The sky was already dark.

  In front of her was a villa in the suburbs.

  As the entire neighborhood had just been constructed, the occupancy rate was very low. Most of the surrounding villas had yet to be renovated and were empty. Only the one surrounded by Jing Fei and the rest had lights on inside.

  Xue Xi frowned and asked, “Whose villa is this?”


  Jing Fei replied, “We’ve checked. It’s Feng Xingshen’s.”


  Professor Feng?

  Xue Xi was a little surprised when she heard Jing Fei say, “Ji Silin and Professor Feng are both inside right now. Ji Silin has Professor Feng as a hostage, so it’s not appropriate for us to rush in. Sister Xi, you know Ji Silin. Persuade him to let go of the hostage and surrender immediately. The mistake he made will get him locked up for at most three to four years. There’s no need to fight to the death like this.”


  It was just that Ji Silin had used some unknown method to cause the people from the mathematics team in Li Xuelei’s project to be dispirited. Although he had committed a harmful crime, the crime was really not severe. Even if the law for espers was more strict, he would only be sentenced to three to four years in jail.

  Moreover, Li Xuelei and the rest were too arrogant. Ji Silin had done things in order to vent his anger. Although it was very difficult to reduce his sentence with Little Square in charge, there was still room for negotiation. As for kidnapping and escaping, though, these crimes were much more serious than the other.

  Xue Xi knew what was important and immediately picked up her phone to call Ji Silin.

  However, before the call could get through, a woman’s scream came from the villa. “Professor Feng!”


  Jing Fei paused and nervously said, “That is Professor Feng’s caregiver! Something must have happened to Professor Feng!”


  He could not be bothered about anything else and waved his hand. “Go!”


  The rest of the espers were all wearing camouflage uniforms. They immediately rushed forward like wolves and tigers.

  When the caregiver had screamed in fear, Xue Xi had already run into the villa.

  However, she was still not as fast as the espers. When she reached the door, the rest of the people had already surrounded the entire room.

  The door opened and the esper team inside was looking for Ji Silin, but he was not in the room.

  Feng Xingshen had fallen to the ground.

  The caregiver beside him was tied to a chair and was breathing heavily while staring at Feng Xingshen. “It’s Dr. Ji. He was the one who made Professor Feng faint!”


  Jing Fei and the rest held guns in their hands and pointed them at the surroundings to look for Ji Silin. When he heard this, Jing Fei asked, “Where did he go?”


  The servant pointed at the window behind. It was wide open. “Over there!”


  The esper, who had been standing guard there, immediately said, “That’s impossible. I’ve been guarding here all this while and never saw him leave!”


  Jing Fei retracted his hand and sighed. “This person has such strong mental control abilities. You didn’t see him because he gave you a hypnotic suggestion when he left, making you unable to see him.”


  To be able to control people’s minds without them knowing, this person was simply terrifying.

  Xiang Huai, who had been following Xue Xi the whole time, stared at the open window with a deep gaze.

  He narrowed his eyes as though he was seeing Ji Silin jumping out of the window and greeting him.

  This was a provocation.

  Xiang Huai lowered his eyes.

  Xue Xi did not care about this because she had already rushed in front of Feng Xingshen. She placed her fingers under his nose and found that he was still breathing. She instantly heaved a sigh of relief. “Hurry and send him to the hospital!”
……

  In the hospital.

  Feng Xingshen was still unconscious and was receiving emergency treatment in the operating theater.

  In the corridor, Xue Xi sat on the chair in a daze and stared at the operating theater.

  She was really out of it.

  When she found Ji Silin’s location and rushed over, she was still thinking about saving Brother Silin. She was still thinking about everything Brother Silin had done for her.

  However, after she arrived and saw the professor lying on the gurney and being pushed into the operating theater by the doctor, her heart wavered.

  At this moment, they heard hurried footsteps and Zhou Hong, Zheng Zhi, and the rest rushed over.

  Zhou Hong asked anxiously, “How is the teacher? Why is he like this? Isn’t Dr. Ji the teacher’s doctor? Why did he attack the teacher?”


  Jing Fei, who was beside him, also said, “Sister Xi, why do I feel that he seemed to have called you on purpose to lure us over? However, I still don’t understand why he attacked Professor Feng. There should be no enmity between him and Professor Feng!”


  Xue Xi could not understand either.

  In her impression, Brother Silin was a gentle doctor who was kind to everyone.

  Moreover, he and Feng Xingshen were in the Moguls’ Group together and had a good relationship. Why would he hurt Professor Feng?

  Xue Xi clenched her jaw. “I don’t believe it……”


  Before she could finish speaking, she heard Zheng Zhi’s angry voice. “What do you not believe? Do you not believe your eyes, or do you not believe what so many of us saw? Since we’ve seen it with our own eyes, what else is there to not believe?! Xue Xi, that person is a bad person! If you hadn’t been so stubborn, if you had cooperated with us earlier, your teacher, Professor Feng, would not have been injured!”


  Xue Xi suddenly turned to look at him. “But what is his motive for hurting the teacher? I don’t believe that there’s no motive.”


  Others did not understand Brother Silin.

  However, she had known Ji Silin for three to four years!

  Just as she said this, she heard Zheng Zhi sneer. “Motive? Some people are born to be baddies. He might be doing bad things to feel a moment of pleasure!”


  Just as he said this, the operating room door was suddenly pushed open. The surgery was over!
