Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife-Chapter 622 - 623: Emptiness

Shi Lingyan narrowed his eyes.

Shi Mei then picked up where he left off, saying, "Suspicious? Is Bai Zhengyuan that leader, or are you suspecting Uncle Liu?"

"Both are possible, but based on the current situation, I think the likelihood of Uncle Liu being the one is greater," Gao Lian said earnestly. "For many years he has been by Bai Yuejie’s side as a butler. In the eyes of outsiders, he is almost inseparable from Bai Yuejie. People’s habitual thinking has already innocuously categorized him as harmless. This is his most significant blind eye technique. In fact, he often contacts the suspects we have recently trailed, and also disguises himself to secretly frequent high-class clubs."

Gao Lian’s words suddenly reminded Shi Mei of what Shi Lingyan had mentioned to her before about that Underground Assassin Organization.

It seemed that the organization had a particularly powerful individual, a Hypnotist.

And the two car accidents she and Shi Lingyan were involved in, the scenes they and others witnessed were different.

If Uncle Liu was the leader of the Underground mafia, then it’s likely that he could also be that person endowed with hypnotic skills.

And, of course, there’s no need to mention Uncle Liu and Bai Yuejie’s relationship.

Not father and daughter, yet their bond far exceeded that of a father-daughter relationship, even Bai Zhengyuan and Bai Yuejie did not share a connection as close as that of Uncle Liu and Bai Yuejie.

So, if their hypothesis were true, and Uncle Liu really was the leader of the assassin organization and possessed hypnotic skills, then it would entirely explain his motive for doing so.

Harming Tang Wu was naturally for the sake of allowing Bai Yuejie to survive. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

And targeting Shi Lingyan was likely because he wanted to silence someone, given the truly astonishing information Shi Lingyan had discovered recently.

In this way, it completely explained how Bai Yuejie, a person with a heart condition, had managed to bring Tang Wu to the brink of death and then destroy all evidence beyond recognition.

Shi Mei thought more and more deeply, and her brow furrowed further.

Shi Lingyan turned his face slightly, and upon seeing the expression on Shi Mei’s face, he also felt a tightening in his heart.

Reaching out, Shi Lingyan placed his hand on the back of hers.

Gao Lian continued, "Besides that, I’ve obtained quite a lot of evidence, but the most crucial piece of evidence is not yet fully in my grasp."

In fact, they had already sent an undercover agent deep into the enemy’s camp.

What they lacked now was nothing more than an opportunity.

"What do you need us to do?" Shi Lingyan asked.

"It’s simple, you just have to... ’find’ Meng Yue’s biological daughter."

-

Meng Yue had spent several days in a daze, and after arriving at Meng Guan’s house, she felt a bit embarrassed to see her sister-in-law bustling about. Wanting to find something to keep herself occupied, she took the opportunity when the sister-in-law was not around to tidy up the whole house.

She hadn’t done such chores for decades and felt a sense of unfamiliarity but at the same time an unprecedented fulfillment.

Yet, after the fulfillment faded and she stopped to rest, she was overwhelmed with a wave of unbearable emptiness that surged in her mind.

She was desperate to find something to do, but to her pitiful discovery, aside from trivial things, everything else seemed related to Bai Zhengyuan.

Decades of marriage couldn’t be without affection.

But it was also due to the decades of marital affection that she felt such deep hurt.
