Now, however, he felt a question mark should be placed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Blood Curse on him and the threatened short lifespan were a scheme from the start, a trap to push him into the Bureau, then that person absolutely wasn’t dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he would fake his death instead of staying by his side to occasionally influence him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s certainly not because the person developed feelings for him over time and was unwilling to exploit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be because this person knew he could easily deceive him before he was ten years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after he showed intelligence and learned strategy post-ten, the person felt threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to stay around would inevitably reveal flaws; leaving early would likely prolong the time before his plans would be uncovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, Xie Xuzhi suddenly laughed at himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think, now that I’m living well, that person is hopping mad?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know if they’re hopping mad, but I’ve now thought of a good way to lure those people out; are you willing to cooperate with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Xuzhi noted that Yun Ran was still very diligent, even able to quickly conceive a plan at this instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder she could be a partner with him—the cooler one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately restrained the three parts irony, three parts aloofness, and four parts casualness on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s hear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Ran immediately began to unleash her persuasive tongue, starting to lobby Xie Xuzhi to act as bait for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know, if you were just a minor character, nobody would fix their sights on you.
