as like she'd heard it before, at her wedding to Lu Hanchuan.But what are they sayingWhat makes an assistant send money while alleviating guiltAnd... Who is Qi YaHow could she possibly not know all of...Seeing her helplessness, he changed the subject, hoping she could relax and not overthink things.

He is really a very good man, better than Lu Hanchuan.

But.... she doesn't love him!

She was destined to pay for his sins.

"Xiaoyao, why are you still standing there Hurry up." Shao Sini, who reached the villa's entrance, turned back to see Fu Xiaoyao still rooted in place. She seemed lost in thought, her expression carrying a hint of guilt.

Fu Xiaoyao heard his voice, rubbed her cheeks, and after slightly adjusting her emotions, she replied, "Here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she followed him.

After the two entered the villa, Shao Sian pressed a button on a wall in the living room.

Then Fu Xiaoyao saw the wall beside the button suddenly flip, revealing a passage.

She raised an eyebrow in surprise, "This is actually a back door"

"Right That's pretty creative, isn't it" Shao Si Nian smiled at her, revealing a row of white teeth.

Fu Xiaoyao propped her chin, "Creativity, yes, but it's also a bit earthy. I really didn't expect you to like this kind of design style."

"No way, this is just safer. After all, very few people would think to design such an antique mechanism door in their own villa nowadays."

"You just said, insurance some, in the basement, is there anything" Fu Xiaoyao asked curiously.

Shao Sini nodded. "There are many priceless medical specimens in the basement, passed down for generations. You could say the basement is a warehouse specifically for storing these specimens."

Fu Xiaoyao suddenly realized, "Oh, I see. So that's how it is. You locked Dr. Liu in the basement, aren't you afraid he'll destroy those specimens"

"It's fine, your people have him tied up tight, right" Shao Sinian waved his hand dismissively.

"Well, since you put it that way, shall we go down now"

She pointed to the passage behind the wall.

Shao Si Nian hummed and turned on the lights in the passage. "Come on, follow me, don't look around, I'm afraid those specimens will scare you."

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyao suddenly thought of something, rubbed her bare arms, "Could it be a human specimen"

"Yes," Shao Sian answered her seriously. "There are two. Besides this one, there are some human organ specimens and various animal dissection specimens."

"Hiss..." Fu Xiaoyao gasped, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes, "Your basement is really..."

"Scared" Shao Sini stopped and turned to look at her.

Fu Xiaoyao's small face was strained. "Well, a little bit, I guess. After all, living people are a little wary of those things, so I don't understand why you would lock Dr. Liu in the basement."

“That’s why he won’t run away. He’s a psychiatrist and a master hypnotist. Anyone who comes into contact with him will be easily hypnotized by him, and then he’ll let them go. But here, he won’t. Your two subordinates are afraid of this place and dare not come in, so there’s no need to worry about him hypnotizing anyone.” Shao Sian replied seriously.

Fu Xiaoyao's mouth twitched constantly, "Your explanation is pretty impressive, but I'm also afraid of those specimens. Hearing what you just said, I don't dare to go in either."

"It's fine, the display cabinets where we keep specimens all have curtains. I'll pull one up in a moment, and you won't be able to see." Shao Sian said.

Fu Xiaoyao sighed, "I'll definitely never come to your villa again next time."

"Haha, it's my fault. I didn't explain things clearly to you beforehand. When you asked me where the safest place to hold someone was, I immediately thought of here."

"Alright, quickly pull the curtains shut. I'll go in after you." Fu Xiaoyao pushed his back.

Shao Siniang responded repeatedly and went to pull the curtain, while Fu Xiaoyao stood alone on the corridor waiting.

After about two or three minutes, Shao Si Nian came back and gave her an OK gesture. Only then did she resume her steps and walk towards him.

Finally entered the basement.

Fu Xiaoyao looked around and found that the basement was particularly large, at least over a hundred square meters. It was draped with red curtains on all sides, concealing the entire basement.

She knew that behind those curtains, should be the specimens Shao Sian had mentioned.

Although she was behind the curtain, she couldn't see the specimens, but as soon as she thought about them, she could almost imagine how terrifying they looked.

She shivered, Fu Xiaoyao hurriedly threw those images out of her mind and asked the man beside her, "Where's that Dr. Liu"

"Here." Shao Sinian pointed to the corner.

Fu Xiaoyao followed her gaze and saw a person tied to a chair, with a cloth stuffed in their mouth.

She was startled.

Shao Si Nian hurried to ask, "What's wrong"

Fu Xiaoyao looked at the person in the corner, a few beads of cold sweat slid down her temple, “It’s so strange, I just didn’t see him.”

Hearing this, Shao Sian laughed, “That’s normal. He’s always had a low presence.”

"Huh" Fu Xiaoyao was taken aback, then took a deep breath to steady herself before sizing up the so-called Dr. Liu.

Dr. Liu, like Shao Sinian, wore a white coat. But it wasn't just the coat; he was completely white from head to toe.

Besides, his complexion was very pale, his skin without any blood color. But his features were unremarkable, just ordinary. The only thing that stood out was his pair of eyes.

His pupils were faintly gray, narrowed slightly, as he stared at her intently.

His eyes were still very deep, like a black hole, as if they could suck you in.

Fu Xiaoyao felt a little dizzy, she didn't know why, her steps were still uncontrollably walking towards him.

But she had only taken two steps when her arm was grabbed by Shao Sinian.

Shao Si Nian pulled her back with one hand and covered her eyes with the other, "Xiao Yao."

Hearing his voice, Fu Xiaoyao shivered and instantly sobered up. She recalled her actions just now, and a chill ran down her spine. "I just..."

"You were hypnotized by him." Shao Sian said in a heavy voice.

Fu Xiaoyao's eyes widened, "Hypnotized"

"Yes." Shao Siniang nodded, and at the same time did not forget to glare fiercely at Dr. Liu in the corner.

Fu Xiaoyao swallowed nervously, "Am I hypnotized already"

She couldn't quite believe it.

Shao Si Nian loosened his hand covering her eyes, "That's right, I told you before, he has a high talent in psychology and hypnosis, so don't look into his eyes. Hypnosis is often mediated by the hypnotist's eyes."

After hearing Shao Sian's explanation, Fu Xiaoyao sighed with relief. "I understand."

"Well, just don't look him in the eyes and we'll be fine. Let's go over there and ask him what's going on." Shao Si Nian patted her shoulder.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response and followed him to the doctor Liu.

Because she had just been hypnotized, Fu Xiaoyao was still a little afraid and didn't speak up. It was Shao Si Nian who took the towel out of Dr. Liu's mouth and helped her ask Qi Yaya about bribing Dr. Liu.

But after asking around, Dr. Liu was very stubborn and didn't say a single word. He just glared at Fu Xiaoyao and Shao Sian with venomous eyes.

Shao Si Nian was helpless, "He refuses to say."

Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, lest she accidentally meet Dr. Liu's gaze and be hypnotized again.

"Can you use force" she asked coldly.He regretted being too stubborn and not listening to Fu Xiaoyao's advice to stay with his grandfather after the surgery.I regret not being more vigilant in my heart, which allowed Qi Ya to scheme agai...
