Chapter 74 Cold-hearted
Just as Liao Jing was about to explode, Lin Fengmu and his group rushed over.
He was surrounded by many people, including Ye Xuanmin, Du Yuan, and Qin Zhao.
There were also teammates that Yu Yao had never met in this life, but who the original owner of the body had dealt with a lot in the previous life.
In short, most of them were people Yu Yao knew.
"Little Fish, what's wrong?"
Without any hesitation, Lin Fengmu went straight to Yu Yao's side.
He asked in a low voice, his voice filled with deep concern.
Yu Yao calmly shook her head, saying nothing and showing no other emotion.
Liao Jing's expression changed slightly; she recognized Lin Fengmu and Ye Xuanmin.
I knew they were important figures from Kyoto.
Especially when she saw how Lin Fengmu cared about Yu Yao, she felt even more resentful.
But I managed to control some of my emotions.
She forced herself to be patient, but couldn't help but speak with malicious slander.
“Something very important has gone missing from the safe zone, and we need to take all the spatial ability users to investigate! But she's too guilty to go. Mr. Lin, please persuade her! We're just investigating, we have no malicious intent.”
Watching her deliver a performance-driven accusation.
Ye Xuanmin moved his head slightly out of curiosity, his eyes filled with amusement and a very subtle schadenfreude.
"Oh? Is that so? What's missing that warrants such a big fuss, risking offending a valuable space ability user like Xiaoyu? Besides, even if Xiaoyu went with you, so what? If a space ability user is determined to hide something, how would you know what's in their space?"
Her seemingly honest but actually provocative words successfully reignited Liao Jing's anger.
If she could, her eyes would probably have already burned with raging flames, turning Yu Yao into ashes!
"Does a precious space-age ability user have to be so arrogant and lawless? People who know us will investigate, but those who don't will think we're going to cut her flesh off! Also, someone in our safe zone has awakened the ability to see through things, so they can see the items in the space of space-age ability users. Whether she stole anything or not, they'll know with one look. What's there to be afraid of!"
She spoke lightly, but Jiang Yi found it strange and couldn't help but raise his hand to ask a question.
"Wait a minute, you said someone awakened the ability to see through objects and can see what's happening inside the space of a spatial ability user?"
Liao Jing glanced at him and nodded emphatically.
"Correct!"
Jiang Yi asked again, "So what if he saw it? How can we prove whether what he said is true or false? What if he just blurts out some lie and says that our Xiao Qi has that important thing you're talking about in her space? Wouldn't our Xiao Qi be completely unable to explain herself then? Who can we turn to for justice then? Hmm?"
He blinked his clean, beautiful eyes, looking at Liao Jing with a thirst for knowledge.
Liao Jing's face flushed as she looked at him.
"No, our people wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, he has no grudge against Miss Yu. Why would he slander her?"
Jiang Yi clicked his tongue.
"What you're saying is less believable than me saying I've had a crush on you for a long time."
"you!!"
Liao Jing was about to lose her temper again.
But then Ye Xuanmin said from the side, "What this young man said makes sense. Miss Liao, how about this? We have a hypnotist in our team whose special ability is hypnosis. Let her hypnotize Xiaoyu in public and ask her a question, and that will solve the problem. Once hypnotized, she can't lie."
After saying that, she cast a cryptic glance at Liao Jing, who was looking at her with surprise.
He quickly looked away, then turned to Yu Yao, and even winked at her "secretly".
It's as if it's saying, "Don't be afraid, I'll help you!"
Yu Yao frowned.
"A self-proving trap? Why should I fall into it?"
She stared calmly at Ye Xuanmin.
"They're all people who have ill intentions towards me, ganging up to smear me. Am I just supposed to stand there and take it all?"
As she spoke, she looked at Liao Jing again.
"You think you can just take me away with a vague explanation that I lost something? Well, let me add that the bag containing the crystal cores went missing after I met Miss Liao. Miss Liao, would you like to explain?"
Liao Jing roared angrily.
"You are so slanderous!"
Yu Yao chuckled: "You're allowed to spout nonsense, but I'm not? Besides, Miss Liao, who are you? What position do you hold in the safe zone? Can you give me a straight answer? If you can't, then please let someone qualified come to me. Otherwise, I will treat it as spreading rumors."
Innocence can never be fully proven.
Today they can accuse Yu Yao of stealing, and tomorrow they can accuse her of murder.
