Chapter 87: The Cruelest Is the Heart (2)

Fang Mu stood in the living room of his villa with his back facing the door. From the window beside him, he stared at the night outside.

Behind him, two burly men held onto a young man dressed in black.

The young man kept begging for mercy, but Fang Mu did not react at all.

“Mr. Fang, believe me. I really don’t know what’s going on! I don’t really want to offend… Qiao Jiusheng!” Even at this moment, Li Kui still thought to protect Qiao Jiuyin. He was afraid Fang Mu would know the truth that Qiao Jiuyin had replaced Qiao Jiusheng.

The corners of Fang Mu’s cold, hard lips cruelly curled up. He turned around and stared at Li Kui.

When Li Kui saw the man turn around to look at him, he suddenly shut up.

“Li Kui,” Fang Mu said.

Li Kui anxiously looked at him. After a while, he gave up and shouted, “Mr. Fang.”

Li Kui still could not figure out why he became so obsessed that he ran to the Jiang Family’s banquet. He even insulted Qiao Jiuyin in public.

“Why did you do that?” Fang Mu asked.

Li Kui opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say.

Why?

He did not know either.

When he had rushed into the banquet hall, his words and actions had not followed his wishes at all. It seemed as if someone had controlled him and forced him to do those things. He felt as if someone had hypnotized him and ordered him to do something against his heart.

But who would believe such a thing?

Seeing that Li Kui had lost the ability to defend himself, Fang Mu smiled even more coldly.

He squatted down in front of Li Kui and asked, “I have something good here. Do you want to hear it?”

Li Kui’s pupils dilated. “Wh-what?”

Fang Mu’s lips curled up even more.

He opened his personal email on his phone, looked for an audio file, and clicked “play.”

“How can I help you?” A woman’s voice suddenly rang out in the room.

After a moment of silence, another woman’s voice said, “Granny, I heard that you’re an expert in mental treatment.” The owner of this voice was Qiao Jiuyin.

“I’m not an expert. I only know a little.”

“Then, I wonder if you know how to control people’s minds, Granny?”

“Miss, are you kidding? Controlling a person’s mind is not a joke. If anything goes wrong in any of this, the person being controlled will suffer a backlash. In some serious cases, the controlled person would become an idiot for the rest of their life.”

“Granny, recently, a person has been troubling me. He knows many of my secrets, and he even threatened me with those secrets. I want to ask you for a favor. As for the remuneration, anything can be discussed.”

After a moment of silence, the old woman asked, “Who do you want me to control?”

“A man called Li Kui.”

“Control him for what?”

“I want him to do something unforgivable to me in public. I want him to become a madman!”

That was the end of the conversation.

The woman in this audio conversation was undoubtedly Qiao Jiuyin; how could Li Kui not tell that? The audio left him sad and disappointed. He only knew Qiao Jiuyin’s secret, yet she had decided to end his life! Li Kui’s heart twisted into a ball. He felt sadness and pity for his many years of adoration and also despair at his infatuation for Qiao Jiuyin.

Fang Mu still felt complicated when he heard this video again.

If the orchestrator of this plan were not Qiao Jiuyin but someone else, Fang Mu would’ve applauded and praised that person for their actions.

Fang Mu had only given Li Kui a portion of the secret conversation, while he himself had heard the complete version. In the complete conversation, Qiao Jiuyin had committed even worse sins in her conversation with the elderly woman. Showing her ruthlessness, she was ready to give her child to a strange witch doctor.
