Chapter 1724: In His Eyes, There Can Only Be Me

The West Hall Master is actually talking about evidence with people?

Has he completely forgotten his own dark history of spreading rumors with his mouth wide open?

Xie Wanyi sneered.

He couldn't be bothered to argue with the West Hall Master, only saying: "When Li Moning resisted, she clutched strands of an adult male's hair in her hand; through DNA comparison, the real culprit can be found."

"Then I wish you success soon!"

"It will certainly be a success. When the time comes, whether we handle things officially or use private means... either will do."

While saying this, Xie Wanyi touched the metal ring on his finger.

Only then did he turn and leave.

Xu Nianxin knew that Xie Wanyi's final gesture was clearly meant to intimidate her!

She was terrified, tugged at the West Hall Master's sleeve, and cried out: "Dad..."

"Don't be afraid, daughter, with Dad here, I won't let him touch you!"

"But... what if he really finds those people?"

"That's simple, just send away the people who laid hands on Li Moning before!"

Xu Nianxin felt there was a risk in doing this, so she asked: "What if we are intercepted by Xie Wanyi on the way?"

"Then... dispose of them on the spot."

The West Hall Master said it lightly, not taking a few human lives to heart at all.

And Xu Nianxin actually agreed, saying: "This method is good! Once dead, they won't be able to open their mouths to speak! It's best to cremate them so that not even DNA can be extracted!"

Don't look at how Xu Nianxin is afraid of facing the dead; when it comes to deciding others' life and death, she doesn't hesitate at all.

Seeing his daughter pleased, the West Hall Master promised profusely: "Rest assured, Dad will definitely be able to handle it very cleanly!"

With this promise, Xu Nianxin felt a little more at ease.

But the next instant, she stomped her feet again and questioned him with dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say we were going to control Wanyi? But why do I feel like he is the one controlling us!"

"My good daughter, Dad is already planning it, you need to have some patience."

"I do have patience, but I'm afraid Wanyi doesn't!"

As she spoke, Xu Nianxin looked at the man on the ground.

It was that one glance that made Xu Nianxin turn her head in horror and urge: "Hurry up and drag this person away!"

The West Hall Master also felt it was bad luck and called for people immediately.

But after calling twice, he remembered that the people at the door had all been knocked down by Xie Wanyi...

In an instant, the West Hall Master's hatred for Xie Wanyi increased by a few points!

But then, thinking of his daughter who was deeply in love with him...

The West Hall Master did not understand.

He asked Xu Nianxin: "You see Xie Wanyi's ruthless side, aren't you afraid?"

Naturally, she was afraid.

But...

"I am not reconciled!"

"Not reconciled?"

"That's right! Wanyi also has a gentle side, yet he gave it to that woman Jiang Motian! Why! I am the one who loves him the most! I don't care, I will use every possible means to make his eyes see only me!!"

The more Xu Nianxin spoke, the crazier her expression became.

But this madness, in the final analysis, was just an obsession.

If it were usual times, the West Hall Master would have advised her a few words.

After all, there are so many men in the world; it is not worth wasting so much time and energy on one person.

But now, the West Hall Master had his own calculations.

So he did not negate Xu Nianxin, but instead said: "Dad will definitely make your wish come true."

Xu Nianxin did not know what the West Hall Master was thinking in his heart.

She only thought this was her father's indulgence once again.

So she lifted her head and said with a smile: "Thank you, Dad!"

The West Hall Master raised his hand and patted Xu Nianxin's head.

And then...

He called other subordinates to have them come as soon as possible to dispose of Zhang Xingxing's corpse.

On the other side—

The Li Family had already returned home from the Hospital.

Li Moning's body had not recovered well, and she was sent to her room to rest by Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue.

Jiang Motian and Li Xingyan were in the study, waiting for news from Xie Wanyi.

Time passed minute by minute.

Jiang Motian became increasingly restless.

By the end, she could no longer sit still and began pacing in the study.

Li Xingyan couldn't stand it and said: "Calm down."

"This isn't a question of being calm, but why is there still no result?"

Jiang Motian suddenly stopped her steps, braced her arms against the desk, and asked Li Xingyan on the other side of the desk nervously: "Could there be some accident?"

"Perhaps."

Jiang Motian gasped, then urged: "Then let's go take a look quickly!"

Li Xingyan was not in the slightest bit anxious, and even said, "It's this late already; whatever was going to happen has already happened, and going there now would be useless."

"But..."

Jiang Motian's words were interrupted by a knock at the door.

The servant opened the door and said, "Mr. Xie is here."

Finally, he had arrived!

Jiang Motian breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, she asked anxiously, "Is he injured?"

"No, he is perfectly fine."

Li Xingyan asked one more question: "Did he come back by himself?"

"Yes."

This answer caused both Li Xingyan and Jiang Motian's expressions to change.

It seemed the situation had changed!

In a short while, Xie Wanyi walked into the study.

Li Xingyan opened his mouth to ask first: "What about Zhang Xingxing?"

"He... committed suicide by taking poison."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Motian covered her lips.

Li Xingyan, meanwhile, frowned.

A moment later, he questioned him with dissatisfaction: "Wasn't it agreed that you would bring the person back? You didn't keep your word!"

"Because it was too fast..."

"What?"

"Zhang Xingxing hid the poison in his teeth; he had the intention to die."

Xie Wanyi had originally thought that if his movements were fast enough, he could stop him from taking the poison.

As it turned out, he was still one step too late.

This was his failure of duty, and he was prepared to bear all of Li Xingyan's accusations.

Li Xingyan was just about to unleash a wave of verbal abuse without using a single dirty word.

However, Jiang Motian pressed down on his wrist and shook her head gently.

Li Xingyan asked stiflingly, "He failed to fulfill his promise, can't I even talk about it?"

"Now is not the time for complaints; we must discuss the important matters first."

After saying this, Jiang Motian asked, "Is Zhang Xingxing really a member of Wuyou Hall?"

"To be precise, he counts as half a member of Wuyou Hall."

"Half? What does that mean?"

"Wuyou Hall is inherently an organization that cannot see the light of day; in order to complete missions, some members will raise their own forces. And such people are not registered within Wuyou Hall."

Jiang Motian thought for a moment and asked, "You mean to say that Zhang Xingxing was cultivated by one of the members?"

"Yes."

"Having the ability to raise one's own forces is not a simple matter... so, are there only a few people who can do that?"

"... Mm."

Jiang Motian slapped her palm down: "That makes things much easier; if we investigate them one by one, we will definitely be able to find a result."

Li Xingyan gave a light huff and joined the discussion: "The person behind the scenes likely accepts commissions to complete tasks. So even if we find the mastermind, we might not necessarily find the truth."

"Well, at least we have a target now."

After Jiang Motian finished speaking, she wanted to say something else to Xie Wanyi.

But when she turned her head, she discovered that Xie Wanyi had a contemplative look on his face.

Jiang Motian hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Wanyi, do you have any thoughts?"

"I... am having a bit of trouble understanding something."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
