Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 835: You Can’t Escape 15

"Hmm." The Old Master nodded, not denying it.

"There was a white hair among your jet-black locks that was an eyesore, so I plucked it out, but didn’t expect it to wake you up." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Old Master raised the corners of his mouth in a slight smile.

"No problem, I’ve slept enough. I was thinking of washing my face; keep an eye on the instrument," Xia Yinian said, instructing the Old Master.

However, she actually had white hair. How did she not know?

At only eighteen, how could she have white hair? Could it be that she’s really been too tired these days?

"Go ahead, nothing will happen with me here." The Old Master waved his hand.

Xia Yinian nodded and stepped away.

"Understood, I’ll be right back."

The room was right next door, and Xia Yinian returned quickly.

Seeing the instrument hadn’t finished operating, she looked at the Old Master and lightly pressed her lips together.

"Grandpa, do you have any particularly effective truth serum?"

"Truth serum?" The Old Master met her gaze, furrowing his brow, "Nian Nian, are you in trouble?"

Xia Yinian meditated for a while, then pulled up a chair to sit next to him.

"Yu Jiaqing is currently staying at the Feng Family, do you know that, Grandpa?"

"Hmm, Ah Yen mentioned it to me." The Old Master nodded.

"She was kidnapped that day, suffered many injuries, and the kidnappers are still detained at the back mountain. Even Uncle and Third Young Master couldn’t get anything out."

Maybe it’s because Uncle and Third Young Master are too busy to handle this matter, Xia Yinian wasn’t sure.

"I’ve been pondering this issue lately. If there was a medicine that didn’t harm the body and could make the criminal speak the truth, wouldn’t that be wonderful?"

"But if there really was such a miraculous medicine, then perhaps there wouldn’t be anyone daring to lie in this world, right?" She pressed her lips together, looking at the elder beside her.

Xia Yinian’s expression didn’t look particularly unusual, but in truth, she really wanted to do something.

Initially, she just wanted to help Uncle and Third Young Master a little, maybe even for herself.

But after thinking it over carefully, she felt it wasn’t just about lightening their burdens.

"Nian Nian, do you feel there’s another conspiracy behind the kidnapping?" The Old Master seemed to see through her thoughts.

Xia Yinian lightly pressed her lips, nodding, then shaking her head.

"I’m not quite sure, just certain things don’t make sense. If possible, I want to figure it out."

Yu Wanqing ended up like this because of herself; she shouldn’t be suspicious.

Nonetheless, the knife wounds on her body were very peculiar and completely defied logic.

These things, Xia Yinian didn’t dare mention even to Gu Beicheng, because she genuinely thought it was unlikely.

Why would Yu Wanqing orchestrate this on purpose? If it was just to make Uncle care, she was too crazy.

"There’s only Grandpa here. Nian Nian, if there’s anything on your mind, just speak up." The Old Master’s voice rang out once more.

Xia Yinian pressed her lips, stood up, and went to fetch a small knife.

She returned to sit beside the Old Master, gesturing the knife on her arm.

"Nian Nian, what are you going to do?" The Old Master showed some anxious expression.

"Nothing." Xia Yinian lifted her eyes to glance at the Old Master, then withdrew her gaze to her own arm.

"Lady Qing’s knife wounds were treated by me with medicine, but I found something odd."

After thinking, she added, "Normally, when a person is stabbed, they will surely struggle."
