His bewitching eyes shimmer with strange radiance, a hint of scarlet emerges from within.
“I’ve examined all the surveillance videos after we left the Yujing Villa, and indeed, somebody has tampered with them. Quite a few timeframes have been edited from the surveillance footage,” said Yao, standing in front of him, regally.
“I also found this in the warehouse,” Yao held up his hand, and immediately a large mirror and a cut-out picture were brought in.
“An investigation revealed that this was used to scare the young mistress two days before our return. Many in the villa went out to investigate at the time, but for some reason, the butler didn’t report it.”
“Moreover, according to the servants in the villa, since Mr. Jie left, the young mistress has had nightmares almost every day, appearing distracted. All of these incidents are somehow linked to a particular plant.”
Yao held a cut-off flower in his hand, the floral calyx at the end of the stem was rather beautiful, resembling any regular ornamental plant.
“This flower is known as Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Flower, a species of bindweed. It is originally from the tropical region of America, and its seeds have been used as hallucinogens in Mexico for hundreds of years. The Aztecs call it ‘tlitlitzin’, meaning ‘black’.”
Yao paused for a moment.
“This plant’s stem and buds present no harm ordinarily, but its seeds do hold a palpable hallucinogenic effect. Add just a pinch of it to someone’s daily drink or food and it can mess up their psychological state. A pot of this was put in the young lady’s room. However, it was destroyed by Da Bai the day we returned.”
Upon hearing his name, Da Bai stretched his paws, yawned, poked his head out from underneath the table, glancing at Yao, before pulling his head back haughtily, and continued to lay down.
Feeling down without seeing Qin Youxuan, even Da Bai seemed sullen.
“Allegedly, many of the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Flowers that were originally planted in the yard were damaged by Da Bai. His appreciation was evident in his tone.
They had, it seemed, underrated this snow wolf.
Even though Da Bai was still young, as a top predator, its innate keenness is not to be dismissed.
If it hadn’t been for him, many problems would perhaps have taken some time to be discovered.
“Is everything clear now?”
Dan Hanjie listened quietly, his face betrayed little emotion. His bewitching eyes shimmered with anything but ordinary calmness.
His charm became more and more irresistible.
“All allegations have been verified, so that he won’t be wronged, and we have found some communication records,” said Yao, stepping forward and placing the printed telephone list on the desk.
“Mr. Jie, our whereabouts were compromised from the very beginning, which led to the subsequent assassination attempts, not only this time but also in Extreme Love Island.”
Dan Hanjie let out a sinister smile, his thin lips slightly open, forming a terrifying curve.
“He has already been brought outside,” said Yao, beckoning with his hand, and immediately the butler was brought in and made to kneel on the ground.
The butler was bound tightly and could not resist. Nor did he seem to intend to, as he calmly kneeled there.
“What’s your reason?”
With his long fingers tapping on the table, Dan Hanjie swept a cold glance over the people in front of him. His sharp eyes reflected a hint of light, a blood-thirsty light.
