Chapter 972 The Frail Heiress 17
It turns out that to restore things to normal, another person needs to be sacrificed.

The clan chief said that since this incident was caused by the Holy Gu Clan, the person chosen was a relative of that person from back then, and he shouldn't feel any psychological burden, as the other party was also willing.

As someone who grew up in this era, Ling Huan couldn't do it, so he didn't agree.

Moreover, the person who caused this outcome was that person from back then, and had nothing to do with the other members of the Holy Gu Clan. Why would he want to harm another innocent person?

Since it's a forbidden technique, it's best not to use it.

You have to understand that human desires are endless. He didn't even think that using this forbidden technique was really that perfect, and that there might be some terrible consequences waiting for him.

"And now?" Meng Xuan still couldn't figure out the reason behind it, but one thing was certain: his roommate seemed to be more than he thought.

Of course, Xia Zhen doesn't seem to be simple either.

"Perhaps we can find out by asking Miss Xia," Ling Huan laughed, but Meng Xuan was somewhat taken aback by his words.

What is this nonsense?

Xia Zhen is clearly not simple; she was able to find out about this matter by simply approaching the other party.
"Don't you think the surveillance footage is too clear? How come it just happened to capture her palm?" Seeing that his cousin didn't react, Ling Huan showed him the footage outside the bathroom again.

This angle is absolutely perfect.

This time, Meng Xuan also saw Xia Zhen walk over, glance at the surveillance camera, and couldn't help but gasp.

His scalp tingled instantly.

Things feel like they're getting more and more complicated.

So Xia Zhen deliberately showed the insect in her hand to the surveillance camera?

But how did she know her cousin would watch the security camera footage?

"How did she know you could watch the surveillance footage?" Meng Xuan couldn't help but ask, feeling that something was off about the whole thing.

Moreover, he is now unable to look Lian Yang in the eye, and has even begun to recall everything that has happened since they met.

But since they were roommates, they did need to interact, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Meng Xuan's words silenced Ling Huan.

Yes, how would Xia Zhen know he could watch the surveillance footage?

Is it possible that we are telepathically connected?
"Brother, what's wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you feeling unwell?" Meng Xuan was alarmed. Could he have suddenly developed a fever?

This kind of thing happened when he was a child. The most memorable one was when he dragged his cousin out to play, but the cousin got a fever after only three minutes outside and was sick for a whole month. It almost scared him to death.

Meng Xuan hurriedly tried to press the emergency call button to summon the family doctor for a check-up, but Ling Huan held his hand down.

"It's nothing." Ling Huan's face remained tense, the redness on his face gradually fading, and he was somewhat annoyed at what he had been thinking about before.

He wasn't familiar with Xia Zhen, so why would he think of such strange things?

Since Xia Zhen and Lian Yang have no feelings for each other, it's unclear how they became boyfriend and girlfriend in name only, but they will definitely break up sooner or later.

He was deep in thought, so there might still be an opportunity.

Meng Xuan watched helplessly as his cousin's expression changed various times, and he became a little worried.

But seeing that my cousin was alright, I breathed a sigh of relief.

His cousin had been smart since he was a child, and he must be thinking about something.

"Do we really need to find Xia Zhen?" Meng Xuan asked again.

Lian Yang was, after all, his roommate, and he wanted to figure out what was going on.

Judging from my cousin's attitude, it seems that Lian Yang and his mother are not good people.

Although Lian Yang seemed like a decent person based on their usual interactions, he chose to unconditionally trust his cousin.

After all, my cousin is the smartest. "Do you have her contact information?" Ling Huan asked.

Meng Xuan: ...

There really is!

Azhen received a message that began with a self-introduction, from Ling Huan.

She wasn't surprised at all.

When she was at the Ling family home, she noticed that Ling Huan was observing Lian Yang and his mother, and there was also a surveillance camera in the living room. She knew that Ling Huan might investigate the surveillance footage afterward.

Earlier, when she was outside the restroom, she deliberately turned at a different angle to give Ling Huan a heads-up.

After all, he was one of her own little fragments. Even if she didn't know the cause and effect, she would unconditionally protect her own. Besides, since he was one of her own little fragments, he couldn't possibly be truly evil.

She already knew how wicked Lian Yang and his mother were.

The text message read: "Ms. Xia, this is Ling Huan. Can we schedule a time to talk? There are some things I'd like to discuss with you."

Ling Huan didn't call, presumably because he guessed Xia Zhen was probably with Lian Yang and his son at this time. The other party seemed to have some plan, and it wouldn't be good if it ruined hers. Since she deliberately exposed herself under surveillance, she probably wouldn't mind meeting him.

At this time, Azhen was indeed still in the car; she was in the passenger seat, and the mother and son were in the back.

Lian Yang was feeling unwell and drowsy.

After thinking for a moment, A-Zhuang replied: Okay, let's arrange a place.

Upon receiving the reply, Ling Huan's tense expression relaxed: "She agreed."

"Just as you said, she did it on purpose under the surveillance footage." Meng Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. "Brother, take me with you!"

To be honest, Ling Huan really didn't want to bring Meng Xuan along.

But now he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he glanced at his cousin and finally nodded.

Back at the hotel, they settled Lian Yang in.

Yun Xiuzi then asked about the return time. She was currently playing the role of an ordinary mother whose son had a strange illness. She had suddenly arrived in such a big city and naturally didn't know what to do.

Actually, Azhen brought some people with her, specifically to take care of Lianyang along the way. He could just give her any instructions.

"Take a day off and go back the day after tomorrow."

"If Aunt Yun wants to go sightseeing, she can stay a few more days. It's a rare opportunity to come to Beijing."

"We don't know what's wrong with Lian Yang's illness right now, and it looks very dangerous. Should we keep him in Beijing? After all, the medical conditions here are really good."

Azhen guessed that Yun Xiuzi probably wouldn't agree, as the other party had her own plans.

Sure enough, Yun Xiuzi shook her head and said that since they couldn't find out anything anyway, it would be better to go home.

She had already met the old acquaintance, and was especially pleased to see the situation of Ling Sai and Meng Zixuan's son. Now that they had met, it wouldn't be difficult to find another opportunity to get to know each other better; her goal had been achieved.

Besides, isn't my son's roommate Meng Xuan?

With such a close relationship with the Ling family, if we make good use of them, we can make the Ling family suffer a great loss in the future.

"I'm going to see a friend this afternoon," Azhen said. "If Aunt Yun has something to do, just tell Assistant Li and the others."

Yun Xiuzi didn't pay much attention. As the daughter of the richest man in Qing City, it was normal for her to have friends all over the country.

She never expected that the person Azhen wanted to see was actually the short-lived ghost Ling Huan that she had mentioned.

In the afternoon, Azhen arrived at the place Ling Huan had chosen, a private club with a high degree of privacy.

She wasn't surprised to see Meng Xuan inside.

Meng Xuan made no attempt to hide the curiosity in his eyes.
