Reverse Inference and Investigation
He's most likely spotted me!
"What to do?"
He still doesn't believe me, just like always!
"What exactly did he do, and what was he silently repeating in his room?"
It was very late at night, but Zuo Teng was still awake.
He carried a viewing device and, accompanied by three servants, searched everywhere.
Why do I keep stumbling and falling?
"Why is my heart pounding so hard it feels like it's going to explode!"
"He clearly didn't attack me, so why am I experiencing this?"
What methods did he use?
Zuo Teng had always thought Zhang Xuezhou was a bit cowardly and acted too covertly. It wasn't until he himself fell into Zhang's trap that he belatedly realized what was going on.
When the methods used are unconventional and cannot be countered, concealment becomes the best course of action.
If he weren't Zuo Quan's nominal son, and if the other party didn't still have some old feelings for him, then anyone else might have been played to death by Zuo Quan.
This method of killing is almost invisible and difficult to investigate.
Zuo Teng suddenly recalled the inexplicable deaths of emperors such as Luo Yan and Luo Ke, and a shadow fell over his heart.
"We need to ask Zhang Xuezhou... He's gone into a vegetative state again, damn it!"
In the matter concerning Huang Daoxian, Zuo Quan, and others, Zuo Quan was almost completely isolated and helpless. Although many people were investigating Huang Daoxian, no one was truly familiar with him, and they found it difficult to explain Zuo Quan's inexplicable methods.
If Zuo Teng were to find someone who might uncover the truth, Zuo Teng would trust Zhang Xuezhou more.
To Zuo Teng's disappointment, Zhang Xuezhou has now returned to the vegetative state stage, sleeping for twelve consecutive days and nights with difficulty waking up.
This flaw is something Zuo Teng finds difficult to criticize.
"Zhang Xuezhou wasn't like this a few years ago. Will his condition worsen in a few more years? Will he be in a coma for half a month? A month? Two months? That would be the end for him!"
Just by thinking about Zhang Xuezhou's flaws, no matter how outstanding Zhang Xuezhou is, Zuo Teng can't feel jealous.
On the contrary, he hoped Zhang Xuezhou would excel as much as possible.
If Zhang Xuezhou could resolve his physical ailments, Zuo Teng felt he wouldn't harbor any ill intentions.
For Zuo Teng and others at this moment, the excellence of their peers is all fleeting. The real threat is Zuo Quan and Huang Daoxian. Zuo Teng clearly understands which is more important to him.
"We need to get Zuo Denggao to plant a few remote-controlled bombs, to kill him if necessary!"
Zuo Teng was well aware of Zhang Xuezhou's intentions; the other party wanted to uncover the hidden clue of Huang Daoxian through Zuo Quan. However, the current situation was completely beyond Zuo Teng's expectations.
He never imagined that he would feel unsteady and his heart would pound uncontrollably without even seeing Zuo Quan.
"Damn it, my first priority shouldn't be finding surveillance footage for Zuo Quan, but rather getting a medical checkup after I'm safe. That's what a normal person should think. The more I endure, the more wary Zuo Quan will become, and he might even resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics against me!"
Zuo Teng pondered deeply.
He eventually realized that he had acted too much because he wanted to get too close to Zuo Quan and too much to know the answers in Zuo Quan's heart.
What he needs to do right now is not to be monitored, but to check his own health and put his safety first.
Only in this way will Zuo Quan lower his guard against him, instead of constantly guarding against his forbearance.
"I'm feeling a bit unwell in my heart and need to go to the sanatorium for a checkup. You three keep going and make sure you get the job done. Even if you have to have someone else take over, make sure this is finished!"
After pondering for a few seconds, he quickly instructed three servants to hand over the private software that Zuo Denggao had created to them, and then Zuo Teng hurriedly left.
"If only Grandpa were still here!"
If Zuo Lianguang were still in the Zuo Household, Zuo Teng felt that things might be quite different.
But there are no "what ifs," and Zuo Teng could only go to the Phoenix Creek Medical Club founded by Zuo Lianguang for examination and diagnosis.
As for Zuo Quan's use of unknown methods to target this matter, which Zuo Teng had no way to avoid, he could only look at the medical reports and try to appear less eager for quick success.
Where is Zuo Teng?
Zuo Teng went to Phoenix Creek Medical Club, while Zuo Quan left his room half an hour later.
He didn't see Zuo Teng in the Zuo Household villa area. When he finally found three servants who were still checking the circuits in the middle of the night, Zuo Teng couldn't help but ask them directly.
"Young Master Zuo he wasn't feeling well and went to Phoenix Creek Medical Club overnight!"
"Phoenix Creek Medical Club?"
Zuo Quan nodded.
Zuo Teng was clearly a man who cared about his own life.
This kind of person is exactly what Zuo Quan likes, because as long as they have a weakness, he can target it effectively.
Zuo Teng is afraid of death, so he can control Zuo Teng firmly through the threat of death. As long as Zuo Teng suffers a few times, he will submit to this silent threat of death.
"Everyone is afraid of death!"
Zuo Teng was the primary target of the Heart Incantation -Stealing Heart Incantation, while Zhang Xuezhou was its secondary target.
Zuo Quan felt that since the effect was working on Zuo Teng, there was a high probability that Zhang Xuezhou would also have a similar success.
His Mind-Stealing Heart Incantation is not released Infinite, but rather the number of casters is controlled. The chosen targets not only need to meet the scope of the spell, but also need to be elite individuals who can truly dominate the Scarlet Alliance State in the future.
Only if the targets of the Heart-Stealing Heart Incantation can be gathered into a pyramid scheme to create a vast control network.
Zuo Quan briefly sensed Zuo Teng's movements, then couldn't help but try to sense another Heart-Stealing Heart Incantation that had just been cast.
"Um?"
Even with just a slight perception, Zuo Quan couldn't help but feel surprised.
The Heart Incantation -Stealing Heart Incantation he cast still exists, but its effects have vanished without a trace.
"Your luck has run out so quickly? You've used up all the luck I had?"
The existence of the Heart-Stealing Heart Incantation means that Zhang Xuezhou is still under the control of the spellcaster, while the elimination of the Heart-Stealing Heart Incantation means that Zhang Xuezhou has used up the energy of his luck, consuming it all at once.
"Could it be that someone was unhappy that someone from an ordinary family like him was made a candidate for the committee, and chose to ambush him on the road, thus allowing him to escape?"
If Zuo Quan Zuo Quan were to ponder the reasons, this would probably be the only one he could think of.
He felt that Zhang Xuezhou had probably escaped a deadly attack tonight.
"Luckily, I protected him and saved him from disaster," Zuo Quan thought to himself. "Someone like him has money but no backing; he's easily manipulated!"
Zuo Quan pondered the various connections and then called to the servant who was holding the visual device and constantly using the software.
"Zuo Sicheng, do you know someone named Zhang Xuezhou?" Zuo Quan asked.
"Master, Sicheng has never heard of this person!"
"Master, Zuo Sicheng probably didn't watch the Flying Entertainment Livestream of the Youth Challenge. The champion of Wanping Province is named Zhang Xuezhou!"
Who is Zhang Xuezhou?
"I don't know!"
Zuo Quan asked a few questions. Some of the servants knew nothing about Zhang Xuezhou, while others knew a little about him.
If it were any famous person in Western Capital City, these servants would at least be able to recount a great deal about them, if not be intimately familiar with them.
After being discussed and verified by the servants, Zuo Quan felt that Zhang Xuezhou's past reputation was not prominent, and his Lineage was even less so, which made Zuo Quan extremely satisfied with such a person with a clean background.
