“As your father mentioned, this person is motivated by self-interest. So, harming your sister was likely a calculated move.”

Tang Shijun asked, “What could he possibly gain from it?”

“He’s been putting on an act in front of your Tang family, trying to win all of you over. Normally, you should have been influenced by now, but after three years, the Tang family still treats him the same…”

Tang Shijun’s eyes flickered, “Actually, our perception of him has gradually changed. Not long ago, I overheard a conversation between my parents. They were planning to bring him and my sister back to the Tang family to have a clear conversation.”

“But Li Yuhang doesn’t know that,” Gu Qingluan hit the nail on the head.

Tang Shijun nodded.

“Three years is not a short time, and it shows that he has a deep facade and is patient. However, perhaps three years has been his limit. After three years of acting without any visible progress, your sister ceased to be a path to success in his eyes and became an obstacle. Since she’s an obstacle, he decided to eliminate her.”

Tang Shijun shook her head in disbelief, “How could this be? What does he gain from killing my sister? He can’t gain anything good from my family either way.”

“Exactly! He can’t gain anything good from your family, but once your sister is gone, he can seek connections with other women. At that point, even the Tang family won’t be able to trouble him.”

“Scumbag!”

Tang Shijun was furious and was about to go and confront Li Yuhang.

“Wait, I’m telling you this not because I want you to question him because he won’t admit to it.”

Gu Qingluan quickly grabbed her to stop her.

Tang Shijun’s beautiful face was flushed with anger, and her big eyes seemed to be burning with rage. “What should we do then? If he doesn’t admit it, do we have no way to deal with him?”

Gu Qingluan smiled slightly. “That’s why I kept you here.”

Seeing her calm demeanor, Tang Shijun’s restless heart gradually calmed down, “Qingluan, what’s your plan? Tell me, and I’ll do everything I can to help.”

“You will do this… and… in this way…”

She set up a barrier in the room to ensure that no one outside could eavesdrop.

Those who were left outside couldn’t hear a thing happening inside and were growing increasingly anxious.

Li Yuhang’s eyes flicked, and he sneakily glanced at the anxious expressions on Patriarch Tang’s and Madam Tang’s faces. He muttered with concern, “Why is it taking so long? Could something have gone wrong?”

“Don’t jinx it! There won’t be any accidents!” Madam Tang scolded Li Yuhang with a stern look.

Li Yuhang quickly tried to please her, saying, “Of course, I won’t say anything negative. Qiqi will be fine.”

Creak—

The door to the room opened from the inside.

The three of them rushed forward.

“How is it?” Mr. Tang asked.

Gu Qingluan’s expression remained calm, while Tang Shijun had a serious look on her face and didn’t say anything.

“Could it be that the poison isn’t cured?” Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang’s hearts sank, and an ominous premonition welled up within them.

Meanwhile, Li Yuhang secretly rejoiced.

He maintained a composed exterior, not revealing any thoughts, and instead, like Patriarch Tang and Madam Tang, wore a worried expression. “How could this happen? Miss Gu, didn’t you say you could detoxify Qiqi?”

Tang Shijun now felt disgusted whenever she heard Li Yuhang speak. She forcefully restrained her urge to hit him and snapped back, “Gu Qingluan isn’t a miracle worker. Do you think she can do anything and everything?”

“I didn’t mean that. It’s just that Miss Gu just mentioned…”

“The poison has been neutralized, but we found an injury on Miss Tang’s body,” Gu Qingluan interrupted Li Yuhang.

“An injury? Where is it?” Madam Tang anxiously inquired.

Li Yuhang’s eyes briefly displayed a hint of panic.

Could it be?

He was sure he hadn’t…

At this moment, Li Yuhang couldn’t confirm whether he had left any injuries on her or not.

He recalled the confrontation he had with Tang Shijun, where he had seemed to hold her waist….
