「Hospital.」
As soon as Huang Ying entered, her entire body tensed up, her limbs stiffening from nervousness.
Jian Xi, disguised as an assistant, followed by her side. "Maybe you should go back! In this state, I’m afraid Si Junyan will beco alert. He’s incredibly perceptive."
Having been grood by the Si family, he was extrely clever.
"If I leave, what will you do?"
Huang Ying patted Jian Xi’s hand. "Don’t worry. If I said I can do it, I definitely can."
They had just walked through the entrance when a bodyguard imdiately approached them.
"Are you the psychologist recomnded by the dean?"
"Yes! My na is Huang Ying, and this is my professional certification."
Huang Ying lifted her head and puffed out her chest. Her deanor transford in an instant, as if she had beco a different person—unflappable, neither servile nor overbearing.
The bodyguard glanced at her and nodded. "Go on in."
As Jian Xi was about to follow her in, she was stopped imdiately. "You cannot enter."
"This is my assistant. Why can’t she co in?"
Jian Xi clenched her fists tightly. If she had the skills of Si Yuhuan, she would bust in right away, take down Si Junyan, and force out the whereabouts of the child. But she knew better than to act impulsively at the mont.
"Forget it, Doctor Huang," Jian Xi said, handing the dical kit to Huang Ying and giving her a aningful look. "It’s okay. You go on."
Huang Ying whispered in her ear, "Don’t worry. I’ll help you with what you want to do."
Jian Xi looked up. She felt that this Huang Ying was quite extraordinary, although she couldn’t quite put her finger on why.
Half an hour later, Huang Ying ca out.
"Huh? It’s amazing! The noise inside has quieted down," one bodyguard remarked.
The others murmured in agreent.
Huang Ying instructed, "The patient inside has fallen asleep. You don’t need to disturb him if it’s not necessary."
"Sure, sure, sure." The bodyguards’ attitude improved significantly.
Huang Ying pulled Jian Xi, eager to leave the troubleso place.
「In the garage.」
Huang Ying took out her phone. "Take a look."
Jian Xi was surprised to see Huang Ying had recorded a video of hypnotizing Si Junyan. His body was riddled with muscle decay, his handso face twisted and disfigured, barely recognizable as human. He was missing an arm, leaving an empty sleeve, and his clothes were a blur of blood and flesh.
Jian Xi couldn’t help but swallow hard. What on earth had her fourth brother given this man, turning him into such a ghastly sight, not quite human, not quite ghost?
"However, it’s precisely because he beca like this that I could use hypnosis smoothly," Huang Ying explained.
The following part of the video revealed the address where Mingming was hiding.
"It’s indeed near the old Huo family mansion."
Jian Xi clenched her fists tightly, lost in thought.
"What’s wrong? Is there a problem?" Huang Ying’s eyes shone with eager anticipation.
Jian Xi stared at her with puzzlent. "Aren’t you scared anymore?"
"Right! It doesn’t look that terrifying. Si Junyan is indeed shrewd, but his mind has been tornted until it’s unclear. He’s not as scary as you described. Right now, who knows how grateful he is to ? I bet it’ll be hard for him to ever get away from ."
"Huang Ying, why did you approach ?" Jian Xi suddenly asked, looking at her.
Huang Ying was taken aback for a mont, her lips twisting awkwardly. "What are you saying, Miss Jian? I don’t understand what you an."
"Is it that you don’t understand, or you don’t want to understand?" Jian Xi’s eyes, which seed to see through everything, scrutinized Huang Ying. "Whose person are you? A certain organization?"
"No, no, no!" Huang Ying quickly waved her hands. "You mustn’t misunderstand. I am absolutely not a person from the Secret Gate or the Z Group."
"Even knowing all this, you still dare to say you’re just an ordinary psychological consultant?" Jian Xi adopted a defensive posture.
Huang Ying raised her hands. "Oh, I’m being wrongfully accused!"
"All right, I’ll confess!" Huang Ying’s head drooped. "You should know Song Xicheng, right?"
"Huh?" Jian Xi was utterly confused. What did this matter have to do with Song Xicheng? The only explanation...
"Si Yuhuan wouldn’t know any impressive psychological consultants, so he turned to Song Xicheng for help. Because I like Song Xicheng, I willingly made this trip for him."
"So when I said I would pretend to be a psychological consultant to et Si Junyan, you volunteered to help?"
No wonder she was indifferent to money.
"That’s not all. I will also help you retrieve your son and take down the Secret Gate."
"They even dared to make a move on Song Xicheng, utterly overestimating themselves. Is he soone they can touch?" Huang Ying declared with a domineering presence.
Such power!
The Huang Ying before her seed extraordinary, as if surrounded by a bright light that illuminated her entire being.
"I never imagined Song Xicheng actually has such a good confidante in you."
"My feelings are unrequited. He’s so outstanding; there’s no chance for with him."
Jian Xi put her hand on Huang Ying’s shoulder. "You haven’t even tried. How can you say it’s impossible?"
For the man she loved, she braved dangerous grounds. Thinking carefully, everything made sense.
"Huang Ying, you are great. At least for love, you are bold and extraordinary. But I hope, from now on, you won’t interfere anymore."
"Why?"
Looking at Jian Xi’s serious face, Huang Ying frowned unhappily. "Without , how could you carry on with your plans? Don’t forget, Si Junyan’s peaceful sleep this ti was due to hypnosis. He will surely continue to reach out to to help him through difficult tis. If he suddenly can’t find , wouldn’t that raise suspicions?"
Jian Xi was speechless. She did have a point. But Jian Xi still didn’t want her to be in danger.
"The Secret Gate must be eliminated! It’s not for you, but because Song Xicheng’s dignity cannot be violated!" Huang Ying declared.
Jian Xi secretly admired her stubbornness.
"Okay, I’ll do my best to keep you safe."
Suddenly, a phone rang.
Jian Sirun’s cool voice ca through the phone. "Your fifth brother is awake."
Jian Xi was overjoyed. "Good! I’ll be right back."
Jian Xi stood full of anticipation in front of the Fuyuan Official Residence. As soon as she heard the news of her fifth brother’s awakening, she had hurried back and hadn’t even entered the house yet.
When Jian Yanjun appeared, she instantly rushed to him, her eyes welling with tears.
"Fifth Brother—"
"What a silly girl." Jian Yanjun hugged her tightly. "Let’s go inside."
Si Yuhuan heard the news and ca in person with a generous gift.
"Fifth Brother, if it weren’t for you taking that bullet for , I would be the one lying in the hospital bed. These gifts cannot fully convey my gratitude. I know you ace pilots need money, so here’s one billion. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation."
Si Yuhuan genuinely wanted to thank Jian Yanjun. After pondering, it seed that besides money, he had little else to offer.
"That’s enough. I can’t use these things; put them away." Jian Yanjun scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "If you truly want to thank for saving you, just rember to treat my little sister better."
"Bro! We’re divorced!"
"Oh, right! You’re divorced! Well, in that case, no need for gratitude. I did it willingly!" Jian Yanjun scratched his head awkwardly. His rough face, pale and tinged with a sickly cyan after his ordeal, showed his embarrassnt.
Jian Xi vowed, "Fifth Brother, you just focus on recovering. Leave everything to us. For the injuries you’ve suffered, I’ll make them pay back tenfold, a hundredfold!"
