Chapter 494: 492. Flickering Candlelight(2/2)
He shook his head:
"No, I'm talking about you."
The young man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. Then he frowned slightly and began to think about whether there was any special meaning hidden in Ma En's words. Then he fell into intense doubts and confusion.
"Me?" the young man asked blankly.
Ma En nodded:
"Yes, but I know you are innocent, so I have a new suspect. What I am going to say next may be particularly difficult for you to accept, but according to our investigation...
"You are a pure white undercover trained by your grandfather. He has many problems."
As Ma En said, Shen Tianyi did not immediately accept this statement:
"Impossible, my grandfather is a good man."
Ma En nodded:
"I also want to believe this, but now all the evidence points to him, so let me ask you...
"If your grandfather suddenly came to you and told a seemingly reasonable lie and asked you to do something that might be detrimental to me, would you be likely to believe his lie?"
The young man's face instantly turned pale, but he still did not acknowledge Ma En's statement:
"Grandpa can't do such a thing, I know..."
Ma En looked into his eyes and said:
"I am more willing to believe this possibility, but I think you have enough time to get to know me this month. You know very well what I have done in the past, and you also know what Shenxiao has done.
"And if your grandfather is just an ordinary person, I have no reason to target him, right?"
The boy was still trying to argue:
"I believe you, Master, but maybe you made a mistake..."
Maan went on to say:
"No matter what the truth is, you should be able to think that now I firmly believe that your grandfather is probably the man behind the scenes, otherwise I would not be able to tell you this."
The young man closed his mouth tightly and clenched his fists tightly.
He knew very well that Ma En was telling the truth, and Ma En could not be lying to him, because if what he said was false, then Ma En would not have any reason or motive to do this. After all, he could not treat his ordinary grandfather
Take action.
So actually the young man vaguely believed what Ma En said at this moment, but he still didn't want to accept it:
"Grandpa has raised me for sixteen years. He couldn't have thought of the conflict with you sixteen years ago."
Ma En calmly told the cruel truth:
"Yes, but some beings can easily spend sixteen years to train an undercover agent who may be used. To them, this time and energy is nothing at all, and it doesn't matter even if you are not used.
"And do you really think that it is particularly reasonable that you were suddenly detected with an extremely rare root bone, and that you can suddenly become my disciple?"
The boy's face became paler. In fact, this might seem reasonable to Ma En or outsiders, but Shen Tianyi himself couldn't quite believe that such a lucky thing would happen to him.
The beauty of these days seemed to him like a dream, but now it seems...
Maybe this is really just a sweet dream that can be awakened at any time.
If what Ma En said is true, it means that he has been living in cruel lies for the first half of his life, which is also what he learned through his senior sister - this is a cold world.
Seeing the young man falling silent without saying a word, Ma En also spoke:
"I'm here because we need you to lower your grandfather's guard. I want you to cooperate with us to trap him with abnormal power, but if you really think that your grandfather is not a bad person...
"Then why don't you come with us to see his true face? After all, if this is really a misunderstanding, it won't do any harm to him.
"And if he is really a bad guy, your help may also allow us to better defeat evil."
The young man slowly opened his request with a difficult expression:
"Master, can you not hit my grandfather hard?"
Ma En looked into his eyes and asked:
"Even if he's really a bad guy?"
The young man lowered his head slightly, showing an expression of extreme shame and pain:
"But he's still my grandfather."
Shen Tianyi's current appearance perfectly matches Ma En's speculation. This is the reaction his grandfather wanted.
"I will control him as much as possible." He promised the boy, "As long as this is not necessary."
The boy with his head lowered said in a weak voice:
"good."
