What on earth is the structure of their brains?
[Exactly!] The system spoke eagerly: [These two little fools have been brainwashed without realizing it.]
Jiang Ning momentarily wondered if she had misheard.
[That’s right. Huo Miao previously sought out a master for further training, and she has more or less manipulated the Huo family Members with psychological techniques, it’s just that these two brothers have been influenced significantly, becoming somewhat lost in themselves.] The system sent the recently gathered information for Jiang Ning to see.
After Jiang Ning looked through it, her eyes deepened, unexpectedly discovering that Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian were brainwashed by Huo Miao, and that it was related to her.
Jiang Ning remembered that when she was first brought back by the Huo family Members, she actually held great goodwill and expectations towards them.
She even did numerous things to actively please the Huo family Members despite knowing they had some disapproval towards her.
At that time, she wholeheartedly wanted to repair the familial ties that had been missing for so many years between her and the Huo family Members.
And initially, her methods were effective. During that period, not only did the attitude of Huo Song and his wife, but also that of the Huo Family brothers, slightly soften towards her.
Until Huo Miao cried once, the attitude of the Huo family Members towards her rapidly shifted, dropping to the freezing point, never melting again.
Previously, Jiang Ning always thought that the Huo family Members couldn’t bear to see Huo Miao sad, so they decisively chose Huo Miao over her.
It wasn’t until now, upon seeing the information provided by the system, that Jiang Ning instantly understood that the change in the Huo family Members’ attitude towards her wasn’t solely due to Huo Miao’s tearful incident.
Instead, it was that Huo Miao had exerted mental control over the Huo family Members.
Ever since knowing she wasn’t one of the Huo Family, Huo Miao felt a sense of crisis within, although she didn’t show it at the time, choosing instead to secretly seek a solution.
Until Jiang Ning returned to the Huo Family, and the Huo family Members’ attitude towards Jiang Ning slowly began to change, Huo Miao knew that if she didn’t act soon, she might be kicked out of the Huo Family. So, she spent a fortune to bring in a very skilled hypnotist from abroad.
At that time, although the Huo family Members’ attitude towards Jiang Ning had somewhat relaxed, they were closer to Huo Miao, whom they had watched grow up since childhood.
Utilizing the Huo family Members’ trust, Huo Miao easily found suitable hypnotic moments, having the hypnotist hypnotize each of the Huo family Members.
What Huo Miao instructed the hypnotist to do was nothing more than to enhance the Huo family Members’ affection for her, while also making them subconsciously dislike and reject Jiang Ning more.
It could be said that Huo Miao was fortunate; the hypnotist wasn’t a charlatan from the streets but genuinely skilled.
The Huo family Members were successfully hypnotized.
However, Huo Song and his wife and Huo Li, their willpower was relatively steadfast, or rather, in their hearts, while the daughter/sister Huo Miao might be important, money and status were even more crucial, thus they weren’t completely hypnotized.
The other Huo Family brothers, their willpower was far less resolute than Huo Li, successfully brainwashed by the hypnotist, following Huo Miao’s lead.
Huo Ziheng was also successfully brainwashed. If it weren’t for Huo Miao personally pushing him during that variety show, causing him to "die" once, he wouldn’t have awakened from the hypnosis so easily.
Such an opportunity as Huo Ziheng had isn’t something everyone can experience, naturally, Huo Kaiping and Huo Kaian are still under hypnotic control, not waking up.
Even though Huo Miao engaged in lecherous acts with their father, they remain dazed, standing by Huo Miao’s side.
After Jiang Ning finished reading, she frowned slightly: "Who is that hypnotist?"
[Host, do you want to catch him?] The system provided the hypnotist’s information, saying: [He’s currently abroad, capturing him would be quite difficult.]
