Qiao Xi abruptly raised her eyes. She was flustered for a moment, but she quickly calmed down.

She did not know how long Lu Yan had been here, nor did she know what he had heard. However, he should have already started to suspect something. He had asked around about Han Ye, but he still could not be sure.

Today, he came to the oil painting exhibition again and happened to hear the conversation between Carter and Qiao Xi. He found out that Qiao Xi was Han Yin, so he had a bad feeling. Perhaps he had to give up on this plan.

If Han Ye was still alive or if Han Ye had anything to do with Qiao Xi, he would pay a painful price. He could not afford such a price.

Lu Yan lowered his voice and smirked. “So, you’re Han Yin!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and said impatiently, “What does this have to do with you? Am I very familiar with you? If there’s nothing else, please stay away from me. I don’t like interacting with strangers.”

The atmosphere instantly quietened down. Lu Yan was calm and still had a smile on his face. “I just like Han Ye and Han Yin very much. Now that I know that you’re Han Yin, I want an autograph. Is that okay?”

Qiao Xi grunted coldly. “Of course! I’m so famous, and there are many people who want my autograph. But this is the first time a dog has asked me for my autograph! How can I refuse such a rare thing?”

Lu Yan’s expression froze as a trace of anger flashed past his eyes.

After he secretly heard Qiao Xi’s identity earlier, he immediately sent someone to investigate the relationship between Qiao Xi and Han Ye, but there were no clues. However, the more it was like this, the more uneasy he felt.

His vicious eyes stared fixedly at Qiao Xi, wanting to see through her. However, Qiao Xi just signed her name with an indifferent expression. Then, she said sarcastically, “The dignified young master of the Lu family actually likes to eavesdrop on others. Is this how the Lu family educated you?”

At this moment, Gu Zheng and Song Shiyu, who were eavesdropping in the corner, were speechless.

Song Shiyu patted his chest and took a deep breath. Fortunately, Young Madam did not realize that they were eavesdropping. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have just given a sarcastic remark.

Lu Yan probed, “Miss Qiao, do you know where Han Ye is? Can you tell me?”

He still suspected that Han Ye and Qiao Xi were related. Madam Carter and Qiao Xi had privately mentioned Han Ye. Moreover, the names of these two painters were so similar, so how could they not be related?

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows in disdain when she heard his words. “Who do you think you are? Why should I tell you?”

Song Shiyu, who was in the corner, was speechless. Damn! If she continued, Lu Yan would vomit blood from anger.

As expected, Lu Yan’s expression was very ugly. He clenched his fists and suppressed the anger in his heart. “Miss Qiao, you’re deliberately angering me because you don’t want me to investigate Han Ye, right? In that case, you must know Han Ye.”

Qiao Xi’s heart thumped violently. Lu Yan had already started to suspect something. This person was very paranoid. At this moment, the seeds of doubt had already been planted in his heart. He probably would not release the new perfumes, but Gu Zheng had been planning this for three years…

She could not ruin Gu Zheng’s plan. She had to make Lu Yan believe that Han Ye was no longer alive.

Suddenly, Qiao Xi felt a sharp pain in her eyes. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes. The instant she raised her eyes, she happened to see Lu Yan’s eyes turn red.

Qiao Xi took a long time before the pain in her eyes went away slightly. They stood looking at each other for a long time without saying anything.

Song Shiyu, who was in the corner, suddenly realized that the atmosphere was not right. The big iceberg beside him said, “This has nothing to do with you. Leave first.”

Song Shiyu was so scared. “President, calm down. This is the exhibition hall. Don’t kill anyone in front of everyone!”

At that moment, Gu Zheng clearly saw Lu Yan’s blood-red eyes. It was as if he was instantly controlled.

Qiao Xi, who was the closest, also noticed the abnormality. Lu Yan seemed to have become a puppet. She hurriedly lowered her voice and ordered, “Raise your hands.”

Lu Yan’s eyes were dazed as he raised his hand obediently.

Qiao Xi was instantly stunned. Lu Yan was actually listening to her? Could it be because of hypnosis?

However, didn’t Third Brother say that her hypnosis could only be used on Gu Zheng? Why did it work on Lu Yan too?

Qiao Xi had a bold guess. Perhaps she was a lucky person who had the ability to hypnotize others. Earlier, because of her anger, she had glared fiercely at Lu Yan and instantly controlled him.
