Su Yan suddenly stopped. The people who came to mourn stared at her. That gaze made Su Yan’s hair stand on end.
“Don’t you like Shi Qing the most? Why did Shi Qing die to save you, but you’re alive and well now?” The person who spoke was Shi Qing’s father. He was very agitated and looked at Su Yan as if he wanted to skin her alive.
This was too much in line with a father’s love for his child.
However, this would be fake. Su Yan remembered that Shi Qing had told her that his father did not treat him well. Later on, he was turned into a figurehead by Shi Qing when he was in his prime, so how could he be so sad now?
He would be letting Shi Qing down if he didn’t jump up and release fireworks. In other words, could it be that Shi Qing was actually not dead yet?
With such knowledge, Su Yan’s heart relaxed a lot. Then, she calmed down and looked around, hoping to find any loopholes in the mourning hall.
She remembered that when she was chatting with Yun Yi yesterday, Yun Yi had said that all hypnosis was not perfect. In all the seemingly reasonable scenes, there was always one point that made people feel strange.
Just like the previous two times, only when she saw Shi Qing would she wake up.
However, she did not wake up when Shi Qing died in front of her this time. So what was the point this time?
Su Yan’s gaze swept across these people who had come to mourn. There were not many familiar faces. They were all crying very sadly. After looking at them for a long time, Su Yan realized that something was wrong. Not only were these people similar in appearance, but even the degree of their sorrow and the angle of their lips were the same. Was this also a limitation of hypnosis?
Su Yan searched for a long time, but she still did not find anything.
Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder on the horizon, but the sky was clear and bright, without any signs of rain.
——
When Shi Qing and Yun Yi found Su Yan, the sky was already dark. Su Yan was leaning against the rotten end of the building’s wall. It made Shi Qing’s heart ache when he saw the thin and helpless Su Yan leaning against the bare wall.
Before Shi Qing could walk over, he was stopped by Yun Yi. Following Yun Yi’s gaze, he saw a sloppy man sitting unsteadily at the side, looking like he was asleep.
However, the moment Yun Yi’s gaze met the man’s, the man suddenly jumped down from his seat and jumped in front of Shi Qing. He chuckled strangely. “You’re Shi Qing, the one who spoiled my fun time and time again? I really didn’t expect you to come.”
Shi Qing frowned as he looked at the thin and short man in front of him. It was hard to imagine that the leader of such a big human trafficking organization was actually such a… unknown person.
Shi Qing’s silence seemed to have angered the man. The man opened his mouth and said, “Didn’t you want to save Su Yan? Let me tell you, you can’t save her now. If we forcefully wake her up, she will be stupid for life.”
Probably using Su Yan’s stupidity as a threat, Shi Qing actually hesitated at that moment. His eyes were staring at Su Yan. Would something really happen?
Shi Qing did not know, but he did not dare to take the risk. Su Yan was his life. If something happened to her, he might not be able to live anymore.
Hearing this, Yun Yi held Shi Qing, who was obviously hesitating. “I don’t know if Xiao Xi will be stupid forever, but I can be sure that you’ll be stupid soon.”
The person didn’t seem to understand what Yun Yi meant. He was stunned and tilted his head to look at Yun Yi.
Yun Yi only sneered and said, “You’re lending your body to someone else now. Do you think you can escape unscathed? Do you know who you kidnapped? Do you know how long you have left to live?”
In just a few sentences, that person trembled and looked extremely uneasy.
“At this time, isn’t the real leader coming out to meet me?” Yun Yi curled his lips, looking extremely confident.
Shi Qing was not very sure how Yun Yi had discovered it, but he could only place his hopes on Yun Yi now. He hoped that Yun Yi could really force out the person behind the scenes and let Su Yan escape from the clutches of the devil.
That person wanted to say something, but after Yun Yi’s voice fell, his body suddenly started to tremble. His hands and feet curled up like he was having an epileptic fit, but after a while, there was no more movement.
Following that was an exasperated voice. An old man walked out from not far away. The old man was old and weak, and he was trembling. He felt like he could fall to pieces with just a step. When the old man saw Yun Yi, his eyebrows instantly stood up. “I knew it was you. It’s you, you traitor. Why did I have to choose you as my disciple back then?”
Yun Yi was not angry. He only replied with a faint smile, “Actually, I’m also thinking now. Back then, there were so many famous and promising old men. Why did I have to choose you? The heavens are really blind.”
“You! Sinful disciple!”
Yun Yi just let the old man scold him.. From time to time, he would nod, as if the person being scolded wasn’t him.
