The door opened, and Huo Yan was not inside.

I looked at William. He seemed a little surprised. Then he looked past me and inside the door. He searched around but couldn't find Huo Yan.

"He's having an attack now. If he escapes, he might kill someone, do you know that?"

William suddenly asked me, "Did you get the key and let him go a long time ago?"

I frowned. We had just got the key, and we just wanted to prove whether Huo Yan was inside. If not, we would ask William for him.

Unexpectedly, William turned around and accused us of taking the person away.

So, he had already calculated that grandma would give me the key, and he also designed this trap for me to fall into.

When my grandmother's personal maid wanted to argue for me, I held her back.

It seems that Huo Yan had been transferred a long time ago.

No matter how we explain, it’s useless now. The reporters are taking pictures of us crazily. “King Cyril is missing?”

"Was it Young Master Xingchen who sent him away?"

"I heard that King Cyril is currently ill and doesn't recognize anyone. Will he kill people in this situation?"

"Nonsense, Cyril wouldn't kill anyone!" Anna also participated in the drama, scolding the reporter, and then came up to me crying and questioned me: "Xinghe, where did you take Cyril? You know he is sick, you can't be so selfish just for yourself!"

Facing her questioning, I finally understood that they had planned this chain of events long ago, wanting to pin the reason Huo Yan disappeared on me, and then...

"Oh no! Someone saw King Cyril go outside the palace and kill someone in an alley! The police have been sent to investigate."

Suddenly someone started reporting.

"Killed?"

“Can Asperger’s kill people?”

"Isn't that crazy?"

"Oh my god, the young master of Xingchen really doesn't know anything. He just wants to snatch men from the Anna family and let the mentally ill kill people."

"How can such a person be qualified to be the head of Xingchen?"

What a good move that kills two birds with one stone. In terms of scheming and strategy, I am indeed not as good as William.

William stood in front of me at this time to block the reporters: "The matter has not been investigated clearly. Our Xingchen's young master is not as bad as you say. Please leave here. We and the police will handle this matter."

I looked at William's back, and I have to say that he controlled the situation very well, turning it around, and pretending to protect me.

"Master William, you are the best patriarch of Xingchen. What is this Yu Xinghe? He doesn't even consider the life and death of our people!"

"Yes, Master William, now that one person has died, won't there be a second person?"

"The police will find it as soon as possible. Until the investigation is complete, everything is unknown!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the guards to drive the reporters away.

It was William who said that this disease could kill people. It was William's people who came to report that they saw Huo Yan killing people. It was also William's people who questioned me whether Huo Yan had killed people. Everything was arranged for me clearly.

“William, where is Huo Yan? I will give you what you want, but I said, I want Huo Yan, otherwise I won’t give it to you!”

I said in a voice that only the two of us could hear. I knew that what William wanted was the seal of the head of the family, and he had also calculated that I would not give it to him easily.

So he used this trick again, forcing me in front of the whole world, forcing me to choose between Huo Yan and Patriarch Yin.

My grandmother's personal maid looked at me with hidden pain, trying to defend me, but at this time, no matter how she explained, it would be futile. The only thing she could do was to find Huo Yan and prove that he didn't kill anyone.

I have no one left to help me.

The only person who came to my mind was Fu Sinan.

Because everyone knows that Li Ran is Huo Yan's man, and Lin Yuxi and others are all Huo Yan's men. The only one who cannot help Huo Yan and me must be Fu Sinan, who is being tortured by Huo Yan to the point of being worse than death.

But how do I use him?

He clenched his fist and hid it in his sleeve. After all the reporters left, William changed his expression and asked his guard, "Did you catch the person?"

The guard shook his head: "Nothing is available for the time being. One person is dead and two are injured at the end of the street."

After listening to this, William turned around and looked at me: "Did you hear everything? One dead and two injured? What will be Huo Yan's fate this time? The whole world watched him kill people, do you want to save him?"

"It's not that I want to save him, but that you won't let me save him." I smiled faintly, then pulled my grandmother's maid and said, "I'll leave Huo Yan's matter to you to find him. Once you find him, you can come and exchange the family seal with me. I'm going to hold a funeral for my grandmother tomorrow."

When I said this at the funeral, everyone present looked at us in surprise: "The head of the family is dead?"

"Impossible, she looked fine this morning!"

"How could he die!"

William seemed to have known it for a long time, and sneered: “Did the master tell you anything before he died?”

"Do you want to know what she confessed?" I asked him sarcastically, for no reason, just to keep him hanging. The more he wanted to know, the less I would tell him.

Moreover, he was not surprised at all about his grandmother's death. It seemed that he had expected it and he was not sad at all.

"How big do you want the funeral to be?" he asked me suddenly, as if this was an inevitable formality and he had no emotions.

“William, she is the head of the family, she is dead, you shouldn’t ask me like this.”

When I said this, everyone looked at William, but no one dared to say anything.

"If we follow the ceremonies for the head of the family and hold a grand funeral, and everyone knows that the head of Xingchen family is dead, our family will be in turmoil. I suggest that we hold the funeral in secret." William said, with his hands behind his back and not looking at me.

"No. According to the ritual of the head of the family, I want to hold a grand ceremony. How come you are not very powerful? Are you still afraid of someone's rebellion? Or do you have no ability to stop it? Or did you want to rebel in the first place?"

After I asked all kinds of nonsensical questions, William started laughing.

"Very good. I'll arrange it right away."

When he left, Anna also wanted to leave. I looked at their backs. When only my grandmother's personal servant and I were left, I staggered back a step.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

"Go and find out if Huo Yan is really in trouble. I always feel that Huo Yan is not someone who can be manipulated by others. He must have a way to escape. And those news reports about murder and rumors are definitely not done by Huo Yan. Also, contact Gu Sinian from Han Country and ask him to come here secretly to find me."

My grandmother's personal servant nodded and said, "Master, I will be by your side from now on. According to the rules of Xingchen, I must change my name when I change my master. Please give me a name."

No wonder my grandmother didn’t tell me her name when she gave her to me. It turned out that she wanted me to give her a name.

"Just call me Aji. I hope everything goes well and auspiciously."
