Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Shen Lanyi asked Yi Mu not to go to Xuanzhou, which made Shen Lingtan more convinced that someone in Xuanzhou was against her, otherwise she would not have warned her son so solemnly.

Yi Mu thought about it and realized that that was the only sentence his mother had mentioned about Xuanzhou.

At that time he also asked where Xuanzhou was, and his mother replied that he would know it when he grew up.

Because Qingming had reminded her, Chen Lanyi knew that she would die, and after her death, her child would be taken to Lotus Island by Qingming, and naturally, would know of Xuanzhou's existence.

She hopes Yi Mu will stay away from Xuanzhou and never set foot in Xuanzhou in his life.

Unfortunately, Yi Mu eventually went against her words.

At that time, his mind was filled with the thought of finding someone from another world to avenge Hua Chaochao, and he didn't care about Shen Lanyi's instructions at all.

"What are you doubting?" Yi Mu asked Shen Lingtan.

He was very smart and immediately guessed what Shen Lingtan wanted to find out through Shen Lanyi.

And he remembered that his mother never took photos.

Why didn't she take a photo? Was she afraid that someone would recognize her if the photo got out?

Who is the mother hiding from?

Yi Mu didn't think he was hiding from the Shen family, but more like hiding from his enemies.

“Child, I suspect that after your mother left Xuanzhou, someone hunted her down, and that person was the one who planned for your mother to leave.” Shen Lingtan said heavily.

Yes, someone really wanted to kill his mother...

Yi Mu's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly. Seeing this, Hua Chaochao quickly grabbed his hand holding the phone to prevent him from dropping it.

At the same time, where Yi Mu couldn't see, she gently raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

Shen Lingtan was able to think of this step and did not disappoint her.

The current plot is too boring with just one experiment. It needs to be more chaotic to be interesting.

Seeing that Yi Mu didn't say anything, Shen Lingtan continued: "Think carefully again, did your mother leave any special objects or say anything strange?"

Yi Mu frowned and tried hard to recall: "No, no..."

His mother never revealed any information about that man, perhaps because she didn't want him to avenge her.

Shen Lingtan also thought of this.

He sighed and said, "Child, your mother didn't leave any clues because she was protecting you. She didn't want you to take risks. Just pretend you never heard about this."

Yes, with Lanyi's personality, how could she let her child take risks? He was just too impatient.

It doesn’t matter, he will investigate it himself. He will never let go of anyone who hurt his daughter.

“Take good care of yourself, Grandpa…I won’t bother you anymore.” Shen Lingtan’s voice was a little heavy, with a hint of farewell and never seeing each other again.

Even when the phone screen went dark, Yi Mu had not yet come out of his memories of the past, and it was Hua Chaochao who called him back.

"Why are you dazed?"

Yi Mu slowly turned his head, looked at Hua Chaochao, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who... is that person?"

Who was the person who wanted to kill his mother?

Yi Mu was very sure that Hua Chaochao knew about it, and now it depended on whether she was willing to tell him.

Hua Chaochao was not surprised that Yi Mu would ask her this question, after all, she knew everything.

Ask her which is the fastest.

"It's too late. There's no point in telling you. That person is already dead. He was massacred by Gu." Hua Chaochao shrugged and spread his hands.

The person she was talking about was Ren Hui, but not Ren Hui.

"Are you surprised? Do you want me to tell you how Gu Tu mistakenly killed your mother?"

Hua Chaochao was quite happy to reveal this past, because she felt that Yi Mu would have an interesting expression after hearing it.

Yi Mu looked at Hua Chaochao and didn't say whether he wanted it or not.

Silence is what I want.

Anyway, that’s how Hua Chaochao interpreted it.

She began to tell the story, and in her first sentence she dropped a bombshell: "Gu Tu has a crush on your mother."

After these words were spoken, Yi Mu's pupils trembled slightly.

He knew they were good friends, but he was not sure there was another level of relationship.

"It's a pity that Gu Tu is a coward and doesn't dare to confess to your mother." Hua Chaochao continued with a regretful expression, "If he had confessed earlier, you might not have had a chance."

