Previously, it was heard that Huang Ziqiong had a secret crush on Ye Ze, but Shen Ye didn’t have any feelings about it. Now, it is said that Huang Ziqiong has developed new affection, and Shen Ye, on the contrary, admires this woman a little.

Being pragmatic, it doesn’t seem too foolish.

Shen Ye looked at Huang Ziqiong’s face again.

Her appearance carried a sense of lifelessness, but everything she had done in the past was revealed in Shen Ye’s eyes.

No… although she is not foolish, she is not very clever either…

Before long, Doctor Liu was brought in.

To capture the attention of Miss Huang, a prominent figure in the Huang family, Doctor Liu’s appearance was undoubtedly handsome. He wore black-framed glasses and looked quite refined.

The moment he saw Shen Ye, a hint of surprise and wariness flashed in Doctor Liu’s eyes.

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. “Do you know me?”

“Of course,” Doctor Liu quickly calmed down and said, “You were a celebrity before, then became a master, and gained even more fame online. Of course, I know you.”

Shen Ye smiled faintly. “Is that so? But judging by your appearance, I’m afraid you not only know me but also guard against me, don’t you?”

Doctor Liu quickly denied, “Not at all, I just admire you…”

“You should know my abilities. No one can deceive me,” Shen Ye interrupted him, “Your little tricks are completely insufficient in front of me.”

Doctor Liu’s expression changed, and he fell silent.

Hearing their conversation, Old Mr. Huang was amazed. “Abilities? Does Doctor Liu have abilities? Could he be responsible for my granddaughter’s illness?”

Shen Ye replied, “You could say that.”

Before Old Mr. Huang could speak, Huang Ziqiong’s mother immediately shouted, “Call the police, we must call the police!”

Her daughter lay on the bed, barely alive, and she would never let Doctor Liu get away.

In fact, if it weren’t for Shen Ye and Ye Ze being present, she would have already ordered someone to capture and teach Doctor Liu a lesson.

Even if Doctor Liu knew some tricks, she wasn’t afraid. The Huang family also had connections with some Taoist priests who were quite skilled. They could easily call them to deal with Doctor Liu!

Suddenly, something came to Huang Ziqiong’s mother’s mind, and she stared fiercely at Doctor Liu, saying, “No wonder the Taoist priests we invited before didn’t notice anything wrong with Ziqiong. It must have been you…”

At this point, her expression suddenly stiffened.

If those Taoist priests couldn’t detect anything wrong with Huang Ziqiong, it meant that the skills of the doctor in front of her were even more formidable…

She felt a chill in her heart and immediately turned to Shen Ye, pleading, “Master Shen, you must help our Ziqiong… she is so pitiful, not only deceived by a scum man but also ending up like this…”

The term “scum man” referred to Doctor Liu.

Shen Ye looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “I don’t think your daughter is pitiful at all. She was born into the Huang family and has always had everything she wanted. No one can defy her. Even if she causes trouble and harms others, the Huang family will cover it up for her.”

This statement carried a deeper meaning, and not only Mother Huang but everyone in the Huang family was stunned.

After a while, Old Mr. Huang finally spoke up, “Master Shen, what do you mean?”

He knew the personality of his eldest granddaughter. Although she was a bit arrogant outside, he believed that as a daughter of the Huang family, she had the right to be assertive, so he never thought of restraining her.

Could it be that something happened because of his eldest granddaughter’s actions, which brought about this disaster?

Shen Ye looked at Doctor Liu. “You can explain.”

Doctor Liu already understood that Master Shen had likely figured everything out. He closed his eyes and said, “Yes, it was Huang Ziqiong who caused harm first, which is why I sought revenge on her!”

At these words, the entire room fell silent.

Doctor Liu snorted and was about to continue exposing Huang Ziqiong’s misdeeds.

Suddenly, Shen Ye said, “Wait, let me wake Huang Ziqiong up first, so she can hear what she has done to invite your revenge.”

“Oh,” Doctor Liu, who had been filled with anger, was interrupted by Shen Ye’s words. He was like a deflated balloon, and all his anger dissipated inexplicably.

He didn’t stop Shen Ye from saving Huang Ziqiong because he knew very well that he was no match for Shen Ye.

Shen Ye used seven talismans on Huang Ziqiong’s vital points, just enough to disperse the black energy around her and call back her soul.

He turned back and glanced at Doctor Liu. “You really are ruthless, nailing her soul to the cemetery. If it had been half a month later, even if I could save her, she would have become a fool.”

When the soul is nailed to the place with the heaviest Yin energy, it will be consumed by the surrounding Yin and resentment, and it will disappear completely.

