NovelEnglishChapter 1156: The Mastermind
After making sure that Zhang Fengjia was just an ordinary dude, Xia Xibei acted quickly and got him back without further ado.
Zhang Fengjia tried to defend himself at first, refusing to be honest even when the evidence was right before their eyes.
Hence, Xia Xibei fed him a pill.
It was a medicine that she had rushed to make, one that would make your stomach cramp after consumption, but would keep you mobility intact.
Soon, Zhang Fengjia couldn’t hold it any longer. He had no choice but to speak the truth.
It turned out that the man did give him a pill and told him to give it to Tang Luo.
He would then find an excuse to take Tang Luo out after she consumed the pill.
In fact, given the situation at that time, he would have been able to take Tang Luo out.
However, Mo Bonan had appeared and foiled his plan.
After getting a grasp of the situation, Xia Xibei went to look for the middle-aged man.

However, he didn’t have time to speak before Xia Xibei stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Eventually, he had no choice but to spill everything.
Only then could Xia Xibei ascertain that the man wasn’t the real mastermind either- He had taken instructions from someone superior to him.
What shocked her was that the person had relations with the Lu family!
Xia Xibei’s face was overcast after getting the evidence and she went back to find Lu Xiaohang.
Lu Xiaohang was having an intimate moment with Liu Manhong when Xia Xibei called him out. He didn’t even bother to hide his displeasure.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Xiaohang sat on the couch, keeping his distance from Xia Xibei.
“Have you ever heard of Hearth?”
Lu Xiaohang almost dropped the glass in his hand when he heard those words.
“Hearth?” His face fell, and he turned serious. “Where did you hear that from?”
Seeing the solemn look on Lu Xiaohang’s face, Xia Xibei confirmed her speculation.
“Answer my question first.”
Lu Xiaohang looked her up and down in amazement before replying, “I have heard of it, yes.”
He didn’t expect Xia Xibei to know anything about that.
“Which family did it come from?”
“What has it got to do with you?” Lu Xiaohang noticed the problem astutely. “Have you been in contact with a Hearth?”
Xia Xibei smiled. Lu Xiaohang was as shrewd as always.
“Yes.”
She did not deny it either. After all, no one would pay attention to things that did not concern themselves.
“The Hearth was found out?” Lu Xiaohang asked.
Xia Xibei looked somewhat serious, shaking her head, “I don’t think so.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe middle-aged man told her that they only drugged Tang Luo because they were suspicious of her identity.
If she really possessed the physique of a Hearth, she would have experienced changes after consuming the pills.
Sure enough, it wasn’t 100% certain.
After all, even if she was a girl, she wouldn’t necessarily possess such a physique.
If Tang Luo wasn’t a Hearth, there would be no change even after taking those pills.
If she was a Hearth, however, she would give off an air that would make men lose control.
However, they hadn’t managed to ascertain Tang Luo’s condition even till now.
Tang Luo was taken back by Mo Bonan, and they did not receive any updates. They were unable to send someone to Mo’s house to check on her either.
However, Tang Luo had taken the pills already, and it would be impossible to conceal her physique any longer, whether or not she was a Hearth.
As of now, they weren’t quite sure about Tang Luo’s situation.
After getting a hang of the situation, Xia Xibei was glad that she had decided to impart the techniques of dual cultivation to Tang Luo.
Tang Luo would experience changes to her body after the cultivation. They would notice her changes when she showed up later.
Nevertheless, it was merely an expedient solution. They would have to go back to the root of the problem if they were to solve it!
