Chapter 1165: Chapter 1164: Thinking

He could still maintain a superficial calm, but he had a premonition that the tranquility was about to be shattered soon.

It was either that Zhuanzhuan would reveal a flaw and be caught by him or that he, unguarded, would be killed by her.

Jiang Yang could never have dreamt of such a situation before, yet now he understood it as though it were second nature. There was no need for transition, no pain, distress, or difficult decisions to be made. It was as if both he and Zhuanzhuan were devoid of emotion.

When they were siblings, there was no difference between them and other relatives.

When they were opponents, there was no bond to the affection they once had, nor any hurdles of conscience in their hearts.

If there were any, it would only concern Sister Nan Fei.

Jiang Yang was afraid of hurting Nan Fei, even more afraid that Sister Nan Fei would be heartbroken. He sensed that Zhuanzhuan seemed to feel differently about Sister Nan Fei as well. This gave him much to think about, more than he had over the past thirteen years.

Jiang Yang slightly tilted his chin up, his gaze complicated as he looked at Ying Jiuming. His lips pursed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn’t.

Ying Jiuming’s complexion instantly became exceedingly ugly, realizing the implied “again” in Jiang Yang’s wording held a chilling steadfastness.

“Do you know who it is? What’s the motive?” Ying Jiuming asked through clenched teeth.

He knew Jiang Yang was clever and since he could detect the tails that even the police didn’t know about, he certainly could know clues that others didn’t.

“Probably… someone who wants me dead.”

His nonchalant words caused both Ying Jiuming and Yu Fengji to suddenly rise to their feet, their expressions solemn as they stared at him, obvious tension and concern in their eyes.

“Do you have any suspects?” Ying Jiuming asked, fists clenched.

“Yes!” By now, he felt there was no need to continue hiding it; his confrontation with Zhuanzhuan had become inevitable.

Zhuanzhuan wanted him dead, and he didn’t want Zhuanzhuan to live either. However, he couldn’t let Sister Nan Fei know about these little thoughts of his; otherwise, Sister Nan Fei would be heartbroken.

All of a sudden, Jiang Yang thought of something; his beautiful lips tightly pressed together. His delicate and pale face suddenly drained of color, and a flash of terrified dread swiftly passed through the depths of his clear, dark eyes.

He… he suddenly realized something.

It seemed… he and Zhuanzhuan were the same, abnormal to ordinary people. They lacked superfluous emotions; they wouldn’t even feel sad.

He and Zhuanzhuan had naturally accepted their own transformations and each other’s attitudes, but Sister Nan Fei could never accept it calmly.

No one would take it calmly.

Growing up together with deep emotional ties, yet siblings wanting each other dead were abnormal for any family.

So… he was abnormal.

Ying Jiuming and Yu Fengji exchanged glances, seeing the same worry in each other’s eyes.

Although they couldn’t guess the reason, Jiang Yang’s emotional change was too great; he surely had discovered something they were unaware of. This youth’s intelligence was almost demon-like, his thoughts too rapid for anyone to keep up with.

Jiang Yang’s downcast eyes lifted again, quickly recovering. His voice was tranquil as he said, “It’s my second sister. She has been with Leng Tianqi lately, looking for an opportunity to approach me, just like last time.”

“Jiang Zhuanzhuan? What exactly does she want to do?” Ying Jiuming couldn’t believe it: “Could you have mistaken something? I remember Jiang Zhuanzhuan being a very obedient girl, seemingly quite timid too.”
