Qi Wuyou listened to Xuan Yelan's analysis, and couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes, "It seems that you have figured it out."
Xuan Yelan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smile on his face, and said to Qi Wuyou: "No one knows me better than my wife."
However, Qi Wuyou's expression suddenly changed, and he became serious, "What did Third Uncle say? Your niece really doesn't understand."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stuck out her tongue mischievously and turned to find An Ning.
Xuan Yelan looked at Qi Wuyou's departing back and laughed dumbly, muttering to himself, "He's still just a little kid."
Although Xuan Yemin did not lose his life due to his serious injuries, his current condition is still not optimistic.
He was in a coma for five days before he finally woke up slowly.
Xuan Yemin slowly opened his eyes and his consciousness gradually became clear.
However, the pain in his body was unbearable for him, especially the dull pain from the wound, which made him frown.
Xuan Yemin was furious, his eyes flashing with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said to the maidservant beside him: "Go quickly, call Mangshan over to me!"
Ever since Xuan Yemin fell into a coma, Mangshan has been staying in Prince Yu's Mansion and has not left for a single step.
When the maid came to report that Xuan Yemin wanted to see him, Mangshan nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
He followed the maid silently to Xuan Yemin's bedroom.
When Mangshan stepped into Xuan Yemin's bedroom, Xuan Yemin's voice swept towards him like a gust of wind, with anger and questioning: "Who is it? Who ordered the person who took action?"
Mangshan's eyes were as calm as water, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter, and he responded calmly: "I don't know. I have been staying in Prince Yu's Mansion these days, and that person has not shown up."
Xuan Yemin stared at Mangshan closely, trying to see through his inner thoughts from his eyes.
He couldn't believe what Mangshan said. His intuition told him that Mangshan must know something about the inside story, and it was even possible that he was the one who arranged the assassination.
"You really don't know?" Xuan Yemin's voice was filled with suspicion.
He stared at Mangshan closely, trying to find a flaw in the other's expression.
However, Mangshan's eyes remained calm, as if a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.
"I don't know, maybe it's one of your enemies! After all, you have done a lot of bad things in Tongzhou over the years."
Mangshan's voice was cold and mocking. He seemed to be unconcerned about Xuan Yemin's questioning and even gloated over it.
Xuan Yemin snorted coldly, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
He struggled to get up, but his injuries were too severe. Every movement would involve the wounds, causing him to grimace in pain and sweat pouring down his forehead.
Xuan Yemin was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Mangshan and cursed: "You loser! I gave you so much money, and you have been eating my food and using my things for so many years, and you can't even deal with a small assassin! Do you have any brains?"
His face was full of anger and disappointment, as if Mangshan in front of him was a complete loser.
Mangshan looked at Xuan Yemin coldly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a mocking smile.
He stood up slowly, his tall body looking particularly powerful.
His eyes were like two cold arrows, shooting straight at Xuan Yemin, who was lying motionless on the bed, with undisguised contempt.
"Do you really think I will do my best to protect you? Don't be naive. This is just a deal between us. You pay and I work, but this doesn't mean I am responsible for your life."
Mangshan's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the devil deep in hell.
Every word was like a sharp blade, deeply hurting Xuan Yemin's heart.
Xuan Yemin widened his eyes and looked at Mangshan in disbelief.
"You...how dare you break your promise! Aren't you afraid of my revenge?"
Xuan Yemin said this through gritted teeth, hatred flashing in his eyes.
However, Mangshan laughed nonchalantly, his laughter full of disdain.
“Hahahaha, revenge? Do you think I’m afraid of you? Let me tell you, I don’t care whether you live or die. If you have the ability, feel free to trouble me, but remember, you will bear the consequences at your own risk.”
After saying that, Mangshan turned and left, leaving Xuan Yemin lying alone on the bed, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
Xuan Yemin's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.
However, faced with the current situation, he felt extremely helpless and powerless.
At this moment, he knew that he was on the brink of life and death, and Mangshan became his only lifeline.
Although he was full of dissatisfaction and resentment towards Mangshan, he did not dare to offend him easily.
After all, if he lost Mangshan's support, he would fall into an abyss from which there was no escape.
At this moment, a pair of eyes in the dark were staring at him, trying to take his life.
Therefore, he must not fall out with Mangshan, otherwise once Mangshan leaves, he might be killed immediately, not to mention realizing his great cause.
Therefore, Xuan Yemin had to humbly beg Mangshan to come back.
Fortunately, Mangshan didn't say much, and soon a maid hurriedly took Mangshan back.
Xuan Yemin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then looked towards Mangshan and said, "Then please go check it out. This matter is also considered part of our cooperation."
Mangshan sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Before, you asked me to help you deal with Xuan Yelan, and you promised me something. Now you want me to help you find out who assassinated you, you have to give me something else in exchange."
Xuan Yemin was mentally prepared. He responded calmly, "Sure. Whatever you want, gold, silver, treasures, elixirs, as long as I can give it to you, I will give it to you."
Mangshan left with a wave of his sleeves, leaving behind a sentence: "I'll give you news in three days."
After Mangshan left, Xuan Yemin was still restless. He knew that he could not rely on Mangshan alone. After all, Mangshan's origins were unknown, and although he had been with him for five years, he had never even seen Mangshan's true face.
Xuan Yemin raised his head to look at the beams and whispered, "January."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared beside the bed like a ghost. The person was covered in a black cloak, but surprisingly, she spoke in a cute female voice: "I'm here."
Xuan Yemin's face was terribly gloomy, with anger flashing in his eyes. He stared at the direction where Mangshan left, his teeth chattering. "This damn Mangshan! Send someone to keep a close eye on him. If there is any unusual movement, there is no need to report it, just kill him directly."
