Mi Wei parted his lips. “You know the facts. She’s already dead.”

Shangguan Hou sat up on the lounge chair as he looked at Mi Wei. “In the past, I might have believed what you said, but not anymore.”

He raised his hand and waved it.

Shangguan Hou knew the Shangguan clan had excellent physicians.

If they wanted to save the woman, it was easy for them.

Mi Wei could not tell for certain if Shangguan Hou had genuinely found Shangguan Yu. Perhaps Shangguan Hou was just waiting for Mi Wei to slip up and tell him more than he intended.

All these days, Shangguan Hou kept trying to squeeze the truth out of Mi Wei.

Shangguan Hou accurately read Mi Wei’s mind. He spoke candidly and shared his observations about Yuan Huan. “Other than Shangguan Yu, no one else could have made the man lose his mind with just one silver needle, right?”

Shangguan Hou suspected that Shangguan Yu was behind Yuan Huan’s condition. Now, he was certain it was her.

Mi Wei realized that even Shangguan Hou was unsure if she was alive. He went quiet briefly and said, “Sometimes it’s impossible to control life. We only possessed half of the eight trigrams. Even if we tried to change Yu’s fate, it probably did not work out.”

The Shangguan clan was a very special family and had the power to do the unthinkable, but a lot of conditions had to be satisfied in order to succeed. Otherwise, they would have to pay a steep price.

Shangguan Hou also knew that the family did not possess the complete set of eight trigrams, so he believed that Shangguan Yu was probably dead. This went on until last year when people started asking about Shangguan Yu online.

After all, if Shangguan Yu did not surface unexpectedly, no one would search high and low for a dead person.

“No matter what you say, you can’t hide the fact that she’s alive.” Shangguan Hou touched his face with a sinister look in his eyes.

If he could find Shangguan Yu, he no longer had to live like this.

Mi Wei parted his lips wanting to speak, but Shangguan Hou stood up and walked over to the bedside. He retrieved a pill from his pocket and forced Mi Wei to take it. He laughed softly and said, “You should consider yourself lucky that you’re in my hands. If you had fallen into someone else’s hands, I’m sure things won’t end well for you.”

Mi Wei glared at Shangguan Hou angrily. “You traitor! You will come to no good end.”

“Oh really?” Shangguan Hou crushed the empty beer can in his hand mockingly. “In that case, let’s wait and see which one of us will come to no good end.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he turned to leave the room.

Mi Wei sighed softly looking at the door. He could sense himself losing focus owing to the pill.

Mi Wei thought about his deceased family ancestors and wondered if he would end up dying just like them the next time he opened his eyes.

None of them came to any good end. This fate it seemed to run in the Shangguan clan.

Before long, three days had passed.

Fan Shun’s assistant came back after investigating the situation. Even though he only came with a small amount of intel, it said a lot.

“What do you mean she’s from the Huo family?” Fan Shun frowned the moment he saw the investigation report. He looked at his assistant and asked quizzically. “Are you sure?”

The assistant shook his head and replied solemnly. “It’s true. She’s the girl who got Yuan Huan into trouble. She’s Huo Yulin’s little sister and comes from a powerful family, so she’s capable of anything.”
