“Long Yuning, you invited Raymond to the banquet you held. Are you familiar with him?” Xie Jiuhan asked.
Long Yuning’s heart trembled. She didn’t understand why Xie Jiuhan was asking this question, but she still answered obediently, “Not only are we familiar with each other, but we’re also business partners. You probably don’t know that part of the businesses under Third Aunt’s name and part of the Long family’s business have dealings with Duke Raymond. Especially the new fashion jewelry company that Third Aunt established, 60% of the business comes from the F country’s royal family. And Duke Raymond is the jewelry agent of the F country’s royal family, so it’s reasonable for me to invite him to the banquet.”
“Hmph, what a reasonable answer!” Xie Jiuhan said coldly.
Long Yuning did not say a word or show any expression. She did not understand what Xie Jiuhan meant, so she could only pretend to be stupid. Otherwise, the more she said and the more mistakes she made, the worse it would be.
After staring at her for a while, Xie Jiuhan said softly, “I heard that you were not only smart but also kind-hearted, Miss Long, but I found that you were especially helpful.”
Long Yuning looked stunned. She thought that Xie Jiuhan would get angry or say something unpleasant, but in the end, he praised her. It was just that this compliment was a little baffling. However, this was the first time she had been praised by Xie Jiuhan, and her heart felt warm.
“Ninth Master, you’re flattering me. I’m not as good as you say…” Long Yuning blushed.
Seeing her like this, Xie Jiuhan curled his lips and said, “But it depends on who it is you have helped. This time, you cooperated with that idiot Raymond. In order to provide him with information, you actually didn’t hesitate to use the spy my aunt had planted beside me for many years. I wonder if you told my aunt this?”
With that said, Xie Yuhuan’s heart beat rapidly. She almost stood up from her chair. Her blood pressure surged, and her vision turned black.
Long Yuning was dumbfounded. Looking at Xie Jiuhan’s cold eyes, her hands and feet turned cold. This man standing at the peak of the Capital was like a god, seeing through everything in the world.
“Are you going to say it or not? As an enemy intelligence officer, you’re doing a very good job. I first got someone to plant tulips in the Xie Manor, then you got that idiot Raymond to plant tulips in the Capital University. I instructed Su Yu to prepare the fireworks show, and you let Raymond do it one step ahead of me. You even specially arranged for a live interview. Raymond acted like an idiot and even confessed to Feng Qing in front of me.” Xie Jiuhan looked at Long Yuning disdainfully, exposing what she had done behind his back.
“Jiu, Jiuhan, you, I, I ain’t…” Xie Yuhuan wanted to explain, but she couldn’t speak.
“Little Aunt, you can be at ease. On account of how you treated me when we were young, I won’t pursue the matter with you. Actually, I already knew that you had planted spies. I’ve always pretended not to see it. However, you’ve gotten old and become deaf and blind. You’ve carefully set up a secret card for so long, but you were still kept in the dark even after Long Yuning activated it.” Xie Jiuhan scoffed coldly.
Long Yuning’s face alternated between green and white. A layer of cold sweat appeared on the tip of her nose. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart. However, her body could not stop trembling. She raised her head and looked at Xie Jiuhan. Just like Xie Yuhuan, she opened her mouth but could not say a word.
Xie Jiuhan did not look at her at all. He supported his chin with one hand and gently knocked on the dining table with the other, as if he was talking about an insignificant matter. He did not care about Long Yuning at all. “Little Aunt, Feng Qing is not a seamless egg, but a fly will always be a fly. Even though there is no gap, it will always want to open a gap and bite.”
The corners of Xie Yuhuan’s mouth twitched and her expression stiffened. After all, she was in the wrong as she, Xie Jiuhan’s little aunt, had planted spies around him.
“Jiuhan, I know you dote on Feng Qing very much, but as an experienced person, I see you as more important than anything else. Your reputation and honor cannot be tainted, so I hope that Feng Qing can behave like the First Madam.” Xie Yuhuan said what was on her mind.
Outside the window, Xie Shihao smiled wickedly. “Little grandaunt is right. You really don’t look like it.”
Feng Qing smiled and kicked his calf. The high heels were sharp, and Xie Shihao was in a lot of pain.. He was afraid of being discovered, so he could only hold it in until his face was red.
