Chapter 1267: Stupid and Evil

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Stupid and Evil

Zhao Dingli steadied himself and grabbed a skewer of grilled cherry tomatoes to regain his appetite before continuing with the meal.

Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun are both family members, so Ye Fei trusts them.

There’s nothing that can’t be said in front of them.

Ye Fei then said to Zhao Gushen, "Do you remember what I told you this morning? It was Xiao Mo who first sensed something was wrong. Just like last time, he felt anxious and uneasy, always anticipating that something bad was about to happen."

"Has Xiao Mo already awakened?" Zhao Dingli immediately reacted.

Zhao Gushen nodded, "That’s what we’re guessing. Previously, Xiao Mo had a similar anxious feeling. But after that, nothing happened, so it’s hard for us to determine the cause of his anxiety and how long it might take for something to occur after he perceives it. Also, what exactly is he perceiving?"

Zhao Dingli nodded, "And what about this time?"

Since Ye Fei was present, she narrated the entire incident to Zhao Dingli.

"This time, it seems confirmed," Zhao Dingli said.

"It’s just not easy to determine whether this perception is specific to Xiao Mo himself or can also be sensed by those around him. After all, this time it involves both me and Xiao Mo," Ye Fei stated. "But I don’t want any danger to occur again in the future, even if it takes a lifetime to confirm."

Better than having Xiao Mo face danger.

"Anyway, Xiao Mo’s ability is to perceive danger, of that we are sure," Zhao Dingli said. "Right now, we don’t need to worry about whether his perception is focused on himself or extends to those around him. Either way, it is beneficial for us, so no need to get too caught up in it. There’s plenty of time in the future to verify."

"I know you don’t want Xiao Mo to face danger. Actually, he doesn’t need to encounter danger himself. Like this time, Ye Ning was targeting Ye Fei. Ye Ning surely won’t give up. Whether it’s Ye Ning or Zhao Guqing, they will likely take further action," Zhao Dingli said.

"They might continue to target Ye Fei. When the time comes, we’ll see if Xiao Mo can sense it, and we’ll know if his perception is directed at himself or can include those around him," Zhao Dingli said.

Zhao Gushen nodded, "Fourth Uncle is right."

Ye Fei lightly slapped her forehead, "I couldn’t think straight."

"You are just worried and confused," Zhao Dingli said.

Just then, Ye Fei saw Li Xiaoyun looking at Zhao Dingli with a worshipful expression.

Ye Fei: "..."

What’s going on?

"You are so amazing," Li Xiaoyun said, looking at Zhao Dingli, her eyes full of stars.

"Not bad," Zhao Dingli said, though he couldn’t help smiling widely, even straightening his back more.

Ye Fei: "..."

Zhao Gushen: "..."

Who was just mocking them for showing off their affection?

Where did they go?

While they were eating and chatting, Zhao Gushen, with nothing else to do, made a phone call to the old residence, informing the elders about what happened during the day, letting them be aware.

Xiao Mo’s ability seemed verified.

Actually, from last time, the elders already had an idea, so this time when hearing Zhao Gushen, the elders were neither surprised nor delighted.

They just accepted it very calmly.

Moreover, the focus of the elders wasn’t even on this.

The old man said in a deep voice, "I think this time the target is after Xiao Fei."

Zhao Gushen nodded, "I think so too."

It’s just because Xiao Mo is also involved, though the target is Ye Fei, Xiao Mo could also encounter danger.

Therefore, it’s hard to judge.

"Do you have any suspects?" the old man asked.

Zhao Gushen was silent for a while, then said, "Those who attacked haven’t been released yet. I plan to investigate them once they’re out."

"Don’t tell me that," the old man knew Zhao Gushen too well. "You are certainly going to investigate, but it’s unlikely you don’t have suspects."

"Xiao Fei’s sister is one," the old man said.

The first person to come to mind for the old man was Ye Ning.

"Since you won’t directly answer me, it surely isn’t just Ye Ning," the old man said. "Another suspect is associated with our family?"

This is too easy to guess.

Without Zhao Gushen needing to say, the old man sneered, "You suspect it’s Zhao Guqing, right?"

"Grandpa..." Zhao Gushen hesitated to speak out immediately, worried the old man would misunderstand him as inciting conflict.

"It’s okay," the old man said. "You kid, do you not trust these old bones of us? Even if you suspect him, what does it matter? Can you still be suspicious of us?"

"He poses no threat to you. You are the next family head, and no matter how much he struggles, it’s futile," the old man said. "So, what reason do you have to frame him?"

"Frankly, falsely accusing him would waste your energy and time. There’s no benefit to you. Are you such a foolish person who harms others without benefiting yourself?" the old man rolled his eyes.

Zhao Gushen couldn’t help but laugh. Although the old man’s thinking was correct.

Being trusted so much by the old man, Zhao Gushen was quite touched.

The elders understood him.

"Of course not," Zhao Gushen laughed.

"So, you suspect him not out of any personal motives, but because he truly warrants suspicion," the old man said firmly.

However, this was also because Zhao Guqing’s conduct usually failed miserably.

So when Zhao Gushen suspected Zhao Guqing, the elders didn’t hesitate to believe him.

If it were Zhao Guoxian, let alone Zhao Gushen wouldn’t suspect him.

Even if he did, the elders would defend Zhao Guoxian.

"But why do you suspect Zhao Guqing?" the old man asked.

"Actually, ever since Ye Ning appeared, he’s been close to Ye Ning. Though their relationship isn’t exactly romantic, there were intimate relations. Now they still maintain a sporadic relationship, on the surface it’s a cooperative relationship. Ye Ning always wants to deal with Xiao Fei, and Zhao Guqing wants to deal with me."

"These two got together, certainly to target us." There’s no suspense.

The elders were shocked.

Never seen such fools.

Both foolish and malicious.

No need for Zhao Gushen to explain further, the elders understood.

Thought it’s no wonder Zhao Guqing hasn’t achieved anything for so many years.

Previously thought perhaps it was Zhao Dingye’s suppression.

But now it seems it’s because Zhao Guqing himself is just foolish.

Can’t blame Zhao Dingye.

Zhao Dingye undeservedly carried the blame for his foolish son for so many years.

Ignoring Zhao Guqing’s malicious intentions.

Even if he wanted to use underhanded means against Zhao Gushen, he shouldn’t have allied with Ye Ning.
