Recently, everyone in the Kyoto social circle is buzzing about one thing: it is said that the long-lost daughter of the Su family, one of the four major wealthy families, has returned.
Some p...
“No problem, I’ll go back and discuss it with my father, and then we’ll spread the news.”
Anxia took the lead and spoke.
"Me too, there are so many people in my family."
Gu Baibai, not wanting to be outdone, chimed in.
“Then I’ll go back and tell my grandpa too.”
Lu Yichen spoke after a long pause. He had been processing this matter for a long time. Unlike An Xia and Gu Baibai, he knew that if this plan succeeded, it would have far-reaching consequences. Not to mention anything else, how could so many people have secretly entered China without being discovered or questioned?
This is clearly not normal.
Furthermore, Chinese civil regulations prohibit the operation of venues related to gambling, and fighting arenas are also a form of gambling. Yet they have continued to operate and are growing stronger. Could there be something fishy going on here?
Although he didn't understand political intrigue, he knew that someone must have embezzled money, and not just one person, otherwise such a large oversight wouldn't have occurred.
Are these things really only being discovered now?
Or is it that some people have even more powerful figures protecting them, which is why they are fearless and impunity? And what about the missing white tablets from the lab? Is it really that simple? Is there some conspiracy behind it all? After all, Lu Yichen was born into one of the eight great families. He's seen far too much intrigue and framing. Even his own Lu family has witnessed countless instances of such things.
"Lu Yichen, don't say anything yet. I reckon when you get home tonight, Old Master Lu will tell you about this."
"good."
Hearing what Sister Ya said, Lu Yichen felt that this matter was even more serious, as even his grandfather had been alarmed. You know, the eight great families haven't been involved in these kinds of things for a long time.
"Then we'll split up. Be careful on your way back."
"Don't worry, Sister Ya, Li Zhenfeng and I will take care of sending them all back one by one."
Lu Yichen said.
"I stayed."
He Zixin suddenly said.
Lu Yichen didn't understand what was wrong with He Zixin.
"I don't like you, so why can't I ask you to take me home?"
"Fine, Miss He, whatever makes you happy. If you want me to deliver it, I don't want to anymore."
Lu Yichen was so angry that he said one sentence and left.
Seeing that everyone else had left.
He Zixin then said, "Speak, what do you want to see me about?"
"Are you Ji Ziming's cousin?"
Suya said.
He Zixin's eyes widened suddenly upon hearing this. "How did you know?"
There is nothing in this world that I cannot find out.
After Su Ya finished speaking, she pulled up a chair and sat down.
"I hate it so much. Why did she have to be Ji Ziming's cousin? You know my cousin, he's never been a good person since he was little. He's a really tough guy."
Like a floodgate opened, He Zixin poured out all the things Ji Ziming had done to her in the past. Heaven knows how many years she had kept these things bottled up inside. For so many years, she hadn't dared to tell anyone. She had kept them buried deep inside.
Su Ya didn't interrupt her, but waited until she finished speaking before handing her a glass of water. "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
"I feel so good now. You have no idea how many years I've been holding this in. But I haven't dared to tell a single person in my family."
"Now that I'm happy, tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Is your family skilled in psychologists? Or can you not really call them psychologists?"
"You even know this?"
"I told you, there is no secret in this world that I don't know."
"No wonder. When I first met you, I could tell what you were thinking. But after a few days, I found that when I looked at you again, there was always a white fog blocking your view, and I couldn't see anything. Just like you, my friend, I can only see a white fog. I can usually see what people are thinking, but I can't see the two of you. But over the years, I've stopped trying to guess what other people are thinking. It's just too boring."
"So, that's why you're friends with An Xia and Gu Baibai, right?"
Suya said.
"Yeah, they're both a bit silly and very straightforward. Sometimes they're quite cute. They never beat around the bush. It's not tiring to deal with people like that. You don't have to think about what they're thinking."
Are there still many people in our line of work?
"There aren't many left, and in our family, talent plays a role too. My eldest and second eldest brothers weren't born with any talent, so this task fell to me. But thankfully, I can now control whether I want to listen or not. When I'm annoyed, I just go to sleep. That way, I don't have to listen to what they're scheming about."
Suya knew she had guessed correctly.
From the first moment He Zixin saw her, she felt a sense of déjà vu; she felt that she understood her.
But Suya couldn't understand why a stranger could understand another stranger.
Unless there's one possibility, she can guess what she's thinking.
So Suya searched for ancient Chinese books and found in a very old book that this was called mind reading. It was not the mind reading that people know today, but a true one that had been passed down from ancient times. Only one family knew it, and they regarded this skill as a natural talent.
When a baby is born, the family begins to test whether the baby has any talents; if not, the baby is discarded.
For some unknown reason, only one person in each generation of that family has this talent, while the others are ordinary people. It is because of this special ability that they have been able to survive generation after generation and have not been wiped out until now.
However, they generally do not reveal this skill. The mind-reading abilities that are currently circulating outside are actually deceptive because these people are more accurately perceiving a person's true inner thoughts.
This is different from the He family's.
Suya was too lazy to question them one by one, although with her abilities and methods, those guys should confess.
But Suya is no longer in the mood to play around with these small fry; she wants to find out who their higher-ups are.
So she remembered He Zixin's family skills.
"I need you to do something for me: meet with six old guys and find out what they're thinking."
"How exactly do I do it?"
He Zixin asked.
“I will ask them some questions, and some of them will definitely lie, so you just need to find the one who is lying.”
"Okay, no problem. As long as it's not someone like you or him, I can handle it."
Just then, Old Ye knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, can we leave now?"
"Wait a moment," Ye Qinchuan said.
"Okay, boss."
Su Ya looked at Ye Er and asked He Zixin what his true thoughts were just now.
