Chapter 592 Offering Fish 28
While disguising themselves as Yan Huan and infiltrating the Yan residence to investigate, Lin Jiu and his team did not forget to try to extract some information from the real Yan Huan.
Under the pressure of Sima Jiao's oath, Yan Huan was unable to reveal the truth, which made them even more convinced that the Yan family must be hiding some unspeakable secrets.
Inside Yan Huan's house
A terrified scream rang out: "Ah, I don't know, I don't want to go there, no... no..." Lin Jiu and Sima Jiao looked over and saw Yan Huan covering his head, curled up at the foot of the bed with a look of utter despair, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "This is probably not PTSD; even the Oath of Truth is ineffective."
Sima Jiao looked at Lin Jiu with a blank expression and asked in confusion, "What approval... what land? What does this mean?"
Although he had gotten used to Lin Jiu occasionally spouting new words that he didn't understand, Sima Jiao was sometimes genuinely confused by the meaning behind Lin Jiu's words.
Seeing this, Lin Jiu smiled awkwardly, then pointed at Yan Huan and explained, "That's his condition. It's post-traumatic stress disorder. Simply put, he experienced some very terrible things before, which caused him to have extreme fear and resistance to that place. Even the oath of truth can't make him tell the truth."
Sima Jiao repeatedly murmured the term "post-traumatic stress disorder" to himself, carefully pondering its meaning.
He felt that the word Lin Jiu used accurately described Yan Huan's current situation, and he immediately understood.
Seeing Yan Huan cowering and on the verge of a mental breakdown, Sima Jiao lowered his eyes slightly and stared at him.
In that instant, he seemed to be able to see through Yan Huan's eyes the fear and pain deep within his heart.
Sima Jiao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. He suddenly struck, knocking the collapsing Yan Huan unconscious with a single blow. Then, he strolled with Lin Jiu through the vast and magnificent Yan mansion.
However, despite its gleaming exterior, the mansion exuded an eerie atmosphere. Sima Jiao and Lin Jiu walked along, discussing the clues they had found.
Lin Jiu said, "According to the information we have so far, all the children in the Yan family with the flame mark have been taken away by those so-called immortal envoys. As for Yan Huan, even though he already has someone he likes, he keeps bringing one woman after another into the manor to have children. Doesn't that make him sound like a tool specifically used for sowing seeds?"
Sima Jiao's face turned extremely gloomy. He clenched his teeth and squeezed out three words: "Shi family, Shi Qianlu!" His eyes were filled with sinister intent.
Lin Jiu looked utterly astonished and said incredulously, "Shi Qianlu?! You're saying that Shi Qianlu is behind all the trouble in the Yan family?"
Sima Jiao nodded solemnly and replied with certainty, "Yes, there can't be anyone else but him. After all, Baifeng Mountain is under the jurisdiction of the Shi family."
He looked around the Yan residence, his gaze deep and sharp, as if trying to see through the layers of buildings to Shi Qianlu.
Lin Jiu frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "That old scoundrel Shi Qianlu is really too wicked! We should first find the place that Yan Huan fears; perhaps we can find some clues there. However, it's always Master Yan who contacts the Immortal Envoy, and now that Master Yan isn't here, we can't contact the Immortal Envoy at all!"
Sima Jiao pursed his lips, his eyes growing even sharper, and said decisively, "In that case, we have no choice but to forcibly bring him back!"
Lin Jiu looked at Sima Jiao with a puzzled expression, wondering to himself: How exactly is this going to be forced?
The next day, the front courtyard of the Yan residence
The front yard was bustling with activity as boxes of precious jewels and magical artifacts were brought out and casually placed on the ground, a dazzling array that was hard to look away from.
Lin Jiu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. Then he gave Sima Jiao a thumbs up, full of praise.
Wow, you're really something! That was a really ruthless move. You almost emptied the Yan family's treasures. If Master Yan finds out, he'll be furious and he'll definitely rush back!
