Chapter 212 Damaged Spiritual Power

Thinking of this, Gu Nan sighed softly to herself, a hint of helplessness flashing between her brows.

But Si Yanxiao showed no sign of it on his face, remaining silent and keeping his thoughts to himself.

Seeing this, Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, lowered her eyes, and then turned and left, just to leave Si Yanxiao some independent space.

Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes to look at the furnishings in the room, and could even vaguely guess Bai Zhuwei's every smile and gesture when she lived here.

Leaving it here is nothing more than a way to reminisce about the past.

He immediately got up and walked towards the door. Gu Nan, who was waiting outside, saw him come out and quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't respond, but changed the subject and instructed, "Investigate as soon as possible, and notify me immediately if you find any clues."

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to say more, Gu Nan didn't press him further. She nodded slightly and replied softly, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Yanxiao's figure disappeared around the corner.

I drove directly to my mother's grave, and before coming, I bought a bouquet of flowers to pay my respects.

By the time we arrived, it was already getting dark and night had fallen.

Standing before the tombstone, gazing at the photograph on it, my eyes dimmed slightly, and my heart was filled with mixed emotions.

He then slowly squatted down, gently stroked the tombstone, and a soft smile appeared on his lips.

His mother left him when he was young, but she was the only comfort in his heart.

Whenever he felt depressed and had no one to confide in, he would sit by his mother's grave and slowly pour out his unhappiness.

A gentle breeze blows by, as if it were a mother's caress.

Then he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Mother, I've come to see you..."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Gu Nan was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar face downstairs. The face lit up when it saw him, clearly waiting for him.

Seeing this, Gu Nan waved slightly to him, and the leading bodyguard quickly stepped forward. Reaching him, he nodded slightly and respectfully said, "Assistant Gu." Gu Nan nodded slightly and replied in a low voice, "Yes, is there something you need?"

The bodyguard nodded repeatedly and quickly explained, "I didn't dare to say anything when Mr. Si was angry. Before Miss Bai disappeared, Young Master Si Zuochen came to visit her."

"Ah Chen?" Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Gu Nan's face: "What is he doing here?!"

The bodyguard bowed slightly and replied in a deep voice, "He said that Mr. Si specifically asked him to come and inquire about some private matters, and he also specifically asked us to stand further away."

He didn't think much of it at first, but then the guards disappeared shortly after he arrived, which made him somewhat suspicious.

After hearing his explanation, Gu Nan's eyes darkened, and a hint of difficulty flashed across her face. She then replied, "Okay, I understand."

Having finished his business, the bodyguard prepared to leave.

Gu Nan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly thought of something. She then spoke up again, instructing, "Remember, don't let anyone know about this."

"I will naturally explain to Mr. Si."

"Yes!" the bodyguard replied in a low voice, and only left after Gu Nan waved to him.

As soon as the bodyguard left, Gu Nan's expression immediately turned ugly.

I originally thought this was just something Bai Zhuwei orchestrated herself, but now that I've suddenly heard this news, it's clear that Si Zuochen is involved.

Thinking of this, Gu Nan quickly called Si Zuochen. After a few rings, a clear male voice slowly came through the receiver: "Uncle Anan."

"Where are you?" Gu Nan asked directly, not bothering with pleasantries.

After Si Zuochen gave her his location, Gu Nan hung up the phone.

On the other side, Jiang Ran asked all the servants, but none of them knew where Si Zuochen had gone.

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly remembered the GPS tracking device installed on him. He quickly contacted professionals, who then located his position.

When Jiang Ran arrived at the coffee shop, she saw Si Zuochen sitting there listlessly.

Si Zuochen raised an eyebrow and suddenly saw Jiang Ran's figure appear not far away, a look of surprise flashing across his face.

He quickly stood up and asked, "What are you doing here?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "That's the question I should be asking you. What are you doing sitting here these past few days, leaving early and returning late?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen instantly understood that she had come out specifically to find him.