Even if Huang Ziqiong’s living soul returned to her body, she would become a fool.

Doctor Liu gritted his teeth. “She harmed others first, I was just giving her a taste of her own medicine.”

Shen Ye didn’t argue with him and performed another technique on Huang Ziqiong.

Soon, Huang Ziqiong slowly regained consciousness.

Mother Huang immediately rushed over. “Xiao Qiong, you’re awake? How do you feel?”

She had been extremely worried after hearing Shen Ye’s words that her eldest daughter might become a fool, so she carefully observed Huang Ziqiong’s movements.

Huang Ziqiong’s face remained pale, and her eyes were still lifeless, looking somewhat like a fool.

“Can you… can you hear me talking?” Mother Huang’s heart sank, and she asked cautiously.

Huang Ziyao also ran over and held Huang Ziqiong’s hand. “Sister, you’re not becoming a fool, are you?”

Seeing her asking so directly, the members of the Huang family all wore expressions that couldn’t bear to look directly at her.

Compared to Huang Ziqiong, the shrewd elder sister, Huang Ziyao seemed like a naive and innocent girl.

“She’s not a fool,” Shen Ye said a bit speechlessly, explaining, “She just hasn’t recovered, but she can hear you talking.”

Mother Huang let out a big sigh of relief and thanked Shen Ye, “Thank you…”

Before she could finish her words, Shen Ye waved his hand to interrupt her. “I woke her up so that she could hear Doctor Liu’s story and understand the wrongdoings she has committed.”

Mother Huang’s expression wasn’t good. She wanted to refute Shen Ye, believing that her daughter wasn’t the one who had done wrong.

But she didn’t dare to argue with Shen Ye and remained silent in the end.

On the other hand, Huang Ziqiong, who had just woken up, heard the name “Doctor Liu,” and her eyes finally moved, slowly turning towards Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu met her gaze but turned away with disgust. “Five years ago, my sister broke up with her boyfriend because Huang Ziqiong had her eye on him. Huang Ziqiong found her and forced her to break up, threatening her that if she didn’t agree, her whole family would suffer. At first, she refused, of course, so Huang Ziqiong brought people to beat up her parents and ruined her job… During that time, she suffered from severe depression and attempted suicide several times…”

Huang Ziqiong widened her eyes and kept her mouth open, seemingly wanting to say something. Unfortunately, as soon as she tried to speak, she felt a pain in her throat and couldn’t utter a word.

Shen Ye could have used his techniques to relieve her pain and let her speak.

But considering Huang Ziqiong’s domineering personality, Shen Ye believed that if he let her speak, she would definitely fly into a rage. So he did nothing and simply translated for Huang Ziqiong, “She says you’re lying, that you don’t have a sister at all.”

Doctor Liu was stunned and about to speak.

Shen Ye turned to Huang Ziqiong and said, “It’s not his real sister.”

Doctor Liu: “…”

Huang Ziqiong was furious, seemingly scolding Doctor Liu for deceiving her. She struggled to sit up and was planning to beat up Doctor Liu.

Shen Ye: “…”

This Miss Huang’s temper is really explosive.

However, he could also understand that Doctor Liu had been manipulated by his own sister to seek revenge, intentionally deceiving Huang Ziqiong’s emotions and causing her to suffer.

Someone as proud as Huang Ziqiong, how could she tolerate it?

Shen Ye glanced at Huang Ziqiong and said, “There’s nothing to be done. This is what you should bear. After all, you did indeed threaten his sister and nearly drove her to suicide.”

Doctor Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Ye was on his side.

He had been a bit afraid when he saw Shen Ye, fearing that Shen Ye would deal with him.

Either way, he had caused harm to Huang Ziqiong, and he knew that Shen Ye was a person who despised evil. Even if he could understand his motives, he might not approve of his actions.

Fortunately, Master Shen wasn’t angry.

“I’m not on your side,” Shen Ye sensed his thoughts and sneered, “You’re also a fool, being deceived by your own sister.”

Doctor Liu was stunned.

Having heard the whole story, Grandpa Huang couldn’t help but speak up, “Master Shen, can you tell us what really happened?”

When Doctor Liu mentioned that Huang Ziqiong had caused a girl to attempt suicide because she liked a man, Grandpa Huang couldn’t help but wonder if it was true.

After all, his granddaughter did have a very domineering personality…

If it was true, then he couldn’t blame Doctor Liu for seeking revenge.

Although he didn’t pay much attention to the affairs of the younger generation and had always indulged Huang Ziqiong, the Huang family had always been law-abiding citizens. If his granddaughter had done something wrong and someone sought revenge, it was only normal.

