Human nature is unfathomable

o speak when my older brother immediately interjected, "Urgent Then what's with that attitude It's really funny... We're not in a hurry, are we It's not like we need it urgently!""You—""Let Old Mrs....From afar, we all recognized the man as Si Tu Lin.

Si Tu Lin was wearing sunglasses, and several men in black suits were following him. He was waiting for Li Li at the place where she got off the car, obviously knowing her whereabouts.

Lily was immediately taken away by his men as soon as she got out of the car. Although Lily looked unhappy, she didn't resist, seeming to know him.

Situ Lin turned his head and looked around. I immediately shrank behind the passenger seat. My brother pretended to be on the phone, thankfully this wasn't the car we drove to Zihuashan, so he didn't notice us inside.

"Sisture Lin said he came to this city for business. Could it be that he's doing something for Lily's family I remember Lily's father is the vice mayor," I whispered.

My brother stroked his chin and said, “If it were the deputy mayor, then the Siu family could understand. After all, they have always served the minority elite.”

I don't know why, but when I saw Situ Lin again this time, I felt a little awkward.

Technically speaking, this is the second time I've met him. He helped me before, so I should have a good impression of him.

But as soon as he got close to me, I always felt a sense of unease spreading through my body.

I hesitated to tell Jiang Qiyun this, he asked in a low voice: "Do you think Situ Lin has a good feeling for you"

I shook my head. "I don't think I have a good feeling... I just feel like he seems too eager."

"I think he has a bit of a crush on you, Xiao Qiao. It's just that you haven't given him a chance, so he can't express himself." My brother snorted.

I'm a little awkward, Jiang Qiyun is sitting right next to me. It doesn't seem appropriate to discuss this topic.

Jiang Qiyun's expression and tone showed no hint of jealousy: "Think carefully, from the first time you met him, were there any suspicious things about his words or actions"

From their tone, it seemed they were somewhat suspicious of Si Tu Lin.

Firstly, although the people in our circle are fluid, they generally have areas of activity. For example, the Situ family is based in the capital and their activities mostly take place within the area around Beijing.

Secondly, we are focusing on Lili because she is closely related to Mu Yunliang in human skin. We want to follow her to find Mu Yunliang's whereabouts.

Finally, we agreed to help Lin Yanhuan investigate the mastermind behind raising the little ghosts, and coincidentally, Lily's behavior now is very similar to that of someone who raises ghosts.

We can say that all our clues are on Lily, and just at this time, Situ Lin suddenly appeared. It's impossible not to suspect him.

If there was anything suspicious, it was the timing of when I was saved by Situ Lin. As I pieced together the events that had transpired before, looking back now, I felt there were inconsistencies.

That day, my brother and I came out of the cellar. A shadow lured my brother away, then I was put in a sack. Mu Yunliang wanted to knock me unconscious. There was also the voice of a stranger at the time, but that man never attacked me from beginning to end.

After I was put in the car, we got on the highway and ran into Situ Lin's convoy. He said he was chasing the corpse of the Ghost King, and afterwards, our car crashed into the median barrier. The corpse disappeared somewhere, and both Mu Yunliang and I ended up in his hands.

My older brother interjected, “So he naturally brought you to Zihua Mountain and conveniently confined Mu Yunliang… Then, after I met Mu Yunliang with you to confirm it was him, something happened to him that night. There were two men in suits guarding the door, yet they didn't hear a thing Mu Yunliang was skinned and his soul extracted right there in his room!”

As soon as I think of Mu Yunliang's body, flayed and exposed, I press my hand over my mouth, trying to stifle the feeling of nausea.

"...acting like a thief while guarding against thieves." Jiang Qiyun suddenly blurted out a phrase.

"Maybe." My brother nodded. "If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to do it so cleanly and without alerting the guards at the door."

Jiang Qiyun slowly opened his mouth: "Mu Yunliang's ghost was taken by the Second Heaven Palace. He died unexpectedly, so the Underworld needs to investigate. After treatment, his ghost has recovered some of his sanity. According to him, the person who harmed him came from the gate... The only one who could do this is Situ Lin."

"...His purpose should be Mu Yunliang's human skin," my brother interjected.

"There's one more detail we overlooked—do you remember how he asked Old Madam Shen to send his soul off" Jiang Qiyun curled the corner of his lips into a sneer. "Shen Jia Kun Dao, known for his ruthless actions, their sending-off rituals are extremely thorough. They wouldn't give the ghost a chance to return on the seventh day!"

"Tsk tsk... So this Si Tu Lin is incredibly cunning, he managed to keep us all spinning around in circles"

I listened to their words, and the gloom in my heart grew heavier.

He took me to the Chongmo Fort, and since it wasn't time yet, he told me a lot of things.

He spoke about the truth behind the fall of Huang Dao Village. A mage shouldn't talk about politics, but he went on and on, telling me a lot, including some secret top-level decisions.

Mu Yunliang is a spoiled brat from my family. How could he possibly know so much

The Situ family, on the other hand, was a family that dealt with high-level officials. They knew many things that ordinary people didn't know.

"You guys are saying... could it be possible that Situ Lin is Mu Yunliang After all, Mu Yunliang himself said he could separate his soul and create two of himself." I whispered.

This is the result of my careful collection of information and thoughtful analysis.

Who knew my brother gave me a withering look: "Come on, what else would we suspect him of Suspect he's been having an affair with Lily You really are clueless after becoming a mom!"

"He even said he'd come over for dinner! I can’t possibly face that monster! And he said he'd take half the soul from my unborn child!" Just thinking about his sickly green smile sends shivers down my spine.

"It's fine, these are just guesses for now. Before things escalate, we can keep up the charade and see what his true intentions are." My brother was very nonchalant, not afraid at all.

As I was getting ready for bed at night, a ring from my phone startled me. It took me ages to remember it was the special phone Lin Yanhuan had given me, tucked away in my drawer.

The call came in with no caller ID, so I picked it up. Lin Yanhuan’s voice rang out on the other end: “Miss Mu, what time will you be free tomorrow I'll have someone pick you up.”

"Take me Take me to do what"

“I need you to come to my house and… take a look around to see if there’s anything wrong.”

"Okay, give me your address. My brother and I will come over tomorrow to take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Qiyun narrowed his eyes slightly: "Whose phone was this"

"The client said to use this phone to contact him, and that other numbers can't reach him, they get intercepted," I reported honestly, with a smirk.

Nobody expected that Jiang Qiyun's focus wasn't on this, but he coldly asked: "Are you a man"girl...she seems to be pregnant How long until she gives birth Well, our BOSS is tired of them all now. Why don't we lock her up and let her give birth"Holy crap! You recognized me and still dared to...
