Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 836: You Can’t Escape 16

"When you struggle, the attacker’s strength may vary, so the knife wounds should be deep and shallow. It’s impossible for each stab to be about the same."

"But, the knife wounds on Lady Qing’s body are smooth and neat, even the depth is basically the same." Xia Yinian frowned.

"There is another possibility: if she was unconscious from medication and unable to struggle when stabbed, then the wounds might appear as you saw."

The Old Master gently reminded.

"Mmm," Xia Yinian nodded, "I know this too."

"However, I remember she said those kidnappers were perverse, they pried open her eyes and forced her to watch as they cut holes into her."

"So, this implies the knife wounds were made while she was conscious, hence her story seems irrational to me."

"But the injured person is herself, she shouldn’t be lying?" Xia Yinian really couldn’t figure it out.

"Grandpa, I haven’t mentioned it to anyone else, not even Uncle. You must remember to keep it a secret for me." Xia Yinian looked up at Feng Heng.

If the facts were not as she imagined, her guilt towards Wanqing would deepen, so when things are unclear, it’s better to let it be.

Her recent delve into medicine made her particularly attentive to the small details, and that’s why she found it increasingly strange.

Feng Heng nodded, looking thoughtful.

After a while, he softly spoke: "Truth serum is actually a poison, it can’t be without side effects on the body."

"I don’t let the children of my family use it, and they don’t dare to research in this area, but Young Master Yifan over there should have it."

Upon hearing Feng Yifan’s name, the girl sitting well on the chair showed a hint of discomfort.

"Has that brat been bothering you again these past two days?" The Old Master’s voice weighed heavier when speaking of Feng Yifan.

Xia Yinian pursed her lips, intending to shake her head when the Old Master’s voice sounded again.

"Don’t think of lying to Grandpa. Even if you don’t tell me, I know. You were living just fine in the main house, why move here?"

The girl met the old man’s gaze and blinked.

"Grandpa is really mighty! There’s nothing you can’t uncover. I’m fine; he just has a foul mouth, his words aren’t pleasant."

"Third Brother knows I’ve been doing research here these days, so to avoid disturbances from Young Master Yifan, he suggested I move here for two days until Grandpa returns."

"Unexpectedly, you returned so soon, and wasn’t I fine all along?"

Looking at this girl, the Old Master let out a deep breath.

Thankfully, nothing major happened.

His large hand unwittingly swiped past the outer pocket, although he felt no unusual texture, he still sensed he had touched that strand of hair.

If Nian Nian were truly his granddaughter, then she and Yifan would be siblings.

Recalling the first time he saw Nian Nian, his breath grew heavier.

If at that time that brat truly bullied Nian Nian, he’d be ashamed for life to face his Jing Chu and Ah Sui.

"Grandpa, don’t be mad! I’m truly okay." Seeing the old man’s expression, Xia Yinian grew more anxious than ever.

"Rest assured! Grandpa’s fine." The Old Master shook his head, fondly patting the girl’s head beside him.

"Glad to hear that." Xia Yinian let out a sigh of relief, "If it’s poison, I think it’s better to let it go."
