Chapter 240: 246 Don't Ask, If You Ask, It's Magic

246 Don’t Ask, If You Ask, It’s Magic
The house of the An family was quite large.

The three of them sat down in the living room on the first floor. The nanny brought tea and fruits. Apart from her and the nanny, there was no one else in the huge house.

An Youyi looked very depressed.

She had gone to a nightclub to play the night before and encountered Xie Guangjun, so she had joined him. She did not expect to have such an outcome. She had seen Xie Guangjun go crazy, witness him being knocked down, a tragic car accident, a towering fire, four people who had instantly died, and Xie Guangjun who had been burned beyond recognition. In the blink of an eye, an acquaintance who had been alive and kicking not long ago had become like this—and she had seen all of this happen.

Anyone would be shocked.

Although she was dressed very mature and forward-looking, she was only a young girl.

Moreover, this girl had been sitting with Xie Guangjun previously and was one of the most important witnesses. She was called to the police station for questioning overnight on the spot and tortured for a long time before letting her go home. This was even after her rich father got someone to pull strings overnight and even personally went to the police station to pick her up in advance.

After that, she was even scolded by her father—why would a big girl go to such a messy and disgusting place? Look, something had happened, right? She was not allowed to go in the future!

After witnessing such a terrifying thing and being questioned by the police for half a night, her relatives did not comfort her. Instead, they reprimanded her angrily. What else could An Youyi do? She naturally shut herself up on the spot.

When she encountered such a thing, her father had only accompanied her for half a day yesterday. Seeing that there was nothing else, he continued to work and left her alone at home with only the nanny to accompany her.

Double setback.

She did not dare to let her equally busy mother know. She was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she could only shut herself up.

After Xiaoman comforted her, An Youyi could not help but lie in Xiaoman’s arms and sob.

Seeing this, Kang De could not help but sigh.

Look at this dazzling villa. Look at this life of luxury since he was young. Even the rich second-generation heirs with good family backgrounds had their own sorrows and joys. They might not always be happy.

—Sigh, I really hope to exchange my life with such a rich second-generation heir and let her experience the joy of an ordinary family. As for the distress of the rich, let me endure it.

Looking at the crying An Youyi, Kang De indeed understood something.

The sorrows and joys of humans were not interconnected.

After crying for a while and venting her emotions, An Youyi slowly calmed down.

She wiped her face with a tissue and wiped the surroundings of her eyes. Her movements were elegant and careful. Then, she realized that Kang De had been watching. She subconsciously glanced at him and immediately looked away.

However, this action was not shyness or embarrassment, nor was it a good feeling or affection.

Instead, it was some subconscious… fear.

Kang De did not realize this subtle emotional change. After all, he did not understand women’s hearts.

Xiaoman was sitting beside An Youyi, so she would not discover it. She comforted the other party, “It’s fine, it’s fine. If you’re bored or afraid these few days, come find me… to play with us. Look at him.”

As she spoke, Xiaoman pointed at Kang De, “This guy was almost played with by a few burly men. Even if he dodged them, it’s enough to make people feel lingering fear. However, look at him. From the beginning to the end, he acted as if he was fine. He’s heartless. If you often come to play with us, you can rub off his careless stupidity.”

An Youyi lowered her head. “Killing intent…”

Xiaoman nodded and said, “That’s right, how stupid…”

“So that’s killing intent…”

“What?”

An Youyi suddenly woke up and waved her hand. “No, no, no, nothing! Nothing!”

The current her looked weak, helpless, and pitiful. She was teary-eyed and did not have a high-spirited and carefree appearance in her impression at all. One had to know that her nickname in the circle was “Queen An”.

Kang De was suspicious and slowly asked, “You said before that Xie Ligan came to look for you?”

Facing Kang De’s question, An Youyi was clearly a little nervous. She did not even dare to look into his eyes. Her body subconsciously shrank into Xiaoman’s arms and she nodded like a little wife. “Yes…”

Before Kang De could ask carefully, she told him everything.

