"What?" Tang Xuejian asked casually.
"The evil energy on you should originate from a jade from outside the territory. I was curious before, where the evil energy on Xiao Yao came from. I searched the whole house and couldn't find the source of the evil energy."
"Now I know, the evil energy on her was transmitted to her from you. It's just that you didn't show symptoms before, it was latent evil energy. If I hadn't noticed the mark on your back just now, I might not have discovered the evil energy on you," Li Yang said.
"How could this happen? Is someone deliberately trying to harm us?" Tang Xuejian frowned and asked doubtfully.
"It's very likely. If this is the case, they will definitely make a move again. And this time, we need to find the source of the evil energy. If Auntie doesn't mind, I can go to the shop with you tomorrow. I suspect the source should be where you often live."
After careful consideration, Li Yang stated the worst-case scenario.
Seeing his worried face, Tang Xuejian nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you to investigate this matter with me tomorrow. No matter what, I must catch the culprit behind the scenes."
"Okay, Auntie, I'm going to sleep now. You don't need to worry too much, you'll be fine with me here."
After Li Yang finished speaking, he went back to his bedroom to rest.
As he walked out of the room, he happened to see Tang Xiaoyao waiting outside worriedly. He walked over and said, "Xiaoyao, Auntie is fine now. The evil energy in her body, like the evil energy you had before, has been cleared by me."
"That's good. I knew you could do it, but..."
Tang Xiaoyao trailed off, lowered her head shyly, and after a moment's hesitation, asked, "Is the method you used to treat my mother the same as the one you used to treat me before?"
"Of course, why?" Li Yang asked curiously.
"Then, doesn't that mean my mother's body also... Did my mother say anything inappropriate to you?" Tang Xiaoyao seemed to be worried about something and asked with a questioning tone.
"Inappropriate words? What do you mean?" Li Yang didn't quite understand her meaning and asked casually.
"It's just... Oh, I can't explain it to you, but judging by your reaction, she probably didn't say anything to you."
Tang Xiaoyao's face turned flushed, like a red apple.
She stopped talking halfway, having already found the answer in her heart. However, she soon remembered that her mother had found Li Yang's underwear in her room. She then said, "Brother Li Yang, my mother also found your underwear in my room today. She asked me what was going on, and I told her you asked me to help you wash it."
"Did my mother tell you about this?"
"You little girl, you blame me for everything. Auntie almost scolded me to death because of this."
Li Yang patted her head, speechless, "But I didn't tell her the truth, I just admitted my mistake honestly. If you push the blame on me again in the future, I won't be polite to you."
"Hehe, I won't. I didn't have time to remind you just now. I thought you would be exposed."
Tang Xiaoyao was completely relieved. She walked over to Li Yang shyly, grabbed his arm, and said, "My mother will be asleep soon. Tonight, why don't I go to your room and sleep with you?"
"What do you want to do? You were just here during the day. Do you want more now?" Li Yang asked in surprise.
"What's wrong with that? As long as no one finds out, we can do whatever we want, right? I promise you, I'll be quiet and won't make a sound. My mother won't suspect us," Tang Xiaoyao pleaded, tugging at Li Yang's arm.
Seeing her eagerness, and having not relaxed with Long Lingling that night, Li Yang agreed and took Tang Xiaoyao back to his bedroom.
When they arrived at the bedroom, they tried to be as quiet as possible, turned off the lights early, held each other, kissed, and made love until they reached the bedside.
The bed creaked soon after. Tang Xiaoyao managed to remain silent throughout, doing her best.
Li Yang also tried to be as quiet as possible to avoid being discovered by his aunt.
If his aunt saw this scene, she would definitely kick him out.
Unknowingly, they spent two hours in the room, and it wasn't until past one in the morning that they returned to their respective rooms to sleep.
The night was silent.
The next morning, as soon as Li Yang woke up from his sleep, he heard the ringing of his phone. Seeing that it was Qian Long calling, he immediately answered and asked, "Qian Long, what's wrong? Did you get any leads over there?"
"Master, I have investigated the root cause of the shareholder disturbance in the Tang family according to your request. As you guessed, it was indeed Tang Yilong who was behind it."
"He colluded with other shareholders to shake Tang Hucheng's position in the Tang family, and he also harbored the ambition to replace Tang Hucheng as the director," Qian Long reported seriously.
"As expected, Tang Yilong's ambition is obvious. It's not easy for him to endure for so long from behind the scenes."
Li Yang had anticipated this. Now that he had the evidence, he could act with peace of mind.
After a two-second silence, Li Yang continued, "Follow our next plan and immediately acquire the shares held by those Tang family shareholders, becoming the largest shareholder of the Tang family."
"This way, even if Tang Yilong has ambitions, he will absolutely not dare to contend with your Qian family."
"Okay, Master, I will complete the task."
Qian Long readily agreed and went to execute Li Yang's plan.
Li Yang knew that with him in charge, the turmoil in the Tang family would be stabilized.
He couldn't rush back to Jiangcheng yet, as he still had things to do in the provincial capital.
Besides helping Tang Xuejian, he also had to find out the hidden locations of that group of Japanese people and eliminate them from China.
Otherwise, leaving them there would always be a disaster.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yang arrived at the Jade Pavilion in Tang Xuejian's car.
This was Li Yang's second time visiting the shop. The first time, he hadn't discovered any hidden secrets of evil energy within the Jade Pavilion.
He suspected that he wasn't careful enough and that the evil energy was hidden quite deeply, so this time, he was determined to find the source of the evil energy in the shop.
"Li Yang, come upstairs with me. My office is up there."
On the way, Li Yang told Tang Xuejian about several possible situations in the shop. The most likely scenario was that the jade was hidden in the place where Tang Xuejian grew up, which was her office.
"Okay!"
Li Yang nodded in agreement and went to Tang Xuejian's office to inspect it first.
Tang Xuejian led him to the office, and the first thing that caught his eye were the various jade ornaments and decorations on the wall, which looked extremely luxurious.
The colorful jades adorned the office like a princess's palace.
He didn't expect that although his aunt was old, she had a girlish heart.
As Li Yang scanned the surroundings, his gaze suddenly fell upon a very brilliant piece of jade displayed on the wall opposite the desk!
