Chapter 53: Things Were Getting More Interesting

But the truth was that Song Li Na really had met with disaster – Jiang Shi Yue saw it with her own eyes when she went to Song Li Na’s ward.

Song Li Na sat in a daze in the corner by the wall, not moving at all. She did not respond when Jiang Shi Yue spoke, and she showed no expression.

Her features were extremely still, without even the slightest ripple. Her lashes did not even tremble. Her eyes did not blink as they stared at the wall.

There was not a trace of human emotion in her eyes, like a dead pool of water.

Even when a breeze passed, she stayed the same.

There was no life in her.

Her whole person was the same – sitting there quietly, not moving. If not for her breathing and heartbeat, everyone would have thought she was already dead.

For the first time, Jiang Shi Yue felt truly stuck. She frowned and walked up to Song Li Na.

If she could not sense mental power on people’s bodies in this time-space…

Then right now, she could sense it clearly – this person in front of her truly had no mental power at all.

She was like a clay figurine. The shell was whole, but the inside had been completely hollowed out.

She was alive as a human, but she could no longer be called human.

Her consciousness and mental power had completely disappeared. Along with it, Shen Mo’s malice had vanished from her entirely.

Jiang Shi Yue even felt that if she touched her, she might shatter at any moment.

She turned her head to look at Fu Qing Han and spoke slowly, word by word. “This time, it might be hard to deal with.”

Fu Qing Han still looked at Jiang Shi Yue with a calm face. He only nodded slightly. “What exactly happened to her?”

“Someone took all the mental power from her body,” Jiang Shi Yue said simply, and she knew Fu Qing Han understood what she meant.

Fu Qing Han lowered his eyes. He spoke blandly, his voice still cold and clear. “During the time when Song Li Na had her accident, the surveillance was completely damaged. Who did this to her will be very hard to find.”

“I get it.” Jiang Shi Yue’s almond-shaped eyes carried a hint of confusion, but it quickly turned into a smile, because she felt things were getting more interesting. “Little Fu, can you investigate what happened to the Mu Family’s young master, Mu Yan, back then? I suspect the two are connected.”

After that, Jiang Shi Yue did not need to do anything herself. Mu Yan was abroad, and investigating him naturally had to be left to Fu Qing Han. She enjoyed the free time and went straight home.

But a storm waited for her at home.

When Jiang Meng Qing saw Jiang Shi Yue come in, he slammed the table. His body was weak, and when he hit the table hard, his features twisted as if it took all his strength just to steady his breathing.

He cursed directly, “Where have you been fooling around again?”

Jiang Shi Yue smiled, showing a pair of small dimples. She spoke with mild surprise. “Dad, you call going out normally in broad daylight ‘fooling around’? I just went shopping with a friend.”

Jiang Meng Qing’s face turned even uglier. Before he could speak, his phone suddenly rang. When he saw the caller, his unhappy expression instantly turned eager and flattering.

Jiang Shi Yue saw that fawning look clearly.

“Hello, Young Master Zhou. Yes, yes, yes, I understand. Shi Yue will definitely come tonight, don’t worry.” He smiled ingratiatingly, his voice careful, as if he was afraid of offending the person on the other end.

Jiang Meng Qing hung up. The flattering mask vanished in an instant and turned into a high-and-mighty look of disgust.
