Luo Zhiquan had just returned to Waterside Residences from the office and Luo Xinya hurriedly held onto his arm smilingly.
Luo Zhiquan stared at Luo XInya and asked, “What do you need three million yuan for? Didn’t I just give you some allowance this month? Why are you suddenly asking for so much money?”
Luo Xinya smiled awkwardly and held onto his arm to walk towards the restaurant. “Father, Ou Lixue and I are friends at the end of the day. She’s an only child and now that she has passed away, I’d like to give some money to her parents so that they can have a better life.”
Luo Zhiquan stared at her apprehensively and asked, “Don’t you still bear a grudge against her for exposing your secrets? Besides, isn’t three million yuan a little too much? Can’t you just give her 1 million yuan?”

Besides, things are getting expensive and three million yuan is not considered much. One million would make us seem like we’re miserly... ”
Luo Zhiquan was a prideful person and hence, did not want to seem miserly. He immediately whipped out his checkbook and signed a check of three million yuan. “Take it. Don’t let others belittle us.”
Luo Xinya grabbed the cheque and happily planted a kiss on his cheek. “Thank you, Father!”
Grinning widely from ear to ear, she turned around and made her way upstairs. Upon returning to her bedroom, she closed the door and her face turned sullen. She then quickly placed the call.
“The money will be transferred to your account tomorrow. You’d better disappear like you said you would!”
...
The following day...
The bodyguards who were responsible for monitoring all the actions of Luo Xinya finally made some progress. Luo Xinya deposited the money at the bank at 10AM and 20 minutes later, 5 million yuan was transferred out of her Swiss bank account.
“Young Master Rong, Luo Xinya has taken action... ”
Rong Yan was working on the documents in the office when he received a call from his men. His thin lips curled into a ruthless grin and he ordered, “What are you waiting for? Nab her. Remember, keep her alive.”
After finding the people who abducted Ou Lixue from the film set, their next step would be to nab the hypnotist.
Outsiders probably would not know this but Rong Yan, who had learned hypnosis out of interest before, could tell that something was unusual about Ou Lixue after he carefully scrutinized the surveillance camera footage.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt first, he was too anxious to notice the bizarreness about Ou Lixue.
When he deduced that Luo Xinya was the greatest suspect, he finally discovered that Ou Lixue had been hypnotized.
At this very moment, he received a call from Tang Chao.
Rong Yan smirked and answered nonchalantly, “How’s it going?”
“Damn it! That damned Wang Chan actually hypnotized the people whom I had sent to arrest her. We initially already caught her but she managed to run away! Those useless bastards. I must cripple them,” Tang Chao barked angrily.
Yes, Wang Chan was the hypnotist who had hypnotized Ou Lixue. She had always been capable but never gained fame for her achievements and competency.
She decided to do something that violated the bottom line of professional ethics, perhaps because of how tempting the price offered by Luo Xinya was.
She used hypnosis to kill someone.
Rong Yan chuckled and knocked his fingertips against the table. “Her hypnotism is really good. Don’t let your men look into her eyes or listen to what she says. Yeah... the best thing to do is to seal her lips.”