But according to Master Shen’s implications, the truth seemed to be different from what Doctor Liu had narrated… So Grandpa Huang couldn’t help but ask.

The rest of the Huang family also perked up their ears.

Shen Ye said, “Your granddaughter did indeed harm the other girl, there’s no denying that.”

Grandpa Huang furrowed his brows, unsure of how to respond.

Shen Ye looked at Doctor Liu again. “But it’s also true that you were manipulated by your own sister.”

Doctor Liu stood frozen, speechless.

“Let’s bring your sister over,” Shen Ye said. “She’s at your house, right? Just now, when Huang’s family went to find you, she even cautioned you to be careful, didn’t she?”

Doctor Liu was stunned for a few seconds before he bitterly smiled, “Master Shen, you’re truly formidable.”

His sister’s name was Yan Yunqing, and indeed, when Huang’s family took him away, Yan Yunqing did caution him to act carefully.

Grandpa Huang immediately instructed the family’s bodyguards, “Bring her here.”

While waiting for Yan Yunqing to arrive, Mother Huang fed Huang Ziqiong some warm water a few times, and Huang Ziqiong felt her throat getting better, finally able to speak.

“Master Shen, I want to defend myself. I did threaten Yan Yunqing to make her leave her boyfriend, but I didn’t ruin her job,” her voice was as unpleasant as a crow’s caw.

However, Shen Ye remained unfazed and casually responded, “I know.”

Huang Ziqiong: “…”

Shen Ye sneered, “But the fact that you threatened her is undeniable, right? Just because you took a liking to her boyfriend, she had to break up with him? Just because you’re Miss Huang, just because your family has power and influence? Who do you think you are, meddling in other people’s relationships, trying to take someone else’s boyfriend? Do you have any shame?”

This series of interrogations not only made Huang Ziqiong’s expression ugly, but the faces of the Huang family also turned pale and green.

Only Doctor Liu became happier the more he listened.

Master Shen and he were thinking alike.

Indeed, why could Huang Ziqiong casually threaten Yan Yunqing and her boyfriend? Just because the Huang family and Huang Ziqiong were privileged?

Although the Huang family held a higher social status, in the eyes of the law, everyone was equal… Well, regardless, Huang Ziqiong’s threat to Yan Yunqing was simply unjust.

He knew that this world was filled with a lot of injustice, and behind the scenes, there were certainly many perpetrators like Huang Ziqiong and many victims like Yan Yunqing. But so what? He had the ability to stand up for Yan Yunqing, and he was determined to punish Huang Ziqiong.

According to Huang Ziqiong’s logic, the Huang family was superior, so she could threaten Yan Yunqing.

Then, with his mastery of techniques, surpassing these ordinary people from the Huang family, why couldn’t he take action?

Shen Ye casually glanced at him, sensing his thoughts, and said indifferently, “If things were that simple, then you wouldn’t be at fault either.”

Doctor Liu froze, and his heart sank.

He remembered Shen Ye’s words just now, saying that Yan Yunqing had used him…

On the other side, after hearing Shen Ye’s question, Huang Ziqiong became restless.

She had a hot temper and wanted to argue with Shen Ye, but she realized that she had indeed used her status and position to threaten Yan Yunqing, so she felt a bit guilty.

It was Grandpa Huang who spoke up and said, “Master Shen, rest assured, since it was my granddaughter who did something wrong, I will definitely punish her.”

To be honest, Grandpa Huang was groomed to be the head of the Huang family from birth, and he had a proud and assertive personality, which was why he indulged Huang Ziqiong. But his granddaughter had driven another girl to attempt suicide several times, and that was ultimately her fault. Therefore, he made up his mind to discipline his granddaughter to prevent her from making even bigger mistakes in the future.

Moreover, with Master Shen present, he couldn’t favor Huang Ziqiong.

Huang Ziqiong glared at Doctor Liu with dissatisfaction and said, “But he also deceived me and almost killed me… Shouldn’t he be punished?”

Doctor Liu didn’t argue with her and just looked at her with disdain.

Huang Ziqiong rolled her eyes in anger and said, “Master Shen, look at the way he’s looking at me! He approached me actively, and I thought he looked good, so I agreed to be with him. After we started dating, he was so affectionate and called me his princess… And now he’s turning his back on me, treating me like garbage! Look at him, he’s a real drama king! I refuse to accept this! What does it have to do with him, the grudges between me and Yan Yunqing? Why does he have the right to deceive my feelings?!”

As she spoke, her throat was sore, and she paused several times.

Mother Huang lovingly fed her water several times.

Shen Ye said, “…You should take care of your throat first.”

