REBORN ARISTOCRAT: RETURN OF THE VICIOUS HEIRESS

396-400

Chapter 396: A Person from the Gray Area

After Wen Xinya left, Si Yiyan walked towards the window slowly, forming a gray silhouette, which symbolized his true identity—a person from the gray area.

Si Yiyan gently unbuttoned the second button on the sleeve of his shirt. The button was dark purple and opulent-looking. It had a complex design of branches intertwined to form a heart shape. When looked at closely, an engraving of “Rexi” in a cursive font could be seen in the middle of the heart.

The second button of men’s shirts was the closest to the heart, and was meant for the person whom they loved most.

Wen Xinya did not notice that the engraving was on the second button of all of his shirts.

Gu Yuehan’s heavy footsteps broke the silence as he walked towards Si Yiyan slowly. “Ninth Young Master, I’ve already hired the world’s most renowned psychologist, just like you instructed. We’ve also begun putting Shen Mengting through treatment and counseling. The psychologist has also testified that Shen Mengting is severely deranged and mentally unsound. However, her condition is not as serious as diagnosed and she can sometimes be like a normal person.”

“What a surprise gift,” Si Yiyan said while hanging his head low and stroking the second button on his left sleeve. His composure made it hard for anyone to guess his thoughts.

Gu Yuehan continued, “We’ve already put her through hypnosis. Although we didn’t get any useful information out of her, we managed to find out some details about the people and events that took place before she was put through mental suggestion. However, we didn’t find anything after looking up the information.”

Si Yiyan asked, “Does that mean that Shen Mengting is just a useless pawn?”

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Yuehan answered, “Yes!”

Si Yiyan stared out of the window, appearing extremely gloomy and threatening.

“Ninth Young Master, what do you plan to do about Shen Mengting?” Gu Yuehan was certain that Si Yiyan would not stoop so low as to harm a lunatic like Shen Mengting. However, Si Yiyan would also not let her off because she had harmed Wen Xinya.

“Do you think we’d be letting Shen Mengting off too easy if we don’t do anything to her? But it’s not like me to give her mercy either,” Si Yiyan said while looking at Gu Yuehan nonchalantly.

Gu Yuehan remained silent and kept a straight face.

Although Si Yiyan seemed to be asking for his opinion, he had in fact, already made up his mind.

Si Yiyan instructed. “Send Shen Mengting to the asylum that she had been admitted to previously.”

Gu Yuehan’s heart sank a little, unable to guess what his menacing expression meant.

Si Yiyan’s beautiful, narrow eyes squinted and he said, “Leave her there and let her do what she does best!”

He would never spare the life of anyone who harmed Wen Xinya, even if it were a lunatic.

Gu Yuehan was slightly frightened to hear his words. However, he could guess what he meant. “Ninth Young Master, are you planning to use Shen Mengting to deal with Ning Shuqian’s instigators?”

Actually, he had expected that Si Yiyan would deal with Ning Shuqian. However, he did not expect that he would change his target and deal with the masterminds instead.

Si Yiyan clenched his fist and said, “Ning Shuqian and the rest have used Shen Mengting to harm Xinya. In that case, I, too, can use Shen Mengting to lure them out.”
