Qi Zhao, after venting his frustration, forced himself to calm down.
Now was not the time to confront Chi He; he needed to find clues from him to save Chi Yu.
Qi Zhao meticulously combed through Chi He's words, realizing that this incident wasn't his doing.
Chi He truly intended for Wang Ming'an to perform a ritual to save Chi Yu, and had made significant preparations, only to be ultimately deceived by Wang Ming'an.
The treatment had started right after Chi Yu's winter vacation began.
Qi Zhao had been staying at home with Chi Yu, secretly observing Wang Ming'an, but hadn't noticed any suspicious behavior. Thus, it was highly likely that Wang Ming'an had tampered with something at the ancient village house.
However, Wang Ming'an himself rarely went there, and under Chi He's men's surveillance, he couldn't have acted directly.
