Unorthodox methods, cultivating immortality relies on rich women

Chapter 166 Hypnotic Control

"Da da da da————"

Shen Qingzhou slowed down the rhythm of her tapping on the table.

He suddenly thought of a terrible question: Could Daidai's father be Ma Weiguo?

Because he found out that his daughter was not his biological child, he harbored evil intentions and tried to harm her, which led to the birth of the child named Daidai.

That's why Daidai's mother chose to become a nun.

Thinking about it this way, it seems quite reasonable.

However, these are just his speculations and still need to be verified.

As for how to verify it, it's really simple, just ask.

So Shen Qingzhou asked directly, "Whose child is your daughter's?"

But upon hearing this, a hint of confusion flashed in Xu Xiumei's eyes, "The child?"

It seemed that he did not understand Shen Qingzhou's question.

So Shen Qingzhou repeated her question in detail.

"It's your daughter's daughter, your granddaughter. Who is her father?"

Xu Xiumei's expression remained confused. "Granddaughter?"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhong turned to look at Shen Qingzhou, because Xu Xiumei's reaction suggested that she was unaware that she had a granddaughter.

Shen Qingzhou also realized what was going on, so she stopped asking that question and instead asked other questions.

"Where did your daughter become a nun? What is her Dharma name?"

"She became a nun at Tonghui Nunnery, and her Dharma name was Shi Ruchen."

This question confirmed to Shen Qingzhou that Xu Xiumei in front of him really was his dull-witted grandmother.

"Does your husband know that your daughter isn't his biological child?"

"I know," Xu Xiumei replied.

"When did you find out?" Shen Qingzhou continued to ask.

"When Yiyi was 21, Lao Ma saw an article about thumb analysis of hitchhikers from somewhere and became suspicious. In addition, Yiyi's appearance did not resemble his much, so he secretly did a genetic test and discovered that Yiyi was not his daughter."

The Yiyi she mentioned was Ma Yiyi, the secular name of Daidai's mother.

The so-called "hitchhiking thumb" refers to the thumb's distal interphalangeal joint that can bend backward beyond its normal range without pain or functional limitation. It is named for its bend, which resembles the gesture of hitchhiking.

This is actually a form of recessive genetic inheritance.

If the parents' thumbs don't bend at a large angle, it's impossible for the child's thumb to bend to 90 degrees. This planted a seed of doubt in Ma Weiguo's mind.

"I heard your daughter has a very bad relationship with you. What caused that?"

"After Lao Ma found out that Yi Yi was not his biological daughter, he harbored wicked thoughts and wanted to assault her. Yi Yi could not accept that she was an illegitimate child, nor could she accept that the father she believed in would want to assault her, so she left home and cut off all contact with us."

"It turns out that Daidai is Ma Weiguo's daughter."

Old Zhong was dumbfounded, but not surprised, because such things were not uncommon for someone his age.

But Shen Qingzhou didn't think so. Xu Xiumei said that her daughter Ma Yiyi left home and lost contact with them when she was 21, but Daidai is only four years old this year, which obviously doesn't match up. She can't be Ma Weiguo's daughter.

Shen Qingzhou then continued, "What was the reason your daughter chose to become a nun?"

"Because Ma Weiguo killed her boyfriend."

Shen Qingzhou suddenly realized that Daidai must be Ma Yiyi's boyfriend's child.

"What does her boyfriend do? Why did Ma Weiguo do this? Was it to get revenge on her? Or to get revenge on you?"

"It was Yiyi's classmate. The two were very close. After Yiyi left home, they lived together. In order to force her to submit and completely control her, Ma Weiguo arranged a car accident that killed Yiyi's boyfriend. Yiyi was completely devastated."

Xu Xiumei, completely out of control, told Shen Qingzhou everything she knew in one go.

The death of her boyfriend completely devastated Ma Yiyi. She went home and had a huge fight with Ma Weiguo, while Xu Xiumei used shares as leverage to try to oust Ma Weiguo from the board of directors.

This made Ma Weiguo feel threatened, so he tried to reason with her and beg, and in the end Ma Yiyi softened.

