Chapter 395 Control
"Controlling people's minds?" The man raised an eyebrow and suddenly scoffed, "You really are capable of doing anything for your own selfish desires."
Bai Zhuwei frowned slightly upon hearing the sarcasm in his words, a cold glint flashing across her face. She retorted in a chilling voice, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Seeing her displeasure, the man's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of contempt. He then spoke in a deep voice, "This kind of operation is extremely mentally taxing. You have no knowledge of metaphysics, so I'm afraid you can't do it."
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned and walked into the house. When he came out again, he was holding a talisman in his hand.
Fu then continued, "You turn the talisman into water and put it in his food. When he is unconscious, bring him here. Leave the rest to me."
The man spoke readily, but a hint of hesitation flashed across Bai Zhuwei's face. Her eyes flickered, and she asked hesitantly, "What if something unexpected happens? After all..."
Before he could finish speaking, his gaze swept towards the research room, the unspoken meaning of which was quite clear.
The man saw her concerns, sneered, and slowly replied, "Don't worry, I've already cast a spell on this talisman; it's more effective than sleeping pills."
"After drinking it, one will be no different from a person in a vegetative state."
Hearing his assurance, Bai Zhuwei felt slightly relieved, but her expression hardened slightly as she replied in a low voice, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Wait." A soft voice suddenly called from behind.
Bai Zhuwei paused slightly, turned her head, and asked in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
The man slightly raised his chin, gesturing towards the research room, and asked directly, "What should we do with that child?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei frowned slightly, her lips pressed into a straight line, and after a brief pause, she replied in a deep voice, "As you wish."
The implication was that whether Si Zuochen lived or died was none of her business.
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in the man's eyes. He raised an eyebrow and chuckled softly, "That's good."
His research on the Azure Dragon Qi has made no progress. He has even conducted research on Si Zuochen's bloodletting, but he is still at a loss. The experimental subject's body is extremely weak, and he may lose his life if he is not careful.
But since she brought the person, it would be bad if someone died. Now that she doesn't care, I can proceed with the next experiment without any worries.
Seeing the greedy look on his face, Bai Zhuwei's expression flashed with disdain. She drove away and sped off.
On the other side, in the president's office of the Si Group.
Gu Nan casually mentioned Lu Ziyi's fate and suddenly sneered, "He tried to put pressure on Jiang Ran by using public opinion, but Jiang Ran directly produced the recordings of his previous entanglement with Song Yuqing and his attempts to scheme against her, which were solid evidence!"
"The situation reversed instantly, and he became the one who was reviled by everyone."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing across his face. He clicked into the related reports and found that public opinion was indeed overwhelmingly against him, with everyone condemning him.
Meanwhile, the pinned post below still shows his information, which has been found through doxxing. Presumably, there will be some 'righteous' people blocking and intercepting him at his doorstep during this period.
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's lips curled up slightly, and he scoffed disdainfully, "He brought it on himself!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan showed disdain and remained noncommittal.
Lu Ziyi probably had a well-thought-out plan, but he didn't expect Jiang Ran to release her leverage at this moment and catch him off guard.
"Where is he now?" Si Yanxiao asked slowly, his eyes darkening slightly.
“He’s been hiding at home all day, too afraid to go out,” Gu Nan replied casually. Then, her eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in a low voice, “What? Ready to close the net?” Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and replied in a deep voice, “Too fast.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Nan understood instantly.
Before he could speak, Si Yanxiao got up, picked up his coat which was draped to the side, and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Gu Nan called out to stop her, "Are you still planning to go to Bai Zhuwei's place?"
"Hmm." Si Yanxiao responded softly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He then said in a deep voice, "I'll stabilize her first. You need to speed things up on your end too."
"Okay." Gu Nan nodded slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her face as she watched Si Yanxiao's departing figure.
No wonder Old Master Si harbored deep resentment towards Bai Zhuwei. He never expected that she could manipulate such a group of people all by herself. Her deep cunning and ruthless methods were beyond the reach of others.
When Si Yanxiao arrived at the apartment, Bai Zhuwei was cooking, ostensibly to remind him of the flavors from before.
