I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel-Chapter 133 - 130: There’s a Madman by His Side

It’s not that it disappeared inexplicably, but that a Peak Level expert has suppressed your superpower.

This statement shocked Jiang Mingyue’s face pale.

No wonder she felt a headache at that time, and even felt something pressing on her head. She couldn’t even move her head freely, let alone enter the space, and this feeling of being suppressed was not the first time.

It had persisted for a long time, seemingly starting three years ago. Her spiritual power was erratic, after all, she always had people following her wherever she went, and basically, no matter where she went, someone would do things for her, so all she needed to do was issue commands. Over time, she even felt her superpower was useless, which led her to overlook that her spiritual power was acting up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The more Jiang Mingyue thought about it, the darker her expression became. If she had taken this issue seriously earlier, those people wouldn’t have caught her, nor would they have forced her off a cliff, resulting in a fatal fall; it was all her fault.

Yan Jinzhi was naturally clever, and a casual remark from someone else could lead him to deduce the truth of the matter, usually quite accurately.

Three years before her incident in the past life, Eagle had internal issues, and he was urgently called back, after which he never met this girl again. If he had been there, he couldn’t have failed to notice something was wrong, yet why so coincidentally? Just after he left.

Could it be that someone had long been watching Yueyue, waiting to strike? Who could it be? Was it Gong Boyan, who had a grudge with Ming’an, or some people entangled with Eagle?

But it seemed that no matter which one, this girl was the one dragged into it.

Yan Jinzhi lowered his eyelashes, and it’s only at this time that Jiang Mingyue would find him truly unfathomable, not to mention those crow-wing-like eyelashes so beautifully enviable that even girls would be jealous.

Both were sorting through what they could think of, and for a moment, the air became excessively still.

"By the way, when you were attacked in Cang County, could it be connected to those people?"

Yan Jinzhi shook his head, "In Cang County, once in the jungle, once in the village, once at the dam; I can assure you all three times that it was personnel sent by my mom."

Jiang Mingyue was too shocked to speak, "Your, your mom?" It was simply outrageous. Whose mom in the world doesn’t love the child they risked their life to give birth to but instead sends people to take their life?

"Yes, biological mom. I came here three years ago. At that time, the original was beaten to death in the mountains by people sent by that mother, biological father Yan Baihan, mother Zhan Cailian, father was a soldier often away serving the country, the couple met through an introduction, got married simply because they were at the right age too.

One year after marriage, the original was born. Three years later, Zhan Cailian couldn’t withstand the loneliness, began socializing frequently outside, later hit it off with a man who came from a declining family which once produced some talent but struggled due to poor family culture. At that time, the You Family’s third master committed a crime, which my father happened to handle.

My father was meticulous in handling matters, investigated for a long time, and with conclusive evidence, executed the law on the You Family’s third master, causing the You Family to harbor resentment toward my father.

They always plotted and eventually targeted Zhan Cailian, having the You Family’s fourth master’s child, You Shicun, seduce her.

Two years later, rumors reached my grandfather’s ears, and he immediately decided to bring the original back to raise by his side, but the original’s father got word first and returned to catch them red-handed. But what truly enraged Yan Baihan was the pair teaming up to abuse the four or five-year-old original. Upon examination, multiple bruises and old skeletal injuries proved it wasn’t just a time or two and that it wasn’t just since the two got together that the abuse began. Later, through special means, Yan Baihan found out that Zhan Cailian had previously loved to abuse the original as a way to pass the time."

Jiang Mingyue listened with bated breath, though he wasn’t him back then, somehow she couldn’t stand it, perhaps because the body still belonged to that child.

"Old Master and Yan Baihan believed initially that You Shicun only wanted revenge, seeking to humiliate the Yan family and possibly to steal some information, yet Zhan Cailian suddenly suggested divorce, which Yan Baihan had already intended and promptly agreed to when she demanded a huge compensation. If it had just been the cheating, Yan Baihan would have been empathetic and given her a reasonable compensation, but after the abuse, Yan Baihan figured not asking for her to compensate for the son was already generous, impossible to offer more. Yan Baihan used certain things to threaten, leading Zhan Cailian to sign the divorce paper obediently.

She then turned around and got a license and held a wedding banquet with You Shicun, reportedly living lovingly. Yet over the years, that woman constantly troubled the original. The original, having been abused by the mother as a child, grew up timid and never told Old Master or them when something happened. I reckon this further drove Zhan Cailian more insane."

Jiang Mingyue was so angry that her little fists clicked. Yan Jinzhi, finding it amusing, reached out to grip her little fists.

"Relax! Don’t get yourself worked up."

"Yan Jinzhi, next time that old woman sends people, you call me, I’ll help you teach them a lesson."

Yan Jinzhi’s mood lifted, "Alright!"

"By the way, Yan Jinzhi, those five jars of wine, if you want to keep them to yourself, drink them yourself. The plum wine should also be ready. I’ve saved them for you, you can share if you want, they’re all yours."

"Are you trying to appease me?"

Jiang Mingyue glared: Isn’t it obvious enough?

"Thank you, Yueyue."

"So, who might be that Peak Level expert?"

Yan Jinzhi: "..."

"Could it be Liu Chu?"

"No."

"That day when you were injured, was it someone sent by your mother or someone else? Yan Jinzhi, it couldn’t have been an ordinary person who hurt you, you haven’t told me yet." sounding quite aggrieved.

Yan Jinzhi was a bit helpless, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, the person was disguised, even I don’t know who he is. However, you just mentioned at the youth center your spiritual power also failed, and you encountered a man with a knife wound?"

"Yeah! He was called Li Huai."

"Li Huai, huh! Then I know why your spiritual power failed at the youth center."

"Ah?"

"Your spiritual power failed, unable to summon, but the body had no unusual symptoms?"

"Yeah! I didn’t have a headache at all."

"Li Huai, an A-level spiritual power expert, has been in the rural area for eight years. The first three years, he was a nobody, five years ago, suddenly stepped forward, leading a group of youth volunteers to build the current center, funding it on his own. Since then, he became the backbone for the volunteers, yet keeps a low profile, alone most of the time.

According to my people’s investigation, he hadn’t done anything cruel or unethical, nor used spiritual power to harm. The reason your power couldn’t reach the center, I guess, is he set a barrier to protect it, and the person who fought with him that day, my people are still investigating. I suspect it’s the same group that injured me.

Alright, seems like I have to go meet this hidden superpower user myself."

"Yan Jinzhi, could he also be a time traveler?"

"No, this world also has superpower users."
