The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 585 - Chapter 585 Chapter 585 The Person Behind the Scenes

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: The Person Behind the Scenes Chapter 585: Chapter 585: The Person Behind the Scenes After hearing Lu Yichen’s words, Zhong Nianyao’s pupils couldn’t help but contract. “Who exactly is behind all this? And what is their purpose?”

“We still need to investigate that,” Lu Yichen looked at Baili Hengyuan, then spoke up, “However, with such sinister methods, the Baili Clan Leader should really think about who harbors such deep resentment against Baili Le Yao, to the extent that they would do something like this.”

Baili Hengyuan fell into deep thought.

Zhong Nianyao turned to Lu Yichen and soon spoke up, “Can that thing on Baili Le Yao’s body be resolved?”

“It can,” Lu Yichen nodded.

“Really?”

It was Baili Hengyuan who spoke; his face was full of surprise, and his tone carried a trace of urgency, “What should we do then? Or is there anything we need to prepare on our end? I can have someone prepare it right now.”

“No need.”

Lu Yichen raised his hand, and a wisp of black qi emerged from his fingertips, immediately aiming towards the direction of the comatose Baili Le Yao on the bed.

As if given a command, it flew directly toward the unconscious Baili Le Yao and ultimately entered between her eyebrows.

Baili Hengyuan stood there, his gaze at Lu Yichen now filled with a few additional layers of profundity and even a hint of doubt.

Such maneuvers by Lu Yichen were something he had never seen before. But the dangerous aura emanating from that wisp of black qi was something he could feel very distinctly.

He vaguely felt that if he were to face off against that black qi, he would probably not stand a chance. It indicated just how unfathomably skilled Lu Yichen truly was.

As for what exactly Lu Yichen’s identity was, he could not guess at all. He knew for certain it had to be someone from a special department, but with such might, the position was definitely not low.

If it were merely a person from a special department, he would not have any particular emotions about it. But this person was also his granddaughter’s fiance, and it seemed their relationship was quite good.

He wasn’t blind, from the interactions between Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao, it was clear that they were a loving couple, not an act. Especially since the two of them were now staying in the same room.

Thinking of this, Baili Hengyuan really wanted to grab Baili Zhenhua and give him a good beating.

Baili Zhenhua must have lost his wits to actually arrange for Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao to stay in the same room, wasn’t this just throwing a sheep into a tiger’s mouth?

Even if the two were indeed engaged, they weren’t married yet! How could he place them in the same room? Didn’t he know about the principle of men and women keeping their distance?

For a moment, Baili Hengyuan’s face displayed an unpredictable range of expressions.

Neither Lu Yichen nor Zhong Nianyao noticed Baili Hengyuan’s changing expression; their gazes were all on Baili Le Yao.

A moment later, the wisp of black qi came out again from between Baili Le Yao’s eyebrows, then whizzed back into Lu Yichen’s body.

“Is it done?” Zhong Nianyao turned to Lu Yichen and asked curiously, “That thing inside my mom.”

“That thing has been exterminated,” Lu Yichen replied.

“Is it really okay now?” Baili Hengyuan, full of surprise, but then a bit puzzled, asked, “If it’s all resolved, then why hasn’t Le Yao woken up yet?”

Zhong Nianyao stepped forward, checked Baili Le Yao once more, then turned her head, looked at Baili Hengyuan, and spoke, “That strange force is gone now. However, so much vitality has been drained over the years, my mom’s body is still very weak, so she will likely remain in a coma for several more days.”

“That’s good, that’s good,” Baili Hengyuan could hardly contain himself as his eyes reddened, and his voice carried a hint of a choke, “As long as she can wake up, what’s a few more days’ waits?”

He did not doubt Zhong Nianyao’s words at all. Or, to be more precise, he wanted to thank the heavens for sending this granddaughter back to his side, giving his daughter another day to awake.

He wasn’t getting any younger; he even felt that he might not live to see the day his daughter awoke, unable to speak a word to her again.

But now, they said she would wake up in a few days.

He had survived these twenty-some years, what were a few more days? Let alone days, even if it were months, or years, he could wait.

As long as his daughter could wake up, as long as there was hope, they could continue waiting.

Watching Baili Hengyuan’s emotional state, Zhong Nianyao blinked and said nothing, but she certainly understood his feelings at the moment.

After a long while, Baili Hengyuan finally managed to compose himself. He took a deep breath and then, as if thinking of something, his tone carried a tinge of regret, “It’s just a pity that we still haven’t found the mastermind behind this.”

As he spoke, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the depths of his eyes, “If I find out who did it, I will surely flay that person alive.”

The person behind this was too conniving and treacherous, having attacked his daughter with such viciousness, causing her to sleep for more than a decade and even leading to the death of his wife in melancholy. He would never let the mastermind off the hook.

At this moment, Baili Hengyuan’s entire being radiated an aura of someone not to be trifled with, his presence as Clan Leader fully manifest.

“We’ll know soon enough,” Zhong Nianyao looked at Baili Hengyuan, smiling gently, “The thing inside my mom has been eliminated, which means the mastermind has lost their means of extracting vitality from her. They will definitely notice.”

“In the short term, that person will come to probe for information. Then we will know who it is. It’s just–”

At this point, a mysterious smile appeared on Zhong Nianyao’s face, “I hope, Grandfather, that you can remain calm when you find out the true identity of the person behind this!”

Hearing the implication in Zhong Nianyao’s words, Baili Hengyuan, after a flash of contemplation, raised his gaze to Zhong Nianyao and asked directly, “Nianyao, do you already know who the mastermind is?”

“Not certain,” Zhong Nianyao honestly shook her head, “But we’ll know soon. We have our suspicions, but even if we told you, you wouldn’t believe us. So, it is better for you to see with your own eyes!”
