Chapter 343: Chapter 343: His Suspicion and Guard
Yan Qianyi was startled by the sudden alarm sound, accidentally pricking her fingertip with the needle, which made her wince slightly.
Xia Ziyu quickly grabbed the hand holding the silver needle, his eyes narrowing, “There’s sothing wrong with this silver needle!”
“What’s the problem?” Yan Qianyi, in a bad mood, impatiently shook off Xia Ziyu’s hand. “Turn off your personal system’s sound; it’s giving a headache.”
Xia Ziyu turned off the alarm, then scanned Yan Qianyi’s silver needle with his bracelet, his expression turning unusually serious.
“Where did you get this set of silver needles? The ends all contain tracking locators.”
Just as Yan Qianyi was about to put away the silver needles, she heard this and her face fell, looking up at Xia Ziyu, “What did you say?”
“I was just checking the Fox’s personal information; I always turn on the surveillance protection system when I work. The alarm went off because there’s sothing unusual in your silver needles. Look, I’ve scanned it, there are red dots on the end of each needle, indicating a tracking system inside.”
Xia Ziyu said this, then scanned again, pushing the Light Screen in front of Yan Qianyi for her to see.
Yan Qianyi’s brows furrowed tightly, and her heart clenched.
Xia Ziyu asked urgently, “Have you taken these on any missions recently?”
“I haven’t taken on any assignnts from the organization recently.”
Since taking over Yan’s, she had been very busy every day.
Moreover, her focus had recently been on investigating her mother’s death.
“That’s good,” Xia Ziyu sighed with relief and asked, “Who made this set of silver needles for you? That person might suspect or intend sothing against you, you need to be careful.”
“Get so rest early.”
Yan Qianyi didn’t answer. She left with those words and walked out.
The silver needles had been made for her by Mu Yunlie.
So, even though they had both now given each other their hearts and bodies, he still harbored suspicions and guardedness towards her.
What exactly was he skeptical and cautious about?
Could it be because of her brother?
Was he still worried she would harm him?
Apart from the Cat Immortal identity, she had been honest with him about everything.
The Cat Immortal was the only secret she wanted to keep; she liked to administer justice that way.
And for his own identity and family background, not letting him know was also for his own good.
Yan Qianyi felt she was going insane.
Back in the bedroom, she lay down on the bed and looked at the ceiling in despair.
At that mont, she finally faced a harsh reality.
She and Mu Yunlie were dood from the start; there was no future.
Yan Qianyi placed her hand on her abdon.
Actually, many tis, she had the impulse to tell him they were expecting a baby.
Now she was glad her rationality had suppressed that impulse.
Yan Qianyi stayed up all night, lying in bed, staring blankly, her eyes so vacant it was as if she had lost her soul.
It wasn’t until the first rays of sunlight in the morning stread through the window that she suddenly sat up with a start.
It was ti to pull herself together!
Only then did she go to the washroom to remove her makeup and take a bath.
After the bath, she felt a bit better, but a night without sleep still left two dark circles under her eyes.
After putting on her clothes, she walked directly to the lab’s door and pushed it open, entering the room.
Xia Ziyu, who was asleep, was startled and sat up abruptly, thinking that it was soone sent by his parents.
Squinting, he recognized Yan Qianyi and laid back down, hugging the blanket tight, and said helplessly, “Although I’m living under soone else’s roof, I’ve paid for my als, can you at least respect that by knocking before entering?”
Yan Qianyi didn’t respond or even look at him; she walked straight to the window and pulled back the heavy curtains.
The glaring light flooded in, and Xia Ziyu quickly covered his head with the blanket, “What are you doing? I’m still trying to sleep!”
Yan Qianyi remained silent, starting to fiddle with her dicines.
She had already administered the silver needle procedure to Mu Yunlie many tis, controlling the toxins well inside his body and even eliminating so.
If she could not continue administering the needles, she would have to make more dicine for him to gradually cleanse the remaining toxins.
Regardless, even though he was full of suspicion and guarded against her, she still hoped he would be well in the future.
Slowly, Xia Ziyu pulled the blanket from over his head, his eyes gradually adjusting to the light.
Then he got up and walked over to Yan Qianyi.
As he ca closer, he noticed that Yan Qianyi had heavy dark circles under her eyes.
“What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
“Move away, don’t block .”
Yan Qianyi pushed Xia Ziyu aside with her elbow and turned to grab so dried herbs from the dicine rack.
Xia Ziyu nodded to himself, answering his own question, “Well, yes, if I knew who killed my mother, I’d also have a sleepless night, itching to kill her right away.”
“So are you planning to make poison to kill Mu Huaner?”
“Is that necessary? Isn’t making soone disappear from this world an easy thing to do?”
Hearing this, Yan Qianyi stopped in her tracks and said, “No, I can’t just kill her directly, I must find Xu Zhiqiang, find the evidence.”
Xia Ziyu thought for a mont and nodded, “Indeed, for now we can only prove Xu Zhiqiang is the killer, but whether Mu Huaner is the mastermind behind the scenes, we really can’t prove that.”
Yan Qianyi startled, her eyes suddenly lit up with a glimr of hope, “Do you think the mastermind might not necessarily be Mu Huaner?”
“Xu Zhiqiang has always been her man, and he left the Mu Family after the incident two years ago. While Mu Huaner is highly suspicious, although it’s almost certain, we still don’t have concrete evidence proving it was her,” Xia Ziyu explained, “Usually, when we take on missions at the organization, those we deal with, don’t we have conclusive evidence of their cris?”
Yan Qianyi self-mockingly chuckled, “Indeed, it’s almost certain.”
What was she still hoping for?
From Mu Huaner’s attitude towards her, it was clear she knew about the concealed dical incident.
That’s why Mu Huaner disliked her so much and openly opposed her being with Ah Lie.
But Old Master Mu didn’t exhibit such an attitude; if he knew, he wouldn’t still appear to like her so much.
Thus, the person with the biggest suspicion in the Mu Family was Mu Huaner.
“We must find Xu Zhiqiang,” declared Yan Qianyi with determination.
Xia Ziyu patted his chest and promised, “Leave it to .”
“Na any price, as long as I can afford it.”
Xia Ziyu scoffed disdainfully,
“Forget it, stop leading on with false promises. You previously promised that if I helped you confirm the identity of the person in the surveillance video, you would have the Masked Divine Doctor check up on my health, but you haven’t kept your word yet, and you’re still bothering while I rest. What can I expect from you?”
“Go sit on the couch,” Yan Qianyi instructed.
“Why?”
“Don’t ask, just go sit down.”
Confused, Xia Ziyu didn’t understand what Yan Qianyi was planning to do, but he obediently went and sat down on the couch.
