With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 971 The Frail Heiress 16
"Is there something wrong with them?"

More than twenty minutes had passed, and Meng Xuan noticed that Ling Huan was staring intently at Yun Xiuzi and her son, especially at Yun Xiuzi, whom his cousin observed with great care.

He certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with his own family. If his cousin was targeting him, then there must be something wrong with the other party.

"do not know."

"It's just a very special intuition."

Ling Huan sped up the video, but his eyes never left the screen.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have done this.

But this time, I just had this impulse.

It's not a big deal, so let's just see. If there are no problems, then forget it. But what if there really are problems?

"What problem could they possibly have?" Meng Xuan muttered to himself.

Before having any evidence, Ling Huan couldn't tell his cousin that he thought the development between Xia Zhen and Lian Yang was too strange, and he certainly wouldn't say that he didn't see any infatuation in Xia Zhen's eyes.

As for Lian Yang, according to my cousin, when Xia Zhen had the accident, he acted like a lovesick fool. Whether he was truly infatuated or had some ulterior motive, his behavior in public was definitely something that no one could tell.

Just then, Ling Huan paused the video.

He resumed playback at normal speed and slowly began watching this segment. Seeing how focused he was, Meng Xuan couldn't help but watch closely as well.

The scene now shows the two elders having finished examining Lian Yang and are about to suggest examining Xia Zhen.

Previously unnoticed, the footage now clearly shows that Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzi exchanged a brief glance at that moment. Yun Xiuzi, who had remained expressionless until now, frowned slightly for a instant, ultimately giving Lian Yang a reassuring look.

Ling Huan paused the scene at that moment, gently exhaled, as if releasing all the frustration he had felt earlier.

Meng Xuan had been watching closely, and even though he was confused, he could tell that Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzi's reactions were a bit off.

"Brother, what's going on? Their eye contact is a bit strange."

"However, that look alone doesn't prove anything."

"What if it's just a coincidence, or a private matter between them?"

Ling Huan's silence is indeed possible.

He continued playing the video, which showed Yun Xiuzi asking Xia Zhen to accompany her to the restroom.

Whether she genuinely wanted to go or had exchanged glances with Lian Yang about going, no one knew.

It was all too coincidental. It just so happened that the two elders were about to examine the red mark on Xia Zhen's face. He himself couldn't help but have doubts, and with this scene unfolding, he couldn't convince himself that everything was normal.

He remembered that there was also a surveillance camera outside the restroom, so he pointed it out.

I had already given up hope, thinking there wouldn't be any clues.

After all, Yun Xiuzi called Xia Zhen to the restroom, so what they were going to do must have happened there, since there were no surveillance cameras there.

To Ling Huan's surprise, Xia Zhen was waiting right under the surveillance camera, which captured her clearly.

The housekeeper pointed out the location to the two and then left without following them. Ling Huan clearly saw that after Yun Xiuzi entered the bathroom, Xia Zhen opened her palm, and coincidentally, the camera angle was just right to capture her palm clearly.

There was a tiny insect on her palm, but it was captured clearly from this angle.

Because of the Holy Gu Clan, Ling Huan had also done some research on Gu worms over the years. Even if he couldn't determine what kind of Gu worm it was, he recognized it at a glance as a Gu worm, not some ordinary little insect. Besides, at this time, what else could it be but a Gu worm?
"What is this?" Meng Xuan's eyes widened in surprise. He seemed to realize something and his scalp tingled with unease. "Could it be a Gu worm? Could it be that Xia Zhen caused Second Brother's health problems? Why? There's no reason for that!"

Ling Huan didn't answer, but pressed continue playing.

Meng Xuan's voice rang out again: "What's going on now?"

Because he watched helplessly as the insect in Xia Zhen's hand disappeared somewhere on her body.

Meng Xuan wasn't naive; suddenly, she realized that things were getting complicated.

“Xia Zhen is the only daughter of the richest man in Qing City, she shouldn’t have any reason to harm anyone.” Meng Xuan frowned. “The only accident that happened to her was in the second semester of her freshman year, when a red mark suddenly appeared on her face. Then she got together with my second brother, and now that my second brother has health problems, the red mark on her face hasn’t disappeared…”

Therefore, he couldn't understand why this Gu worm had ended up in Xia Zhen's hands.

When he mentioned the Gu worm, my cousin didn't refute it, so it's most likely a Gu worm.

The next scene shows Yun Xiuzi coming out of the bathroom, and Ling Huan starts looking at the scene in the living room again.

He repeatedly observed the reactions of Yun Xiuzi and her son before and after the two elders examined Xia Zhen.

Lian Yang was visibly nervous before the examination.

During the examination, Lian Yang was actually quite relaxed and even showed some anticipation, as if he really wanted to help Xia Zhen find the problem.

This wouldn't be a problem in itself, but when you combine all the images, you get a result that feels a bit off.

However, Yun Xiuzi's unusual behavior was evident when she made eye contact with Lian Yang, which showed that she cared a lot about him.

"Brother, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what you suspect."

If it weren't for his brother keeping an eye on Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzi, he might have thought that Xia Zhen had harmed Lian Yang by using the magic of the Gu worm to transfer the illness to Lian Yang's body.

But his cousin was clearly suspicious of Lian Yang and Yun Xiuzi, and their previous eye contact was also strange.

"After hearing what you said about them, I realized that Xia Zhen probably doesn't have any feelings for Lian Yang."

“I also suspect that Xia Zhen’s problems are related to Lian Yang, which is why he had the opportunity to curry favor with her. You said it yourself, the Xia family is small; the richest man in Qing City did not remarry after his wife passed away, and he only has this one daughter. I believe there are quite a few people who have designs on the Xia family. Why doesn’t Lian Yang have such designs?”

"I originally just wanted to check the situation through surveillance."

“The only thing I couldn’t understand before was, if Lian Yang and his mother really had this ability, how did Lian Yang end up like this? You know, Gu worms are very magical,” Ling Huan paused here before continuing, “Even if it can’t be completely cured, there are still ways to suppress this situation, but it will come at a price.”

What he didn't say was that there was actually a way to completely solve the problem.

The Holy Gu Clan possesses a forbidden technique, which, being forbidden, is generally unusable.

He knew this because the Holy Gu Clan Chief believed that his poor health was caused by the Holy Gu Clan.

I spoke with him privately once, and if he agreed, the Holy Gu Clan was willing to use this forbidden technique to help him fully recover.

He didn't believe that such a perfect thing existed in the world, so he asked for details.
