Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 480 is as thin as paper.

Du Yihan couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, only asking Du Anrao if he could come over in person, as Wen Xia Nuan's condition was very strange.

Although Xu Ronghai's men had been watching her all along, they immediately took her into custody after noticing something was wrong with her.

However, out of caution, Du Yihan felt that Du Anrao should come and confirm her condition in person.

After hearing his description, Du Anrao was indeed very concerned about Wen Xia Nuan's situation, and immediately said that he would book the earliest flight to go and find them.

The Du family members were also worried and insisted on going with her, using the excuse that they were going to B City to visit her uncle or Du Desheng's family.

Du Anrao knew their concerns and worries, so he didn't try to persuade them any further.

The group headed to City B in a grand procession. As soon as they got off the plane, the people sent by Du Yihan and Xu Ronghai to pick them up and protect them welcomed them into the car that had been prepared in advance.

As soon as he got into the car, Du Anrao asked impatiently, "What exactly happened? What's wrong with her? Just a few days ago you said she was good with her hands, hardworking, and had a good personality. Her colleagues in the lab all liked her. If nothing unexpected happened, she would soon be able to join you in the lab. How could she suddenly..."

On the day Du Anrao left City B, he told Du Yihan to keep an eye on Wen Xianuan.

After returning home, Du Yihan did indeed frequently share with her the changes Wen Xia Nuan had undergone recently.

From Du Yihan's description alone, Du Anrao could vaguely sense that the soul-nourishing talisman he had left for her was taking effect. The original Wen Xianuan was gradually merging with her body, regaining her initiative, and awakening further.

"I'm not really sure either." Du Yihan whispered gossip to her sister, "Afterwards, I asked your Uncle Xu about it, and it's said that she had a fight with Xiao Jinhang the night before the incident."

"?!!"

Du Anrao went from a puzzled look to one of astonishment: "A fight? What happened? What kind of fight?"

Du Yihan looked at her with a "Oh, little sister, you've gone astray!" expression.
"Of course, it was a physical fight. Don't let Miss Wen's delicate appearance fool you; she didn't lose a fight at all. I heard that Xiao Jinhang still has bruises on his face. I don't know if Miss Wen is too fierce or if this man is too weak, like he's made of paper, unable to even beat a woman."

As soon as Du Yihan said this, Du Anrao's death stare immediately swept over: "Third Brother, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on girls? How about we try to have a match and see if you can beat me?"

Du Yihan didn't understand why the fire had suddenly spread to her, and immediately looked frightened, waving her hands in resistance.

His sister is a ruthless woman who can take down seven or eight strong men single-handedly. Fighting her? That's like asking for trouble!

"Anyway, that's pretty much what happened. They had just finished fighting the night before, and the next day Wen Xia Nuan went to our lab to help that guy steal data."

Du Anrao was stunned again upon hearing this: "You mean, Wen Xia Nuan had a big fight with Xiao Jin Hang the night before, and the next day she helped him go to your lab to steal data..." Stealing data was a plot point in the original story, but since Wen Xia Nuan went to fight with Xiao Jin Hang, she doesn't seem like the out-of-character, love-struck girl from the original story who was completely infatuated with Xiao Jin Hang's insincere affections, willing to live and die for him, and would even bang her head against a wall for him. Why would she risk her life to go to the lab to steal data for him?

Upon hearing this, Du Anrao realized something was wrong. Could it be that the soul-nourishing talisman he had given Wen Xianuan earlier had not worked, or had little effect, causing this Miss Wen to become mentally unstable?
"You've realized something's wrong, haven't you? But what's even stranger is what's coming. She steals, fine, but ordinary people steal things secretly, afraid of being found out. But she deliberately makes a huge commotion, as if she's afraid others won't know she's doing something wrong. She manages to lure all the staff in the vicinity over, and ends up catching herself red-handed."

In fact, after Du Anrao met Wen Xianuan at the coffee shop that day, he was placed under close surveillance by Xu Ronghai's men.

Even if she hadn't pulled this stunt, it would have been impossible for her to actually steal the data from the lab. But it was precisely because of her unusual actions that Du Yihan felt that something was amiss. Overruling everyone's objections, she insisted that before Xu Ronghai took the person away, Du Anrao should at least see her.

Upon hearing this, Du Anrao realized his third brother's intention, his brows furrowing slightly as he mentally prepared himself for the upcoming meeting.

However, when she actually met Wen Xia Nuan, she couldn't help but be startled by her appearance.

Unlike their last meeting, where Wen Xia Nuan moved like a delicate doll yet still exuded a faint sense of life, this time she was filled with a deathly aura, looking颓废 and haggard. Although she looked like she was in her early twenties, like a college student, her aura was like that of a decaying old woman on the verge of death.

"You... you laid a hand on her?" Du Anrao stared at Wen Xia Nuan's haggard and dejected appearance for a long time before he could only come up with this possibility.

However, as soon as she said this, the expressions of the people responsible for watching over Wen Xia Nuan changed slightly, and they almost swore an oath to the heavens to prove their innocence.

"No, no, she's been in this room ever since she was arrested. Apart from bringing her food, we've basically never been inside. We've absolutely not touched a single hair on her head!"

Since it wasn't clear from the outside, Du Anrao decided to go in and take a look for himself.

Upon learning of her intentions, Du Yihan immediately objected: "Her condition isn't right; she might be in danger. Can't you just take a look from outside? Why do you insist on going in? What if..."

"There's no 'what if.' It's precisely because something's wrong with her that I need to go in and find out what's going on. I gave her the Soul Nourishing Talisman, so I also bear responsibility for her current state and can't just sit idly by. Besides, not only do I have the ability to protect myself, but there are also so many people guarding outside. If something unexpected happens to me when I go in, they will definitely be able to come to my aid immediately. I'll be fine."

The brother and sister each had their own ideas, and in the end neither could persuade the other. They had to compromise: Du Anrao could go in, but Du Yihan insisted on accompanying him.

In this way, he can also help his sister when necessary.

Seeing his intention, the burly men guarding outside couldn't sit still any longer. This Dr. Du was an important national scientific research talent, and no carelessness was allowed. So they also wanted to go in and help him if necessary.

Du Anrao: "..." What kind of devilish nesting doll is this? Are you guys sure you're not going in to drag us down?

Du Yihan and the others: "..." That's too much!
The group entered in a grand procession. Du Anrao sensed something was amiss the moment he met Wen Xia Nuan's eyes.

"If you're not Wen Xia Nuan, then who are you?"
