Chapter 832 - Started A Fire (1/2)

After over 10 days of resting, Ying could actually manage to walk around without a limp. Well, it wasn't that obvious any longer. However, everyone around her was still very strict regarding her rest. But after persuading for so long, Ying finally managed to tag along with Xiao Li.

When she came to Wen Clan's residence, she was left staring at the scene before her eyes. Through the screen, she could see Liu Nuan's frail figure sitting alone in a dark room. The room wasn't just dark, it was very spacious and very silent as well.

She looked at Xiao Li with a strange look as she asked, ”She has been locked in that room for over 8 days now?”

Xiao Li nodded his head.

”Are you trying to play a psychological game with her? You're trying to numb her senses?”

”Are you feeling bad for her?” retorted Xiao Li.

Ying's words got stuck in her throat. She took a while to say, ”I don't know. I just never thought you could be this cruel to someone. This is one of the worst types of psychological torture. Depriving one's senses. I'm certain you haven't let her sleep for all this while as well. Can she even carry on like this? And even if she did? Wouldn't she become just a paper doll?”

”Every time she sleeps, she is given an electric shock to keep her awake. I think rather than her need to sleep, she is more scared of the fear of that electric shock right now. And I don't think it's cruel at all. Aren't I giving her a proper meal and a roof on her head?”

Ying really felt like she couldn't recognize her best friend at all right now. ”Food? What kind of food are you giving her? The one that doesn't taste like anything?”

”If you're worried about her, get lost!” shouted Xiao Li angrily. ”This isn't my idea. It's my brother's request. He wants to break Liu Nuan mentally just like she did with our sister.”

Although the word 'get lost' had been very common between them, it was the first time, Ying felt like Xiao Li actually meant it. Her words were making him angry and she didn't want to push her luck anymore.

”You mean Ah-Si suggested this all?” she was taken aback. ”He... He is our sweet little brother. How can he suggest this?” She scowled to herself before adding, ”And let's not forget that it's not confirmed that Chen Xiu was your sister.”

”Whether she was or not, doesn't concern you,” retorted Xiao Li. ”And what I do with Liu Nuan doesn't concern you either. As I said, get lost!”

While Ying was grumbling unhappily, someone came to tap on Xiao Li's shoulder.

”Master Li, take a look,” said the person who appeared.

Xiao Li took the iPad and scrolled through the news article before frowning at it. ”When did this got uploaded?”

”First thing in the morning,” replied his subordinate. ”Currently, it's the most talked-about topic on the internet.”

”Who is behind it?” he asked while Ying snatched the iPad from his hand to take a look.

”That is currently unknown but whoever it is, that person is well informed.”

Xiao Li's frown deepened, ”Not just well-informed, that person is very eager as well.”

”What do you think is the purpose behind it?”

Xiao Li smirked, ”The purpose is the same here. Someone wants to watch Liu Nuan's destruction.”

”Oi! Who did it?” asked Ying after she thoroughly went through the article and felt like slapping herself for even thinking about pitying Liu Nuan for a split second. She must have gone nuts to feel some humanity for a monster like her. ”Do you have any clue?”

”I have a clue,” replied Xiao Li.

”Really?” Ying was surprised to hear that. ”Who is it?”

Xiao Li gave Ying a look before replying calmly, ”Someone who thinks Chen Xiu needs justice.”

Ying felt like smacking Xiao Li's head for that smug response. Even an idiot could tell that!

”It could also be someone who hates Liu Nuan,” Ying shot back at him.

”It's the same thing,” shrugged Xiao Li.

”Won't you investigate it?” questioned Ying.

”There is nothing to investigate here,” replied Xiao Li. ”Whoever that person is, he only helped me. My plan has gotten a lot easier now. And the next move has to begin now.” He looked at his subordinate with a strange glint in his eyes, ”Let's start the play now.”

”Yes, Sir!”