“He came to apologize and brought many gifts. He said that he had an unfilial son who shocked me. I’m really sorry… I only said that it was fine. After all, my father has to see his expression.”

She recalled what had happened yesterday and her eyes turned red again. This was originally a private family matter and should not be told to others, but for some reason, An Youyi still said it.

“Xie Ligan said that he wanted to talk to me alone about his son’s private matters and asked my father to leave. I… I was very afraid at that time, but Dad agreed on my behalf…”

Kang De and Xiaoman looked at each other and sighed in their hearts.

If it was Xiaoman’s father who encountered such a thing, he would definitely not let his daughter, who had just been shocked, face Xie Ligan alone. Apart from personality factors, his father’s career did not need Xie Ligan’s help. It was fine to usually flatter and say polite words, but he would definitely not torture his daughter because of this.

One had to be tough to forge iron.

Xiaoman held her hand and said softly, “Xie Ligan didn’t bully you, right?”

“No… but he asked me many questions. He asked me repeatedly. It was very scary… very scary…”

An Youyi’s body trembled slightly.

She described the situation last night. Xie Ligan did not hit her, scold her, or even speak unhurriedly and apologetically… However, his attitude was extremely firm.

He asked, asked, asked, and asked repeatedly. From her social situation with Xie Guangjun to every small matter that had happened last night, what Xie Guangjun had said, done, and what abnormal actions he had taken.

They were all pleasant, but the pressure Xie Ligan gave her was much heavier than the police’s questioning.

After all, it was Xie Liqian, the business legend of his province. With the bearing and power he had developed after 40 years of dominating the business world, it was simply easy for him to use his body language and tone to control a frightened girl.

Especially in her house, especially since her father had allowed this to happen.

She was facing a big shot who was about to lose his youngest son.

This fear and uneasiness was probably something Xiaoman and Kang De could not imagine.

She squeezed Xiaoman’s hand and shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Then she looked at Kang De.

There was confusion, uneasiness, and an extremely well-hidden trace of shock and fear in her gaze. She seemed to have made up her mind and said in a low voice, “Although he asked many questions and hid the questions he really wanted to ask among the many questions… I can still discover what he really wants to know.”

“He asked me if I knew you and how our relationship was.”

“He also asked the others present about my conversation with Xie Guangjun.”

“It’s also about you. Xie Guangjun said that he wanted you to kneel there. I had a verbal conflict with him. He used provocation and said that I could inform Wang Xiaoman… Xie Ligan asked me if I had done this at that time.”

“I wanted to say no… but I was very afraid at that time. I didn’t dare to lie.”

“He also asked me if I heard… my phone ring at that time.”

Xiaoman’s expression changed.

That night, she saw a message from An Youyi. Out of worry, she immediately called Kang De. It rang twice before he hung up. At that time, Kang De was probably in the club.

Not far from An Youyi…

She immediately looked at Kang De, but there was no panic on his face.

The elves’ powerful army swept across. All the living beings in the city were in danger. There were open spears and hidden arrows, and there was a sinister conspiracy. They had experienced those battles. What was this small scene?

He pressed the phone to silent as if nothing had happened, then said calmly, “You…”

As soon as she said a word, An Youyi covered her ears and shouted, “You don’t have to tell me anything. I don’t know anything. I only told Xie Ligan those things last night and was uneasy for a moment. Let me tell you, I didn’t discover anything. I don’t know anything…”

Xiaoman hurriedly comforted her, but it was useless. An Youyi’s eyes wavered and she looked extremely afraid. She did not even dare to look at Kang De… This already explained some things.

Before An Youyi looked over, Kang De reached into the inner pocket of his shirt and tapped lightly.

In the next moment, Xiaoman, who wanted to wink at Kang De to think of a way, suddenly had a change in expression.

