Yu Yuehan turned Nian Xiaomuâs face toward himself as he enunciated every word clearly and slowly.
Upon hearing his words, Fan Yuâs eyes flickered, but he did not respond.
It was obvious that he agreed with this course of action.
It was the simplest and most direct way to find out the truth.
âThe woman in the video kept her head low the whole time. Itâs difficult to see her face clearly, so it wonât be easy to find her. However, if she were willing to accept a media interview, she would naturally have left an address and a contact number. If we were to check along that line of communication, we should probably be able to locate her,â Fan Yu suggested.
In City H, if he and Yu Yuehan were to combine their powers to find someone, then that person would not even have a place to hide!
âIâve already sent someone to look into Xing Li to find out where she has been living all these years, what she has been up to, and what her motive is behind approaching the media. We should have updates soon.â
Taking Nian Xiaomuâs hand with his, Yu Yuehan turned and walked out.
When they reached the door, they saw the assistant hurry in from outside.
âMaster Hanâ¦â
âDo you have Xing Liâs information?â Yu Yuehanâs dark eyes narrowed, and a streak of dangerous light flashed past his face.
The assistant bowed respectfully as he answered, âWell⦠not exactly. Our people were still locating Xing Li when she approached us first. When she found out that Miss Nian had returned to the Xing Familyâs old mansion, she rushed over here and is now being stopped by the bodyguards at the security areaâ¦â
When Nian Xiaomu heard that Xing Li had appeared, she immediately let go of Yu Yuehanâs hand and ran forward.
Since the time she woke up from her coma, this was the first time she had news of her family.
It would be a lie to pretend that she was not anxious.
Her heart pounded wildly.
Before they reached the Xing Familyâs old mansion, they spotted a lithe figure standing in a pile of ashes in the courtyard.
Her shoulders were trembling, and it seemed like she was crying.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she suddenly turned around.
Seeing the group of them, she charged toward them agitatedly.
âXing Xing, how dare you show your face here? Why didnât you die? Ah! The person who should have died is youâ¦â Xing Li looked like she had gone berserk as she confronted Nian Xiaomu.
Before she could get closer to Nian Xiaomu, the bodyguards who were standing by the side stopped her.
âYou jinx! It was all because of you! Thatâs why our family ended up like this. Why didnât you die? I want to curse you to die a horrible death!â
Although Xing Li was restrained by the bodyguards, she tried to break free from their grip.
Her eyes were sharp, and the expression on her face was vile.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
There was not a tinge of happiness in her eyes when she saw Nian Xiaomu. The glare she gave was more like a look of hatred toward an enemy rather than the joy of reuniting with family.
As she struggled to break free, the long hair that was covering her face was swept aside,
revealing an ugly scar that covered half of her face. The sight of her disfigured face was so hideous that Nian Xiaomu was stunned.
When she realized that she had exposed her face, Xing Li covered her face with both her hands.
Squatting on the ground, she yelled, âDonât look at me! None of you look at meâ¦â
Xing Li anxiously combed her hair downward to cover the scarring on her face.
Then, she turned and shouted at Nian Xiaomu, âItâs because of you. Itâs all because of you. If not for you, Dad and Mom would not have died. I wouldnât have been disfigured⦠Our family ended up like this because of you. You deserve to die, Xing Xing!â
Xing Li seemed deranged as she suddenly pounced forward.
The bodyguards had not expected her to spring up from her squatting position. Before they could stop her, she had already pounced toward Nian Xiaomu and reached out to grab her hand!
Yu Yuehanâs eyes narrowed, but before he could drag Xing Li away, Nian Xiaomu used her hand to block him.
Xing Li did not expect her to remain so composed. Nian Xiaomu did not panic, and she also did not show anger at Xing Liâs accusation.
In her eyes, there was only a sense of calm.
Looking at Xing Li as if she were a stranger, Nian Xiaomu asked, âAre you my older sister?â
