Chapter 1725: A Knack for Charming Women

Xie Wanyi raised his eyes and continued, "If a normal mission fails, one just accepts the punishment; it doesn't mean one has to die."

Li Xingyan felt this was not hard to understand, and he said, "They must be afraid of their identities being exposed."

"But it was just approaching a wealthy young lady; if it failed, at worst they would suffer some physical pain, but they could at least keep their lives. Why prepare a lethal poison in advance?"

This...

Li Xingyan thought for a moment, then followed Xie Wanyi's line of reasoning to make an inference: "He had other missions on him that he hadn't had time to carry out yet."

If that were truly the case, then the remaining missions would be the most important of all.

And Jiang Motian was merely a medium.

Perhaps the Li Family behind her was the ultimate target of these people!

Li Xingyan tensed up because of the conjecture in his heart.

The moment he raised his eyes, he happened to meet Xie Wanyi's gaze.

Although Li Xingyan could not stand Xie Wanyi.

This eye contact let him know that the two of them had reached the same conclusion!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the study became tense.

Jiang Motian could feel this tension.

But she did not know why.

She looked at Xie Wanyi, then looked at Li Xingyan.

Then she asked cautiously, "Why have you two suddenly stopped talking?"

Xie Wanyi and Li Xingyan each withdrew their gazes.

Afterward, Xie Wanyi spoke first: "You two should first think about whether the Li Family has any enemies."

Enemies...

Jiang Motian realized something.

She became nervous involuntarily and asked, "Do you mean that the person who planned everything has a grudge against our Li Family?"

"Yes, without deep hatred, they wouldn't risk their lives. Perhaps in places you haven't seen, there are other arrangements."

After hearing this, Jiang Motian became even

more nervous.

She turned her head to look at Li Xingyan and asked, "Brother, what do you think?"

"What else can I think? First, conduct an internal audit, then strengthen security measures, and at the same time, hurry up and investigate the mastermind behind the scenes."

As Li Xingyan said this, he raised his hand and rubbed his face.

He could foresee that there would be a huge amount of work to do recently.

The pressure would also be immense.

But he could not retreat; he had to solve all the problems perfectly!

The anxious Li Xingyan had even started planning in his heart.

And his performance surprised Jiang Motian.

Her brother, the brother who was at odds with Xie Wanyi, had actually accepted Xie Wanyi's words!

And he accepted them without the slightest hesitation.

This had never happened before!

Jiang Motian found it inconceivable.

Subsequently...

She suddenly thought of one thing.

This matter made her clench her fists involuntarily, and she asked Xie Wanyi, "Where is the real Xiaoshi?"

"Zhang Xingxing didn't say, but to be used by them so unscrupulously, it is nine times out of ten already..."

Xie Wanyi did not finish his sentence, but Jiang Motian understood what he meant.

In fact, Jiang Motian had a premonition herself.

She just... did not want to face it.

Jiang Motian closed her eyes.

Then she smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn't made such a big fuss looking for him, would he have been able to live out his life peacefully?"

As soon as Xie Wanyi heard this, he knew Jiang Motian was blaming herself.

But he felt Jiang Motian had done nothing wrong, so he comforted her: "You wanted to repay Xiaoshi, that was not wrong. The ones who are truly wrong are those hiding in the shadows, plotting against you!"

Jiang Motian knew that Xie Wanyi made sense.

But she still felt miserable.

Thinking of the past, her eyes dimmed a little more.

Then she murmured, "Why do I

always bring misfortune to the friends around me?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Look at me, am I not fine? Wei Yangyang is also doing well! The one who truly brings disaster is fate. Or are you saying you think you can control fate?"

Xie Wanyi did not approve of Jiang Motian's words at all, so he denied her with a serious face.

As for the question he finally raised...

Jiang Motian shook her head honestly.

"So, don't say things like who is implicating whom again. You must remember, you are truly a good person!"

Xie Wanyi's evaluation was very sincere.

So sincere that...

Jiang Motian's face turned red.

It was truly strange; clearly, the other person hadn't said anything, so why was she blushing?!

Jiang Motian felt irritable and annoyed.

In order to return her complexion to normal, Jiang Motian decided to shift her focus.

But just as her eyes darted about, she discovered... Li Xingyan was looking at her!

Oh no, she had forgotten that her brother was there too!

This discovery made Jiang Motian instantly calm down.

Her face was no longer red either.

It was just that...

The awkwardness had doubled!

Jiang Motian made a decision: from now on, she would remain silent and be an invisible person!

Li Xingyan saw his younger sister's awkward appearance in his eyes.

He then shifted his gaze to look at Xie Wanyi.

This guy, however, remained calm as ever.

So, he had managed to disturb a young lady's heart without making a sound!

If this had happened to someone else, Li Xingyan might have praised him for having good methods.

But since it happened to his own sister...

He just wanted to beat someone up!

Li Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly, then said irritably, "You certainly have a way with dealing with my sister."

"I am not dealing with her, but comforting her."

"Hmph, flowery words!"

After Li Xingyan finished his snide remark, his phone rang.

He took a look, then began

to reply to the message.

Xie Wanyi knew that Li Xingyan would definitely have to make various arrangements and investigations next.

If he continued to stay, it would be inconvenient for them.

Therefore, Xie Wanyi said, "You two go ahead and get busy; I'll head back first."

Jiang Motian had been pretending that she could turn invisible.

But as soon as she heard Xie Wanyi was leaving, she didn't even have time to react before she opened her mouth and said, "I'll see you to the door!"

Jiang Motian's behavior made Li Xingyan really want to roll his eyes!

But he restrained himself.

He even tried to use a calm voice as he said, "It's not his first time here; he can find his own way, you don't need to see him out."

"No, I want to see him out."

Jiang Motian was not consulting Li Xingyan, but had made a decision.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took Xie Wanyi and left the study together.

And in a place where no one could see...

Li Xingyan finally rolled his eyes in a big way!

He just found it very strange; Jiang Motian was clearly knowledgeable and experienced, so why was it that whenever she encountered Xie Wanyi...

she wasn't reserved at all?

And what Li Xingyan didn't know was that Jiang Motian was already trying hard to be reserved.

At this moment, she was reservedly chatting with Xie Wanyi as they walked:

"For this matter, I have to thank you; if it weren't for the plan you came up with, we wouldn't have been able to lure the prey into the trap so quickly."

"No need to thank me; your business is my business."

Xie Wanyi's casual remark, however, made Jiang Motian's heartstrings tug gently once again.

Fortunately, this time, she controlled her heartbeat and did not let her face turn into a red apple.

Pursing her lips, Jiang Motian changed the subject: "Are the missions you carried out in the past all this perilous?"

"Not really; most of the missions I receive are to steal information, and it's very likely the other party

doesn't even know what happened before my mission is already completed."
