Chapter 542 - 264: Bloody Tragedy Triggered by a Dog-Blood Romance (Part 2)
Su Jiameng listened calmly, secretly casting a glance at Qian Chen, only to find that his eyes remained indifferent, showing no signs of forgiveness or emotion... It made sense; if Qian Yue had been the victim all along, then even if Qian Chen couldn’t forgive him outwardly, his heart would still struggle with emotion.
And even though Qian Yue knew that Jin Baorong’s identity was suspicious, he still insisted on marrying her, without taking precautions and not even conducting basic investigations... If Qian Chen wanted to forgive him, even he wouldn’t be able to justify it to himself!
In the end, Qian Yue was just a young master adored by everyone in the family, freely pursuing whatever he liked without careful thought or consideration. He had a very low sense of crisis! He only cared about his little romance, overlooking much more. Jin Baorong’s identity, though pitiable, was nonetheless dangerous!
If it hadn’t been Qian Yue but someone else, like Qian Chen, even if deeply in love with her, he wouldn’t blindly help her keep secrets. At least a covert investigation would be essential, and in necessary times, seeking elders’ advice is crucial. If possible, perhaps seeking help from parents to cure the loved one’s genetic disease?
Love is indeed a matter of two people, but marriage concerns two families. Qian Yue should have realized that if they had a child, this child would inevitably inherit Jin Baorong’s genes. He envisions everything perfectly now, but has he ever thought about the child’s feelings?
All in all, after the other’s narration, Su Jiameng put away all her compassion, handling the matters officially.
However, placing all the blame on Qian Yue wouldn’t be fair. This point, Su Jiameng understood very clearly.
"So, how did you break free from her control?" Su Jiameng asked as she took out a simple psychic detection device, starting to extract spiritual samples, "From what you say, that woman can seize the opportunity during intimacy to control others’ spirits. If that’s the case, the men she’s been in contact with might all be controlled. You know her ambition; in today’s Blue Spirit Star... heh, I even wonder which high-ranking man she hasn’t laid her hands on..."
"I want to eliminate her, but I am afraid. If she dies and the control doesn’t disappear, that’s a consequence I’m unwilling to see. So the perfect solution is to find the key to unlocking the control or to determine if the control disappears with her death."
Qian Yue looked somewhat desolate and finally said, "I didn’t break it myself; rather... she intentionally lifted the control. She deeply hates me, wanting me to be perpetually immersed in my own mistakes, constantly regretting and blaming myself, feeling worse than death..."
Su Jiameng shook her head with some regret, realizing this trip had indeed been pointless. She hadn’t gleaned any useful information from Qian Yue and instead heard an utterly irksome "love story." Truthfully, Qian Yue was indeed affectionate, and being loved by such a man was quite a blessing; however, he misjudged people, loved the wrong person, and invited a wolf into his house...
Seeing Su Jiameng’s disappointed expression, Qian Yue said, "Sorry, I couldn’t be of help to you..."
"It’s nothing. Anyway, the sample extraction was successful, and I’ll research solutions for the remaining issues." Although Jin Baorong had released the control, the binding spiritual power hadn’t dissipated. With just one thought from Jin Baorong, Qian Yue could be controlled again.
At least the basic goal was achieved, and Su Jiameng’s anger wasn’t too intense. Addressing Qian Yue, she said, "You need to protect yourself well. Once I eliminate Jin Baorong, the Qian Family will need you to come out and take charge..."
However, Jin Baorong harmed those high-ranking men, and it was likely they would direct their anger at the Qian Family once they clear their minds. The attack would surely be swift, and it was uncertain whether Qian Yue’s temperament and ability could withstand it.
Qian Yue’s expression turned bitter, "In my current state, regaining freedom is still uncertain, let alone leading the Qian Family. Plus, I’m aware of my capabilities, very likely incapable of sustaining this situation. If only Qian Chen could return... his character is firm and decisive, and his ability far surpasses mine; he’s the ideal choice."
Su Jiameng questioned, "After experiencing so much and being betrayed, what do you think is the likelihood of Qian Chen coming back?"
Qian Yue’s expression completely darkened, as Su Jiameng stood up and whispered, "Take care of yourself. Only by living can there be endless possibilities in the future. You owe the Qian Family, and you must repay it. Live well..."
After speaking, Su Jiameng made a gesture to Qian Chen, who, though having doubts, chose to comply, chopping Qian Yue on the neck to knock him unconscious. Su Jiameng took the opportunity to infiltrate his brain with telekinesis, leaving a trace, and then took out a memory erasing device to erase Qian Yue’s memories of the hour before and after. The movements were clean, seamless.
The oppressive atmosphere when using telekinesis made Qian Chen frown slightly, and seeing her take out the memory-erasing device—such a forbidden tool—his expression subtly cracked. After finishing everything, Su Jiameng clapped her hands and stood up, saying to him, "Let’s go. Someone will come over soon."
They wiped away all traces of themselves when leaving, exiting the Qian Mansion successfully.
"Why do you do this?" Why did you suddenly choose to erase Qian Yue’s memory?
Su Jiameng explained, "Since I learned that Qian Yue’s restraint was willingly lifted by Jin Baorong and found that the binding spiritual power remains during the previous detection, I had an inkling that something was off..."