After saying this, Hua Chaochao felt Yi Mu's aggrieved gaze. She touched his head and said, "Stop joking. Your mother doesn't like him. Even if you really confess your feelings, your mother won't agree. She only regards Gu Tu as a friend."

Yi Mu put his arms around Hua Chaochao's waist, hugged her, put his head on her shoulder, and listened to her continue talking.

"When Gu Tu got into trouble, his two good friends were not around. He evaded the pursuit alone for eight years, but he could not wait for your mother and Li Cenyuan to return to Xuanzhou. Later, he decided to go out of the continent to look for them, and soon found your mother."

"Here comes the point. Your mom was with your dad at the time, and they were very sweet. When Gu Tu saw this, he felt wronged and angry, thinking that your mom had abandoned him. Then he wanted to kill your dad, thinking that your dad had seduced your mom. As a result, your mom blocked the palm he struck. However, your mom had accumulated injuries from that time, and she was no longer at the level of martial arts level 7. She was probably only at the level of martial arts level 5."

"How could a Wu level 5 block a full-strength palm strike from a Wu level 7? The result was that your mother died under this palm strike, Gu Tu went crazy and lost control, and your father was affected and died as well."

The story ends here. Hua Chaochao sighed: "Let me be fair. Gu Tu must feel worse about your mother's death than you do. After all, he mistakenly killed the person he loved for many years."

After hearing these words, Yi Mu seemed to be trembling all over and his breathing became heavier. He was obviously angry.

He let go of Hua Chaochao and gritted his teeth, "If he really feels bad, he should commit suicide to make amends to my parents!"

"How do you know he didn't try to commit suicide? He tried to kill himself, but he didn't succeed."

Yi Mu sneered, as if mocking him.

If a person is determined to die, how can he not succeed?

Those are just excuses.

He only hated that he couldn't kill Gu Tu now because he was still useful to Hua Chaochao. Once he was no longer useful to him, he would definitely kill him.

……

There were no clues from Yi Mu's side, so Shen Lingtan had to start the investigation from the beginning.

Anyone who can endanger Shen Lanyi must be a martial artist of level no lower than level seven.

Shen Lingtan ordered his men to compile a list of all the martial artists who had reached the seventh level of martial arts and above twenty-one years ago, and he wanted to screen them one by one.

This was a lot of work, and it was two days later that Shen Lingtan got the list.

He quickly scanned the list. Most of the names were unfamiliar, and they had no connection with the aristocratic families.

Shen Lingtan flipped through a few pages, and then focused on checking out those martial artists who had dealings with the noble families, preferably those who had conflicts with them.

There were quite a few people there, and Shen Lingtan's eyes became sore when he saw them.

Finally, among the densely packed names, one caught his attention.

He pointed his finger at the name and muttered to himself, "Fu Lan."

"Will it be you?"

Shen Lingtan frowned because he was not sure if it was Fu Lan, as Fu Lan had died six years ago.

But he is indeed worthy of suspicion, because he has hatred towards the aristocratic families, even though he pretends to have no complaints on the surface.

How can you not hate it?

They were the ones who forced his lover to death.

He himself committed suicide by taking poison in front of their own eyes.

Shen Lingtan leaned back in his chair, slowly closed his eyes, and recalled the things about Fu Lan.

About twenty-five years ago, Fu Lan, the lord of Xuanzhou, fell in love with a woman from another continent.

If he likes her, then he likes her. He is not from aristocratic family, so there will be no rule that he can only marry a martial artist.

However, one day seven years later, he suddenly proposed to resign from the position of Lord of Xuanzhou.

The establishment of the Lord of Xuanzhou is a means for the aristocratic families to balance power and control Xuanzhou. Fu Lan's move is undoubtedly a challenge to the authority of the aristocratic families.

Naturally, the noble families would not agree. It is not easy to train an obedient tool. Besides, there has never been a precedent of the Lord of Xuanzhou resigning voluntarily.

There is only one possibility for changing someone to be the master of Xuanzhou -

The previous Lord of Xuanzhou died.

The aristocratic families all guessed that Fu Lan's sudden resignation was because of his wife.

So, they thought that as long as the woman died, Fu Lan would continue to be a puppet in their hands.
