Butler Lin untied Gu Liyan and took him back to the secret room.
The next morning, Liu Changxian got up very early, intending to check on Gu Liyan's injuries and ask him about the snake people.
Throughout the journey, Liu Changxian kept pondering the question, "Can snake people really turn into humans? It's terrifying to see them as humans blending into our world. Is there any way to expose them? Could Mo Li have given me some information about this...?"
Upon arriving at the medical room, Liu Changxian immediately noticed the rope left on the operating table. Gu Liyan was no longer there!
"That guy... he actually ran away?!" Liu Changxian exclaimed in exasperation. "Butler Lin!"
Upon hearing Liu Changxian's voice, Butler Lin, with a smile on his face, walked in. "Young Master, what are your orders?"
Liu Changxian pointed at the rope and asked, "What's going on here?"
Upon seeing the rope, Butler Lin's face showed a surprised expression. "This..."
"How could someone just run away like that?" Liu Changxian was furious. She was still thinking of interrogating Gu Liyan, but who knew that he had already slipped away.
"It was my oversight. The snake-man should be able to revert to its original form, which is why it broke free of the ropes and escaped!" Butler Lin said apologetically.
Liu Changxian's face was gloomy, and he had already concluded that Gu Liyan was a snake-man. "If this cunning snake-man falls into my hands, I will never let him go!"
Butler Lin's lips curled into a smile; everything was under his control.
Liu Changxian thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, it would be better to inform the Prince's Mansion about this matter. Steward Lin, please go to the Prince's Mansion. It seems that Miss Wang has developed genuine feelings for Mo Li, so we must tell her the truth about Mo Li."
"yes!"
After Butler Lin left, Liu Changxian looked at the rope and became increasingly suspicious. "Why does this rope show signs of being untied? If Mo Li had transformed into her snake-person form, there would be no need to untie the rope. Could it be..."
Remembering that Gu Liyan had always told her that Butler Lin was the real snake-man, Liu Changxian felt conflicted and torn.
"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. I made a hasty conclusion that Mo Li is a snake person. Now that Steward Lin is not here, it would be better to investigate Steward Lin..." Having made up her mind, Liu Changxian walked towards Steward Lin's room.
