Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 1497 - 315: The First Madam of the Nan Family
The hospital room was dead silent, as if Chiang Yu and Zhang Yufeng had turned to stone, even their breathing was faint.
After a long while, the pale-faced Chiang Yu swallowed hard, seemingly trying to regain some warmth.
"You’re saying... the mastermind behind all this is Nan Yang?" he asked again uncertainly.
An Yiqing nodded, her red lips tightly pressed, her pretty face cold.
"Could it be a mistake? Hasn’t Nan Yang always been very fond of Nan Tian? And at the last birthday banquet, didn’t he take a bullet for Old Master Nan, almost dying..." Chiang Yu tried to force a smile, attempting to defend Nan Yang. He wasn’t familiar with Nan Yang, but through Nan Tian and An Yiqing, Chiang Yu had interacted with Nan Yang a few times, and he just thought this young man was full of knowledge and a good talent. He had seen how Nan Yang and Nan Tian interacted and could not reconcile the cold-hearted tyrant who could throw his own sister to be bitten by wild dogs with such a genteel, polite man.
"I know what you’re thinking. Initially, I didn’t want to believe it either, which is why I investigated many clues before I had to face the reality. That Nan Yang, who cared for Nan Tian for more than a decade, is indeed the mastermind behind this!"
Even An Yiqing didn’t want to believe it at first. Previously, during a night visit to the Nan Family, she found a few photographs in a hidden compartment of Old Master Nan’s desk. The people in the photos were Nan Yang and Xu Fei, the general manager of the Nan Headquarters. The date of the photos was from a few years ago, seemingly taken when the two were studying abroad in Country Jin. At first glance, it just seemed like Nan Yang and Xu Fei had a good relationship. However, An Yiqing, who had studied psychology, noticed some subtle gestures from Xu Fei that revealed an underlying sense of awe and humility despite his easy camaraderie with Nan Yang.
Why would Old Master Nan put these photos of Nan Yang and Xu Fei in such a secretive place? Was it because at some point he discovered a flaw in Nan Yang, started investigating, and was then poisoned by Nan Yang, leading him to be bedridden?
The photos provided by Old Master Nan made An Yiqing slightly suspicious of Nan Yang, but out of friendship with Nan Tian, she didn’t want to doubt her good friend’s brother. However, when she covered half of Xu Fei’s handsome face, she had to admit that Xu Fei was Liu Bai, the masked man who appeared at the birthday banquet!
An Yiqing wouldn’t mistake it! And she definitely wouldn’t forget!
If Xu Fei was Liu Bai, then what role did Nan Yang play in recommending him to work at the Nan Headquarters?
It wasn’t until she saw the information collected by the Xuanqing Sect Shadow Hall Master, discovering that after the change of the Patriarch of the Nan Family, Xu Fei’s position not only remained unchanged but he still steadfastly held the position of general manager, that An Yiqing confirmed that Nan Yang was the mastermind behind the entire affair!
Relating to the reaction of the Madam of the Nan Family when mentioning Nan Yang during the night visit to the Nan Family, and the conversation she overheard between the Third of Nan Family and the Third Madam at Nan Headquarters, An Yiqing became even more certain of Nan Yang’s identity!
This man had been lurking in the Nan Family for more than a decade, swallowing his pride and acting like an invisible man, disguising himself as a caring, good brother, a dutiful grandson, deceiving Nan Tian, outsmarting the shrewd Old Master Nan, fooling everyone, all to one day capture everyone in the Nan Family in one fell swoop!
As for the unexpected incident at the last birthday banquet, it must have been arranged in advance by Nan Yang. He knew An Yiqing’s identity, so he spent a lot of effort getting close to her and then staged a self-sacrificing act at the birthday banquet. Whether for Nan Tian’s sake or Old Master Nan’s face, An Yiqing would do everything to save him!
He wasn’t reckless with his life; he dared to bet! If he won, he would gain Old Master Nan’s trust and obtain much important information; if he lost, at worst, he would just pay with his life!
What kind of intense hatred does one have to harbor in their heart to use their life as a stake?
An Yiqing sighed deeply, having to admit that Nan Yang was an outstanding gambler who saw the bigger picture. He held a good hand and was cold-hearted, unaffected by any emotions.
This was not a man, but a killing machine!
An Yiqing explained the entire sequence of events clearly. At this point, Chiang Yu had nothing more to say. He suppressed the continuous shiver in his heart and asked the last question in his heart.
