The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 749 The motive matches up perfectly!
Xie Xuzhi instinctively wanted to say that it was the person who saved his life who said it, so everyone tacitly agreed.

Naturally, no one had taught him, and he himself had no intention of exploring it...

Wait, why would he trust others' judgments about his fate so much?
Xie Xuzhi's pupils suddenly contracted; he was a man who was wary of even his own family.

They believed what others said without any hesitation, without even a hint of investigation or questioning!
If Yunran hadn't brought this up today, he wouldn't have even considered the possibility of it.

The two looked at each other, and both saw disbelief and deep shock in each other's eyes.

"So, who is that person? What is their relationship with the Special Administration Bureau?"

Once you start thinking about things in that direction, those long-forgotten memories gradually resurface.

Xie Xuzhi took a deep breath and calmed down: "He is my grandfather's close friend and the younger brother of the previous director of the Special Administration Bureau."

I was sickly when I was a child, and he was the one who took care of me. I even considered him my master for a time, but he said he would never take on any disciples in this lifetime..."

Yunran's sympathetic gaze was now truly undisguised.

Indeed, those who are capable of backstabbing and stabbing are often the people closest to us.

She truly hadn't expected that someone like Xie Xuzhi could be so easily fooled by these "playing hard to get" tactics.

However, Xie Xuzhi was still too young at that time, and it was normal for him to be a bit naive and innocent in the face of adults who were determined to scheme against him.

It's a pity she didn't realize Xie Xuzhi's true nature back then sooner.

Otherwise, she'll be another one of those who lied to him, hehe~
Despite recalling many flaws, Xie Xuzhi still felt somewhat bewildered.

"He taught me many of my skills. When I was a child, he was shot several times while protecting me during an assassination attempt..."

It would be hard for anyone to believe that such a person approached him with an ulterior motive from the very beginning.

That person was closer to him than his grandfather or even his parents; he had placed his complete trust in her…

Unfortunately, Yunran brought up the very thing she didn't want to talk about at that moment.

"So, was it him who facilitated your entry into the Special Administration Bureau?"

Xie Xuzhi opened his mouth, and at this moment, he finally felt that Yun Ran's tendency to speak the truth was a bit hurtful.

"In the future, if you're with someone you're not very familiar with, or someone who isn't very broad-minded, it's best to talk less. Otherwise, I think you'll easily get chased down and attacked!"

Xie Xuzhi did not directly answer Yun Ran's question, but his current answer was already an answer in itself.

Yun Ran grinned, revealing her neat and white teeth.

"Then you don't need to worry. After all, I'm not a good person either. When necessary, I can be incredibly petty. Who will get the better of whom is still uncertain."

Xie Xuzhi: ...

Speechless and silent, that was the state of his mind at that moment.

But he couldn't really ignore Yun Ran, so he continued, "You guessed right. It was indeed him who facilitated my entry into the Special Administration Bureau."

I needed to find a way to save lives, and the Special Administration Bureau also needed the Xie family's financial resources and connections; the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Just as Yunran was about to ask her next question, Xie Xuzhi, as if he could read her mind, answered her question first.

"He died when I was ten years old, from a serious illness."

Because he died so young, he never had any doubts.

After all, who would focus their attention on someone who has been dead for over ten years? Especially since that person died when Xie Xuzhi's feelings for him were at their purest and most genuine.

This is probably why, even if a dead person has some imperfections, their past will be constantly embellished in their memories.

If anyone else had dared to slander Xie Xuzhi's mentor in front of him today, Xie Xuzhi would have definitely lost his temper.

It was only through Yun Ran's formidable strength and genuine ability that she was able to pry open Xie Xuzhi's suspicious nerve.

Seeing the struggle and slight pain flash in Xie Xuzhi's eyes, Yun Ran asked in return, "Do you really believe he's dead?"

Before today, Xie Xuzhi believed it, but now he feels he should question it.

If the blood curse on him and his impending death were all part of a setup from the beginning, pushing him into the Special Administration Bureau's trap.

Therefore, that person is definitely not dead.

As for why she faked her death instead of staying by his side and influencing him from time to time.

It wasn't because that person had spent a lot of time with him, developed feelings for him, or didn't want to scheme against him anymore.

It seems that the person knew that he was easy to fool before he turned ten.

But the intelligence and cunning he displayed after the age of ten made that person feel threatened.

If I stay any longer, I'll definitely give myself away. It's better to leave early and at least prolong the time before my plan is discovered.

Thinking of this, Xie Xuzhi suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Tell me, now that I'm alive and well, isn't that person furious?"

"I don't know if that person will get angry, but I've thought of a good way to lure those people out. Are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Xie Xuzhi thought Yun Ran was quite dedicated; even at a time like this, she could quickly come up with a solution.

No wonder he's a partner; it's even more deserted!

He immediately suppressed the three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance that had been on his face.

"Tell me."

Yunran immediately began to use her silver tongue to persuade Xie Xuzhi to be her bait.

"You know, if you were a nobody, no one would have bothered with you, unless what happened to you before was really related to Wuhuang Mountain."

I suspect that the blood curse you were afflicted with and the fact that you were about to die were actually a smokescreen.

Of course, I'm not saying that the suffering you endured was fake. What I mean is, is it possible that he wanted you to feel that you were going to die soon?

Then calmly accept the fact that you don't have long to live, and wait for someone else to guide you at a special time.

Since you're going to die anyway, if you could use your death to make some contribution or something, do you think you'd be willing?

Xie Xuzhi thought for a moment, then nodded. If he knew he was going to die anyway, he probably wouldn't refuse.

When Yunran saw Xie Xuzhi nod, she clapped her hands. The motive was now right!

See? He was raised in a prestigious family; he has a grand vision.

She's different. Even if she's dead, if someone tries to use her body for something, she can crawl out of the ghost realm and kill that person!
