Ye Tian was slightly taken aback at first, then smiled gently, "You guessed it so quickly?"
"It really is her!" Although Li Xiyue had guessed it, she was still shocked to hear it confirmed. She never expected that the Chu family's only precious granddaughter had been living in the capital all along, right under the Chu family's nose.
This must be what they mean by "the darkest place is under the lamp."
Ye Tian nodded. "Yes, that's Chu Xiang. She didn't die at all. She just had a fever when she was a child, which damaged her brain. Although she grew up, her intelligence is stuck at the level of when she was six years old."
Li Xiyue stared at the face that always wore a gentle smile, "So, you're not Ye Tian at all, nor are you a member of the Chu family. You're the real Gongye Haotian!"
Ye Tian did not deny it.
"You had people arrest those famous traditional Chinese medicine doctors, arrest my maternal grandfather, and had Wu Laohu collect medical books and medicinal materials everywhere. You also tried every means to get into the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research, all for the purpose of treating Chu Xiang's illness."
But you find that the people you arrested, the medical books you found, and the medicines you gathered are all useless. Only my grandfather's Thirteen Ghost Needles can cure Chu Xiang's illness.
But my grandfather disappeared before you made your move. You couldn't find him, so you tried to lure him out by capturing me, but you failed.
If the covert approach doesn't work, you'll try the open one, using a false identity to approach me legitimately.
You deliberately fell ill in front of me, using the house to lure me into saving you. Then you pretended to be a member of the Chu family to try and find out my grandfather's whereabouts. When you couldn't get the information, you had the fake Gongye Haotian arrested, hoping to lower our guard and lure my grandfather out.
Later, when you learned that I also knew the Thirteen Ghost Needles, you changed your mind and wanted me to save Chu Xiang. However, you were afraid of the Chu family's power and afraid that I would discover Chu Xiang's identity. So you secretly joined forces with Xu Xiangyang to harm A Xun and deal with the Chu family.
"If I'm not mistaken, you started your plan as soon as I left Beijing. After you succeeded in Beijing, you sent Xu Xiangyang to Jiangsu Province to pick me up, drug me, and capture me."
After listening to her analysis, Ye Tian lowered his eyes, a helpless yet admiring smile on his lips. "Xi Yue, actually I didn't want to take this step either, but you're too smart, I can't take the risk."
I'm sure you'll recognize her the moment you see her. Once the Chu family finds out, they'll definitely ruin my plans. Even if I cure her illness, I won't be able to take her away from China.
Therefore, I must deal with the Chu family, and Chu Xun is the most capable person in the Chu family. As long as he lives, my plan cannot be completed; he can only die!
Ye Tian took a few steps and then said, "But with Chu Xun's abilities, he can't be dealt with easily, which is why I've been holding back."
It wasn't until the day I climbed the Great Wall that Xu Xiangyang's appearance gave me the opportunity.
Xu Xiangyang and Chu Xun are equally capable, and they both like you. I'm certain that he will be the sharpest blade in my hand.
He didn't disappoint me; it was he who killed Chu Xun with his own hands.
Li Xiyue clenched her fists tightly and stared intently at him.
“After Chu Xun died, I reported Chu Zhou.” Ye Tian pointed to himself. “I’ve been back in the Chu family for over a year, and they treat me like a thief. I can’t get any leverage over them. I’ve racked my brains, but I’ve only managed to find one loophole: imitating Chu Zhou’s handwriting.”
“I imitated Chu Zhou’s handwriting and wrote several letters to frame him for treason, which trapped the Chu family. Now that the Chu family is in trouble, they will no longer be able to take care of you. I will have Xu Xiangyang bring you here.”
"Xi Yue, once you've cured Chu Xiang's illness, let's leave Huaguo together and start a new life!"
Li Xiyue said coldly, "I can't leave China with you. I can't walk the same path as a Japanese traitor like you!"
"Chu Xiang is Chu Xun's older sister. Chu Xun has always hoped to find his sister. Don't you want to help him fulfill this last wish?" Ye Tian asked with a smile.
Li Xiyue sneered, "I won't treat her illness, and I won't let you, a beast, ruin her after I've cured her!"
"Xiyue, don't forget, your grandfather is still in my hands. If you behave, your third brother will reunite you and your grandfather. Otherwise..."