Her thoughts drifted back six years. Bai Zhuwei had specially learned to cook to please the old man, but unfortunately, he never accepted her, and then the car accident happened...
Speaking of the past, Bai Zhuwei's tone still carried a hint of self-deprecation.
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao quickly reassured him, "It's alright, it's the same if you make it for me."
As she spoke, she picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork, which was just the right amount of sweetness. After praising it a few times, Bai Zhuwei quickly continued to pick up more food.
With the red wine in hand, Si Yanxiao didn't think much of it.
Halfway through the meal, I suddenly felt a blur before my eyes and my consciousness became unclear. I felt that Bai Zhuwei in front of me instantly turned into a double image.
"You..." He had barely opened his mouth when he collapsed onto the table with a thud.
Seeing this, Bai Zhuwei's eyes flickered slightly, and she stepped forward, calling softly, "Ayan...Ayan?"
After receiving no response for a while, and confirming that Si Yanxiao was unconscious, he made a phone call and said coldly, "Come up."
Less than two minutes later, a sudden knocking sounded at the door, and Bai Zhuwei opened it herself.
Then she saw a man wearing a baseball cap, his face hidden. When she looked up, she realized he was the person Ji Yun had sent to meet with her.
"Is everything taken care of?" the man asked in a cold voice.
"Hmm." Bai Zhuwei responded softly, then led him to the dining table, where Si Yanxiao had already collapsed unconsciously onto the table.
Upon seeing this, a ruthless glint flashed in the man's eyes, his lips tightened, and his gaze swept toward the fruit knife beside him.
Bai Zhuwei noticed his movement, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she quickly reached out to grab him, coldly rebuking, "Don't forget what you promised me! You absolutely wouldn't touch him!"
The man lowered his eyes to look at Si Yanxiao, his brows furrowed with malice. Thinking of the consensus they had reached earlier, he paused in his actions, his face turning cold as he warned in a chilling voice, "You'd better make sure you can control him, or don't blame me for being ruthless."
He had been following Ji Yun's orders to monitor her, but he never expected her to suddenly summon him to bring her to the research lab.
Upon further reflection, I understood the deeper meaning behind her actions.
Si Yanxiao is a household name in Yancheng, and the disappearance of Si Zuochen is also common knowledge. If other people are brought in to help, it is inevitable that the news will leak out.
But he was different. He had already made things clear to her, and as someone in the same boat, he was indeed the only one who could help her.
Thinking of this, the man's eyes darkened slightly, and he roughly hoisted Si Yanxiao onto his shoulder, saying coldly, "Let's go."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhuwei quickly opened the door and led the way, driving towards their destination.
Meanwhile, the Taoist priest who was focused on studying the Azure Dragon Qi had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that Bai Zhuwei had brought outsiders with her, a look of displeasure flashed across his face.
He immediately gave him the order to leave: "He cannot go in."
The man didn't argue. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of disdain flashing across his face. He spread his hands, pushed the person in front of him, and took a half step back, making his attitude clear.
The Taoist priest stepped forward, pulled the person over, gave Bai Zhuwei a wink, and then the two walked inside.
As Bai Zhuwei entered the research room, she was immediately struck by the pungent smell of blood. Looking up, she saw that Si Zuochen's limbs were bound and there were obvious scratches on his wrists.
His face was pale, and his lips were bloodless. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would probably look no different from a dead man.
The Taoist priest placed Si Yanxiao next to Si Zuochen, holding a talisman, making hand gestures, and chanting incantations.
Bai Zhuwei watched from the side, her brows furrowed slightly, a strange sense of panic flashing through her heart.
A quarter of an hour later, the Taoist priest's murmurs gradually subsided, and he slowly composed himself before speaking in a deep voice, "Let's go out first."
"Go out?" A look of confusion flashed across Bai Zhuwei's face.
The Taoist priest nodded slightly and explained in a low voice, "This method cannot be accomplished overnight. It requires a gradual period of time. Too much of the living person's aura will actually hinder the absorption of the incantation."
