The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 476 - Chapter 476 Chapter 476 The Person Behind the Scenes

Chapter 476: Chapter 476: The Person Behind the Scenes Chapter 476: Chapter 476: The Person Behind the Scenes Soon, Shen Yixue fully regained consciousness.

Zhong Niangyao also witnessed the crazed state Guan Liu had described about Shen Yixue.

Upon waking up, Shen Yixue began to struggle incessantly, her face ferocious and features contorted, her eyes nearly bulging out. Yet, despite her agonizing pain, she couldn’t utter a single word.

“Just now, it was like this,” Guan Liu spoke from the side, “She was talking normally, but suddenly it seemed like something went wrong with her throat, and she couldn’t speak anymore. Moreover, she started clutching her own neck as if in severe pain.”

Therefore, they suspected that Shen Yixue might be cursed.

At this moment, engulfed in pain, Shen Yixue noticed Zhong Niangyao’s presence. She didn’t know why Zhong Niangyao was there, but she despised her to the bone. She even believed that her current suffering was entirely because of Zhong Niangyao.

Although unclear why her throat had suddenly changed, she vaguely felt that all of this was somehow related to her boss. She remembered that, in a spur of the moment, she had planned to divulge her boss’s affairs.

The reason she had encountered this so-called boss was also that she was used as a pawn to target Zhong Niangyao.

In other words, it was all because of Zhong Niangyao that she was suffering like this.

For a moment, intense hatred almost made Shen Yixue forget her physical pain.

Feeling Shen Yixue’s hate-filled gaze, Zhong Niangyao found it amusing.

She turned her head, looked at Lu Yichen beside her, and said, “It seems she is under some kind of Forbidden Curse. If I’m not mistaken, this must be the work of someone behind the scenes.”

“The person behind the scenes?”

Being a veteran in the business world, Chu Ciwen immediately understood the implication in Zhong Niangyao’s words, “Lady Zhong, you mean to say, Shen Yixue impersonating our daughter is being manipulated by someone.”

“That’s for sure!” Zhong Niangyao nodded and continued, “You must have investigated Shen Yixue’s past as well! Her biological family simply does not have the capacity to pull off such a deception. This whole affair must be orchestrated by someone, only–”

At this point, she stopped. She hadn’t figured out yet what goal Shen Yixue, posing as the Chu Family heiress, ultimately had.

It was clear that Shen Yixue wanted to live the life of a wealthy young lady. But what about the person behind her?

Arranging for Shen Yixue to become the Miss of the Chu Family wasn’t simple. Managing the DNA tests would be difficult.

After all, the Chu Family wasn’t foolish; in such a serious matter, to be cautious, they would definitely send the samples to a trusted testing facility.

“What are you thinking about?” Lu Yichen came next to Zhong Niangyao, softly interrupting her contemplation.

Zhong Niangyao did not conceal anything, openly sharing all her doubts.

Chu Ciwen and Guan Liu, standing on the side, didn’t express any opinions. However, in their hearts, they both felt that this must be a conspiracy against their Chu Family.

“Why not ask the person involved?” Lu Yichen’s icy gaze landed on Shen Yixue, “Since someone has placed a Forbidden Curse on her to prevent her from speaking, then even if Shen Yixue doesn’t know much, she must at least be able to provide some information about the person behind the scenes.”

“Right.”

After saying this, Zhong Niangyao turned her head and looked at Shen Yixue. Her eyes rolled around, then she formed a Seal with her hands, and immediately, a golden light flashed. Shen Yixue, whose face had been filled with expressions of pain, slowly calmed down.

Although her forehead was covered with cold sweat due to the pain, and her complexion was very pale, Shen Yixue indeed quieted down.

At this moment, Shen Yixue felt the pain in her body had completely disappeared. Before she could feel relieved, she suddenly seemed to remember something, abruptly raised her head, and looked at Zhong Niangyao with incredulity in her eyes.

Although her throat felt as if it were being scorched by intense fire, plunging her into endless agony, she could still see Zhong Niangyao’s movements.

So she clearly remembered that it was because of Zhong Niangyao that the pain on her body had vanished.

Recalling how a mysterious master had previously insinuated that she should find a way to kill Zhong Niangyao, recalling how Li Jingming had hired assassins twice and failed to kill Zhong Niangyao, recalling the awe in the expressions of the Chu Family when they spoke of Zhong Niangyao, recalling how much Old Sir Chu valued Zhong Niangyao, now she understood everything.

It all came down to Zhong Niangyao’s inexplicable and mysterious methods.

Thinking back on what she had done to Zhong Niangyao, Shen Yixue suddenly felt like a complete fool.

In an instant, Zhong Niangyao released an invisible gas that directly severed the ropes on Shen Yixue.

Although she was freed, Shen Yixue still did not move and lay there weakly.

In fact, at this moment, Shen Yixue truly had no strength left.

After enduring such torturous, almost inhumane pain twice, even if she no longer felt the burning pain in her throat, her whole body felt drained, completely lacking any strength.

Zhong Niangyao looked at the disheveled Shen Yixue without a trace of sympathy and spoke directly, “Shen Yixue, who exactly is orchestrating all this behind the scenes, and what is their purpose in turning you into the Second Lady of the Chu Family?”

Facing Zhong Niangyao’s questioning, Shen Yixue did not even glance her way.

Everything she suffered was because of Zhong Niangyao.

Now why should she tell Zhong Niangyao everything! Although she did not know what deep hatred existed between Zhong Niangyao and that mysterious master, she knew that the master would not let Zhong Niangyao go so easily.

She was waiting for Zhong Niangyao’s retribution, so why would she disclose everything!

She simply would not speak; she wanted to see Zhong Niangyao’s retribution.

“Shen Yixue, at this point, what do you have left to hide?” Guan Liu, who was nearby, couldn’t help but speak up, his tone laced with a trace of urgency, “If you don’t clarify things, our Chu Family won’t let you go.”

Shen Yixue remained unmoved because she was well aware that even if she spoke now, the Chu Family might not spare her.
