, you’re smart, but you forgot that I, an old woman, have lived 50 years longer than you.”
“Haven’t you thought about why Yan Kuan fell for my plot? How could I have plotted against a person like him? If I didn’t have a bargaining chip that he was afraid of, do you think I would have succeeded so easily?”
“Girl, you probably don’t know, right? Yan Kuan drank the poison on his own. I didn’t really inject anything into his head, and he willingly drank the poison because of you.”
“That kid is a love-struck child. The Ouyang family has always has a love-struck sage, which is very similar to his grandfather.”
“What do you mean by that?”
That was the purpose of Shen Xiaoxiao’s visit. She just wanted to know how Yan Kuan could have been schemed against by Lin Jiahui. He was obviously full of confidence when he left, but why did he suddenly become like this now? He even released a personality. It was really ironic.
“Girl, how about I make a deal with you?”
“What deal?”
“Let me out and open the Shen family fund. I’ll return your grandfather, your father, and even your Third Uncle. Oh, I almost forgot. I’ll return all of your good mother to you.”
“What?”
“Hahaha, girl, you didn’t hear wrong. I can return all the members of your Shen family to you. They’re not clones, they’re real. You and your family of four.”
“Hmph, do you think I’ll fall for your trick?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“Then go and ask Yan Kuan. Didn’t you say that he’s recovered? Then he’ll definitely be willing to tell you everything he knows. If I really didn’t leave any trump cards in my hands, I would have died countless times already.”
“Old woman, don’t play tricks. If I find out that what you said is fake, I will immediately make your Ouyang Jue die without a burial ground.”
“You dare?!”
“See if I dare. Don’t forget that you have grasped my weak spot, but similarly, I have also grasped yours. To put it bluntly, your obsession is much deeper than mine. After all, in my heart, my family has long died. Whether they live or die, it doesn’t make much of a difference to me.”
“What a heartless girl, you, you, you…”
“Hmph!”
Shen Xiaoxiao turned around and left. Her heart had already stirred up a thousand waves. If what the old woman said was true, Yan Kuan might have consumed poison for her family.
Yan Kuan had always been conceited. Perhaps he believed that nothing would happen to him, which was why he had no scruples and did not hesitate.
However, were her father and grandfather really still alive?
The last time she saw him, she had always thought that he was a clone. But this time, was it really as Lin Jiahui had said?
She wanted to ask Yan Kuan to ask him what was going on.
The mute uncle loved and respected Shen Xiaoxiao very much, especially since Da Bao and Little Treasure had never laughed at him and looked down on him like the children in the village.
Early in the morning, the two children were chattering around him, wanting to knit gra.s.shoppers.
In the middle of winter, there were no cattails, so the mute uncle took off his bamboo hat and knitted it for the two children, making them very happy.
Shen Xiaoxiao took a glance at the side and walked to the other room.
The inside of the room was completely protected by a soft bag. There was nothing but a soft couch and a bed.
Shen Xiaoxiao walked into the room and looked at the person who was chained to the bed sleeping peacefully. She could not describe the feeling in her heart.
This man would never explain anything to anyone. Even if he was misunderstood, he would not explain anything.
Now that she knew that it was very likely because of her that he had become like this, she could not describe the feeling in her heart.
“Are you really that stupid?”
She spoke softly beside his ear. His slightly sunken eyes could tell that he was tired and weak at a glance.
Whether it was for himself or for the sake of returning home as soon as possible, he had actually worked hard before.
“Xiaoxiao.”
The black pupils suddenly opened and looked at her faintly as if they were about to suck her soul.
“You’re awake? I’ll go get you some food. Does your head still hurt?”
“Good girl, I’ve made you worry. I’m fine, I’m fine. How about you? Are you better?”
“I’m fine. Just hang in there. There are four more days. It’ll be over soon.”
“Yes, there are four more days. It’ll be over soon.”
“I’ll go get you some food.”
“No, just talk to me. It’s rare to have such a quiet time. Are the children laughing outside? I never knew that they could be so happy.”
“Yes, they are laughing. They are playing with the snow outside. It’s snowing. It’s snowing heavily outside.”
Seeing the king who used to be the sole ruler of the world being trapped on this palm-sized bed with his limbs locked by iron chains, such a depression was hard for Shen Xiaoxiao to bear.
“I really want to accompany the children and you and live a good life. I can also teach them to build snowmen and fight b.l.o.o.d.y battles.”
“They will. As long as you’re well, you can be with them.”
“Yes, as long as I’m well, I can be with them. Xiaoxiao, can you open some windows? I want to see what’s outside.”
“Oh, okay. I’ll go open them.”
Shen Xiaoxiao got up and walked towards the window.
At this moment, the person who was originally lying on the bed with his limbs locked struggled with all his might. With a bang, the wooden stake at the end of the bed was directly pulled apart. The leg with the iron chain swept towards Shen Xiaoxiao’s back with all its might.
It was said that it was too late, but it was too fast. Shen Xiaoxiao dodged to the side and immediately shot the syringe in her hand towards the person on the bed.
The powerful tranquilizer immediately quieted the person who was struggling.
Shen Xiaoxiao sighed.
From the moment he spoke, she knew that he was not Yan Kuan, but Long Xi. Why would Yan Kuan speak to her so gently? Yan Kuan only knew how to say:
“Little thing, locking your man up? You really don’t have any sympathy.”
Therefore, this was the biggest difference between Long Xi and Yan Kuan.. One would never hurt her, and the other would do everything possible to hurt her.