He still didn’t relieve Huang Ziqiong’s throat pain, fearing that she would continue her tirade.

Huang Ziqiong was unwilling and gave Doctor Liu an angry glare, but Grandpa Huang had to step in to stop her. “Alright, Xiao Qiong, you should rest properly. Master Shen understands the situation.”

Understands the situation?

Shen Ye smiled.

He knew that Grandpa Huang was expressing his stance to him: although Huang Ziqiong was at fault towards Yan Yunqing, Doctor Liu had also played with Huang Ziqiong’s feelings and almost caused her harm, so Doctor Liu was certainly at fault too.

“Let’s wait for Yan Yunqing to arrive,” Shen Ye gave an ambiguous answer.

He glanced at Doctor Liu as if he knew something.

Doctor Liu’s expression changed, perhaps feeling guilty and remorseful after being scolded by Huang Ziqiong.

It didn’t take long before Yan Yunqing was brought in.

She was a smart person, and seeing that Huang Ziqiong had already awakened and that the Huang family was present, how could she not guess that her plan had been exposed?

But she remained calm and even greeted Shen Ye, “Master Shen, so it was you who took action. No wonder we failed.”

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow, quite admiring her audacity.

“Now that you’re here, and all parties involved are present, I will explain the whole story,” Shen Ye didn’t wait for others to speak and began narrating.

Five years ago, Huang Ziqiong set her sights on Yan Yunqing’s boyfriend at the time and threatened Yan Yunqing to leave. Huang Ziqiong threw a check at Yan Yunqing, giving her a choice between money or a person. If she chose the person, she would lose both money and love. Yan Yunqing considered and chose the money, willingly leaving her boyfriend.

At this point, Yan Yunqing added, “Miss Huang Ziqiong also threatened me at the time. If I didn’t agree to her conditions, she would harm my family.”

Everyone turned to look at Huang Ziqiong.

Huang Ziqiong shrunk back her neck and muttered, “I… I was just scaring you…”

“But you were very imposing at the time and brought so many bodyguards. How was I supposed to know if you were just scaring me or really intending to harm my family?” Yan Yunqing retorted.

Feeling guilty, Huang Ziqiong chose to remain silent.

Shen Ye said, “…”

This Miss Yan Yunqing is really something. No wonder she could manipulate Doctor Liu…

“Don’t interrupt,” he glared at Yan Yunqing unhappily and continued revealing the truth.

After receiving the money and breaking up with her boyfriend, Yan Yunqing was deeply resentful but never considered suicide. She couldn’t swallow her anger and always wanted to retaliate against Huang Ziqiong.

It was during this time that she met Doctor Liu.

Doctor Liu was intelligent, good-looking, and kind-hearted. Yan Yunqing accidentally discovered that he knew medical techniques, so she had the idea of using Doctor Liu for revenge.

She pretended to attempt suicide to get close to Doctor Liu. Upon learning about her ordeal, Doctor Liu sympathized with her. He not only bandaged her wrists where she had harmed herself but also introduced her to a psychologist once her wounds had healed.

Yan Yunqing didn’t have any psychological illness, but she pretended well. Later, she attempted suicide a few more times, completely arousing Doctor Liu’s protective instincts.

All the subsequent plans were under Yan Yunqing’s control. Doctor Liu confessed his feelings to her, and she claimed that she couldn’t let go of the fear instilled by Huang Ziqiong’s threats. She jokingly said that if Doctor Liu ever caught Huang Ziqiong’s attention, what would he do? Doctor Liu genuinely liked her and asked how he could let go. She playfully suggested that maybe stealing Huang Ziqiong’s boyfriend once would make her let go.

Doctor Liu took those words as a serious suggestion.

He began approaching Huang Ziqiong and then seducing her, deceiving her into being with him. After a few months, when Huang Ziqiong became more attached to him, he planned to confront her and make her realize that she had been deceived.

In this way, he would achieve his revenge against Huang Ziqiong.

However, Yan Yunqing wasn’t satisfied with just that. She wanted Huang Ziqiong to taste even more pain!

So she stopped Doctor Liu’s actions and lied, saying that Huang Ziqiong had approached her again, threatening her life.

Doctor Liu understood medical techniques, so logically, he should have been able to tell if Yan Yunqing was lying with just a slight probe. However, he loved Yan Yunqing too much. His love for her was mixed with pity and sympathy for her experiences, and he completely trusted Yan Yunqing without any suspicion.

Of course, to reward Doctor Liu for his efforts, Yan Yunqing agreed to live together with him. This was also the reason why Doctor Liu became more deeply involved.

