Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Chess Piece

Xiahou Yi, upon seeing this, didn’t respond to him but simply stared with an icy gaze and coldly threw out another question, "Then tell me, where exactly did you learn all this from?"

"..."

It was like a thunderbolt out of the blue.

Xiahou Jingmu immediately became so silent that he couldn’t utter a single sound.

Xiahou Yi continued, "Was it your father Xiahou Maoqing?"

Xiahou Jingmu: "!!!!"

Completely drained of color.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yi let out a heavy sigh, no longer wanting to utter a word.

This great-nephew of his was actually good in many ways, but he was too easily swayed and, moreover, he lacked vigilance towards the people around him.

And Xiahou Yi had known this since the moment he had picked him out.

"Old Zhong, go and bring his father here. Tonight, I will make him see clearly the kind of deception he has fallen for," Xiahou Yi ordered.

The old butler showed a look of joy at this time and immediately agreed before going out.

As things had developed to this point, if they could verbally pull back this misled person, that would certainly be preferable – no need for a showdown, no need for innocent blood to be shed.

The old butler left.

Xiahou Yi stayed in the sickroom, waiting.

However, it was only about ten minutes later that he suddenly heard the sound of Xiahou Jingmu’s mobile phone ringing. Jingmu, sitting in a wheelchair and also waiting in the room, picked up his phone and looked at it, and his face changed.

"What happened?" Xiahou Yi, keenly observant, immediately asked.

But Xiahou Jingmu ignored him.

He just asked to be pushed out of the sickroom. After a moment, to Xiahou Yi’s surprise, Jingmu even had the door to the sickroom locked from the outside.

"Xiahou Jingmu, what are you doing? You curse, haven’t you understood anything after all I’ve said?" Xiahou Yi roared as he saw what was happening from inside the sickroom.

However, there was no response.

The departing Xiahou Jingmu just gave him a cold glance before being wheeled away quickly.

Xiahou Yi: "..."

The man who had felt so confident a moment ago suddenly felt a cold sweat breaking out on his palms.

Had some emergency arisen?

--

The next day.

The psychiatric hospital.

When Yin Hehe finally opened her eyes from the warm cocoon of her blankets, she saw a tall, straight figure already dressed and neat in the sickroom.

"Sheng Siyuan, you’re going alone?" she noticed and instantly sprang up in bed, startled.

The man, who was adjusting his cuffs by the window, turned to look at her. When he saw the woman hurriedly sitting up from the bed, her blanket falling without her noticing, revealing much of her body, his Adam’s apple bobbed...

"What? Mrs. Sheng hasn’t had her fill yet?"

"!!!!" Yin Hehe, who was slow to realize, immediately grabbed the blanket to cover her front.

This bastard, he still had the mood to look at this at such a time.

"Where are you going?" she demanded.

"To Chongzhou," he admitted openly this time.

Yin Hehe’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she stood up again, clutching the blanket.

However, as soon as she did, she felt a ripping pain from a certain part of her body, and immediately she was forced to fall back down.

"Then... what about me?" she was so frustrated she was nearly in tears.

The man, seeing her like this, couldn’t help but want to laugh, but to spare himself from having to kneel on durians later, he held it in.

"Don’t rush, hear me out," he said.

He came over, wrapped her and the blanket together into his embrace, and then reached out to smooth her messy hair behind her ear.

"I didn’t want to get you involved in danger, but you were right about one thing—I can’t always be the one to collect my own corpse. So, if you’re willing, I’d like you to stay in the capital city."

"The capital city?"

Yin Hehe was delighted to hear him agree to let her stay.

But why the capital city still?

"Yes, the capital city. You might not know, but just at dawn, Xiahou Jingmu’s parents suddenly disappeared."

Sheng Siyuan grimly announced such astonishing news with a frown.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

Xiahou Jingmu’s parents could actually disappear? Wasn’t the capital under his control now? How could his parents still go missing?

Yin Hehe’s eyes widened as she looked at the man before her.

The man spread his hands: "I didn’t do it. If I had, I wouldn’t be telling you in this tone."

Yin Hehe: "..."

This was even more horrifying.

If it wasn’t this man’s doing, and it certainly wasn’t Xiahou Yi—the old man was still lying in the hospital.

So...

"I’ve actually had a premonition that Xiahou Jingmu is not a very smart person. How did he manage to seize control of the entire capital in such a short span of time?"

"..."

Yin Hehe was literally at a loss for words.

All she felt was a chill all over her body, making her tremble even under the blankets.

"What’s wrong? Cold? Then let’s get you dressed first," the man holding her noticed.

He didn’t even continue discussing the serious matter at hand and instead grabbed some clothes to help Yin Hehe get dressed.

Yin Hehe felt like crying out of frustration.

"President Sheng, are you really not scared at all? The situation has gotten so serious, how can you still be so flippant?"

She felt the hand that was already reaching in and said with a face as red as if it were dripping blood.

But the man still had a carefree attitude.

"What’s there to be afraid of? It has nothing to do with me. If it comes down to it, our whole family can just emigrate abroad. After all, I’ve already sold my company."

"..."

Okay, he wins!

Yin Hehe finally stopped talking and resigned herself to let him dress her.

"President, there’s news. Xiahou Jingmu received several fingers, apparently from his mother," Xu Guannan, coming from outside, brought such shocking news.

Yin Hehe immediately turned to look at the man.

Yet she found that, in the time it takes to utter a sentence, the man who had just been teasing and joking had turned icy cold, a chill finally rising in his handsome brows and eyes.

"It looks like they’re forcing him to make a move," he said.

"So what do we do now? If Xiahou Jingmu goes all out, you might not be able to fly out of the capital."

"..."

"And about Xiahou Yi, if we don’t get him out of the hospital soon, it’s more likely to be bad news than good," Xu Guannan said urgently from outside.

So, the person who kidnapped Xiahou Jingmu’s parents was actually forcing him to kill Xiahou Yi and the man before her.

Because in the capital, only by eliminating this father and son would nobody stand in the way of that overwhelming power.

"Husband..." Yin Hehe also understood and immediately tightened her grip on the man’s arm as she looked at him.

"Don’t worry," he said.

Thankfully, when he looked at her, his gaze was still as tender and bright.