She pursed her lips slightly, about to speak and explain, "I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Nan's voice came from behind him: "Jiang Ran?"

Jiang Ran turned around and met Gu Nan's gaze. She then nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Gu Nan didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she looked at Si Zuochen, her gaze darkening, and questioned him about the matter related to Bai Zhuwei.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's face immediately showed a hint of surprise, and she instantly realized why Si Zuochen was often away from home.

It turned out that they had discovered Bai Zhuwei's whereabouts.

Thinking of this, a flash of admiration crossed Jiang Ran's eyes. She hadn't expected Si Zuochen's observation to be so keen.

Faced with Gu Nan's questioning, Si Zuochen raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ran seemingly casually. Seeing that she showed no other unusual expression besides surprise, he felt somewhat relieved.

He was afraid she would blame him for meddling.

He nodded and admitted, "I went to talk to her about some things."

"But I have no idea why she left!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Nan frowned and asked for more details.

Then, looking at Jiang Ran, he asked in a low voice, "Would it be convenient for us to talk in private?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran's face flashed with surprise, then she replied in a low voice, "Okay."

After the two walked a distance away, Gu Nan asked in a low voice, "Ayan is still unaware of this matter."

"Now that I think about it, I'm afraid Bai Zhuwei's departure is inextricably linked to Achen."

Jiang Ran listened, but her face did not show the same worry as Gu Nan's. She said directly, "Not necessarily."

Seeing a hint of doubt flash across Gu Nan's face, Jiang Ranfu spoke again and explained softly, "Achen isn't the kind of kid who only knows how to talk tough. He's quick-witted and has his own way of handling things."

"Even though I had a few arguments with Bai Zhuwei, it was only because we were discussing the matter at hand."

"So you don't need to worry too much."

Listening to Jiang Ran's insights, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Gu Nan's eyes.

If it were before, Jiang Ran would have pushed Si Zuochen out to take responsibility long ago, but now she knows to clear his name and speak up for him, which is a good thing.

However, this matter happened to touch Si Yanxiao's sore spot, so it became somewhat tricky.

Seeing that Gu Nan still seemed to have a hint of hesitation on her face, Jiang Ran continued, "As for Bai Zhuwei, she is an adult and has her own judgment. How could she be swayed by a child's words?"

As he spoke, a slight smirk appeared on his lips, revealing his disdain.

"Hmm." Gu Nan had already made up her mind after hearing this, and replied in a low voice, "Okay, I understand."

After briefly inquiring about Si Yanxiao's situation, the two parted ways.

Jiang Ran waved to Si Zuochen through the glass, and Si Zuochen immediately understood, getting up and walking outside.

The two walked side by side toward the garage. Whether it was out of trust or tacit understanding, neither of them spoke of Bai Zhuwei's matter.

The driver waited in the car, while Jiang Ran and Si Zuochen sat together in the back seat, and the car fell silent instantly.

Jiang Ran looked up at the window, watching the passing roads and trees flash by. She lowered her eyes slightly, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Bai Zhuwei's departure was probably premeditated, and he himself had been framed and his spiritual power was completely depleted.

Even the simplest divination using external objects is inaccurate, let alone divination by pinching fingers and making hand gestures.

Each step is interconnected, and the person behind it all probably intends to throw them into disarray.

The most important thing now is not to find Bai Zhuwei's whereabouts, but to connect the clues as much as possible and find out who is behind it all.

And during this period, one must also restore one's spiritual power as soon as possible.

Otherwise, you will be controlled by others at every turn.

They are in the open while the enemy is in the shadows; if they were to truly confront each other, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

Once her spiritual power is restricted, she can no longer control the overall situation and instantly becomes a player in the game.

Most importantly, her spiritual power was not completely dissipated; it still circulated throughout her body, but it was not concentrated and therefore useless.

Her ability to foresee past events and future occurrences was not due to any obstruction of her spiritual power, but rather more likely because someone had orchestrated a blockage to impede her third eye...
