Chapter 57: Discovering the Truth

Su Xiyan ultimately still couldn't find decisive evidence, but from the clues currently available.

The bottle of wine that drove Zhang Chengye mad was very likely brought in by himself.

And the original target of that bottle of wine was very likely her!

Thinking of this, Su Xiyan's heart filled with anger.

That damned Zhang Chengye, ending up like this, serves him right!

She couldn't be bothered to waste more time investigating who harmed him; after all, it's just dogs biting dogs.

But, Su Xiyan suddenly frowned,

This bottle of wine was brought by Zhang Chengye, but now not only he drank it, Yan Moci also drank it.

And during this period, the person who came into contact with both of them, and who is on bad terms with both of them,

then only,

Yan Fanqing!

Plus, Liu Huanyu has lived in the old residence for several years, so knowing about the surveillance shouldn't be strange!

Although she currently has no evidence to prove that Yan Fanqing did it, Su Xiyan still looks solemn.

This matter is definitely related to Yan Fanqing; she must tell Yan Moci!

Su Xiyan hurried back to her room,

"Click"

As soon as she pushed the door open, she suddenly thought of something, and she muttered guiltily:

"Oh no, I forgot."

She turned her head and wanted to run out the door.

But unexpectedly, she was already grabbed by someone and dragged inside.

"Click"

As the door was shut, Su Xiyan, suddenly plunged into darkness, could see nothing and could only instinctively press herself against the nearby source of heat.

"Forgot what? Hmm?"

Yan Moci's bewitching voice sounded, and the Su Xiyan who had just gotten close jumped back violently and pressed herself tightly against the door panel.

In the darkness, Yan Moci's eyes, bright as stars, fixed tightly on Su Xiyan, with a faint fire of anger burning within.

He let out a cold snort and said hoarsely:

"Heh, now you know fear?"

Su Xiyan lifted her head, looking righteous, and corrected: "I'm not afraid! At most I'm just a little guilty!"

Yan Moci couldn't help but let out another cold snort: "Heh, Su Xiyan, you're really something."

Su Xiyan nodded: "Mm, I've always been capable."

Sensing Yan Moci's sudden approach filled with aggressive aura, Su Xiyan nervously clung to the door panel,

"You! You, if you have something to say, say it properly, don't just get this close all the time!

Otherwise I'll shout! Then everyone in the old residence will know you're awake!"

Yan Moci curled the corner of his mouth, gave a cold laugh, his eyes already brimming with endless indulgence and amusement: "Go ahead and shout, it's just what I want."

Having said that, in Su Xiyan's shocked pupils, Yan Moci hesitated not, rose and approached, instantly launching an offensive, leaving Su Xiyan no choice but to soften and cling helplessly to his body.

Su Xiyan sobbed: "Yan Moci, I stripped you naked and put you in cold water to lower your temperature quickly, and tied you up for fear you'd go mad and run out to scare people.

I've been outside investigating today's affairs; I didn't deliberately come back late to make you soak in cold water!

I've already used silver needles on you; you're fine now, you can't bully me like this."

Yan Moci smiled bewitchingly, his lazy closeness to Su Xiyan making her ear tip red as if about to bleed: "But what can I do, I just want to do this.

Every time I see you, clearly a fierce little tiger in front of outsiders, but in front of me a obedient little kitten that only mews, I can't help but want to bully you.

Yan Yan, my good girl.

If you get distracted at this moment, I will indeed punish you."

Su Xiyan really couldn't withstand Yan Moci's current appearance; his gorgeous face to the extreme bore a wanton smile, and the indulgence in his eyes seemed about to drown her.

But this time, before Su Xiyan was about to be bewitched by him, he stopped at the right point and retreated.

Seeing Su Xiyan sigh in relief while her eyes still held a hint of haze and confusion, Yan Moci couldn't help but chuckle,

"I won't tease you anymore."

Not teasing you anymore, because I like you, wanting to cherish and respect you more.

So, I won't be rude to you as before.

Yan Moci firmly thought in his heart.

After pulling back to a safe distance, Su Xiyan finally regained normal thought, and she could finally ask the question she most wanted to know,

"Yan Moci, who exactly drugged you today?"

Yan Moci shook his head: "I don't know either."

Su Xiyan frowned: "How could that be?"

Yan Moci: "When Zhang Chengye just had his accident, there were all sorts of people around, and someone took advantage of the chaos to push medicine on me."

Su Xiyan exclaimed: "You said 'pushed medicine'? So you didn't drink wine!"

Su Xiyan calmed down: "That makes sense; for a vegetative person like you, pouring alcohol would actually be quite difficult.

So that means this person also prepared in advance!"

Yan Moci nodded: "However, although I can't be certain exactly who it is, I already have a rough idea of the person in my heart.

"Rest assured, I will have someone handle this matter."

Su Xiyan said solemnly: "Actually, after re-investigating today's affairs, I also have a rough guess in my heart as to who is behind all this."

Seeing Su Xiyan's serious look, as if her whole person was glowing, Yan Moci couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.

He said, "Why don't we speak up together and see if we're thinking of the same person?"

Su Xiyan and Yan Moci exchanged a tacit glance.

They both said:

"Yan Fanqing!"

After speaking, they both simultaneously smiled.

Su Xiyan further speculated, "You say, could it be that the poison in your body when I first arrived was also given to you by him?"

Yan Moci narrowed his eyes dangerously, "It's still uncertain; many things happened during these years I was unconscious."

Over these years, both Yan Fanqing and Yan Zixin have disguised themselves extremely well; wanting to expose their flaws at once is not that simple.

Su Xiyan nodded in understanding, but soon she worriedly said:

"But Yan Moci, that thing in your mind can't be delayed for long."

Hearing Su Xiyan's concern, Yan Moci felt warm-hearted; he gave a soft laugh without words, and his usually cold brows and eyes now looked gentle and full of youthful vigor.

This made Su Xiyan stare in surprise.

"Yan Yan, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll feel like you're inviting me."

Noticing Su Xiyan's gaze, Yan Moci turned his head and focused his eyes on her.

Su Xiyan instantly pulled back her gaze in panic, causing Yan Moci to chuckle lightly again.

He's clearly such a gentle person—how did the outside world ever spread rumors making him out to be like this?

Just as Su Xiyan was feeling puzzled,

she suddenly heard,

"By the way, what's the deal with the white angelica you and Rong Shengtian talked about today?"

Oh no....

Su Xiyan instantly perked up, turning her head to see Yan Moci's probing gaze.

Su Xiyan tried to bluff her way through, letting out a laugh,

"White angelica, a herb in traditional Chinese medicine. Pungent in taste, warm in nature."

"It has the effects of relieving exterior symptoms and dispelling cold, dispelling wind and alleviating pain, clearing nasal passages, drying dampness and stopping discharge, reducing swelling and expelling pus, dispelling wind and stopping itch."

After hearing Su Xiyan's words, Yan Moci's eyes narrowed dangerously.

He wickedly curled the corner of his mouth.

"Yan Yan, do you think I'm an idiot?"