On the one hand, it's because she also feels that her mother is the one at fault.

On the other hand, it's because Ma Weiguo was genuinely good to her in the past; he was definitely a very qualified father.

But it was precisely because of this that Ma Yiyi felt even more devastated and utterly hopeless.

So Ma Yiyi disappeared again. No one knew where she went. When news of her came again, she had already become a nun at Tonghui Nunnery.

After this incident, Xu Xiumei knew that the two would divorce sooner or later, so they became wary of each other.

Ma Weiguo began secretly increasing his shareholding, while Xu Xiumei, an employee, began investigating evidence of Ma Weiguo's crimes over the years. Wei Kun was one of the investigators he hired.

After learning everything, Shen Qingzhou tapped her fingers twice before taking her hand off the table.

As for Xu Xiumei sitting opposite, she instantly woke up, but had no recollection of what had just happened.

His previously somewhat dazed expression immediately turned into one of anger.

"You must leave immediately, or I will call for help," Xu Xiumei said.

Her memory was still stuck on Shen Qingzhou directly asking her if she was keeping a mistress.

Shen Qingzhou didn't care, stood up, turned around and left.

Old Zhong also quickly got up, bowed and scraped, and left with an apologetic expression.

"What do we do now? Should we continue the investigation?"

"Investigate my ass, it happened thirty years ago. What evidence can we find now? Unless I use magic to make them sleep together again, there's no way. But it's not a loss, at least we still have 250,000 yuan." Shen Qingzhou said helplessly.

"This will seriously damage our reputation," Old Zhong muttered under his breath.

Then he added, "But your methods are truly remarkable. Xu Xiumei actually revealed everything without anyone noticing."

"Tch, don't you even know who you are?" Shen Qingzhou said smugly.

"I don't know how you did it. Did you tap the table rhythmically? But I wasn't affected at all."

Old Zhong was very curious about how Shen Qingzhou managed to do that.

"Are you sure?" Shen Qingzhou looked at him with a half-smile.

"Uh—what do you mean?" Old Zhong asked somewhat nervously.

Shen Qingzhou didn't say anything more, but suddenly raised his arm, and Lao Zhong's arm followed suit instantly.

Old Zhong's face turned deathly pale instantly, his smile more like a grimace. "Brother, are you kidding me?"

Shen Qingzhou didn't answer him, but said, "Keep Dai Dai's secret to yourself and don't tell anyone."

"Of course, I'm always very tight-lipped," Old Zhong nodded quickly.

Shen Qingzhou nodded in satisfaction and lowered his arm, and Old Zhong also lowered his raised arm.

Then he immediately tried raising his arm and found that it seemed to have become his again.

"It's been solved?"

Shen Qingzhou nodded.

"When? I didn't see it." Old Zhong looked suspicious and doubted Shen Qingzhou's words.

Shen Qingzhou ignored him and continued walking forward. Old Zhong did not follow immediately, but looked down at his feet. Seeing that his feet were not following, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly caught up with Shen Qingzhou.

"I thought that silly girl was Xu Yiyi and Ma Weiguo's daughter." Old Zhong caught up with Shen Qingzhou and chattered beside her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingzhou suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

"What are you doing?" Old Zhong, like a young wife worried about being beaten, cautiously took two steps back.

"Daidai isn't stupid," Shen Qingzhou said to him solemnly.

"Oh—okay, I understand." Old Zhong nodded quickly, naturally agreeing to whatever Shen Qingzhou said at this moment.

"You know nothing," Shen Qingzhou said irritably, turning her head and continuing to walk forward.

Just then, a staff member from the coffee shop approached Xu Xiumei. Watching the two figures leave, he asked curiously, "Sister Xu, were those two your friends?"

Clearly, Xu Xiumei knew the waiter at this coffee shop.

Xu Xiumei asked with some surprise, "Why do you think that?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just thought you were your friends since you've been chatting for so long," the waiter said somewhat apologetically.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiumei's expression froze.

Turning to the waiter in surprise, she asked, "What did you say?"