This was because she discovered that Kang De seemed to have changed… but she could not tell.

“I just want to thank you for speaking up for me, whom you’ve only met twice. You’re a brave and kind person, so don’t be afraid. Fate won’t hurt such a good girl.” He said.

These words sounded like that to Xiaoman, but for some reason, An Youyi actually magically calmed down and even dared to look at Kang De timidly.

An aggrieved expression even appeared on his face.

It was as if he had done a good deed but was misunderstood and finally agreed.

Wow, it was really useful.

Magic technology was terrifying.

Kang De had just used a scroll.

It was one of the spells of the Interrogation Spell Group that the Knights of Justice loved. It was a true legal weapon.

Previously, it had made Xie Guangjun feel endless fear and even self-destruct like a bamboo tube of sin. It had added something powerful and used three different spells in one go.

However, don’t misunderstand. This so-called Interrogation Spell Group was not all filled with such negative energy spells that focused on fear. Clearly, the people of the other world knew quite well. They knew that when interrogating prisoners, although they sometimes had to be as cruel as winter, in addition to being cruel, they could obtain miraculous effects by giving a little spring-like warmth.

The spell Kang De had just used was called “Regner’s Love—it makes you look generous and dignified. People will always want a father who is both great and tolerant of their mistakes.”

The name was very long and strange, but it was the current mainstream naming rule of the Arcane World.

The reason was very simple. D*mn, magic techniques had been developed for countless years. The patent system was continuously perfected, and new inventions and modified spells appeared one after another. The strong and simple naming methods of the ancient era, such as “Fireball”, “Lightning”, and “Icicle”, were long f*cking useless because they had the same name, the same name, and still the same name.

Therefore, this naming rule slowly arose.

Kang De even heard Hong San tell him an interesting story. He had heard that the name of a spell submitted by a young and promising mage for patent one year was like this, “A super awesome Frost Mark Outbreak Strike—I f*cking wanted to give it a cooler name, but it was given to a dog”. In the end, it was rejected because of his excessive language.

As for Kang De’s spell, it was deeply loved by justice. The name explained the effect, making the spellcaster look gentle, wise, and reliable. He was the most trustworthy person.

As expected, it was very effective. An Youyi immediately looked at Kang De eagerly, her eyes filled with grievance.

“Therefore, don’t worry, it’s fine. You’re innocent to begin with. Everything that happened has nothing to do with you. Just treat it as a ridiculous nightmare… a dream that no one will believe.”

“You’re already awake, so there’s no need to be afraid.”

With that, Kang De took out a small bottle from his pocket and opened it. He poured a little for himself and a little for An Youyi according to the instructions.

“Drink some. It’s good for your mind.” He raised his glass. “Believe me.”

Of course, Xiaoman did not mind. She picked it up and drank it.

An Youyi hesitated for a moment before slowly picking up the cup. Although Kang De’s actions and the small bottle were very suspicious… for some reason, she was willing to believe it.

The tea entered her mouth and she swallowed it. Slowly, her restless and flustered heart calmed down. She drank a little more, and her panic gradually dissipated. Just as Kang De had said, it was fine.

She had nothing to do with this to begin with.

This name was a very long and subtle spell that was very popular, but it was not omnipotent.

According to the author’s own thesis, the effect of the spell was related to many factors, including the mental state of the person undergoing the spell, the impression and perception of the person undergoing the spell, and the mental temperament and appearance of the person undergoing the spell. Moreover, the effect was not very long.

However, it was enough for An Youyi to calm down.

After a while, she finished her tea and looked at Kang De eagerly, like a puppy.

Kang De thought that she wanted another glass and was about to take the bottle when the girl pounced over and hugged him. She cried.

However, this cry was different from before. It was a carefree venting of grievance.

—Speaking of which, this magic is too powerful. Will criminals on trial hug the judge and cry like this?

