Was it really as Ran Yan suspected, a case of stalking?
Looking at Chai Xuanyi's records, all the information suddenly surged in Ran Yan's mind. How could these loosely connected events and people be strung together?
The mysterious mother and daughter, Dou Chengfeng, He Yan, Yu Lang, Chai Xuanyi, and a maid by his side, plus the suspicious Princess Wenxi.
The maid could temporarily be ignored. What was it that connected these people?
Opium. The word flashed across Ran Yan's mind. Dou Chengfeng was an addict; on that morning, residues of opium were also found in the body suspected to be Yu Lang's. Could He Yan and Chai Xuanyi also be addicts?
Ran Yan shuddered slightly, for even though Chai Xuanyi was amnesiac and injured, she did not want to acknowledge that such a free-spirited, material-detached man could have had such a disgraceful past.
"It seems... in the past, it was normal for scholars to consume Wushi powder as a hobby?" Ran Yan asked Liu Qingsong.