Later, Yan Yunqing mentioned Huang Ziqiong’s domineering behavior and reminded Doctor Liu that she had been forced to attempt suicide by Huang Ziqiong in the past. Doctor Liu became increasingly dissatisfied with Huang Ziqiong, especially considering her arrogant attitude. Doctor Liu developed the idea of eliminating harm for the sake of the public.

A few days ago, Yan Yunqing learned that Huang Ziqiong was seriously ill, and she was overjoyed. She gratefully thanked Doctor Liu, making him feel that he had done the right thing.

Shen Ye recounted the whole story in a cold manner and then coldly glanced at Doctor Liu. “You know what? You’re an idiot. Yan Yunqing is not honest. She used you, and she even made you wear a cuckold’s hat! No… wait, it’s not you who wore the cuckold’s hat, but her boyfriend… You probably don’t know, but she reconciled with her former boyfriend a long time ago and even had a son with him. After that, she promised to be with you without breaking up with her boyfriend… Tsk, I’m not sure if you were the one who wore the cuckold’s hat for her boyfriend, or if her boyfriend wore it for you.”

Since entering the room, Doctor Liu had maintained a calm and composed demeanor.

It wasn’t until he heard Shen Ye’s words that he couldn’t believe it and exclaimed, “It’s impossible!”

His chest rose and fell intensely as he looked at Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing locked eyes with him for a few seconds, her mouth twitching as if she wanted to argue. But after glancing at Shen Ye, she ultimately didn’t say anything. She just lowered her head, avoiding Doctor Liu’s gaze.

But her attitude clearly indicated that Shen Ye hadn’t spoken falsely.

Doctor Liu’s eyes turned red with anger.

Shen Ye stroked his chin, carefully observing his face. “You’re so smart, yet you were played by this woman like a fool… Is this the power of love?”

Doctor Liu didn’t want to speak; he lowered his head, lost in his thoughts.

Shen Ye changed the topic and said, “Have you never had your fortune told? Did you never consider that there might be a rotten peach blossom in your destiny, casting a shadow over your whole life?”

Doctor Liu murmured, “I only understand medical techniques. I’m not very good at fortune-telling…”

No wonder he was deceived by Yan Yunqing.

Yan Yunqing glanced at Doctor Liu, clearly feeling somewhat guilty. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

Shen Ye waved his hand. “Don’t say anything for now, or else I’ll give you a hard time.”

Yan Yunqing obediently closed her mouth, feeling wronged.

With everything revealed, it all became clear.

This was a mess of a situation.

Shen Ye scanned the people in the room and said, “Let’s analyze this situation. The root cause of all this was Huang Ziqiong’s arrogant and domineering personality. If she hadn’t used her status to threaten Yan Yunqing, she wouldn’t have had the near-death experience… She brought this revenge upon herself.”

That’s why he felt that Huang Ziqiong, although not stupid, was not intelligent either.

Everything she suffered was of her own making.

Even the Huang family members remained silent, not saying a word.

After all, Master Shen had not spoken falsely. Huang Ziqiong faced revenge because she had initially done something wrong.

Even Mother Huang, who loved her eldest daughter the most, despite wanting to tear Doctor Liu and Yan Yunqing apart, did not refute it.

“However, even though she threatened Yan Yunqing, she didn’t interfere with Yan Yunqing’s work. Moreover, Yan Yunqing willingly accepted the check at that time… So she definitely isn’t guilty to the point of death. But the fact that her soul was almost consumed by negative energy and almost turned her into an idiot… that was definitely the fault of Yan Yunqing and Doctor Liu.”

Huang Ziqiong immediately became spirited. “Yes, actually, if Yan Yunqing had chosen her boyfriend in the first place, I wouldn’t have forced her to break up. I am the young miss of the Huang family, I can have any man I want. Why would I compete with other women for a man? Besides, her boyfriend was like Ye Ze back then, just someone I planned to play around with.”

Throughout the whole process, Ye Ze had remained silent, but upon hearing his name…

His gaze grew heavy, coldly sweeping over Huang Ziqiong.

Huang Ziqiong felt a chill run down her spine. “Mr. Ye, I was wrong! I stopped liking you a long time ago! I swear to the heavens!”

She was originally a proud person and knew that Ye Ze had no interest in her. She didn’t want to waste her time…

Shen Ye gently held Ye Ze’s hand. “Uncle, she’s just an idiot. Let’s not bother with her.”

Ye Ze replied with a faint “Hmm.”

Shen Ye raised his finger and pointed at Huang Ziqiong. “You’re not allowed to mention my man again, or else you’ll regret it.”

Huang Ziqiong immediately made a gesture of zipping her own mouth shut.
