CHAPTER 416: CHAPTER 414: EVERYTHING WAS OVERHEARD

"Who knows if you’ll go crazy and come back to seduce Yuhan again."

Xinxin blew on her newly done nails, the fiery red color matching her fiery temperament, her whole presence like a blooming rose, stunningly beautiful.

Jian Xi smirked, "Thanks to you, Si Yuhuan now wants to kill me the moment he sees me. The only reason he hasn’t acted is because it’s not suitable with Haohan Group’s current troubles. What are you afraid of?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand," Xinxin lifted her chin, "Don’t accuse without evidence."

"I didn’t even mention it, and Miss Xin has already confessed. I didn’t expect someone as venomous as you near Si Yuhuan; must be karma."

"Jian Xi..." Xinxin’s voice turned low.

Jian Xi smiled, "I haven’t settled matters with you. Don’t seek trouble yourself. I’m avoiding conflict because I want a peaceful life. If you insist on provoking me, don’t blame me for retaliating. Certainly, Secret Gate is strong, but after being repeatedly harmed, do you still think you’re invincible?"

The aura of authority washed over, a demeanor that can’t be learned by those mere assassins.

Xinxin clenched her molars, staring intently at her.

Jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Even having given birth, Jian Xi remained astonishingly beautiful, giving her a dreadful sense of crisis.

On top of that, she’s the president of Yaowang Group, a princess of the Jian Family, doted upon by everyone. Touching her is incredibly difficult!

"Snort—"

Xinxin laughed, "Look, why is Miss Jian so nervous? Just a joke, I know your intentions. I hope you can always hold your ground. I’ve helped you indirectly and saved your child, Miss Jian, don’t be ungrateful!"

"I won’t! Best wishes for Madam Si’s future, may prosperity abound."

Xinxin’s smile carried blades, watching Jian Xi’s disappearing figure, she tightly clenched her fist.

"Hmph!"

This woman gives her too much of a crisis feeling. Once she secures her position as Madam Si, she will get rid of her once and for all.

And those two little brats, they need to be eliminated too.

....

Si Family Old Residence.

The family doctor urgently arrived to check on Housekeeper Qi.

After a blood test, he concluded, "Housekeeper Qi seems to have a mental illness, has been taking large amounts of psychoactive drugs for a long time. At his age, taking so much medication, even if he’s saved today, he might not live much longer."

Yan Qing wiped a cold sweat.

How did things develop like this?

He turned and saw Si Yuhuan at the doorway.

He stood in the shadows against the light, his face unseen, enveloped in a gloom that clouded the atmosphere.

As he walked in step by step, he reached Housekeeper Qi, crouched, and grasped his hand.

Yan Qing couldn’t hold back his tears.

Housekeeper Qi had protected the Si Family for over forty years.

He witnessed Si Yuhuan growing up, his love and care no less than that of Si’s old master, even more perhaps.

Didn’t expect such an ending.

Outside, thunderstorms raged, lightning flashed, instantly illuminating the darkened room.

Housekeeper Qi opened his eyes dimly, as if he’d forgotten what just happened, even lifting his arm was difficult.

Si Yuhuan pressed his hand to his face, "Housekeeper Qi, how do you feel?"

He spoke hoarsely, unable to hide his grief.

"Very well, young master worried, my head hurts."

"You’ve been working hard recently, take a good rest. Once you’re better, you still need to care for Grandfather. Doctor said Grandfather will wake soon. He’ll be overjoyed to see you by his side."

"Yes, I need to get better, care for the old master, and still look after your children, I can’t afford any mishaps."

Housekeeper Qi started to cough violently, emotions escalating with each cough.

"That bastard, why harm the old master, I want to kill her, I want to kill her."

The doctor immediately gave Housekeeper Qi a sedative injection.

"The stimulus level is quite severe; he often imagines his most important people being harmed. It’s a subconscious guarding, a sign of paranoid delusion, an incurable psychological disorder. Given his age and poor health, it’s really beyond saving, can only sustain for a month at most."

Si Yuhuan tightly clenched his fist, his expression unchanged, betraying no emotion, he ordered calmly, "Use the best medicine to treat Housekeeper Qi, spare no effort."

The doctor nodded, "Understood."

Yan Qing knew, Director Si was truly enraged.

Even learning Haohan Group was backstabbed by Tianyao Group and Jian Group didn’t ignite such fury!

"Investigate! When did Housekeeper Qi fall ill, when did he start the medication, where did the drugs come from! And everything that happened here today!"

Si Yuhuan articulated.

Yan Qing didn’t dare make a mistake, "Understood!"

Xinxin initially wanted to approach, glancing at the situation inside, she turned to the back garden, pulling out her phone to dial a familiar number.

"Are you sure there’s no issue with that doctor? And the medicine..."

"Boss, rest assured, if the doctor wants his family spared, he must follow our instructions. As for the medicine, no problem, remember it was procured during a mission, tested on thousands, definitely no issue."

"Hmm."

The hallucinogenic drug was obtained by Secret Gate at a huge cost, losing many lives in a medical experiment organization.

Prepared to use where appropriate for Secret Gate’s greater benefit.

No opportunity as fitting as now.

Xinxin wouldn’t hesitate to use it.

Three days ago, Housekeeper Qi felt unwell. To show initiative, she personally took him to the doctor, using the drug.

Housekeeper Qi soon reacted; she further applied psychological suggestions to fuel his hatred for Jian Xi.

Today’s events were all her design.

Installed seamlessly, perfectly.

She felt like a genius!

Whoosh—

Xinxin was about to leave when she heard leaves rustling from the opposite rose greenhouse.

Startled, her phone nearly fell.

"Who’s there?"

Inside, someone turned to flee.

Xinxin swiftly charged forward, placing a knife against Aunt Zhang’s neck, "What did you hear?"

She smiled like a blooming rose, enchanting yet lethally fierce.

Aunt Zhang knew her identity as an assassin.

Terrified, she almost knelt directly, "Don’t kill me; I heard nothing."

Xinxin curved her lips, "Seems you heard quite clearly."

Her gaze swept around, pressing the knife closer, drawing blood from Aunt Zhang’s neck.
