Chapter 1405: Chapter 1405: Utterly Cold

"How did it go?"

Lin Caisang hurried over upon seeing this.

"Send her back first."

Sui Zimo said, glancing sideways at Madam Chen, who lay unconscious on the ground.

"That’s easy to handle."

Lin Caisang immediately summoned Hongjin and Hongyin to come over and help Madam Chen back.

"Grand Old Master Chen, you should be clear about your family’s affairs, shouldn’t you?"

After Madam Chen was led away, Sui Zimo approached Grand Old Master Chen and, with a cold gaze, asked him.

"This..."

Grand Old Master Chen stood there with a full face of embarrassment, unsure whether to advance or retreat.

Even if he knew, this matter concerned the reputation of the Chen Family; how could he possibly speak of it?

The women of the house were thoughtless, bringing a great deal of trouble home, but he was not yet at the point of understanding everything. He knew what needed to be said and what secrets needed to be kept well hidden.

"Since Grand Old Master Chen is unwilling to speak, we naturally won’t force you to tell the truth. When Madam Chen wakes up, we’ll investigate again, and we’ll surely find some clues."

Lin Caisang saw the hesitancy on his face and chuckled lightly.

Thus, the two of them returned to their own rooms, leaving Grand Old Master Chen and Grand Old Madam Chen standing there alone.

...

"What do you think?"

Sui Zimo poured a cup of tea for Lin Caisang, and then they both sat down opposite each other.

"Do you think that Madam Chen was controlled by something just now?" Lin Caisang asked him.

"Mhm."

Sui Zimo nodded his head.

"Were you scared?" he asked her gently.

He knew the young lady feared neither heaven nor earth, except for those things.

"Of course I wasn’t scared, it’s just..."

Lin Caisang pursed her lips; she hadn’t been raised to be easily frightened, so how could she be scared so easily?

Furthermore, she had her Brother Molian here, what could possibly happen to her? She could just watch calmly from the side.

"It’s just what?"

Sui Zimo looked at her and asked.

Lin Caisang gazed at Sui Zimo, agreeing with the conclusion he had just made, but...

"You’re right, Madam Chen must have been controlled by something, but... I didn’t sense any aura from Madam Chen just now, not at all."

"You mean..."

Sui Zimo raised an eyebrow, his gaze on Lin Caisang darkening slightly.

"When fighting with Madam Chen just now, her body also felt completely cold; could it be this is not a coincidence either?"

About pharmacology and such, he wasn’t knowledgeable, but even if a person was controlled, they must still breathe, and they would have body temperature, right?

Yet Madam Chen, as he felt her just now, seemed like a true corpse!

"Where are there so many coincidences in this world?" Lin Caisang laughed softly, looking at Sui Zimo.

"Previously outside Wuzhu Forest, you mentioned that when Madam Chen was with her maid, you only sensed one person’s aura, right? I suspect that among the two of them, only one is alive, and the other..."

Is either one of the Ghost Clan or simply a dead body.

But if there was no skill of the Ghost Clan, how could a dead body be preserved so long, still able to move around, able to ride a carriage and bring them to the Chen Residence?

Therefore, the matters of the Chen Residence must be related to people from other clans.

"That maid, is she one of the Ghost Clan?"

Sui Zimo’s question was suggestive, but both of them were already utterly certain in their hearts.