Kang De was a little embarrassed and could only pat her back gently. Then, he revealed an innocent expression to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman gave him the middle finger.

After a long time, An Youyi calmed down and felt that her actions just now were a little bad.

Her eyes were red and she blushed as she apologized.

“You can rest and sleep well. Forget all your worries. What happened the night before will no longer have anything to do with you. It’s only a relatively strange memory.”

Kang De smiled and said, “Therefore, there’s no need to mind.”

An Youyi whispered, “Thank you… thank you…”

She slowly returned to her original seat and glanced at Xiaoman, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xiaoman revealed an expression that said, “The brat who came over as a guest upstairs picked up his toy. Although the other party’s mother stopped him, I, who’s a little old, pretended to be generous in order to show my mature magnanimity and love, but I didn’t receive the commendation and praise I deserved, so I felt a little disadvantaged and depressed, but I still had to force myself to say that it didn’t matter.”

It was already noon. The nanny who had made lunch invited them to eat. It was relatively light, but it tasted good. The main thing was that the ingredients were very good. Even the water used to cook was foreign mineral water.

An Youyi had a good appetite. She drank an entire bowl of porridge and chatted and laughed with Xiaoman. It was said that the two of them had fallen out previously and were probably going to become best friends now.

After resting for a while, Kang De and Xiaoman looked at each other and stood up to leave.

Although An Youyi was a little reluctant, she did not ask him to stay.

She only got Kang De’s phone number and added him on WeChat.

After getting into the car, he drove away. From the rearview mirror, he could still see the other party standing where he was and looking out.

“Stop looking.”

Xiaoman said sarcastically, “If you like it, go ahead. I feel very confident that you can take advantage of the situation now.”

“I don’t feel anything about this type.”

Kang De shook his head and said, “I just came back to my senses… Women are so complicated.”

Xiaoman slowly stopped at the door. After confirming, the security guard raised the handle of the car. She nodded at the other party and left the villa area. She asked, “Complicated?”

“She probably guessed something… When she saw me today, her gaze changed, as if she recognized me. I didn’t show up at all the night before. Perhaps her intuition is stronger and she sensed my domineering aura or something. The night before, I felt that the woman beside Xie Guangjun was a little restless.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Although she told us this today to remind us, perhaps she was frightened by Xie Ligan yesterday. Out of a woman’s vengefulness, she revealed this to me and reminded me that Xie Ligan seemed to have discovered something—maybe?”

Xiaoman looked at him in disdain. “Wow, why are you so dark-hearted?”

Kang De shrugged and smiled, “It’s only a possibility, but it doesn’t matter. She’s innocent to begin with. To be honest, she was still implicated by me. Even if she has this intention, I won’t mind. In any case, I want to find Xie Ligan these few days… From the looks of it, I have to be quick.”

As Xiaoman drove, she asked, “Aren’t you afraid that she’ll tell others about you?”

“Who will believe it? So what if they believe it? It won’t do her any good if she tells others, only harm.” Kang De shook his head and said, “According to her performance today, she understands the severity.”

Xiaoman snorted. “Speaking of which, what did you give her to drink? It’s quite delicious. Also, why did she believe you so much immediately?”

When Kang De heard this, he smiled evilly, “Of course it’s a magic medicine. After drinking it, you’ll fall in love with me wholeheartedly—you drank it too, so you’re finished!”

Xiaoman looked at him as if he was a fool.

“Alright, it’s a mental potion. Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s magic,” Kang De said. “As for the previous one, it’s a spell that makes the subject trust and rely on the caster very much. That’s the effect.”

He glanced at Xiaoman. “But it doesn’t seem to be useful on you. As expected, people are different from each other. Her intuition is stronger, so she can recognize me. Your magic resistance seems to be stronger.”

When Xiaoman heard this, she rolled her eyes at him.

“Idiot.” She turned the steering wheel and said softly, “Of course it’s useless.”