If someone wants to harm another person, they can come up with endless reasons and excuses.
In this situation, turning the tables is the best approach.
Some people, when they feel guilty, will reveal everything.
As Yu Yao spoke, Liao Jing's expression began to change.
Before Ye Xuanmin could say anything more, Yu Yao turned her head slightly and looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Hyunmin, what kind of hypnotist is your friend? He's clearly a psychoanalyst. What does he want to control me for? Hmm?"
She smiled faintly, but Ye Xuanmin's expression changed.
"Little Fish, what nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly harm you!"
Chi Heng looked at her and said, "Don't you know whether Xiao Qi is talking nonsense or not?"
Ye Xuanmin gasped in surprise, then frowned and stared at Chi Heng disapprovingly.
“Mr. Chi, I know you’re worried about Xiaoyu, but you can’t just openly smear someone like this, can you? This won’t clear Xiaoyu’s name; instead, it will make people think you’re unreasonable and bullying others. Why do this?”
Chi Heng stared straight at Ye Xuanmin, and when he spoke, his voice seemed to be filled with ice.
"Throw mud at me? You don't deserve it."
Those few words made Ye Xuanmin's face turn even uglier. He stared wide-eyed in disbelief and exclaimed, "How could you say such a thing!"
Faced with her sudden loss of composure and her blustering but cowardly rebuttal.
Chi Heng's brows furrowed even more, and his gaze toward her was even colder and more menacing than when he had looked at Liao Jing.
He really intended to kill him.
"Ever since you appeared, I have been hearing a seductive voice constantly trying to make me hate Xiao Qi and hurt her."
He spoke softly, his gaze slowly shifting from Ye Xuanmin to the long-haired woman beside her.
"Is that you?"
The woman trembled in terror, and just as she was about to say something, she was swept away by a gust of wind and brought to Chi Heng's feet.
"Lingling!" Ye Xuanmin screamed, yelling, "What are you doing!"
He had just finished shouting and was about to run over to help the woman named Lingling up.
But she found that an invisible wall of wind had risen up in front of her, completely blocking her way.
She was a dual-elemental power user of wind and fire, but she had no way to deal with it.
Ye Xuanmin's face paled involuntarily, and she couldn't help but look to Lin Fengmu for help.
"Feng Mu, please help Lingling! She's innocent!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmu remained remarkably indifferent to both Chi Heng's sudden attack and Ye Xuanmin's request.
He looked at the woman who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, unable to move and only able to scream, with a coldness that surpassed even that of looking at a dead person.
"She's not innocent, because I often hear similar comments..."
One sentence left Ye Xuanmin dumbfounded and speechless.
Little did she know that the supernatural abilities she and Bo Ling were so proud of, which they considered powerful and secretive, were actually quite powerful.
In the presence of someone with strong willpower, it is at most just noise with no known source.
Aside from being annoying, it serves no practical purpose whatsoever.
Moreover, this superpower that can only manipulate minds was presented to Lin Fengmu.
It's really a bit ridiculous.
Lin Fengmu was able to endure for so long simply because he wanted to see what the other party was up to.
But now that Ye Xuanmin has set his sights on Yu Yao, Lin Fengmu is no longer willing to tolerate it.
He looked at Bo Ling and asked emotionlessly, "So it was you who led me to hate Xiao Yu?"
"Why do you?"
"how dare you?"
Faced with Lin Fengmu's three consecutive questions, Bo Ling didn't know whether she had been scared out of her wits by Chi Heng or by Lin Fengmu.
He stammered, "I...I...it wasn't me. Xuanmin said that girl always uses her brother's relationship with you to pester you and even has designs on you, so she told me..."
"Shut up! Bo Ling! Shut up!!!"
Ye Xuanmin's sharp scream interrupted Bo Ling's words.
But Bo Ling only paused for a moment before continuing, "Let me give you a hint: don't fall for her, and you still want... uh... heh... heh..."
Bo Ling's eyes, which weren't particularly large to begin with, widened instantly, as if she had seen something she couldn't believe.
In her pupils, Ye Xuanmin's reflection was still in the waving gesture.
That usually gentle and composed face, rarely showing any signs of distress, was now filled with disbelief, tension, and fear.
There was even a subtle sense of relaxation and relief mixed in with it.
Ye Xuanmin... is still the same Ye Xuanmin...
After a fleeting thought, Bo Ling was plunged into eternal darkness.
